isnt bad news really good because of the bug\

native blade
#

How?

ionic minnow
#

i see

native blade
#

Eh, I have Privileged Status, i just need another cc boon.

brisk trail
#

someone tell me if twin shot is gonna work as good as hera as i think it

native blade
#

Is that another name for Rush Delivery? or is there a legendary that the wiki doesn't have.

brisk trail
#

considering all my other hammers are for special im still probably gonna take it

native blade
#

Ye, is there a problem?

ionic minnow
#

how can people say spear is 4th best weapon when spear has flurry jab

stygius wipes I'm afraid

native blade
#

Wait...

#

Are u dissing fists?

stone rune
#

yes

native blade
#

I got words for u

ionic minnow
#

Rerolling the boon 3 times wasting 6 dice and still not getting the stupid stupid duo I wanted

stone rune
#

indubitably garbo

ionic minnow
#

whyyyy i wanted the duo

native blade
#

Which are, that I'm doing good with them ok/

#

So there.

#

hmph

stone rune
#

we had this conversation yesterday

native blade
stone rune
#

cannot believe u would say this

native blade
#

*Arguably...

ionic minnow
native blade
#

Ion rly care tho, I'm vibin anyway.

#

Cap, literally never happened.

ionic minnow
#

could you maybe link a message from the conversation so I can read the facts and analysis on why I shouldnt ever reroll more than once

native blade
#

Trash luck, git gud

ionic minnow
#

oh

stone rune
#

it was about fists

ionic minnow
#

Then why shouldnt we reroll more than once

stone rune
#

because it gets wya too expensive

#

maaaaaybe roll twice

native blade
#

But honestly that's my feel with Fated Persuasion, specially with the increasing interest.

stone rune
#

but you're better off just hoping you get them again

#

generally

#

unless it's like styx

#

Styx go ham

#

roll four times who cares

ionic minnow
#

ok but if I want a duo and I use 6 dice to reroll 3 times am I the clown or is the RNG the clown

#

assuming I am 100% sure I meet the duo requirement

stone rune
#

you are the clown

#

that's 6 dice

ionic minnow
#

damn

stone rune
#

6 dice amounts to 6 single rerolls or 4 doubles

ionic minnow
#

pools only if UC right?

stone rune
#

enshrouded moment

#

20 heat lol

ionic minnow
#

low heat 😐 i dont ALWAYS push heat on runs

#

sometimes I just want darkness

stone rune
#

20 heat is fulfilled without needing uc

signal aspen
#

20 heat without uc is based

#

uc sucks

#

almost as much as cf

stone rune
#

I do hl1 em3 bp2 mm fo1 td2

brisk trail
#

is dio cast still good on hera

signal aspen
#

and extra casts

stone rune
#

or td3 if I'm using an aspect I'm fast wirh

signal aspen
#

my 16 pact is em4 ri3

ionic minnow
#

I guess yeah... I mean... I still want a cool duo... but yeah, it doesn't make the difference between winning or losing this run.. I guess..

stone rune

i just get the boons

I'm at 20 bro

native blade
stone rune
#

20 isn't particularly far

native blade
stone rune
#

real

#

32 is half 64 so clearly only half as hars

native blade
#

And so... I made it far,

#

Lol

brisk trail
#

Don't take EM4 until like 50 heat

native blade
#

It fun tho.

signal aspen
#

i take em4 at 9 heat

native blade
ionic minnow

I take em4 for speed runs

em4+fo2 = fun

I focus on Middle management and benefits package tho.

It's funny that after my worst deaths (high heat where I almost win) Meg comforts me with fun time
maybe there's intended correlation between these scenarios

high island

'Tis random. tizomg

tired karma

I was mad and then I wasn't
tricky game

native blade
#

It gave me a new Vic screen theme right when I had my em4 5 win streak

#

since you jump from 8 to 16 and then from 16 to 32 then logically you should jump to 64 after beating your first 32

Bro, God needs to check on Joel, he needs some help

Hey, were u in a stream a few minutes ago?

Mordent Doll?

No?

nope

idk who that is

native blade

alright, u just reminded me of someone.

#

But meh.

tired karma
#

since I speak the truth someone told it before

native blade
#

What's ur biggest gripe?

tired karma
#

the 1/10 writing

native blade
#

Lel

#

Watch Velma then tell me 1/10 writing

tired karma
#

velma is 0/10

brisk trail

and they actually greenlighted it for season 2

It's too good hate bait.

I thought nothing can beat she-hulk as the worst tv show but then they made velma

probably a lot of people watched it just to see how bad it is and wb is desperate for any traction and attention since they are in 50 bil debt

Quick question: Does anyone know the name of the accessory that Thanatos wears around his neck?
Thanks in advance

Just reset my mirror to get a vic screen theme lol.

last mauve

… should i ā€˜borrow’ from chiron…

#

Update: i didnt

native blade
#

Absolute Limit for an almost mirrorless run at 17 heat.

#

Yuhgy.

#

???

#

Indeed.

latent moon
#

does crystal beam have no drop animation

#

like as soon as you press cast, does it deploy

native blade
latent moon
#

or does zag do the funny thing

#

funny flippy thing he does whenever he does a standing cast

#

nvm zag does a throw animation

native blade
latent moon
#

it's like

#

soon after the time stamp

native blade
#

Indeed.

#

When I get Rush Kick, My Beloved:

#

Honestly might switch to persuasion for this.

#

Fix the lounge, u need gems.

#

Damn, then I guess it really is worthless, huh?/j

#

Sure, send a screenshot or vc.

