in comparison to max heat 32 heat is free

yeah heat is supposed to be a mix-and-match system where you find the combo that works and avoid the ones that don't, 64 heat only exists to give more options for 32 heat
latent moon
yeah lol
ashen rapids
u can achieve it with practise and some builds makes it easier?
proper tusk
how many ppl have done max heat
latent moon
heat difficulty is not linear
proper tusk
like 5?
ashen rapids
how many ppl have done max heat
2
keen mortar
only angel and bai quoting bananas
latent moon
angel, bai, baj, mysterra, playad
ashen rapids
oh it is 5 already?
latent moon
angel and bai were unmodded unseeded
ashen rapids
damn
proper tusk
oh is it actually 5
latent moon
baj is unmodded seeded
latent moon
mysterra and playad used speedrun modpack
latent moon
2 month ago there were only 2 people beated it
baj did it like 2 years ago unmodded seeded
keen mortar
i find it funny how it's called unmodded and not something like "rng determinate" as if they were using some kind of actual game mod to make it easier
latent moon
mysterra did it like a year ago or something? before the unmodded clears
playad's guan yu was fairly recent
ashen rapids
baj did it like 2 years ago unmodded seeded
😯
opal hemlock
do you just have to get lucky
latent moon
yeah
proper tusk
what aspects were the rest of them
opal hemlock
:/
proper tusk
was it just all zeus
latent moon
playad used guan yu
everything else was zeus
oh wait i forgot poshboy
so 6
also zeus shield, but used aphro special
latent moon
do you just have to get lucky
it's kinda why the unmodded seeded wasn't like popular afaik
the whole run was routed, so the rewards were already mapped out so it kinda removed the rng needed to clear
it was just skill at that point
opal hemlock
i like that
are seeded runs w/o mods? or do you actually have to download a mod to do that
and they just call it "unmodded" bc its just that one mod
latent moon
you figure out the seed with mods, and then do the run without mods
brisk trail
............
Good evening everyone, in your opinion what is the best roguelike on mobile?
latent moon
the "modded" clears use the speedrun modpack, which just smooths out some rng so you have more viable runs
opal hemlock
oh lol thats a little cool
keen mortar
Good evening everyone, in your opinion what is the best roguelike on mobile?
interesting time to ask that question lmao
opal hemlock
i want to look this up, but i feel like if i spend much more time looking up hades stuff on youtube, ill get spoiled some more
latent moon
lmao if you just got your first clear, you should prob wait on it for a bit
keen mortar
unless you are going to look at fresh save speedruns lol
opal hemlock
its my 5th clear, but they're all in a row, soooo just like slightly afterwards
opal hemlock
unless you are going to look at fresh save speedruns lol
lmfao yes this is literally all ive looked up
IGN video or something about a speedrunner
latent moon
you can probably look up high heat runs once you hit the credits, which is soon enough
opal hemlock
you can probably look up high heat runs once you hit the credits, which is soon ...
good to know im really close :)
its killing me that i cant look up too much
keen mortar
its my 5th clear, but they're all in a row, soooo just like slightly afterwards
5th clear in a row wow something really clicked for you
opal hemlock
5th clear in a row wow something really clicked for you
i lost to hades like 3 times and started playing a lot more safe and it eventually worked!
i really think its the upgrades though, but maybe i did better too
i cant help but undermine how well i do because im not confident with how strong the boons+upgrades are
like the hammers literally seem so strong and i cant help but think they're the reason ive won a few runs
latent moon
i mean you generally get 2 hammers per run guaranteed lmao
opal hemlock
but some of them seem so bad lol
opal hemlock
i did a run with sword with flurry and cursed and just healed and held M1 and won
opal hemlock
at least half the hammers in the game kinda suck
thats lowkey a bummer to hear, but at least they seem fun
i think ive almost gotten the prophecies done for most weapons, but there are a few talents that im borderline refusing to touch
like that one arrow hammer that increases damage from far away
there is zero chance i actually get use out of it
im not that good at spacing lol
or the bow itself for that matter
latent moon
sniper shot kinda ass
latent moon
or the bow itself for that matter
dash strike with it, it charges faster
opal hemlock
my flow definitely is choppy

MEG FINALLY SHOWED UP
stone rune
sullen kettle
how is aspect of hera
stone rune
very good
sullen kettle
bow is currently my favorite weapon rn, maining aspect of zag and sometimes chiron
looking to try smth new but I don't like casts
so I wonder how hera would be for me
stone ermine
is coronacht typically the favoured weapon by most ppl
sullen kettle
is coronacht typically the favoured weapon by most ppl
idk
stone rune
no
sullen kettle
I used to despise it though
stone rune
i believe the most common weapons are like fists and spear
which makes sense because people are wrong
stone ermine
wrong about ?
