Strategy
The helm of telepathy is a somewhat superior choice for the ascension kit, as it directly reveals the identity of hostile monsters rather than giving a vague idea of its threat level. However, the helm still has utility in the late game and end game: some players will have extrinsic telepathy from quest artifacts, and certain dangerous monsters such as air elementals and green slimes are mindless and cannot be detected via telepathy.
