#

you dont need plume yeah

mint coral
#

There's quick reload yeah

latent moon
#

you only need plume for beo

mint coral
#

Beo os the one that needs plume

#

Damn it

latent moon
#

since beo doesn't lodge so there isn't any dislodge

#

hehehe

stiff obsidian
#

🐌

mint coral
#

(or play stygian)

latent moon
#

stygian hera cursed

mint coral
#

Was referring to beo lmal

#

Trippy flare

stiff obsidian
latent moon
#

stygian beo also cursed tbf

stiff obsidian
#

only realized in asphodel

latent moon
#

lmfao

stiff obsidian
#

if share a short clip of my playing hera could someone tell me what im doing terribly terribly wrong

stone rune
#

ok

latent moon
#

half of it might be just hitting the shot lmao

#

or more poms

static shoal
#

ok how do i post a video

#

without uploading it to utube

#

because i don't have an anonymous youtube account

stone rune
#

upload to discord

static shoal
#

oh

#

wait

#

so like, another discord server?

stiff obsidian
#

i just have a youtube acc for saving and sharing vids

#

so i use that

jagged hamlet
#

Or message a bot, maybe

static shoal
stiff obsidian
#

theres a file size limit too

upper wolf
#

yo eris is busted

#

I usually gets around 17 min runs on 32 heat

#

I also did that on eris

#

with a 4 sack

upper wolf
#

why does it deal so much damage

static shoal
#

i took two videos

stiff obsidian
#

c4-6

#

with a chaos at end

#

clearly im missing shots but even otherwise i feel like im playing very inefficiently

static shoal
#

it's decent (i modded zeus special to be abble to trigger on chiron special)

#

idk why the cooldown exists tbh

#

hestia is still better than zeus + chiron without the cooldown

#

also i apologize for the absolutely terrible plays

#

i half-blame lag but it was mostly the anxiety of being recorded

#

this was the pact and build

#

suboptimal, i know, but idc

latent moon
#

wait does thunder flourish bypass shields

static shoal
static shoal
latent moon
#

damn cringe

static shoal
#

but chiron special backstabs REALLY well

#

so theseus is a breeze

stiff obsidian
#

but lightining doesnt backstab

latent moon
#

it doesnt look too bad tbh

static shoal
#

the special itself does, and that bypasses theseus shield

latent moon
#

i get the vague feeling that conc volley with a good % might be stronger lmao

static shoal
latent moon
#

although zeus generally has more scaling

#

jolted mainly

static shoal
#

i did have common jolt boon

#

unpommed

#

but also i couldn't find any supplementary zeus boons besides high voltage

#

and high voltage sucks for dps

latent moon
#

yeah kinda had the realization that zeus special doesnt have good damage scaling through poms

#

jolted is prob the only useful thing

#

and splitting

#

maybe double

#

it's a bit sketchy tho

static shoal
#

if i got a good amount of supplementary boons it would be a lot better

#

but i didn't

latent moon
#

happens lmao

static shoal
#

i didn't bother to, i took aphro attack lmao

#

uh Bananas

#

can you tell from that footage how many times thhe special effect hits?

#

does it look different at all? it's been literally two years since i've taken zeus special on chiron

wary iron
#

Isn’t Chiron generally too fast for all the lightnings to strike?

static shoal
wary iron
#

Oh

static shoal
#

i'm going to decrease it further tho lmao

#

0.05 is still too much evidently

wary iron
#

Well, from the footage I saw a great variety of lightning damage, either a lot of em missed, or the cool-down was still too much

latent moon
#

Or 534 once actually

wary iron
#

One time it was just 92 while another it was like 582 which feels weird idk, but that’s not 8 lightning + jolted I think

latent moon
#

Idk it's hard to tell atm for me lmao

wary iron
#

Idk

static shoal
wary iron
#

I’m not sure, but poison might still be quicker than that, especially with aphro attack + duo

static shoal
#

to be fair i have NO idea how to optimize a Zeus build

#

while Dio build is already optimized

wary iron
#

I think it’s just lightning special + jolted and that boon that can make it strike twice, pretty much like the Zeus shield ig

static shoal
#

idk anything about what scales with Poms/Rarity much

wary iron
#

On Chiron?

static shoal
#

ye but i couldn't get it

wary iron
#

What would be the advantage?