stone rune
which weapons are good
stone ermine
is coronacht top tier then
stone ermine
i looked at its aspect levelling n it looks like one of the best ones for newbies
stone rune
fists spear sword are worse
wicked sage
shield bow and rail are better
this is for people who like chunky slow weapons
wicked sage
fists spear sword are worse
and these are for high dps players
stone rune
what
wicked sage
no weapon is worse, it depends on your play style
sullen kettle
rail and bow have high dps
stone rune
well fists spear and sword have lower dps
stone ermine
bow's priority is hera right
sullen kettle
hera is my favorite goddess so I will get her aspect
maybe I will discover something new
maybe I will start to like casts
wicked sage
and even for attack builds, people use casts to get more damage out of the attack
nova loom
is coronacht typically the favoured weapon by most ppl
I think most past polls on reddit have bow/fist at the top
wicked sage
I think most past polls on reddit have bow/fist at the top
why fists at the top
stone rune
reddit is a bad source though
stone rune
the issue with fists is that fists suck
nova loom
Its fine to just go with what you like playing
wicked sage
the issue with fists is that fists suck
depends on your playstyle but ok
stone rune
how
nova loom
I dont think you need to take it so seriously unless going for wr or high heats
Just have your fun with it
stone rune
no playstyle will give fists higher dps or more safety or more consistency than any other weapon
proper tusk
no weapon is worse, it depends on your play style
this is def not true
i mean
it is true
but its not true
wicked sage
confusion
nova loom
no playstyle will give fists higher dps or more safety or more consistency than ...
Dodge 5head
proper tusk
if youre more comfortable with spear youll do better with spear but it is definitely worse than other weapons
sullen kettle
spear is boon needy imo
stone rune
i mean all of this also strongly depends on aspect
bow and shield are good but chiron and chaos are complete garbage
sullen kettle
chiron isn't garbage
it's good but also daedalus needs to bless you
so it isn't really consistently good
timid quiver
chiron really is horrible imo because if you can get your attack up high enough then what’s the point of the special seeking the last foe you last attacked. its no good in tartarus through asphodel and unless if daedelus loves you or you somehow get great boons it’s complete garbage
proper tusk
i dont really understand why i see so many ppl say chiron is good for new players
stone rune
the issue with chiron is the insane delay on everything
proper tusk
its so bad at low level
timid quiver
for new players I mean it may help but after a while it does you absolutely no good
wicked sage
i dont really understand why i see so many ppl say chiron is good for new player...
nah thats the fists
stone rune
fists are also not good for new players
timid quiver
they’re definitely an acquired weapon
wicked sage
what is a good weapon for new players then, in your opinion
stone rune
any rail
proper tusk
ive never had a fists build that does a lot of damage without merciful end or max demeter
stone rune
very easy to pick up with simple builds
timid quiver
most zag aspects aren’t really the best tbh
sullen kettle
is flurry shot good with hera
timid quiver
in my personal opinion — i just prefer focusing on other aspects
stone rune
is flurry shot good with hera
best in slot hammer
i guess the in slot part doesnt apply
sullen kettle
wicked sage
is flurry shot good with hera
hell yeah it is
brisk trail
less than 10 fingers in the world
stone rune
take flurry

FLURRY SHOT
most of the time take a flurry shot when you see it
works on the aspects its available on (and i tested it on rama via codex mod, and it seemed pretty decent there too)
stone ermine
which gods r better for the bow
proper tusk
which gods r better for the bow
dionysus special for chiron, aphrodite cast for hera, aphrodite/artemis attack for rama
no idea whats good for zag bow
i did artemis with twin shot and hunters mark and hunter dash once
that was good and fun
sullen kettle
I am just a bit clunky with it
almost ran out of time on theseus with nera
hera
7 seconds to spare
rustic vale
zagbow is pretty good
Zag shield solid
not the star of the shields by a long shot but it’s solid
stone ermine
what mirrors do i prioritise on the bow
rustic vale
most zag aspects aren’t really the best tbh
They’re never the best aspect of a weapon but they’re also usually pretty good
rustic vale
what mirrors do i prioritise on the bow
Mirror’s the same as any other weapon
sullen kettle
something about hera, it clears the satyr caves so fast
rustic vale
The only time mirror ever changes is if you’r erunning trippy shot on beowulf/hera
sullen kettle
I hate the satyr caves

Or once you cross to 32+ heat you switch to stubborn defiance
Otherwise your choices are pretty much always the same
rustic vale
Or once you cross to 32+ heat you switch to stubborn defiance
Or if speedrunning you swap to high confidence
stone ermine
Otherwise your choices are pretty much always the same
which r ?
