I make sure it’s that picture in particular everytime someone brings it up

narrow hemlock
#

no such thing here, for the record. direct image uploads are only allowed in the art channels and #h1-victory-boasting. link embeds remain on though, so direct links to an image hosted elsewhere will embed the thumbnail. just don't spam those, the bot will mute you for it

strong dune

oh i c

narrow hemlock
#

sounds kinda redundant but doing it that way catches the spammers

stone rune
narrow hemlock
#

dyno is trying its best 😔

#

i think its also quite dependant on how short the time span is in successive posts, too quickly may ping the bot

stone rune
#

yea it mostly happens when i post two pomscaling graphs

normal marlin
#

can you only have 2 revenge boons at a time?

normal marlin
#

I must've gotten really unlucky

#

I had heaven's vengeance and wave of despair
I got so many ares boons but never got offered curse of vengeance

#

and I had vengeful mood too

#

revenge only build

#

I got an idea

#

I'm gonna only get centaur hearts if I can

#

even if I have to take it over a hammer

calm zenith
#

Haelian has a revenge boon build

#

Got like 5 or 6

#

And vengeful mood

#

It also requires specific "routing" of sorts.

stone rune
#

pretty sure there's only 5

#

and i think he didn't get athena's

calm zenith
#

You would either need to accidentally get a lot more gods than usual, or force it

stone rune
#

aph ares zeus athena and soemone else

calm zenith
#

Ah

stone rune
#

oh

#

nvm

#

not frolm dem

#

dem is uselss

#

so littled dmg

calm zenith
#

Havent seen it in a bit

#

The 10 chill stacks is pretty good tbh

#

But yeah meh boon

stone rune
#

on vengeance only it sucks

#

5 damage zagWow

calm zenith
#

Yeah

stone rune
#

i wonder if you go for greater delivery

#

oih nvm

calm zenith
#

Just it translates to basically "enemies that hit you get slowed a lot"

stone rune
#

wait

calm zenith
#

Still not great. Not a dmg source without blast

stone rune
#

maybe greater delivery boost would be more than the boost frolm survivability

calm zenith
#

Meanwhile HV does heavy work on several enemies

#

And applies Jolted on all

#

Revenge boon only is pretty hard to do. I'm also fairly certain he almost died.

#

Might have been em4

stone rune
#

he did n ormal and then em4 like a year or two later

calm zenith
#

Yeah I might have only seen em4 then

#

Your best boon is HV so just pom that and Static Discharge

#

Probably pray you get Splitting Bolt idk

#

Vengeful Mood is hardly doing anything

#

You could technically do ME and it would be kinda good

stone rune
calm zenith
#

It requires a specific order that I forget though

#

Its triggering every few S

stone rune
#

3 seconds

calm zenith
#

You're getting hit more than that

stone rune
#

no youre not

#

watcht he video

#

dad slow as hell

calm zenith
#

In em4 he got hit a lot

#

Fair though

It's weird some Gods dont have one.
Artemis: shoot a number of homing arrows based on boon rarity
Dio: hangover burst like the dash
Poseidon: tdash 2.0

royal widget
#

arty would be like 1.5x the damage of support fire

#

damage scaling as support fire

#

and arrows by rarity

#

dio sounds easy as does poseidon

latent moon
#

arty revenge is just reverse support fire

royal widget
#

defense fire

latent moon
#

dio revenge sounds like a great way to get hangover override lmao

#

pos revenge sounds weird in concept

royal widget
#

'damage enemies around you and knock them back'

#

duh

compact dawn
#

Jesus, fully upgraded Beowulf + Mirage Shot + Trippy Flare is insane

#

Straight up melting enemies

royal widget
#

yeah it's a great bug

compact dawn
#

Bug?

#

Pretty sure it's not a bug, just an OP build

royal widget
#

nope

#

mirage shot is bugged on beowulf to not have reduced damage

#

and trippy flare gets double the pom levels on beo

compact dawn
#

Oh

stone rune
#

yea

#

trippy beo is super duper powerfu

latent moon
#

i mean it'd be an okay build without the bugs lmao

stone rune
#

if u get the boons

#

well

#

if you get the boons and the stones

#

someone shoo me away i have homework due in 38 minnutes

latent moon

maybe faster with cshot idk

#

but like it'd be functionally the same as hera

ÑzagcryÑ

#

wtf

weak charm
#

man im trying to do a heart rend run right

#

and i finally get artemis

#

but the thing is, the other door is a daedalus hammer

#

funny heart rend build…or hammer…..