static shoal
#

so

wary iron
#

Additional damage just for the dash

static shoal
wary iron
#

I think the time difference between two dashes is more than enough to bypass even the normal cool-down

mint coral
#

Pos special % isn't that bad with rarity iirc

#

So getting the extra zeus dmg sounds nice

wary iron
#

But that would been Zeus attack, and the target here was Zeus speacial ig, but I guess that could work too, especially if you knock them closer with the special, then away again with tdash

static shoal
latent moon
#

Pos special has second highest % and can scale from shoals

static shoal
#

because every bolt knocks back

latent moon
#

It's still strong

#

Unmodded Chiron wr uses it

mint coral
static shoal
#

the first two bolts knock back the enemy out of range dude

wary iron
#

Oh might be, if that’s the case then it’s a very good option

static shoal
static shoal
wary iron
#

They backstab, don’t they? The bolts?

static shoal
#

how would wr bypass that

latent moon
#

Hitting more of them lmao

static shoal
#

if you stand farther they don2t backstabb

wary iron
#

Wouldn’t that knock them closer? And then you can knock them away again with t dash follow and repeat

#

But idk just an idea

static shoal
#

but at least it hits like 6 out of 8

#

if in backstab range

#

plus shoals is indeed a thing i guess

wary iron
#

Well poison is the way to go anyway I think

static shoal
#

the problem is that idr any good zeus duo boons

#

that would go with a lightning build

#

there is the legendary splitting bolt

#

but that ain't a duo

#

meanwhile poison has low tolerance

mint coral
#

You just want double strike/jolted as always

static shoal
#

ok, i uploaded two more videos on the modding channel

#

these showcase it a lot better imo

#

(also i played less worse)

#

this is the AoE clearing potential Zeused Chiron is supposed to have

#

it's the same run as the earlier two videos btw

#

i couldn't upload these to imgur fsr

stone rune
#

and you keep doing standing strikes

stiff obsidian
#

wdym by positioning

#

to line up stuff?

stone rune
#

and where you’re going to shoot the guys

stiff obsidian
#

huh

#

idk why i do standing strikes

#

happens on rama too and is annoying

#

does chaos sd get used up after or before athena

#

i guess that doesnt even matter

static shoal
#

ok something is extremely weird here

#

i experimented a little bit with Chiron + unmodded Support Fire

#

and only in the final boss fight, i am getting 3 SFire shots from each special

#

everywhere else i consistently get 2

#

it's so extremely weird

static shoal
#

if i'm in that fight at all, my specials spit out 3 SF shots

#

if i'm not, i get 2 SF shots

stone rune
#

chiron got sub6

#

gilga is the final frontier

mint coral
#

Was it bablo again

#

Nvm

stone rune
#

no mystic

mint coral
#

Damn
Hope cherry can get gilga

formal orbit
#

yeah

stone rune
#

yeah id pom or ambrosia

formal orbit
#

got replaced but dem is quite good actually

stone rune
#

probably pom tho

formal orbit
#

welp, 5 striker savior swordman in a small room

#

it is what it is

#

at least chiron is somewhat more decent than I expected

jagged hamlet
#

SHHHH jazz will hear you zagshock

formal orbit
#

nah, chiron for heat is pray for a decent tart

#

maybe ely too

#

I got screwed by ely

#

but it's not as bad as you expected

#

my zag rail run was worse in so many way

#

probably gonna go for 50 at the weekend, seem doable honestly

stiff obsidian
#

all aspects 50

formal orbit
#

the best I can give you is all weapon 50 if I feel like it

#

fist is dreadful to think about

stiff obsidian
#

gilgamesh ri3 PepeBusiness

stone rune
#

that looks like one dash strike away from all those numbskulls dying of wall slam disease

formal orbit
#

did you get double strike before jolted?

stiff obsidian
#

high voltage

#

lmao

#

worth erebus gate

#

and another 2 zeus appearances by c18

#

havent seen any other god yet

formal orbit
#

welp, you've won already

stiff obsidian
#

not really knowing me ill die to lernie

#

or time

latent moon
#

is that zeus shield?

stiff obsidian
#

yep

#

some bug with splitting right

latent moon
#

yeah

#

makes blocking weird when splitting is being active

#

so like

#

when you block just make sure the disk isn't out

#

and you should be fine

stiff obsidian
#

yea

#

is it bad enough to be worth selling?

formal orbit
#

you could always get lightning rod then hide in a corner

stiff obsidian
#

lmao that isnt as crazy as it sounds

formal orbit
#

I wouldn't sell it because you kill dad so fast it's not even problem

latent moon
formal orbit
#

for me at least

latent moon
#

just dont do the bad thing lmao

formal orbit
latent moon
#

rod kinda good

#

it's free damage

stiff obsidian
#

on its own its okay but with splitting and jolted it should be cracked

formal orbit
#

that's is the thing with all zeus boon actually

latent moon
#

yeah lmao

#

zeus isn't good because of lightning strike or thunder flourish (most of the time at least)

