Hold on...

#

Haelian and jawless paul

peak carbon
#

First timing EM4

north shell
peak carbon
#

I did em1 before, not as bad

north shell
#

have you done em3

#

before

high island
#

haelian's tier list is more about what he thinks is fun and stuff, too.

peak carbon
#

Nope

north shell
#

that explains it

glass adder
#

Yet they were very similar ranking...

high island
#

Jawless Paul has been around for a long time but has never really been deep into the meta or been competitive or anything.

peak carbon
#

Theseus, as ever, is not hard

north shell
#

yeah that's what gets people the first time they do em3

#

theseus is just there

#

to fill in the blank

peak carbon
#

Theseus is honestly easier there

#

Cos he just runs around the sides doing nothing

high island
north shell
#

i don't think it's easier, it's just that Theseus lacks difficulty overall

glass adder
peak carbon
#

I think it's easier just because I can't run into Theseus and have to dodge him

north shell
#

rail is likely the best

peak carbon
#

He has a set pattern

north shell
#

or shield

peak carbon
#

Unlike the non-em

north shell
#

though bows are high up there as well

peak carbon
#

Where he runs around randomly

north shell
peak carbon
#

Onto redacted now wish me luck

north shell
#

high island
#

Hidden shield is the best aspect in the game for like 99.99% of relevant content. Well, Hera can keep up with it in unmodded speedruns.

#

And Zeus Shield is basically the only relevant pick for 60+ Heat, which is relevant maybe for a handful of players in the whole world though.

#

Well, can use Zag Shield and Chaos there, but they're just versions of Zeus Shield at that point.

glass adder
#

Hidden? Oh i don't have that one yet ๐Ÿ˜…

peak carbon
#

I lost

north shell
#

i'm ngl

#

kinda expected

#

granted you likely didn't have any idea what his new attacks are

#

but ay there was an attempt

#

you'll get him next time

glass adder
#

Is pom blossom the best keepsake?

#

Usually i start with Athena to get her dash

north shell
#

pom blossom is mid

peak carbon
#

Alright should I get Beowulf or should I get upgrade to guan yu

glass adder
#

Really?

peak carbon
#

I'm gonna get beo

glass adder
#

Which are the best?

#

You get so many upgrades

north shell
#

keepsake meta is usually god keepsake 1 > god keepsake 2 > acorn > acorn

#

some slight variations here and there

#

sometimes you may take coin purse in aspho

peak carbon
#

Does god keepsake work a second time if you change

north shell
#

or hourglass/lucky tooth in ely

north shell
#

i mean it does but only the rarity bonus

peak carbon
#

Oh right

#

That's kinda wack

north shell
#

ngl

#

at least it's better than arthur catok

peak carbon
#

Ok it's not better than Arthur

#

Guan Yu is the worst but I need to win with it for a trophy

glass adder
#

Hmm, i don't usually need acorn for 3rd boss, at least yet

#

I think I'm missing the god one

north shell
#

arthur worst aspect

north shell
peak carbon
#

Arthur is great

#

Don't even cap

high island
#

That's pretty much the keepsake meta.

north shell
#

arthur worst aspect

peak carbon
#

It ain't

glass adder
north shell
#

opinions ig

peak carbon
#

Guan Yu is worse and I won't even argue about it cos it's just fact

#

It is so bad

high island
#

Excalibur is one of the easiest aspects to win with even all the way up to 32 Heat. Which is what's relevant for like 95% of players pretty much.

north shell
#

imo

high island
#

Excalibur is also garbage at speedruns and garbage in high heat lol.

glass adder
#

Isn't the lucky a bad version of acorn?

north shell
#

it's not bad

glass adder
#

5 hits from hades is more than that HP no?

peak carbon
#

Arthur got me through 5 heat I can't even clear heat 0 with guan yu

north shell
#

so is gy i'd say but i'd rather take gy over arthur in a speedrun

peak carbon
#

It's a personal thing but I hate guan yu

north shell
high island
glass adder
#

What's EM? ๐Ÿ˜‚

north shell
#

extreme measures

#

have you finished a run yet?

high island
glass adder
#

Oh, I have that

#

I'm slowly increasing it

#

Max i got was 3

north shell
#

is em really end game tho?

