[last flower]

Tank Build is something else!

[dawn lantern]

Tweaked Fetching Array + Tweaked Mel Skulls is FUN

[copper hatch]

gg

[fair mountain]

first try to beat Typhon and first try got the most Burn heavy build on the planet also bridal glow op

[half basalt]

My first sub-10 of the new patch we're so back

[vestal helm]

WHY CAN FIG LEAF STILL SCAM MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[sharp glacier]

2nd typhon clear with upgraded skull
Skull broken af now all i do is just spam left click and right click lmao istg you can special cancel with attack too but not rly sure

[vestal helm]

that moment when you realise you are entering final biome with no attack boon

[buoyant heart]

Thank you ody 😌😮‍💨

[lofty oriole]

Yay 20 Fear ||Typhon.|| with the new skulls 😄
Funny how his ||tail|| did more damage

[indigo mountain]

eminence is actually insanely goated against prometheus

[upbeat cairn]

holy hubris

[scarlet jungle]

Born gain priming

[ruby cove]

First surface victory (killed Typhon in my 2nd attempt, god bless Hermes' dodge chances)

[rocky star]

pan go brr

[plush tartan]

combo-chained over 15K splash damage on Typhon's last phase right before the victory screen. sadly wasn't recording to get the number in an image and didn't want to try to ctrl+prtscreen mid-fight, but it was fun watching it rack up. only real improvement would have been Ares legendary and Mutual Destruction but I didn't find enough Ares boons

also had Beach Ball and Killer Current because why not. and Divine Dash keeping me safe while I Exhaust Riser'd Typhon's face. Exhaust Riser/Stutter Step feels really hard to time right though, I'll say

edit: hah, just checked and somehow I only got 15% blood drop bonus in the Typhon fight, despite having six hits per dash strike, plus 25% double splash chance, plus 11% Extra Dose, plus Static Shock. either my Wound uptime was really bad (which would be on me), something isn't eligible to proc Profuse that I would think should be, there's an ICD, or I was somehow missing all the blood drops that spawned while dash striking back and forth

[slate adder]

could have made more op with a bit more rigging and a certain icarus boon, but im happy with this (DO NOT LOOK AT THE DAMAGE TAKEN)

i really should have put some poms on cut above. big blunder

[cold garden]

Thank you Selene for once more carrying my run through my rust and clumsiness.

[serene mortar]

Finally set aside enough time to get a first complete today.
This game really is its own flow-state

[scarlet belfry]

2nd typon kill immediately after first. Wanted to see if I could do it with axe. Turned out great.

[spice burrow]

VANQUISHED THE FATHER OF ALL MONSTERS! Build was so stacked but I truly feel like I needed both of these screens of boons to do this well.

[astral laurel]

I love the aspect of pan

[tough gale]

cast

[ruby cove]

Another W, again, absolutely carried by >60% dodge chance

[paper rivet]

That new Ares boon that restores health on hits when low was great in a pinch

[hidden eagle]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD

Had like 200+% move and attack speed
I couldnt properly dodge if I tried but like it did not matter

[velvet carbon]

open heart plus sunny dispo sounds really fun i wanna try it

[hidden eagle]

I've always loved Heartbreakers since I tend to run Apollo Aphro on Charon so I immediately noticed the combo and have been loving it

[velvet carbon]

yea charon loves getting blood drops too

[bitter vine]

accidently won with no arcanas, didnt expect this at all. Also Ares is insanely strong

[vestal helm]

Shadow Servants is deadly on the summit

[half patrol]

First win of the new patch, Stength card is still surely fair and balanced but 50% block chance was a super fun build

[random palm]

first run on the new patch, and it's a win

0 duos, but a few strong infusions

[ebon ibex]

typhon is too easy i beat him first try
pls buff him

[tropic leaf]

I will never have this good healing synergy again alas

[leaden pilot]

I've never had HP like this 🤣

[quasi kettle]

one of the dumbest runs i've ever had

[silk chasm]

first typhon win with high dmg and full tank build

[brisk mica]

first win!

[celest vigil]

This was nutty, Arc Flash is busted

[radiant coral]

mortal gain, the most "you'd think it'd be hot garbage but it's actually alright" boon of all time

[sturdy ridge]

First Try, but only because I was building for survivability so I could see all the new content

[coral matrix]

First Typhon win! Went nuts with the duos. Warm Breeze (hestia x apollo) is cracked with high dodge

[velvet carbon]

50 fear warsong, antler tart oh how i've missed you

[slate vault]

finally killed typhon

god I suck

[south monolith]

@slate matrix Medea for the Patch

[manic relic]

First time beating typhon, Circe staff is so fun now

[tired patio]

lot of blood with the flames

[raven cobalt]

Not new content, nor my best time, but that is my lowest damage taken lol

[forest sphinx]

nearly perfect Chronos, and also my first Judgement clear

[odd kraken]

DAMN that was a good build/so damn hard

[bronze sage]

tfw you get Red Citrine Divination from Circe but it hits Judgement so you end up with every single arcana active...

[forest sphinx]

nice

[odd kraken]

this is probably the most buffs I've ever had on my cast/omega cast at once, it was Ares Cast, with Blade Rift, Demeter Gust, Local Climate, Demeter/Apollo Gales, Apollo Magick Regen, and Moon Water summoning Omega Casts

[bronze sage]

the only annoying thing about doing this is that it eventually activates Death (death defiances) which deactivates Strength (bonus for having no death defy), AKA the best arcana in the game lol

[odd kraken]

Does Strength trigger when you run out of DDs, or is it only if you have absolutely none?

[bronze sage]

You mean Strength? Yes it retriggers once you run out of them

[odd kraken]

Oh, okay, so I haven't been using it wrong

[bronze sage]

yeah youre good lol

[tropic leaf]

This is how I finally got the arcana of ages achievement downstairs; had a similar thing where her keepsake activated Judment after Hecate.

[bronze sage]

Oh yeahhhh I forgot it can happen that way too. ngl I have like 200hrs and idk if Ive used that keepsake more than once lol

the balance is so weird bc 90% of inactive cards arent worth a keepsake slot most of the time but if it hits judgement its just crazy

[lofty oriole]

50 Fear new patch

Nothing too special this run 😵‍💫

[slate matrix]

[ionic swan]

any chance you can take a screenie on your PC

There we go

[half basalt]

32 Fear finally done with the Underground

Now for the surface

Poseidon and Hitch make a total joke out of Vow of Wards it's amazing

[lofty oriole]

Praise Moros 🙏

[hybrid ocean]

New boss cleared on first attempt

[bleak mesa]

Self Healing + Bounce Back made me fully heal after every chamber, and with moon water on top i tanked 1500 damage beating typhon first try 💀

[zinc jay]

took 44 nights, but first W! doing only the last hit of the attack combo + double hit for 20 mana had me demolishing basic enemies in 1-2 hits and chunking boss hp bars

[lone forge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858185424505536522/1342341580694097920/image.png?ex=67b94884&is=67b7f704&hm=318a452bc08d2d8b9b9050938619631af252d4424ebafe592f6c79c3e26eed6b& first time beating him

[south monolith]

lol already got a sub 5 for the update 😭

[tough gale]

all this hera and zeus didn't even show up again to get king ramson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwrwoE-4vlU dumb fight tho

[mellow spruce]

If you're using dds, bringing strenght is kinda of a waste, unless you absolutely don't need the point

[queen ridge]

2nd attempt 1st win vs Typhon, 50% crit chance with Herm’s Success Rate. The percentage are a bit wild. Had a -70% and -60% manna at the same time on a pitchblack stone run

[clever carbon]

This is so funny

[queen ridge]

Mirrored Thrasher + Cardio Gain + Extra dose + Success Rate + Huntress = every other hit deals x4 damage +50%

[queen ridge]

So it fires off Blitz when you use omega special?

[celest vigil]

Yup it's nutty, the rockets both proc and apply Blitz so every time you Omega Special you get a bunch of procs

[ionic swan]

55 Fear surface

[clever carbon]

Blitz go brrrrr

[slate adder]

i did kinda the same except with the flames

[slate vault]

skill issue overcome?

or did picking knucklebones the last two attempts really just make me win ig?

also the sea star says 35% but almost nothing seemed like it actually doubled relatively speaking

probably the lack of success rate speaking, but ugghh

[icy burrow]

hera,ares and aphrocarried me through the run

[shut plume]

First try typhoon

[light minnow]

Shredded Typhon in a couple minutes because i got a very good Beam tree that also had +150% power from my attack

[rich rapids]

noob friendly surface clear, on artemis knives, somehow got decent charged attack build, with prom flare and like 83% dodge

[gentle epoch]

That was hard x)

[sour plank]

Pretty decent Possessed Array build

[frosty timber]

First Typhon clear, absolutely melted everything the entire run

[molten needle]

Screenshots to show build on deck are hard, so excuse the quality. But this is probably one of the most fun builds i had in a while!

