pastel monolith
#

but I think i saw a setting like that

coarse tapir
#

yeah but I have no mouse since I'm on keyboard only

sour fog
#

that's a first

stone rune
#

plenty of people play keyboard only

#

croven did

sour fog
#

why would you though

stone rune
#

well

#

one reason is not having a mouse

sour fog
#

I mean

#

yeah

stone rune
#

it's also just a legit option for bow

#

and rail

#

bow is ass to aim either way

sour fog
#

you could just disable aim at cursor for those

stiff obsidian
#

what does maim do

stone rune
#

+25% damage dealt to enemy

#

+50% damage dealt by enemy

#

drops for 400 damage after 4 seconds

stiff obsidian
#

oh

#

is it worth maiming?

#

tree

#

🌲

stone rune
#

it's one of the main gimmicks of the thingy

#

yeah gilga is garbo

#

if u like it go for it but it's soooo clunky

stiff obsidian
#

i neeed the prphecy thingy

#

gaming

stone rune
#

have u tried not dying

stiff obsidian
stone rune
#

do u have ur stuff bound differently

#

reequip only works on quick reset right

#

i know it definitely doesnt work when u manually complete a run

stone rune
#

what biome

#

50?

#

sell gr and try not getting hit

#

that is very good idea imo

#

i guess you have more additive than normal

#

you have 65 right

#

sell surrender ig

#

less pommables

latent moon
#

Can't you just roll

stone rune
#

40 and 25

#

pstatus and fam fav

#

wait

#

i forgot

latent moon
#

Yeah why not sell that lmao

stone rune
#

so you have 40 additive lmfao

#

just sell ss

#

you need poms

latent moon
#

What does selling sweet surrender have to do with poms

stone rune
#

it's pommable

#

i assume this is ap2

#

since ri0

latent moon
#

I mean

#

Pp is also pommable lmao

#

But sure

stone rune
#

pp does not happen to be in sell well\

latent moon
#

Just roll like I said

#

Do it

#

Also tbf

#

I took lvl 2 passion flare into heroes lmao

#

It's not that bad

#

Just get the boon

#

Lmao

#

If this is 1.3 then we can tell if you save scummed

#

And then die in the next Ely room sure

#

#

Double roiling let's go

pure karma
stone rune
#

wdym

#

you can pretty shrimply control with keyboard only

latent moon
#

You aim was wasd lmao

coarse tapir
#

yeah I use arrow keys to move and aim

#

and other buttons for attack/etc.

#

so it's like a controller basically (actually a hitbox) but I only have access to 8 directions

#

so pretty much it's as if I'm playing it with a dpad only controller

pure karma
#

Man, I have the outmost respect for you

#

Just like a buddy who used to play League of Legends with a trackpad

#

And was still Gandmasters

coarse tapir
#

I play all games with keyboard only, unless it's a turn based game then I'm okay with using mouse

#

since I only have trackpad

#

and play on the couch

twin thistle
#

i mean duo chance increase

#

Hi, I have a question. What are the points of the empty slots in the keepsakes area?

twin thistle
#

at the bottom?

pure karma
#

The what?

brisk trail
#

will they never be used? since hades 2 is coming I don't think it'll ever be used

pure karma
#

Companions?

brisk trail
pure karma
#

yeah they will be used

#

can you post a screenshot, I am not sure what you mean

brisk trail
pure karma
#

at the bottom there are yeah

#

OHHHH

#

nah, just the grid

brisk trail
#

I can't post a screenshot

#

but its the little corner in the bottom right (not companions above it)

pure karma
#

Think I know what you mean. It's just the grid

brisk trail
#

It won't be used then?

pure karma
#

there are no more keepsakes, ||Hades and Persephone|| are the last

#

if I understand corrctly what you are saying, no they wont be used

brisk trail
#

I finished the game and now play hades extreme measures

pure karma
#

Yeah then you have them all

brisk trail
#

that's all i needed

stone rune
#

holy crepes

#

i just had the most obscene 1wave

brisk trail
#

I'll leave now. I joined the server just to ask. Thank you @pure karma

pure karma
#

Did you just say you are doing EM4 just after you finished the story?