#

ig em4 is

#

but lower than that you kinda just take it very early to get used to it no?

glass adder
#

The multiple bombs from gun is so good

peak carbon
#

I almost beat Charon damn

#

Beowulf slaps

glass adder
#

Charon is hard af

#

Only fought him once

#

I beat him

peak carbon
#

I panicked and flopped lol

#

Next time I'll maybe win

glass adder
#

Unhas now, I'd have died with a close range weapon for sure

peak carbon
#

Is charged shot good for beo

raw herald
#

Itโ€™s the best hammer for it

peak carbon
#

I see

#

I chose something else already ๐Ÿ˜”

#

I'll have to choose charged next time tho

glass adder
#

I think i just learned that not taking Athena dash makes me take too much DMG ๐Ÿ˜‚

peak carbon
#

I got a mini boss for Athena's boon with Eurydice rarity upgrade and Athena's keepsake

#

I better get epic dash

peak carbon
#

That and Poseidon

#

Epic dash lfg!!

north shell
#

are there any duos i should be looking for on zeus shield?

peak carbon
#

Only duo I can think of is the Aphrodite one which doubles pom levels

north shell
#

got that one

peak carbon
#

Idk then sorry

north shell
#

i'm kinda just like

#

not sure what to take into aspho

glass adder
#

Have cluster bombs with doom yay

peak carbon
#

God, beo is amazing

#

Just shredded lernie

#

Like, two minutes and I crushed him

north shell
#

lernie took you 2 minutes to kill?

peak carbon
#

Double boon upgrade rarity on Poseidon I hope I get call

peak carbon
#

Two real life minutes, not game minutes

#

Game minutes it was just under 1

#

Got charged shot lfg

glass adder
#

I got targeting system too

peak carbon
#

I'm gonna crush this

#

Got epic Poseidon call lfg

glass adder
#

Only problem is sometimes i can't see what's happening in the map ๐Ÿ˜‚

silver mica
#

I find it pretty good against heroes and EM4 Dad

high island
silver mica
#

I have the timing down for it

#

So I'll probably carry on but I still probably should broaden my views

glass adder
#

Should i jump to heat 8?

#

I mean, i still miss upgrades and items, but it's a lot of grinding

peak carbon
#

Em3 is heat 6, add the em time limit and one other irrelevant thing and you can do 8 easy I bet

north shell
#

there's a pin that tells you what's recommended to take up to heat 32

silver mica
#

For heat 8 I go EM3, TD1 and heightened security

#

They don't really affect me too much

#

Just watch out for styx and elysium stuff

peak carbon
#

Redacted time!!

north shell
#

real

#

gl

#

man i suck at shield ๐Ÿ’€

#

took me a whole 14 minutes

#

ig it was my first time playing shield tho

peak carbon
#

I beat him

#

Ran out of time

#

But I coped

glass adder
#

90 DMG only taken in hates yay

#

6 winstreak

#

I'm getting getter i guess

peak carbon
#

I unlocked dad hearts oop

#

Maxed out guan yu now, guess I'll have to win with it

north shell
peak carbon
#

I know :(((

#

I don't enjoy guan yu but I need a trophy

high island
peak carbon
#

Got to the satyr hunt, without dying

#

Maybe I'll beat redacted now

#

Onto redacted, wish me lu ck

glass adder
peak carbon
#

I beat him with guan yu

#

Finally

#

I hate guan yu so damned much

silver mica
#

I still gotta do that I think

north shell
#

standing here

#

i realize

#

you are just like me, trying to make history

native blade
peak carbon
silver mica
#

Understandable

#

That's how I felt about Gilgamesh

#

I like using it until I get to styx and then the uh initial excitement wears off

stoic spoke
#

I cant be the only one who doesnt really like any of the hidden aspects

#

Beowulf is fun w a good build tho

silver mica
#

I like Lucifer

#

And Rama is fun too

#

Arthur takes a while getting used to

#

And I still find myself praying for a swift strike

stoic spoke
#

Ive never really tried rama but for lucifer having to stand still to ramp up dmg annoys me lol

