I always have v-sync off anyways

#

it creates noticeable input delay

granite ether
#

Ye plenty of games hard cap frame rates for whatever reason

rustic pelican
#

any ideas on why vulkan just stops my wireless controller from working on my desktop computer?

#

I don't have that issue on my steamdeck

#

(albeit a different controller)

lavish sorrel
#

I play the game at 15 regularly because bad hardware, I agree it actually feels somewhat comfy

I do need to say that it only feels like a slideshow if the framerate is dropped through occasional but sudden lagspikes as opposed to generally low framerate with normally distributed frames.

stiff obsidian
#

15 fps?

lavish sorrel
#

Yes bouldy

stiff obsidian
#

wow

#

whats the highest lv boon you can have before hades

mint hatch
tardy aurora
mint hatch
#

Idk that would depend on how many bits are used to represent a boon's level

#

But realistically even if every room was a pom you still wouldn't reach that limit

tardy aurora
opaque fable
#

is there any way to manipulate seeing more chaos boons other than by buying the thing from charon's well

tardy aurora
#

like whats the damage peak with 1 weapon, 1 boon

opaque fable
#

doesn't it only make you take less damage while going in?

#

and more rares

tardy aurora
#

and ur right so idk

opaque fable
#

trying to play stygian soul with dem start

mint hatch
#

Chaos is the reason I steer away from cast builds

opaque fable
#

mirage shot doesn't work with crystal beam right

mint coral
#

It does

mint hatch
#

It does

opaque fable
#

does it just spawn a 2nd crystal with 30% damage

mint coral
#

The only thing it doesn't work is thunder flare (beo) and that's more bc of a dumb reason

mint coral
#

Been a while

mint coral
mint hatch
#

Wouldn't that make the second beam deal full damage too?

#

I remember crystal beam being stupid strong but not that strong

mint coral
opaque fable
#

honestly i'm not playing super seriously rn

mint coral
#

Also crystal beam "good"

opaque fable
#

just memeing around for giga high rolls

#

forcing crystal clarity

mint coral
#

(as aside, if you want mirage being broken, use beo)

mint hatch
opaque fable
#

yeah i learned yesterday that each stone reloads on its own timer

#

it doesn't load sequentially

#

made stygian soul a lot better

mint coral
#

Fully loaded on cast builds is a myth

opaque fable
#

just hit gigachad

mint hatch
#

What?

opaque fable
#

level 7 crystal beam out of tartarus

#

do people not say "hit" when they get what they want?

mint hatch
#

dunno

mint coral
#

Big crystal

mint hatch
mint coral
#

Joke on how it always shows up on random builds but refuses to appear for cast builds

#

Specially true on the non lodging casts

#

Cuz no exit wounds to use as pre requisite

mint coral
#

Pomming that is super funny

mint hatch
#

I hate it when you have a lodging cast with stygian soul and you get Bad news from hermes

#

Greater recall and bad news? Now those are myths

mint coral
#

I've seen bad news a lot more cuz using hermes keepsake also opens the legendary

#

Greater recall though bouldy

mint hatch
#

Even though it has more unlock paths

#

But I much prefer it since it's not just a number boost

#

Feels like a legendary

opaque fable
#

wow this is both a real lucky and unlucky run

#

no chaos for extra casts but i just hit bad news

#

bad news is just 50% damage for non lodging right

mint coral
#

Is bugged so its 50% global dmg but for the sake of your build yeah

opaque fable
#

this is so scuffed lmao

mint coral
#

Bad charon well luck too I assume?

opaque fable
#

i hit a few cast wells which was nice

mint coral
#

Using hourglass might be the play at this point lmao

opaque fable
#

i see a prometheus stone in elysium exit that might be the play

#

i always hit fullly loaded dw

mint coral
#

Do you have rerolls left? (Assuming you have the duo already)

opaque fable
#

no rr

mint coral
#

Rolling on wells is fun when possible

opaque fable
#

this is heat 5 so i can probably just beat dad by playing safer anyways

#

my beams are doing 60 a tick this is so dumb

opaque fable
#

too skilled at this game

#

got another promethus stone from well too

last veldt
#

Nice. Easy game...

#

Hourglass in Styx always curses me to get no wells before the sack.

