the oracles in question are currently aliased as delve edge, delve shadow, and delve wits

as far as which emoji to use, i'm liking :regional_indicator_e: :regional_indicator_s: :regional_indicator_w:, respectively

the shared shape/color signals these reacts as both separate from the other emoji reacts, and as related to each other, which might make their purpose more discoverable w/o recourse to documentation.

the downside is that they probably wouldn't localize well (unless localization strings were added for emoji, assuming they're not already in the works).

that said, it's entirely possible that more symbolic emoji won't translate well either, as the nuances of some emoji can vary wildly from language to language. but that's probably a point in favour of localizable emoji than any recommendation against the symbolic approach.

  • edge - :runner:
  • shadow - :spy:
  • wits -:brain:

my concern would be that more concrete imagery creates a narrower notion of what those stats mean than something more abstract would, but admittedly, i may just be overthinking it. also, they might be trickier to 'read' at a glance than the initials above.
