====== INTRODUCTION ======
The Pantheon is a minigame introduced in version 2.0034. In this minigame, you slot in spirits into three slots - diamond, ruby, and jade for different effects upon the game. Each slot or spirit swap costs one worship swap, but unslotting does not cost any worship swaps. Regenerating worship swaps take time: regenerating from 0 to 1 swaps takes 16 hours, 1 to 2 takes 4 hours, and 2 to 3 takes 1 hour.

====== SETUPS ======
Format:
[circumstance]: [diamond] - [ruby] - [jade]
|| [additional notes 1]
|| [additional notes 2]
|| [additional notes 3]
|| [etc etc…]

NOTE: "Active" means a playstyle involving any amount of clicking golden cookies and stacking their effects to gain cookies, while "idle" refers to a playstyle around EXCLUSIVELY letting the game produce its own cookies.

BEFORE FIRST ASCENSION AT 365 PRESTIGE:
(If you've ascended before and have less than 365 prestige, keep using this setup until you have more than 365 in the next ascension)

Active: Godzamok - Muridal - Dotjeiess
|| Can also slot Cyclius in Jade if your time zone/playing time allows for it to be at least +0% CpS or above

Idle (not clicking any golden cookies or clicking the big cookie): Holobore - Jeremy - Mokalsium
|| Swap Skruuia to diamond when popping wrinklers
|| Can also slot Cyclius to jade when ~1 am to ~11 am (UTC)

AFTER FIRST ASCENSION AT 365 PRESTIGE:

Idle: Mokalsium - Holobore - Jeremy
|| Swap Skruuia to diamond when popping wrinklers
|| May swap Cyclius to jade when ~1 am to ~11 am (UTC)

Simple click combo: Godzamok - Mokalsium - Muridal
|| no midcombo swap needed, suitable for small combos without needing much skill

Late game big combo (w holobore swap): Vomitrax - Selebrak - Muridal
|| Can also Cyclius into jade when ~1 am to ~11 am (UTC)
|| Swap Godzamok to diamond after getting the desired natural buffs
|| Swap Holobore to ruby after getting every desired golden cookie buff (aka after clicking all the golden cookies you want to click)
|| Swap Mokalsium to diamond after using Godzamok
|| If no holobore swap, then Selebrak go to jade and Muridal go to ruby

Advanced Midgame rushing setup: nothing - Mokalsium - nothing
|| Swap Godzamok to diamond after getting the golden cookie buffs (so you can sell buildings), you can first get a small buff to stack up cookies with Godzamok then do the real combo by unslotting and using Dragon Orbs
|| If you are confident that this combo will get you enough for ascend, do nothing - nothing - nothing and swap Mokalsium to ruby after getting the buffs (assuming rebuying for another round of godzamok; otherwise swap Mokalsium to diamond)
|| This allows you to use Dragon Orbs for much quicker combos

Simple garden combo: Mokalsium - Jeremy - Selebrak
|| Can also slot Cyclius in Jade if time allows for it (~0:30 to ~11:30 am UTC)

Garden combo w Holobore swap: Mokalsium - Vomitrax - Jeremy
|| Can also slot Cyclius in Jade if time allows for it (~1 to ~11 am UTC)
|| Swap Holobore to ruby after clicking every golden cookie you need
|| If worship swaps are scarce you can also just initially not slot anything in ruby

====== SPIRIT PROFILES ======
Format goes as follows:
| [name]
| O: [overall effects]
|| D: [effect at diamond slot]
|| R: [effect at ruby slot]
|| J: [effect at jade slot]
[description of its uses]

| Holobore, Spirit of Asceticism
| O: If a golden cookie is clicked, this spirit is unslotted and all worship slots are used up.
|| D: +15% base CpS.
|| R: +10% base CpS.
|| J: +5% base CpS.
Main use for active players is to slot in ruby after all the golden cookies are clicked in an especially large combo, or during garden combos. Otherwise a mid aura for idle only players.

| Vomitrax, Spirit of Decadence
|| D: Golden and wrath cookie effect duration +7%. Buildings grant -7% CpS.
|| R: Golden and wrath cookie effect duration +5%. Buildings grant -5% CpS.
|| J: Golden and wrath cookie effect duration +2%. Buildings grant -2% CpS.
Useful in stacking the natural F + DH + BS buffs during big combos, and also unlike Godzamok allows for the usage of Dragon Orbs; you can initially have it in diamond and then swap Godzamok to diamond after you get the natural buffs that you desire.

| Godzamok, Spirit of Ruin
| O: Selling buildings triggers a buff depending on how many buildings were sold.
|| D: Buff boosts clicks by +1% for every building sold for 10 seconds.
|| R: Buff boosts clicks by +0.5% for every building sold for 10 seconds.
|| J: Buff boosts clicks by +0.25% for every building sold for 10 seconds.
Extremely powerful spirit that can easily give a x60 (or x5 in early game) click power multiplier or higher in click combos by consecutively selling buildings that produce very little. Note that separate building sells do not reset buff timer and do not update the tooltip, but the amount of buildings sold still adds to the buff strength. Can also be swapped in when need to use it and swapped out for another CpS aura after use (more information on how to use this in the strategies section). The only real downside of it is that it disables Dragon Orbs from functioning

| Cyclius, Spirit of Ages
| O: CpS bonus fluctuating between +15% and -15% over time.
|| D: Effect cycles over 3 hours.
|| R: Effect cycles over 12 hours.
|| J: Effect cycles over 24 hours.
Unironically is the best when slotted in jade, where it provides a bonus bigger than Muridal during ~1:05 to ~11:55 am UTC, thus becoming the third best cookie-related aura in jade (just behind Godzamok and Mokalsium). If you are doing something that already involves the two spirits in other slots, then you can use it in jade for certain times of the day for more cookies.