[wintry mauve]

new cast build unlocked fr

[vestal helm]

The Double Tongue attack is the bane of my existence

In other news, dont you love "MassiveSlamBlastCast"

[ionic swan]

what is MassiveSlamBlastCast

[vestal helm]

Who Knows, its either one of the duos, or deflected typhons chin? your guess as good as mine

[ionic swan]

You can deflect the chin slams ?

I haven't experimented much on surface runs, been prepping for the 55f clear the whole time

[vestal helm]

Timing is awkward as hell, but I do believe you can, or at least you can immune it with DD or mental block

[ionic swan]

I just dashed away every time, dude spammed it on me for some reason

[vestal helm]

The closer you are, the more he uses it I think.

bruh

[radiant coral]

for that damage number id put my money on it being seismic hammer lol

[vestal helm]

He's rocking out, we can't hear it but he's listening to heavy metal back there

[ionic swan]

Typhon fight with Antler is scary asf ngl

everything this dude has can just kill me in one hit for the most part

[visual grotto]

@slate matrix my first 50F of the patch

[south monolith]

Daring with an Axe clear I see

Ggs patch is lit

[visual grotto]

i like axe the most so yeah

[odd kraken]

really close to a flawless chronos

(before anyone asks, Sun Worshipper was from Echo)

[ionic swan]

Axe gaming

[tough gale]

I just dash through the chin slam ngl

[serene shore]

trying out glorious disaster with the new hermes boon

[thorn knot]

first time winning now . would do

[flat grail]

AAAAAAAAAAA beat typhon on my third try!!!

[tough gale]

sub 10 surface yay

[worldly sierra]

today i found out you can erupt your cast twice from aspect of charon in quick succession with giga cleaver

[runic spire]

i like hades more now

[summer harbor]

first typhon clear YIPPEEEEE

[vestal helm]

All testaments done

[lethal flicker]

Let's talk crits

[hot kite]

Go, my infinite crits

[eager hemlock]

aspect of momus might be a teeeensy bit overtuned guys

[stoic tendon]

first victory!! also my first underworld run with xinth 🙈

[visual grotto]

my first 32F surface on the patch

[lapis creek]

Bruh this run was absolutely bananas Thyphon had no idea what hit him

[rich gorge]

Sloppy run but got three trio duo boon against Typhon.

[shut pawn]

Yay my first Typhon kill

[eager pelican]

First 50 this patch. lol Preserved Hope/Charity Bottles still work through scars I'm pleased to report/abuse @slate matrix

(Fig leaf is a 3-biome scam good lord)

[olive flax]

typhon singlehandedly carrying the viability of knuckle bones

[paper mist]

no way wtf lmaooo

[balmy kraken]

The best use of Frenzy with Wolf Howl. Was a crazy run

[cobalt citrus]

Sea Star my beloved

[vestal helm]

It's also the change to fig so its no longer mandated in final biome, and most DDkeepsakes mean nothing thanks to strentgh, so it really is just the best option

[hot bone]

First run since the update and won 😭

[queen moat]

super nice cast build, got really lucky with what i got also got artemis and athenas cast damage boons, along side hades cast boon

also hermes 20% cast speed bonus helped my dps

[livid warren]

I JUST WANT TO THANK @velvet carbon FOR GIVING ME A VERY GREAT BUILD

[supple heart]

attack damage blew me away

[hot flame]

hehe

[fair scroll]

First surface clear- gosh I was not expecting to pull it off when screenshot 2 was the end of my tail fight

[austere lava]

arty daggers special build featuring hand of ares

[rich gorge]

Momus staff triple duo run.

[autumn basin]

got carried by athena giving me back all my death defiance (with the help of a reroll). But a win is a win I guess

[zinc fulcrum]

let out a genuine shriek when I got this through after reading my HP

[celest vigil]

Lol Arc Flash + Fine Line + Clean Candle

[idle cliff]

ez chronos

[lime flume]

That dmg was sick!

[inland vector]

Lemme show you my stabs :p

[stray barn]

Ares going pretty hard if you play him right...

[sonic wraith]

fastest Typhon Ive ever done, on 20 Fear since I'm getting used to new surface runs

[meager sky]

LOL

[viscid nexus]

"still getting used to surface", he says, causally using more heat than i ever have so far.

[sonic wraith]

Ive done 32 fear both ways before they added typhon, so yeah

[viscid nexus]

id been doing consistent 32/40 heat in H1, its gonna be a little but before i can hit that agin

[ionic swan]

Need tips on it ?

[ionic swan]

Lol

[river echo]

took a break and came back for the patch- baby's first typhon clear and im happy with it, messiness aside

[jade ridge]

Decided to do a no heat run to try out ares in some stranger builds - fun times were had

[stable river]

I had an interesting first Typhon build

[flat grail]

ares + hera 🔛🔝

[visual musk]

just beat Typhon on the 2nd try, on the verge of death the whole way up

[celest vigil]

The "click left button" build

[hard gulch]

Torches go brr, I turned Hades into a top-down shooter with blue and red pickups

[vivid fulcrum]

This was the tankiest build I've had so far. Brave face + tough gain really surprised me.

[shy canyon]

I love blood drops

[fading roost]

@ancient hemlock this is what led to my coinage

also one or two chaos from keepsake swapouts

ya or if i had your boon would have probably had thousands to end with

success rate though really bumped it up

[paper mist]

this was with just a common level 1 attack

[south monolith]

Omega attack Persephone 🔥

[long dust]

Not sure if this a world record for blood drop total, but it really makes the typhon fight crazy. Will probably try again in a future run with the blades to see if I can get 500%

[cold abyss]

https://tenor.com/view/heavy-weapons-guy-gif-15314420453351612161

[buoyant halo]

if only this is a Strength run, Weak + Strength DR would've been funny to see, perhaps could slot in Knuckle Bones too

[tribal trout]

I DID IT! (Typhon run 1st try)

[viscid hollow]

700hp 😭

[buoyant halo]

I was thinking to maybe facetank Typhon to see how long it's gonna take to kill me

[viscid hollow]

u took less than 60 damage

[buoyant halo]

94 apparently, idk why it shows that much despite me clearly going full HP on him

my 2nd clear and no hit on typhon c:

[buoyant halo]

Prom > Typhon fr

[wintry gulch]

My sniper rifle build

[foggy viper]

nahhh ares' boons combined with white antler is just straight up nasty

[buoyant halo]

TIL Medea is pretty broken

[keen furnace]

lmao that hammer sound is perfect. Duo Hestia with Hephaetus and Vent

[tough gale]

disgusting

[meager shore]

the fastest spawn of typhoon ive done

this run was so good , i did prometheus in 1 minute and typhon in 2 mins

[keen furnace]

Holy hammer damage. LMAO. Erasing the boss with hammer

[carmine canopy]

not bad clear time

[viral swan]

went for a mostly zeus build and then got the queens ransom so my hitch atk was level 33 (it was level 5 before the duo boon). basic atked chronos to death lol

[torpid canyon]

this just happened to me

[eager pelican]

Righteous Pike is ridiculous

Good run to get Rallying Cry online for once

[past flame]

@slate matrix new patch new 50F season?! 😋

Momus is op again

[eager pelican]

Nice! Any chance you have a recording? Omega-heavy high fear staff runs are relatively rare

[brittle kraken]

very silly scorch cast build lol

[past flame]

Sorry I don't! Did the run on the steam deck lol

Momus feels easier to 50F this patch to me, the omega charge slowdown being back in arcana is a massive buff, and the attack dmg boost helps too

[eager pelican]

No worries I just like seeing variety haha. I haven't taken the staffs out much yet

[past flame]

Main strategy for me is just charging omegas and dashing midway through with athenas dash for safety

[slate matrix]

sounds about right

[balmy kraken]

Highest max health run yet. But still could have done better. Higher rarity of course but also didn’t see a single fish to get that extra Water essence, and didn’t get Life affirmation until then end, and didn’t get traces of spirit from Medea. But still my new personal best!

[neat crystal]

I was able to delete chronos with this combo of duo boons

[wintry gulch]

I just hit Cronos for almost 6k dmg in 1 hit...

[lethal flicker]

I am the goddess of blood (and caffiene)

[fair pasture]

Sadly not against Typhon, but it was a hilarious run. Might have gone overboard with the attack...

[grim ridge]

I love this game so much
Now i need to beat it with a less broken build

[hidden prism]

beat 32 fear underworld already, just beat 32 fear surface for the first time, typhon is quite tough! was gonna post a picture of my completed run but i cant send it here

[ionic swan]

You just did though

[hidden prism]

no i beat surface on 32 fear first time, not first time ever doing 32 fear cause i did underworld right before

[ionic swan]

Isn't that your completed run already ?