#

I dash all over the room when i play

native blade
#

Explain.

latent moon
empty swallow
#

I might do a revote for this one

#

Because there are like 2 hours left and not even 100 have voted so it feels a little unfair especially for the semis

#

Idk if I should tho cause I think Arthur would lose anyway

high island
#

I don't think a revote is a good idea.

empty swallow
#

Fair but idk I might jus leave it

#

It doesn't really matter Zeus is gonna win the tornament 100% its the only weapon I see everyone agree is absolutely amazing

silver mica
#

I've done all the companions and bonds

#

Is ambrosia needed for anything else or can I just titan blood farm now

latent moon
#

If you have all companions maxed and all bonds maxed then that's it other than resource director

silver mica
#

Why does aphrodite hate me

#

All I want is blown kiss

high island
#

You know you need Crush Shot, right?

silver mica
#

I have it

#

On level four

#

But I can never find it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

Genuinely it's like my most elusive boon

Nice username

#

theseus walking animation is so dumb, it distracts me everytime

woeful trout
#

Is Beowulf good even without casts?

latent moon
#

like shackle beowulf?

#

it'll work

#

kinda

#

it'll feel decent through tart and then start so suck in aspho and then it's bad in ely onwards

#

on the other hand tho i can't tell if my damage was being carried by cshot dragon rush lol

stone rune
#

i think they mean playing it like it was the arthur of shields

#

in which case it's a worse zagshield

latent moon
#

oh lmao

#

yeah it'd be bad bad shield

brisk trail
#

Is it bad if it took me 15 minutes to beat a boss

latent moon
#

it's gonna be a 7:77 run

stone rune
#

this 636 dad entry is saying something similar

latent moon
#

lmfao

stone rune
#

why does the game make me play elysium

#

literally why

#

those chambers could have been not chambers

latent moon
#

just get all chaos

stone rune
#

i skipped to c31

#

and then had to play 32 33 34

#

why

latent moon
#

lmao rip

brisk trail
stone rune
#

lmfao 708 phase

#

733

#

#

god damn runt

latent moon
stone rune
#

i got the sweet nectar in ely endshop lmfao

latent moon
#

well clockets is neat lol

stone rune
#

clockets is big

#

but 353 aspho is 353 aspho

brisk trail
stone rune
#

i think my lernie was a little behind the times

#

took like 5 seconds every summon or de invuln

#

he was just sittin there

#

chillin

latent moon
stone rune
#

lightning strike

#

charged volley

#

chain shot

brisk trail
latent moon
#

well chain shot would be decent on heroes tbf lol

brisk trail
#

and point blank

stone rune
#

those are great hammers

#

lmfao

latent moon
#

oh you should've been fine lmao what was your attack boon

stone rune
#

ares

brisk trail
#

Couldnt remember it

latent moon
#

i remember having tempest strike on my fresh file but i dont remember if i had twin shot or not

brisk trail
stone rune
#

dont spam with bow

#

dash strike power shot

#

I HATE ASPHODEL

#

I JUST MISSED A CHAOS GATE CAUSE THIS ROOM TOO MASSIVE

warm zenith
#

anyone else use stygian just bc they dont like picking up the thingies

stone rune
#

i use stygian because i need rd

native blade
#

Lel.

native blade
stone rune
#

you got potted

latent moon
#

yeah that's very clearly pots lmao

#

although that seems like a long stun?

