Well, it’s greek myth, conversations about them will be somewhat linked in this context

More clones got it

Full god pool of Aphro, Ares, Pos & dem by sisters

#

None of it was optional

#

3:20 tart exit is on wr pace right

#

Just create a way too specific category and sure

rustic vale
#

Zag bow 32 heat w/ this specific god pool

#

ez

#

I just realised I turned em3 instead of like mm and uc

#

we’ll see how that goes

rustic vale
#

Think I might grab arte anyways

#

Chaos is offering HS for dash strike damage residentzag

#

Guess I’ll take it and just not touch the magma

#

And then I died to my own hubris

#

tardy aurora

imagine dying in a regular chamber lol - DD gang

#

Since we’re talking about stuff that is a spoiler in new players

echo scaffold
#

I deleted it

#

Mb

rustic vale
#

Or actually I guess we can stay in new players

echo scaffold
#

Nah it's fine

rustic vale
#

Just use || these around you message to spoiler things||

echo scaffold
#

My friend mentioned it to me

#

We can just talk here

rustic vale
#

It tanks your max hp, makes the entire moveset a bit heavier

#

And makes your spin throw out a lifestealing beyblade

echo scaffold
#

Is it worth it?

rustic vale
#

Yes

echo scaffold
#

How much lifesteal?

rustic vale
#

A flat amount

echo scaffold
#

Also is the beyblade act like Ares cast?

rustic vale
#

And the spin isn’t really what gets focused on for the majority of higher tier use

rustic vale
echo scaffold
#

I'll check it out

rustic vale
#

Also a little like zeus without the returning

#

The big thing

#

Is the heavy special

mint coral
echo scaffold
#

Oh yeah that

rustic vale
#

It has built in pierce and big damage

echo scaffold
#

That's how I got my first clear

Does it work with quick spin?

#

Yes

#

#

Great talk I gtg

rustic vale
#

Hmm

mint coral
#

There's also the 60 heat massive spin athena attack run lol

rustic vale
#

I could take triple now, or perfect shot and hold out for twin

#

Idk if I want to play melee bow with em3 on

mint coral
#

Triple on zag bow is fun

rustic vale
#

it is fun

#

Screw it I’ll take triple

stiff obsidian
#

if you have athena call em3 shouldnt be a problem

#

and flurry

rustic vale
#

Hopefully

#

I have athena in pool at this point

#

Now I just pray that parting shot doesn’t get in the way of HR and DR odds

#

Tf when you mess up with SD and now you have to intentionally get hit to reset it

#

I don’t have the right distance from the furies to properly shotgun them without getting hit back bouldy

#

This is why I like twin more

#

Bruh Than giving me the heart just messed up my audio que for fishing

rustic vale
# stiff obsidian and flurry

I took flurry because it was the best option for hammer 2 but goodness do I remember now why I don’t like it

#

It feels so much less satisfying

stiff obsidian
#

hmm

#

i find it the most easiest and satisfying

rustic vale
#

Something about powershotting just feels right

#

And flurry takes that away

#

Mind you it’s fine on hera and chiron

#

not on Zag though

#

With Hera I’m too focused on casting because it’s not second nature for me yet

#

So flurry helps

tardy aurora
#

whats the requirement to complete any of the sisyphus/ orpheus/ achilles quests

#

Work orders pop up for them

eventually

#

this comes from dialogue with

I believe.

#

It’s been a while

u do runs and talk with nyx,meg and hades i think

#

needed dialogue pops out after talking them about the matter after a while

#

u go to administrative chamber and it pops out to buy in contractor

covert hare
#

lmao i killed a miniboss and zagreus said " ugh, that thing " inmediately while i got an aphrodite blessing

#

imagine if she heard that

bleak tree
#

So who's everyone's favorite and least favorite gods to get boons from?