The 32f surface win screen

[hidden prism]

i dont get what you're asking, are you saying i already completed this run a while ago and im showing the win stats at the crossroads?

[ionic swan]

I'm so confused rn

People call victory screens runs

[hidden prism]

yeah, cause it shows right after you complete a run

[ionic swan]

But you just said you couldn't send it...?

[hidden prism]

i only said that because you cant send attachments in h2-discussion, i didnt know this was the intended channel for showing your won runs

[ionic swan]

Oh you copy pasted the message

Alr that makes it clear

[livid warren]

A literal tank with time slowness

[charred portal]

victory!

[tough portal]

Love when Chronos cant touch you, but the gods? they're a little mean when you choose someone else P.S. Pan is kinda nutty

[vestal helm]

Topside is so much more inconsistent than bot it pains me. But a 32 anyway just to prove I am worthy of the statues of night,

[woven ridge]

This does so much dmg that I suffered less dmg from Chronos than the cluster of armored enemies in the way

[tiny pewter]

tried a judgement run for the first time and it ended up going really well

[ornate creek]

Starting to like Heph's gain boon ... also, Poseidon Legendary on Pan is bonkers.

[astral laurel]

Okay this was absurd

[neon mesa]

Not exactly about the victory in itself, but I managed to achieve a little objective of mine: activate all the Arcana Cards(no cheats) in one run just for the funsies. And I’m happy I managed only after this update where they got the pretty art(which I called way back when, I knew it was going to be this way and some didn’t believe me).

[stark dirge]

hermes blessed my run with 80% chance instant kill on hit the actual goat

[tough gale]

Success rate is multiplicative, not additive

And the boosted chance is already reflected on the boon (you went from 20% to 30%

[stark dirge]

Ah

[brittle kraken]

I basically just sat in front of Typhon and facetanked all of his attacks while spamming the Hell Splitter attack lmao

[tame trail]

this build felt a little busted

[vapid wind]

First run of the new update, just barely did it

[clear quarry]

Charon Axe and basically all the good cast stuff went hard, extra dam from icarus too

[eager pendant]

Omg, finally. Posejdon is kina ope with selene's boon for slow time. XD
I targeted for granny enhanced that you max received dmg is 20, but even without them is was awesome and smooth run.

[mild escarp]

First victory against Chronos (for this playthrough ofc) was accidental, while just trying to get the "Hecate without arcana" prophecy

[scenic tundra]

absolutely ridiculous build

[glossy rain]

Yeah 1st time I beat him '.'

[tough gale]

zeus where is my king's ramson

[celest vigil]

Wet dream dash-attack build?!

Every time I dash attacked, I got:

• Blitz, immediately procced by Romantic Spark
• A chain of Blades from Dash Rush, immediately falling and boosted by Coffin Nail
• 6 procs of chain lightning from Exhaust Riser, bouncing off myself with Master Conductor
• Probably a lot of dead things, and thus 1-2 Heartthrobs from picking up Blood Drops automatically with Sanguinary Savor, amping up my attack/movement speed

And a heroic Stutter Step reducing dash cooldown by 40% all tying it together

[limpid cipher]

love demeter and her frosty fitness also both her casts at the same time

[ivory moat]

holy i did ||typhon|| for the very first time

[ionic swan]

[bronze sage]

Not sure I've ever had this much attack speed before (thanks to Oops All Sixes Success Rate)... wish I knew how many blood drops I had in the end
https://medal.tv/games/hades-ii/clips/jKAmnblWjNWIGfDIg?invite=cr-MSxCaEQsMzY0OTE2NjYs

[strong lynx]

wild run. managed to phial a common Extended Family into being heroic for a net +30% damage bonus (with an extra 20% on top from uncommon grace re-proccing) from one keepsake. worth. that plus chain lightning and other buffs to my main attack meant my damage was insane. still almost died lol. typhon is tough.

[winter arrow]

attempted a judgement run

i normally use strength it was weird to not have it

[bronze lark]

This was a fun build

[stray barn]

You could say I... Blitzed through the underworld with this Torch build... hahaha... I'll see myself out.

[blissful magnet]

Didn't mean to spoiler but pan is broken

[regal forge]

Second attempt that made it to Typhon, holy hell
Interesting that Prometheus did more damage, but makes sense considering Typhon has a lot more than himself, I certainly took a lot more damage in that fight

[stable river]

Fun Surface Run

[spring fulcrum]

Really thought I screwed this build early by taking fine line (I got pigeonholed into it 😔) but stuck with it and it turned out not terrible? Anyways now ive cleared typhon with all weapons and its time to start turning up the fear ready to get pwned by +60% speed

[brittle kraken]

lol, lmao even

[strong lynx]

getting explosive intent almost screwed me, cause I only had glamour gain for mp regen and all my damage came from omega attack, but new hecate's wheel came in clutch and rescued my run from oblivion

[queen moat]

first 8 fear run went horribly wrong, took posideons keepsake for 2 biomes in a row and never got geyser sprout so had to pivot from a cast build into a attack build... Still a W tho

[gaunt venture]

first in perfect health clear

[ionic swan]

liking Medea?

[gaunt venture]

yeah its so fast

[ionic swan]

you got a good set of 4, too. Aphro-Zeus-Dem-Heph

try it in the surface as well

the new boss's face is a wall, so you can just spam the combo at 2x the speed

[vague lily]

WOAH i never thought about that, i almost beat him on my first run after the update but its so frustrating not being able to gauge how much damage you've done, however, this was my first run with aspect of Melinoe on the staff and holy crap it does way to much

[ionic swan]

nice. Give Blitz Special a shot btw, it's really good into an Omega Attack or Omega Cast build as well with Arc Flash

the new Staff special being a sniper shot makes it safer to tag enemies with

[lyric nacelle]

You can check the blood drop % bonus by hovering over any of the related boons (and then divide by the % per drop) 👍

[vague lily]

my dad sent me to bed :( but im running that right now and about to fight typhon, my build is crazy and I will follow this up with a screnshot of my victory

or my loss if i can't beat him

[ionic swan]

Staff right ?

[vague lily]

Yes

[ionic swan]

yeah, glad it worked then

[flat grail]

oh hey.. so this is crazy..

[trail comet]

👀

[slender sun]

I didn’t take a screenshot, but I just beat typhon on 16 fear without losing any death defiances in the fight

moros torches, heroic aphro attack, epic aphro special

[barren moon]

Spin to win

Second Clear in Tartarus

[balmy wagon]

I require an explanation

[visual grotto]

@slate matrix charon 50F UW

[compact lake]

first typhon clear with a rather op dodge build, literally lost net 17 hp throughout the entire fight. 164 damage from typhon total, healed the rest back lol.

[compact lake]

what the...

[keen furnace]

easy Blitz activation

[flat grail]

haha the core build basically is spamming zeus attack + blood fine line by stockpiling on magick and a heroic born gain

i also prioritized getting boons that give my omega attack dmg bonuses (arc flash, depth charge etc)

i also got a chaos boon that makes me use 60% less magick and i have that one boon/weapon upgrade that made me channel omega attacks faster

[hidden cedar]

oh, 840 damage typhon)

[ionic swan]

goddamn that's a ton of hp

[calm galleon]

@ionic swan didnt really try to go fast and just played casually like i usually do but i got nervous wreck in oceanus wich felt very good.. its still my favorite legendary and the easiest one to get for me even if i dont start with a god keepsake anymore

[full arch]

I DID IT AND WITH THE MOST BOTCHED BUILD RNG COULD GIVE ME

https://tenor.com/view/endormie-jump-in-bed-gif-10143214

[ionic swan]

still, almost hitless

[steep zephyr]

Typhon 16 fear Aspect of Melinoe (Xinth)
Arcana cards: Got Judgment after Eris. Got all cards
Overall: Maybe I had difficulty because of my fear build. AND THIS WAS ONLY FOR 16 FEAR. What fears do you get at high runs?

[safe scroll]

First half done, now the real pain begins

[dry island]

Funny op Zeus build. Literally one shots bosses

[austere lava]

surface 32f!

[safe scroll]

Finally

[merry sluice]

Judgement run is fun

would recommend

[half gate]

This was possible because I played using modded H2. Hehe

I was also playing with a DualShock 3 controller btw 😛

[clever carbon]

Possibly the easiest typhon fight I've had

[ionic swan]

Medea gaming

[clever carbon]

I just slid my thumb from square to triangle repeatedly

it was so funny

[ionic swan]

p much how that aspect goes, yeah.

[merry python]

tried medea for the first time after i heard good things, ended up barely missing sub-10, i am so washed

[ionic swan]

You liking it ?

