aye.
I had both of those hammers on my run
Furious rockets is... yeah. Needs some bonus damage somewhere
The BONK build is real
yeah...
bonk build...
lock on width would be pretty cool actually
is hell splitter like. the equivalent of whichever hammer made the sword just do a big chop
It's some nice qol stuff, and you can spam specials while punching more freely
World splitter, but hell splitter
(That's a yes)
Noticably different to use though
It was hilariously powerful though. 4x base damage
world splitter was meh
tho that's kinda anything that's not double edge so whatever
sword moment
i like how. idk a good word for it - tactile daggers feel? like, there's lots of input, lots of movement, it feels fast to play even if you don't technically kill anything faster
Problem? Nah. It died.
Love me some Hell Splitter shenanigans.
I dislike the skulls because of how much time youre spending not doing stuff
hell splitter fun for than's axe
i have played skulls apparently twice
i do not like skulls. well i mean i love skulls the bone, but not the weapon
The only skull one I like is Medea, reminds me of beowolf
I just had all pf the speed buffs on mel xinth of a 40% faster prom fight
I have a fondness for it on base axe, but mainly just because +attack damage makes big number go up.
Pass me more coffee, game go fast
dang
300 in 0.7x the time. Or 335, errrr?
Than is clearly better for bonking
yeah more power to 300 base dmg feels kinda less appealing lol
speeeeeeeed
Also I reiterate, nova strike on xinth is busted. 75% bigger attacks
does anyone have tips for making moros torches feel less like they're just about holding attack for 800 years
Yeah but I don't have any levels in the Aspect of Thanatos :<
Nothing wrong with bonk builds
bird is really fun with the axe btw. I had a run where I got an illegal amount of crits
Axe is only 20% bigger, blades and staff are 40%
Been too busy spending my Nightmares on Aspect of Selene for Xinth.
that's pretty much it
not sure how that will hold up at higher fear though
you can cast in the middle of your attacks ig
can someone send me an arcana page for wave strike xinth?
sigh
i'm gonna try a thaxe run. also try and level fig leaf/gorgon some
if fig leaf levels up mid-run do i get another free chamber?
I mean, I have an arcana page that's usable for Xinth, but it's not exactly tailored to a specific version of it.
I can throw it at you if you want, but it's a bit of a wacky setup afaik
go for it
I don't think so, it didn't in Haelians video earlier
I have nothing so anything is good, even as a base
send somewhere else (like a dm or private discord) then right click, copy link
or use imgur/similar sites
Ah. There we go.
@odd moat I DM'd it to you as well, but here's the build.
(Also if others want to scrutinize it now they can lol)
what's unseen doin there
As a First Boon would you guys take Volcanic Flourish or Fixed Gain {Hapthestus Special or Hapthestus -10% dmg}
neither
well the other choice is Stamp rush
what weapon is this actually
what is this arcana page
Fills out the line for the Rare Boon card and it's nice for times you wanna spam Xinth special or something.
Aspect of Artemis Silver Sisters Rank V
oh just take flourish then

might as well have a nuke button.
is there any weapon where hephestus attack/special really pops off
Look, I just wanna go Unga Bunga.
divinity is neat but excellence is overkill
Excellence isnt overkill its just ass 😭
Good boon rarities, damage for all the things, and enough HP and DR to get away with basically face-tanking the boss.
5 grasp for 50% more rare boons is so bad
idk it's felt alright to me.
most stuff doesn't even have decent rarity scaling
the kitchen's already burning
I could maybe swap out Exellence, but idk what I'd swap it to lol
don't worry it's scorch so we'll have plenty of time to evacuate
we got boatman vs origination, this guy bringing in the excellence from out of nowhere
Watch out watch out! Here comes excellence with the plastic chair!
wait he doesnt even have orig on
I am but a chef in the kitchen of deranged ideas.
remember when artificer cost 6
I've been rocking Poseidon Hestia duo on Mel coat. did i stumble upon the meta?
idk what mel coat meta is
It works with a lot
how do you actualy build nyx coat lioke actually
got erised with the bonk build :/
i think right click build might be the play
just get the card where you can sprint faster and get the mana regen card
and focus on getting boons for right click then just charge at a enemy and attack at a distance
i would send a picture but i dont have perms
you can send it to a private server then copy image link
This is super silly but I don’t understand how to use the nightspawn that’s generated by the black coat. Unsure what it means by splitting my attack and special in two
so basically when you charge into something after fully charging
try meleeing and right clicking you can see when you melee you hit twice and when you right click you can see you shoot 2 missles
what's your right click mapped to?
special
i cant lmfao that seems too confusing to me
i was forgetting to do whichever one wasn't on the mouse lmao
Thank you so much!!
And does that happen every time you do it over the 5 seconds
so when you successfully charge soemthing on the bottom left where you health is you can see a blue orb thats your timer
as long as you got mana you can spam it and yes that nightspawn thingy is consistent throughout the 5 seconds it active
question. i got lucky so i didnt get to test it. Can bridal glow be sold at a red well?
yeah
nice. thats honestly a pretty huge buff
pick it up in erebus at 50 fear when you only have like... 4 total boons? a reroll basicly gurentees you can get rid of it and just get to heroics
(by got lucky i mean hestia just deleted it for me, so i still got my heroics)
I feel like I shouldn't send my whole Run description here but what would you guys use as Olympus Keepsake {Havent Met either new person so neither keepsake there}
whats good on selene
Dark Side Full Moon, +40% dmg and +3% to dodge after use, +10 to guardians and +30% cast dmg, Her keepsake is tier 1
i mean build wise
I dont understand then, ask me the question like im braindead because apparently i am
whatboons on selene good
Oh like the names of them?
like what should i put on attack special ect
Ok I thought You meant something about my run,,,
i have no idea about your run i didnt look lol
just beat chronos with nyx aspect for the coat
special build is the play for nyx
i like building with smth % based on attack
Volcanic flourish is great on Coat. Get the cooldown reduced with some poms, pick up the Hammer that fires your Speciall 25% of the time automatically.
Then just throw whatever boon you want on the attack. Run into enemies, attack and throw out CLANG every 3 seconds
I gotta say, regardless of weapon, I’m in love with Hephaestus CLANG builds. It’s not necessarily meta but with poms and some support it pops off. It’s always so satisfying.
clang?
Volcanic Strike and Flourish
High cooldowns at first, but can be buffed to 2 seconds
They also got a brand new animation this patch
im stupid i was thinking of hestia boons lol
Even better with the Hestia Duo. It doubles your CLANGS if you use them right after they come off cooldown.
ive gotten heroic attack on argent skull to around 2 second cd so every shot can be clang
The best is getting it on Momus Staff. I’m pretty sure it can proc off of your turret.
Low cooldown Volcanic Strike is just dopamine injected into me
does it proc off the hammer that fires special?
Yes. For coat you mean? If you have Volcanic Flourish, then it will still proc cause it’s shooting your special
like always proc or only off cooldown
Always cooldown
k
I had a fun build with Knives and the Volcanic Special last patch. Was so sick. Jumping around attacking with attack then I’d flick out a knife into a group of enemies for a big CLANG.