#

It also might be as simple as u needing to go through a few runs to get it open.

#

kk.

rustic falcon
#

is the demeter boon rare crop worth to get?

#

it makes all my current boons become common but random 2 boons level up in rarity every 3 encounters

rustic falcon
#

random 2 boons

native blade
#

Yep.

rustic falcon
#

so i am asking if its worth to get it

#

i am in asphodel right now

native blade
rustic falcon
#

oh aight, thanks

last mauve
#

I played a run with 1 heat
I uh
Died to alecto lol

native blade
#

Lel

last mauve
#

(The heat was +20% enemy health)
Maybe i should do a different one

#

Meg did say she didnt want to fight with her sisters…

rustic vale
#

It only makes the random 2

rustic falcon
rustic vale
#

yeah

#

Big difference

rustic falcon
#

so then does it only upgrade those 2 every 3 encounters

rustic falcon
#

oh

#

wait so is there a way to see what boons i have equipped right now

rustic vale
#

Yes

rustic falcon
#

how?

rustic vale
#

Check your settings

#

for the button

#

I don’t know what you are playing on so the easiest way is just to find the button is in the control/keybinds

rustic falcon
#

oh i see it was B i kept pressing I thinking the boon info would show up but it didnt so i thought there wasnt one

rustic vale
#

it brings up like the full list of your boons, well items, hammers, heat and mirror options equiped

latent moon
#

you have to hover over the boons to see what they do

latent moon
#

also it should be 15% enemy hp

#

jury summons is 20% more enemies

rustic vale
#

It’s never free

latent moon
#

it's free if you're using beo šŸ’Ŗ

rustic vale
#

that’s because beo removes health bars from the equation

#

Bugowolf

latent moon
#

beowulf doesn't see health bars

rustic vale
#

Beowulf goes into the game files and disables them

light geyser
#

Am I going crazy or does putting on Bone Hourglass keepsake eliminate Charon wells from appearing in Styx??

latent moon
#

that's just you

#

but also wells in styx aren't that common to begin with

#

generally if you want to benefit from hourglass, you take it into elysium so you can buy from the well right before styx

light geyser
#

I was hoping to find Charon wells to buy things but there were 0 wells. I did all of the rooms in Styx and died to Hades from wasting time lol

latent moon
#

since your odds of getting a 2 sack is about 50%, it's generally worth it
also i think most well items would last for a 3 sack as well? not sure about that one

light geyser
#

I was leveling up the Hourglass so I kept it throughout the whole run

latent moon
#

oh fair

light geyser
#

Yea

latent moon
#

at least you got good progress for the levels i guess lmao

light geyser
#

But I always find at least 1 well, but I found none

rustic vale
#

Well

#

That’s rng

light geyser
#

That’s crazy lol

rustic vale
#

There isn’t a guarantee you see any wells

#

and I think the odds for wells and pools of purging in styx are altered

light geyser
#

Ok I’ll have to try another Styx run with it to be sure, I’m just flabbergasted lol

rustic vale
#

Wiki says it’s a reduced rate but not by how much
And wiki has been wrong before

light geyser
#

True

rustic vale
#

but I’d believe it

#

Since I’ve been going through all the tunnels for runs recently to maximise obol gain and I think that it rings true

fervent jewel
#

because i cant heat up anymore i gotta find a weapon i like to complete the game with

#

making steady advancements on the quests though and now i'm friend with eurydice

rustic vale
#

I get what you mean

fervent jewel
rustic vale
#

Just saying that 20 isn’t the max lol

fervent jewel
#

someone dared me to go to 32 heat on another server

latent moon
#

do it

fervent jewel
#

i intend to at least do EM4 because i will soon be playing p3p and

#

ok

rustic vale
#

p3p?

fervent jewel
#

persona 3 (i am unfortunately a weeb)

rustic vale
#

Also imagine using em4 for 32 heat

#

Not me literally noticing the typo, deleting the h only to hit h again then hit send

fervent jewel
#

hh

latent moon
#

32 heat honestly isn't that bad if you have a good pact and build

#

def a challenge for the first time, but most people tend to have a horrible pact which leads to a horrible build, which leads to frustration and 50+ tries lmao

latent moon
#

aren't there some decent non-lc4 pacts

#

like lc2 is an option

fervent jewel
#

going zeus with chiron worked out for me before i might try that :o
I feel like I'm generally good enough that I can reach hades with all my lives pretty consistently and not lose one fighting him so at least i consideer myself ready enough.... maybe 😳

latent moon
#

zeus has internal cooldowns so you only get like 1-2 bolts per special

#

on chiron

#

also depending on your pact, you might not use DDs lol

fervent jewel
#

idk i feel like i'm spamming thunders often but maybe i just don't notice

solar vault
#

My first 32 heat pact involved CP and JS and was like totally awful lol

rustic vale
latent moon
light geyser
#

I just beat 32 a few days ago after weeks of trying zagpls

latent moon
#

but also it is a known mechanic that you only get 1-2 bolts per chiron volley

rustic vale
#

Matty was so based ngl

fervent jewel
#

i now but i guess idk i had fun doing that and i worked out for m

latent moon
#

lmfao based matty

rustic vale
#

Jumping from 8 -> 32 heat in a matter of like 2 days with no heat inbetween

latent moon
#

but also you probably did low heat so anything could go

latent moon
#

after cleaning up his 32 pact

fervent jewel
#

my max with chiron was 20

latent moon
#

if you did 32 with chiron with a good pact and build, you'll probably be fine

rustic vale
#

Then just dipped from Hades

fervent jewel
#

i'll report on my folly and success/failure ten šŸ˜›

latent moon
#

the fact that thunder flourish worked is probably some testament to skill lol

latent moon
fervent jewel
#

no its fine thank u but i'd like to smash my head against that particular wall

latent moon
#

fair enough

fervent jewel
#

if i get my ass kicked tho you might see me running for advice

#

better win then seethe....

