Best Miracles, as an editor’s list — Sker Ritual

Last verified: 2026-10-24

This is not a developer ranking. It prefers staying upright over a bigger number on the weapon card, because Nightmare removes the Life Token safety net the community pages describe. Brigid, Cailleach, and Taranis sit at the top for that reason. Mórrígan, Draig, and Goon Brenn are the damage and tempo picks. Cyhyraeth and Nuckelavee are useful and easier to replace.

Solo versus a full squad

For solo learning runs, prioritize specific healing or defensive cards offered by Brigid and Cailleach. In a squad, one player can emphasize support while others pursue damage or control, but ordinary revives are not conditional on everyone owning a Brigid card.

Once survival is covered, the damage-oriented figures are reasonable alternatives. The list does not prove that a Critical Flare build has the highest possible DPS or that a B-band figure cannot complete Nightmare.

Bands

The rows rank figures, not individual card tiers. A Brigid pick is not automatically Auto Revive, and Cailleach does not grant Winter Shield without its card and prerequisites.

Editorial bands. Not a damage-per-second simulation.
Band	Figures	Why they are here
S	Brigid, Cailleach, Taranis	Revives and shields, plus a burst option
A	Mórrígan, Draig, Goon Brenn	Crits, fire, and speed once you are safe
B	Cyhyraeth, Nuckelavee	Stun and poison. Fine as a second figure, weak as your only plan

Tier IV, same bias

Frozen Mastery (Brigid and Cailleach) is the stable pair. Critical Flare (Goon Brenn and Mórrígan) is the burst pair. Arsenal Overcharge (Taranis and Cailleach) is the generalist. Lucky’s Favorite (Cyhyraeth and Mórrígan) is an optional farming-oriented recommendation rather than the default for a first boss clear.

Questions people ask

What is the best Miracle?

For staying alive, Brigid. Pair it with Cailleach if you can reach Frozen Mastery.