#

Though I've taken a late attack boost from Patroclus into Dad a few times with it.

mint coral
#

Hourglass doesn't affect patty items?

stiff obsidian
#

it doesnt yea

opaque fable
#

who needs chaos luck when you have well luck gigachad

mint coral
#

Even without the charon wells you already hit fully loaded lmao

opaque fable
#

the most recent stone came from fateful twist too

#

99% of gamblers quit before they win big

last veldt
#

Huh, maybe I misread then. I thought I'd got to Dad with attack boost still in effect.

opaque fable
#

er, does bull rush not refresh itself when you charge with it still active?

mint coral
#

Hm?

opaque fable
#

or is this an interacting with trippy shot

#

cuz i have 3 stones and when i go to cast my 2nd volley my 2nd and 3rd aren't empowered despite using bull rush between volleys

lavish sorrel
# opaque fable no rr

"No ruthless reflex" bouldy

People abbreviate that to "rolls" since "rr" is already taken

opaque fable
#

alright lets see what em4 is about

#

surely it will be fine

mint coral
#

Have fun

opaque fable
#

the fact that even going up to 32 heat doesn't even consider this makes me slightly concerned but it's fine

mint coral
#

I'll wait for post fight to explain a bit but yeah, just keep your hp above 0 šŸ‘

opaque fable
#

first try lets go

mint coral
#

Gg

#

The tl;dr for em4 is that it snowballs hard with all your pacts

#

And well is just considerably harder

#

And his summons can rekt you hard

opaque fable
#

yea cerberus caught me completely off guard

mint coral
#

Also a massive time sink vs normal dad

opaque fable
#

the fact that he has a healing move was uh

#

a bit wild

mint coral
#

The healing is fun if you have the dmg to out dps him

opaque fable
#

is there any way to stop him or are you stuck blasting him until he gives up

mint coral
#

For dog the best you can do is go to bottom right corner and pause buffer

mint coral
mint coral
opaque fable
#

i think i didn't get hit by it? i couldn't really tell

#

(didn't help that i don't have any companion calls yet so idk the attack pattern) kekw

mint coral
#

Is rare to get hit by dog/rocks but is super punishing if you do get caught on it

#

Phase 1 is basically the hardest of super dad thanks to summons

#

Acorn gets squished by B.balls or sneaks

opaque fable
#

no doubt about that, for sure

#

even on reg dad the adds are extra annoying

#

they have obscene amount of armor

mint coral
#

Sneaks are the most pain in the ass when playing rama

#

Have fun trying to charge a shot bouldy

opaque fable
#

does phase 3 have new moves or is it just the darkness

mint coral
#

Just darkness

opaque fable
#

i was busy keeping distance and trying to not die

mint coral
#

If he summons it first just get enough crystals on field before the 2nd set of summons and nothing will appear

#

Gameplay aside

#

Did you enjoy the music zaglol

opaque fable
#

was banger

#

i can't imagine playing this with extra speed or more damage

#

spins dealing 40 is already bad enough

mint coral
#

Or extra health

opaque fable
#

oh boy yeah

#

genuinely think if i had +15% hp pact i would lose

mint coral
#

So yeah super dad just snowballs hard from the pact and so people don't touch it till like 55+ heat lmao

#

I did 45 super dad and had less difficulty on normal dad 50

opaque fable
#

i'm glad i got to experience it though

mint coral
#

I still use em4 for fun runs though

#

It is a fun fight normally

opaque fable
#

oh heck i didn't even consider the 3rd phase requiring more time

mint coral
#

I think angel lost a 64 heat run once cuz of time

#

Dad did darkness at the last second

opaque fable
#

that's so brutal

#

speaking of darkness, can dad actually hit you while he's invis

mint coral
#

Nah

#

He's completely gone

mint coral

opaque fable
#

oh huh, td running out doesn't autokill you?

you just lose 5 hp every second

#

Hi

#

What is the best bow build?

#

Its been very hard for me to choose which one is the best aspect for it as well as the best boons to prio

opaque fable
#

hera crush shot is very powerful

#

rama likewise

plucky turtle
#

How bout chairon

mint coral
#

Somehow that's the best tipo I've seen of chiron

plucky turtle
#

Lol

mint coral
#

Chiron is the worst of the bow aspects sadly

#

Hera/rama on top for speed/high heat respectively

#

Zag bow is vibing

plucky turtle
#

Zag is actually good?

#

Damn

mint coral
#

Solid enough

plucky turtle
#

I hated it lol

opaque fable
#

it deals damage

#

which is nice

mint coral
#

Are you dash striking?

void vigil
#

Bow my beloved

plucky turtle
#

Mostly

mint coral
#

Then is probably more preference at that point

plucky turtle
#

Is rama worth it

mint coral
#

Zag bow is basically a rhythm game once you get the timing for dash strike powershots

#

Rama is super fun/really strong

plucky turtle
#

But the special is not too good

#

For zag

#

I feel like

#

Yeh

mint coral
#

That's why you don't use it

#

Or at most to clear a bunch of projectiles

plucky turtle
#

Exactly

opaque fable
#

yeah you just keep dash striking

mint coral
#

Rama uses both stuff (people do special only runs dusa) but its main draw is the attack too

#

Is also slower so it may won't be a favorite of you

stiff obsidian
#

people do zagbow special only runs too

#

we just have to find them

plucky turtle
#

Ive seen a lot of people going like chiron being the best an all

#

For homing

opaque fable
#

it's also turbo slow and dies to trying to kill 2 units at the same time kekw

plucky turtle
#

So rama or hera?