latent moon
#

lmao have fun

rustic falcon
#

which mirror power do you guys use more for revives stubborn defiance, or death defiance?

latent moon
#

depends

#

if im doing lc4 for high heat, SD

#

otherwise, DD

rustic falcon
#

what is lc4

latent moon
#

lasting consequences 4

rustic falcon
#

i still have no idea, i am probably not that far ahead and discovered that ig

latent moon
#

ah

#

have you cleared a run yet

rustic falcon
#

sadly no, i was close once i had some really good boon combo but the poison from the rats at the end made me loose too much hp so hades fight was hard to do and i died in the end

#

also dark foresight or olympian favor

latent moon
#

rip it do be like that

#

dark foresight is always better

#

so you dont get any more spoilers lol

fervent jewel
#

me in elysium "man those guys are meanies weenies he styx will be easier tho"

#

me in the styx "NOOO I STEPPED INTO THE GIANT RAT POISON"

latent moon
#

styx is generally easier with a good build lol

fervent jewel
#

i feel it's the john wick map

solar vault
#

styx is either a breeze or utter suffering

latent moon
#

the thing is with styx is that you actually have to clear it fast otherwise poison builds up

rustic falcon
#

i dont get how chthonic vitality works it only restores 3 at max how is that any good

latent moon
#

with ely enemies, you can actually take your time because they're generally big rooms

latent moon
#

and works in styx

rustic falcon
#

but wouldnt the other one, dark regeneration be better? it can heal a lot more if you find the dark things

latent moon
#

unless you're getting eclipse boons from chaos, chthonic vitality heals more throughout the whole run iirc

rustic vale
latent moon
#

this is like

fervent jewel
#

nah yeah the rats's poison is never a problem

rustic falcon
#

but how would 3 hp healed help

fervent jewel
#

the satyrs are annoying

rustic vale
#

plus dark regen isn’t going to heal you every time

fervent jewel
#

idk why but whenever i go to visit chaos without their keepsake i'm glad to see that slight +3 right before it cut to black lol

rustic falcon
latent moon
#

dark foresight is good because you get more boons, poms, coins, etc so you can win runs with better odds
you see less darkness and other meta game currencies because of this
dark regen doesnt work as well because dark foresight actively works against it

fervent jewel
#

like yeah i took 22 dmg...

rustic vale
fervent jewel
#

but i regenerated 3 and will regenerate THREE MORE hehe

latent moon
latent moon
rustic falcon
latent moon
#

yes

rustic falcon
#

oh i didnt know that

#

so use chthonic vitality over dark regen?

rustic vale
#

100%

latent moon
#

you just see less darkness (except after bosses, that's guaranteed) and darkness doesn't help you win runs while you're in it

rustic vale
#

Even if you’re darkness farming tbh

latent moon
#

ofc mirror is good and you should upgrade that

#

but in a run, you technically dont want to see darkness

rustic falcon
#

why?

#

oh is it only useful for upgrading mirror

#

and thats it

latent moon
#

yeah

#

it doesn't help you while you're in a run

rustic falcon
#

fair enough

latent moon
#

also with dark foresight i want to mention

rustic vale
#

Oh bruh babies first 32 pact was dusa

rustic falcon
#

so rn i need a lot of darkness for upgrading mirror to max so i just go with dark regen for right now? i need 1k for death defiance

latent moon
#

i only see like 3 or 4 darkness rooms throughout the whole run

solar vault
#

If you're still collecting darkness it's fine honestly

latent moon
rustic vale
#

HL2, lc1, js2, em2, cp1, bp2, mm, uc, fo2, dc2, td3

rustic falcon
#

oh

latent moon
#

how much does heroes give? meg and lernie give 50 and 100 respectively iirc

rustic vale
#

But it could be 200

#

Idr

latent moon
#

okay so 300 at the minimum

#

dark thirst makes that 360?

rustic vale
#

No wonder it took me 22 tries

latent moon
#

lmao i wonder how long it took me

rustic vale
#

Mine was mega goofy

stone rune
#

i had

#

hl5 fo2 and td2

latent moon
#

oh it took me 10

#

but for the first 8 i had horrible pacts

rustic vale
latent moon
#

dc2 cp2 js3 cf2

#

td2

rustic vale
stone rune
#

i also had hs on

#

nope

#

not uc

#

thats fine

#

hs

latent moon
#

i either died to champs or dad lmao

rustic falcon
#

oh yeah one final question, which dash ability from mirror should i use greater reflex or ruthless reflex greater reflex seems more consistent but ruthless reflexes feels more rewarding

latent moon
#

it was beo btw

rustic falcon
#

oh ok

latent moon
#

ruthless isnt worth it ever

stone rune
#

there is one (1) reason to use ruthless

latent moon
#

well

#

yeah lmao

stone rune
#

and you shouldnt be doing that anyyways

rustic falcon
latent moon
#

hidden fists

stone rune
#

gilg

rustic vale
#

there are 2 reasons to actually

stone rune
rustic vale
#

Both are bad

#

dodge meme

rustic falcon
#

i can get near miss pretty constantly tho not always so i thought it would be better but without greater reflexes i felt slow

latent moon
#

but like

#

you could have a 50% dodge chance with 1 dash

rustic falcon
#

fair

latent moon
#

or a 100% dodge chance with 2 dashes

rustic falcon
#

true

rustic vale
#

also better movement

stone rune
#

rr when they dont get hermes reflex and they are faced against one (1) dad attack:

rustic falcon
stone rune
#

ddash 4ever

rustic vale
#

more dps via dash striking or just dashing in general with tdash
more survivability by just dashing out of the way of hits or empty dashing for iframes
Better movement -> get to enemies and doors quicker

stone rune
#

rr with nemesis

rustic vale
#

not worth

stone rune
#

yeah

#

one dash strike

#

so funny

latent moon
#

i've only ever seen rr used on beo and gilga

rustic vale
#

Since misplacing my switch charger I have learned (for reasons that are definitely completely unrelated) that my mouse charger also works to charge my switch.