It can help you punch through armor quickly.
I think I had Aphro cast for the pull in.
is a second god boon keepsake just useless on the surface
ive never seen it actually give something
ive taken the adamant shard up so many times and gotten nothing
heph isnt real
hestia attack volcanic speical apollo sprint posiedon cast seems like a good idea
I was a hater on the new Strength change
it does feel useless
I have now come around on the Strength Arcana. It’s actually a viable alternative to Eternity, and Dora’s keepsake actually becomes super invaluable for keeping health high
If you’re running the Aphro boon for the damage increase above 80% health it’s clutch too.
I didn’t even think of that. I almost rarely pick it because my health is always a mess, but now that I’m changing my load out…hmm…
@magic moss I am trying so very hard to actually use Omegas rn
why is the staffs damage so bad
I'm really trying man 😭
:)))))
the surface feels so bad to go through dawg im actually just suffering
Lol true
for me it's just the guys on olympus that give me trouble
the robots appear to be immune to the slow from cast circle
or I'll get one of those big shooty boys on a boat with no cover
selene xinth with a zues sprint build is so funny to me, im just zooming around at the speed of sound raining lightning and moon beams
What's a decent arcana load out for general play?
looks like im not a strenght player, i miss my DDs
first time prometheus is rough, good luck next runs
got stuck with hera boons and then never got a single zues boon past the city to even try for kings ransom which is why I kept grabbing hera boons lol, didnt go great lmao
i love strength
i was gonna post my build seeing what i should take but i cant post anything 
big fan of strength, its brought me close to the top of olympus again
send somewhere else (like a dm or private discord) then right click, copy link
or use imgur/similar sites
What's the build for Momus these days? Apollo on special and spam omega casts?
Or does Aphrodite work if you go point blank after setting up the projection?
so coming in for the new update, is it just me or is the new dagger special...slower?
Regular attack spam with the op hammers I think
So no omega casting at all?
Yeah, staff omegas kinda suck. They're usable if you really want to but it's extra investment for moves that both aren't very powerful and feel somewhat awkward to use
Bet
But if you actually like staff omegas, @magic moss is the biggest staff coper most experienced with the weapon. He coached me to my first 50f staff!
Do the other 2 Coat aspects pls
I def swapped and it feels better
I haven't been playing

healthy rebound with strength is insane
So, I'm trying to finish up my Testament runs (I'm down to my last), and I have to run 16 heat and win with Staff vs Prometheus, and I just don't play with the staff much. Can anyone give me some boon direction to help me out (post update). I have everything unlocked. I'm not the best player, but I've beat it on 32 heat. Basic boon builds advice?
XD
So I fully understand what interacts with Exhaust Riser or not - anything that says "Attack" only impacts regular punching, whereas anything that has "Attacks" impacts attack, dash-attack, and o-attack?
Honestly, you can win anything at 16-24 by just running Storm Ring and running around + building to maximize its damage. Try Storm Ring with Origination and look for Arctic Gale, then find put Blitz on your Attack or Special since it'll instapop anyway. If you have timer at 9/area it's kinda effortless
"attack" works on dash attack too but otherwise you are right
I think they changed something with dash attacks this patch actually 
Oh? Do things that give attack power no longer work with them?
Yeah, that's why I'm confused, it feels like a lot of attack stuff isn't applying to dash attacks
They dont all count for the "Attacks" boost boons and stuff now
Mel axe enjoyers in shambles 😭
Wait what
Yeah Marauder doesn't work on Dash Strike
No Marauder + Dashing Heave is tragic, would've slapped
Aspect of dashing heave did not need this 😭
That's such a strange change. Is it in the patch notes even? I'd f10 if this happened to me
Does dash strike even get the Mel aspect attack power?
It does ye
Oh so it's also inconsistent now. Might actually be a bug?
Some sword hammers also didn't work with dash strikes back in h1 so I can see them doing it on purpose
do i run judgement in overworld or underworld
Extra Dose doesn't seem to work on dash strike either? Or at least the "2x" symbol never appears for me
thinking Mel aspect might be the best one for black coat
the movement buff makes positioning a lot easier
and you're not locked out of better hexes like with selene
mel atk is prolly the best, S tier to me
weird take with Selene, Sky Fall is almost definitely the best hex in the game
is it
Yea skyfall owns
I feel like I have to do a lot of investment in moon rooms to get skyfall to where it's good
Use selene keepsake, helps a lot. The other hexes are also not that strong without upgrades anyway.
If you start Moon Beam it's good instantly, ngl it's kinda worth also because 7 of 8 gods are good on it
which god is the bad one?
Hestia kinda mid on it
Missiles dont deploy fast enough for scorch to stack, and you want % boosts on your attack since Shield Bash charged to full is heavy damage while Skyfall is pelting your target
With Pos you can get missiles, so he's the worst of the 7, aside from early Heph since you dont want his cores
Even then, Wave Flourish missiles aren't bad
Just that unlike all the others, Pos only has the one boon you actually care about
tbf I'd say heph is bad on it
like the only boons you want are boons you want regardless of aspect so 
Fair
I believe in Apollo Attack for shield bashing now
It covers a large portion of the screen so it's funny
Big bash
I could see heroic heph on the coat attack
I also just had a run where I got the cooldown to three seconds on the axe
I just found a bug for the blades combined with Apollos Legendary.
It doubles your omega attacks
If you cast the omega special it’ll double it, but then it also causes you to throw the omega attack AGAIN if you press special right afterwards.
So it banks up 1 addition omega attacks you can throw out for free after the first one. Haven’t checked if it’s the same with the attack.
That's kinda cool actually
aside from zeus flourish what are some good missile boons
Hera and Poseidon ig
Yea it’s dope. Not overpowered but cool nonetheless. I had Heras Special so it wasn’t super amazing but cool. I wonder how it’d react with Pan aspect though. I had Artemis going.
poseidon? i never got why uncle poz was a good boon for it but i’ll try it next run!
Speaking of Poseidon, do the extra attacks/rockets from aspect of nyx not get your attack and special boons? I was going to try a Poseidon rocket build but realized that the extra rockets weren't splashing
Unironically heph for some builds
Without a curse to apply the rockets are pretty whatever ngl and heph flourish was buffed last patch
But yeah otherwise I usually try to just go for a curse on them, preferably Demeter or Zeus
heph? really? i love the guy but it’s not really great with the booms being so lackluster! what changes happened with the flourish?
CD lowered
This was the patch before this one I believe
Rockets don't have good damage but they're extremely noncommittal, you can move while firing and the animation for shooting them takes almost no time at all, so something like blast you can just throw on an attack build and enjoy at least an extra 400 aoe damage every x seconds for free (as long as you remember to use it)
yeah I love heph boons for their ability to work well on pretty much any build as long as you have a spare move you arent using
Other than that, Zeus Poseidon and Demeter are what are usually going on the rockets for me
purely speculation but what do y'all think the weapon's hidden aspects are gonna be based off of?
i am partially expecting the staff to be based off sun wu kong and have a faster rate of normal attacks
Oh make it just be mirrored thrasher can be cool lol
Skull and coat can be anything tbh. Maybe Loki daggers? We haven't had a nordic aspect.
