ah but whatever it's not a big deal anyways
anyway
ill see you soon
yeah cool
do you ever get something from the hammer and then instantly regret it 😐
worst choice of my life
mostly only when I test things I don't know about
gahh
I bet I can guess which hammer it is based off the weapon
gun
Triple shot is one of the best bow hammers
bow is a melee aspect anyways
Triple Shot and Twin Shot literally the best bow hammers. 
tho at least if you dont like triple just keep shooting from afar
treat the other 2 arrows as a bonus
but also triple dmg good
time to actually test and see how good this build is anyways
gotta level up my zeus keepsake anyways
forgot to switch out to family favorite lol but uh I think I got lucky with a chaos boon so I'm not quitting this run
also hey second boon was an epic static discharge nice
is there a speedrun leaderboard for some of the more OP / popular duo boons / builds?
I wanna see the fastest merciful end run ever
Well
sort by aspect and look at dem fists wr ig
P sure
It’d either be ME or some crit build/smair and I’m leaning towards ME
oh jeez I now have 2 chaos boons that both increase my special damage
unm nem is ME
i never use special :(
well it depends what weapon/aspect you're on
at least on modded leaderboard is crit nem lmao
It really depends on the aspect you use for whether special is used
by :croven:
Every aspect is just hera but kind of different
every aspect is hestia but worse
Beo
=worse hestia
My beo has been quicker than hesty for a year and a half
well that's just strange
is it normal to get tired after like 8 runs in a row
yeah
play again tomorrow
what the hell
endurance through the pain 
ok now my special should deal about 4x the base damage
It's almost as if you've been playing the same game for like a couple hours straight
Get up and stretch or get food or something idk or just stop playing until tomorrow
i remember one night
i ground hestia for like 6 hours
and by the end my rotation was noticeably worse
dont think i made it out of tart either
you're the first person who says grind in past tense terms of in a video game as ground lol (not a bad thing btw)
yeah!
wait no


commit rest 🔫
I suspect Merciful End Nemesis will have some difficulty keeping up with crits + Hunter's Mark in ideal conditions. And Heart Rend means you'll benefit even more from any Strike/Lunge and Well items.
Me and the boys ground a bunch of resources in Minecraft the other day
zagreus never sleeps! i wont!
Although it's probably still close.
THAN PLEASE OCME SEE ME SO I CAN STOP!!
why does he have a bed though
He's slept like once or twice hasn't he
cus hes a prince and he can do what he wants
it had lightning flourish
cursed build
blade dash too
Modded wr rn is borderline fds
Which spans over decades. 
Blade dash is blessed
Oh yeah that one.
red rd 
Red Delivery gud.
I will always love it because my first win was gilga blade dash
damn ended up using 2 death defiance on lernie, kinda sloppy ngl
I think I got an epic RD
No Lady Aphrodite boons bad.
That's why it's slower than Hera. Croven should have started Eternal Rose.
:3
Thunder flourish lowkey insane value here
needs more storm lightning
Hopefully I find that one depressed guy sitting alone for a death defiance replenish
patty will never appear when you need him
tell that to that time i had a 124 tart exit to losing all my dds in lernie to patty refill
to 630 
High rarity Thunder Flourish is good on sword anyway, just doesn't open up Heart Rend or Merciful End, so you don't see it as much.
needs more divine strike
wait who
OH
fr
( why do you call him that )
name too large
patroclus ??
That's his name
Only Achilles would call him Patty
Its 9 letters
Patty cake
Nicknames can be for fun too y'know
common nickname moment
i also still dont remember the name of the dude who hangs out with 
sisyphus
hes a bastard
like i know it but im 100% misspelling it
shackle:
he deserves it!

Why he has the best boons, best gifts, best summon
what
also ok so
he literally gives it to you
i know
anyway
why does bouldy have 2 eyes from the hands of sisyphus
but
what the hell is his nose
used to be bowling ball for guy with two fingers
dont question 
It's his thumb
I never considered him molding bouldy like clay
Is bouldy a liquid?
welcome to the house of hades!
hes so cute
i mean like
the grand canyon or whatever was from water
sisyphus has been doing that thing for a good few thousand years probably
also what rarity is rare crop
tidal dash, demeter special, zeus attack, pressure points, mark and support fire
oh you're not hitting anything
also a few hermes boons
rare crop cant hit those
is this eris
nah demeter
i love some soup
im bad with it but it should be fine?