latent moon
#

lmfao

solar vault
#

it's usb-c I think

#

which is pretty common (except for apple products)

rustic vale
#

Yes

latent moon
#

i've never seen a vid of rr beo lmao

#

i just see the victory screens

#

it's only for em4 tho

#

iirc

#

i think it's also assuming you dont use cshot

rustic falcon
#

ok i am seeing why chthonic vitality is better than dark regen it helped me live on 1 hp or otherwise i would have been dead without it

manic kraken
#

also styx

rustic falcon
#

yeah

#

a lot of doors for the meat sack so decent amount of heals

manic kraken
#

I feel like styx and fountains are 90% of the reason chtonic is better

rustic falcon
#

also curse of pain or divine flourish for the bow special

manic kraken
#

what build

#

I assume me

#

what aspect in that case

rustic falcon
#

well i am in first layer so festive fog

#

and thats it

#

oh and hammer for 4 extra shots from special

manic kraken
#

oh

solar vault
#

Are you using chiron aspect?

#

Generally the special on bow is kinda weak

manic kraken
#

well if you have big special then Divine flourish is pretty funny

rustic falcon
#

oh for aspect i am using artemis aspect because i thought with it equipped i could have artemis give me a rare boon from the start but it didnt work artemis gave me commons

#

but i usually use the hermes dodge chance one

manic kraken
#

what

#

that’s keepsake

rustic falcon
#

oh

manic kraken
#

do you have all weapons unlocked

rustic falcon
#

yeah

#

the shield and the gun right

manic kraken
#

ok so you know aspects right

rustic falcon
#

oh the ones with blood titan

solar vault
#

like the different types of bow

manic kraken
#

yea

rustic falcon
#

right no i only have shield aspects rn

manic kraken
#

ok

#

so for zag bow don’t use the special tbh it’s not good

rustic vale
#

For

rustic falcon
#

fair

rustic vale
#

Any bow that isn’t rama or chiron

#

Don’t use the special

rustic falcon
#

so battle rage for main attack damage boost

rustic vale
#

It takes too long and doesn’t do enough damage

#

Uh

#

?!?

rustic vale
#

But also

#

Rarity on artemis boons doesn’t matter

rustic vale
#

Hunters mark is the only artemis boon that cares about rarity

manic kraken
#

hunters dash too right

rustic falcon
# rustic vale Uh

oh so i found Ares boon he has battle rage and curse of pain but i already have divine flourish equipped for special so i was thinking to switch to curse of pain because it does 120 damage with doom if it hits any enemy once so i thought it could be good for chip damage but now i am second guessing

rustic vale
#

I think hunter dash rarity is literally a 10% increase per

manic kraken
#

that’s true

#

50-70 isn’t much

rustic falcon
#

aight

manic kraken
#

fair

latent moon
#

wouldn't be a priority but i'd put it above other things

#

at a certain point

native blade
#

Firstly, Dad's spear plus his call is better than gy easy.

#

Secondly how is flaring spin not the best hammer ever?

rustic vale
native blade
rustic vale
#

I mean you have your other hades spear options of exploding launcher, charged skewer and serrated point which are dps increases

#

And then you have quick and massive spin which allow you to inflict the debuff to enemies faster or more at a time

#

And flaring in comparision kinda just lets you stand there

#

I doesn’t help the aspect as much as 5 other hammers on it do
And flaring spin is also dusa on the aspects that can get flurry jab

latent moon
#

flaring spin is the one where you get sturdy while charging spin right

rustic vale
#

society

native blade
latent moon
#

how much is the pulse damage

#

40?

rustic vale
#

ā€œGet sturdy while charging spinā€ why must society do this to me

rustic vale
native blade
#

Lel

latent moon
#

so it scales with the atk bonus?

#

what's your % rn

native blade
#

Seems so, I've tried all those hammers and this one is my fav without question.

rustic vale
native blade
latent moon
#

either way quick spin is just better because you'd get the spin off without taking damage

native blade
#

Ik my High Confidence is at 5% rn.

native blade
latent moon
#

and the pulse damage isn't bad i guess, but also you're still likely to get hit so i dont think it's a good trade off

native blade
#

Quick spin is nice but flaring spin has more utility imo

latent moon
#

like what

#

the sturdy?

#

so you dont get hit while you spin?

rustic vale
#

Exploding launcher, charged skewer and serrated point is all better for your damage
And quick and massive spin mean you don’t have to take as long charging spin to apply the debuff

native blade
#

kills numbskulls and witches easily

latent moon
#

can't you just stab them

native blade
#

Well yeah, but if there's a crowd this takes care of em faster.