[merry python]

feeling some shadows of momus cheese from way back

unreal how fast the build comes online

[ionic swan]

not quite at that level since thsi one needs a ton of movement, but yeah it's really good

[merry python]

if i didnt stop to collect every resource i probably could have hit sub 10

[feral root]

Surface 32F

Worry free actually helps me play better lol, I really don't have to think about my health

also auto watchers > Typhon lol

[celest vigil]

Can't die if you never get hit

[oak perch]

if you can fit ares into your next max health run, Mutual Destruction makes it crazy. i got dio's "lol cant see your health" on a recent run and ended up with a ~40% crit chance at 105/395 health

[balmy wagon]

Sounds absolutely nuts.

Will try this next run

[oblique agate]

First time seeing that surface final boss and clearing it this build was absolutely nuts

[cloud echo]

Such perfect boon rng

[thorny valve]

sub 12

[slate matrix]

how tf are you alive after taking over 1000 damage

do you have a vod?

nah its chill i trust you, just the damage spread looks so sus especially since you’re running strength

but if you haven veneer it looks fine

[rapid flame]

First clear. A butt clenching clear. That boss is a stright bullet hell

[modest reef]

Lmfao arc flash + triple helix + exceptional talent way more fun than romantic spark

[sonic wolf]

I gotta say, I am liking the Ares boons

[austere spruce]

First try Typhon kill. literally walked up thinking 'okay, lemme just see how this boss goes. i lowkey struggled against the tail for a few runs so i can imagine this dude is gonna be tougher'...then i got the Frosty Veneer

[cyan parcel]

16 fear run with a Just Trow Your HP against the Wall build. 700 hp with 6 death defiances jused, and strength arcana also active. Maybe I need to select easier fear modifiers

[torn crow]

just got my first win. My boons carried me pretty hard lol.

[strong lynx]

spin 2 win baby

[river echo]

i did not deserve this win but i got it

[dull raven]

Medea is starting to grow on me

Gotta love Knuckle Bones making it into top damage

[sour tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-rogers-captain-america-i-can-do-this-all-day-gif-5257480

[thorny valve]

first blades clear 🙏

[thorny valve]

halfway through clearing the surface with all weapons

[plush tartan]

Worry Free & Epic Uncanny Fortitude for the massive health pool, plus Epic Mutual Destruction to throw that health pool away for glory

[balmy kraken]

Didn’t get a screenshot. Clicked off by accident but I did 447,00 damage with Mel Skulls

[austere lava]

lmao

[brittle kraken]

need more attack speed, only got 238% this run

[lunar shell]

on my 2nd attempt beat chronos on 32 fear

[tough gale]

https://youtu.be/FMCMO-_KiBo get antler'd

[vague lily]

61% dodge chance

[rapid flame]

mcuh easier this time around

[tame trail]

idk if i will ever learn to like blades, this build felt like it took forever to come together. big up to the final warden room of the surface for giving me a selene hex instead of one of the gods whose duos i'd been fishing for since ephyra

[bronze sage]

but isnt the shown percentage just the odds of a blood drop dropping?

[tough gale]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1334748785791995997/1343380503763615766/20250223213407_1.jpg?ex=67bd1016&is=67bbbe96&hm=3b0f688058d91c50d67cce13692eae9be693de97236d1e5d417e520b82b2e3d1& bonk

[tough gale]

if you hover over the boon it'll open a tooltip explaining blood drops and current amount

[shut barn]

Massive damage, really fun build

[pastel jasper]

@slate matrix mel coat underworld 50. have been trying surface for the past couple of days to no avail so did this to feel better about myself.

[ionic swan]

50f surface is miserable tbf

[pastel jasper]

yeah idk how you managed it on 55 the dps check is insane

[ionic swan]

Epic Aphro Attack + Lethal Snare on Dashing Heave

idk I don't wanna do high fear runs up there anymore lol, I just do meme runs

[pastel jasper]

ill keep running it but if i do eventually get a clear im not going above 32 there again

[ionic swan]

I just focused on getting an afk Typhon kill

[scarlet prairie]

first try typhon ive never been more stressed in my life…

[clever carbon]

congrats Typhon is quite the storm to fight against

[scarlet prairie]

touche

[velvet carbon]

clockets

[smoky valley]

Gods, Athena and Ares were my MVP

[slate matrix]

47 fear boonless done :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[tough gale]

God damn

[stray steppe]

Getting Fine Line helped getting Phase Shift to activate almost instantaneously, you just sit and spam the cast while the Omega Specials just go BOOM

[vivid fulcrum]

I love finding these tanky builds. 20% dodge from Hermes, 6% from Gale, and 12% from hot pot. With 435 health, Athena dash and 15 moon waters. My dream ❤️

[slate matrix]

https://youtu.be/uAVC_2ZU5oE

[scenic heart]

So, Aspect of Eos Ygnium is pretty good!

[shy moat]

what a pain in the butt

[pseudo grail]

my second win this one was easy as hell

[keen swan]

I finally did it!

OMG this type of victory gets a special name

[twin python]

My second boon was an Epic tier Steady Growth from Demeter, then it upgraded itself, I've never had so many Heroic Boons in 1 run

[autumn depot]

First clear of the new final boss. I had 5 lives 10 moon water uses and 2 regen abilities which is how I took so much damage lol. Picked up Heph’s infusion right at the final shop and had tons of earth so it was +45% attack and speed on top of what I already had.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1238355347018743861/1343448556773838848/image.png?ex=67bd4f78&is=67bbfdf8&hm=8f25e1887e8336b8d37bf009a2743c7a117c493a284ec150e2540795c066028f&

[plush tartan]

Managed to get both legendaries and the duo

[proud fog]

don't think i've ever had such a huge lean in damage sources before!
also, what's Olympic Smash?

[winter siren]

forgot to get my end screen, but my second time at the summit went pretty fast :3

||Had 300% on blood orbs, idr the buff from phase shift oops||

[twin python]

Olympic Smash is the landing damage you make when using a trampoline on Olympus to change locations

[green night]

Beat Typhon on my first try!
Still haven't met Ares yet

[static moon]

10? poseidon boons to 8? ares+hera+demeter boons, legendary and ares duo still left waves a distant 3rd

[random palm]

definitely my most effective build to this point
i'm not good at typhon though XD

[gaunt venture]

good ol' pan gets it done

[timid dawn]

I love me some good omega cast builds. Didn't get quite what i wanted but Ares sure improved overall cast build viability.

[timid dawn]

112k on the wolf howl is crazy

[gaunt venture]

got a lot of selene that run and pan just spams omega special

[muted cove]

backshots build, just blow 2 omega attacks on someone for 2.5k damage

[steep zephyr]

Hestia-Demeter duo carried me at 20 Fear. But I can't tell if scorch works on Typhon as there's no indicator like it usually does. Still, I enjoyed this run.

[visual grotto]

@slate matrix 50F mel torch UW

[timid dawn]

Turns out splashes hurt. Arterial Spray is fantastic, 250k splash damage

[tacit pine]

I may have got a bit lucky with poseidon copy boon. Cast + resurrection build.

[ionic swan]

interesting theorycraft

normal run to go with it

[pseudo grail]

LETS GOOOOOO

[eager pelican]

Pan 50F. thinking I should have kept Origination my damage fell off hard @slate matrix

[dawn lantern]

Loving the reworked Skulls

[twin knoll]

i had to many boons

[timid dawn]

reworked aspect of persephone is also quite a lot of fun

[dawn lantern]

Yeah, I've always enjoyed Persephone but it feels like it plays a lot smoother now, love it with the new Messenger

[cobalt kernel]

Somehow managed to beat 32 Fear in the Underworld on my first try! Pretty proud of how far I've come since torturing myself to beat 32 Heat in Hades 1

[vagrant iris]

lmao

[vale pivot]

honestly mortal gain lowk goated

it shifted my focus from +magick to +hp after a certain point which i think in this case made it better than born gain

[visual grotto]

@slate matrix mel staff 50F UW

[floral charm]

my first no hit run. time to up the fear

[dry island]

How did I get +19 xd

[desert moon]

cling clang builds go hard

[high lance]

first time both beating and encountering typhoon. dodge chance my best friend dodge chance

[meager sky]

this was a fun one. no damage, though also no fear lol.

