 '''Punishment/Desecration Penalty''' - If your piety drops below zero, or if you desecrate his altar, he will give every monster {{t|First strike}} and {{t|Weakening blow}}, which is a severe punishment. Moreover, he will lowers 100% of your {{t|Dodge}} and remove all {{t|Poisonous}} should you have it. Considering that he actually has very few ways to lose piety with, it is easier to avoid than it seems. If you are left with no exploration or lower-level monsters, you can lock yourself into a downward spiral of piety loss which can be really hard to get out of. In the situation where this would cost you a win, the solutions are {{boon|Tribute}}, desecration of another altar, and {{boon|Consensus}}. Punished by Tikki Tooki will make every monster have {{t|First strike}}. This will be applied ON TOP of the slowed monsters, allowing them to strike first even though they are slowed.
-Desecrating TT's altar should be avoided unless really necessary, or in case you are a heavily focused spellcaster. Even then, it's preferable not to do it until you are well into a boss fight and are certain that you won't be relying on first strike (or even physical attacks) to finish the boss off. If you are certain that you will not have first strike, and we desperately need a quick piety, you can desecrate TT's altar because 1-2 weakening is often not very critical as a higher level character.

However, when you are very few hits from win and you are not going to use first strike against the last boss, a few weakening stack will not affect the number of hits left, so you may desecrate his altar to gain emergent piety to get a last minute spike boon from another diety.
 If you join the {{g|Glowing Guardian}} after picking up {{boon|Poison}}, Glowing Guardian will punish you every time you attack something that isn't undead. The only way to get rid of the poison is to desecrate Tikki's altar.

 Tikki Tooki gives {{piety|+5}} for killing monsters that are lower level than you. He awards successful dodges ({{piety|+3}}) and use of the {{s|WEYTWUT}} and {{s|WONAFYT}} glyphs ({{Piety|+1}}). He also awards you {{piety|+1}} every time you poison a monster for the first time. You can also gain piety from him by using {{boon|Tribute}}, which gives you {{piety|+10}} for {{gold|15}}.
-Tikki Tooki punishes you for getting damaged by monsters more than once, so you get {{piety|-3}} every time you get hit by a monster after the first. This dislike can be avoided even if you join him early, by fighting higher-level monsters with the help of damage-dealing glyphs and {{t|First strike}} or {{t|Slowed}}, or some magics. If you don't get damaged, the piety penalty not occur.

 He also dislikes using a {{t|Death Protection}}, which he punishes with {{piety|-10}}. He won't punish the act of acquiring a death protection, but he will punish using it up. This can lead to a rare situation where you get hit by a monster for the second time and expend a death protection, which causes you to lose {{piety|13}} "at once". {{t|Indulgence}}s works good to prevent the piety loss due to death protections.

-'''Preperation Panelty''' - His preparation penalty makes him punish you with {{piety|-3}} every time you get hit. His preparation penalty can be really difficult to get around, and is widely considered to be the most taxing one. It requires you to be even more careful about fighting tough opponents. Even with your {{s|GETINDARE}}, you should kill your enemy in one shot to avoid piety loss. Compare this with the fact that you are allowed for two shots without preperation penelty. First strike popcorns are not obvious, and you will be punished to kill them when you have less then {{piety|2}}. Still, some cray builds can afford this panelty. Plant-cleaning antics are still viable.

 ) Your damage is 0: This is the most difficult condition to achieve. If your base attack is 5, you must have less then -80% damage bonus to have 0 attack which is completely out of question. So you need to find a {{t|Weakening}} enemy. Your base damage can only be reduced to 1, but if you have negative damage bonus on top on 1 base damage, your attack power will be rounded down to 0. {{c|Monk}}, {{c|Assassin}} or {{c|Gorgon}} starts with negative attack bonus. {{i|Bloody Sigil}}, {{i|Mage Plate}} or desecrating {{g|Taurog}}'s altar also works. {{c|Rat Monarch}} cannot use this approach because corrosion damage is still applied on top of 0 attack.
-If all conditions are met, you can attack the target infinitely. 10% of the time you will dodge incoming attack for {{piety|+3}}. You can buy 4 levels of {{t|Learning}}, 9 levels of {{t|Poisonous}}, 10% permanent dodge chance, some Reflex and Quicksilver potions and plenty of gold. Then you can convert out, cure your {{t|Weakened}} by prepared {{i|Burn Salve}}, and enjoy. {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} enjoys successful dodge so you can also farm infinite piety under him.

 '''Popcorn Muncher''' - This build works best on {{c|Assassin}} and/or some other exp source such as {{r|Goblin}}, {{i|Amulet of Yendor}}. If the dungeon is too hard to kill a higher level enemy, you can only kill lower level enemies and take 2-3 shots of {{boon|Tikki's Edge}} as soon as possible. You can farm a lot of piety as all enemies will grant {{piety|5}}. But you should reach level 2 with some other method. Early finding of {{s|WONAFYT}} helps immensely.

 '''Early Worship''' - without forward planning, as a preparation for worshiping another deity later, it is straightforward. Join early, use Tribute, slow or poison monsters while you explore. Carefully kill a few higher-level monsters with heavily use of glyphs and potions, then clean up low-level monsters which you wouldn't want around later (or mop up as much as you want). Use the level-ups to help you kill even higher-level monsters by refilling your health and mana, and pick a good moment to convert out into another religion. It's moderately easy if you join TT at lvl 2, but doable even at lvl 1, especially with dedicated spellcasters.
-Early worship with intention of using TT to win requires some forward planning. Using {{s|WEYTWUT}}, {{s|WONAFYT}}, and {{s|APHEELSIK}} to gain piety while you explore is mandatory, and slow will prepare lvl 1 monsters to be harvested later for added benefits. Collecting the piety sparkles around other altars will also help, and investing some gold into Tribute will get you closer to your first boon. Preparing or finding items which provide you enough XP to level up at least once in order to "start" at lvl 2 is also an option ({{i|Fake Beard}}, {{i|Cracked Amulet of}}, {{i|Amulet of Yendor}}, even {{i|Poisoned Dagger}}). Using the Goblin conversion bonus for an early level up is a strong option as well. Playing a {{c|Fighter}} (easier to reach lvl 2) or an {{c|Assassin}} (starts with APHEELSIK) is beneficial to this approach, as is using dedicated spellcasters. {{c|Bloodmage}} in particular, with his innate benefits that come with killing low-level monsters and ways to turn his health into damage without being hit back makes for a strong early TT worshiper.

 If you are joining TT early, you will be looking to kill specific monsters before you convert to someone else, such as getting rid of magic users if you plan on joining Mystera or getting rid of undead if you're planning to join Dracul. If you intend to convert, slowing everything you can is fine, but if you plan on using TT's potions to kill the boss, slowing monsters with first strike is not the best move.