#

Plus it looks cool which is the defining reason.

latent moon
#

wouldn't quick spin be faster

rustic vale
#

it would be faster

latent moon
#

this is hades spear right

#

so just like

#

get a fast spin off

#

the spin radius is prob bigger than the pulse isn't it

#

because hades spear

#

big swing

rustic vale
#

I wonder if quick spin and massive spin affect the pulsing
99% they wouldn’t but who knows

native blade
latent moon
#

unless the pulse is as large as the spin, but idk if that's the case

#

doesn't hades spear spin cover the whole room tho

rustic vale
#

Even if it wasn’t faster

#

Hades spin is covering the whole room

native blade
latent moon
#

more so than the pulses no?

rustic vale
native blade
#

Not really, there's always an enemy out of range.

latent moon
#

couldn't the same be said about the pulse

rustic vale
#

Hades spear is massive

latent moon
#

they'd have to walk/float into range

rustic vale

if you had quick spin and covered the whole room in one swing, you can just dstrike the stragglers

native blade
latent moon
#

quick spin bouldy

rustic vale
#

yeah well

latent moon
#

spin before you get hit

rustic vale
#

Don’t spin 2 feet away from an enemy in their attack animation

native blade
rustic vale
latent moon
#

then dont do max every time lol

rustic vale
rustic vale
latent moon
#

yeah

#

i did the base challenge

#

didnt do bonus

native blade
#

What's that?

latent moon
#

i saw lol

rustic vale
#

So zag can buy present for Melinoe

native blade
latent moon
#

it's this server lmao

latent moon
rustic vale
latent moon
#

i dont have the patience for a run like that lmao

rustic vale
#

I don’t either

#

Mine was broken up over time

latent moon
#

didn't you do like all aspects

latent moon
rustic vale
#

I said I was gonna

latent moon
#

oh lol

rustic vale
#

But the Nyaanyaa @ā€˜ed me about 40 heat and I was like hmm

#

Maybe I should go back to the main goal

latent moon
#

40 heat easy

#

just win

rustic vale
#

You know what’s odd

#

How everyone seems to sell their mirror for chaos theme

latent moon
#

i did it lmao

#

i was only like

#

5k off or something?

rustic vale
#

I didn’t do it and I feel weird because I swear I see a lot of people saying they did it

#

Could just be survivorship bias like

latent moon
#

probably

rustic vale
#

I have 4 options rn

#

Try 40 heat
Try a different monthly challenge
Play mhs2
Sleep

latent moon
#

40 heat

native blade
#

Finally got past Lernie, damn

rustic vale
#

I kinda want to try zeus^2 40 heat to see if I’m just using this challenge as a way of avoiding learning that I’m not good enough for regular 40 heat

brisk trail
#

me getting back to hades after throwing in the most miserable way for 5 runs in a row

carmine wraith
#

So does this game just pick like 2 of the 4 gods in your loot pool to give boons for? Second run now I've started with ares keepsake and only got two ares boons total each run..

#

Or am I just extremely unlucky

warm nimbus
#

you just got unlucky

#

it chooses randomly between the 4

carmine wraith
#

damn, certainly doesn't feel that way

#

The game always feels like it focuses really hard on just two

#

Hmm, dire misfortune or impending doom on lucifer doom attack

#

Think imma go dire

rustic vale
#

Impending doom

#

Then go athena special

#

MEcifer

lone sable
#

What weapon do tou guys prefer?

#

I personally go with the fists

#

Trying to get the last aspect

rustic vale
#

Eh whatever

#

I find zag bow and zeus shield to be my favourites but I don’t think there is much of a gap between my least liked and most liked aspects

lunar condor
#

Got a question. Does choosing triple shot on Hera bow get all the shots loaded up with casts?

#

Or is it just the central shot that’s loaded up with the cast?

lunar condor
#

That actually says a lot about today’s economy

lunar condor
#

Oh ok

high island
carmine wraith
#

man I don't get why I see people all over recommending guan yu special build

#

I have +9 heartbreak flourish and +60% from chaos and it only does like 220 damage

#

With hestia I'd be doing like triple that lol

#

Seems nowhere near worth it for the monstrous health and healing penalty

#

oh actually only 200 damage, and fiery presence bumped that up to 235

#

Which makes me realize I have no idea how damage works in this game I guess

latent moon
#

oh also you need charged skewer

#

if you're playing guan yu, the best way is to treat it as funky hestia/bow with charged skewer

#

otherwise, if you want a safe aspect that can deal big damage, hestia is generally the go-to

carmine wraith
#

Well I'm just doing it for the prophecy

#

Easily my least favorite aspect so far

#

Now that I think about it, I think I hate all of the spear aspects, which probably means I just really hate the spear lol

latent moon
#

lmao it do be like that

#

spear tends to be hammer reliant

carmine wraith
#

Weird I used to use the spear a ton when I first started because I could stay at a safe range with the special

latent moon
#

funny enough, that's exactly how you're supposed to play guan yu lmao

carmine wraith
#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

#

I'd rather use the same playstyle but do actual damage with hestia

lone sable
#

The only weapon i really used the special with was the rail

#

For the others i always forget i have the special

latent moon
#

guan yu actually would've done huge damage for you if you had charged skewer tbh

latent moon
carmine wraith
#

what does that one do again?

latent moon
#

bow, shield, occasionally fists

lone sable
#

I main the fists rn and the special is just there

carmine wraith
#

demeter

lone sable
#

I do wanna try to get the last aspect tho

#

Cause funny 4x dmg on the main attack

latent moon
#

yeah you never use special on fists unless you're 1) using dem fists, 2) funky talos tech, or 3) funky dstrike dupper tech mainly used at high level play

lone sable
#

meanwhile me being a certified dash spammer anyway

carmine wraith
#

you'll love the last fist aspect then lol

latent moon
carmine wraith
#

yeah

lone sable
latent moon
#

hold special down to charge it

#

goes up to 200% more damage

carmine wraith
#

ah

lone sable
#

Btw are dmg buffs from boons additive or multiplicative?

carmine wraith
#

so I'd be doing hestia damage at the cost of having the charge it?

latent moon
#

so your special becomes like a bow, except it has better aoe and damage

latent moon
carmine wraith
#

oh true I guess

lone sable
#

Tbh im mainly not using the special cause the hotkey is rather uncomfortable to spam while dodging

latent moon
#

kbm?