#

the kicker is jolted

#

splitting is also good

#

just a lot harder to get

stiff obsidian
#

oh i see what you mean about blocking bug

#

too bad i found out on double damage greatsheilds

formal orbit
#

eris em4 run with rod doing most of the damage without double strike or lego

#

just jolted

#

ZeusAttackBolt is jolted

#

tbf, haelian did hold back on using clockets and it's still second lmao

stiff obsidian
#

lol i knew id mess up somewhere

#

first try wouldve been funn

#

y

formal orbit
#

what hammer did you start?

stiff obsidian
#

explosive

formal orbit
#

the default is cshot

#

I forget to change that a few time actually

latent moon
#

this is why we take acorn

#

i think i've thrown a run like that before

stiff obsidian
#

i mean i have tooth

latent moon
#

i mean

#

that's like 1.25 of a dad swing with hl5 lmao

stiff obsidian
#

this em3 tho

#

i usually die in regular encounters so tooth

#

but it got 1 shot by a bomb

stiff obsidian
#

how do you play ME zeus shield

#

it feels even more clumsy than usual

#

or the aspect in general

#

can someone link a vid

latent moon
#

showo but the first run is zeus shield

#

for the record i didn't not watch the run so i have no idea what happens lmao

stiff obsidian
#

i just need to know like

#

pretty much everything actually

#

die to em3 twice in a row

latent moon
#

he uses cshot here

#

and also ares atk

#

although it's personal preference

stiff obsidian
#

i got red doom replace

#

on speciak

latent moon
#

same idea prob

#

idk

#

why are you doing ME zeus lmao

stiff obsidian
#

because i got the replace

#

monkey see red monkey take red

latent moon
#

lmfao

#

i mean you'd play it the same way more or less

#

i dont think it's too different, maybe more like aggressive

stiff obsidian
#

i dont think watching a speedrun is the best way to understand zeus for heat

latent moon
#

yeah lmao

#

idk most people dont do ME zeus for heat

#

i wouldn't stress about it too much just like

#

play how you normaly would tbh

stiff obsidian
#

me neither that was a specific run lol

stiff obsidian
latent moon
#

well dont do that

#

should help a lot

stiff obsidian
#

oh

#

you should write a guide

latent moon
#

so true bestie

#

tbf my guide doesn't teach you how to not die

#

and i'm nowhere good enough to write a guide on how to play each aspect lmao

stiff obsidian
#

i think

#

ill just not do zeus shield

short glen
#

Scourge's tip: instead of losing, get the world record

stiff obsidian
#

you should try one of those

short glen
#

True!

stone rune
short glen
#

Get more!

latent moon
#

lmfao based

latent moon
#

would be sick if it made it into a haelian video

formal orbit
#

How does crit work, x3 after or before all the additive

stone rune
#

after

#

it’s multiplicative

formal orbit
#

Seem like the expected value of aphro and arty is roughly the same without any supplements

#

Heartbreak flourish is slightly more than deathly flourish

#

On epic

latent moon
#

it's after all the additive except for the ME bonus damage and hoarding slash damage lmao

formal orbit
#

Might look further into it but the expected damage is not really far off each other

tepid light
#

Was in the middle of a good run and then I just lost all motivation and gave up for no reason

#

Wonder if I'm burning out already

rose roost
#

yea that's burnout

tepid light
#

I've been playing Hades like mad every day so that's not surprising

jagged hamlet
#

Burnout high five!

tepid light
#

zeus strike on hestia

#

wondering if it's worth it

#

took it anyway because now i have zeus, artemis, and demeter

#

time for some wacky duo shenanigans

tepid light
#

yep that went as expected

formal orbit
#

i don't know, try searching dps mod or smthing

static shoal
#

honestly now i wanna mod crush shot

#

to be ranged

#

like flood shot but inflicts weak

#

come to think of it

#

why is aphro cast melee

#

and pos cast ranged

#

makes little sense

native blade
native blade
heady monolith
#

y so expensive

static shoal
heady monolith
#

and what was the condition to unlock them

static shoal
#

ok i will regularly use poo from now on

#

Dyno can go poo himself

rose roost
#

not exactly sure what was the condition i just randomly unlocked them one day

mint coral
#

You need all the work orders iirc

#

And maybe smth else for specific themes

rose roost
#

I did have all the work orders completed, even then it took a while for it to apppear

static shoal
#

the wiki probably has all the unlock conditions

#

it definitely did for everything that "columns, divine" unlocked

#

because buying that particular one unlocks like half the expensive furniture in the game

#

and idk why

rose roost
#

#

I upload soon

static shoal
#

for massive damage in the 2100s

stone rune
#

yeah but it's more consistent

static shoal
#

i like seeing le big damej number

latent moon
#

big damage 15% of the time lmao

static shoal
#

uhhhhhhh so

#

do you guys remember me posting modded TFlo Chiron?