#

i dont know how long the pots stun you for

#

but that's 100% because of pots

stone rune
#

got one pot and then dad broke another one

#

this is why we don't use stubborn at 16 heat lmfao

latent moon
#

does the stun timer stack then lmao

#

because it was pretty instant wasn't it

stone rune
#

a dunne

native blade
#

It was such a good run.

native blade
glass adder
#

One timer is easy, but having a timer stresses me, at least in the first floor

stone rune
#

why is lightning strike good on achilles

#

it gets no %

#

jolted right

latent moon
#

jolted is really good yeah

#

also it's flurry jab

#

fast atk, flat damage

stone rune
#

but like

latent moon
#

and depending on how you're building it, you could get splitting

stone rune
#

big number from boost

latent moon
#

well achilles is super versatile

stone rune
#

i guess it's like sword

latent moon
#

yeah with lightning strike you rely more on fds

#

could build towards lightning phalanx also

#

but you still need fds for bosses

stone rune
#

can trippy shot work

latent moon
#

mainly like just dad

stone rune
latent moon
#

it has really good damage

latent moon
#

but then the stones get stuck lol

stone rune
latent moon
#

unless you have that one hermes boon but also the only way you're getting enough juice is through rd

stone rune
#

quick reload :(

stone rune
latent moon
#

oh

#

well i guess it's chonky enough lmao

#

i didn't think it was enough

stone rune
#

lvl7 epic though

#

with parting

latent moon
#

wait if there's no nearby enemies does lightning phalanx still try to bounce

#

or does it just stay stuck

stone rune
#

uh

#

i was not paying attention

latent moon
#

i mean you complained about the stones getting stuck

#

so i would assume not i guess

stone rune
#

am i gonna build phalanx again rn

#

just got purple phalanx in midboss lmfao

#

we gaming

latent moon
#

lmao do it

#

might as well

#

achilles is pretty versatile

stone rune
#

i hate chaos extensions

#

screws up my chamber numbers

latent moon
#

chaos extension is funny if you get rd out of it

stone rune
#

how do i have 594 gold in c12

latent moon
#

4 gold chambers and didn't buy from midshop lmao

#

very nice

stone rune
#

i got sisyphus

latent moon
#

might as well be a gold chamber tbh

stone rune
#

it gave me 111 gold

#

from 444 to 555

#

rngesus???

#

achilles is so fun though jesus

#

bosses arent too fun but the room clear is so amazing

latent moon
#

yeah it's pretty fun

stone rune
#

uhh

#

in eury

#

i have sprint rn

#

no 2nd hermes

#

i take nectar right

#

not pom

#

oh wait

#

oh yea

latent moon
#

always take nectar if you dont have all hermes lmao

#

and the duo you want

#

if you have all duos and hermes, then you take whatever

stone rune
#

erm

#

do i 2nd roll over rare quick reload

#

i kind of really really want it

#

took it

#

got lightning

#

FUN FACT:

#

DON'T UNEQUIP HOURGLASS BEFORE CHECKING WELL

#

braid and stone be like

latent moon
#

lmfao

stone rune
#

itโ€™s weird hestia right

latent moon
#

rama's more close to beo tbh

stone rune
#

oh

latent moon
#

i think

stone rune
#

most hidden aspects are just weird hestia

latent moon
#

because it has "aoe" technically

#

because shared suffering except you can stack shared suffering damage on the same target