#

I think Athena is probably my #1. Not sure who I'd put as my least favorite. I know a lot of people say Demeter but I actually quite like the freezing debuffs for attack/special/dash and also the crystal cast

stiff obsidian
#

when i see demeter i die inside a little bit and when i see zeus it gives me a little high regardless of my build or aspect

bleak tree
#

Honestly, my least favorite might be Zeus??? Idk the lightning stuff has never been that great imo. Also not huge on Poseidon bc I use Talos Fists a ton and it's really annoying when I pull in enemies and my boon pushes them away immediately.

mint coral
#

I die when I see ares most of the time

bleak tree
#

Ngl, after doing a bit more thinking

#

Maybe Dionysus is my least favorite?

#

Which hurts because he's one of my favorites in terms of personality and character design

Does anyone know that maths behind call charge?

void vigil
#

i think it counts based on hits and not based on damage dealt...?

true oak
#

alright then

#

also receiving damage though

rustic vale
#

Hits matter more

#

But damage factors in to an extent

#

large hits will chunk the bar a bit more then a small hit but faster hits typically prevails

#

iirc

drowsy linden

yeah i also heard that somewhere

dmg has dimishing returns basically

it goes like

I just most of the time don’t end up fitting him in

#

Tdash is definitely best dash

lavish sorrel
rustic vale
#

But most of the builds I’ve been playing recently have needed ddash or

pos arty zeus > athena dio aph > dem ares

#

most of thr time

rustic vale

a different dash

rustic vale
drowsy linden
lavish sorrel
rustic vale
#

But I find myself quite a bit w/ my more recent builds taking dashes to fill duos

stone rune
#

i dont think ive completed more than 1 non beo run this month

rustic vale
#

ZAP dash is unbelievably based, as someone who used sword often enough shadesmile

lavish sorrel
rustic vale
#

But imagine having a dash that is interchangable with a t1 boon

lavish sorrel
#

even I as a poseidon sword enjoyer I dislike picking zeus dash

#

that should tell you how bad it is

rustic vale
#

This makes no sense to me

#

Also my prior statement was a joke about the zap dash sword bug

rustic vale
#

I don’t really get the uh

#

“Even as a pos sword enjoyer”

stone rune
#

actually ive only cleared 10 runs this month

lavish sorrel
#

poseidon sword has LP as a possible strategy, and one of the possible prereqs is zeus dash

rustic vale
#

and?

#

It’s not like I say I dislike taking zap cast on zeus shield for smair builds

#

even though zap cast is a prereq for smair

#

because 90% of aspects would just rather have zeus on a different core

#

Like sword would nab lightning strike

#

And then prereq is met

lavish sorrel
#

arthur or chiron to name two

rustic vale
#

my point being

#

Just because a boon has a prereq

#

Doesn’t mean you should enjoy taking that prereq because you build it

lavish sorrel
#

idk I play merciful end both ways around MercifulEnd ReversifulEnd

rustic vale
#

I wouldn’t say “oh I don’t like taking ares special on zag rail, even though I play ME”

#

Because it’s not even in the question

#

There are just different options to put it on

#

I’ve lost my own plot

#

Anyways

#

I’m kind of just sitting here without a build in mind

#

The game didn’t want to give me spreadfire for shackle zag rail

#

So I’m thinking a different build might be a good thing

#

Oh I’ve got inspiration

#

Bad inspiration

#

Thank you TheGamer

#

The perfect Lucifer build is now within my grasp

#

Honestly whoever let TheGamer cook with Hades builds needs to be fired

#

I just found the article and it has more builds for other weapons

How did I miss all the S in those words

“These are some of the best Hades builds for every weapon.”

# mint coral Thegamer build claim another player

“Boons hardly matter with this weapon, but Athena’s buffs are solid - they basically mean you can melt or deflect every projectile that comes your way, allowing you to be offensive and defensive at the same time.”