#

yeah i decreased the cooldown a little bit more

#

and just instaphased lernie with TFlo + Double Strike

#

to be fair both are Epic

stone rune
#

finally, with massive modifications and the help of a huge bug, chiron can experience the thing that a mediocre beo build has

static shoal
#

(TFlo is at level 4, DStr at lvl 2)

stone rune
#

double strike

static shoal
#

what is the bug

stone rune
#

double strike chance on some things including thunder flourish is way higher than on the tin

static shoal
#

ugh ofc it is

#

what's the real chance?

stone rune
#

nobody knows

static shoal
#

also i have Hydraulic Might equipped

stone rune
#

it’s just rlly high

static shoal
#

but i did get very close to my pb

#

but now i'm seriously wondering why the internal cooldown exists at all

short glen
#

Thought it'd be op without it and probably never tested if it was

static shoal
#

to be fair

#

this is the first time ever that i've beaten heroes in under a minute

#

and i had EM3 FO2 on

static shoal
#

but that straight up means it's not OP

stone rune
#

i think that is in general the main limiting factor right now

static shoal
stone rune
#

no

static shoal
#

eh, maybe a more skilled player than me would like to try

stone rune
#

nobody is ever going to speedrun chiron ever again

static shoal
#

the point is

#

if the player's skill can indeed limit the weapon/build, that means it should be allowed in the game

stone rune
#

why

#

what

latent moon
#

For speed it's special animation

#

Thunder flourish kinda fixes the aoe issue I guess but for the benefit of doubt I'll say it does

latent moon
#

For heat the special animation also limits it pretty hard too

static shoal
#

so the internal cooldown doesn't even need to exist

latent moon
#

I mean yeah I guess

#

But also like not much we can do about it lmao

#

Unless we mod it in but eh

#

Won't be leaderboard legal for anything but you can have fun with it lmao

short glen
#

If enough people are interested it can become a new leaderboard

latent moon
#

A leaderboard specifically for a better Chiron mod?

#

Unless you wanna rebalance like every aspect then that depends on how many people can download that

short glen
#

I mean theoretically. It would probably need to be part of a larger modded thing in practice

stiff obsidian
#

is it even that much better

latent moon
#

The internal cooldown thing? Def not for speed

stiff obsidian
#

i thought most damage came from jolted

latent moon
#

And not that much for heat although it is a bit better

#

Yeah lmao

stiff obsidian
#

i wonder why they wanted to add it anyway

short glen
#

If you boost the damage of each arrow enough you don't even need to target anymore

latent moon
#

Like Chiron will still suck in terms of speed

latent moon
#

It has less arrows

#

By 1 sure but it would matter at that point right?

short glen
#

Because chiron is the only one with the intentionally broken damage buff in this joke scenario

static shoal
latent moon
#

Lmao yeah even if we rebalance every bad aspect it won't shake up the meta that much

#

Even if we fixed beo

#

Hera would just be meta

#

And Achilles

#

And beo would probably be like second or third best still

short glen
latent moon
#

Yeah it is fun from a casual standpoint

#

But if we're talking about a leaderboard then we kinda have to consider those extremes

#

Like say sub7 or sub6 and 50 heat

stiff obsidian
#

it barely makes any difference at all

static shoal
#

plus

stiff obsidian
#

i think chiron is the only thing that hits the limit

static shoal
#

yes

#

that's the only problem that shouldn't be in the game

short glen
#

I had a vague idea for a mod that in addition to rebalancing weapons also rebalanced boons and hammers, and added more of them specific to each weapon

static shoal
#

the slow special animation really isn't that bad when you get used to it

#

plus

#

unlike sword special

#

it can't be interrupted, i think

#

i need to test it better to 100% confirm it but

latent moon
static shoal
#

i've never had a case where i've pressed the special button and not see the 8 arrows come out

latent moon
#

Pony better balance mod

static shoal
short glen
#

I could make another

static shoal
#

i'm making one as soon as i learn how to also edit support fire

short glen
#

I won't actually make one.

raw herald
#

Doesnt the pony one make Demeter dash do like 90 damage

latent moon
#

Hits 3 times or something

static shoal
#

this isn't smash šŸ˜›

#

i-

#

what

short glen
#

It's true

static shoal
#

on every aspect?