[lethal flicker]

Managed to get a 12x divine vengeance to actually trigger with this

[untold solar]

early steady growth leads to heroic success rate pressure points

[void swallow]

https://i.imgur.com/OkjlXhv.png
accidentally's myself into a Cast build with the Omega Attack-focused Knife aspect
actually worked pretty well since I could Parry, Omega Cast, and I got the Dark Side hex and I was invincible like half the time
oh, and I drew an Arcana from Circe for fun and I got Judgement (the one that gives you Arcana after you beat Guardians). lollll

[gusty jolt]

First Tried Typhon with stupid much resistance, revives and perma-dodge Hex. really satisfying

[terse narwhal]

First attempt, first win on typhon

[normal verge]

8:58

Black Coat ❤️

[vagrant onyx]

First clear, got really lucky with Circe giving me the card that activates other Arcana cards (I covered the bosses to avoid spoilers for friends I sent this to but you can guess who these are)

[golden cobalt]

1st time doing staff Ospesh spam, actually incredibly fun (also 420 nice)

[vocal cloak]

I think this might be the most damage taken in a hades 2 run

[tough gale]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1334746789882105900/1343750538575220776/20250224220445_1.jpg?ex=67be68b6&is=67bd1736&hm=c7091a732708b0c2c0eda62d22eae16a48a92b60487bde2dbb478d23b4a8120c& lol

[ornate chasm]

Typhon on first attempt! The run was insane. First I ran into the squirrel lady who gave me some boon that activated the hades arcana, which then proceeded to give huge value. Then I Ran into Athena who gave me aegis shield. Amazing! I love the little bit where once you pick it she goes "Ah, your brothers favorite!" I was like AHH! IVE BEEN CALLED OUT! lol

[vapid igloo]

YEEEES i beat typhon!!!

[austere carbon]

my first time beating typhon! now i have to see if i can beat him at 32f 😩

[vague lily]

I beat him the first time too lol

[velvet carbon]

clangclangclang

[sonic wolf]

really interesting and forgiving build. Tough gain reduced damage by 6 and gained back mana,then brave face resisted up to 50% 0f damage. Bounce back then restored 70% of damage after the match. 13 damage hits were only dealing 1 damage to me. then I had impervious for a nice 10 seconds of fighting to begin with.

throw in a high damage cast build and I could just drop a bomb on typhon's face and dodge to my hearts desire before dropping another.

[winter arrow]

typhon ! i feel like this is such a harder fight just from not seeing the health

[forest sphinx]

Omega Special Momus but every time I fire an omega special I launch half a dozen projectiles

[agile kayak]

finally

[winter arrow]

realized the reason i struggle so much with typhon is ive also never attempted him without fear

[forest sphinx]

lmao yeah that's definitely part of it for me, I haven't dropped below 16 fear in ages and I could probably breeze through the surface at this point if I just got rid of it

[winter arrow]

i always feel like a baby only on like ~8 and then i remember. wait this is easy otherwise

[forest sphinx]

I feel like I should note, because of how funny it is, that all of my Ares boons (cast, crit, and duo) were from Tartarus

[winter arrow]

i was doing my like second ever skull run full 7 fear lost to typhon a while back its comical at that point

[vague lily]

well if you like ares, heres ares, this is the second run in a row that ive beaten typhon, mind you its on 1 fear because i havn't claimed that level on the fists before but, i meeeeeean, this run was insane.

[forest sphinx]

niiiiice

surprised you didn't get disciple of ares or w/e the name is

[vague lily]

i think its because i took like 900 damage that run

[forest sphinx]

that would do it xD

[vague lily]

i had 300% boost to speed and attack speed

[forest sphinx]

BEAUTIFUL

[vague lily]

thats what im saying

I had 500 health too and the one where every life point that you're missing increases the chance of doing like super damage or smthn

[lean silo]

So glad mortal gain can't kill you

[slate matrix]

@south monolith @grizzled slate 50 FEAR BOONLESS DONE BOIS

[ionic swan]

disgusting

[vague lily]

green

[sonic wolf]

my funniest damage ratio ever

[slate matrix]

https://youtu.be/Rqu9bKvgj2I

[velvet carbon]

i like winner's circle it would seem

[past light]

My X button may have been over used during this run but thats one of the fastest runs i did up there!

[ebon mantle]

32 surface fear. Made my regular rooms hell to not put any fear on bosses because I can barely handle prometheus and typhon.

[coral matrix]

this was way too close. i started this battle at half health

[scenic heart]

Aspect of Eos go brrrr

[ionic swan]

Winner's Circle + Anvil Ring is really good ngl

[river echo]

slowly getting back into the swing of things. to 32 fear i go

[plush tartan]

✨ Shinies ✨

[summer harbor]

i think cast build on mel axe might be meta

[scenic heart]

Got a Typhon clear!

[thick totem]

Big thanks for a fella who helped me picking which fear aspect for my 32 fear run, finally got it after multiple attempts across few days (especially surface run) 🫡

[random palm]

Very Normal scorch build (haven't actually lost to typhon yet, my weak builds die partway through the summit)

[reef dirge]

new PB in the underworld and my second ever sub 10. it was also my first time carrying armor from arachne all the way from erebus to kronos. used silken sash in oceanus, droplet for fields and my first time using antler in tartarus

[strong lynx]

Most of my damage came from "ProjectileSuitCharged" lmao. I think that's the black coat omega attack? in any case had like 3 builds going at once here lmao

felt kinda dirty loading up this hard on boons... you can do some silly stuff with hermes shops. i think i'll turn debt on for the next run...

[gaunt venture]

he got absolutely bullied

[clever carbon]

BONK

[terse plinth]

You cannot imagine. Your imagination is not capable of picturing it.

[ionic swan]

I think I can. Did a similar thing on Axe and the damage is funny. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1241589849912246382/1343617275126747228/romansparkblitzmelaxe.mp4?ex=67bdec99&is=67bc9b19&hm=a339ab28dc8c1c8fc9761b415ac0ab9d0c7ed8ebc2846805b6d1ea9d3bf9db66&

[tame trail]

how do you get to that level in the boon without the random duo?

[ionic swan]

there's a King's Ransom icon there

seems like it deleted 4 Hera boons to give 16 levels

[terse plinth]

Yea I just got lucky to get a lot of hera boons befor eking;s ransom.

[tame trail]

oh i missed it! and you get to keep extended family??

[ionic swan]

can find another Hera after

[terse plinth]

Got lucky and found it after

[tame trail]

:0

[terse plinth]

You cannot imagine the DELETION that followed

Popped all typhon phases in 2 rotations

[ionic swan]

imagine if that Double Strike had Success Rate

[terse plinth]

Yea... I wish. but it's still the largest bonkage I've seen in the game. Wish I could see his health bar tho

[ionic swan]

yeah, fat damage. Were you not able to find more Ares ?

Grievous Blow works on Blitz, that would've been god tier

[terse plinth]

No everything was demeter hera zeus

[ionic swan]

happens lol

would've just been overkill damage anyway so it's not the worst

[terse plinth]

I wanna make a proper Queen's ransom run work but I haven't been able to. I got excited when I saw the new hera boons for it but it seems extended family and bridal glow can't get levels 😦. So the only options are fine line and maybe the cast? but that seems meh

[feral root]

Quadruple blast run

It was, pretty underwhelming lol. Much better to run 1 or 2 blast with 2 sec cd. I only got the special to 3s on Tartarus. Seismic hammer was kinda bad too

[terse plinth]

Blast runs require more % damage upgrades to be good

[feral root]

Yeah backstab blast is good too. It's not worth going the full 4 blast lol. Next time I do a meme Heph run probably will just take one blast and go for chain reaction + rude awakening with apollo hestia

[eager hemlock]

aspect of pan good

[stiff narwhal]

It's in PT-BR, but I got Apollo legendary + artemis crit chance on the specials and the new hammer of + 3 knives on the special and cause of it a no hit typhoon run, just got hit on the fight before with the tail lol

[errant osprey]

finally TwT

[past flame]

Pan 50F @slate matrix

[pseudo grail]

fastest time yet

[lethal flicker]

Just try and hurt me

[lofty oriole]

16F Surface with Nyx. Dashing is pretty nice 🏃🏻

[rugged wren]

feels good, man

[paper glacier]

I finally did it. I became unhittable. 94.5% dodge chance rising to 102.5% after Scorch is applied.

Circe refused to show up in Thessaly but I did it without her help anyway.

[random zinc]

Ares' legendary Boon turns the torches into an MG. With +400% attack speed, the torches fired so fast that the projectiles despawned before reaching their full distance. Ares' legendary is incredibly fun!

[wintry gulch]

FINALLY GOT THYPHON WITH THE COAT!!!

[midnight crystal]

heeheehee, Hestia go fwooooosh

(side note, Chronos did that thing where the boss has 0 hp left, yet they don't die and take no damage, and as my hp dropped to 2 I literally screamed out "DIIIIIEEEE" with a voice crack)

[barren charm]

I JUST BARELY SQUEAKED THIS ONE OUT 32 FEAR SURFACE

BLOOD SPREE AND TOUGH GAIN ARE REALLY GOOD

[velvet carbon]

huge

[barren charm]

I've literally been playing all day trying to get this clear because I KNEW it was doable, Hephaestus boons are really good with medea imo.
Attack/special + either the other one or another god's attack/special, tough gain and then i just went for healthy rebound/blood spree for safety

Surprised i cleared on this with only lvl 4 tough gain, I had level 11 earlier but got cucked out of it via forced train for fluid gain 😭

[velvet carbon]

bounce back is also really good

[barren charm]

Bounce Back + Healthy rebound means you'll never be less than full hp on the start of any room lmfao

[modest reef]

This got absurd. And I almost quit after no Zeus on Ephyra.