Well I got rupture on it so uh yeah I guess it worked out
things come to worst you still can just dash only it
dont you push your enemies away
giggles
dear god that's some fds
shades are fun
Take it for prophecy, sure.
fun fact
epic rare crop actually has priority to appear but only if you have only 1 boon
Ehhh... It prevents you from landing Dash-Uppers unless you dash them into a wall pretty much.
have you gotten to c30
what
chamber 30
It's still Tidal Dash, though.
??
i love cows
yeah
that should be the earliest place where you have a chance of seeing than
hes just NOT SHOWING UP
if you've seen alecto and tis
HOW DO I GET THEM
rng
spaghettios
id rather die
something wrong with you
oh btw how is swift strike calculated in game
this feels way faster than just a simple 30% attack speed increase
i dont take swift strike enough to know
it feels like a machine gun but for the arms rn lol
I had a swift flourish hades explosive skewer run the other day
Thing shot faster than a bow
So I just set up my weak with spin, sets up the debuff and heart rend
It speeds up both the animation speed and the intervals inbetween attacks
cold fusion seems interesting perhaps I should take it
oh so thats why
Cold fusion isnt good usually
so its a 1.3*1.3 times attack speed buff in reality
Mainly useful when your source of lightning isn’t something you’re hitting with often
cold fusion more like em3 begone
Yeah
I think it’s more of a 1.3/.7
right.....
But I may have it wrong
I guess I'll pass
prophecy always a nice thing
Or zap dash or lightning reflexes
Cold fusion is largely useless when lightning tends to be your main source of damage most of the time
No, it's 1.3x precisely. 
Otherwise it's still just ok
k either way its still a lot faster than the number would seem to suggest
The heroic swift strike zag sword w/ flurry slash clip seems to be counter to that
flurry doesn't have a delay
There is no way that is only 40% more
wasn't it level 10
Tbh my favorite fists now might be Talos

idk if this would
but if you still have codex mod installed
see if pom makes it +1
but also
40% is a big number
Perhaps you're underestimating 40% attack speed. 
I’ve used flurry with zag and common swift strike
The jump can’t be that much and only a difference of 30%
yes it can
It can and is
300% difference there
every moment that im not playing hades i am wishing i was playing hades
" take a break " and do WHAT
Well, just don't put the game over your own health. 
I thought swift flourish reduces attack cooldown instead of granting attack speed
HADES IS MY HEALTH
doesnt swift strike make standing bow charge faster
if my boyfriend doesnt propose with a laurel im not marrying him
https://imgur.com/a/bk8r721 I guess this is the end for me
I learnt a lot of things this run though so I'm still very happy with it
Not necessarily
Just reduce his hp to 0 while keeping yours above 0
You have infinite time so you can play it safe
yeah, too late for that now
just switched to family favorite, probably gonna try this same build again
was a lot of fun
Most important is swapping from Olympian Favor to Dark Foresight.
wait why
Dark Foresight is broken in all the good ways.
welp, better respec
I've got 35 keys anyways
I start off with one less fated persuasion but thats not a big deal
dark foresight maxed is way more value then one more roll imo
yep well it is maxed out
You could literally just have Chthonic Vitatility, DDs, Greater Reflex, and Dark Foresight maxed and nothing else and it'd be stronger than your previous mirror. 
oh nah i maxed out all the purple upgrades before I did rolls
I am just saying that just those three with Dark Foresight maxed is already stronger than your previous config.
also dark foresight family favorite and god's legacy
yep
Rerolls can be bought back easily enough anyways
Usually Gods' Pride is a bit better than Gods' Legacy.
just beat hades a bajillion times on the same heat
You can find two great mirror guides pinned in #h1-for-new-players btw.
k
ok
what the hell is with these unarmored witches
did i turn on js3 or soemthing
omg
numbskulls
did i do something wrong to be punished with this
Yes
i love numbskulls :(
i love armored numbskulls that are all spawned when you enter the room and are pleasantly clumped together for my flaring pleasure
crunchy noises
i do not like individually spawning numbskulls in giant rooms which each take an attack to kill
enter c12: 122
enter c13: 156
I just killed ||hades || without taking any damage. Only lost acorn.