stone rune
#

artemis

#

hammer comes up later

weak charm
#

its gonna be really funny if heart rend is just not one of the available boons if i pick her door

#

update: heart rend was not one of the available boons

#

i just gave up a hammer for nothing lmao

#

did get the boon that fires an arrow with every hit though

#

pretty rad

latent moon
#

bruh i need 27 attempts and the admin room flashback to get access to it lmao

Also I forgot how much fun Rama is

I'm trying to max every weapon aspect

#

And just 100% the game in general without glitches

high wedge
#

Does + attack% affect bull rush

#

?

upbeat lodge
#

I think it affects the rush, but not... Oh wait. Probs not beo. Yea, I'm sure it does

daring yacht
#

I think it does but I think other things that affect basic attack are more finicky

high wedge
#

Yeah I mean for the Beowulf bull rush

#

Seems quite ambiguous

Okay 5th attempt

"extreme measurements" is hellish fr zagcry

#

zeus has some of the strongest

sour fog
#

just found an interesting rounding error, had cursed slash + life affirmation, heart from chamber gave me +14, heart from shop gave me +15 and boss tunnel gave me +29

rustic vale
#

it’s not a rounding error, more of the game just not willing to give you non-integer max hp

sour fog
#

I mean the fact that inshop gives 15 and room gives 14 is a rounding error

rustic vale
#

if you use guan-yu it’ll give you 12 then 13 hp

sour fog
#

as it's not consistent

rustic vale
#

It’s the game giving you the right amount

rustic vale
#

They aren’t cheaping out on you by taking the 1 hp away

sour fog
#

but two rooms back to back gave 14

rustic vale
#

yeah

#

It’s

#

Rounding your max hp for how your max hp exists in game but keeping the rounded off part in mind the next time it gives you max hp

#

So when you have guan-yu giving you -50% max hp

#

One heart will give you 12 and the next heart will give you 13

#

Rather then both hearts giving you 12.5

sour fog
#

that doesn't seem to be true, as I was 60, then after shop I was 75 (+15), then I got heart from room so I was 89 (+14), then next room heart I was 103 (+14)

rustic vale
#

You probably don’t have a straight -50%

#

So it isn’t giving you 14 -> 15 every time

#

Guan-yu’s a really ez example due to just being half

#

Cursed slash + life affirmation isn’t

#

Wait hold on forget it that is a rounding error I’m arguing the wrong thing with you

#

Even without life affirmation in account

#

Wait nevermind

#

I’m crazy

#

I mixed up -60% and -40% for a sefond

rustic vale
rustic vale
#

What rarity life affirmation

sour fog
#

I'm gonna pull out a calculator

#

epic

rustic vale
#

Essentially

sour fog
#

+42% it says

rustic vale
#

.4*1.42=.568

#

So you’re getting less then 15 but more then 14 max hp every time

#

But the game can’t give you non-integer max hp

#

It’s supposed to give you 14.2 max hp every time you pick up a heart but it’ll give you 15 every 5th heart to make for the .2’s that added up

#

If that makes any sense

sour fog
#

it does, but then I am not sure why the first heart was 15

#

I got two hearts before life affirm, so I was at 60, and then after life affirm first heart was from shop that was the 15 one

#

and then the two 14 ones came

#

and then the big one 29

rustic vale
#

I wonder if it rounded .568 up to .57 or something
Then it would be a rounding error

#

Which would result in 14.25 every heart

#

Making it be on a 4 heart cycle

#

And it may just start off giving you the rounded up hp and not taking into account the next 3 hearts worth added up

#

Which would make sense
15(14.25+.25*3) -> 14 -> 14 -> 29 (14+15)

sour fog
#

that might be it actually

#

interesting that it would frontload it like that tho

rustic vale
#

idk I don’t have an eye into the code

#

but it may just round the max hp up in your favour

#

Then add the rest of it up in the background

calm zenith
#

Usually aiming for a multiple of 5

empty jay

how do i unlock upgrading weapons? i get a different answer everywhere on google for some reason lol

any way to somehow up the chance of thanatos appearing in the lounge via mods or by editing one of the lua files in scripts? this mf has shown up only two-three times and is one of the only things preventing me from getting all companions

my hearts with him are 2 , meanwhile ive maxed everyone else

which fish is above the gupp?

devout karma
#

only for me to not be able to talk to him in the lounge because he was having a chat with his brother

rustic vale
#

Well

#

I said “in the lounge” but it really should’ve been “in the house of Hades”