[graceful snow]

my first ever 16 heat run, I ended up with a pan aspect build so busted that I was able to two shot the second phase of chronos LOL

[noble ginkgo]

I finally beat the bastard at the top... Without equipping any death defiance

NOT AGAIN

[graceful snow]

just checked the recording, its hard to tell due to how many numbers were flashing at once but I was probably doing somewhere in the ballpark of 6,000 damage per omega special

[golden cobalt]

spin to win build with an overkill 57% dodge, 44% weak, frost queen, frosty veneer, trusty shield and 1 gale charge at typhon, ended up losing only 6 health

[velvet carbon]

rank six aspects are actually fun when you don’t have to take heph to get them

[open hollow]

ahem

erm

[rare vector]

first 32 fear surface run

[wanton nest]

that was close

[lofty oriole]

First 32 Fear Surface run too!

Dark Side was somehow the biggest lifesaver thanks to the invulnerability

[warm nymph]

#h2-builds-and-combat very proud of our death defying daughter of a build

[plucky kestrel]

@fiery halo from the run I just finished.

[coral matrix]

Gale helped a lot, but this is the first time i've taken so little damage

[unborn prairie]

quick silver and those damage suffered numbers. kinda beautiful

[plucky kestrel]

Hera can be a lot of fun

[mellow spruce]

All together is probably my fav boon in the game

[half basalt]

Probably wouldn't have done it without Circe removing Frenzy, but 19F on the surface is conquered

[tame trail]

16f typhon w/ skulls FINALLY sjdfksdjfljdsf no idea if explosive intent was working with possessed array or not, and PA is always a risky hammer, but the combo of life affirmation + circe's health boon + burnt offering feels seriously OP with the amount of both life and magick ashes give. it was so nice and obviously i needed all of it because i'm a lizard brained idiot who can't avoid damage

[cobalt kernel]

Finally found a skull build that I REALLY enjoyed using in a casual run. Got super lucky with the hammers but it just felt unstoppable.

[tame trail]

i'm beyond braindead tho, big idiot here

so it was still hard for me but i just think i don't really enjoy the playstyle of skulls and i get greedy? just kinda ready to get it over with haha

[slate matrix]

2:19 trial of haste clear

[mild dove]

yey

[rustic jacinth]

brave face + tough gain is an insane combo lol

i love stacking damage resistance i love taking 5 damage from every attack

[twilit elk]

whoa what was THAT new boss fight? xD I didnt even meet Ares yet, dunno if that makes it easier, glad I was incredibly stacked at least

[sharp yew]

righteous pike is probably getting nerfed

[woven storm]

My first Fear 16 Typhon.
Aphrodite is OP.

[upper osprey]

First Typhon... Apollo is so good.

[topaz mulch]

I call this the "I bought all of the Health Care" Build

[visual grotto]

@slate matrix mel coat 50F UW

[runic ferry]

nothing impressive, just happy to beat typhon with mel axe

blood drops reached 130%+ in the end lmao

[dusky cipher]

man i really want to be able to get this earlier more consistently.
righteous pike did 43k even though i only had it for the last surface biome. cant image how much it would do from zone 2 or 3

[barren charm]

2nd Surface 32 down, Fine line + Born gain are... quite good LOL
I also stopped getting the +50% from two active curses because aphrodite stole my hera attack boon 😭

[tame trail]

ooh i was gonna try my first 32f surface (with new boss), what vows did you take for this build?

[barren charm]

This is what i use 99% of the time

[past flame]

@slate matrix Circe 50F felt like easy mode instantly deleting everything on screen, petition to move this bad boy out of last place on the aspect tier list lol

[slate matrix]

i wish

[past flame]

with the new buffed staff omega attack damage its bonkers lol, only 1 out of my 4 hammers helped the omega attack and I didn't even get weed killer. With more optimal hammers/boons would be completely broken

[barren charm]

wheres the aspect tier list

[lofty oriole]

Underworld 50 Fear Moros…without a gain or cast. This was a horrible run lol 💀

[alpine cape]

Nothing special. Just interesting that I got two Athena boons in a single run due to a glitch.

[unborn swan]

oh wow! what was the glitch?

[unborn swan]

It was a super messy run, but the combination of Sweeping Ambush, Artemis' Crits, Ares' Crits plus my other damage bonuses meant that my omega attacks did 5004 damage

[marsh magnet]

228% attack speed from blood drops is disgustingly fast

[hearty owl]

Whoa, Hestia, Aphrodite and Zeus boons combo are so lit.

[reef dirge]

my first ever 32 fear underworld. maybe ill be good enough for 32 fear surface one day

[feral root]

Funny eos build with arc flash

Fully upgraded lunar ray shreds everything, Tail got 100 to 0-ish, it basically forces Typhon to keep changing phase. Lowkey think it might be better to skip auto aim to spam lunar ray more on bosses

[ocean dock]

First run with hades i know no darkness but still why is he so OP

[eager pelican]

lol joining the Clang Gang

[cobalt kernel]

Finally got 32 fear on the surface by doing normal busted Pan things. Almost got scammed by Hera in Thessaly (again) but she finally showed up in the last shop so I could grab Born Gain.

[sonic wolf]

I was trying to play around with Ares going towards chronos. Cardio Gain and Psychic Whirlwind chained into my omega attack really nicely. I was hoping to get some blood drops, but no such luck

[velvet carbon]

alright sgg calm down on the mel skulls buffs please :)

[raven harbor]

The difficulty spike from H1 final boss to H2 final boss is abismal. Nevertheless, extraordinary final boss fight, got me actually struggling throughout the whole climb to the top. gg.

[gentle socket]

Didn't think I'd get my first surface clear on this run, much less on 10 fear!

[merry torrent]

Ok so the new skull damage potential is absurd. Last phase of typhon took like 3 sec lol

might be a bit OP 😂

[eager pelican]

i probably needed more health

damage stats are weird Eos pulses must count as "Attack"

daybreaker was chonking for 3000 on the regular

[frail badger]

rode on typhons head to victory (not my best win ever but the accidental bug was amazing so i'll take it)

[gusty fjord]

Cheesed pre-nerf Typhon (this morning) with invulnerability hex with 90% uptime. Took a ton of damage figuring out that I could just constantly go immune after two quick attacks.

[keen badge]

First 20 fear surface completion was way too close for my liking...

[dry radish]

So anyways, I started blasting.

look at that damage LMFAO. Typhon took me less than a minute

[ornate creek]

Oooh, Ares/Zeus duo is so damn busted! Mel Axe+Ares is like Arthur+Aphro all over again ❤️

nerf this thing into the ground y'all

[alpine cape]

32 Fear Olympus Run Complete. Nailbiting round

[compact star]

in perfect health

[ivory moat]

best weapon of the patch

[scenic heart]

So uh... Machine Gun Skulls was not a build I was expecting going into this run... but boy did it absolutely melt everything!

[ivory moat]

it was one of my favorite weapons and its finally so good to use it!!

[swift shore]

adding up all the specials and chain lightning and explosive intent damage and it still did less than wolf howl. lmao. didn't even have the 2nd free hex

but yeah that was a terrifying final fight

experimental hammer gave me siege frame so my dash attack got worse for the summit but i still made it

[lofty oriole]

@slate matrix 50 Fear UW Mel Skulls! 💀

[random palm]

really really powerful build that didn't have the mana to maintain the broken dps into typhon's final phase

[queen moat]

Aspect of Eos double servant run, absolutely insane, right as I killed him he also did the head bonk attack, probably killed him right before i died, W Run, typhon as well

Also aspect of eos basically did nothing? I did most of my damage with the regular attack lol

took almost 1200 damage throughout the run as well

[eager pelican]

I think the Eos pulses are "Attack" for some reason

[stable river]

16 Fear in 16 minutes

[manic relic]

got ||typhon|| with fear 12! next step fear 16

[errant anvil]

what do we think, second dub different save file (first one was aspect of Medea)

[forest sphinx]

started up a second save file, this was run number 2 on it

[eager pelican]

Mel Skull 50F they broke this thing I like it @slate matrix

[slate matrix]

you're so right LMFAO

[sonic wolf]

I liked the trial so much I tried the Ares+Zeus build in a run. and 280% movement and strike speed for the typhon fight was wild.

its actually really funny because at this speed, dashing slows you down at first.

[cunning sigil]

second surface clear post warsong. i cant believe it... they made me willing to use the skull. thank you supergiant, i now want to use all of the weapons...