Some sun god or fire god for torches
If the skull hidden aspect isn't dusa or skelly I'm gonna be sad
Anyone have a fun build for the Medea skulls? Haven't found something that clicks so far
No idea for axe, maybe like an aztec god? Like make it that serrated blade thing they have
the hidden aspects are usually based off of myths outside of greece, so probably not, sorry
Aspect of chaac 🔥🔥
Or I'm sure there's some viking hero out there with an axe
i can see it turning into a macuahuitl
Morgana for the staff would be cool
probably making hexes and casts easier
Hidden aspects all gave a big change no? It can totally just change the whole moveset
yeah i kinda forgot that
It'd actually be super cool if it'd be Thor. Yeah, it's an axe but doesn't mean can't look like a hammer. Plus we already got scythe-axe
also charon's oar which is also a bludgeoning weapon
Mjolnir lorewise has to be short though
mjolnir daggers
Gods, imagine just throwing tiny hammers at your foes 😂
the special just has them explode into hammers
i kinda wish milenoe had a spear cuz hades 1 skipped out on cu chulainn's spear
Hidden axe aspect of perun (Slavic god of thunder who has an axe)
A spear would've been so cool. Even Dite and Thena have them.
Aspect of osiris?
actually i would like to see the torches go in a different direction than just fire, maybe be cheeky and have it be electricity and have lightbulbs on the end
Oh, I would absolutely DIE of happiness if we would get hidden aspect of Seth on the daggers
Aspect of Nikolai Tesla?
Isn't the weapon actually called flames of ygnium tho lol
electricity is for all intents and purposes modern fire
and the weapons can take forms they will have in the future
but the aspect of tesla seems unlikely
as funny as that would be
Now I need a meme fanart of those lol
she's just holding a flashlight
Flames of Muingy. Fires backwards
Ygnim is probably just gonna be some non-greek god/goddess related to fire probably
Revall will be Aspect of Indiana Jones
WAIT, the axe aspect of paul bunyan
Maybe sun instead of fire, just cause it would be hilarious to have apollo complain about it. But also hestia would be good too I guess. I just dont like that shes being portrayed as fire goddess
Oh gods, the arm aspect of bud Spencer lol
Blades could be so many different things
Please get rid of Anchors
Torches hidden aspect of Surya? Hindi god of the sun. Or Karna his demigod child
i mean the hearth while probably meant to signify the entire home does heavily imply fire
cuz like it's a fireplace
also pele might be a good fit for the torches
Cept shes not, she goddess of hearth and home. Apollo is the god of fire. She empodies what the hearth representsas a whole not just the fire burning in it
but apollo isn't a fire god, he's more so music and prophecy with the sun stuff coming later
also this aspect of the conversation can be moved somewhere else
Okay, redirecting the convo back to topic. Anyone has a fun build for Medea skulls or Momus wand?
Nothing like making one mistake and losing 87 HP
I just pull all of the % damage offensive boon on momus and just cycle through them
Freeze is nice to guarantee the following omega hits too
for momus i had the cross upgrade on the hammer and like apollo's attacks and it would just keep using the larger area of attack, it was nice
set up a special on the other side of the room and it would still hit everything
Casual zeus on special is nice too although might not be optimal lol
I did find the heph cast fun on Momus with the cont hammer onslaught, but haven't found any fun boon combos yet
also anyone who has the black coat, how does it play? i mistook the adamant for glass rock and wasted a run trying to get it
maybe to could try something with aphrodite's cast
I really like the coat, feels nice with everything
i feel like the coat's hidden aspect should have a nautical theme
maybe black beard? on account of the full salvo being a naval than and can correspond to the missiles
Blackbeard wielding a nocturnal arms might be a bit much lol. Especially since the coat is supposed to be the ultimate final resort and all
Maybe some technology or future related deity, something like the Maitreya from Buddhism? The coat being so futuristic and a buddhist deity might actually fit together lol.
i'm not familiar with buddhist deities so i'm just gonna trust you on that
Aspect of macross
Trying to 32 fear the surface is putting me down right now
Any tips for a good aspect / boons to look for?
Charon was able to do it on 50 with Lucid Gain and Origination
oh wow I am now a fig leaf believer for Tartarus
it can give you like 1-2+ minutes on timer
You haven't been burnt yet
I guess so, minimum I've gotten is 2 free
Rip a likely sub 11m 50F because fig leaf decided to never proc 
damn why would Dionysus do this
I still think Antler is likely to be better for tart sometimes.
If your timer is really bad a lot of the time it's because your damage is ass. Fig leaf skipping 3 rooms in Tart doesn't help if the other 2 rooms take 2 minutes each and Chronos takes 5
I guess but I'm not nearly good enough to rock Antler on high fear 
Can anybody explain what the Revaal aspect of Persephone is supposed to do? The description makes no sense to me and hitting skelly hasn't enlightened me
who can?
who;s crazy enough
to have 30 hp
When you deal damage with your cast it starts "charging up"
You can see the charge progress with the icon next to your health/magick
When you use O-Special, the charge makes it last longer up to a max of +2 seconds.
Your O-Special is also fully controllable
there definitely are people here good enough to do that
yeah
i'm far from that...
my maximum in hades 1 is 15 fear
before i stopped playing it
sorry heat
not fear
You can have armor on top of it
Persephone is Rally car mode
oh right
By "Armour" they mean "Trusty Shield", because that boon is, and always has been, so good, like SO GOOD
trusty, mint, stubborn def can all go a long way to making Antler much safer even on high fear
+10-20 free max HP and "Healing" each room, plus a damage cap when the armour breaks? Yes, please, give.
snow queen too
but yeah trusty is sooo good, especially back when vow of suffering was a thing lol
Snow queen isn't as good as shield, but hey, they stack just fine
yeah ofc SQ isn't as good
and it preserves effects that require you not to get hit at all
Trusty Shield is also how you try to keep your arachne dress
Because scarlet dress is lulzy good if you can keep it
at high fear I just stopped caring about Arachne effect and always went for highest possible armor LOL
WHAT'S THAT??????
Heph boon
Hephestus support boon
Every room you get refilled up to 10,15,20,25 armour (based on rarity), primes 20 magicka
(To a max of those values, not just added on)
basically you enter every room with at worst a one-shot protection, at best a massive longevity bonus
Mint Condition is also similarly strong, albeit a bit nerfed in the last update
because being able to start every room running face first at everything without a care really speeds up your room clear times
Anyone have a random "fun" build I can use
Feel like I'm hitting a plateau with the amount of fun I'm having. Roughly 60 nights and only 2 underground clears. Reached flying guy a couple of times though
Flying guy? Eris?
