hmmm

#

do i do ach

#

i mean

#

its my most comfy weapon

latent moon
#

if your'e doing dc1 might as well do dc2

#

there's hardly ever a reason to not take dc2 at that point lmao

barren bridge
#

yeah kinda easy doing dc with ach

#

im lock in

YAYAYA

I LOVE IT

#

Hades 4 when

void vigil
#

accidentally did a run with one dash while changing up the mirror and ngl it was not that bad, only lost one death defiance ron

#

im getting close to maxing the mirror, at least i have the things i use maxed

#

(i dont want to think about fated authority darkness grind)

#

Hey I have a question, is there a way to see my total number of successful runs in the House of Hades? I can find total overall runs, but not successful ones

proper tusk
#

if you interact with each weapon you can see the amount of times you've escaped with that weapon

#

and add them up

#

you can see the same thing in the admin chamber

opal hemlock
#

am i alone in saying that cast is literally so clunky and feels awful to use

#

with most weapons at least, i feel like i need to stop momentum to use a cast

#

i notice it most with ares cast but that whole animation zag does feels awkward with weapons like shield or gauntlets

#

if not terrible, i feel like the ability is pretty niche in terms of how efficiently it can be used

latent moon
#

the only practical purpose of the cast is to apply boiling blood on the tanker enemies on aspects that dont involve the cast

opal hemlock
latent moon
#

it's really meant to be like an opener (or after the first hit for fiery presence) to get bonus damage

#

it's excellent against bosses, great for the ely enemies that have too much hp

#

there's no reason to build around the cast if you're not using poseidon, achilles, hera, and beowulf

opal hemlock
#

ig that just makes me sad since the attack and special add so much to the game and cast seems like a dud in comparison

#

im curious if they have more plans for it in hades 2

#

i want to try it but im lowkey torn on waiting for the full release lol

latent moon
#

you can watch a dev play the technical test on their youtube

stone rune
latent moon
#

but i will say that the cast on hades 2 is much more impactful than hades 1

opal hemlock
#

i LOVE to hear that

stone rune
latent moon
#

i wont elaborate how but it does seem a lot stronger

opal hemlock
#

thank you for not spoiling anything

latent moon
stone rune
#

castspects are largely among the best aspect in the game

#

attack and special fail to scale

opal hemlock
#

so im basically trying to speak as a general player

#

base weapons and such, swapping from multiple mirror talents because of fates, lack of darkness, etc

stone rune
#

live boiling blood and tart breakpoint reaction

latent moon
#

i mean boiling blood was already mentioned

#

and the casual player dont care about specific breakpoints

stone rune
#

why

opal hemlock
#

can you explain breakpoint?

latent moon
#

the only specific breakpoint that matters for a casual player is like on hestia lmao

latent moon
stone rune
#

anyone can cast to kill a brimstone

opal hemlock
#

so like the amount of moves it takes to kill something?

latent moon
#

more or less

latent moon

#

#

this game sucks

#

bro

#

22 second c17

#

zeus is the worst aspect in the game

i have literally exited this biome faster than this

#

i hate this game

i just want 1 good run man

untold carbon
#

so I just lost my 22 streak to using Guan Yu Spear for the first time lmao

fervent radish
#

Many such cases

tepid light
#

i'd ask if you at least had it upgraded, but even a fully upgraded guan yu is a difficult beast to tame

real bough
#

I also thought Zeus was bad too

#

untill I did a full build of him

#

oh boy you dont know how op his full build is

stone rune
#

i dont actually think zeus is bad

real bough
#

well some newbies might look at the

#

pre buffed small ticks of dmg

#

and be kinda, mehed

opal hemlock
#

can you see which runs thanatos appears in in the logs?

latent moon
#

no i dont think so

opal hemlock
#

yeah you’re right i can’t find it :(

latent moon
#

the only time you can know for sure is if you get the "robbed thanatos" thingy

opal hemlock
#

i dont even think i saw that

latent moon
#

yeah it's a pretty difficult one to get

#

i'm pretty sure he has to get 0 kills or something

#

yeah if he gets 0 kills in the encounter you get the "robbed thanatos" message at the end of the run, which would show up in the logs

opal hemlock
#

ohhh like where it says other random things?

