How Oaths work
- Repair the Shrine of Oaths in your castle — 350 gold.
- Equip one Oath. Only one can be active.
- Rank it up with Knowledge. At rank 3 the Oath awakens.

Which one to pick
No guide has published a proper Oath tier list yet. A sensible starting point:
- Struggling with timing? Steady Hand — a wider window and Energy back on each success.
- Mage / Energy-heavy builds: Wellspring (recommended in iddopt’s guide).
- Damage: Glass Blade, if you can avoid hits.
- Staying alive: Bulwark, Last Stand or Second Breath.
The Oath list and numbers come from the Fandom wiki and pixel-lineage.wiki, which match word for word (they may share one source); iddopt’s video confirms the one-Oath limit and Knowledge upgrades.