#

That’s what they said about Luci

mint coral
#

Ty thegamer

me when luci is the only rail that cannot get clockets

rustic vale
#

“However, if you can get Boons from Demeter and Dionysus you’ll increase your healing potential and overall survivability, meaning that as long as you balance aggression with evasion, you’ll be able to put down enough damage to annihilate mobs before they can touch you.” -notes on GY

#

Wait wait wait

#

“The Eternal Spear is an excellent hybrid weapon, but one of Hades’ most difficult Infernal Arms to master. To be honest, all of its Aspects are good, but if you want to be an expert you’ll need the hidden Aspect of Guan Yu.”

lavish sorrel
#

this almost looks written by AI

rustic vale
#

“You’ve got a lot of options for Boons here, but if you can get Poseidon knockback Boons with Ares’ Doom buffs, you’ll be able to mitigate incoming attacks while relying on ongoing Doom damage to slowly incapacitate your enemies.”

#

-on Beowulf

#

AI could pull off guides from actual players so it'll probably end up better zaglol

lavish sorrel
rustic vale
#

If you’re lucky enough to find a Daedalus Hammer with Explosive Shot or Triple Shot - which increase damage and the number of projectiles fired, respectively - every single mob in the Underworld becomes an absolute breeze.

Hold on hold on

I’m going to destroy this singular braincell

#

“However, the Stygian Blade’s strongest form is Aspect of Arthur, which provides you with a heavy attack designed to increase damage output within a certain radius.”

lavish sorrel
#

good night world, this comment was too much for me to handle

rustic vale
#

The Stygian Blade is the first weapon you unlock in Hades. It’s pretty reliable, dealing consistent damage and having a decent amount of control in terms of how you want to engage your opponent, but two of its forms stand high above the rest.

The first is its Aspect of Poseidon, which allows you to dislodge Cast shards from your opponents by attacking them. If you combine this with Artemis’ Boons - specifically Exit Wounds, which deals 100 damage per dislodged shard - you can rack up astronomical amounts of damage, with bosses becoming far easier to handle.

#

dw that’s the last line

#

Oh

#

Turns out there’s a “complete Hades guide and walkthrough”

#

Shall we take a gander there as well

lavish sorrel

Anyways

rustic vale

play freshfile uh I mean do a routine inspection 4 run

Both of those are certainly options

lavish sorrel

that doesn’t exactly answer my question

True

rustic vale

My last run was ME

not exactly trying to do it again

lavish sorrel

always the option of doing some random arthur run or whatever

hera or rama if you're into that

rustic vale

Any work I’m just lacking inspiration

Hera but with lightning rod croven

Thnx

all athena, thats it

#

I’m so used to regular play

#

There isn’t a button that feels right to remap cast to but I can’t have my thumb control dash, attack and cast

mint coral

I just swap special and cast usually

#

But also I play with mostly default stuff

rustic vale
rustic vale
#

I can’t imagine hitting more

jagged hamlet
#

That TheGamer article singlehandedly demonstrates why you should pay attention in school, especially English >.<

mint coral
#

Yeah but that's because most stuff dies on 1-2 casts

#

If I have more I'll load enough to kill whatever I'm shooting

rustic vale
#

Mechanically speaking I don’t think I can hit cast more than twice before I shoot off my dstrike

#

it just feels unnatural

#

My thumb just won’t

#

Maybe that’ll come w/ time

stone rune
#

i have jever pressed cast ever

#

useless

rustic vale
#

I’m typically loading from the start of the dstrike to the dfiring so maybe I should be loading earlier?

no cast buuld is good

Also for a rod centric build

Deadly strike or true shot

if u can do 32 u can do 40

Then my 40 heat would’ve been done by now

idk man

rustic vale
#

just like ignore all the stupid restrictions I put on myself when I was running 40 heat

#

the only environment where 40 heat is significantly harder than 32 is speedrunning

But apparently he still takes lava damage while in the air

Also I think the guan Yu standing strike combo has a jump

but first u have to beat the heat u chose so u can gain from other heat level

There is shop in front of zags room too u can trade 10 nectar to a diamond

lunge nova or something ? Idr

cursed slash is one with upside and downside, sometimes the upside is worth it but most of the time it isn't

world splitter on nemesis is entertaining because it basically turns you into weird budget arthur

What is supposedly the most broken things you can do with that?

obsidian linden
#

Well, we're all fishing for that...