#

My b

strong dune
rustic vale
#

I mean it’s cheaper

#

Then usual

#

So it’s a fair trade

calm zenith
#

Yeah keys are the least useful resource

#

You would need like idk, 45 keys to buy 1 titan blood usually

#

67% off titan blood for the worst resource, in other words

#

(Correct my math if I'm wrong idr the keys => nectar conversion)

rustic vale
calm zenith
#

Probably yeah

#

Not all deals there are great but thats probably one of the best you can get.

rustic vale
#

Wait no it’s like 100 according to wiki now that I double check myself

#

That’s super sus

calm zenith
#

Damn

rustic vale
#

Wait it makes sense

#

1 blood *1 (ambrosia trade)* 2(diamond trade)*10(nectar)*5(keys)

#

2*5*10=10*10=100

calm zenith
#

Btw is drunken dash really that good? Like how would a low tolerance build do?

#

On gilga ofc

rustic vale
#

Idk

#

I have a ton of victory screens with it so

calm zenith
#

I can see its potential with poms

#

It also pulses like 3 times

rustic vale
#

Actually just straight up too many victory screens with it

calm zenith
#

So that's 9(12) stacks of hangover with gilga

rustic vale
#

I’ve sent so many images it’d be hard to dig them back up now

calm zenith
#

Boost the hangover dmg with maim, aphro special

#

Fair yeah

#

I should try it

#

I am done my other game kinda...

raw herald
#

Drunken dash kinda sucks imo

#

Such low damage

calm zenith
#

It poms well

#

Like any hangover

#

Not the best hangover scaling but its hangover scaling

raw herald
#

My first 50 heat 💪

calm zenith
#

Then rending claw for +50% dmg on it

#

Maybe get the hangover = slow boon. I never see it though.

#

Seems fun at least

#

Maybe Bad Influence appears

rustic vale
#

it actually doesn’t

calm zenith
#

I dont take it much tbf

rustic vale
#

it’s the only hangover core that doesn’t have a boosted first pom

calm zenith
#

Usually dio has an unpommable you ca take

#

Weird.

#

Still want to see

#

Plus relentless rush is boosting it

#

I can totally boost the hell out of it

calm zenith
#

Gilga once again making the worst boons good

rustic vale
#

Zag rail making the best boons good dusa

#

Zag bow making the best boons better

calm zenith
#

Best boons are shackle

rustic vale
#

I mean

#

Back then I was shackle best boon

#

I have over 24 victory screens using shackle which is too many

calm zenith
#

I'm gonna force an epic drdash so hopefully that scales better than 11 at 9

#

Then again it pulses 3 times

#

Maybe gilga is the wrong aspect but maim kinda helps

#

Demeter would work but that's not dash focused

calm zenith
#

That's so weird

rustic vale
calm zenith
#

Athena on Lucifer is such a niche

#

Yeah true

rustic vale
calm zenith
#

Sea Storm is my favorite though tbf

#

You get a high % special with auto detecting bolts

#

I think it makes more sense with how Luci plays on controller

#

Or how I do it.

#

With triple bomb especially you just fling them out to appropriate nearby enemies. You have less aim and a bit of a delay due to the aiming

#

So the bolt activating the special chain upon hitting an enemy is kinda important

#

Then again it isn't a good build before sea storm

#

Your specials just knock enemies away from them

#

Luci is just tough starting off though

#

What about ME Luci with Athena special and triple bomb?

rustic vale
#

The bulk of your damage is still coming from the special

calm zenith
#

Attack hit > trigger special > deflect > attack hit > other special > attack hit etc

#

True

#

That's why I just like the sea storm build

#

You can just rely on Zeus attack for tart anyway

rustic vale
calm zenith
#

Special kinda sucks before triple bomb

#

Yeah

rustic vale
#

You can just start with zeus and take any +% special and you’ll be fine

calm zenith
#

So Poseidon special sucking before sea storm is fine

rustic vale
#

Ofc smair is ideal

calm zenith
#

Smair yeah

rustic vale
#

But just having the +% means you’re chilling

calm zenith
#

Sea storm just seems like a funny alt

#

And it plays nice once you get it going

rustic vale
#

ofc the real big brain is zeus flourish luci

calm zenith
#

Need the % special

rustic vale
#

your bombs auto self destruct when enemies get neat

calm zenith
#

Oh I know

#

Sea storm does too

#

That's what I'm saying

#

You get the best of both worlds

#

It's just harder to get

#

It's a really fun synergy

#

You get what I mean now? You get Zeus flourish but with a high %

rustic vale
#

Ex

calm zenith
#

Sure ig

rustic vale
#

Less rng dependent

calm zenith
#

It seems just as rng dependent

#

Ime

rustic vale
#

I’m joking dusa

calm zenith
#

Like getting an epic Poseidon special then Sea Storm seems just as hard as getting not 1 but 2 Chaos special boons