#

I hate to reload

#

So ill just go rama

void vigil
#

All the Chiron hate cryingseal it got me my first EM4 clear

#

Tbf that was pre-nerf

#

I don’t play Rama much but Hera is super strong if you get the right cast

plucky turtle
#

Exactly

mint coral
plucky turtle
#

U need wine guy to give u his cast

mint coral
#

But you asked for best so you aren't catching me recommending chiron

opaque fable
#

trippy hera is not cooking

mint coral
#

Also nah

#

Hera best cast is aphro's

opaque fable
#

you just turbo force crush shot

#

i've legit never tried hera with any other cast

mint coral
#

Phalanx is fun just don't miss

#

Or your casts go flying

plucky turtle
#

I hate to like actually go to pick up bloodstones

mint coral
#

And trippy hera still has mirage shot bug which is smth

plucky turtle
#

Lop

mint coral
plucky turtle
#

Ill go hera for now

#

Ill grind for rama later

Fighting ||Charon|| feels like goddamn dark souls
I put so many hits on that cretin and he does 48 damage PER HIT in Tartarus

#

Doesn't help that I was running the chaos shield which I legitimately can't stand because it feels like the added shields do jack all

drowsy linden
#

50*

karmic mason
#

It was 48 for me ig

drowsy linden
#

also yes chaos shield is garbage

karmic mason
#

But still what in the hell

drowsy linden
karmic mason
#

How much health does that bastard have

covert hare
#

actually dont say it

karmic mason
drowsy linden
#

not a whole lot, it should feel like a regular dad fight

#

he's actually fine after a while

karmic mason
#

100% no
I think I took out a third of his health with three death defiances

#

The chaos aspect sucks ass ig

Wow it's bad

Bro I play Noita I'm familiar with the agony loop LaughZoom

drowsy linden

dont worry theres worse than ||charon|| in terms of damage

karmic mason
#

It's not the damage, I can deal with massively heavy hitters. Hades already hits like a freight train
It felt like I was whittling his health down with a butter knife while he was using a great axe

drowsy linden
#

thats just chaos shield

#

you werent doing anything wrong besides use chaos shield

karmic mason
#

Back to Zeus

drowsy linden
#

chaos shield is fine if you get the charged shot hammer and spam it

#

basically on zag and chaos shield, you never special

stone rune
#

you dont have enough damage

karmic mason
#

I kept throwing the multiple shields thinking "this'll do more damage" and then I just started attacking him outright and neither one did any more damage lmao

stone rune
karmic mason
#

a) what in the goddamn
b) why the constant pausing

stone rune
#

positioning

drowsy linden
#
  1. hidden shield
  2. pause buffering is cool
karmic mason
#

how do you do that aspect like that it sucks I can't stand it lmao

stone rune
#

beowulf

#

sucks?

karmic mason
#

for me

stiff obsidian
#

It does

drowsy linden
#

step 1:
get cast
step 2: get mirage shot
step 3: profit

karmic mason
#

skill issue apparently but I legitimately can't figure it out whatsoever

stone rune
karmic mason
#

It doesn't abide by any rule of the game I've learned so far

stone rune
#

its the best aspect in the game

drowsy linden
stone rune
#

not rlly

#

its still very good on just passion flare

karmic mason
#

wait hold on
is the aspect good because of merits or because of cheese

stone rune
#

what differencr does it make

#

just get mirage

#

its a good aspect anyways

#

people still used it before knowing cshot was good or that mirage was bugged

drowsy linden
#

mirage shot has a glitch where the mirage doesnt get less damage
so its just double damage

stone rune
#

its a different build but its not bad

karmic mason
#

what's mirage shot again

drowsy linden
#

additionally, trippy flare gets double damage from poms(so first pom gets you to 220 damage instead of 160)

stone rune
#

it can clear 60 heat

stone rune
karmic mason
#

so let's just say that it's high skill ceiling and leave it at that because I have no idea what the hell you dudes see talking about lol

#

I prefer to hit the button and do damage lol

stone rune
#

it’s pretty easy to use

karmic mason
#

Zeus aspect good šŸ‘

stone rune
#

zeus is good too

drowsy linden
#

zeus is actually more complex than beo to use imo

stone rune
#

but definitely much harder to use

karmic mason
stiff obsidian
#

I like ur counterpoint

drowsy linden
#

for beo, you do this:
pres cast 3 times
dash strike(or standing even though its worse)
charge
release

congrats, you have now decimated the underworld

stone rune
#

dont press 3 times every time

#

thats a path to frustration

#

just learn ur breakpoints or cycle them 2/1

last veldt
#

Or grab an extra and go 2/2.

drowsy linden
#

no i must load 3 casts on trippy mirage beo even for an unarmored cloned numbskull

karmic mason
#

Waaaaaaait Charon and Hypnos are brothers?