No final boss overground
Prometheus
Yeah Prometheus. He's getting easier but the run up to him is mad annoying
Flying guy 
Doesn't help I'm doing higher "heats" without much stability in my gameplay
OHHH this isnt a full build yet, but i was about to show off a new boon/hammer combo thats ridiculous
Upgrade your stuff, get like, Than axe with Nova strike
Got nervous wreck on my blades build last night and it was filthy
Other stuff is go full zeus and Hera, get one of their duos before seeing echo, then get echo to double one of the levels to nonsense values
ooh ooh, Go all-in on posideon and aphrodite, get thier duo with Glamour gain
with the sister blades [?], nova strike, and final slice. ridiculous range
Full screen weakness for free
I got this that run too. I had a time
i dont have the ability to send a video but i swear its ridiculous
Yeah
Hot Flash builds are kinda funny
run around tapping everyone with a lit match and run onto the next guy
I got the backshots damage build too. That was pretty good
backshots... /teasing
Which weapon
Which weapon?
any, but ideally something that can spray damage
Maybe I'll test with thanatos
Also any, tbh. depends on what boons you end up buffing
Than with Sworn Strike is generally just good.
Does Zeus legendary "shocking loss" work on bosses
Probably not
With mini boss yes
i use the axe with hell splitter for the first time. I saw that I could start the attack, then dash to finish the attack animation next to foes. However, sometimes it does not work like that and the attach animation is simply replaced by a simple dash. Some other times it works as intended. It often changes mid fight. I take vast amounts of damage due to that unpredictable behaviour. Has anyone seen that occuring and it there a way to fix it?
I noticed that the other day
It makes it significantly harder to use the axe since you are left so vulnerable all the time. Unless you get a couple good attack speed boons its often a major issue
It's about timing, you need to dash around when she has the axe held at its highest.
there's also the sweet spot where you dash cancel juuuust after the axe hits the ground to cut off the recovery
Sounds good. I think my main problem is that I was playing ay 7/area. I can't put out enough damage.
hey just curious, if i have no DD and i equip athena’s keepsake in tartarus, will she have a chance of spawning? or is it only limited to the overworld
she can spawn in tart afaik
okay bet imma gamble thank u 😚✌️
gl!
Keepsake lets her spawn anywhere yeah, minus fields cuz that place is wacky
hahahaha i got her at the end of the first chamber of tart thanks guys :3
How guarantee is Athenas keepsake to trigger if I have no death defiance left?
I thinks it's practically guaranteed just don't use it in fields
It's bugged? I used it in fields and it just didn't trigger at all.
same, might be
Apollo atk or aphro atk for selene coat?
Just saw the All Together boon, this seems.....a little busted lmao
it used to be even better
that used to be a lot easier to get, so idk
Water-based grit was kino
Though now i could just stack up even more hera boons instead ig
All together + Chant 
Anyone have a suggestion for what 12 fear to run on the surface? Need it for Dual Blades and Black Coat nightmares
start with “free” fear like the banish unpicked options fear, prime magic fear, and to a lesser extent 1 or 2 levels of timer if you’re comfortable with it (if you aren’t i recommend doing casual runs with vow of time to get used to the pressure), then pick whatever fear points look least annoying, just stay away from hordes. i recommend getting used to at least one level of frenzy, as it gives a lot of fear
i swear to god this game reads my mind whether im planning to focus on atk and special
and the first boon offering will always be the opposite of what i want
hammer offerings too omg
got heroic apollo atk, erebus hammer is all specials
tfw no world collider
Just finished an aspect of melinoe 12 fear run, Aphro on attack and dash, Zeus cast, Lightning lance, Static Shock, Demeter Gust, and couple of attack focused hammers. Prometheus went down in record time.
which weapon is this?
Daggers
You basically focus all you boons on your attack
It works really well against Prometheus since he stands still during a couple of his attacks
So you just go behind his back and burn him down
whats a good secondary god to apollo for selene coat
Zeus on special
Or hera
Stands still?? What enemy speed were you playing on?
during the expanding circle and flame wave attack windups
Prom has a window in the back to hit him
he's just stood there like an idiot, pummel him
He stands still during the expanding circle one?
get fine tuning
selene coat hex discount
😹
never got offered world collider, hammer trade before chronos took away reaper frame for even more special hammers 😂
Fun fact, the Death Arcana Card (15% crit chance on omega moves if different than the last one) counts the Black Coat (Nyx) Nightspawn dash as an Omega Move. An easy way to keep Crit chance up between omegas without needing to pause and use your attack, special or cast.
You nuke the whole screen it’s great
It’s guaranteed in most zones, including the house of hades, which is very funny to me. It’s a little weird on Mount Olympus, as she almost never shows up in the first few rooms
Ngl I miss fists from Hades 1
fists are staff
Sorry to one back here. But you mean 'spray damage' like hit multiple enemies? Or fast weapons?
Ngl haven't touched staff since my first few runs
multiple enemies
🤝
I’ve been using sister blades cause they remind me of fist a little
Or yea staff
How do y'all like the new familiars? I think they're really strong. Poor Toula hasn't seen action in so long lol
Aspect of Mel I'm assuming? I only ever really played staff when Momus was broken AF and haven't tried it since so not sure how it builds at all
Blades feel the most like fists to me yeah. Ironic since the coat actually punched but it plays pretty differently
tbh you just gonna spam attack so the 3 are the same. momus being a bit more usefull as you can do some omega attack in between. but the primary use is to get boons that prime all your mana so you basically wont have none just smashing attack button everywhere
afaik if you get apollo atk and zeus static shock you destroys everything
I actually like staff omega builds but they don't compare to some of the hammers the staff gets for huntress builds
Mirrored thrasher is very op
im a persephone/charon fan. staffs are in a bad spot imo, the worst aspect.
I mostly play blades/torches/axe/coat yeah. There's goofy stuff that you can do with the omega moves on low fear but I wouldn't try to do beyond 32 fear with any staff except maybe momus
i think its very safe to play manaless staff in high fear, but in the end you dont use the aspect just lurk hammers.
How many are there in total. I have bird frog cat
I have a soft spot for Mel staff on lower fear lol. The omega special can be very fun if all the pieces come together
dog
Missing dog
Ah
You can talk to the dog in Echo's chamber as of this update
its a worse persephone/charon but yeah its playable
g2g
Need to upgrade each familiar at leasg once, have used them to gather then get dialogue from hecate
Thanks. Wouldn't have figured this out
Been neglecting almost everyone lol
Also didn't know I could upgrade familiars
Yeah you need to give them treats
Is an incantation now ^
They all do good stuff when upgraded other than Toula
Toula who? 
The raven is probably the most generally applicable one. Free pressure points 🤤
I'm back to frinos myself, strength gaming
That darn bird just won't show up for me, seen it once and at least 10 runs since and not again
Just be luckier
I don't think you need Frinos to run strength but it really helps
Oh ik, I just mean I like effectively doubling their bonus lol
Or better if Circe wants to help
Circe so goated with frinos or raki, dunno what she does for dog
Kinda funny how much the meta has changed, from never take max health to taking every max HP increase you see lol
Ngl I don't remember the last time I took that option from circe but I probably should now
Hecuba upgrade probably gives more max magick if I had to guess
If we get Hecuba, it would make sense that we get Hecate's Polecat as well, yeah?