stone rune
#

i guess beowulf if you think about it is weird hestia

latent moon
#

lmao only because of cshot

#

but rama's front half can be pretty fast when done correctly

stone rune
#

you ever accidentally eat a contact lens

latent moon
#

and back half depends on the second hammer

stone rune
#

i just did

latent moon
#

bruh lmao gj

stone rune
latent moon
#

point blank and perfect

#

point blank is better tho

#

because the whole "release early if you have to" thing

#

i would assume anyways

stone rune
#

i mean

#

if you release early isnt point blank even shorter range

latent moon
#

well point blank is like 1/3 of the twin shot

#

or half

#

something

stone rune
#

also does perfect extend the window backwards in time

latent moon
#

but you can release like 3/4 if you have to

stone rune
#

does it make it faster to execute

latent moon
#

uh

stone rune
#

or does it elongate further into time

latent moon
#

prob further

#

because like

#

it should take the same amount of time to charge for perfect

#

and once you hit it, the window to shoot will be longer

#

i guess like technically chain also works for a faster room clear but then not having the 150% for heroes and dad would suck

stone rune
#

chain heroes:

#

dad though yeah

latent moon
#

ngl idk how chain interacts with heroes even tho i just used it

stone rune
#

i mean

#

itโ€™s probably like ricochet

latent moon
#

i had twin rama with like 160% bonus from chaos and epic rd lmfao

stone rune
#

so if they are close enough it bounce

latent moon
#

but is it like lightning phalanx where it bounces to the previous target again

stone rune
#

160? needs more juice

latent moon
stone rune
#

hestia gets 350 juice by heroes

latent moon
#

too many numbers

#

i didn't realize i phased them in like 2-3 shots

high island
stone rune
#

doesnt lightning not get affected by achilles boost

high island
#

But neither do any of the other Attack boons.

stone rune
#

crit

high island
#

You can technically get the same crit chance on all attack boons. dusa

#

Deadly Strike benefits more than the other % attacks from the bonus, yeah.

stone rune
#

and thatโ€™s why heartbreak strike is the best

#

simply get lvl12 pp

high island
#

Lightning Strike is more instances of damage, has minor AOE, benefits more from global damage, and gets Static Discharge for a third instance of damage that has excellent pom scaling and also benefits from global damage again.

stone rune
#

you forgot to mention storm lightning

#

which is a really good supporting boon

high island
#

Never heard of it.

#

The AOE from Lightning Strike is very overrated though. tizomg

native blade
#

Really?

high island
#

People who believe in Lightning Strike AOE probably take Thunder Flourish on Chiron. tizozzz

native blade
#

Lel.

#

Ok, so why is it an illusion?

latent moon
#

It chains 4 times and each chain is 0.8 of the previous damage or something, it's on the wiki

#

It's helpful for like numbskulls and smaller enemies

#

But after that it's pretty eh

#

There's not much aoe

latent moon
high island
# latent moon It's helpful for like numbskulls and smaller enemies

It barely does anything at all there either. Most of the time people think like the chaining is making the difference but it's just all of them getting hit by the initial hit from the attack anyway, and if it's really only the chaining that hits... That's like getting hit by a single Support Fire arrow and nothing else. tizomg

stone rune
#

so do the bonus storm lightnings deal 5 damage

high island
#

With Static Discharge, it can make a meaningful difference and save a second here or there if it inflicts Jolted on an enemy that would have been too far otherwise... and if that Jolted proc kills them off.

latent moon

glass adder
#

11 winstreak yay

stone rune
#

time to increase heat

glass adder
#

I'm increasing one by one

#

At least until I unlock all weapons

high island

Time to up the Heat and end that streak. dusa

stone rune
glass adder
#

Yeah

#

My max heat was 4 so far with shield

high island
#

That's gonna be a very long time.

Blood seems easier to find than ambrosia

stone rune
#

diamonds itโ€™s a waste

#

takes too many

#

but you can turn like 10 ambrosia into titan blood at least

#

do more than maybe 20 at your own risk

glass adder
#

I see

#

I still have a lot of nectar to give

high island
#

Max Hera, do 20 bow runs with Hera at ~16min RTA each. Easy bounties. squirtdevious

strange way to spell zagbow

rta*

stone rune
#

only about 2 and a half hours

stone rune
high island
#

Zag Bow starts Tidal Dash too in speedruns you know lol.

stone rune
#

yeah

#

hestia is zagbow if zagbow did like 50% more base damage

high island
#

But only one of them can kill armored enemies in one shot.