#

On okay

rustic vale
#

Ofc just using a different special exists

calm zenith
#

Yeah

#

It's just fun to have the landmines

rustic vale
#

Zeus strike and tdash do the work

calm zenith
#

I guess they're surface mines

rustic vale
#

And the bombs explode from any enemy attacks too

calm zenith
#

Yeah

#

Or Jolted

#

But like I previously said there is a bit of a delay after aiming at least ime on controller

#

Not necessarily that bad but you also have auto aim

#

So the Zeus special will always auto trigger anyway

#

You dont need attack. Tdash is still good

#

But sea storm on tdash makes it even better

#

Just seems like a worthwhile duo if you want to target one.

#

I'd rather aim for more than less.

rustic vale
#

It’s not exactly worthwhile because you have to take an inferior special but

calm zenith
#

Within reason so I dont just get nothing

#

Fair

#

Do you play on controller?

rustic vale
#

Yes

calm zenith
#

Do you get what I mean about auto aim? Is there just another way?

rustic vale
#

I

#

Assume I get what you mean

calm zenith
#

I dont go for speed so I dont know if the auto trigger is faster than just smair

#

Then again with my keybinds it feels that way

#

Call also has a delay. Not like lag just controller input/digit movement.

#

I have to press down with my thumb on a joycon, that takes longer than a button press.

#

I also need to move my thumb to the joycon from my buttons

rustic vale
#

I don’t think my call is mapped to a joycon bump

calm zenith
#

Yeah that's probably my issue. Might try something else eventually

rustic vale
#

I don’t remember

calm zenith
#

I mapped dash to R to make dash strikes more natural feelling

#

And dash specials and such

rustic vale
#

Oh

#

I’m still on default controls last I checked

#

It just feels normal

calm zenith
#

Fair

rustic vale
#

I mean granted I’m 500+ runs in and so changing things up at this point would break a lot of built up muscle memory

calm zenith
#

Lmao

#

I started a drunken dash gilga run. Got epic drdash

#

Then epic greatest reflex

#

Hammers inbetween are Explosive Upper and Rush Kick

#

Swap to heroic lvl 9 Blade Dash

#

33 damage a hit.

#

Its barely a coherent build lmao

#

6 explosive uppers is pretty good

#

Even worked in Asphodel when I had no flourish. Picked up a rare divine flourish in Elysium. Gonna finish it now.

#

I was aiming for Low Tolerance then Curse of Nausea basically, Athena showed up as my first miniboss, Aphrodite didnt give a flourish, and Ares gave a very tempting trade

#

GOD I LOVE HEART REND BUILDS!!!

aphrodite attack + artemis special + heart rend + clean kill + cruel thrust = extreme fun!!!

FINALLY BEAT THESEUS LESGOOO

hollow ore
#

the boon trinkets only work once right?

#

as far as getting you the god you want?

#

so you swap to three different gods on each floor?

#

or did I misunderstand and I could keep one and focus?

latent moon
#

keeping a god keepsake on more than a biome is pointless

lethal bay
#

Also, when using merciful end with Malphon, is it better to use Athena attack and Ares special or vice versa

royal widget
#

ares attack by far

stone rune
#

yea u don’t trigger very much doom on special

#

slower animation

#

comes out after dash

rustic vale
#

Then it’s interchangeable

#

I mean rama would prefer athena attack ares strike but that’s rama ME

#

Because you can throw on divine dash and just dashstrike into enemies to prok and drop ME

ohhhh
Didn't even know about that.
I knew enemies have more health, but damn!

latent moon
#

yeah 15% more hp goes a long way for bosses lmao

#

for normal enemies, it's not as bad (but still pretty bad)

#

but bosses have a much larger hp pool, so they'll get a lot more

latent moon
#

hell mode do be kinda hell mode

rancid panther
#

Tell me about it.
And I only use the sword so always on melee range

stone rune
#

well maybe use a diff wep

#

sword not very easy

rancid panther
#

I love the sword!
I will start using different weapons once I beat hades.