[slate matrix]

https://youtu.be/GxCZvc-EoUk

[steep bramble]

Mini-never getting boons

[queen moat]

op aspect of mel shell run, the damage per attack ramped up so much towards the end, also 11 fear witch is my highest

[glossy totem]

First Typhon clear

[fiery halo]

I never got the chance to play around with 20 damage cap and infinite healing from blood spree i was killing everything too fast...

[low aurora]

second time beating typhon both w lim and oros i love u twin blades

[paper mist]

for someone who hasnt done any surface speed practice and never really used mel skull that much, this is silly

[velvet carbon]

and this is where i'd put my success rate, if i had it

[scenic heart]

Sloppy run, may switch back to Melinoe Aspect...

[eager hemlock]

Hey, we see that we've given you a lot of great boons to make you shred everything with Momus. To apologize for this, we're also going to make you basically unkillable

[half basalt]

Got FTD while taking every detour in Tartarus

[half lintel]

after struggling and dying to the surface for a few runs, I had a giga high-roll run with a million good boons that felt like a free win
i'm not sure this was even a good learning experience, since I deleted a lot of rooms without learning their attack patterns

[glad bobcat]

Fun fact: If you are in the 3rd zone, and you have only picked up one hammer, you can use Artificer to turn a minor find into a Hammer

And then pick up a hammer, if it is in the same room

Got a little unlucky with Echo

Anyway, this is what peak axe build performance looks like

I straight up was erasing Chronos's phases.
I also had the time slow Hex. That one is OP if you can find and spend the mana for it.

[fiery halo]

The will of the night is done

[celest vigil]

This was the most stupid run I've ever had and I'm sad that I won't get to experience this again when Skulls clearly get nerfed

[junior hemlock]

Almost twinsies. Melinoe gatling gun Skulls is GREAT.

[queen moat]

Completly unkillable build, I just stood there and pressed my attack button until typhon died without dogeing, could have won on 32 fear probally. Strongest ive been for sure.

also had -50% damage cus of strength so also had basically 1k hp

[wanton nest]

trying to learn typhons moveset better before adding fear into the mix

SPEED

[lone trout]

First run since the latest update, did not expect it to go as smoothly as it did

[junior hill]

Just unlocked my first Nights Champion reward

[broken umbra]

my first typhon clear

[pastel jasper]

@slate matrix double hex gaming. it is a bug but was pretty cool nonetheless; still not sure how to control it. also probably the slowest run this patch?

[autumn marsh]

Congrats ! But how did you have all your magic primed like that?

[river echo]

couldve been worse

[broken umbra]

took vow of hubris that primes 3/6 per boon rarity above common, also other boons that prime since i wasn't gonna use omegas with that aspect

[cobalt kernel]

Learned the hard way that you can't ignore Chronos's one-shot moves with Strength like you can with death defiances. So I went right back down there to get revenge

[upper juniper]

This was my first ever run without any death defy or pin or whatever and I immediately beat typhon for the first time (low grasp cause I used Judgement)

[cyan walrus]

I LOVE ASPECT OF CHARON!!!!!!

[hidden dagger]

I finally did it and it was really close lmao

Got bored and saw how many duos I could get in a single run, the answer is 7

[acoustic citrus]

got 16 fear with arty daggers on surface
this one goes for the clang gang

[ionic swan]

Mel Skul 55fear

[glad bobcat]

I just managed a Fear 16 Knives surface run vs Typhon, In Perfect Health!

Granted, the maxed out Moon Water Hex with the "Undo damage from the last 2 seconds" bonus might have helped with that one.

[cosmic brook]

Definitely not overtuned

[slate matrix]

took damage, do better

[ionic swan]

surface 50 when

[slate matrix]

when they remove everything past ephyra

[ionic swan]

[eager pelican]

I was trying last night. Got to Eris a few times but played sloppy

[ionic swan]

I put in an input monitor this time around to see if people like seeing my movements

[karmic acorn]

Holy moly this was the most fun I ever had with the argent skull. (Especially after the buff)

[median blade]

guess what aspect is definitely getting nerfed next patch LMAO

[tough gale]

whatever

[paper mist]

my honest reaction

[blazing inlet]

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Heroic +11 Anvil Ring Epic Winners Circle, Cut Above, Coffin Nail, Rallying Cry, Heroic Extended Family scoring 7 Olympians, only way it could be more dramatic is if I got Easy Shot on top. Hilarious for what was supposed to be a casual nonsense brainless version of a Clang Gang run.

[ionic swan]

CLANG GANG

Clang clang

lmaooooooo

[timber jasper]

Bolstered array moment

It's surface yeah. What replies ?

Oh, they're my friends memeing

[ionic swan]

let's move to #h2-builds-and-combat rq

[radiant coral]

this was so ridiculous i giggled
mel skulls underworld 50f

[fleet burrow]

Did this run just because of my[ feedback](#h2-feedback message) about sunny disposition

having Heart Breaker just because i need it for sunny disposition doesnt feel right to me

[bright iron]

crystal figurine, my beloved

[mellow spruce]

So far prometheus hasn't shown up in the underworld

[barren charm]

thats why i was confused 😭

replies seemed genuine but they had to be trolling

[past flame]

@slate matrix Mel Skull 50F

[slate matrix]

is this pre or post patch

[paper mist]

pre, 7 skulls instead of 6

[past flame]

pre

do i have to re-rerun it lmao I already re ran it once because i forgot to screenshot

[slate matrix]

nah im just going to separate the mel skulls clears

[stable river]

Good run, but this duo is kinda disappointing

[fleet burrow]

Another hearttrobs build that doesnt utilize magick so Heart Breaker is just there for sunny disposition to appear

Also Prometheus is harder than Typhon change my mind

[subtle halo]

Many heroics.

Got Steady Growth very early and then it was my only common (picked up zeus special after) so I upgraded it with aromatic phial.

[cunning sigil]

love getting steady growth early on

[subtle halo]

I adore its new form.

[robust rune]

The skull is so insanely high dps with this setup it's crazy

Reminds me of that one broken adamant rail build that shoots five at once only this one is all seven shells together

[velvet carbon]

they nerfed it a few hours ago LMAO

[wanton nest]

jumping from 0 fear to 16 was a horrible idea

[robust rune]

damn rip

[primal peak]

Truly heinous duos

[ornate tusk]

I might be a Black Coat one-trick ngl. Can't beat 32 fear with any other weapon but the moment I put this thing on, it gets so much easier.

The Spawn of Typhon mini boss is so stupid too lol

[robust rune]

What's the fear build?

[robust rune]

thanks!

[fossil laurel]

Just needed a good Extended Family

[cyan valve]

this run was so cracked and also mortal gain is busted thank you for coming to my ted talk lmao (attached is a video of me beating the new surface boss with this completely stacked build only click if you are okay with spoilers ty <3) https://medal.tv/games/hades-ii/clips/jMG8YzQSKDYPxpdaG?invite=cr-MSxnbEEsNzgyNzc2NCw

[slate vault]

honestly if I did this yesterday w/ it still being 5/5 base and +20 part of me imagines I could do 55 heat with it

I couldn't, but it'd certainly be the closest I'd ever get

[silk escarp]

so if i understand dodge correct, when i hit someone with daze they have a 76.75% chance to miss. or am i just way wrong

[fossil laurel]

Daze means you get hit and don't take damage and dodge means you just don't get hit so the math isn't so simple iirc

[silk escarp]

whatever the math it was enough numbers that i could just trade punches with chronos

[tough gale]

rare non antler win

[plucky kestrel]

Romantic Spark does interesting things when you combine it with Xinth's ability to buffer 6 hits with a fully charged ospec

[candid pagoda]

lucky passed...

[silk escarp]

ok. i feel kinda bad about this one. genuinely braindead easy

[glad bobcat]

I got not one, not two, but three requests for a sacrifice from Aphrodite
Rerolling did nothing
Each screws me
I depend on the freeze cast
I got an Epic Hestia mana regain on hit
I want the Hestia Dash to no-sell Eris

How is this a victory?
I'm roleplaying someone who managed to get Aphrodite's personal attention, apparently

[jaunty mango]

What do I win for damage taken

[unborn prairie]

she is trying to start another trojan war

[twilit elk]

well that was certainly excessive, but I wanted to make sure xD not a fan of the blades but had to do it after all, and for a first run with Ares he should showed how useful he can be in violence indeed! if only i had got the -hp +dmg boon, whew, fight was even FAST

wow he certainly damaged me, Worry Free IS worry free huh

[scenic heart]

Charon Axe is very good.

[mellow quartz]

wanted to go for a big HP build with the aphro and dem duo, everything went my way EXCEPT actually getting the duo 😭

[robust rune]

are video links allowed here?