#

can always rebind the special

carmine wraith
#

so if you hold dash and attack at the same time, you will do four quick dash attacks in succession

latent moon
#

so a +60% from chaos on top of +100% from aphrodite is just gonna be 160%

#

speed and damage reduction is multiplicative

brisk trail
#

can you jolt/charm hades from doing his beam attack thanthink

latent moon
#

yeah

#

jolt just does damage tho

#

doesn't stun like charm

#

also iirc dad might start the beam atk after charm is over? not sure tho

brisk trail
#

ic so its charm, i had both so i didnt know what did which

latent moon
#

fair

half rock
#

AHHH I LOVE THIS GAME

carmine wraith
#

27 minute clear jfc

#

my average is like 17 lmao

latent moon
#

it do be like that

wicked swan
#

i like charming his spin attack alot and usually when the effect ends he immediately does it

latent moon
#

i dont use aphro call enough to know lmao

#

but makes sense

#

from what i remember

lone sable
lone sable
#

Is athena the only god that changes theseus's main attack or am i just blind

sour fog
#

all of them do

#

Dio gives him hangover for example

#

Aphro gives him weak

lone sable
#

Oh

tired karma
#

Artemis is best girl in Hades

lone sable
#

Ig im just blind

#

Athena's is definetly more noticable

sour fog
#

it's hard to notice most of the time, also the status effects I think last shorter amount of time than normal so it goes by quick

lone sable
tired karma
lone sable
#

The spin

tired karma
#

I just blast the dude

lone sable
#

Athena makes the spin bigger

native blade
#

But yeah.

lone sable
tired karma
#

Imagine playing as the son of Zag and Artemis
all of Artemis boons are with you from the start, maxed out

lone sable
#

Why artemis specifically

#

It is a funny idea with you starting with all boons from one god but cant get any more

chrome heath
#

I wish there were themed runs for Hades

#

Like, runs with only 2 gods

slim geyser
#

artemis is specifically not interested in men in the mythos

chrome heath
#

Or just one

slim geyser
#

ive done it a couple times!

#

hael did an all aphrodite one

lone sable
high island
#

She also says if he ever makes it to Olympus, she'll probably ignore him like the rest of her family. tizomg

slim geyser
#

i might do zag bow all arty sometime

tired karma
slim geyser
#

not always actually

chrome heath
#

Sigh

#

Here we go again

slim geyser
#

dont mean to bash your ships or anything but i just wanted to mention it

tired karma
#

I don't care much about ships but using mythos is silly since the game goes against them

chrome heath
#

Not against you Abigail don't worry

slim geyser
#

/shrug

#

wow thanks discord

#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

sour fog
#

in some instances it does, they have changed stuff but not drastically

chrome heath
#

It was more a sigh of this conversation shows up regularly xD

slim geyser
#

theres a couple of really excellent videos on hades and the mythos actually

#

ill grab them bc theyre really interesting

chrome heath
#

The hilarious part is that, if with Zag theres little and contradictory information, with Mel we have EVEN LESS

I didn't know i was flirting with all of my friends when i invite them over

lets not argue about this btw

#

wont really do anything productive i think

chrome heath
#

Ok ok

lone sable
#

What are your guys's favourite interactions with other chars?

tired karma
#

Even Zeus tried to set her up with Zag
and there were plenty of moments when she shown interest

she's either straight or bi in this game

lone sable
#

For me its when you talk to dusa about her relatives then zag asks if he can keep slashing at them and she says "yeah sure thanks for asking"

chrome heath
#

Deka i swear i will block you

lone sable
#

"Hey can i keep killing your relatives?"
"Yeah"

tired karma
slim geyser
#

I just loved being the relationship therapist between orpheus and eurydice haha

#

i will die for them!

lone sable
slim geyser
#

orpheus puts eyeshadow on and cries a specific amount of tears each day to get it like That

tired karma
#

Well, all of her dialogue is trash talking zag

lone sable
#

Ah autobot

tired karma
lone sable
#

Lemme rephraze

tired karma
#

you are a weird hypocrite in my book anyway

lone sable
#

I also like how in the true ending persephone sees cerberus and hades and ignores the hell out of hades

#

At least for the first few lines

slim geyser
#

its very funny

lone sable
#

"Here's my husban-OH HELLO DOGGIE"

high island
#

People tried to set me up with guys a number of times, still no interest in men whatsoever. tizomg

tired karma
#

would be funny if there were random moments in the styx when Cerberus actually decides to fight back (the sack is rotten or something)

and then he summons all of the enemies from all rooms at the same time and fights you together with them

tired karma
high island
#

I am telling you your conclusion is very far-fetched lol.

lone sable
high island
#

Nothing wrong with interpreting it that way if you like, but it's not a fact.

tired karma
#

from their dialogue you clearly see she shows interest
I don't know why some of you pushing her being lesbian so hard when the game clearly goes against that
it's okay to be straight or bisexual and a lot of characters in this game are bisexual (especially the Gods)

high island
#

Bodied by Dyno. tizomg

lone sable
#

Keep forgetting about the autobot

high island
chrome heath
#

I fluster out of being shy and socially awkward, like, no interest involved

raw herald
#

wats goin on ova here

slim geyser
#

discussion over artemis and zag but i think we should move on

#

oh i also really like all the hypnos dialouge knowing full well he physically cannot be sarcastic

high island
#

People trying to make the goddess of chastity have a child with Zagreus again. tizomg

lone sable
#

One quick question: are theese discussions common in here?

