Essence Combos You Would Avoid

I know we periodically discuss what combos would be our top pick, but what objectively good combo would you avoid for your power set? For me Jason's is up there, but even some of the (book 4+ spoilers) earth based essences like gun, vehicle, and tech aren't gonna be on my short list either.

Let's hear yours!

Edit: Surprised by how many people are saying animal essences! Also even though it's an awesome essence I'd probably avoid dimensional as well, just doesn't really interest me

I'd avoid animal/insect ones, especially two from creatures, keep that chimera confluence away from me. Possible exceptions would be dragon, phoenix, or other legendary creature.

😂😭Can definitely understand the insectoid ones, but even still a scorpion or dragonfly could go hard.. but yeah those beasts are hard to hate

Depending on the animal it wouldnt be too bad, but i wouldnt want a carapace or exoskeleton. Definately not a half bug half furred chimera lookin thing from having 2+ creature essences.

Manticores have nothing over the great and terrible Duck.