| Selebrak, Spirit of Festivities
| O: Some seasonal effects are boosted.
|| D: Large boost. Switching seasons is 100% pricier.
|| R: Medium boost. Switching seasons is 50% pricier.
|| J: Small boost. Switching seasons is 25% pricier.
While it provides boosts to seasonal drop rates, it also boosts golden cookie frequency by 3/2/1% if there are any non-business day seasons active. The latter means that it is also a viable spirit to slot in ruby/jade for late game combos.
Also boosts valentine flavored cookie strength by 30%/20%/10% regardless of current active season.

| Dotjeiess, Spirit of Creation
|| D: All buildings are 7% cheaper. Heavenly chips have 30% less effect.
|| R: All buildings are 5% cheaper. Heavenly chips have 20% less effect.
|| J: All buildings are 2% cheaper. Heavenly chips have 10% less effect.
Can be useful in jade if you haven’t ascended yet. Otherwise, it can be used if it would allow for an extra building achievement/upgrade for x of a building.

| Muridal, Spirit of Labor
|| D: Clicking is 15% more powerful. Buildings produce 3% less.
|| R: Clicking is 10% more powerful. Buildings produce 2% less.
|| J: Clicking is 5% more powerful. Buildings produce 1% less.
A very solid aura for active players doing click combos.

| Jeremy, Spirit of Industry
|| D: Buildings produce 10% more. Golden and wrath cookies appear 10% less.
|| R: Buildings produce 6% more. Golden and wrath cookies appear 6% less.
|| J: Buildings produce 3% more. Golden and wrath cookies appear 3% less.
Kind of useful for garden combos and idling. Otherwise almost completely useless.

| Mokalsium, Mother Spirit
|| D: Milk is 10% more powerful. Golden and wrath cookies appear 15% less.
|| R: Milk is 5% more powerful. Golden and wrath cookies appear 10% less.
|| J: Milk is 3% more powerful. Golden and wrath cookies appear 5% less.
Useful in almost every situation, though in click combos it is best to be swapped to diamond after using Godzamok. Can give more than x3 CpS with enough kittens and achievements.

| Skruuia, Spirit of Scorn
| O: All golden cookies are wrath cookies with a greater chance of a negative effect.
|| D: Wrinklers appear 150% faster and digest 15% more cookies.
|| R: Wrinklers appear 100% faster and digest 10% more cookies.
|| J: Wrinklers appear 50% faster and digest 5% more cookies.
Unfortunately it is a lie in the sense that it does not make wrinklers digest 15/10/5% more cookies, just makes them give more cookies when popped. Therefore you can slot it to diamond when popping wrinklers for maximum benefit. Also useful for farming halloween seasonals, hunting shiny wrinklers, or getting the x wrinkler popped achievements.

| Ridigel, Spirit of Order
| O: Effect is only active when your total amount of buildings ends with 0.
|| D: Sugar lumps ripen 1 hour sooner.
|| R: Sugar lumps ripen 40 minutes sooner.
|| J: Sugar lumps ripen 20 minutes sooner.
Can be temporarily slotted to diamond one hour before the sugar lump ripens to get growth while still allowing for other auras while the sugar lump is still growing.

====== STRATEGIES & TECHNICALITIES ======

Unless you are going to ascend very soon, DO NOT use up all three worship swaps at once! Ideally you’d wait 1 hour for each swap to refill, but depending on circumstance one may want to use two worship swaps at once.

Swap Ridigel to diamond one hour before lump ripens for any of the setups above.

GODZAMOK: how to 101
Sell all buildings AT ONCE that produce almost no cps by themselves, and consider how their synergy will affect other buildings to become worth selling. Note that Temples shouldn't be sold if planning to swap something in afterwards, and selling Wizard Towers will nuke stored mana down to a maximum of the max magic with 1 tower (basically very low), so only do it if you're fine with that.
(you can always just rebuy buildings and sell again if your godzamok buff runs out before click frenzy does, which is why you should sell every sellable building at once)

The set of buildings worth selling starts with something like Cursors - Temples except Grandmas, and the final set of buildings worth selling at endgame is Farms - Antimatter condensers except for Time machines (and temples if you're doing a Mokalsium switch). If some sort of Elder Battlion execution is used, just sell everything from Cursors up to Wizard Towers, then buy back starting from Grandmas -> Cursors -> Farms -> (going down)

For buying back after a combo, a general rule of thumb is to buy back a certain type of building until the next one costs more than 0.1% of your current bank. Do so for every building that you sold.

Selebrak’s full list of bonuses include:
During Business day: Golden cookie frequency +4.5/3/1.5%.
During Halloween: The fail rate of Halloween flavored cookies decreased by 10/5/3%, multiplicative.
During Easter: The fail rate of Easter eggs decreased by 10/5/3%, multiplicative.
During Christmas: The fail rate of Reindeer cookies decreased by 10/5/3% (multiplicative), and Reindeers appear 10/5/3% more often.
During any non-business-day season: Golden Cookie frequency +3/2/1%.
At all times: Valentine’s flavored cookies are 30/20/10% more powerful.

Closing or importing will reset Godzamok’s buff strength to 0% (but will preserve the buff as well as its duration).

Worship swap regeneration timer progresses while offline for up to a swap is finished regenerating.

Skruuia makes wrath cookies pool Ruin and Clots 2 extra times. However, it must be active while the wrath cookie is being clicked to have that effect; so you can use it to spawn a wrath cookie outside of the grandmapocalypse and then unslot it to have an essentially normal wrath cookie.

There are no achievements directly related to the Pantheon.