Hera bow so op
I also had smoldering air with Zeus aid
Wait do I even need spoiler tags here
Nope
hera moment
I literally only have runs completed with bow
I’m up to heat 8
How do I unlock the fourth aspect on bow btw?
check #h1-story-discussion pins
Thanks
Hello everyone- does anyone know of hades roleplay servers, or if that’s done in this server at all? Thanks (:
I don’t think there is one actually, you could make one.
using arthuh sword is annoying fr
the 200 damage is good but like
you're so damn slow
Omg… maybe I will
NOOOOO I didn’t know 😭
I got told to watch my language
What I tried to say is, I like the aspect on the sword that dislodges cast from foes, that is NASTY with Artemis’ true shot. So nasty
I love Poseidon Aspect users, there's not alot of them.
I wanna see them play some time.
Brooo I should stream, that’s the only aspect I use with Stygius
Aspect of Chiron is my go to for Coronacht
I’m a Zagreus Aspect for Varatha, Aegis and Exagryph. I don’t like any of the others
I never tried it.
Damn, based.
HESTIA💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪
hest is good, but
i don't care
i dont want to reload my gun for big damage
i just wanna hold for fun
well i guess the game decided i should have 4 random god's boons all in tartarus
lets see what cursed monstrosity it creates
Nice.
this kind of message is not appropriate for the server according to rule 2, please avoid mentioning this kind of thing in the future and be more mindful of your messages
aww
pos aspect is when you want to play sword without using sword lmao
eye emoji
what was that
bro did the hair swipe
and then it cam beack
god hair
his hair has no blood in there
in the trailer at least
He constantly falls into a river of blood and never showers. For millions of years.
maybe it's slightly cleaner blood
also every time he dies
he respawns
but not his filth
Yeah its the Platonic ideal of blood
so he actually gets cleaned before bathed with blood
and then blood just falls off for whatever reason
unrealistic
He should be filthy
Bad game
Plot hole
Hades is supposed to be a roguelite about doing other stuff than just fighting and you can't even shower what is this it's so unrealistic
omg ye!1!!!
also should i get gilgameshu on my main
If you like fists sure. It scales better with dash boons. You can do dash boon centric builds. Easiest is tidal dash.
Basically just try to get a rare or epic one and pom it a lot and avoid other boons that dont boost its dmg, so you dont waste poms
Go down the Poseidon boon line and maybe get the Legendary for fun
Get Zeus attack for Sea Storm lol
Dont even need maim. It's a dash boon build.
Upside: hammers dont matter
You should also take less dmg
nice
finally: is guan y worth it
No, it's just spiky anime hair logic.
No hair gel needed.
Worth it only if you max it.
unrealistic
it does not look this cool ingame
true
lol
hey everyone!!
hiya
does anyone else not really pay attention to builds or what works with what etc. and they just sort of pick whatever seems the best/most fun? i play all my games like that and i always wonder if I'm missing out on something by not being more strategic lol
are u pre first hades kill or post?
post, I've cleared 4 runs so far (30 something ish in total)
I'm mostly asking this just out of curiosity
I'm not having many difficulties with the game YET but the higher heat does frighten me 😅
nice but u do have to learn how to build if u want to do ||high heat||
yeah i figured as much hahaha it all just sometimes seems a bit too overwhelming, but maybe if i just take it slow and try stuff out it'll start making more sense
yeah
btw fists combine quite well with ice lady
cold stacks go brrrrrr
I always try to play most of a game before going online
ohh haha ok I'll keep that in mind 😁
actually 2/4 of the runs I've cleared i did so with the fists
which is weird cause they're not really my fave
in my current run i have her on attack and dash with the 10 stack damage thing 
but so far I've only been picking whichever weapon gives meore darkness+gems hahaha
good
yeah that seems the best way to do it honestly, just experience it for yourself without any outside input
i realy wonder how powerful the hidden aspect from the fist is
oh yeah, how do I uncover those hidden aspects? is it just through story progression or
it can be fun but general consensus is it's not great
there's a guide about hidden aspects pinned in story discussion but you'll get there just by plying
ohhh okay cool, thanks!