latent moon
fiery presence
chthonic vitality
death defiance
greater reflex
boiling blood
infernal soul (stygian is fine too tbh)
deep pockets
thick skin
family favorites
dark foresight
gods' pride
fated authority
that should be your ideal mirror
sullen kettle
ok soo I just cleared with hera
rustic vale
Fiery presence, cthonic regen, death defiance (unless 32 heat+), greater reflex, boiling blood, stygian infernal soul, deep pockets, god’s favour? family favourites , dark foresighg, gods pride, fated authority
rustic vale
oh I got gods favour mixed up with family favourites
whoops
And stygians mixed with infernal
sullen kettle
maybe it's because I used trippy shot instead of aphrodite's cast
latent moon
use aphro cast and dont try and charge the shot up all the way
you can for carther enemies ofc but you generally just wanna min charge it at a close range
it's why flurry is a good hammer for bow
rustic vale
Which is why flurry is a good hammer for hera*
wicked sage
Which is why flurry is a good hammer for hera*
its good for the aspects its available on
rustic vale
Zag bow exists 
flurry is still a good hammer there but it’s not the best hammer like on hera
wicked sage
flurry shot's worst aspect is probably chiron and even then it doesnt do too bad
rustic vale
Eh
I’d probably take flurry more times on chiron if I was focusing on special with it
mainly because just applying that focus
But idk
I like my dash strikes to have the rythm
and flurry takes it away
sullen kettle
use aphro cast and dont try and charge the shot up all the way
i'll try again this time with aphrodite

maiden narwhal
i thought i'd make this one last 10 years but wow i've probably halved its life in the first 3 months
maybe i'll just drop it down a flight of stairs and ask for a new one
they have coverage for that
sullen kettle
guys am I using the wrong mirror buff with hera
maiden narwhal
damn the bug still seems to be there
sullen kettle
I am using crush shot now
rustic vale
I am using infernal rn and I feel as if it's not correct
It’s infernal unless your casts last longer than the recharge of stygian
and so… most casts take infernal
it’s really just trippy shot & maybe sometimes demeter where you would take stygian
sullen kettle
ok so I found that
when I use hera I take really long
I almost run out of time with 7 minute pact
rustic vale
huh
proper tusk
thats not supposed to happen
proper tusk
thats fair
rustic vale
and it's a nightmare if you have bad keybinds (controller experience here)
but at the same time you also need to be able to manage your casts and build it properly
rustic vale
yeah, for both beowulf and hera I would remap cast immediately
sooner into your hades experience the better
proper tusk
right trigger cast my beloved
rustic vale
x cast > y cast
x cast sucks still but like
400 hrs of muscle memory are hard to break so
moving it elsewhere would throw me off
proper tusk
im gonna be honest i dont actually know where buttons are
i play on steam deck and i use nintendo button layout
its a struggle
rustic vale
is steam deck letters different to switch?
proper tusk
yeah a/b and x/y are swapped
but i spend so much time playing totk i couldnt get my brain to switch so i just changed the buttons

Huh

whatever

lmfao sorry
rustic vale
that
proper tusk
i remapped the buttons
rustic vale
Doesn’t make sense to me tbh
rustic vale
Yeah that makes sense
proper tusk
which is B on steam deck
maiden narwhal
OH NO THE KEYBOARD FREEZE BUG IS STILL THERE
i can't even alt tab
i reinstalled the game what more do i need to do
sullen kettle
and it's a nightmare if you have bad keybinds (controller experience here)
do most people play with controller?
rustic vale
do most people play with controller?
