Yes, you don't know.
Of course!
You can still throw the blade!
Sleep tight! Unfucking your sleep schedule is wise.
Depends on the situation. Did you attack them unprovoked? Then unlikely. Did they attack you unprovoked? Then likely.
Severity matters most here.
Indeed, treachery is in many ways the wiser path, as Sten massively outstats you except for speed and his Soul Evocation is coming back... that said, I don't blame those who pick the uncomplicated satisfaction of Age.

It's finally the Ring of Hunger's time to shine! We're here to save the Azure Ring after all, so let's go all in for the dramatic storytelling! Also, soul flames of hate sound sick.

Good enough! Works as a rescue button.

[X] Age - Cut him down as the span of years ought have.
Hateful might is really powerful for a one pick option, and very tailored for this fight. It makes up for the power by having stringent operating requirements, but the caliber of foe we're likely to really need it for has a larger chance of fulfilling them than the ones we kill well enough regardless.

Headsman is a foolish choice at this juncture, I'm just going to be blunt.
We use blade winds in literally every single fight we engage in. Every single one. I defy you to find one we don't. Sealing them is crippling Hunger. And it's doing it with the knowledge that the possibility (not guarantee, possibility) of undoing it is explicitly a long way off.

This is really good but I don't see what we'd take alongside it. It rules out all multi-pick options (honing because of pre-reqs) and rules out the domain+preeminence or iridescence+pearlescence combos because the total cost would be 11 arete
we can get two of fierce quickening, a domain, or exalted spirit with it... but will that really be enough?
I'm conflicted over Headsman. On one hand I don't mind it winning because while weaker than Avenger its also more broadly applicable. On the other side while we can use Edeldross to move people towards us and pick up other ranged attacks they don't benefit from the Power of Ruin.
Oof, forgot we failed to pick up even one Dominion. RIP in pepperoni, Ring-chan orz

doesn't this apply to Sten? I guess it'd be good against the other Immortals
I'm a little torn between either of these paths

Neither of the 3 pick options really speak to me, they're too situational. Pretty good for the current situation, yes, but I'm not sure how often they'll be useful. Headsman less so, but range is rather useful.

More broadly applicable then Avenger, the Arete goes toward the Ring so the expense is good, and Preeminence Passion is explicitly a rare drop, so picking it up here is just good sense.
Would vote for the quickening upgrade, but per Rihaku you would need to buy Hero Stance to put that on par with the other two builds he mentions, Ring, and Avenger.
When it comes down to it, Avenger takes all the risk out of the fight, but it's to specialized, it's great for this fight, but only becomes applicable to any future matter after we've suffered a severe loss, I don't like planing for failure.
Hunger feels true Passion so rarely, trust that power to bring this through.

Avenger is like a form of rage that's actually useful. If someone is attacking us and we're badly wounded then they've severely wronged us and our stats get doubled. It's pretty good.

Knife + Fierce Quickening + Echo + Hero-Defeating Stance is likely

Sten actually has incredibly frail will. They were worried about the duration of Hunger's attack because Sten's mind is actively eroding when he's not dissociating with his shadow out.

Preeminence: Passion is rare enough that I loath to pass it up, and we do have an a powerful pick that gives more raw power to this option. Sten's will probably taken quite a hit with Evangeline's death and all other esoteric protections are still being disabled by Nullity.

It's good, but as a conquerer and hunter Hunger will frequently have to attack people for whom it basically can't proc whatsoever!

Well, full Quickening doesn't seem to be getting any traction, so plan

Yah, I'm on to Mr. R's tricks. We keep spamming bladewinds and it keeps working, so he's bribing us to get rid of it. Obviously the correct response is more bladewinds. :s