#

I joined yesterday and dont wanna have a repeat of the undertale comunity experience

slim geyser
#

the arguments?

#

generally not

high island
#

I wouldn't say common at all, but it pops up every so often if you've been here for awhile lol.

slim geyser
#

Yeah

lone sable
#

Just this type of discussion at all

#

Well thats good to know

slim geyser
#

tbh the hades community is one of my favorites as fandoms go

#

especially the speedrunning side

native blade
#

Same

#

They're so cool and nice.

high island
#

SGG are good community leaders.

slim geyser
#

and the mods are great ofc

#

also what characters did yall first form a bond with?

native blade
#

So great

#

can't wait to get em

chrome heath
#

Out of always going shop xD

slim geyser
#

Lmao fair

high island
#

I had formed a bond with Lady Aphrodite before I ever even started playing the game, naturally. squirtdevious

native blade
lone sable
#

For me hermes

slim geyser
#

mine was eury

high island
#

You couldn't actually form a bond with anyone in the game when I started to play lol.

slim geyser
#

orpheus came later though

#

maybe like third

#

bc i know i got meg very quickly

native blade
high island
#

So probably whosever bond they added first.

#

Which I don't remember.

chrome heath
#

I really love the little portraits they get after bonding

native blade
#

Who's the first y'all finished?

#

Artie ofc

solar vault
#

I didn't get to the olympians beyond keepsake after basically finishing max bonds with everyone else

slim geyser
#

took me a while for hermes actually

lone sable
#

Wait with bond dont you just mean giving one nectar? Sry im just a dumbass

native blade
slim geyser
#

but we mean the little icon you get on keepsakes after maxing out nectar

native blade
#

Finished most of my Cabinet before my 10th win

high island
#

"Dumbass" isn't a problem in chat.

slim geyser
#

oh its not?

#

alright

lone sable
#

Yeah mb keep forgetting this is a child friendly server

solar vault
#

I assume the bot would get rid of it if it was

slim geyser
#

yea true

slim geyser
lone sable
#

alr got autobot'd twice

solar vault
#

right sometimes I have to begrudgingly reword my sentence without swears in it

lone sable
#

Generally when i swear its just something minor like the f word or "oh crap"

#

(Except crap replaced with the not ok one)

chrome heath
#

Ugh me too, my friends chat is littered with mouthy no nos

#

Mostly mine

lone sable
#

The only times my swears are offensive are when the're offensive towards myself

high island
#

You can curse here.

#

Blood and Darkness.

slim geyser
#

my friends and i say "f you" a lot but mostly jokingly

high island
#

There, you can use that. dusa

slim geyser
#

(entirely jokingly lmao)

lone sable
chrome heath
#

...has Hypnos ever been angry at all?

slim geyser
#

not really

lone sable
#

How the hell did i beat charon in my first attempt but then got my butt handed over the next try

#

(Both tries were in tartarus)

slim geyser
#

your build and rng probably

lone sable
#

The fight took ages the first time as well

#

In fact the 2nd try felt faster yet i died before even the 3rd phase

#

Its funny how he does more dmg than hades tho

#

Ig average shopkeeper in games

high island
#

Maybe overconfident because your damage was better.

lone sable
#

My overconfidence came from the fact that this time i'll likely know how to dodge better

#

I didnt

chrome heath
#

Charon in Tartarus is sich a gamble foe me

#

But the profit

lone sable
#

Btw i tried the heat thing that makes the first boss be buffed

#

Was the help from alecto and tisiphone just the lines of circles?

#

Cause if so that's free heat gauge

chrome heath
#

Yep

high island
#

They have various attacks like that as supports, yeah.

chrome heath
#

Though Tis darkens the room

#

I think Alecto hurls blades?

high island
#

I think each of them has 2-3 attacks and picks one of them at random for the duration of each boss phase.

lone sable
#

Ngl when i saw all 3 in the room i tought i'd be fighting all 3 at once

#

Esp cause i had more dmg than i usually do so i tought meg's hp was lowered a bunch and that i'd be fighting them in order

high island
#

They have 1 or 2 Furies as support, which gives you 9 variations.

#

Whereas if you fought all three, that's one variation. tizomg

lone sable
#

Yeah thats true

#

Im more used to roguelikes where the first boss is always the same so this is a nice change of pace

#

lets not talk about the ammount of variations hydra has

chrome heath
#

Would be awesome to fight all 3, a la champions of Elysium

last mauve
#

Lol

native blade
#

Pfft

rustic vale
tired karma
#

daedalus is the scariest of them all
imagine fighting a boss that has all of your weapons with all of his hammers

#

except the crappy ones

toxic trellis
#

Or, he has a gimmick halfway through the fight, where he swaps your hammers for the worst ones, just messing up your build, and he takes the better ones. Only way you’d get your original upgrades back is by beating him

tired karma
#

or it's his last laugh, you will not get your original upgrades

#

imagine u get clockets and he just takes it away to spam them against u
and u get 2 super useless hammers

fervent jewel
#

me taking a deliberately useless build (daedalus is powerless against me)

lone sable
#

What stops him from just taking away your weapon

fervent jewel
#

i would defeat him with casts and my divine dash!