Eh it’s more like
Keybinds are
To my understanding
A bit better by default on keyboard for hera
since if you want to attack, cast and dash on hera on controller
That’s normally all controlled by your thimb
3 main actions all done with thumb
sullen kettle
i feel like best keybind would be right trigger for cast and left for attack
I don't play controller tho
rustic vale
I mean
I’ve got on the right side 4 buttons
The left is attack and the bottom is dash
The right of those by default is cast
Afaik the usual swap is moving cast to a trigger somewhere
My issue is with 400 hrs of muscle memory, moving it anywhere is
painful
Agony
maiden narwhal
i feel like best keybind would be right trigger for cast and left for attack
i tried this with hestia
didn't work
tried with guan yu skewer but still no
idk why it's so hard to switch attack to right click, but the brain does not want
maiden narwhal
masterrace
tbf anyone who can play fps properly with controller is crazy skilled
how do you strafe jump aim shoot all at the same time?
rustic vale
how do you strafe jump aim shoot all at the same time?
I mean
They usually give you aim assist for controller games
maiden narwhal
oh
rustic vale
yeah
maiden narwhal
people used to get insta kicked/banned for aimbot
rustic vale
an fps on controller
maiden narwhal
i guess they were using it on pc tho
maiden narwhal
like hades?
rustic vale
Like
rustic vale
It isn’t locking in
It’s like
Oh you’re pretty close
Herem: the rest of it
Afaik
It depends
I know games like fortnite have a slider for how strong you want it and it’s genuinely unplayable at high levels
I keep trying to aim myself but then I end up overcorrecting
But I also haven’t played fps on my switch since I got my laptop so
It’s been a few years
sullen kettle
fortnite mentioned!
maiden narwhal
idk why people even TRY to play fps on consoles
like... people loved that golden eye game back in the day and i fkn hated it
sullen kettle
btw fortnite is the reason I am here rn
bought hades because of the new fortnite season
sullen kettle
maiden narwhal
when i play fps i always have two direction buttons held down
i am never not sprinting, and never not jumping, ever
crouch only exists for pressing mid jump when going through windows
it would be completely impossible to play this way with controller, even with aim assist
sullen kettle
Got me back into greek mythology (Used to be a massive fan) and I looked for other greek mythology related games
rustic vale
when i play fps i always have two direction buttons held down
i am never not spr...
that’s… honestly
a
Like
idk
sullen kettle
and hades was the #1 pick everyone said
rustic vale
I play way more aggressively on controller and I turn my aim assist down far
like 0-10% of what I’m given for options
maiden narwhal
that’s… honestly
i went 1v5 and won
the chatbox blew up
someone said "dancer"
changed my screenname to that
maiden narwhal
oh you thought i said i never jump?
maiden narwhal
fkn lol
maiden narwhal
Yeah no that’s kind of how I play unless I have a bow or sniper
yeah that's like.. the only way to play
rustic vale
“Never not” my eyes just glazed over the not part
maiden narwhal
which is why i can't imagine it with controller
maiden narwhal
feels weird to not
same as if i'm not dashing in hades
rustic vale
Eh jumping in fps games is like
Unless I need to do it to get somewhere
Why am@I doing it
maiden narwhal
so idk if you've ever played deathmatch
but the first thing you learn there is if you stop moving, you're dead
my mouse is always going 360
i never stop looking everywhere
rustic vale
Yeah but jumping just means theres more you to get hit tbh
rustic vale
As far as I’m concerned
maiden narwhal
Yeah but jumping just means theres more you to get hit tbh
no moving target better than crouching one
we used to instacrouch when we saw a badguy
stone rune
so idk if you've ever played deathmatch
but the first thing you learn there is ...
not really true

i guess it's where you're jumping to?
maiden narwhal
not really true
camper played that one map in quake where you could sit on the island with the rail and snipe everybody

what is wisc v?