#

I mean, something more like Zeus double strike and other stuff

stiff obsidian
#

rarity only rly matter on hermes chaos and doom i think

#

anything else should be fine with poms

tepid light
#

Tbh I never really understood the "rarity doesn't matter" thing

Like sure you could 'manage' when only having common boons or somesuch

But I don't think anyone could seriously make the argument that a common Aphrodite strike is just as good as an epic one

#

(To use Aphrodite strike as an example)

stiff obsidian
#

that was one of the boons i was thinking of adding to the list

#

otherwise other stuff should be alright

obsidian linden
#

Secondary effects, everything you sell is making you money

tepid light
#

Well aphrodite strike is just what immediately popped into my head

#

There's never a situation where you would want to have a common boon over an epic or whatever

stiff obsidian
#

yeah but theres not always a reason to roll a common boon for an epic one

tepid light
obsidian linden
#

I'm allways piss of when I get Epic Athena Dash

#

Put my luck elsewhere game

stiff obsidian
#

dio, zeus attack

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

i never said that or implied that

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

rarity doesnt matter as much*

tepid light
#

if what you mean is that "rarity is not a thing worth bending over backwards for when it's a good boon anyway", then sure, i can agree with that

obsidian linden
#

Rarity do matter when you are using very high damage multiplicative

#

That 3 difference become a fierce 72 later

tepid light
#

I mean at least in my opinion, even with things like zeus or dionysus strike, rarity still helps a lot

+15 damage rather than +10 damage on every single attack with something like fists really adds up

stiff obsidian
#

the majority of the boons you get cast, dash (except tdash) aid etc doesnt really care about rarity at all

obsidian linden
#

Exactly

stiff obsidian
tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

yes

#

that doesnt contradict what i said about rarity not mattering much

#

it does matter a bit but not much

#

and in the context of exclusive access dio strike wouldnt be the first thing you think of ' ooh now i can get epic dio strike'

tepid light
#

well, i guess all i can say is that mattering a bit is much different from not mattering at all

and yes, i am aware that is not what you yourself said

but again, the "rarity doesn't matter" thing always throws me for a loop when i hear it

İ think it gives u 100-150 darkness every time u clear the boss previously cleared i remember

They are going for the resources director ranks

Which takes 325k darkness

Just forgot about that

Either way

You got to 325k darkness

So how long did that take you?

We can take it as the extreme

If we compare it to someone actively darkness farming

Assuming 500 afk hours I have 950 hours

is the one dash thing from the mirror actually good?

upper wolf
#

not really

#

having two dashes is just too good

latent moon
#

Other than that it sees no use

upper wolf
#

oh, didn't know about high heat shield

lavish sorrel
stiff obsidian
#

doesnt very high heat shield just use ri3 instead of rr

upper wolf
#

rr

#

grrrrrr

stiff obsidian
latent moon
#

You can kinda get away with not having a second dash because of bull rush

tardy aurora
#

why havent i gained poseidons favor? i done the 25 fish prophecy so the 18 requirement is done, i got a fish rn if not multiple

drowsy linden
#

and also you need to not talk to him before getting the fish i think

#

since dialogue only appears on gifting, shop, trial, and first pickup

tardy aurora
#

oh cuz wiki says it can be from a prior run

drowsy linden
#

well that also works i think, but if poseidon's not giving generic dialogue, then keep talking

mint coral
#

Yeah is just rng issue

covert hare
#

i kinda dont like rng because of characters not being at home

#

or not saying something important

#

but i also like it

#

because it kinda gives it more realism

upper wolf
#

mfw I have to farm my grandma to get cookies (I need to exhaust her pool from all the racism)

polar latch
#

i'm trying to do hypnos' favor and i can't seem to be able to talk to thanatos? like the dialogue doesn't get initiated thanatos just keeps talking about other stuff

mint coral
#

The wonders of rng

covert hare
#

oh boy i sure hope this character talks to me about the current situation important to the lore