#

I feel used

raw herald
#

Man knew what he wanted

eternal tusk
#

the most dangerous part of the medusa miniboss is how much it tanks my frames lmao

pure karma
#

I always have trouble avoiding the stone big aoe for some reason

latent moon
#

You can iframe the first hit with your summon iframe

#

It'll also strip the armor so that's neat

pure karma
#

Meg fast enoughto hit before it flies?

agile basin
#

you can do in the second cicle tho

#

raw herald

stone rune
#

i need to learn 0 cycle power couple

#

the only 0 cycles i do are the mirage ones

#

0 sneak seems so annoying tho

#

#

What’s the difference between this and a souls game

mint coral
#

yes

pure karma
meager shuttle
#

Lol

stone rune
potent heart
#

sorry to barge in like this, but hades has never felt like a souls game to me, it definitely has hard parts but nowhere near as frustrating and anger-inducing as a souls game hahaha

#

(although, full transparency, i do play with god mode on so... y'know, maybe i'm not the best to give input on this 😅 )

pure karma
#

Souls-like has become a meme at this point

#

Any hard games are compared to souls games

potent heart
#

yeah that is true, i mean i also haven't properly played any souls game - i tried 1 and 3, hated the experience, never continued lol

#

but with hades i was so into it, 'cause i could actually make progress but also make mistakes without feeling punished for it

pure karma
#

Well Hades is a rouguelite

#

Butchered the word probably, wont google it now

stone rune
#

roguelite

pure karma
#

one letter

#

damn I was close

potent heart
#

close enough id say :D

#

and yeah, valid, it's still not a genre i've really played before

#

but it absolutely sucked me in lol

lunar terrace
meager shuttle
#

God-like Roguelike will forever be the best tagline for anything ever (from the trailers)

potent heart
#

i haven't touched it in a hot minute, but i was obsessively playing it for a good amount of time

pure karma
#

Hades does a great job progressing the story and character developemtn in a very fluid way with each run

#

The gameplay is also splendid

potent heart
pure karma
#

That is why it clicks so well, even with gamers that are not ultra-hardcore and into super challenging games

stone rune
lunar terrace
stone rune
#

on what your goal is

#

like

drowsy linden
stone rune
#

if you're speedrunning it's a very different sort of satisfaction

#

but if you're playing with difficulty turned up it's probably kind of similar

pure karma
potent heart
#

i play most games on the easiest setting, or any helpful setting they might have (like hades' god mode), and im proud of it :D

stone rune
#

cause like

#

hades is generally a pretty easy game

pure karma
#

Play however you like. Games are supposed to be fun

drowsy linden
#

i enjoy suffering, to a degree
( i enjoy hollow knight)

potent heart
stone rune
#

it's not the annoying game design of souls

#

you can make it difficult

#

after your first clear

lunar terrace
pure karma
stone rune
#

there are some similar elements i suppose

potent heart
#

maybe one day, but for now my "to play" list is way too long as is hahaha

stone rune
#

because as you get better at hades the stuff that was rlly hard at first becomes something you can do every try blindfolded

drowsy linden
stone rune
#

which i assume is also how souls goes

pure karma
stone rune
#

i got to the snake in sekiro and stopped because it was scary

TIL people get nectar from Eurydice

stone rune
#

it's easily the most common one

pure karma
#

REally? I must have picked it like 3 times in 500 runs

potent heart
#

yeah i initially avoided it

twin thistle
#

nectar increases duo/legendary chance

potent heart
#

but then i started picking it more and more

potent heart
twin thistle
#

also hermes rarity is really strong

stone rune
#

can you not get midboss c22 bouldy

pure karma

I always play rarity/level starved builds, so I preffer my current boons higher

mint coral

pure karma

I would relly like to see a cerberous boss fight

crystal star
#

it would be too hard

potent heart
#

now would i still attempt to pet every one of cerby's heads? absolutely.