Paying attention to builds and picking what's best are basically the same thing. 
hahaha i want to believe that, but I think that sometimes my definition of what's "best" isnt that... objective 😂
Well, that just means there's more to learn still and experiment with. 
there is also god mode if ur stuck and want to progress the story (i dont sugest u do though)
i only found out about it after 90+ runs
oh yeah I've been playing on it 😅 I love video games but i can't stand super challenging stuff, like when a game just makes me frustrated
so I usually always play games on easy mode, if there is one hahaha
and i mean even with 50% on god mode i still find myself struggling sometimes
so i don't feel like I'm missing out on the suffering 😂
When I started playing back in early access, we were basically inventing the meta as we went. Nowadays is very different. Newer players with guidance from vets can get much stronger builds more consistently than we did back then.
m the opposite pretty much. I start new games on the highest difficulty a lot of the time lol.
my ex was the same 😂 he played fallout on the highest difficulty, and would get so angry every time he died and i just could not understand the point of that 😅
but hey i mean we all play how we wanna, that's the point of games basically
well some people like a challenge
there's a reason some people choose Doom Eternal and some people choose Cookie Clicker
it's preference
yeah for sure! as long as no ones bashing others for their choice it's all good
Yeah I know. The former wants their fingers intact and the latter doesn't. 😏
priorities 😂
Well it's a trade off
Fingers for Brains
or Brains for Fingers
cuz doom eternal is like a blitz strategy game in an incredibly fast shooter
and cookie clicker requires you to set cps records
yeah different strokes for different folks
most other games like Hades I'd never even touch, but for some reason this one just pulled me in and now i cannot escape
...no pun intended
😁
not a pun
hades the game is not hell
escaping is, however, a ZAGREUS REFERENCE
you should pirate and play Dead Cells
pretty good game too
hades better though
yeah I've heard about it
why do you suggest pirating it?
not that I'm opposed to it lol
just wondering
no monye
hahaha yeah that is understandable
lol thanks
similarly
i spent around 7 hours
finding and pirating other games
wait
i should not be saying this in the hades server
hahaha yeah idk how other people feel about pirating
i love supporting game devs (as long as they're good lol) but sometimes games are just way too expensive
so I usually just wait for sales
Same steam sale just do that to people increase the price of games but have incredible sales
Promoting software piracy violates Discord Community Guidelines and can result in your account getting banned from Discord. 
I mean I highly doubt anyone's getting banned for it
but also you don't have to be rich, you just have to not steal lmao
(not saying I don't pirate stuff)
Lest I risk actually getting banned I will not comment further on this 🤐😂
That also applies to music piracy and all that, naturally. 

Yes
what's a good build for it
and why is nearly all the hiddens heavy weapons
Flood flare +lots of poms + mirage shot
slicing flare
no idea what the hell that is but ok
Flood flare is poseidons cast
oh
Mirage shot is poseidon Artemis duo
finally, jazz not straight up hating on beo for 3 messages straight
it sucks
awful
there we go
Alternatively you could go aphrodites cast + snow burst from Beowulf
just use hestia
there it is
new snurst god
You always want loads of poms on your cast since it scales so well with them
okeh
@stone rune you were right beo is slow af
so clunky
dash+castcharge?
whenever i charge i gotta stand still for like
3 seconds?
it's annoying af
why are you standing still for 3 seconds
because I was holding leftclick
to charge
as it said
do min charge
that requires actual skill
no it doesnt
like minimal skill (that i do not have)
i play on godmode with 70% res 50% of the time
what do you expect
do i use trippy shot
does that work as well
cuz sheer damage
you can easily do more than that
Can i say that my favorite god of all is Ares ?