warm nimbus

#

i need ideas of a new hades goal. i just got 32 heat with each aspect, i just did my first 40 heat win.. im kinda getting sick of heat lol
i wana do more speedrunning but i find it frustrating bc i have no mods on xbox.. and also that would require some homework and looking at guides... any other ideas of a new challenge i can make for myself?

pastel monolith
#

i wana do a 40 heat with each weapon maybe, or get sub 10 igt with each weapon.. but im trying to think outside the box and come upnwith somethin more creative

chrome heath
#

Boonless?

pastel monolith
#

ive tried no hit runs.. i almost did onr but i usualy get hit in styx

#

i did boonless once that was fun, ill try that again

#

i definitely need to practice em4 and also get used to more used to forced overtime 2

chrome heath
#

There are weekly randomized challenges for 32 heat

pastel monolith
#

oh ya thats right

#

those are posted here somewhere?

grave sage
#

Wait

chrome heath
#

Reddit last i checked

grave sage
#

I just got the champion of elysium achievement

#

In asphodel

pastel monolith
#

lol whaat

chrome heath
#

I didn't know that big existed XD

warm nimbus
#

since theres no routes to learn and stuff

#

and no glitches either

thorny mirage
#

The only routes for speedrunning is if you do routed runs

warm nimbus
#

ye

thorny mirage
#

Which feel like they’d be insanely hard to do on like

#

console

warm nimbus
#

yeah i dont think youd be able to

#

since you need to start with a specific seed

thorny mirage
#

With speedrunning the main thing is mindset I guess

#

If it’s IGT get used to pausing for room choices/boons

#

If it’s real time I believe you put on tight deadline

#

To not allow survival rooms

high island
warm nimbus
#

yeah

#

more people run igt than rta, its very stress free

#

you just need to know the build that youre going for and how to kill stuff fast

thorny mirage
#

They mean glitches you need to activate in other games

#

Like there’s no ā€œleft right cast specialā€ input on tuesdays with a shimmy to skip 15 rooms

warm nimbus
#

i mean the problems with beo are just that the numbers are wrong for a ton of stuff

warm nimbus
#

hades has like literally no bugs

#

or glitches or whatever

thorny mirage
#

And the bugs we do have are features now!

warm nimbus
#

double mirage zagluv

toxic trellis
#

I’ve ran into only one bug/glitch in my almost two years with this game

thorny mirage
#

I’ve had the wrong god keepsake bug

thorny mirage
#

Where I have the keepsake still active and I just get another god with no other option

#

it was really weord

warm nimbus
#

that happens when the god on your keepsake is on an erebus gate

toxic trellis
#

I was fighting Asterius as a mini-boss, and close to the end of the battle I sort of cornered him against the wall, and after I got him down 3/4 of his health, the bell rung. Except he just stood there for a solid five seconds. Then, he just walked through the wall.

thorny mirage
#

Nope

#

It was like weeks ago

#

very strange

toxic trellis
#

Wish I could’ve thought to record that, but it was so sudden and I was laughing my ass off

#

Oh, I can say ass, that’s good

high island
#

What's especially funny is when he dies from DOT on his way out.

thorny mirage
#

I always find it funny when that happens

glossy coral
toxic trellis
#

Nah, forcing a boss to sit there is more of a time sink than anything /j

pastel monolith
#

i couldnt believe how good my guan yu 32 heat run went. i usualy hate it but i got the hammers that makes ur spin charge faster and go for longer and i just spammed it all day and it was honestly like the easiest run ever

#

i didnt even get a very good attack boon, i had poseidan.. also i had support fire which seemed to actually be pretty useful

high island
#

Tempest Strike spin builds can be really good.

#

Just like... nothing can touch you lol.

pastel monolith
#

ya i had full health the entire run lol

thorny mirage
#

support fire? Useful?

#

based!

pastel monolith
#

ikr??

glossy coral
thorny mirage
#

I thought those words were antonyms

pastel monolith
#

i took some damage but i always healed immediately

thorny mirage
#

brb

glossy coral
thorny mirage
#

Not a lot of damage

thorny mirage
#

cuz you’re mad high for calling support fire an OP boon lmao

pastel monolith
#

i think thanatos keepsake is overrated.. even if i do it like perfectly its like 30 to 40% more damage by the end.. which is great and all but not so great to make up for not being able to swap keepsake and having to play very weirdly and safely

thorny mirage
#

It is

pastel monolith
#

support fire looks a lot better than it is lol

#

but it sure does look cool

thorny mirage
#

yeah

pastel monolith
#

it worked well with rhe guan yu spin move, i imagine it would also work well with zeus shield special

#

or maybe rama special

thorny mirage
#

Even with that the damage increase is super negligible

high island
#

It's not neglible.

thorny mirage
#

It’s 14 per special and attack hit right

#

maybe cast too

pastel monolith
#

for cast it goes as soon as u cast whether it hits anything or not

#

is it just me or does the basic gun attack always suck outside of like tartarus

thorny mirage
#

I mean if you put nothing on it and it isn’t hestia sure

pastel monolith
#

i know zeus is good on it

#

for small enemies

thorny mirage
#

if you put zeus/dio/idk even ares on it it seems pretty good

high island
thorny mirage
#

also jolted

#

jolted is damage

pastel monolith
#

but its never felt very poweful tonme no matter what

high island
#

Lightning Strike on its own is kinda weak there.

thorny mirage
#

Yeah