#

Greece lore?

covert hare
#

greece lore is so complicated

#

the only reason everyone arent brothers is because they have different mothers

#

but their father is always zeus

drowsy linden
#

the titans:

karmic mason
#

Is Artemis' Aid ever worth it? Seems like one of the worst ones to me

rustic vale
#

it's definitely not the best call

karmic mason
#

Ares and Aphrodite share the S tier in my eyes

#

Ares obvs but Aphrodite's greater call is a fantastic way to end a boss fight early

drowsy linden
stone rune
drowsy linden
#

ares is really bad later on because you cant attack, so it actually decreases your damage

stone rune
#

how is ares obvious at all

karmic mason
stone rune
#

ares is literally the worst call in the game

drowsy linden
#

aphrodite is just bad
USE ZOOS

stone rune
#

bar none

karmic mason
stone rune
#

i would much rather have no call than ares

karmic mason
#

HUH

#

WHAT

stone rune
#

ares just lowers your damage output

#

for 0 reason

karmic mason
#

Are you bsing me

stone rune
#

no?

karmic mason
#

Dude what

stone rune
#

calls go zeus = dio > athena > aph = pos > arty > dem > ares

#

and ares is way at the bottom

karmic mason
#

ZEUS FIRST????

#

Zeus leaves you WIDE open

stone rune
#

do you actually know anything about calls

#

like have you ever used them

karmic mason
#

Yeah???

stone rune
#

dawg

karmic mason
#

Ares is great fym

drowsy linden
#

aphrodite is mainly bad because you HAVE to use the greater call, which is only for bosses/really weak runs
zeus and dio are generally the best calls since they deal insane damage and can be used at 25% without sacrificing much

stone rune
#

you'll understand when you're older

karmic mason
#

I only ever really use greater calls tbh

stone rune
#

oh

#

well there's your issue

#

lol

karmic mason
#

No really? Most non-greater calls kinda suck

stone rune
#

you use calls wrong therefore your idea of what calls are good is wrong

drowsy linden
#

use 25% for rooms/minibosses

stone rune
#

and bosses

karmic mason
#

I exclusively use them on bosses

stiff obsidian
#

Once I used ares call and I almost killed a thug it was awesome

stone rune
drowsy linden
covert hare
stone rune
#

it locks you out of dealing any damage

#

in exchange for pitiful damage

karmic mason
#

ain't pitiful tho

stone rune
#

yes it is

stiff obsidian
#

It is definitely pitiful lmao

karmic mason
#

Unless your bar for good damage is that baeowulf vid from earlier

#

Because I have no goddamn clue how you do that

true oak
#

I'd take ares if i had vicious cycle maybe

stone rune
#

vicious scam

drowsy linden
#

scam cycle is epic

stiff obsidian
#

I'd take ares call if I'm on ap2 and have no rolls

true oak
#

i think the safety is something at least even if it's slower than zeus

karmic mason
#

I legitimately feel like you guys are bsing those boons are great

stone rune

when everyone in chat is telling you it sucks

When my experience is otherwise tho lol

#

what mods are used for speedrunning?

Everyone’s experience is different and not everyone is optimising for damage, heat and speed - while the meta in the game is very defined by now please still be mindful that not everyone plays that way. Also just be nice. That’s all :)

oh boy! time for unmodded session! who's ready to reset for 3/13 chance every 5 minutes?

If you are speedrunning u got to lmao

stone rune
#

oh yeah lemme just keep a 4 min out of aspho run or something

drowsy linden
#

"modded" generally refers to speedrun modpack, which does the following:
removes thanatos
removes asterius miniboss
removes barge
guarantees sack in second tunnel
gives 4 boon choices when offered
guarantees first hammer and boon choice

stone rune
#

of course u reset

karmic mason
#

Feels like speedrunning kinda kills the rougelite part of rougelite

stone rune
#

to get good pace and boons

#

if the time out of asphodel is literally more than the goal time already theres no reason to keep playing

drowsy linden

#

the shield is annoying

stone rune
#

i love asterius midboss! i love 1exit thats not chaos eligible and a significantly longer fight!!!

latent moon
# karmic mason You reset?