crystal star
#

Because you just want to pet him

pure karma

I will pet him with my dem special charged

#

crystal star

hardy spear

crystal star
#

What characters

#

Ok

autumn rose
still python
#

why does lightning phalanx have no lightning animation i was expecting it to look cool

raw herald
stone rune
#

can only beat necropolix

eternal tusk
#

Is the spear one of the better weapons or does it just fit my playstyle really well? cause ill find with it I can get through theb one hydra's without a single death defy then opn adamant rail I can barely make it through the fury, granted adamant rail seems to be the one I do worst with, though I dont often use shield or bow

eternal tusk
#

im incredibly new to the game, got it like 2 days ago

#

fair

formal solstice
#

what exactly do themes do

#

are they just for your side bar

#

or for the enitrety of the underworld

mint coral
#

For the boon menu only yeah

formal solstice
#

Dang

#

I spent 10 ambrosia for that

#

Oh well I had a lot of it lying around

tropic agate
#

Well glad to know before I grind 25k darkness

#

Which I will do anyway

meager shuttle
#

Lmao

#

Just kidding, ofc

bright sentinel
#

i just talked to Death at home base, pretty sure i literally have one more gift to give him, and he LEFT immediately when i spoke to him so now i have to wait longer

#

nevermind i savequit
whew

still python
#

death?

#

thanatos?

bright sentinel
#

yeah

#

turns out i'm not as close as i thought i was anyway lol

still python
#

whats a good hera build that isnt crush shot

#

idk what would work

#

and i wanna get better

twin thistle
#

its pretty much just crush shot. ig the next options are athena cast parting or dio with stygian and pray for extra bloodstone

latent moon
#

The whole idea with Hera is that you one shot enemies so the drop time doesn't really matter

#

Athena cast is slightly worse crush shot with longer range

bright sentinel
median spear
#

the bow is probably the best weapon overall

#

though speedrunners find the shield more effective which is interesting

stone rune
#

and beo has better damage than hera usually

twin thistle
#

more like they find beo more effective and cshot beo is just hera but double the damage and aoe

stone rune
#

hera would be faster if every room was a 2waver of 2 fatass enemies

#

but that is not every room

latent moon
#

Every other shield sucks for speed pretty much

undone condor
#

I just found merciful end on my first boon after getting ares, no rerolls

#

Next run is definitely gonna make up for such good luck lol

bright sentinel
#

Zeus shield did so good tho
That's not good for speedrun types??

stone rune
#

zeus kinda garbo for speedrun

royal widget
#

it's good for sub20

twin thistle
#

speedrunning and high heat are pretty different environments

stone rune
#

apparently i’m getting carpal tunnel

#

maybe i shouldn’t play so much hades

still python
#

can you lose erebus gates immediately to save time

stone rune
#

and they’re still longer

#

startlag and endlag

#

even tho their waves can be shorter

#

because of superelites

twin thistle
#

dire bball fun

uneven cloak
#

Do I have to do EM4 for 1 missing music sheet?

uneven cloak
stone rune
#

i dont

#

i just play game

twin thistle
#

iirc em4 has an extra music sheet

raw herald
#

Unseen ones

rustic thicket
#

so a keepsake doesn't work consecutively?

#

specifically the god keepsakes

stone rune
#

they have one charge

#

it’s not used until you collect the god’s boon as a room reward

rustic thicket
#

oh intteresting

#

so charon doesnt count then??

stone rune
#

no

rustic thicket
#

nice

stone rune
#

and you can skip one

rustic thicket
#

cool cool

#

thaanks man

stone rune
#

well

#

more than one

#

if you skip a room reward with the god

#

it’ll just keep forcing it

#

most applicable in 2 exits where one door has midshop and the other your gods miniboss