#

the character: hey i like that new weapon you are using

echo scaffold
#

What does the Arthur sword actually do

mint coral
#

press special, deploy aura that slows down enemies projectiles and gives dmg reduction

#

also disables traps

upper wolf
#

And wait 2-3 business day to swing the sword and obliterate everything in its path

#

Now I wonder if Arthur would be good if 3rd swing literally instaphased everything (or, y'know, just kill) and the second swing did enough to kill common enemies up to asphodel

covert hare
#

are there any requirements for unlocking the secret aspects?

#

i dont even remember how did i got guan yu

jagged hamlet
covert hare
#

i dont wanna spoil myself

#

guess il find it by my own

jagged hamlet
#

They're all individually spoiler-tagged too!

latent moon
#

You have to like

#

Talk to specific people

#

With certain requirements met

#

But yeah you can definitely find out on your own

#

I did that way

rustic vale
# covert hare i dont even remember how did i got guan yu

Post getting gy, ||you need 5 blood in a weapon and, aside from sword, to get a voiceline while using the weapon from the God who gives you the final voiceline, to finally be able to get a 2nd voiceline (can be acquired while using any weapon) to unlock it||

#

It’s not really lore

silk stone
#

why does unlocking all the secret aspects need aspect of guan yu sandrathink

rustic vale
#

But I figured I’d maybe spoiler it anyways

#

you need GY to get the rest of the hidden ones

#

It’s the first one you can get

#

that’s just how they (Super Giant Games) decided to go about it

silk stone
#

how to get ruthless reflex

marsh merlin
#

i just got the game today and i have already been to the boss of elysium lol

marsh merlin
#

is it just me or is Poseidon dash and Athena special together kinda op

marsh merlin
#

the sword

silk stone
#

oh

#

hmm

#

i guess yeah

marsh merlin
#

thats how i got to the elysium boss on literally my first time there

silk stone
#

it could be

marsh merlin
#

i had never made it to elysium and literally got to the boss first try with that combo lol

silk stone
#

im not new at all but i dont know the game much myself 😭 🙏

marsh merlin
#

tbf with that combo all i do is just spam dash and occasionally special and win easy because dash iframes

silk stone
#

so real

marsh merlin
#

its kinda stupid that it works but whatever idrc

#

i think ill just mainly play the sword a lot of the time because i have 5/6 of the weapons and its my favourite

silk stone

varatha

#

stygian is good too

#

i hate the bow 😭

#

too hard to use 👽

marsh merlin
#

so true

#

the bow is so hard to use

silk stone
#

yesh

latent moon
#

Y'all need to dash strike with it

#

Charges faster and makes it smoother to play

#

Turns into a rhythm game

silk stone
#

😔

latent moon
#

Makes bow easier to play

silk stone
#

i choose flurry something from the daedalus hammer when it comes

#

on da bow

#

whatg

drowsy linden
#

all mirror talents have 2 sides, a yellow-green and a purple.
click on the name of the talent to switch sides

#

the second dash is the purple side, ruthless reflex is the yellow green side

silk stone
#

WHAT

#

i never knew that

#

dayum

#

thanks

#

i thought i maxed out the whole mirror

drowsy linden
#

also please use the other side of olympian favor

#

its SO much better

silk stone
drowsy linden
#

use the green side

#

its called dark foresight

silk stone
#

oh okay

drowsy linden
#

looks like the decorations of an exit

rustic vale
#

Learning it later will only be harder

#

And it makes it 1000* better

#

Wait that responded wrong

rustic vale
upper wolf
#

Poseidon dash is one of the best boon in the game. Great damage that scales well with poms

