in its current state it offers very little reason to try new whips once you find the ones you like. In the previous versions of the game to spice up the run I could try a new whip and because the whip was cursed it adds a new extra challenge. And the reward for winning with the curse was a non cursed version of the whip where you just had the unique whip benefit.

Yes, this is probably S Tier if you have the Deluxe Whip, but chances are you won't be running with that whip 24/7 (and I personally find it to be a cheap and boring strategy).

This is essentially Lucky, but worse as it only blocks one specific type of damage.

Be warned, you only get one attempt at each temple and failure or settling for a lesser relic means you will never see that temple again… The cleverest players will use the phantom runs of failed attempts from other players to their advantage and avoid the missteps and mistakes that led to their doom.