for the times you see at the top of the leaderboard, you unironically have to reset for at least an hour for a usable tartarus

stone rune
#

eh not rlly

#

you can get a sub130 in maybe half an hour if you want to

latent moon
#

i mean

stone rune
#

out of tart

karmic mason
#

wait
wait wait wait wait
Confirms sack in second tunnel???
Literally removing the rougelite from the rougelite wtf

rustic vale
#

aside from that

latent moon
#

you might get cucked out of 1st boon and hammer easily
and even if you do get both, there's no guaranteeing a good tart

rustic vale
#

nothing

stone rune
#

why would you not remove the coinflip at the end of the run

latent moon
#

also like

stone rune
#

that decides whether or not you get to have a good pace

latent moon
#

it's modded for a reason

#

and on a separate leaderboard

rustic vale
latent moon
#

if you have a problem with the speedrunning modpack then just dont play modded

#

but still respect the achievements made

#

because not everyone is willing to grind it for that long and hard

#

In conclusion,

#

Ares call sucks

karmic mason
#

NUH UH

opaque fable
#

it's mega bad

stone rune
#

lemme just pull out my ares call for a total of like 120 damage

opaque fable
#

actual negative synergy

latent moon
#

ares call is only used for invincibility, not damage lmao

stone rune
#

i once used ares call in a tis fight and literally died because of it

#

the iframes ended at a bad time

drowsy linden
#

eh ares call is good if youre not using the big damage builds

stiff obsidian
#

Same

karmic mason
#

Ares greater call, sit in Hades's hitbox, chill for a few seconds
Simple as

stone rune
#

ares call kills (you)

rustic vale
drowsy linden
opaque fable
stone rune
#

when you could have dealt like 4000 already

karmic mason
rustic vale
#

And so like

stone rune
#

someone retrieve the 1000 damage zeus call crit

karmic mason
rustic vale
#

Zeus and dionysus minicalls should be at the top of your list

stiff obsidian
#

Even dem. Call should be doing as much DMG as ares while also applying chill

opaque fable
#

we love free damage buttons

drowsy linden
karmic mason
opaque fable
karmic mason
#

You spend the fight building call and then obliterate him

rustic vale
#

aphrodites greater call is use 4* the call meter for 1/2 the damage

I know y’all have been in this server for a while and played the game for hundreds of hours but if a new member comes around and doesn’t play exclusively how you do, please be nice about it

karmic mason
opaque fable
#

i'll be real idk if i like aphro greater call

#

much rather mash lesser for cc

void vigil
#

I like it I get funny voicelines for it

karmic mason
#

I love listening to what Hades says when I greater call

#

"Aphrodite!"

Piss off, boy

drowsy linden
#

aphrodite greater call is fine(at least its free damage and easy to use), but minicall is simply beyond what i can handle

karmic mason
#

In fairness I just don't minicall half the time

rustic vale
#

If I have aphro aid I’m using minicall

#

It’s saving me a hit

latent moon

I forget the god guage is there until boss fights happen

there's only been 1 recent development really, and that was 60 heat guan yu on a spin build

Whens the next Hades patch that makes flursed optimal sword gaming shadegrief

man i like using ares call, why do i always play the opposite bouldy

karmic mason
latent moon
karmic mason

Like actually how the hell

drowsy linden
karmic mason
#

wait what

rustic vale
stiff obsidian
#

i must make it meta

karmic mason
#

oh you mean either or not combo call lmao

covert hare
opaque fable
#

you put poms into that or what

rustic vale
#

they both do great damage

latent moon
latent moon
#

those calls will generally pretty easily kill any ely enemy, including the chariots

opaque fable
#

wow that's crazy

drowsy linden
latent moon
#

every other call doesn't really have much damage except like poseidon call with rip current

covert hare
#

athena call deals damage? i thought it just made you invincible

latent moon
#

technically it does

karmic mason
#

Imma level
I don't know what damage is anyway

latent moon
#

since like

#

you can still attack while invinciblie

karmic mason
#

I have no barometer for damage

latent moon
#

that's fair tbh

opaque fable
#

athena does do damage by letting you ooga booga on offense

rustic vale
karmic mason
#

Because enemies don't have damage numbers over their heads

latent moon
#

did you turn it off

drowsy linden
latent moon
#

i'm pretty sure that's a setting you can toggle

opaque fable
#

just remember bigbrain

karmic mason
rustic vale
#

Have you turned off the damage numbers in the settings?

opaque fable
#

bro has been playing hard mode this whole time

karmic mason
#

no no no nonononoon

latent moon
#

im like

#

fairly certain?

