Part 1 beginners:

Invocations quick rundown:

Softcore run = 3 attempts

Hardcore run = 1 attempt

These are the only death invocations worth using, don't turn any on when learning. 

Walk for it = 40 min limit

Bread and butter for most of your raids, can try speed 35 min (jog for it) when more advanced

Need some Help? = mostly for pushing past 350

No help needed = for pushing to and past 400s

Need less help is not worth it for the points

Walk the path = every time when you enter a room it randomly levels up another room. Mechanics will change based on room level but it is only relevant for Akkha and Zebak. Akkha at levels 2, 4, 6 will each gain 1 more simon says that you have to remember. Zebak final phase will attack 1 tick quicker at 2, at 4, and at 6. Therefore you always want to keep zebak level below 4. 

Pathseeker = level all paths by 1, usually not worth it unless desperate for invocation level

Pathfinder = mostly for pushing 400+ and 500s

Pathmaster = not worth it for the points

Quiet prayers = never turn this on, makes you take chip damage through prayer

Deadly prayers= free points, you get smited by 20% of damage you take, just take an extra restore

On a diet = no food, but you are using brews anyway, free points

Dehydration = no brews and no ambrosia, need sun keris, only for pushing 500s

Overly draining = only for 500s, special attacks are all 100%

Lively larvae = spawns more scarabs, just pray range and free points

More overlords = for pushing 400s, slows the raid by 1-3 min, spawns more scarabs you have to kill

Blowing mud = more dung for every player, free points if solo

Medic = the worst invo in the raid, never turn this on

Aerial Assault = bombs are 3x3, free if solo, off if teams

All Zebak invos are free except upset stomach

Upset stomach = ignore this until 300+, jugs are harder and more poison pools, need specific practice

double trouble = akkha will spec twice at the same time, for pushing 500s

Keep back = annoying, only for 500+ as it melees after ranging so you have to constantly step back

Stay vigilant = good after learning butterfly method because it will not switch prayer at set intervals

feeling special = makes specials faster, also makes the raid faster, get used to this ASAP, it's a positive invo

All baba invos are free except boulderdash

Mind the gap = don't stand in the middle of the room or you die when it throws you back

Boulderdash = don't turn this on until pushing 400s, it makes boulders roll faster

All wardens invo are free points except penetration and insanity

Penetration can turn your prayers off when you mess up and you can get 1 shot, once you get better it is free

Insanity is very binary, you either get it or you don't, if you can do it it is free 50 points and the easiest 50 points of the entire raid, if not it kills you at the end of the raid and wastes 40 min. Ignore until pushing for 350s.