#

And divine flourish is nice. Deflect is really cool against projectiles

#

Still, getting to heroes in less than a day is really damn impressive

wispy sinew
#

Someone wana give me a random challenge in mood to play again

latent moon
#

spin guan yu

tepid light
#

oh god

#

well yeah that's certainly a challenge

rustic vale
#

and then do spin guan-yu as Bananas suggested

covert hare
wispy sinew
#

Ok I will try 😆

rustic vale
#

Blindfolded Hades is a thing

#

the blindfolded modpack was made to be more accomadating for them iirc

latent moon
#

just ignore the rd

#

but honestly like it was pretty baller

#

sd wasn't used until ely

#

athena attack with massive spin

tepid light
#

huh

#

well, i won't deny the results

#

i just personally would rather eat broken glass than play that

latent moon
#

fair

#

it was like 53 secs overtime

silk stone
#

||is it possible for theusus to not have any god take his side if zagreus has a boon from each god in the game||

latent moon
#

i mean it might pick a random one, but i'm pretty sure it's impossible for that to have happen

rustic vale
#

Didn’t feel like linking to avictory in new players

#

But this run

#

Had like not that much technically skill

#

By that I mean spawn manip

#

And spawn manip alone

#

I was 100% doing enemy grouping

#

Which is a lot more core

#

But I was also just focusing a lot on mechanics at this point

#

So no you don’t need spawn manip for sub10

latent moon
#

you dont need it for sub8

#

well sub9 is more generous but i didn't do it for sub8

upper wolf
#

spawn manip is, like, going to a corner of the map to have mobs spawn closer together ?

latent moon
#

more or less

rustic vale
#

Ish

latent moon
#

that's like a very basic understanding of it but at the same time it's kinda all it is lmao

rustic vale
#

Also if it hasn’t hit you yet

#

My PB was over a year ago residentzag

latent moon
#

welp time to make a new one then

rustic vale
#

Time indeed

#

But do I really have the time to repick up Hades

latent moon
#

yes

rustic vale
#

Idk

#

I’ve managed to repick up heat

#

I think I may even be more consistent with heat then before

#

So I might shoot for higher heat rather then a speed pb

#

like 40

latent moon
#

that works too

void vigil
#

That’s like every boon lol

they did it because it sucks lol

''vanquis ||hades|| bearing cosmic egg'' like wear cosmic egg before the fight?

mint coral
#

Yeah

tepid light
ashen rapids
#

Oh okay

#

thanks!

latent moon
#

Doesn't make it good or useful

#

They did 59 non hell mode slicing flare

#

Still garbage tho lmao

echo steppe
#

hello, i had a question, if I have a boon that affects attack damage, would it also affect my spin attack, or just my normal attack?

latent moon
#

It'll also affect the spin

echo steppe
#

kewl

latent moon
#

The punishing sweep from hades spear doesn't affect spin damage tho

echo steppe
#

it was just a boon from chaos n then i got a daedelus upgrade on the spin attack

#

is it unusual that i have 160 hrs and had the game since 2020 and yet have only gotten past elysium and no farther lol

#

i see a lot of ppl talking about heats in this game and demeter and i still have encountered none of it

mint coral
#

Both are post first win

#

Or hell mode for heat

echo steppe
#

i figured

mint coral
#

Wait no, dem isn't post first win

#

Just reaching the final boss is enough

echo steppe
#

no yea i still haven't gotten to the final boss lol

#

i don't even think i'm Bad at the game i just... go at a slow pace i guess

#

not like in the gameplay but as far as trying to get further along

winter plaza
#

i never thought about this but what is the criteria for getting a duo boon?

#

like can both gods offer it at the same time or is there a formula to it?

rustic vale
#

You just need certain boons to even be able to get them

#

Requirements are viewable in your codex

winter plaza
#

i figured sometimes that maybe you get it from the second god you got the prerequisite boon for

winter plaza
#

i just didn't know if there was an order to it

rustic vale
#

you can get it from either god

winter plaza
#

okay thanks

covert hare
#

is there any reason for why i havent seen the legendary boon of every God yet?