EXCUSE YOU
ares is kinda psychopathic
god of dealing yes damage actually
doom sucks
blade shot stacking doesn't
you need either merciful end or hunting blades
Plus with the good stuff is perfect
tbh doom sucks i like bladerift spam only
aspect of gilgamesh gives a free doom effect with special and dam
exactly
aspect of gilgamesh is also slow
it gives a free HL2.5 to your enemies
however the 400 is worth it probably
nope
if you so cowardly run in, dash strikes, and run out
That’s literally like 3 poms on Beowulf lol
making a slow weapon somehow slower than it should be
dash strikes dealing 20 damage each:
funny!1!!
is it just me or does gilga dash feel like they have shorter range
dam
it is just you... and everyone else, and the game too
Gilgamesh is easily a contender for worst aspect in the game. 
hi nyanyaa
whaat about guanyu
sad
severely underdeserved for that guy
guan yu is good
I don't mind max level guanyu it is really nice
ok but like it's underwhelming
it does good damage with good aoe
level 1 guanyu tho now that sucks
shield is fun.
hey d'you suppose melinoe can use zag aspects in the next game
I am not sure i am not even sure if the setting is in hell cuz the environment looked different
I mean they can come back for sure
and they can add more stuff
they come from the same household
pretty sure they've seen each other at some point
idk man
maybe melinoe will go "i see my broda" and then some aspect reveals itself
Not nearly
rama special shoots 3 arrows right
3
if you hit an enemy with 1 or 2 arrows with dc2 does it still apply shared suffering
Yeah I think so
i wonder
if it shot 2 arrows
could you make a case for taking dc2 in speedruns to do fiery + shared suffering damage
no that's silly
Sitting here on this arty boon, doing a Merciful End run with Fists, Demeter aspect.
Do I get True Shot, Clean Kill or Support Fire?
support fire
Was thinking that
Kinetic Launcher or Explosive Upper?
first or second hammer
2nd
what was your first
Breaching Cross
zag sword
what
both are good
i'd take kinetic launcher because it's fun, explosive upper might be better
let me see
i think either works
yeah they're about the same
So it's down to which is more fun
gilga is def worse than zagsword
I think this is what settles it
if i have zeus attack creating 10 damage on hit, and take cyclops jerky, does the lightning damage also get buffed by it?
Do specials apply to the damage area in Explosive Upper?
no
wdym
The boons
well yeah
If you already have merciful end, take true shot
Deadly reversal is great with ME
.
Lol
well support fire still good
Yeah
Chances are I'll find her again
Support fire is fine but also criting on doom procs kinda good
just get lvl98 pp
True
Well it's fine because you wouldn't have gotten the duo anyways lmao
Unless you saw athena
Then whoops
Athena's there
I'll just slap aphro on cast and call it quits.
Lmao sure
I grabbed Herme's legendary SPECIFICALLY FOR TRUE SHOT
I'm sad but what can I do about it
Rip
Well I'm bored so I'm gonna max out my heat and see how bad that is
support fire is always good
It's aight
the lower base damage your attacks deal the better it gets
especially on fists or rail because their base damage is really low
after gifting Meg and getting her compqnion, what does gifting her do?
build up relationship also more dialogue
so is there basically any point in gifting ambriosia to her?
from a gameplay perspective no from a story perspective yes
Story
That's fair, wouldn't take it on rail unless it's luci tho
okay ty
Messing up fiery presence can suck
it’s on hit for special and atk
Only if they're full hp isn't it
Well yeah
oh can it go to others
i thtought itd default to whoever you hit
I'm pretty sure it can go to others
prob can
well i thought it would default to them and if they died then itd go somewhere else
i've never actually used fiery presence before
it is good
Yeah probably
Would mess up hestia a lot I would assume
it’s seeking fire tier bonus
Fiery is used most of the time over shadow
and opens something from arty doesnt it
Fully loaded lmao
yeah I think I can see why now
is this from the olympus extra mod or something
Yes
there are Hades mods?
Well it's mostly because trying to get backstabs is too much of a pain to fish for
And the first hit for many weapons matters a lot
also you can't really backstab on a status effect too right?
yeah so it seems less useful than you'd think initially
Only attacks, some specials (some specials can’t), and casts if you get parting shot
ok I'll swap it out then
Fiery presence is better because killing regular enemies in less hits consistently >>> semiconsistent boss dps boost
i love going afk in zag's room while my profile is than themed
its a 75% damage boost right?
like yes im in his room 🫣
+75% additive damage yeah
On the first attack or special that hits them
aren't all the damage boosts in hades additive?