#

you can take the shop and then the next door should probably be the god miniboss

median spear
#

the only non modded 64 heat run was done using a zeus shield

gray apex
median spear
#

what aspects are used for speedrunning then? im actually pretty curious

stone rune
#

beowulf

#

hera

#

achilles

#

hestia eris

#

those are the good ones

#

there are other pretty good ones

#

and there is also zagspeardusa dusa dusa dusa

#

luci is upthereish i think

gray apex
#

Yea Zeus is one of the bottom ones

stone rune
#

i think most people say nem would be more if more people played it

#

zeus is the slowest sub6 right

#

for an aspect

median spear
#

you would assume that chiron would be a good speedrunning aspect

stone rune
#

zagsword has like a low 55x right

gray apex
#

It’s not the metric but might be

median spear
#

because i think it's good

#

strong

stone rune
#

it has such awful damage

median spear
#

aphro special on chiron is disgustingly good

gray apex
#

It has good single target dmg with a good build

#

That’s about it

#

Rooms don’t need single target dmg

stone rune
median spear
#

eh

#

i like it

#

a lot

#

what about ram

#

ramaa

#

is it good? 🤔

stone rune
#

rama is good

#

idk how much of that is ocaml being busted and how much is rama being busted tho

median spear
#

zues special rama is nice , but i hate how slow the attack charge is

gray apex
#

It’s both

gray apex
#

Rama is hard to play and caml is insane at it

#

So it unlocks the potential of the wep

stone rune
#

grizz and that timothy guy both do pretty good as well

gray apex

may i ask what is ocaml/caml

stone rune
#

one is gonna sub6 i think

gray apex
#

Caml is a rama god

#

Both high heat and speedrunning

median spear
#

oh like a person lmao

gray apex
#

Learned most of his strats from Tailesque

#

The og rama god

#

is there a resource for rama strats i could look up?

but i suppose

#

if chaos can get a 545

zeus can get it too

the zeus dads are actually busted though

is it like the fastest MEspect for dad

Why is hunter's mark good with PP?

stone rune
#

overall, pp has a multiplicative damage value of 2 times its crit %

#

but once you hit a pp proc, if it procs marked you can get very reliable crits

#

and crit gud

distant mulch
#

Is exagryph generally considered a bad weapon??

#

I'm the closest I've ever been to beating a run (27 attempts be nice to me) with exagryph but apparently it's the worst weapon type lol

hardy spear
#

did you get that info from reddit

distant mulch
#

no just a random webpage

#

But I did think it was funny and I wanted to see if people agreed

sour fog
#

on my first playthrough I did consider it the worst, or rather the one I liked the least

#

but now I like it much more

fallow galleon
#

So i havent played hades in a while and my save went all the way back to when i first started playing the game. Anyone know why i lost my 50hrs of progress? Never had this happen before
ive only stopped playing for 2 months

pure karma
#

I have beaten hades like 250 times, and more than a dozen in EM4 and he still has the audacity to say "How dare you think you are superior to me" the few times he wins

#

But I lost at 32 heat so I deserve the trashtalk I guess

stiff obsidian
#

worth using god keepsakes after you use their charge for the rarity buff?

pure karma
#

nah

#

Unless you are using a specific keepsake for the whole run, you should go God 1 -> God 2 -> Acorn -> Acorn

stiff obsidian
#

yea thats what i usually do

#

alright thanks

winged valve
#

i haven't been doing acorn in elysium but I probably should

#

well, idk actually

pure karma
#

Well, if you are using EM3 I think it;s almost necessary

#

imo

winged valve
#

idk, EM3 isn't that much worse

pure karma
#

byt anyway, acorn depends on how good you are are

winged valve
#

I often go coin purse

pure karma
#

if you barely take any damage from heroes and hades, then acorn is not that useful

#

That is also valid

stiff obsidian
#

idk why but i just lost my past 3 runs at heroes due to EM3 despite having all 3 dd left

winged valve
#

i take damage for sure but if things go well then you get there with a full bar of health, take some damage, and then the well gets you almost full again

pure karma
#

I go acorn like 80% of the time, but sometimes I have such a broken build, I go purse or maybe Plume

winged valve
#

problem with plume is that if you drop plume in styx then you lose the bonus

#

so once you go plume it's for the rest of the run

pure karma
#

Yeah, If I go plume I commit

winged valve
#

I go pom blossom too sometimes

pure karma
#

But usually as I said I do it with a monstrous build, so I clear fast enough to get the bonus in every room. And the whole of Elysium and styx give a lot of dodge

#

so it can be worth

#

Eh, I rarely use pom

winged valve
#

i guess plume is especially ideal on runs where you don't need a second god keepsake