#

are those just like random generalized “titles” for like a playstyle in your run or event

#

i saw a few in fancy print in the center of the page

fervent radish
#

They are dependent on things that happen during the run

opal hemlock
#

in a few different runs, not on everyone of them though

fervent radish
#

I’m pretty sure there’s a list somewhere

latent moon
#

yeah some runs aren't eventful enough to warrant a message lmao

#

yeah on the wiki

opal hemlock
opal hemlock
latent moon
#

run clear messages

opal hemlock
#

i wish there was a badge to get them all or something

#

is there?

latent moon
#

idk prob not

opal hemlock
#

i actually cant even check bc my internet is out😭

latent moon
#

some of them are insane to get

#

like one of them is getting a bunch of nectar in one run?

#

i've never seen anyone get 2 in a run naturally before without premium vintage

sullen ember
#

Might be a silly question, but does purging a duo boon count for the "purge a legendary boon" achievement?

latent moon
#

prob not

#

you can try but idrk lmao

stone rune
#

no

sullen ember
#

my logic was that if that mirror upgrade gives you an increased chance for both legendary and duo, they might've counted as the same thing

#

but I knew it was a stretch

#

hence my question lol

latent moon
#

yeah they're in the same rarity pool

stone rune
#

duos are legendaries in the code

#

but purging a duo would be too easy i think lol

sullen ember
#

guess so considering I've gotten plenty of duos in my past couple of runs but not one legendary

#

didn't pay much attention to their rarity previously, but now that I actually want the achievement I've realized they are quite uncommon

#

either that or I am rather unlucky

latent moon
#

nah legendaries are a pain in the ass to get

#

bc you need to see the same god minimum 3 times

#

which like isn't impossible but also some of the legendary prereqs kinda just suck

#

but a duo you just need to see 2 different gods and hit the prereqs, which generally isn't too hard

#

and then either of those two gods can offer the duo

opal hemlock
#

is it possible to not see thanatos for a long time?

#

i feel like i havent seen him in like 5-10 runs

stone rune
#

reasonable

midnight delta
#

It's random

opal hemlock
#

dang ok

#

that sucks its right when im about to pick between him and meg and i keep running into meg

#

and i dont want to choose meg 💀

desert tundra
#

they're both cool zagluv

opal hemlock
#

im going to pick her on another run

#

i just told myself i would choose him the first time

stone rune
opal hemlock
#

wait can you choose to be in a relationship with both of them??

minor forge
opal hemlock
#

ooooh okay

#

well now i have to do a third run where i see that play out

tepid light
minor forge
# opal hemlock ooooh okay

there's also (mild spoilers for mentioning a dialogue scene w no specifics) ||a few dialogue scenes where the two of them acknowledge it and are very cool with the polyam stuff <3||

steep condor
#

on my hell mode file it took me 403 runs for what i think is the final scene re: that relationship to appear btw

opal hemlock
steep condor
#

in case you'll be wondering "is it normal for than to not show up" again

opal hemlock
#

im crying

#

hope thats not a sign that mine will take too much longer

minor forge
#

oh yeah sometimes he just goes missing for extended periods of time. i find it especially happened while I was progressing his story the most

tepid light
#

he's a busy guy

#

lot of work to do as the god of death

opal hemlock
#

i miss him :(

minor forge
minor forge
opal hemlock
#

lmfao real

tepid light
#

i didn't romance thanatos primarily because he and zagreus still feel way too close to siblings for it to be comfortable

but perhaps this is a discussion better suited to #h1-story-discussion

steep condor
minor forge
#

oh that's valid. i personally just never read it that way on my first playthrough so i never really even knew people thought that until i was already a hardcore ot3 shipper (re: the siblings thing)

tepid light
#

ships be ships

minor forge
#

ig bc they're all kinda related because it's greek myth but the game does a good job of distinguishing which relations are familial

tepid light
#

the issue is that zagreus and thanatos have gone their entire lives believing that they were literal brothers from the same mother, and zagreus 'recently' finding out otherwise doesn't just immediately change the emotional aspect