What do you think the most consistent weapon is for high fear runs?
Of course it's personal preference but I'm curious what people think
Charon feels like a super safe weapon overall
I dunno what resource a fifth familiar would even get
There's still the basic gathering, for flowers and driftwood and stuff
I guess?
If raki can be a glorified pickaxe then that last familiar can be a glorified hand
Makes them spawn more, and buffs your... evade stat or something idk
The weapon personally feels too heavy for me to use
I just personally hate playing slow but big hitting weapons
I much prefer low damage per hit but high dps and attack speed
Why I run Thanatos axe most often if I use axe
Feels lighter
Then Mel skull I suppose, or run moros for the insane damage
Skull is the other slow weapon
You can play pretty fast with skull
Than axe feels fast enough
I don't feel like skull is slow at all tbh
if you're using it as a melee weapon, but I personally hate waiting for the bounce on the skulls and using the wimpy special in the meantime
Skull feels very movement based
With how the special works
You just spam skull attacks and then chase after them with special
You are always moving
Mfw I die to eris because I didn’t smack her and force phase change during sniper shot instead of trying to dodge it (again)
At least I didn’t die trying and failing to strafe the shotgun phase by just eating it
NYX or Selene for black coat?
Selene but I'm heavily biased
Selene cuz is prettier
Moon related characters in media are always my absolute favorite
And then Hades 2 shows up with the literal moon
(I have made everything cosmetic in the game as moon related as I possibly can)
Axe go brrrrrrt
Wonder if it's possible to have a passive Prometheus fight by using Medea's curse that removes 15% per DD. I mean there's 5 at least you can stack (75%), so vengeance boons might get you the rest of the way. Maybe need to actually dodge the insta-kills though since Prom is un-damageable during them.
Also have to account for dmg being lost during phase transitions
Wait actually, does he cap his hp when he's about to start simon says
yes
current best build for charon? i tried the old apollo cast build and it was very underwhelming
try demeter or hera, you just need apollo lucid gain which is the best gain for charon.
never get the geyser and flare
gotcha ill give it a go
I’m a big fan of aphro attack and aphro cast
yep old Apollo (and Prominence Flare now) is pretty bad for Charon because you can't place a cast again while it's exploding
i just got the hera build up and running, this is just a damn nuke xD
yeah i found that out the hard way
honestly most casts work, I have a preference for Demeter just because the safety of freeze is nice (and keeps them in place to be exploded on)
will try it
if you don't need the defensive of freeze then Aphro is great for grouping too yeah
Storm Ring I imagine would be great for bossing and single target damage
Super Nova is nice to have too but not necessary
think theres also a bug rn with the siege shredder hammer on charon where it also works on ospecials and not just specials
zeus is a good shout, i could try apollo and zeus duo
the old Dem/Apollo duo was BROKEN for Charon
the one that increased omega cast damage per use but increased mana cost too
but that doesn't matter because you don't use mana to trigger omega cast
thats insane!
it could be another god combination and I'm just misremembering, but yeah that boon was really nice on Charon
my highest is about 40ish fear with medea, still didnt hit over 200k on the attack
def unintened
ah yes Torrential Downpour was the name and it was Dem/Apollo duo
their new duo is also pretty fun tho
tried it with a full cast momus build + local climate
i need the wiki, i never remember the names of the skills lmao
Post my patch 4 Than run
350k on attack is funny
I've never seen a number higher than that before
+225% attack on a rare boon from Hera/Zeus duo. About to see how much damage i I'll do vs Eris
the hammers>>
damn ive become 50F google
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1249502882819215453/1298333905962799114/image.png?ex=67192f2d&is=6717ddad&hm=7da7839193f06212cc41657ade722f03dc6a5729efc236a45eafbbd071523be0& 10 more clears til we are already at 100 total 50F clears already in patch 5, "meta" already shaping up exactly as expected lmfao
Familiar Spread
Is fixed gain okay in rift because you can control taking like 2 damage for it instead of e.g. 40? (Mostly came up in my eris fight rn where I realized “wait I’m not actually 100% out of mana w/o”… idk, proccing deaths defiance for it? ;p
Since she has a couple of oil slicks/explosive barrels on her arena
fixed gain is good in cases where you're going to be taking a lot of residual damage so yes, fixed gain on a mana dependent aspect is among the better ones in surface because theres fire everywhere
fixed gain in general isn't desireable because the condition is that you need to take damage, which isn't really good
Esp when you can go quite a few rooms or fights w/o taking damage, especially if you actually get consistent, yeah…
Can’t wait to get destroyed by 1frenzy promotheus again, lol
At least I’m aware he’ll mark me ig (said as someone whose first 3 encounters against him were all victories)
Suddenly running away feels a lot harder 😦
Do you just like, only damage him when he does the dumb AoE tracking circle thing that takes 4 seconds to go off (or whatever damage mana-less casts give you)?
his jumps are typically telegraphed in terms of attack patterns (ie. if hes doing his stomp move, then theres a short delay before he does his next move). If he jumps at you, you have to dash backwards since his feet have a hitbox for some god forsaken reason
Was about to build the most digusting Hera/Zeus duo build them I got cocky and got clapped by eris
you have to time your dash to invuln his landing
That's where I got cocky lol
Done it many times before, this run however got me 3 times
Didn’t really… necessarily plan on taking fig leaf? But I accidentally clicked off the keepsake screen in Olympus and it procced 3 times in a row (well 3/4 because interrupted by a mini-boss room), let’s gooo
I don’t think harvest will meaningfully affect anything because I’m next to the boss, but sure I’ll take it
Other options being “freeze = special” (already have freeze on attack” and “rare crop x 1” again p sure I’m on top of boss room lol
the dream would be skipping 3 oceanus roons lmao
Kind of surprised Raki doesn't have a higher use rate tbh
I think she's really strong
dont think enough people got it and is playing with it rn, also dog is "friendlier" too
Raki is really strong, but most of the time damage isn't really the issue with a lot of aspects so raki is a big overkill, you'd rather have the extra durability with frinos and the ability to block Hecate hex
I ALMOST GOT IT UGGGGHHHH
Raki is a lot easier to get than hecuba so I don't think that's it
I stalled until my timer reminded me I had 30 seconds to deal the last like 30% to f1 prom :(((
Doesn’t help I lost mortality early, ugh
Pretty much any 50f runner is gonna have all the new patch stuff maxed out I think
If you wanna talk about hard to get, level 5 Mel coat took me by far the longest to get and its the most used coat aspect
The fire attack where prom makes a small circle doesn’t deal damage coming out, right? Only if you go in or out of it w/o dashing past?