rustic vale
#

On certain builds I kind of need to turn off damage numbers because my switch won’t handle it

latent moon
#

i might be confusing it with a different game

karmic mason
#

not the number of damage you do I mean health bar number

latent moon
#

but like

ashen rapids
#

Guess hes talking about enemy health bar

latent moon
#

oh health bar number

karmic mason
#

Like 34/100

ashen rapids
#

not the damage bar

latent moon
#

yeah that's not a thing

rustic vale
karmic mason
#

I have no idea how much health things have so shrug

rustic vale
#

Doesn’t really matter because you can see how much damage you yourseld do

opaque fable
#

just remember BigBrainPlay

latent moon
#

there's a document somewhere but also that kinda doesnt really matter too much lmao

karmic mason
#

"this call does 50 damage"
Okay cool bud means nothing to me lmao

rustic vale
#

and you can also see zeus and dio call rip through enemy hp

latent moon
#

a lot of it is kinda vibes based tbf

#

yeah mainly that

karmic mason
#

I just have no barometer for what is or isn't high damage lol

#

I know Aphrodite is a lot of damage

opaque fable
#

i think it's mostly experience

rustic vale
latent moon
drowsy linden

karmic mason

#

actually not much button pressing
you should see my sword and achilles runs where i dont get the right duos

ashen rapids
rustic vale
drowsy linden
#

splitters have like 200-250

rustic vale
#

And also get mechanical skill from watching what they do

karmic mason
#

splitters can die I hate them so much

#

splitters and the Asphodel witches

drowsy linden
#

just have deflect
they die to their own balls

latent moon
#

for you at this point in the game, the biggest thing you should pick up from speedrunners is how to build properly

opaque fable
#

good builds carry bad players (like me)

karmic mason
#

tbh I don't care
What I want right now is to learn to play lyre

latent moon
#

the mechanical stuff is less important unless it's like dash striking on bow and cast management on castpects

karmic mason
#

Like I really wanna play the lyre

#

I wanna duet with Orpheus

drowsy linden
latent moon
#

hit the button 210 times then you'll learn it

ashen rapids
karmic mason
#

TWO HUNDRED AND TEN

latent moon
#

210 is a legit number btw

drowsy linden
rustic vale
karmic mason
#

it's so slow once Zag starts playing real chords tho hahhhhhhhhhh

ashen rapids
drowsy linden
#

it is 210

karmic mason
latent moon
#

it's straight up 210

rustic vale
ashen rapids
#

just touched it every time i went to a run

karmic mason
karmic mason
drowsy linden
#

i just string it a couple times a run
if you really want to grind it, i think exiting the room resets cooldown, but your game has to load at lightning speed for it to be worth it

ashen rapids
rustic vale
#

I was doing 1 play per run till I found that way too slow

opaque fable
#

wow my crystal clarity run this morning had a 40 second dad

#

i'm kind of impressed

karmic mason
#

I'm gonna be Orpheus's new muse
Just you watch mfs

latent moon
#

what kind of cast damage do you have there lmfao

drowsy linden
#

probably just godly chaos rng

latent moon
#

yeah no kidding

opaque fable
#

5 casts stygian with clarity and mirage

ashen rapids
latent moon
#

5 casts explains a lot lmao

opaque fable
#

hermes leg too

latent moon
#

oh god yeah

ashen rapids
#

maybe like banana said its 210

latent moon
#

that's uh

opaque fable
#

how do you upload videos

latent moon
#

90 minimum additive or something

drowsy linden
opaque fable
#

you get to watch me play like an absolute ape but it doesn't matter

drowsy linden
#

or links

karmic mason
#

I love the chaos boon that gives +gems and darkness
I got 497 darkness at once with that

latent moon
#

was it achilles?

karmic mason
#

I think from the lernie fight?

opaque fable
latent moon
#

send to a different server/dm or whatever and copy the link

karmic mason
opaque fable
#

okie

drowsy linden
latent moon
#

not message link, the other link

#

or youtube

drowsy linden
stiff obsidian
#

media link

latent moon
#

i dont think i have a good dad kill recorded maybe i should farm one

karmic mason
#

everyone in here like "chaos damage rng" bro I use chaos for gems and darkness
I am playing a different game

opaque fable
#

fun fact

#

5 casts

latent moon
#

oh nvm i have a 28.99 dad kill

opaque fable
#

0 chaos casts

karmic mason
#

Hermes type beat

drowsy linden
#

oh prometheus

opaque fable
#

i just hit arte leg and 2 stones

latent moon
ashen rapids
drowsy linden
#

any braids?