#

The other one is Hestia.

stone rune
#

hestia is zagbow if zagbow had clockets

high island
#

Imagine needing a hammer to pierce enemies smh.

stone rune
#

imagine not having a 400 base damage strike every 1.5 seconds

glass adder
#

Hammer beats chaos right?

high island
high island
stone rune
#

generally never

#

because chaos is much rarer

glass adder
#

Got double strike with sword, so probably

stone rune
#

youโ€™ll get a hammer later

glass adder
#

Hmm

stone rune
#

while chaos only pops up like two or theee times a run organically

glass adder
#

Even if you buy chaos?

stone rune
#

ixion is great but is rng

#

some aspects just might not care about chaos much

#

those would take hammer

#

i think eris is one?

#

eris would only want special from chaos right

high island
#

Favor doesn't hurt either, but yeah pretty much.

#

It just depends a lot on what aspect you're using and what your build is now.

#

Other things being equal, Chaos Gate is a free chamber, so it'll save time.

#

If you don't have rerolls and/or very low on HP and DDs, then naturally Chaos Gate can be too risky.

stone rune
#

oh yeah

#

one time i had addled and bought ixion

#

i was so sad when i realized i was on 1hp

high island
#

Should have lost a DD in the encounter to get enough HP. dusa

stone rune
#

yeah

#

i would have had to time it well though

high island
#

Yeah, but that comes naturally if you're beautiful and talented.

stone rune
#

how hard actually is sub6

#

is this gonna be more like a 50 hour or a 250 hour ordeal

high island
#

I hope that helped clear things up.

glass adder
#

12 wins. I just found you can charm hades

#

Am i getting lucky with builds now or did i just get better?

I had Poseidon with rupture and some crazy combos with weak duos to deal more dmg

#

The duo bonus is better right?

Gods legacy vs pride

high island

Oh.

#

Gods' Pride usually.

glass adder
#

I've been playing with legacy and been getting crazy builds

#

Hm dashstrike with bow?

#

I rarely use it

#

I've been picking the second bow which deals lots of DMG with crit or hangover

high island
#

Yeah, on bow you wanna use Dash-Attacks instead of standing attacks like 99% of the time.

#

Charges a lot faster and gets bonus damage from Dash-Strike boons.

I have a question : I purchased all the furniture and stuff for the left wing in the palace but I don't have the check mark next to the title. Is it a bug?

silver mica
#

I think there's stuff that doesn't unlock unless you get certain stuff

#

So maybe you should focus on getting other stuff and eventually it'll come?

sour fog
#

yeah if you don't have checkmark you're missing stuff that's not visible yet

cobalt ibex

Ok. I didn't purchase all the stuff in the hall though, wait and see.

Been a while since I've seen u sweetie.

Pretty normal to forget to use summons at first lol.

This is absolutely not my run

When would u pick Athena Cast?

Athena cast is good on everything

native blade
#

Well yeah, but when would you prioritise is.

#

Over another cast for instance.

silver mica
#

Yeah that was stupid

#

I lost a life and a half to a green stone that got pushed out of range for my sword

#

Through a wall in a styx big chamber

#

And today I learned that if I stand right up against the wall and hug the five beams being fired at me I can through my bloodstones at it

#

And slowly take its like and wait for my stones to drop out of it and return to me

I feel like most people got carried to their first win by a single boon/hammer upgrade but I think I had the weirdest one.

silver mica
#

Mine was stubborn roots for the first one I think

warm wren
#

My carry to my first win was Hazard Bomb, worst part, I was using the aspect where you have to stand in your explosive to get a damage buff. I made my aspect useless.

silver mica
#

I didn't know you could still get that hammer

warm wren
#

But it worked cause my Q did 447 damage.

silver mica
#

With that aspect

warm wren
#

Is first escape on attempt 15 at least average?

i think average is like about 50 lmao

not like it really matters tho

Or was it something else?

