What are the best Sin Doctrines in Cult of the Lamb?
Here arethe best Sin Doctrine choicesin Cult of the Lamb:
In my opinion, the best Sin Doctrines focus on obtaining as much Sin as possible for as little damage as possible. With that in mind, the best Sin Doctrines areRite of Lust, Sinner’s Pride, Doctrinal Extremist, and Born of Sin.
Rite of Lust is better than Rite of Wrathbecause you get the same amount of Sin for one vacation day instead of random negative Traits on Followers, injured or dead Followers, and destroyed buildings.
Sinner’s Pride is better than Gluttony of Cannibalsbecause you can harness the entire cult’s Sin meters into one person instead of most being half full. Gluttony of Cannibals is a fun Ritual, but it costs too much Faith and you earn just as much if not more Sin with Sinner’s Pride.
I know Doctrinal Extremist is the best pick. You don’t lose your ability to get Loyalty from Followers in the Confession Booth, but you do gain another way to get Sin which is very important. Violent Extremist is too rare considering you’ll use the Confession Booth much more often than you will fight mini-bosses, and even then it’s only a chance you get Sin through that method.
Born of Sin is better than Blind Allegiancebecause there are dozens of ways to get Loyalty and Divine Inspiration but there aren’t as many ways to get Sin. Especially when combined with Sinner’s Pride, Born of Sin is the way to go.
Take my word forwhich Sin Doctrines are the best. These four best Sin Doctrines are essential tofarming Sin fast in Cult of the Lamb.