one of the new iq test
maiden narwhal
when i was like 11 i took wisc v and got like 160 or something and now i feel li...
lol literally same
this is because iq only measures potential
at best
you gotta work harder to not get dumber
maiden narwhal
i wish i'd failed everything in highschool, but RETAINED it all
stone rune
because this school is hard
rustic vale
i skipped 2 grades
still couldn't skip enough rooms for sub2
stone rune
true
maiden narwhal
i did upper level math for my gcse board exams
i used to be able to do iteration
stone rune
im in calc 3 rn
maiden narwhal
now i am the most innumerate person i know
maiden narwhal
if you see my scrabble score sheets they're covered with me doing simple arithmetic
when i count my score i have to do it aloud
annoys the hell out of people
rustic vale
as someone who like
is pretty good at the complex math stuff for my age
basic math is what trips me up
stone rune
i skipped 3 and 5
maiden narwhal
they wanted to skip my brother two but my parents wouldn't let them
maiden narwhal
nice
stone rune
although the school i was in for that portion of my educational career was horrendous
i learned absolutely nothing
as i was leaving i was using like
blocks to cube numbers
maiden narwhal
i wish i'd done 4 and 5 at the same time
stone rune
or something stupid
maiden narwhal
but i guess the double promotion exam knew what it was doing
stone rune
thats why im happy to have gone back grades
ill be able to actually get a lot of math done during high school
stone rune
ill have finished up calc and real analysis and lin alg and stuff
im doing it im doing it
stone rune
no
well i kind of did this morning
because my alarm didnt work
lol
went to sleep too late and it didnt wake me up
but it was my worst class so we chill
stone rune

steep condor
are you doing your assignment while chatting on discord
stone rune
yes
steep condor
ok then
stone rune
ok i finished
steep condor
reload
maiden narwhal
zag die
all time
it gave me my forced boon in an erebus
and dio for the first door
this is cheating
the game is cheating
hammer seed, and dio first door when i have zeus charm on
how
rustic vale
it gave me my forced boon in an erebus
and dio for the first door
So
You take erebus
C2 erebus is like 3 enemies total
maiden narwhal
it had a big skull on it
do not wan
and also i don't get my boon if i don't pass?
ridiculous
rustic vale
it had a big skull on it
That’s the indicator for this reward is better than usual/miniboss room
maiden narwhal
yes doesn't that also mean the room is more difficult
to clear
will have a heroic in it
rustic vale
Skull means miniboss, means better reward
maiden narwhal
Can only get heroics from exchange, rsre crop, eury
heroic bad guys
the ones that're red
maiden narwhal
i don't think you know what i mean
rustic vale
especially the chamber 2 one
rustic vale
The chamber 2 one is in my experience always a 3 enemy rolm that can be cleared without concern
oh no it isn’t it’s the end of the world
maiden narwhal
well
rustic vale
rustic vale
just take the erebus
maiden narwhal
no
maiden narwhal
it's rubbish
maiden narwhal
and one of them is enormous
latent moon
didn't read chat but im guessing you got erebussed
maiden narwhal
no i didn't get erebused my first boon was hidden behind an erebus
and the door was dio
rustic vale
Just use your special for damage
latent moon
yeah that's erebused
maiden narwhal
ah
rustic vale
you got erebused
maiden narwhal
then yes
rustic vale
anyways
latent moon
i mean if it's c2 just take erebus, and if you get hit just reset the run
rustic vale
It’s not a huge deal unless you’re playing at <4 heat
maiden narwhal
yeah i guess it's just never happened
rustic vale
or are speedrunning
maiden narwhal
kinda threw me
i can't get past c7 btw
for love or money
so
i beat sneak flawless and died to a mob of skulls
latent moon
on hestia?
maiden narwhal
eris
rustic vale
Did you not take the erebus
rustic vale
latent moon
oh lmao yeah
rustic vale
Just take the erebus anyways
maiden narwhal
Did you not take the erebus
no i bloody well didn't!