All save for crits
and in the same vien, a base damage boost isn’t additive with all the regular damage boosts
you can't really get any base damage boosts other than from hammers though right?
That's solid
aight
Styx you mean?
Have you gotten through it?
Yeah
damn butterflies got me BEAT
i know
just wanna complain
is the 20% darkness actually good
cause i havent noticed a difference
It’s… fine
😐
If you’re grinding specifically darkness/gemstones it’s better to just use the weapon you’re best with
wonderful! thank youu~
Unless you’re about the same amount of good with every weapon
im not
As the speed of your clear and ability to consistently kill bosses for darkness is going a lot further
:3 i love this game
then the +20% boost on a weapon you aren’t as good on
Also you can get way more of a boost from poseidon or chaos
yup
You can get a like 65% darkness boost and it applies to obols too
Which is really nice
You’ll become one
i love chaos's character.
They get better with better rarity and more niche builds
mm thanks
No
+1 cast stone is amazing
Chaos is always good
im gonna run <3 @ me if im needed
It doesn’t matter what build it is, you’d practically always want chaos when you see them
I'm just saying 90% special dmg is amazing
Especially because it’s a free room
*them
its ok :)
but yes, chaos is always value, practically speaking there are a few subjective times where you wouldn’t take him over the room options
nothing is sadder than hearing than's keepsake lose power 😭
chaos you might not take on like ME builds
yeah I mean the flat damage soup builds can’t use him as well but even then it’s a free room
i hope than likes fish :3
even on beo if you get a c2 chaos with hammer start you still wont be cshotting thugs
So hammers, hermes, story rooms, maybe specific gods to get crucial boons like static discharge, midshops
Which build is it?
…
whatever im feelin
What do you have
probably pom
okie
pom
pom pom!! yippe
ares sucks most of the time when you don't have a lot of god keepsakes
because both of his builds pretty much entirely revolve around a duo
ares isn’t doing much outside of ME, hunting blades and if you natural him on hangover builds
zap dash
okie
with zap dash you should take another zeus if you see him again unless you want the other reward
because static discharge is big
what weapon are you using
static discharge, double strike, or thunder flourish
static discharge
okk
aegis
Aphrodite ideally
what's the other % god that isn't the othe rone
Athena and dem otherwise
i havent met dem yet
oki
take that room and then take their attack
Artemis isn’t too great on things that aren’t nem or zag bow
thanks
Poseidon is synergy with the shields innate knockback
and you can get pulv blow or dashing wallop
Generally you don’t take poseidon for his attack or special because of the knockback but since shield has innate knockback you could double down
low % though
Wallslam damage is affected somewhat by velocity iirc
if you have to it's fine but the others are preferable
this static discharge puttin in WORK
jolted is cracked
static discharge is the best zeus support boon
fine if you need it
eventually that becomes obols
okay
coin is better once you stop needing it so direly
yeahh later on
hp is only really if you need it ig
around 60
50-70
oh that's not bad
do you have all your dds
but i cant tell if its rng or if it ACTUALLY lowers everytime u pick it
my what
death defiances
It doesn’t lower each time
ok
i odn know
rng spread
i gotta
they max at 3
I take it every so often now because I still got like 167k darkness to go for unseen one
😵💫
Your main objective rn is getting 3 death defiances then
how much even is unseen one
oh is that the final rank
Like 12.5k by itself
total
But in total getting there is like 365k?
the mirror priority should be like
thick skin is important
2nd dash is the biggest one
ok im gonna finish tartarus
like 2nd dash is huge
yeah
literal insanity
😨 did sisyphus just flirt with me
do you have the green mirror yet
i doNT KNOW
like can you flip them
cool
can we go back to this tho what the hell
bro just
" thats it 😏 let it all out "
?? EXCUSE ME?
go back to ur boulder you NASTY
why does sis act so nice
did hell humble him
because he's nice
opens the story book
points
NO THE HELL HE IS NOT
5th or 6th best keepsake
Sisyphus is based af
1st
Yeah
skill issue
:(
Than came because it was sisyphus time to die, sisyphus kidnapped than instead, people stopped dying, big issue
he isn’t
Chad Sisyphus
im gonna scream
no big deal
He just decided to kidnap death so he would die