#

or just bad luck

mint coral
#

Could be luck or that you didn't pick the requisites to open them in first place

jagged hamlet
#

Are ya meeting the prerequisites?

rustic vale
covert hare
mint coral
#

Do you have the codex upgrade yet

rustic vale
#

Otherwise the wiki page for each God has them

mint coral
covert hare
mint coral
#

Yeah

#

The list also shows the prerequisites for boona

covert hare
#

ooooooooooooh

#

i see

#

ugh but paying attention to all of this is kins of a chore

#

maybe i should just try to get them naturally

mint coral
#

You can open the codex even while picking up boons

#

You'll memorize the requisites with time but for now just open it before selecting what to take

rustic vale
mint coral
#

(also no need to memorize everything, just the good duos/legendaries)

rustic vale
#

Especially for like Divine Protection where there is only one boon that even opens it

mint coral
#

Dio legendary is also a tricky one

#

Cuz his isn't opened by a core + t2

rustic vale
#

Or arte legendary where you need 2 of 3

covert hare
#

yeah i think im just gonna ignore it until completing the codex is the only thing left to do

#

i dont wanna overheat my brain

rustic vale
#

Just opening your codex to check whether any of your options open up a legendary shouldn’t overheat your brain, hopefully

#

You just pick up a boon then chekc the god’s list and be like “huh oh brilliant riposte is an option and lets me get divine protection, I think I’ll take it”

ashen rapids
#

Guys what is the ''God mode'' in the settings

covert hare
#

when a game gives me choices i die inside

Wanna test it?

ok

extreme measures 3 sure was a surprise

rustic vale

( i have no revives left )

rustic vale

#

Just keep your hp above 0 while reducing enemies hp to 0 and you'll be fine

covert hare
#

oh

drowsy linden
#

em3 is mostly just asterius shockwave and spin

covert hare
#

i was so scared when i first saw them tho

drowsy linden
#

and the occasional bomb simulating hs

covert hare
#

wow the spin attack from father did 80 damage

#

well

#

there goes my win streak

drowsy linden
#

boiling blood moment

covert hare
#

idk what to do

rustic vale
#

Just don’t get hit by his skulls

covert hare
#

so i guess that means im not ready for winning with em3

earnest vine
#

Rush Delivery seems really fun to use

mint coral
#

and super good

earnest vine
#

How would I build around it

mint coral
#

you don't really built around, it supports any build

#

just take hyper sprint from hermes and hope rd shows up at the 2nd hermes

drowsy linden
#

free 50+ percent damage

rustic vale
#

Especially with hyper spront

rustic vale
drowsy linden
#

greater recall better smh

rustic vale
#

just get a purple rd

covert hare
rustic vale
#

Also since movespeed is multiplicative

rustic vale
drowsy linden
#

smh its 125%

mint coral
#

depends on your average clean time but still

drowsy linden
#

"average clean time"
hades is about housekeeping???!!?!?!?!

mint coral
#

I mean...

#

you do redecorate and clean up the house dusa

earnest vine
#

Is heavy knuckle good

mint coral
#

not really

drowsy linden
#

depends on god/aspect

mint coral
#

you usually build for on hit effects like zeus due to your low base dmg

drowsy linden
#

if youre using talos, its fine
if demeter, horrible
if youre using zeus on attack, horrible

rustic vale
#

Not really

#

oh wait I was in the past

#

Eh somenoobdying had the saeme thought process

mint coral
#

if you wanna build it is better to keep a c1 heavy knuckle seed so you can force aphro or arte

drowsy linden
rustic vale
#

Heavy knuckle is really just worse spreadfire zagrail

covert hare
mint coral
#

yeah tight deadline prob not for you then

rustic vale
#

TD is just win faster

covert hare
#

and now you want me to do them under time pressure?