#

but you already got the god you needed

#

*because

pure karma
#

But now I am trying 32+ heat, sometimes 46 so acorn is safest

winged valve
#

damn

pure karma
#

I dont trust myself to take little damage

winged valve
#

I'm still around 10 or so

pure karma
#

and I also get stubborn defiance so I cant rely on DDs in bosses

#

Ironically I just lost a 32 run at hadees because I didnt take acorn lmao

#

I had a shackle run

winged valve
#

nice

stiff obsidian
#

do yarns stack

#

like if i have 2

pure karma
#

Yarn is the one that gives rarity to next boon right?

stiff obsidian
#

double upgrade or woks for next 2

mint coral
#

only one is used iirc

#

so next 2 boons

stiff obsidian
#

ah ok

pure karma
#

Nothing stacks iirc

#

the rooms are just added up

#

iirc

mint coral
#

all the dmg buffs stacks

pure karma
#

from shop?

mint coral
#

yeah

pure karma
#

You sure?

#

Because I seem to remember that I just get more rooms

#

or you get both?

mint coral
#

you don't get more rooms unless you are using charon's keepsake

#

different amount left

stiff obsidian
#

do any of the fist special hammers speed up the animation

mint coral
#

kinetic launcher is faster to release

mint coral
#

things like skeleton lure, yarn, light of ixion just use one after the other

white path
#

-get ares attack, athena special and dash
-fill call and cast asap
-have 10% extra chance for duos
-get only 3 more boons from either of them in the entire run
-3 rerolls
-no merciful end

pure karma
#

I guess the gods ended without any... mercy

karmic swan
#

how does aspect of demeter work with the rush kick upgrade for fists

#

since that aspect makes it do bonus hits

#

and rush kick makes the special do two hits instead of one

#

does it double the bonus hits or just do one extra hit?

pure karma
#

I think the hit is just added in there

#

So 7 hits instead of 6 total

#

But it feels like the hitbox is kinda weird and small, so I do not take it

karmic swan
#

oh Ic

pure karma
#

You should try the kinetic launcher I think it called

#

with dem fists

white path
#

I did right now. Was fun!

karmic swan
#

oh yeah I tried it once

#

its quite good

#

especially with the merciful end thing

white path
karmic swan
#

the ares athena duo boon

pure karma
#

it works like that?

white path
#

no, idk what they mean. Unless they manage to catch up to the blast and athena attack the same target

#

crystal clarity + pressure points + hunter instinct is nice. Call charges up so fast

winged valve
#

does hunter instinct actually make a big difference there? I think it'll be like a few percent

#

crystal clarity charges up call insanely fast on its own

mint coral
#

(If you don't dash strike)

mint coral
#

Jus dash strike into special

#

Is faster that normal special

white path
latent moon
#

How many hits you do, how much damage you do, and how much hp you lose

#

How many hits you do is gonna charge it faster

winged valve
#

since its a beam

#

for the same amount of damage output, your god gauge charges waaaaay faster for lots of tiny hits, compared to a few big ones

white path
#

Neat

#

Are the numbers on a wiki page?

winged valve
#

Not sure if anyone collected exact numbers for that

mint coral
#

I think Nyaanyaa has posted them here before

winged valve
#

but yeah, beam builds charge gauge like crazy, another example is hunting blades build (ares cast)

mint coral
#

Just kinda hard to check

winged valve
#

that also affects the value of smoldering air. Smoldering air on builds with tons of tiny hits, not even just beams and hunting blades, but like even eris builds with zeus on attack, or something like that is less (but it's still good)

#

but if you're running say, hestia, your god gauge is going to charge up really slowly

#

So if you are running aphro on attack (common choice for hestia), it's huge value to get e.g. zeus on call and go for smoldering air

mint coral
#

Tbh outside of "fast hits gud" you don't need much more than that

#

And that dmg done caps really fast for gauge

winged valve
#

yeah, I guess I'd just be curious how much that artemis skill really helps

mint coral
#

Oh hunter's instict?

white path
#

ye

mint coral
#

Underworld customs fodder bouldy

winged valve
#

i have gotten it a few times and it was never really noticable to me

#

hah okay so it's not just me

white path
#

And also pressure points to make hunter's instinct trigger on beams

mint coral
#

Is certainly a boon that exists

winged valve
#

even with pressure points, it's only a few percent of all hits that crit

#

so the question I guess is, how much extra god gauge does a crit hit give over a normal hit

white path
winged valve
#

so there's an amount you get for damage, and a flat amount per attack, I think is the formula

#

G = A + 0.01 D
basically

#

the question is, what is A?

mint coral
winged valve
#

you could probably measure with something like beams

#

A low damage beam, we can basically safely assume that all the god gauge is coming from A

#

how many times does beams proc per second?

