Perks are one of the most important progression systems in 33 Immortals. While relics and upgrades can completely change a run, perks are the bonuses that stay with you every time you enter the Beyond. As you unlock additional perk slots and upgrade perks to Rank V, your character becomes significantly stronger and more specialized.
The challenge is deciding which perks deserve those limited slots. Some perks provide powerful damage boosts that remain useful throughout an entire run, while others are highly situational and only shine under specific circumstances.
After comparing their maximum Rank V bonuses, overall usefulness, solo impact, and value during high-level runs, here’s how every perk currently ranks.

S-Tier Perks
These are the perks that provide the most consistent value across nearly every run.
Rejuvenated Vigor
Rank V Effect:
- +50% chance to find Rare or Epic Relics
This is arguably the strongest perk in the entire game.
Relics directly impact damage, survivability, utility, and build strength. Increasing the odds of finding better relics improves every aspect of a run.
The value compounds throughout the entire match rather than affecting a single stat.
Merciful Contemplation
Rank V Effect:
- Receive a random Rare or Epic Relic after killing 30 monsters
A free high-rarity relic very early in a run is incredibly powerful.
The upgraded version activates quickly and often gives players a major power spike before most difficult encounters begin.
Astute Erudite
Rank V Effect:
- Co-Op Power generates 60% faster
Co-Op Powers are among the strongest abilities available.
Generating them faster means more damage, more utility, and more opportunities to help your team.
Since every class benefits from Co-Op Powers, this perk never feels wasted.
Renewal of Dust
Rank V Effect:
- Gain 75% more Dust from defeated monsters
Dust fuels many powerful mechanics and upgrades throughout a run.
More Dust means faster progression and stronger builds, making this one of the best economy perks available.
Empyreal Deceptiveness
Rank V Effect:
- Critical hits deal +100% damage while Co-Strike counter remains above 30
Experienced players can maintain Co-Strike counters consistently, turning this perk into one of the strongest damage multipliers available.
The ceiling is incredibly high.
A-Tier Perks
Excellent perks that fit most builds but don’t quite reach S-Tier consistency.
Morphology of Justice
Rank V Effect:
- +25% damage while Dust is full
A reliable damage increase for players who manage resources efficiently.
Since Dust often stays capped between purchases, this bonus has surprisingly high uptime.
Soaring Grace
Rank V Effect:
- Co-Op Powers gain +30% effect or duration
Co-Op Powers are already strong.
Making them stronger benefits both you and your teammates.
This becomes even better during coordinated group play.
Defiant Denial
Rank V Effect:
- Gain a 150-point Shield
Simple but effective.
The free shield protects against mistakes and often prevents early deaths during difficult encounters.
Cheerful Camaraderie
Rank V Effect:
- Revive allies 100% faster
- Instantly refresh Co-Op Power after reviving
This perk becomes extremely valuable during challenging runs where teammates frequently go down.
Its value increases dramatically in late-game content.
Light Bringer
Rank V Effect:
- Heavy Attacks deal 25% more damage to Armor
Armor-heavy enemies can be annoying, and this perk significantly speeds up those encounters.
The only reason it isn’t higher is because some runs contain fewer armored targets.
B-Tier Perks
Solid choices that can work well but generally aren’t priority picks.
Cosmic Rebirth
Rank V Effect:
- Dash Combo deals 30% more damage
Useful for aggressive players who frequently weave dash combos into combat.
The bonus is good, but it affects a relatively small portion of your overall damage output.
Fool’s Fate
Rank V Effect:
- Co-Strikes deal 15% more damage
Co-Strikes happen frequently in coordinated groups, making this a respectable damage boost.
Still, other offensive perks tend to provide larger overall gains.
Fortitude of Heart
Rank V Effect:
- +50 Maximum Health
Extra health is never bad.
The problem is that defensive stats generally struggle to compete with relic economy and damage bonuses.
Blissful Farewell
Rank V Effect:
- 20% chance for relic rerolls to increase rarity
The effect is powerful when it activates.
Unfortunately, the randomness prevents it from reaching higher tiers.
Scourge of Omnipotence
Rank V Effect:
- 100% chance to find additional Eternal Shards
Useful for progression-focused players who want to maximize long-term account growth.
Less impactful inside individual runs.
C-Tier Perks
Situational perks that struggle to compete with stronger alternatives.
Bold Revolt
Rank V Effect:
- Bone Shrine healing grants 100% additional Health
The bonus can be strong, but it relies entirely on finding and using Bone Shrines.
That inconsistency hurts its ranking.
Immeasurable Love
Rank V Effect:
- Regenerate 1% health every 5 seconds below 40% HP
The healing sounds appealing but activates only when you’re already in danger.
Most players would rather prevent damage than slowly recover from it.
Guiding Light
Rank V Effect:
- Heavy Attacks deal 25% more Armor damage
Useful in specific situations but too narrow compared to general-purpose perks.
Rites of Passage
Rank V Effect:
- Deal 100% more damage to Lucido monsters
A huge damage increase.
The issue is that it only affects one enemy type.
Outside those encounters, the perk effectively does nothing.
Elegy of Plethora
Rank V Effect:
- Deal 125% more damage for 5 minutes after entering the Beyond
The opening burst is enormous.
However, once the timer expires, the perk becomes completely inactive.
For longer runs, that greatly reduces its value.

The strongest perks in 33 Immortals are generally the ones that improve your run from start to finish rather than offering niche bonuses against specific enemies or temporary effects.
Rejuvenated Vigor, Merciful Contemplation, Astute Erudite, Renewal of Dust, and Empyreal Deceptiveness currently stand out as the most universally useful perks, making them excellent investments regardless of your preferred playstyle.
As new content, balance patches, and additional perks arrive, the rankings may shift, but for now these perks provide the best combination of progression, survivability, and damage potential available in the Beyond.