I’m not even sure if he summons it at the same time as trying to punch you… lol
Lol I just noticed 5 surface clears to 85 uw clears...not even the new toy syndrome can incentivize people to go 5 minute timer in the overworld
It feels good to realize that I can dump the fire lane attack in a corner since it lasts… until you force him to change shifts or he uses the same Attack again, right?
timer is like the least of surface concerns, the numbers on surface enemies are just overtuned as hell
so ig timer does play a part
I definitely find myself running out of time on the surface due to those overtuned enemies
That and the biomes are a lot longer
Btw I've noticed most people recommend kbm for this game. Is it worth relearning the game or is the difference not really that big? I've been using controller since Hades 1 and I fear the adjustment period
eh not really? controller has the advantage of omnidirectional movement while kbm has the advantage of mouse movement for more accurate control
Mynt does left joycon + mouse to get best of both worlds lmfao
I feel like Olympus has so many enemies
the waves never end 
any tips with aspect of moros? i cant seem to get the hang of the umbral flames since you bassicly need to place the baloons and afterwards use your special
where do i get hercuba and raki
omega special, spam attack, hang out so your omega special hits the enemies as it rotates
and then when the omega hits the attacks they explode
Mini bosses can be fig leafed? Damb
Assumed not since it just happened to the sea horse, lol
i like ur pfp
What boons should I get for aspect of than?
I've been told hera attack is goated
any % atk boon except demeter and you should be good to go
What should I get on the special?
doesnt really matter but if it shows up heph/zeus/demeter is a solid take
though youd really prefer demeter on the cast
tyy
So what are people finding is the best attack/special/cast combo for the new weapon Xinth? I personally think Poseidon on the attack, zues on the special and demeter on the cast is pretty sweet but curious about y'all.
thats a good combo
water punching is pretty fun.
idk anything specific but im a huge fan of just spamming zeus on it
It has an endless combo so the waves never stop rocking.
static shock blitz & double strike are so good
On even the attack or all 3?
atk or special
cast can be whatever but i like scorch cast for origination and big damage
oh hey: boatman or excellence
this is a joke right guys
...
no i am bad at games
boatman excellence sucks so so bad
okay what else should i use my 5 grasp for
whats ur arcana rn
turn off excellence for champions and furies
oh i’m stupid that doesn’t have excellence
champions is also on
wacky
artificer is filling out the column for divinity
sorgy i’m stupid
nah it's all good you didn't respond to my simple question by asking if it was a joke
i just don't think i can spend arcana anywhere other than either excellence or boatman without losing the queen or divinity. and i need to get that duo boon
i think you shouldn’t worry too much about keeping queen
duos are already fairly common without it
and it’s gonna be a lot easier to get duos with 10 rolls than it would be with 3 rolls and queen
so take fates and furies instead of boatman?
i’d drop orig but either technically works
or see if i can leave boatman to get the extra rolls from seer
i am also high fear pilled
i'm aiming for uh. aph gain + zeus attk so origination is like. Part Of It. i am not high fear pilled i haven't gone above 32
what fear is this?
oh this is rank 1 speed nowt else
on surface?
nah underworld
r u planning to not use magic
ah
no i thought i'd just leave integral cards to the weapon out actually
yah i'm basically only using it to procc parry
oh arty aspect into normals gotchu
ye
you should drop one of orig/boatman for furies & that other reroll card i dont know its name
i'm thinking boatman j bc if i get uhhh glamour gain + zeus attk then that's free orig babey
zeus attack with the crit aspect?
uhhh romantic spark
oh lmao
it would probably also work with mel blades but. i like being able to parry hecate's circle of flame and stay in close
it works best with mel torches if you care
but anyway yeah id go orig for romantic spark build
i've not tried mel torches properly yet
aspect of than feels horrible for surface runs for me so idk
its so funny with romantic spark you just press the ospecial button and run into everything and they evaporate
i HAVE won with moros torches twice. i've only played with them 8 times so
vs. 100+ daggers runs. wuh oh (yes i was a fists merciful end fan. how did you know
surface is very melee unfriendly, i try to get one of apollo attack/hera attack or cast/demeter cast to help
Origination is that easy to drop?
would this also work with moros torches. idk how upgraded i have mel
yes but 1 upgrade on mel torches makes it outclass moros in this specific role
yeah boatman is really good
if you arent playing 32+ fear origination and boatman have the same value, if anything i think origination > boatman for surface
Does Prometheus/eris feel harder than chronos to anyone? I know eris was “final boss for the moment” just a couple of weeks ago and now Prometheus will hold that mantle for like the next 5-7 months, but still?
a lot of ppl think prom > chronos yes
Like killing Washing! Cerberus was fairly brisk with +20% speed (ferocity1? Do people just call it mandatory overtime since that’s what the heat was called in h1?) compared to… mostly getting destroyed by prom ngl
Sometimes still die to eris but honestly it’s 100% a skill issue on my part
I don't think Eris is harder, she just punishes mistakes very heavily
i think prom is harder than chronos, but not an ultimate beast is just a new thing tbh. i believe mel will fight chronos another time later in the game
you think chronos is also fight #4 for overland route???
I have both on
I laugh any time I die tanking the shotgun because I completely mess up my strafe, lol
I don’t want to call eris easy by any means but it’s kinda funny how much more relaxed I am during the fight (usually) because I largely know what’s happening
Now idk if I should drop either for the other boon RARE card
Excellence
Excellence is a scam
💀 thank goodness I've had it off since
you get, like, 1 pom worth of value on a lot of your boons
for 5 grasp
if you take epic boons excellence is worthless
Better than common but I’d still rather just have duo/epic cards
And then almost never get duos because I barely know what half of them have as prerequisites, lol
Or it’s like “freeze effects trigger vent from Hephaestus, which is a minimum 2 boons from heph before you can even attempt to get this”
I use the wiki whenever I'm fishing for duos
What about special?
doesnt really matter at all
i mean if youre crazy and youre building than axe omega special apollo special is easily best in slot but i really suggest not doing that
should I take Zeus or Hera on the special cus I really cant decide
What are good weaps for surface then. That are more surface friendly. Cause Thanatos is also my bread and butter
thanatos is fine
honestly dont even bother they have better boons for you to take
I like zeus's prime 50
yeah yeah that ones really good use that
hey uh. hey. if you pick the wrong keepsake. can you do anything about that or do I just suffer
Suffer, unfortunately
Would it be broken to make anvil ring just be 3 blast effects? Keep the damage keep everything just make it blast so it can scale, i mean pretty much everyone elses cast scale with complementary boons so why not?
I think it would help it fit better with heph overall too
It’s unfortunate that prome and Eris are a harder than chronos, idk if they should buff him but they really should make him the hardest boss
knocked a minute off my time????/
Its not even close either is whats really sad
50f is so hard with fangs being in the game
I just lost my furthest attempt to giant hasted skulls in tartarus
its a trade off, you lose suffering but get fangs XD
Suffering sucked but it just meant you needed trusty shield every run lol
Certain combinations of affixes and enemies feel unbeatable
Pain
I should really try to get fig leaf before I do 50f runs actually
I still haven't seen dionysus once
This question is probably beaten to death but a quick search didn’t get me much results:
What’s your best Charon axe special? I usually go for Hera. Tried Aphro but I felt it defeated the purpose of being able to do it long distance
Any advices for 32 fear runs ?
hera and apollo for room clear, aphro for boss damage
Prio goes Hera = Apollo (or Hera > Apollo if you have blue shields on) > aphro
Ooh thank you! I considered Apollo too but since they have the same damage output I can’t pick him over Hera since her special gives Hitch which also triggers origination - does Apollo have any better use cases?