Even with hazard bomb, youโ€™d still stand in your special because itโ€™s a very low amount of damage

Does the ares cast passives apply on his call?

i know the legendary is bugged in some way that not every rift actually gets the buff correctly

the one that slightly increases the time i doubt would work

the one where it kinda sucks them in i would assume work

white path

Plot twist: those two are both the same one

Both the wider one and the longer + pull in one have aid as a prerequisite so I assume both must work

TFW you start a run with a god's keepsake only for them to show up precisely twice; in room 1 and in room 50

rustic vale
white path
#

and I started with poseidon's conch

mint coral
#

Yeaah that explains a bit lol

white path
#

he has my one remaining fated boon

#

I heard if I force a 5th with a keepsake it kicks out the 1st

#

so I didn't do that

latent moon
#

that's not how that works

white path
#

am I wrong?
I thought you meant overfilled

latent moon
#

it just gets added

#

you end up with a 5 god pool instead of 4

mint coral
#

Also hermes doesnt count on the pool

#

He is built different

latent moon
#

so whenever a god that isn't hermes is offered on a door, you'll have a 1/5 instead of a 1/4 of finding the one you want

#

sometimes you see 1 god a lot, other times not at all

#

flashback to the time i got like 3 arty doors in a row in elysium but didn't get mirage shot in any of them

does splitting bolt affect scintillating feast?

you never want to use fated authority unless it's a meme run

#

So on his second boon I can swap things that aren't the tier 2 boons

mint hatch
latent moon
#

although you should consider filling cores for reasons

mint coral
latent moon
#

(1) If all priority slots (i.e., Attack, Special, Cast, and Dash) are empty, fill all three slots with priority boons,
(2) if an exchange is possible, 10% chance to add an exchange to one free slot,
(3) if 2 fails and there are free priority slots, add one priority boon to one slot,
(4) 50% chance to add a tier 2 status curse (i.e., Jolted, Marked, Rupture, or Exposed) to one slot if boon requirements are met,
(5) roll for legendary/duo for each remaining slot,
(6) roll for epic for each remaining slot,
(7) roll for rare for each remaining slot,
(8) fill all remaining slots with common,
(9) fill all remaining slots with whatever is available.

well

not necessarily ifnal

that's why you should just take a cast

dont

that's worse

if you get ares in your pool ever you will instantly die

i hope Hephaestus shows up in 2

high island
# limber ether what does that mean?

It means that so long as there's reasonable evidence in the submitted video that the run was done in a single attempt (without retrying combat chambers or anything like that), the submission is legal on the high heat leaderboard.

#

And that supersedes the rules I outlined above in case there's a conflict.

So I've been saving diamonds for the Erebus Gate

#

But Asterius gave me a chance to unlock the Gilgamesh Aspect.

lone sable
#

I dont see how the 2 things are related

manic vine
#

I was going to save up for it, but I really want those paws. I love using fists

silver mica

Assuming they mean use diamonds for titan blood

lone sable
#

Its not worth it

stone rune

donโ€™t waste your blood lol

silver mica
#

In which case save it

stone rune
#

worst aspect in the game

lone sable
#

You can get titan blood more easily

manic vine

So basically "Save up and get better?"

stone rune
#

save up and never unlock gilga

lone sable
#

Btw gilgamesh works very differently from the actual fists

manic vine
#

Good to know.

lone sable
#

P sure the sword has faster attack speed than gilgamesh

stone rune

gilga is like

what if you

manic vine

I'll just get better with the bow or sword. I'm trash with those.

silver mica

It's only usable with swift strike

And that's in regards to speed

#

Not damage

latent moon

there's a tech with gilga + explosive upper where you can meg and then maim both heroes so that they take massive damage from meg

manic vine
#

Doing a hera run with Aphro on cast. I have A hammer door, a demeter door and a Chaos Rift. Do I just get the hammer?