stone rune
#

are you using nem then

rancid panther
#

I still have the base one

stone rune
#

at least with nem your experience is easier because it does the big damage

rancid panther
#

I enjoy hurting myself for some reason

latent moon
#

lmao just get merciful end

#

if you have aspects unlocked and still wanna use zag sword, you can do the funny plume

#

but that's a lot harder to pull off

stone rune
#

plume is also worse if uou don’t know what to build

rancid panther
#

I never look up build, at least not until I unlock most things
For now I play around with Zeus boons

latent moon
#

well if you bash your head on it enough times youll get through lmao

rancid panther
#

lightning dash, jult, double lightning, etc.
This seems to easy the pain a bit

rancid panther
#

I know.
Just my personal preference

stone rune

not knowing build basics is how you end up with fmdrunken flourish

one person said vengeful mood

#

idk man as

stone rune
#

theee were at least 3

#

one who did it in massive bold text for some reason

#

one who said vengeful mood was important at high heat

#

and one who said vengeful mood if good revenge boons and if not doom stacking is good???

latent moon
#

oh those are a lot more recent lmao

stone rune
#

this is like those people asking patty vs hammer

latent moon
#

hammer because since they're not using dark foresight, it'll be their first hammer

stone rune
latent moon
#

i mean i'm not wrong lmao

#

tbf in a casual run, patty can be useless on occasion

#

full DDs, dont need atk boost or hydralite

#

since we degen speedrunning, we always take patty

#

also beo doesnt need 2nd hammer lol

stone rune
#

i mean hydralite is hydralite

latent moon
#

if you dont get hit then it's useless lmao

#

just dont get hit duh

stone rune
#

this is reddit bouldy emoji

calm zenith
#

Patty can sometimes not be useful. It happens.

#

0-9 heat Eris run with clockets

#

Or just rocket bomb since it's a hammer

#

Even more reason to take the hammer early to get clockets throughout Elysium

#

Vengeful mood meanwhile is just mediocre

#

The perfect selling duo

How is crit chance calculated? If I have nemesis, and activate deadly reversal, what's the crit chance?

devout galleon
#

Used to think it was stacking separate instances:
Which would be 0.15+(0.15*0.85) in the example but I believe that isn't the case

mint coral

Yeah crit chance is additive

remote tiger
#

Who's cast is good with Beowulf

royal widget
#

poseidon is the best

#

aphro is good too but styx is harder

#

dio is really good but slower because you need stygian soul

remote tiger
#

Hmm

latent moon
#

Pos cast best because it's an easy lead up to mirage shot

#

Which is bugged to do 100% damage instead of 30% on flares

royal widget

do the devs have any intention of fixing it? or is it fine to talk since it doesnt matter

latent moon

We've been talking about it for years lmao

And also numerous speedrun videos online that use beo lmao

They've gotta be familiar with it

didnt like ign make them watch a fresh file run

lambent plume is incredible

where can I get posters that are in stock

#

im 100% sticking with plume when im not trying to get a specific boon

hermes’ stuff is general is just broken (which i am only just now realizing is because its a reference to how he is the only olympian who is cthonic, aka related to the underworld)

it only gives you a level every 5 encounters (right?)

#

and that doesnt count chambers that arent combat like charon, fountain, chaos, story etc.

#

youd probably take it into ely or styx after two olympian keepsakes in tart and aspho

hardy spear
#

elysium has a total of 8 possible combat rooms but chances are youll skip a couple so youll only get one random level

hardy spear
latent moon
#

also inconsistent, your poms might not go to the right place

hardy spear
#

yeah

latent moon
#

might go somewhere not worth pomming

#

better to take something like hourglass or acorn

#

i guess technically speaking, mom pom can be better than hourglass if the hourglass gets no value

#

but also better to just have it just in case you can get good use out of it

mystic lark
hardy spear
#

i used to think mom pom was good too

latent moon
hardy spear
#

what aspect do you like using most?