Apollo's bonus size means you're o-special can cover essentially the entire room for most room clears, so you can reliably hit almost every enemy at the same time. Without blue shields enabled and even at higher fears in certain cases apollo can be marginally better. Especially if you decide to run boatman over origination
Oh that sounds great especially since I’m doing surface runs now - thanks a lot Mininet xx
npnp
also if you really high roll it's a prereq for apollo legendary which is crazy with charon, but with vow of striking or denial you're not gonna get that lol
i dont think hes playing 50
Assuming everything else is the same, would you prefer boatman or origination
Depends, are you playing underworld or surface? What vows are you taking? What aspect are you using? What are you struggling with?
what fear level we talking
Starting 32s
oh boy. Excited to return
Eventually higher
Boatman is just more consistent
the Arcana Card change for no Time Slowdown is a bummer, most of all for Blades, but gonna be fun to check all the new god combos out
I heard something about origination being additive, I don’t know h2 dmg formula to know if it’s a big deal or not
pre onion i would say origination with how the "meta" is shaping up being curse focused with hera, dem, aphro, zeus, but the moment you turn on onion then its boatman
Ok so for 32 prob origination, I’ll give it a try. I was in boatman so far but I swim on moneys
Also I’ve been mostly using sister blades with héstia/demeter combo, and if possible Zeus/dem duo if it pops up. + heph support
Anything better or is that alright
I havent tried yet, i Just want some advices before trying surface and underworld. I play with 16F and is it ok go straight to 32 ?
I wanted to know what builds and vows were the best.
(I'm using selene's aspect for the coat)
I would say aim for clearing at 24 first, 16 to 32 is a pretty big jump in difficulty
Does the coat dash strike benefit from siege frame?
Anyone have some good builds for the skull?
good for beating chronos or good as in fun
rocket launcher mel skulls with apollo attack and his legendary
How do you play the coat 
like what builds and how to use them
this is coming from an apollo axe special spammer
now it got nerfed and i actually have to be good :(
heatia reflect range dash does not have a visual cue?
Aphrodite attack boon + hestia or demeter or zeus special/cast + daedalus hammer with +30% attack + origination arcana + dodge chance arcana and any dodge chance you can find
Is the special worst using the omega cast?
im gonna try it
i have not really seen it do much damage and leaves you vulnerable for a couple seconds
which special? for coat?
sorry, yes
I'd recommend casting before using special to lock down enemies so they cant hit you while you're locking on
but yeah in terms of survivability of special vs omega cast
omega cast > special because you can move while casting it
Im thinking if you get some debuff boons it might do ok just firing the quick shot then dash strike into corwds
but I dont see the Omega being super great right now
yeah like demeter's slow would be great
You can mash special during regular attacks
so whats the bigger theoretical dps between Siege Frame and Exhaust Riser?
And salvos are great for free safe damage
Managed to get exhaust riser ho do over 1k damage with dancing queen and flutter strike
Turns out the ol grape juice adds 100 power to every hit of your next move
Siege frame itself isn't big damage it's bug aoe and safe range
i cannot beat prom for the life of me lmfao
I dont quite understand the hype behind Aspect of Charon
It lost some of its safety now that it can't block but it still hits like a quick truck
elaborate, if you wouldnt mind
I did manage to scrape by and destroy Chronos on a 16 fear run, but I got lucky and got the Hestia and Demeter combo
Furies + night? (I think this one is the cast power one) + Charon's buff already has your cast doing 400 dmg from c1
so far ive been enjoying playing with Strength Arcane
From there you only need apollo's regen for infinite mana and focus on buffing your special
Ohhh I see now
Giga cleaver pretty good, can't go wrong with apollo/hera/aphro special
you ahve to be patient, acknowledge his patters instead of just punching him all over, its more a dodging fight than a damage
Please how do you dodge Prometheus attack that he leaves the arena and has columns flashing
Cause I swear I see the patterns with my two eyes ans still get hit
Daggers have become my clear favourite weapon
Number the safe zones and stand there
Are the safe zones the areas that flash red? Ice been standing on the non red parts and get hit
stand in the non red
My problem is I treat this game the same way I'll treat soulsbornes forgetting that the "run up" to bosses is significantly more challenging so it won't make sense to go gung-ho immediately I enter
Ngl it worked for all bosses but not for Prometheus of underground final boss guy
He first shows you the pattern what is save and what isnt
And then activates it to deal damage in that sequence
Its like simon says i think its called
What do you guys build for on Mel blades? Tried a couple builds but wondering what’s best
I think I'll just chuck it down to a minor memory issue on this. Because I assumed that's exactly what he was doing, I probably just forgot the patterns
Have you tried the Hera build? Or Aphrodite Zeus one with the duo
i normally run a different aspect but i'm a big fan of aphrodite zeus duo OR aphrodite hestia duo
I've pretty much zeroed in on the Artemis aspect
samesies
No, ive tried héstia + Demeter and Poseidon + Zeus
Haven’t messed with Hera much, why do you take from her, aside attack
hera special with flick knives hammer is so good
Blades are just so good anything works. Just finished an Apollo on attack build and shredded
They have nice dmg yea
like. this has special consistently in my top 3 damage doers without me even using my special that much
I usually go Hera on attack with blades
With what? It looks like her duo boon aren’t that amazing
One day I'll stop neglecting omega moves
Her legendary is amazing
fair, i'm normally going zeus attk + glamour gain to proc origination + romantic spark, but that's for speed rather than high heat
not heat. fear. whatevs
What's your high heat build
i've only won 32f once, it was burning desire + extra bits, sub 16
I'm still on fear 6 tbf
oh so true
i uh. well i have like 120 blades runs and then my next highest is 40. i'm currently failing miserably to get consistently sub 11 <3
I’m just starting 32s
nice
Picked up the game recently so I’m still learning what works and what doesn’t
burning desire is safer with blades because it doesn't require you to be constantly in melee the way romantic sparks does
also abuse the parry. it's great
yes
i know a lot of people enjoy pan as well, i need to try it again with faster omega speed from sorceress
artemis my bestie artemis
yall clearly new people here lmao
is there a problem with that??
no ur welcome, but its funny seeing the discussion
i mean i have also been playing since EA dropped i just... like blades
whats your wisdom oh great and terrible leader
just have fun
Yea I’ve said as much lol. Picked up the game last week
that's not wisdom i was already having fun
i'm always having fun it's part of my charm
what's your wisdom in the previous conversation, as someone who is evidently so burdened with experience to point out that we're all terribly new
i'm not actually annoyed i'm just a smidge wine drunk
srry i g2g maybe ill share some widsom later
I wish I had wine too
emailing you some wine
it's actually mead and it's not brilliant even though it cost me twelve entire euros
what are typically the best hammers for Xinth?