latent moon
#

but also extra cast and/or cast damage kinda good

drowsy linden
stiff obsidian
#

i use chaos for extension into c14 hermes to sell for UC i am playing another gametoo

ashen rapids
#

oh no

opaque fable
#

ok that doesn't work

drowsy linden
#

rip

opaque fable
#

i'll just upload to yt rq

karmic mason
#

Okay now I know I'm playing a different game because I need all three death defiances to kill John Hades

karmic mason
#

nah not all three that's not correct
I need at least two

latent moon
#

4 ichors and rd

#

and braid

karmic mason
#

One is a 50/50 on if I can win

karmic mason
drowsy linden
#

then youll need 0 hp to kill dad

gray apex
#

Gud build

stiff obsidian
karmic mason
#

Hades is just spoiled kid simulator

latent moon
#

yeah pretty much

latent moon
#

video link if you want

#

not the most impressive one out there but it's still good lmao

gray apex
#

Shameless plug

ashen rapids
latent moon
#

tbf i forgot i even had a good dad kill

gray apex
#

Real gamers farm em4 kills

latent moon
#

oh maybe i should do that

#

that sounds fun

#

dio beo time

gray apex
#

Get sub1

opaque fable
#

wait am i stupid

#

ok no it was a 1 min dad

#

i just can't read my video player

latent moon
#

but i shall try at some point tonight

#

once i get a good build i might just save state the dad fight and cheese it from there

gray apex
#

If it’s any heat it’s not that bad

latent moon
#

i mean yeah

#

but the bigger isssue is like

#

getting the build

#

and i'm not good at dad fight

karmic mason
#

I'm gonna go back and beat the tar out of ||Charon|| because I hate him rn

latent moon
#

my dad fights without em4 is like consistently ~40 sec

gray apex
#

On beo?

stone rune
#

i feel like its more like 33-35 if the build is kinda bad

latent moon
#

my average out of 27 runs is 43 sec

rustic vale
#

Not me being unable to send my vids to my phone from my switch rn

#

For no reason

#

ā€œUnable to connect to networkā€ bouldy bouldy

#

My data is disabled and there is literally no more ways to trouble shoot it past that

latent moon
#

oh there's a lot of stinkers in that 27 streak

gray apex
#

For a streak makes sense ig

latent moon
#

discounting the stinkers tho seems like 35-40

#

so im not completely wrong lmao

gray apex
#

If you don’t get a build it’s pain

#

What is heroes average

opaque fable
#

i think the funnier part of the run i had was the 12 second vermin

rustic vale
#

it would be so funny if the Hades team left Apollo out for Hades 2 just for everyone who asked why he wasn’t in the first

opaque fable
#

entire hp bad went down

latent moon
#

the sheet doesnt track heroes kills

#

but i'd say on average maybe 10 secs max? maybe a few stinkers but discounting those max 10 sounds about right

gray apex
#

10s is quite good

latent moon
#

that's assuming with build

#

i just know my dad fights aren't that great in general

gray apex
#

Understandable

latent moon
#

a lot of the time it's not enough juice for 2 volleys and i need 3 tbf

#

other times it's kinda like bad positioning and bad timings

#

sometimes darkness but i doubt that's the overlying problem

gray apex
#

On the streak or just in general?

latent moon
#

i think in general

gray apex
#

3 volleys is pain territory

latent moon
#

tbf i haven't played beo in a long time but i know i'm def not that clean

gray apex
latent moon
#

and i dont really like hard reset for good damage or whatever

opaque fable
latent moon
#

generally speaking if i get mirage before lernie i just play out the rest of the run

#

even if like ely sucks lmao

#

because ely and dad practice is something

gray apex
#

Yea fair it’s good practice

rustic vale
#

I’m just trying to send myself the clip of me 20s Alecto

gray apex
#

Styx practice also important

latent moon
#

and i dont have the mental fortitude to play more than 2 or 3 runs in a sitting and i just want to play the game lmao

rustic vale
#

When I started the fight at 4.39.97 or smthing and ended the fight at 4:59:57

gray apex
#

You have to go into your tryhard era

latent moon
#

i already have 1 sub6 that's good enough for me lmao

#

if anything i want unmodded 50 heat

stone rune
#

heroes can go either way

gray apex
#

19 more

rustic vale
latent moon
#

god no

stone rune
#

i have some 4 second heroes and i also have like an 18 second heroes

latent moon
rustic vale
#

Also you should have at least 24 sub6’s

stone rune
rustic vale
#

1 for each aspect

#

Sub6 w/ chaos or chiron

stone rune
#

the chiron sub6 seed was a low 4 on beo

gray apex
jagged hamlet
#

Delicious Ares call!

#

Sorry I'm very late

latent moon
#

I don't wanna do ri lmao

#

Or ap2

gray apex
#

So what I’m understanding is

#

It’s beo

rustic vale
#

How long do the bubbles take to drop?

latent moon
#

when i was doing attempts a while ago, i made it to styx then died in the 4th tunnel

#

so that was fun

marsh merlin
#

you should give me a build to try and a set of stuff from the pact for my 7 heat run (demeter fists)

stone rune
#

merciful end

#

em1 fo2

ashen rapids
#

does this works like hera bow

#

with ur cast?

