	Both of Okawaru's buffs - Heroism at 1, and Finesse at 4, are strong, straightforward abilities that can help both melee and ranged combat. Their only costs are piety (and some MP), meaning they should be used early and often. Previously, it was recommended "to use Heroism on any remotely threatening fight", though the cost of the ability has increased greatly since then. Still, you shouldn't hesitate to buff in dangerous situations - dying with max piety won't help a bit.

	Meanwhile, Duel allows you to bring out a monster for a 1v1 fight. It can take out support monsters, such as a [[moth of wrath]], or to fight a tough monster without its cohorts. However, once you've used this ability, the only way to escape is to win the fight or abandon Okawaru. Also, once the duel ends, the enemies outside will have a free turn to hit you.<!--I haven't checked this for 0.32, but this was true for 0.31.--> Duel can also be used to get "free" turns to buff yourself - Duel a weak enemy, drink potions and use abilities, then retain those buffs as you leave - only HP/MP is reset.

In the Abyss, duel could be used as an instant escape tool and reset, but it's better to avoid using it in the rune vault, as you will have to go on the search for the rune again.

	Okawaru's 6* gifts can very strong; a +6 [[broad axe]] of electrocution by the rune branches or so is a major power boost. But, like a regular scroll of acquirement, [[RNG]] could give you nothing but trash.

	In the [[extended game]], Okawaru remains a decent god. While Heroism will be useless (due to an abundance of XP), Finesse is helpful for the entire game, and Duel is a strong panic button. Nevertheless, a [[good god]] (namely [[TSO]]) may be preferable. If you do plan on abandoning Okawaru, be sure to have a safe place to explore whilst facing retribution.

Also, Throwing gifts were available at 3*, had a much lower gift timeout, and were more likely if you had more [[Throwing]] skill. In addition, there was a minimum of 0.2 attack delay, so Finesse was weaker if your attack delay was lower than 0.4.