latent moon
54 do be like that
maiden narwhal
i don't think casuals can play past 50
latent moon
casuals generally dont go past 40
rustic vale
it’s 54 but like you’re dying without zeus strike so
maiden narwhal
ok then enthusiasts can't go past 50
maiden narwhal
it’s 54 but like you’re dying without zeus strike so
i died with zeus and delta
latent moon
just do 51 lol
i've done 51 twice, and one of them was recorded
but like
50 is hard lol
expect to die a lot
shouldn't be particularly surprising
stone rune
up to 54 is p easy
opal hemlock
is there a way to farm fish? or do i just bring the poesidon trinket and that legendary mirror upgrade
steep condor
can be done with minimal practice
if you're you
latent moon
yeah that's more or less it
theres also the well item that forces a fish in the next available room
so check wells
opal hemlock
i love that one, i wish it wasnt so expensive lol
im also trying to get titan blood from charon so it always worries me
def something i think about, thank you :)
latent moon
focus on clearing more than buying the titan blood
the 1.2k gold can be used in multiple places to improve your build over the run
opal hemlock
i didnt know that you would get rewards so easily by raising the heat until yesterday
rustic vale
Sitting on 1.2k gold is just asking to die without spending it
Compared to using it to improve your shot at killing the big man
& the overall speed of that happening
latent moon
up to 54 is p easy
turns out not everyone is as good at the game as you are so everyone kinda takes longer who would've thunk
opal hemlock
i just raised 1 heat and all four rewards refreshed, but i havent seen if its like that for 2-3-4-5+ heat
stone rune
i mean im not good at heat
opal hemlock
Sitting on 1.2k gold is just asking to die without spending it
i just havent struggled to make it past the two heroes yet
stone rune
but i still was able to decide one day that i wanted to do 54 and then i did it
opal hemlock
but my max heat is at 1 so lol
stone rune
because hestia good
rustic vale
i just havent struggled to make it past the two heroes yet
Yeah but you use obols to control your build and boost it early to ensure the rest of the run goes smoother
latent moon
but i still was able to decide one day that i wanted to do 54 and then i did it
that quite literally proves my point
rustic vale
Use tartarus shops to help guarantee who’s in your build
maiden narwhal
my hestia 32 progression was very straightforward
die at lernie
die at heroes
clear
40 progression is stuck at can't kill dad
rustic vale
Use later shops to boost your run
opal hemlock
Yeah but you use obols to control your build and boost it early to ensure the re...
im still learning how to "manipulate" the room system
latent moon
im assuming ri2?
latent moon
yeah you dont have thick skin so safety is out the door lol
hestia is generally safer
so not too surprising you're dying off the bat lmao
rustic vale
im still learning how to "manipulate" the room system
Once you take a god (aside from chaos & hermes they’re in Your “boon pool”. This caps at 4* with exceptions.
you can’t remove them from your pool from there
steep condor
i was on irl forced overtime the past few weeks and sick with major headaches this week. haven't been able to clear any high heat like that, even died at low heat
so, theoretically, people with different pre conditions would have a harder time at the game
rustic vale
Once yohr pool caps the game stops giving you more gods
(Aside from hermes and chaos)
steep condor
also playing on steam deck makes my small dainty hands hurt after two runs
stone rune
i have the pre condition of sucking at games
rustic vale
So when I say “control your build” it’s predominantly
latent moon
i have the pre condition of sucking at games
why are you like this
stone rune
literally though
latent moon
stone rune
hades is the first game i’ve been good at
4k hours in gd and people with less than 200 can still be better than me
1500 in cs and i’m garbage
latent moon
i mean i literally said you just have natural talent
rustic vale
Ensuring which gods are in your pool
Mr Lollersnakes does that make sense
latent moon
and considering how you keep talking about yourself here
you're probably better at those games than you give yourself credit for
and im frankly getting sick of hearing you keep talking like this about yourself and putting yourself down every minute you can
opal hemlock
Mr Lollersnakes does that make sense
yeah i sort of understand the 4 god choice thing, but i swear ill get 4 and then all of a sudden a 5th random boon is offered to me and it shows me that i need to learn a lot more
rustic vale
yeah i sort of understand the 4 god choice thing, but i swear ill get 4 and then...
I mean if it’s hermes it’s possible
If you picked up the 4th god in a shop
steep condor
you're not only putting yourself down, but everyone else that's worse than you (~95% of players)
rustic vale
It’s possible
latent moon
you're not only putting yourself down, but everyone else that's worse than you (...
more like putting down 99% of players lmao
rustic vale
Cuz chaos & hermes don’t count towards the pool
steep condor
yeah
rustic vale
pool
maiden narwhal
it's the dunning kruger effect; comptent people always think they're not as good as they are. incompetent people think they're better than they are
that's why idiots run things
latent moon
the 1% is just like 5 speedrunners max and various high heat runners
opal hemlock
i might have picked up hermes in a shop earlier that run but i really dont remember atp
latent moon
which frankly is prob less than 1% anyways
rustic vale
it's the dunning kruger effect; comptent people always think they're not as good...