#

never used beowulf thats why im curious

drowsy linden
#

beo is very different from hera while being very similar

ashen rapids
#

nah the cast part

#

like u charge cast and use with attack

marsh merlin
drowsy linden
#

the main difference is the casts
hera is just basic casts, beo is a "flare", which is like trippy shot but without delay

#

and then beo has a LOT more bugs

ashen rapids
#

Ohhh

#

sorry hera bow im going beo now

#

lol

stone rune
drowsy linden
#

also beo doesnt lodge

stone rune
#

u load casts and they pop out with bull rush

#

in ape

#

aoe

latent moon
#

Beo is if Hera had more aoe and bugs

ashen rapids
#

Thank u guys

#

didn't know it

upper wolf
#

beo be kinda ape tbh. You just go unga bunga on the enemies and they explode

latent moon
#

If you get charged shot then it's just better hera

ashen rapids
#

Ohhh

drowsy linden
#

not if youre using aim assist

#

(like me)

ashen rapids
#

aim assist?

drowsy linden
#

settings option that makes zag attack an enemy if its close to where he's facing

covert hare
#

bruh im so mad, i already lost the progress of two runs because my pc keeps shutting off at 30% battery

winter plaza
#

might be an internal issue

covert hare
drowsy linden
#

its mainly if you dont want to use mouse and ONLY keyboard
it works until youre on shield or gy

stone rune
#

i was looking for dads to post in response to the thing above but i cant find anything

winter plaza
stone rune
#

i guess a 24 will do maybe

covert hare
latent moon
stone rune
#

i thought i had a 23

latent moon
#

Anything below 25 would do for peak beo

#

Oh fair enough

ashen rapids
ashen rapids
#

it is not good for ur laptop

#

if it is a laptop?

stone rune
#

apparently my best one is 24.65

#

i suck

covert hare
#

i thought you mean using it while charging

ashen rapids
stone rune
#

no i have a 23.41

#

i cant find it

ashen rapids
#

without charging ur pc doesn't get the fps it needs to run a game smoothly

#

do u have fan control?

covert hare
covert hare
ashen rapids
#

the battery

winter plaza
#

overheating can turn off your laptop

ashen rapids
#

overheating

#

without charging u play game that makes ur pc overheat

winter plaza
#

that's usually the main cause

ashen rapids
#

Yeah agreed

drowsy linden
#

having a bad pc

#

(like my old one)

ashen rapids
#

i love my laptop ngl

covert hare
winter plaza
#

needa smack some new thermal paste on that or something

#

might wanna get the fan checked out

#

cuz

#

it's probably the issue

ashen rapids
#

Could be dust and thermal paste problem like claire said

covert hare
#

how weird because its not hot whenever i check

winter plaza
#

if it's been owned for years, ye

winter plaza
#

if it isn't hot at all and is still turning off, the heat is getting trapped inside

#

meaning it's basically burning your components

#

meaning it's killing your battery

#

my guess is dust and thermal paste needs replacing

ashen rapids
#

if u re not doing something heavy u can use laptop without charging but like being on rendering programs or gaming u have to use the laptop with charging

covert hare
#

man its not even my pc what im gonna do shadefear

winter plaza
#

im not an expert on laptops so whatever sara is saying is probably true

ashen rapids
#

Im not a expert too but had a few laptops

winter plaza
#

i usually work on pcs so

#

common issue is heat sinks when it comes to stuff like that

ashen rapids
#

im just an architect

#

i use rendering programs

#

mostly games

covert hare
ashen rapids
#

Someone aside u uses the pc?

covert hare
ashen rapids
#

Does that happens when he uses the laptop

covert hare
#

no because he doesnt play games at all

ashen rapids
#

so it happens only when u play games

#

def a heating or fan problem

#

and playing without charging

winter plaza
#

probably overheating the cpu

#

guess it isn't used to running higher end things

ashen rapids
#

hades isn't that heavy game tho

winter plaza
#

they said it was old so

ashen rapids
#

he plays without plug on

winter plaza
#

gotta charge it ig

#

power surge that mf

covert hare
winter plaza
#

get zeus boon and power it up

ashen rapids
#

If the problem keeps happening while u charging and playing with the laptop

#

could be thermal paste and dust

covert hare
ashen rapids
#

nope

#

while gaming and using rendering programs u have to use it with charging on

#

to use it at best performance

ashen rapids
#

u want a lagging game?

covert hare
#

its just the turning off problem

ashen rapids
#

thermal paste and dust problem then

#

one time check it while its on 30% battery

#

if it still turns off while charging at that battery level

#

than thats the problem,if not