#

5?

mint coral
#

From Nyaanyaa she also said
You'll charge more gauge from 10 hits of 10 dmg than one hit of 100

winged valve
#

Yeah, which of course we all know

#

I don't think this is that bad to test honestly

#

If we know how fast beams proc. Just get beams, put it in front of a slow strong enemy

#

Start timing

#

We could get a decent estimate with very little work. At least if that formula is in the right form

white path
#

Do beams have the same attack speed as lucifer?

winged valve
#

That's a great question

#

I expect beams are faster

#

I could be wrong

#

Actually

#

Lucifer would be good to test this, although it does too much damage

#

But if we actually believe in that 0.01 in the formula then we could subtract that out

stiff obsidian
#

where can i watch good speedruns

winged valve
#

The advantage of Lucifer is that I'm pretty sure it'll be one hit per ammo

#

So you know exactly how many hits

stiff obsidian
#

wooooo

raw herald
#

Every run has a video link

winged valve
#

Downside is that it's too much damage, ideally we want to test something with negligible damage per hit

#

Like a beam

stiff obsidian
#

ok thank

#

s

winged valve
#

The cool thing is I guess with Lucifer you can control the damage per hit by stopping and starting

#

So, you can do one test where you unload the beam 5 times, using the whole clip each time. And a other test where you unload half the clip, ten times

#

If you assume the formula is a constant charge per hit plus a fraction of damage, that's all the info you need to work it all out

white path
#

yoo???

#

It's not a flat base, it's diminishing returns from a square root. Huh.

winged valve
#

Yeah, pretty interesting

#

Though you don't get diminishing returns until 60 damage

latent moon
winged valve
#

Maybe there is no flat bonus per hit then?

#

It really feels like there is though

#

I guess if you stay in the optimal zone then you just need 2500 damage to fill a bar.

#

That's just a few elite/chunky enemies

mint coral
#

The real strategy is just stack aether's net and/or proud bearing

#

Or smair

#

You really can't go wrong with it lmao

winged valve
#

I feel like I go for smair almost every run

#

Aphro and Zeus are just very good gods that I use a lot and it's a duo that works well on every aspect/build

bright sentinel
#

I do not enjoy smair even if it is good

winged valve
#

why's that

latent moon
#

Having to keep track of buttons can be a lot tbf

winged valve
#

i mean either way you need to know where that button is to use call

#

it's just more often

latent moon
#

If you're already mashing an extra button might throw you off lmao

#

Idk

#

To each their own

stiff obsidian
#

chaos boon rarities buff the curse?

mint coral
#

Nope

#

Only the buff

stiff obsidian
#

common addled grasp -3 hp per cast

#

epic addled grasp -4 hp per cast

latent moon
#

Epic shot: +1 cast lmao

mint coral
#

If rarity affected curses it would be hilarious

#

Imagine epic -dash distance or +foes

white path
#

+foes is a double blessing because more obol

mint coral
#

Cap per room

#

Not enough to be worth

stiff obsidian
#

how does the ray of doom work

white path
#

Having never heard of it before, is it aspect of lucifer with ares attack and, importantly, dire misfortune?

stiff obsidian
#

just lucifer

white path
#

huh

mint coral
#

Do you mean how the ramp up works?

stiff obsidian
#

yes

mint coral
#

No clue dusa

white path
#

Then why do you specify doom when there's an actual Doom mechanic you don't mean?

stiff obsidian
#

nvm

twin thistle
#

because its prob just called ray of doom in game

mint coral
#

It is? dusa

#

Shield of chaos moment

white path
#

no????