[ionic swan]

I post some here sometimes, so probs yeah

as long as they're runs

[robust rune]

gotcha, just want to share a chunky skull build

[ionic swan]

probs share that in the builds channel

[robust rune]

it's a chronos fight so I dunno it could be both

[ionic swan]

anything works probs yeah

personal best time on surface

[covert hull]

0 chronos dmg :D

[cold abyss]

220%

I spam m1 and m2 and it literally skips typhon phases 💀

btw I meant to tag the other blood drop boon instead of blood spree, don't worry about it

damn i'm so fast that dashing makes me slower 💀

[feral root]

Light smite saved my life and it is now forever my favorite Apollo boon. Also I just realized I used 35f accidentally lol

[fleet burrow]

This is so fun

Engagement ring oneshoting hordes of enemies is so cool

[cursive sigil]

This was a fun one to do, extended family + 3000 gold at the end, sad i didnt get the golden rule

[fleet burrow]

Extended Family is gonna be my favourite boon in the game

[cursive sigil]

Hades and Chaos work with extended family aswell, plus athena and dionysos

[fleet burrow]

Athena and Dio is obvious

but are u sure about Hades and Chaos?

[cursive sigil]

72% , which means 9 different boon givers (Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Ares, Hermes, Apollo, Hestia)

so the last two have to be Hades and Chaos

[fleet burrow]

Athena

[cursive sigil]

So i guess Hades is the last one

[fleet burrow]

Probably

@slate matrix 50F Thanatos

[plucky shell]

It's not victory boasting per se, only boasting. Who's the true Princess of the Underworld?! 😂 😈

[civic onyx]

my latest victory had a build that came together really nicely - started with common Poseidon special (Pan Knives), turned it Heroic with Hera's boon, then a few poms + Echo got it up to level 15, and I just ripped and tore. (not a particularly noteworthy victory otherwise, just playing on low Fear to try and get that prophecy of getting fighting a monster with each Fangs-granted skill)

[warm nymph]

just cleared typhon with apollo on eos, exceptional talent and slow cooker

turns out doubling your attacks also doubles your daybreakers

so they were dropping 1000s in mere seconds

the +20 magick cost was actually great since it allowed me to charge my fully upgrade lunar ray faster and get another autonomous source of ludicrous damage (and hestia made up the difference quick with cardio gain)

[lapis holly]

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINALLY

I AM SO BAD AT THIS GAME

the fact i tanked like 1k+ dmg tells you everything

@slate matrix Selene 50F

[winter arrow]

scorch typhon beat! nervous because i thought typhon wasn't affected by scorch from some innacurate reddit post but it was really good

[hallow barn]

do you take athena after hecate or after oceanus? i've almost invariably been taking her for fields but I haven't gone past 42 for my attempts

[past flame]

I guess it depends on the aspect but I honestly usually take athena as a starting keepsake, and then build the rest of the run around what gods I happen to get early on

[hallow barn]

Interesting...what happens with the onion? Does it still always go off in chamber 1? I guess now you can see hammers f1?

[lament plinth]

He ain’t got nothing on me

[past flame]

at least for 50F its powerful to have her dash early on for safety and to timesave because you can kind of power through everything. For lower fear it might not be as crucial

you still get onion'd in chamber one unless its a hammer or selene

and athena doesn't come in chamber 1, usually like 3

[hallow barn]

Yeah i'm strictly asking for 50F attempts. Ty for the responses

[ornate tusk]

King Tide has become one of my favorite boons ngl. It helps so much with using the attack w/ the Coat against bosses.

[eager pelican]

OK my concerns that Charon got nerfed a bit were unwarranted

[scenic heart]

Finally figured the Coat out.

[fleet burrow]

One of the best Zeus runs i had so far

https://youtu.be/lRiIFo7zCgA

[twin quail]

thought i'd just beat hecate with no arcana. turns out i beat chronos with no arcana lol. not max fear or nothin' but still feels good considering i did not expect to make it far

[cobalt kernel]

Not high fear or anything but I found the much maligned Aspect of Circe is actually pretty fun. Part of that may be because I got good hammers for the attack but it still surprised me

[tame trail]

first 32F on surface w/ the new boss and ever on skulls. they're kinda growing on me a little? also moon water just for the magick regen on this was lovely but i eat so much crap all the time the hp was def needed

[modest reef]

I don't play the staff enough and it feels super janky to me. This took like 5 tries. Thought power surge was going to be way more important!

[lament plinth]

torchs are my most constant weapon

[scenic heart]

Not pictured: The Hestia/Aphrodite Duo Boon.

[lapis holly]

how do you take so little damage i tank like 1k+ on my surface runs 😭

[fleet burrow]

Playing a lot

I just have lots of hours in rogue like games

Hades isnt exception

[lapis holly]

ah yeah fairs

[fleet burrow]

That run was busted tho

Just look at the clip

[lament plinth]

#BUFF TYPHON

[lapis holly]

yeah what the hell how do you have so much dmg and so much lv. on your boons??

[fleet burrow]

Zeus hera duo

All dmg comes just from this duo

[lapis holly]

Ohhhh

[fleet burrow]

I had like 4 perfect zeus boons for this duo

And also heph/zeus poseidon/zeus duos

[lapis holly]

that's an insane run congrats

[fleet burrow]

To honest i did reset for this

Praying bridal glow to hit zeus special at the start of a run

FIRST RUN WITH ARES, BEAT CHRONOS IN RECORD TIME (this mf needs a nerf)

[cunning sigil]

did a run with the bell for funny moments. actually kinda cracked?

got epic steady growth right away and it steamrolled. had like 70% boost from extended family, 37% crit chance, slip, just a ton of damage boosts and poseidon special spam on mel coat

[burnt wren]

"double your pom level"

[hushed shadow]

finally managed to make it up there and kick the big guy's butt with only 21 health left

[barren moon]

Anvil Ring + Winner's circle is good

[lethal flicker]

Not really a victory screen, but... what are the odds?

[south monolith]

Yeah Definitely viable @slate matrix
I obviously had like insane magick sustain here but I wasnt even close and I was also just holding down the button with no regard at all lol
Also had to hitless Chronos cuz I played tart like an idiot and no lovers go brrr 💀
Nice to see im not uber washed

Also Hellifish definitely needs tuning genuinely wtf is that miniboss

[brisk heath]

first win started 4 fear typhoon with aspect of medea skull with hephastus

[past flame]

@slate matrix 50F mel coat

[wintry gulch]

Did Typhon in 1 minute!

[vestal helm]

It Physically hurts my soul how free the underworld is compared to the surface

[dawn lantern]

Brave Face was doing a lot more damage mitigation work than I realized during the last fight

[visual grotto]

@slate matrix 50F than axe UW

[topaz arch]

In Perfect Health vs Typhon

[graceful snow]

just did my first 16f surface run, It was pretty close lmao

[tough gale]

[past dove]

Level 11 Flutter FLoruish is something else

[ripe seal]

32 Fear Underworld no Boatman no Origination, first one on the climb

[slate matrix]

whats the end goal?

[winter arrow]

realized i took insanely low amounts of damage this run

[slate matrix]

since you mentioned the climb

[ripe seal]

idk

[ripe seal]

35 Fear (including Onion now) with Excellence and Unseen taken over Boatman and Origination. Note that with Hecuba, Unseen, and a little help from Moon Water I can effectively start the run with a Gain Boon, which helps me focus the build onto damage

[sonic wolf]

still busted. got divine dash right before typhon with 60ish health and no DD left.

[sick olive]

really wanted to see Glorious Disaster with Hostile Environment. idk what i was expecting, my cast was almost over by the time i finished channeling. Meat Grinder > Prom Flare

[eager hemlock]

this build might have some of the highest dps ive ever had lmao. for group damage especially

[low wren]

Hephaestus feels so much better than he did at the release of the game for me, this was such a fun build

[sonic wolf]

idc what people say about the black coat. Heaven flourish + Arc flash means you can apply blitz MULTIPLE times in a omega special. Im just mad I didn't get romantic spark on this run. If i could have gotten the bounce hammer, this would have been insane. It MELTED Chronos

[queen moat]

cool circe staff win, insane attack speed, also had nimble limbs

first 16 fear surface run as well

[desert moon]

re-earned Night's Champion now that the surface is complete, nice

[oak ocean]

probably my best run yet and my first time beating ||typhon||. this combination absolutely melted him i didn't even have to doge because he died so fast. not only were the blades dash duos, there was the revenge duo going off. So much damage.

[snow lance]

Echo boost or what i call myself: "friendship power up"

[snow lance]

try with Skull/torch. It's funny like hell

[sonic wolf]

yup. heaven flourish + arc flash + black coat is absolutely filthy.

[unkempt obsidian]

Just Heroic Wave Flourish level 22 on Pan :3

[white nimbus]

I steamed chronos in his second phase with this build

[fleet burrow]

If this isnt a perfect run i dont know what is

[sonic wolf]

really bad typhon fight, but I swear this is the build

[unique vale]

oh yeah baby(also 288% from blood drops JESUS)

[lofty oriole]

@slate matrix 51 Fear UW Moros