latent moon
#

mom pom does have a niche use case imo

#

where you like

mystic lark
latent moon
#

reset the run every time until you get the cast boon from a god you want

#

and mom pom through tart

#

but then switch off

latent moon
#

also not using a god keepsake makes it so you're less likely to get the duo you want

hardy spear
stone rune
#

i'd get more flustered if i ended up with zeus ares dio arty pool on hestia with plume and i didnt shackle

latent moon
#

and yeah the game is heavily reliant on rng, but god keepsakes take out a good chunk of it

mystic lark
latent moon
#

there's still hammer, room, reward, enemy rng

stone rune
#

don't run chiron

#

chiron is like

#

top 2 worst aspects to speedrun

hardy spear
#

yeah if you want to try get a sub10 use literally anything other than chiron lmao

latent moon
#

it is def possible, but there's easier options

stone rune
#

oh i forgot about gilga

#

top 3 worst aspects to speedrun

#

it's slightly less painful than arthur

latent moon
#

if you want to get it on chiron that's fine, but do keep in mind that it's not the fastest

humble willow
#

unpopular supergiant opinion.
supergiants past 3 games werent very good, hades is their first actually great game, SG should stick to rogue-likes, it seems to be what they do best.

stone rune
#

yeah a sub10 on chiron is like sub830 or something on a half decent aspect

stone rune
mystic lark
humble willow
#

in a supergiant-games server they dont want to talk about SGG 💀

stone rune
stone rune
latent moon
#

god keepsakes helps with consistency

stone rune
#

not about the studio

hardy spear
stone rune
#

imagine trying to get mirage on plume

latent moon
#

it's the whole reason why dark foresight is preferred over olympian favor

#

dark foresight is better for consistency across runs

#

with olympian favor, you can get some runs that are great where you get a lot of boons

#

but it's less consistent and less likely to happen

humble willow
# stone rune not about the studio

i too was talking about the game hades. the premise of my comment was hades is (in my opinion) their only great game and i think in the future they should stick to Rogue-likes and hades as they are with Hades 2

hardy spear
#

what aspects other than chiron do you use? we could give a couple ideas

mystic lark
stone rune
#

hades subreddit lol

hardy spear
stone rune
#

reddit is stuck in early access

#

they haven’t updated their game

#

or their builds

mystic lark
stone rune
#

i mean reddit as a platform is

latent moon
#

it's more like

stone rune
#

fine

latent moon
#

the community is fine

hardy spear
#

i feel like if you did learn some decision making and builds youd probably easily get a sub 10 given your game time

latent moon
#

just dont take reddit suggestions for builds 95% of the time

stone rune
#

and using hera

#

lol

hardy spear
#

the pacts i see on reddit bouldy

latent moon
#

unless you just started getting into speedrunning

#

the subreddit tends to praise chiron a lot, and a lot of them say that their fastest time is on chiron
which is fine and all tbf

#

but grinding for a sub10 on chiron would need a lot of rng

stone rune
#

chiron is just slow

hardy spear
#

i think i have like 200 ish hours and ive gotten all weapons almost sub 9 so i feel like the thing limiting you the most rn is just not knowing meta strats

latent moon
#

i think they got ME

hardy spear
mystic lark
# latent moon unless you just started getting into speedrunning

Not a speedrunner at all, yeah. I just played for fun untill few months ago, when I thought that I should spice things up, so I tried 32 heat, and after seeing today post on reddit about someone achieving sub ten thought that would be fun too. But for now got max 13:20

latent moon
#

did you see my sub6 lmao

hardy spear
#

what other aspects do you like other than chiron

stone rune
#

my very first try into speedrunning was to get the sub12 victory screen

latent moon
#

but yeah that's fair enough

stone rune
#

and i got like 13 minutes and i was so mad

latent moon
#

and yeah, what other aspects do you like to play

hardy spear
stone rune
#

just play hera

#

and don’t miss

hardy spear
#

i think i got my bow sub 10 on rama first

latent moon
#

rama and dont get hit lmao

#

or just play eris

stone rune
#

rama is hard

latent moon
#

just win and be fast duh

stone rune

literally i couldn’t get a sub10 on it a few days ago

Nemesis, Poseidon, Beowulf, Zeus, Talos, Hera, Rama.

BEOWULF

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BEO

hardy spear
#

BEOWULF AND HERA

stone rune
#

GO FOR IT BABYYYYYY

latent moon
#

but yeah beowulf kinda funny

#

are you aware of the mirage shot bug

hardy spear
#

beowulf is considered the best speed aspect by most and you can look at the leaderboards for evidence

stone rune
#

hamie jo do you have a sub6 on beo

hardy spear
stone rune
#

oh

#

well

mystic lark
#

IIRC it gives more damage on beowulf, right?