short glen
#

Not gilga

static shoal
#

also what is scroll dash

short glen
#

Scroll dash doesn't work on gilga

latent moon
#

Dash on scroll wheel

static shoal
#

oh i play on controller šŸ˜„

short glen
#

No meme tech for you IG

static shoal
#

maybe i can sit on the scroll wheel and dash with my posterior

latent moon
#

Either way the best way to balance Chiron is to make the special animation faster lmao

short glen
#

Here's how to make gilga strong: strong dash strikes instead of weak, no internal cooldown on dash, full size dash, maim doesn't boost enemy damage. There we go, no downside gilga. Except not being beo

latent moon
#

If you really wanna make the special better at least

Triple bomb timing

#

Technically I guess idk

#

P4 has a longer phase bubble animation lmao

#

Apparently

#

It's slightly longer than the others

agile basin
latent moon
#

Lmao

#

It's certainly is an option

agile basin
#

what is the idea behind it?
is the frame window to cancel special animation, that small?

latent moon
#

I think idk

agile basin
#

sounds like a challange for me šŸ˜Ž

I will not try it

Also, out of curiosity, can you get duo boons from the trial of gods

#

No

tepid light

I actually had a question relating to that
Can you get duo boons from other god combinations from a trial of the gods
e.g. getting athena/zeus duo from zeus in a zeus/demeter trial
Or is it a complete block on duo boons

complete block

Hey Supergiant!!

#

I have one comment that I hope reaches the team:

#

I love that you posted the sheet music for previous games

#

I thought it was brilliant to release actual sheet music for the OST that you have to unlock/access in-game

#

unfortunately, the music stand doesn't do that! (rip my expectations)

#

has the team considered including some sheet music with the music stand feature? (perhaps the songs aren't easily transcribable? I like that Darren already posted tutorials for two songs)

drowsy linden
#

the music stand is just so people can listen to music without actually going to the places, and i dont think any games would even provide music sheets for their songs, unless the creators themselves do it.

but they did it for Bastion and Transistor

Nyaanyaa's Fishing Guide
There can only be three fake bobs, so the fourth bob is always real if the first three were fake. Fake bobs have an interval of 2-5 seconds while the real bob has an interval of 1-2 seconds. So if it takes more than 2 seconds, it should be a fake bob. Meaning you should look for the real bob within a short time after you start fishing or within a short time after a previous bob.

Personally, I just look for the white flash above the bobber and ignore the bobber itself. Some players have said they have better success when putting their thumb on the bobber to not get distracted by that, so maybe you could give that a try.

A Perfect Catch means catching a fish within 340ms. Perfect Catches are 50/50 on being a legendary or rare fish. Any other catch is 50/50 on being a rare or common fish.

aight gonna be honest i'm about to sleep so i only watched 1 minute
first boon, just take the attack. you're using hades spear, you don't really need anything else except maybe like tidal dash from poseidon or divine dash from athena. you had dem for your first boon, nothing she offers is gonna be useful other than the attack.
also starting sigil is pretty worthless. for the first two biomes, you want to take god keepsakes. those let you control your build and have a better chance for you to get the build you want

#

i also skipped to the end and it's not a complete run so i can't really critique the overall build lmao

#

i can take a look at this later in the morning, or jazz might come around and give a review idk

#

also side note, hades spear is kinda just eh considering using the spin on spear kinda sucks in general

#

the bonus on achilles is equal to the hades spear debuff (at max level), but applying a buff to yourself on achilles is much more intuitive and easier than applying debuffs to enemies

#

and achilles can also lead into stronger builds more easily

spring crescent

that was super insightful, thanks man really apreciate it šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚

im still in my exploration phase, so was the second time ive used hades spear

i thought dem's increased healing was nice coz i got +4 each chamber rather than 3 from the start, but thats prob still not as good as an earlier attack boom. i got it later on

ig ill talk about the fight against the two spear dudes and the shielddude around 24 min in. youre mainly using standing strikes but cant stunlock all three at the same time which ends up with you eating a lot of damage. you want to be using dash strikes most of the time since they let you reposition while hitting fast and in a wider area. enemies lock on to your initial position during their wind up and usually cant retarget very well so you want to be constantly dashstriking around the edge or through a group instead of standing still. as for hades spear one tip is you can keep holding attack after inputting it for a dashstrike and itll transition into charging the spin. you can also release the spin using your dash instead of just letting go of attack, this'll give the spin better reach in a certain direction

spring crescent

That's extremely helpful, thank you!! So I should be standing still less - that makes sense. And I never thought to consider combining button inputs for a smoother transition