#

It's not

stiff obsidian
twin thistle
#

nah its just beam attack

white path
#

"10 Damage, +0.75 per tick Total: 370 Damage for 20 Ammo Clip"

mint coral
#

Nice

stiff obsidian
#

so do you want % or flat dmg on it

twin thistle
#

flat

mint coral
#

Eris but laser

twin thistle
#

the ramp up is whatever

stiff obsidian
#

funny laser go pew pew

true sun
#

definitely flat

#

a ramp up build on lucifer pretty much needs that one hammer to make it work, and even then its exceptionally mid

#

take a % boon on the special tho

winged valve
#

with lucifer you should know that you can keep the beam on while dodging

#

so there's not much reason typically to not keep getting the ramp up

#

unless everything is dead

#

lucifer isn't bad the problem is if you're going to slap flat damage on the attack then meanwhile Eris is there and will buff your flat damage 75%...

pastel monolith
#

i feel like i havent played lucifer in ages.. i rly gota do a run next time i play

bright sentinel
#

Lucifer was kinda fun

#

Even though you can dash while shooting i still hated the brief pause though

#

And being planted in place otherwise

pastel monolith
#

yeah its a very weird aspect to get used to especially the special

#

but with the rifht hammers its pretty awesome

#

plus the laser beam is fun

#

even if its not super great, ita so different from everything else

winged valve
#

I think it would be more fun on keyboard and mouse where it's easier to use the special strategically

#

And choose to detonate the mines on purpose more easily

#

On controller these things are really awkward

pastel monolith
#

ya for sure. maybe it might be good to disable auto aim

#

it would be cool if you could trigger the specials somehow like a remote mine

twin thistle
#

theres a limit to how many can be active at once

#

so if you shoot enough the earlier ones detonate

pastel monolith
#

ya

twin thistle
#

more relevant with triple bomb

pastel monolith
#

triple bomb rules with luci

winged valve
#

that's a fair point, if you get that specific hammer

rustic thicket
#

are there boons that auto detonate lucifer's bombs??

#

i couldve sworn there was

#

nvm

gray apex
#

As in Zeus Special

rustic thicket
#

yeah i found it out

#

what's a good cast with poseidon's aspect other than crush shot

winged valve
#

I like poseidon's cast on poseidon aspect

twin thistle
#

lightning phalanx works

stiff obsidian
#

lucifer has a lot of aspect specific hammers which ones do you want to aim for

latent moon
#

none lmao

#

triple bomb is the best

twin thistle
#

flashfire is nice ig

latent moon
#

yeah that's not too bad

stiff obsidian
#

im running zeus atk so eternal chamber sounds real good but idk how much of my damage is actually coming from the ramp up

latent moon
#

it's actually a considerable amount

#

what are the other choices

stiff obsidian
#

concentrated beam and greater inferno

#

i took the triple beam hammer as my first one

latent moon
#

damn they all kinda suck

stiff obsidian
royal widget
#

oh does triple beam not work like bow?

latent moon
#

honestly no clue

stiff obsidian
#

i took it because i thought it would but i never really checked

latent moon
#

there's a lightning strike internal cooldown so you can't get 3 hits on the same target

#

but like i'd assume it'd ramp up the same so you'd get 3x of that

#

prob conc beam i guess

#

hopefully that doesnt mess with the internal cooldown

stiff obsidian
#

intense pew pew

#

wouldnt a % atk work better on it

twin thistle
#

you kinda just reload when you special so eternal chamber is pretty useless

raw herald
royal widget
#

Lucifer is like Achilles

#

i don't know how to play it

#

actually what is lucifer even good at

stiff obsidian
#

its looks cool

latent moon
#

it's basically clockets with 1 hammer

twin thistle
#

its good at being worse eris

latent moon
#

more or less yeah

royal widget
#

how is it for heat

raw herald
#

For modded 50 it’s very good imo

#

Just get big special and divine dash and ur ballin

royal widget
#

and still zeus attack?

twin thistle
#

yeah its still rail and rail gud

#

yep zeus

raw herald
#

Yeah

winged valve
#

you'r egoing to go for some kind of good cast combo

#

simplest one is probably just going for hunting blades. You get hunting blades on a maxed achilles, and you win the run, pretty much

fair basalt
#

i love the main theme

royal warren
#

Is it just me, or whenever Chaos says "face +30-60% more foes", it actually feels like +300% or so?

latent moon
#

And that's why we don't turn on jury summons folks

#

Also the cap for chaos roiling is 80% lmao