stone rune
#

2/3 of us have beo sub6s

hardy spear
#

who do you think i am

stone rune
#

oh yeah

latent moon
#

100% instead of 30% kinda funny

stone rune
#

it doubles cast damage

#

multiplicatively

hardy spear
#

3rd try easy

latent moon
#

so just flood flare -> deadly strike -> get duo -> win
if you dont get charged shot hammer, you can either cope with sudden rush or ferocious guard, or you can cry

mystic lark
latent moon
#

honestly it'd be a lot funnier if it was some arbitrary number that wasn't 100

#

"yeah mirage shot does 56% more damage instead of 30% for some god forsaken reason"

I tried to get one of them hooked up. Gifted her the game, she played for a month, and is not interested anymore.

hardy spear
#

one of my friends owns a physical copy of the game and never got past heroes

latent moon
#

my friend told me to play this game and then they proceeded to stop playing the game while i still degen it

mystic lark
#

Wow

latent moon
#

it's been like a year

hardy spear
#

how did i even find this game

latent moon
#

wait no more than a year lmao

#

good question

hardy spear
#

oh it was xbox gamepass

#

and someone told me zag looked hot so i was like "lmao im in"

calm zenith
#

I started playing when it got big

#

Started seeing Hades victory screens

#

Right after full release

mystic lark
#

I saw it when Kronii (vtuber from hololive) played it. She played spear only and said things like "I dont know how you can even get a clear on a bow". And here I am, using bow more than anything, lol

calm zenith
#

I mainly play on switch so that helps

#

I hope it comes to switch immediately on full release

latent moon
calm zenith
#

Hades II

#

Spear is fun

hardy spear
#

spear is my least favourite weapon apart from sword

calm zenith
#

Serrated go brrrr

latent moon
#

yeah when im guaranteed flurry jab on achilles lmao

#

but like apart from that

#

it's clunky

calm zenith
#

I prefer serrated lol

#

Fair

latent moon
#

serrated does have the damage yeah so it's less miserable

calm zenith
#

Spear has some massive dash strikes

mystic lark
calm zenith
#

Beautiful area and reach on them

#

Sometimes hard to aim them but with serrated you have 3

mystic lark
#

Like shield. Captain america goes brrrrr

latent moon

A special Zag aspect run can be fun

mystic lark

Explosive + charged is so fun if you get it

You have a massive special

Its fun

watch a beowulf speedrun and become enlightened

latent moon
mystic lark
#

I know, when I play beowulf its different

calm zenith
#

You can do Beo special builds

hardy spear
calm zenith
#

I still need to

latent moon
#

beo meta used to be charged flight lmao

calm zenith
#

There just memes

#

Yeah

humble willow
#

does lucky tooth and deaths defiance stack?

latent moon
#

yes

calm zenith
#

It still can work if you really try

latent moon
calm zenith
#

Not good given you can use rushes

mystic lark
#

I just like cosplaying Captain America, focusing on special. It's so fun seeing your shield fly all over chaimber

humble willow
mystic lark
#

Its a different playstyle

calm zenith
#

Try a special beo build then

humble willow
#

ah ok

latent moon
#

you can use all 3 DDs, your tooth, and then after that you die

calm zenith
#

More even

hardy spear
calm zenith
#

You can get up to 3 DDs

#

You can restore them a few ways

latent moon
#

technically as much as your main HP pool allows because of chaos yeah

calm zenith
#

Athena and Chaos and Wells

mystic lark
latent moon
#

my boy patty

calm zenith
#

Chaos also just gives bonus ones

#

Yeah

calm zenith
#

Then yeah Lucky Tooth

#

Lucky Tooth is often gonna be one of your first keepsakes

#

I feel players will tend to gift to the guy they beat up

mystic lark
#

When I was playing on a keyboard, I always swapped cast and special.

calm zenith
#

And it's a very useful keepsake

mystic lark
hardy spear
#

man maybe i should try playing games for fun instead of grinding for numbers

#

(this is a cry for help for my overwatch addiciton)

mystic lark
#

Well, I am not very competitive, so I always played for fun. Even in OW, I played like 200+ hours in QP on support+tank. Only this year, when I got a few friends to play in a party I got into comp. And I still cant get out of bronze... I always get so close, like bronze 1, and then it resets after new season starts

#

But grinding 32 heat was fun. I've been running like 16-20 heat before, so it was a big leap