latent moon
#

hera doesn't really need hammers tbh

manic vine
#

True.

latent moon
#

if you dont want to take chaos, i'd take demeter

latent moon
#

dad call is typical for ME builds

manic vine
#

I still got the hammer after the Chaos boon lol

#

All 3 for the Prophecy; we got Flurry Shot, Piercing Volley and Twin Shot

stone rune
#

id say flurry

#

but is it actually good if you r new

#

r u on kbm or gamepad

manic vine
#

Wait, does twin give the cast to only one shot?

#

Pure keyboard.

stone rune
#

oh yeah probably ummmmm donโ€™t take flurry lmfao

#

well twin is still really just one shot

lone sable
#

Iirc twin isnt compatible with hera

stone rune
#

twin is probably your best there unless youโ€™re comfortable with flurry

manic vine
#

Well damn, I got a kinda bad hammer.

stone rune
#

it is lmfao

lone sable
#

Mb then

manic vine
#

I'll try flurry.

latent moon
# manic vine I'll try flurry.

flurry is difficult to get the hang of, esp on kbm
twin is the next best because you'll just boost your initial attack

#

the loss of range isn't a big deal because you want to be relatively close to your enemies anyways

latent moon
#

based bad zag bow

manic vine
#

I love it

#

Got the chaos boon for an extra cast as well

latent moon
#

gaming

manic vine
#

It's privileged status + 4 crush shots to the face I'll be fine for a bit

latent moon
#

should be fine through the whole run tbh

#

assuming you get enough poms

#

just get snow burst from demeter and you'll be set

#

also classic hyper delivery

stone rune
#

donโ€™t load all casts each enemy

latent moon
#

i mean you can

#

it's just not fast lol

manic vine
#

I don't load all in one enemy

#

I load 1 or 2, then attack

#

It's practically me spamming 2 keys until I'm out of casts.

#

Hermes the legend also gave me Epic Quick Reload

#

This is a run just to get better with the bow why is this kinda good

stone rune
#

if u wanna get better at the core of bow do zagbow probably, hera functions a lot differently

latent moon
manic vine
#

Should have, but ehhh i'm already on a run. I'll try it if I die.

high island
# limber ether so just like as long as I get the whole run in and don't save and exit to undo e...

You're trying to interpret that rule a lot more specifically than it's written.

We need to have evidence that proves to any reasonable person that the run was doing in a single attempt. So yes, exiting to undo errors isn't allowed.

Beyond that, I deliberately didn't specify what constitutes reasonable evidence so as for the rule to be broadly applicable.

If you wish to submit a run, make a continuous video of the run as I outlined above that. If there are any accidents in the recording but the whole run was one single attempt, you can contact me or Tailesque and we'll look into whether the video you have of it is good enough as evidence.

glass adder
#

Maybe is shoul do em4 to get used to the bosses ๐Ÿค”

high island
#

As one example, I was asked previously by someone if they can stop/pause the recording when they take a break and continue the recording later when they play again. This depends entirely on whether we can still judge that it is clearly the same run.

For example, if you enter a chamber and immediately pause without moving and pause the recording and later continue from there... This is not clear evidence because it's too easy to stitch together recordings from different attempts in this way.

But if the pause instead was in the middle of combat, this would most likely be good enough evidence for us because you couldn't just stitch together multiple attempts like that.

manic vine
#

I'm getting snacks and sleeping. I'm taking my win where I can get it because I'm still garbo.

high island
#

You're between biomes, you pick a keepsake, regret your decision, quit out and reload and pick a different keepsake... This is not allowed.

You're between biomes, you accidentally quit out, you reload and don't do anything different. This would be allowed if we can judge it was an accident and that it had no effect on the run.

Bullrush counts as cast?

If bonuses from cast boons apply to it