#

and yes i know time freezes when you have to make a choice

#

but my point stands

rustic vale
#

because you have infinite time to make decisions

#

It’s just about playing a bit more efficiently when you’re in combat

#

and you can just try td1 out first

#

Then work your way up once the time crunch is less of a crunch and more just second nature

mint coral
opaque fable
#

oh nice

earnest vine
#

Won again

#

Is it just me or is it way easier after the first win

mint coral
#

is a common feeling

earnest vine
#

I don't have to spoiler stuff in this channel right

drowsy linden
#

yes, its spoiler free

opaque fable
#

getting to dad seems way easier after the first time around

#

probably because i got better? i hope so

#

extreme measures is the extra boss mechanics one right

mint coral
#

yeah

opaque fable
#

not in game

earnest vine
#

So that's good

drowsy linden
#

you should try heat 32, itll boost your confidence

earnest vine
#

No

#

Where Skelly??

#

Nvm

#

How many runs did it take everyone to beat Hades for the first time

mint coral
#

45

earnest vine
#

My confidence is now though the roof

mint coral
#

something something one of the top players took 50 and some attempts

earnest vine
#

Took me 19

#

I mean they improved

#

Alot

#

Still, the reason I did it somewhat quickly is probably because I have experience with other roguelikes

mint coral
#

speedy

earnest vine
#

And didn't have to learn EVERYTHING

earnest vine
mint coral
#

hades was my first roguelike

rustic vale
#

Although

#

I sucked at video games when I started playing

#

Like all of them

earnest vine
#

I had thorough experience

#

Which explains it

rustic vale
#

I think roguelite experience may make you better at other roguelites

earnest vine
#

I played them ALOT

Thirty runs!

and a lot of experience with dead cells on mobile but we dont talk about that

#

around 30 for me

#

now that I think about it, I still have that save file, isn't there a quick way to check in game when I got my first win ?

covert hare
#

spread fire upgrade on rail sucks

#

half range and half max bullets for a damage upgrade that is not even worth it

mint coral
#

is fun on zag rail

covert hare
upper wolf
#

technically true

#

in that it is MUCH more fun

#

spread fire on zagrail is amazing

mint coral
#

ricochest is nice for hestia and that's it really

upper wolf
#

I don't feel like going through my 400+ record to see when I first won tbh

#

maybe if one day I'm bored out of my mind

drowsy linden
#

just mash until you get to 1, then go from there

then go to your tv and watch something

what if tv sucks

marsh lily
#

go outside

... you got me there

take a shower

I feel like taking a shower outside would be a bit challenging

Never tried though, maybe I'm wrong

A bottom tier sword hammer

upper wolf
#

hoarding is useless

rustic vale
#

No

#

It’s not useless

upper wolf
#

almost useless

rustic vale
#

Yes

upper wolf
#

the damage is not improved by any other source

#

and very low

marsh lily
#

hoarding does suck unless you are trying to do a hoarding run

upper wolf
#

and only on standing strikes iirc ?

rustic vale
#

The amount of obols you have to have are too much

rustic vale
#

all strikes

covert hare
rustic vale
#

So it is better than at least 4 other sword hammers

drowsy linden
#

fair

rustic vale
#

But the obols you need for it to be worth it should be spent asap

#

Btw even with 3000 obols, dedge, and 3 dashes

#

It’s not enough damaage

marsh lily
#

my favorite hammer has to be Exploding Launcher

rustic vale
upper wolf
#

even on a hoarding slash run the increase in damage is pretty low. Plenty of other hammers would give you more, even in such a run

rustic vale
#

I mean dedge doubles your hoarding

#

Pretty rad

marsh lily
#

just did a Artemis hydro Exploding Launcher run and it was crazy

upper wolf
#

Exploding launcher is amazing. It should be baseline on spear (except arthur) because the special is sooo clunky otherwise

upper wolf
#

~~actually hoarding slash is a subtle critic on greed and not intended to be good 🧠 ~~

rustic vale
#

I personally put it above 6 other sword hammers

marsh lily
#

hydraulic might i mean

rustic vale
#

also exploding launcher is built into guan-yu

#

That’s the best part of Guan-yu

#

you just need charged akewer alongside exploding launcher/GY