#

I played with god mode on my first save, yeah

hardy spear
mystic lark
#

Then I got mom back, climbed up to 16 heat, and thought "hm, I think I am good enough to not suck at clean save without gm"

hardy spear
#

in open queue on console tho

latent moon
#

still based lmao

hardy spear
#

it's going to be a reddit pact isnt it

mystic lark
#

How do you aim with joystick ._.
As someone who used to resent joysticks before getting one since title screen said "better play with joystick"

latent moon
#

you aim with your movement stick iirc

#

someone with a controller can correct me on that

hardy spear
#

yeah

weak charm
#

bro. i get a legendary poseidon boon and its HUGE CATCH

#

gonna punch a wall

hardy spear

just make sure you have aim assist on and you basically dont have to aim

althought aim assist is kinda dodgy sometimes

oh

latent moon

"oh hey you can fish now, you can now see fish more frequently this run"

calm zenith

And you dont need to get it manually for a prophecy

latent moon
#

you can also take this opportunity to sell it after tartarus for the steam achievement and 500 gold

calm zenith
#

Yeah

mystic lark
# latent moon someone with a controller can correct me on that

Yeah, I meant controller in general. I forgot how it is called for a second and called controller joystick. I am getting bad at both languages, lol. I am forgetting russian words since I use it only to communicate with family, and I forget english words since it is not my native language and almost do not use it to speak/write

weak charm
#

of all the legendary boons that is not one i would wanna get ☠️

Yeah normally you dont get that boon without taking 2 of his resource boons

#

Bounty and the other one

sunken treasure

#

dead cells is 2d so yeah i'd figure it be neutral

#

for hades tho

#

it's honestly personal preference

#

like yeah there's pros and cons, but they're generally not that big of a deal

hardy spear
#

the default keyboard binds are kinda wack tho right?

latent moon
#

there's top controller players, top kbm players

latent moon
#

so like

#

whatever

#

jazz uses default

#

if you can make it work then sure

#

but you can always just remap them so it's fine

hardy spear
#

sometimes i forget how quirky my controller binds are

#

i dont think my A is bound to anything

mystic lark
hardy spear
#

well i dont play on keyboard and mouse anyway

mystic lark
latent moon
#

oh funky i never noticed that

#

didn't know hades has that rec either lmao

latent moon
hardy spear

#

well i dont play controller so that's whatever

#

but the A button not being bound?

#

felony

#

that's literally the button to spam

hardy spear
#

well dash used to be there

#

but i unbound dash
but now dash is on x/square

#

which is where attack used to be

#

this goes on for a while

mystic lark
#

When I got my 32 heat win... My game crashed. Just as I exited last boss room. Idk what exactly was causing it, I had mods installed, (stuff like skipping the cutscene on death), but even without them with a backup save of when I just finished bossfight it didnt work. Turns out it was trying to send me into grece, and crashing since grece does not have a value to add to a timer. Thank gods I was able to fix that by modifying game code, lol.

#

Good thing part of it is written in lua, I just found I place where it crashed and added a condition for it to add zero if no value was found

#

Or it would be quite a sad evening, I wanted that skelly statue so bad

hardy spear
#

just looked back at my 32 heat clear and i had 4 acorn charges left bouldy

mystic lark
#

It is certainly not the best build, yeah. But it was one that worked. I was quite proud of myself for finally beating it. 🥲

latent moon
#

God pool manip?

#

Can you like change which gods you see

hardy spear
#

what is that

#

is this why you dont use god keepsakes

mystic lark
latent moon
#

Funky

#

Oh I'd like to mention

#

Multiple sources of hangover will override itself

#

So that Dio call is kinda worthless if you're using your special while it's going off

hardy spear
#

actually wait i dont completely understand that can you explain

latent moon
#

Me?

hardy spear
#

yeah

latent moon
#

Like

#

The game takes the last hangover damage applied

hardy spear
#

what happens if i have 3 stacks from my special and then a stack from the call gets applied

latent moon
#

It takes the call stack probably

hardy spear
#

so itd just be like if there were 4 stacks of call hangover

latent moon
#

Yeah

hardy spear
#

right

latent moon
#

But like you're gonna be shooting yourself in the foot the majority of the time lmao

mystic lark
#

Imho god boons would be way cooler if they gave some buffs. Like increase crit chances by a certain percent for Artemis (percent of crit percent, like you have 25% crit boon, and keepsake gives it 25% of 25%, so you have 31.2% total). Something like that. Maybe not strong, but to give some nice effects other than 1 guaranteed boon + a bit higher rarity chances

hardy spear
#

cool idea but sounds too complicated compared to what the current keepsakes do which are all really simple apart from hades'

native blade
#

Prolly a good mod idea?

mystic lark
hardy spear
#

man i wish i could mod on console

Aw hell.