What playstyle
Exhaust Riser pretty neat tho
Shimmering is probs best overall
Melinoe I guess, so pretty much atk-spec spam right
I guess Shimmering is nice for widespread application of blitz
yeah exhaust is pretty great but my monkeybrain is making it too unsafe LOL
my wisdom is that. the. the. the umm
dgjshgdfjdshf so real
me when someone asks why i took a certain boon <3 well it was. uh. um. uhhhh yeah
have you heard of this funny boon called fixed gain its really good i promise
is that the hephaeustus one?
yes 
my wisdom is very simple. In order to win, you must not die. Thank you that will be $350
robs you cutely
i think you genuinely did provide me some good wisdom when i was first starting out and came here with no idea what i was doing 👍 emailing you $350 but they're hong kong dollars so it's only 45 USD. i did too much research for this joke <3
But the funny fire tornado
damn i dont want $45 emailed i want it shipped by pigeon in a parcel
is the pigeon also in the parcel. that seems like animal cruelty
what, you gonna call peta?
nah i was just imagining a pigeon shaped parcel
it's like 3am here. i will not be considering the implications of my words <3
So, what do people think of Tropical Cyclone (fromerly called Boreal Gust, Apollo/Dem duo)?
I don't see it talked about but I was trying to do the 16F Staff Prometheus testament and it carried me pretty hard (until I ran into the Dracon miniboss with Vow of Shadows)
Guys I'm gonna start giving out lessons to people. I charge $34,650/hour
Missed opportunity to charge $42,069 per hour.
if i argue in favour of bringing back suffering can i get a discount
is there anything yall can think of that have similar vibes/playstyle to the guan yu spin or ares blade rifts from hades 1? I really enjoyed those annd was wondering if there was anything similar but I couldnt think of one except MAYBE the advancing wwhirlwind and psychic whirl wind hammers together, but thats a little over niche
advancing got deleted anyways
3.50 no more
Tempting offer.
Deal!
I haven't played in a while and it seems they reworked a lot of cast boons, any tips for managing the changes with charon aspect?
5% discount
damn. i'll just get gud on my own then i can't afford it 😔
I can teach you guys if you want a troll to coach
wow do i have to find your bridge first
What would you take, Romantic spark vs Static Shock for a no damage control run? Xinth Mel 45F
Seriously I'm mostly happy to help people out if they want it. If I'm helping someone else play the game it means I don't need to play the game myself!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Idk Romantic is apparently really good but static is just always amazing
That's true really hard choice here lol, well since no barriers romantic might be the better choice
coach me to a 50 clear <3
which one is static shock again?
Chain lightning
strikes emit lightning
if you want whirlwinds of death, Tropical Cyclone from Apollo+Demeter
Blue hearts vow
Damage control is the h1 name
oh real
I hit a 7k crit on Cerb with romantic spark today lol
Fire
every day I come into the sgg server and ask what things are called <3 I wish I had an excuse like playing the game in a different language but I am in fact just not reading things
I love romantic spark my best friend romantic spark...
Ive got a lvl 16 heroic nova strike on a thanatos scythe run. its 265% dmg, was 8 then I got pom pom pom from echo
NICE
I got Furious Whirlwind and did an Omega meme build and it kept giving me skips
ive also got raki with me AND double strike AND an epic death warrant so im also doing a good amount of crits, at this point my wish list is just perfect image from apollo and shameless attitude from aphro
That was my pace for the sub 10 run I had. Slightly worse I think I was like 7:07 out of fields or smth.
Just don't get fig leaf scammed like I did ig
I will get scammed now gg
@past salmon shop just gave me 2 witch marks
I didn't realize if you rerolled it can be the same category
forgot static shock too, styx is gonna go great
shameless attitude + the boon that heals you if you're above whatever percent health is a fun combo
it is
ive got discordant bell on and have since erebus, but might have to switch off to call aphrp
Fire
I just got blessed by rapid slash too, this run is loving me
I love having conversations when the real high fear players are in here it's so fun i know nothing about hades 2 <- completely sincere about this
clapping and cheering for you. what weapon?
than axe
also got this setup backing it up
at 1622 and just about to fight cerbie
tempted to try my hand at a max gold run just to see what I get
have you got uh. God is it hera and pseudonym?
poseidon. I can't type. wait you obviously have him he's there
I do not have hera sadly
2 SECONDS OFF SUB 10 MINUTES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fumbled the bag even without fig leaf scam smh
owned smoked & rolled
good lord
I accidentally hit Phase Shift when he was doing a phase transition
😭
Combine with Weak, dodge boons, trusty shield and unironically Heph Magic regen which gives 10% damage reduction you can really become invincible
Unbind that crap
god a sub 10 minute run? thats insane
trying to go for one i mean
what's the 50f speed record
congrats on the sub 10!
I would of had it yesterday if fig leaf wasn't the stupidest thing ever 
OH GOD 50 FEAR TOO?
It's Mynt's run now.
CONGRATS MYNT!!!!
But mainly because speeds haven't really been happening this patch yet
bro I fumbled it
It would probably be 9:58 or something if I didn't hit Phase Shift
I expect a sub 9 or better to happen at some point if fig leaf doesn't get changes
bro I am aiming for sub 10 with just frenzy take the congratulations /this is lighthearted I understand the frustration
remember when u said u weren’t gonna do a run today
Yeah, I get that
I was gonna do one for fun
u said u wouldn’t like 3 times bro
for the speed run what level do you use the leaf on im curious? it could make styx hella quick, but also means your without keepsake for chronos
Tartarus, Antler in Fields
Mynt does this all the time.
I just go "okay sure bro" when Mynt says he isn't going to do something
Addiction goes hard
He told me he wasn’t doing a run for 48 hours ln, then he told me an hour ago it’s too late for him to do a run
Is this an intervention or smth
I keep mixing up styx and tartarous and have no idea why lmao
@past salmon I was gonna do an Omega Attack meme run with no Sorceress on, I should've turned it on AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
u should do this thing where u go to sleep
it'd probs be 9:20 or something if it was on goddamnnnnn
I should not have pressed Phase Shift lol
im curious if people have done no hit runs yet, and in the highly likely chance they have, whats their time?
maybe if u went to sleep on time you would’ve been awake enough to not hit phase rush when u did the run
12 regions in erebus ig
well i put it on after wood, and just beat cerbie
I can try doing one
if you took echo/the miniboss rooms that lowers your number of encounters too
Lemme do a no damage taken run in like 12 fear or something
antler run?
probs, I'll see
I heard Foolish can do hitless 55f with Medea
This should be quick still, though I'll run Apollo for safety
still only 12 encounter through 2 regions? dont each briar reward in the fields count as an encounter?
No hit run means I'm fine with running Snow Queen, Nitro Boost, etc and letting those eat the hits, yeah ?
Did enemies get harder? I get I may have leaned on slow time, but i feel like Im doing worst than I should. Was doing 16 chaos before and now can barely do 2 points in attack???
define no hit