Competent people know they’re not as good as they could be so they think they aren’t good
steep condor
i prob shouldn't have put a percentage
latent moon
yeah but it gets the point across anyways lmao
stone rune
idk i think a lot of people are better than me
maiden narwhal
lmao imagine running away from the mobs
rustic vale
More than 399/400 people are worse than you
maiden narwhal
instead of into them
stone rune
i just play a lot
maiden narwhal
that's what 54 is
latent moon
i just play a lot
yeah and that makes you better than nearly everyone else at this game???
rustic vale
i just play a lot
Yeah work in = results out
latent moon
that doesnt discredit you
opal hemlock
why did i just unlock the aspect of guan yu? is it bc i cleared a run w heat?
latent moon
idk i think a lot of people are better than me
the amount of people you can name that (you think) are better than you is not a lot, you do realize
even if that number was 20 somehow
rustic vale
why did i just unlock the aspect of guan yu? is it bc i cleared a run w heat?
Nah you met some other clear
latent moon
that's not a big number
rustic vale
Jazz name every person better than u at Hades the videogame
opal hemlock
Nah you met some other clear
what does this mean
rustic vale
what does this mean
Thecondition is like blood 5 or 6 non-zag aspects iirc
latent moon
5 non zag aspects
opal hemlock
Thecondition is like blood 5 or 6 non-zag aspects iirc
oh im looking at the wiki. i see...its not as simple as i thought haha
maiden narwhal
can i use flood shot to remove dc without losing fiery?
rustic vale
can i use flood shot to remove dc without losing fiery?
You can also just hit them
maiden narwhal
it's a question of dealing with separate groups
maiden narwhal
i'm just wondering how the splash works with it
stone rune
Jazz name every person better than u at Hades the videogame
ocke nnevic vorime croven bigp 185 alena lap tounis zyru kirrby mike cgull yeezy card caml mystic bablo off the top of my head and probably many more
maiden narwhal
specifically
rustic vale
I can’t see why it wouldn’t work
rustic vale
ocke nnevic vorime croven bigp 185 alena lap tounis zyru kirrby mike cgull yeezy...
“Any probably many more”
latent moon
ocke nnevic vorime croven bigp 185 alena lap tounis zyru kirrby mike cgull yeezy...
that's still not a lot of people you realize right
rustic vale
How is cgull better than u
stone rune
he has like allweps sub6
maiden narwhal
“Any probably many more”
this is v valid there are a bunch of casuals who don't bother with stats and rankings so you have no idea about them or their ability
latent moon
and you gotta realize
you're in the god damn top 0.1% of this game
stop saying you suck
stone rune
i mean im not bad
rustic vale
But you suck at Hades no?
latent moon
then why do you keep insisting you are
stone rune
i dont
maiden narwhal
i cleared 50 and i suck
rustic vale
That’s the impression I get from how you talk about your skill level at the hit game hades
Miss has a sub3
stone rune
ok literally anyone can sub3 the dio beo seed
latent moon
rustic vale
ok literally anyone can sub3 the dio beo seed
Oh yeah?
Mhm
Lets hand the game to someone who’s never played Hades before
or hell me
stone rune
most people’s first attempt is like 23x
latent moon
you do realize like
the only people have attempted that were like
the people you listed as "better" than you
so like
literal top players have run that
rustic vale
Or people who are actively going & prepping their Hades game for it
That’s exclusively big Hades gamers
latent moon
like there's multiple things you need to realize about yourself lmao
that you're much better than you say you are first of all
rustic vale
I refuse to believe I could sub3 with the dio beo seed
latent moon
secondly, you need to recognize that not everything is easy for other players as they are for you
rustic vale
Beowulf is one of my worst weapons
Even seeded I’d have a better shot at it with zag bow
and that would not be anywhere close
to sub3
It’d be like sub7 and theres no shot I’m sub7ing with beo even in optimal conditions
rustic vale
I literally just cannot wield beo properly
maiden narwhal
yeah beo feels weird
rustic vale
what seed would you force on eris, if not delta?
Rocket
maiden narwhal
it's easier to control the reload and not have the broken iframes i think
until it isn't i guess
three bullets is not enough when you have 55 hp
rustic vale
Delta chamber is good, but it’s not the best eris pick
latent moon
i think this is the first time i've heard someone complain about delta chamber lmao
latent moon
you also have to get more in the face of enemies to make use of rocket and getting the boost out of that