#

imo, at least

minor forge
#

i see the argument though. re: zag being treated like one of nyx' kids most his life. although the dialogue scenes about zag almost getting punted for commenting on than's hair and than watching while he harasses cerberus making me feel like they weren't too close growing up. especially not as close as than and hypnos

minor forge
#

but yeah the perspective definitely makes sense to me on a logical level lol

tepid light
#

(another factor is that I myself am just not as inclined towards polyamory but that's just me and no judgement on anyone who is)

minor forge
#

yeah I get that. I'm not even polyam irl. i just love the three of them so much.

steep condor

#

its mythologically accurate that

#

gods be

#

"doing whatever they want"

#

Zeus be bruh bruhing every princesses and women he sees

steep condor
#

there's a difference between "gods doing what they want" in mythology and a modern adaptation explicitly condoning polyamory (and bisexuality, or egalitarian homosexuality)

real bough
#

well Achilles did they lots of gods have more than one mate and Hades is the only exception

steep condor
#

mythological gods were literally part of people's religion. they weren't just characters in a story. they had a function beyond that, which explains some of their behaviour

untold carbon
#

If I'm going to just spam special I'd rather run Zag Aspect with Exploding Launcher and NOT lose any max HP

tepid light
untold carbon
#

oof

#

that's a lot of titan blood I could have used elsewhere lmao

#

I am curious about trying a low-heat run one day where I fish for spin-related hammers an put Athena on the basic attack to create an invincible projectile

#

using Guan Yu

tepid light
#

once again, just my view

latent moon
#

spin is (somehow) actually good

#

although idk if it's good bc of pseudo tech or of it was good before that

latent moon
#

that's the meta attack for heat

tepid light
#

I've made my own opinion on Guan Yu very clear before, so I'll leave discussion of Guan Yu optimization to others

latent moon
#

what was the opinion lmao i dont remember

#

tbf i would still recommend people to focus on the special since that's a lot easier

stone rune
#

that it is somehow unsafe

latent moon
#

i mean it's kinda both

#

50% hp is rough

#

but charged skewer special spam is pretty safe

#

it's just that single mistakes are more punishing

#

it's not exactly safe, but it's not like that unsafe either

tepid light
#

even without seeing jazz's message i can guess what she said

#

"guan yu is safe"

desert tundra
#

this is why Arthur is on top zaggrin

tepid light
#

simple as that

latent moon
#

that's fair

#

i def wouldn't call it safe tho lmao

tepid light
#

we're in agreement then

void vigil
#

guan yu is safe just win morganSmile
i played it recently and on max level it was way more fun than 1st level LOL and actually a change of pace of almost 150 runs of hera

latent moon
#

granted good build and decent game sense i guess

tepid light
void vigil
#

i definitely had to turn high confidence off while running GY im no god gamer

tepid light
#

dw i'm not gonna go on a big rant again

latent moon
#

high confidence gy is funny

void vigil
#

maybe ill do that sometime but like, absolutely no guarantee i win

latent moon
#

just dont get hit easy

void vigil

ez

stone rune

just don’t get caustic and it’s free

latent moon
#

caustic is the bombs one right

stone rune
#

yeah

latent moon
#

get caustic and use ruthless reflex for free 50% scaling

stone rune
#

if i get sub5 unmodded in the next week i think amir should buy me hades 2

steep condor
# tepid light eh i mean a 'sibling that you aren't incredibly close to' is still a sibling, wi...

i mean, yeah, but that's where the being immortal thing comes in imo. my eldest sibling is 10 years older than me and we barely interacted except for the first few years of my life (in which he was mostly throwing things at me) and then again later as adults. we're still siblings, but if he was ten more or hundreds to thousand years older? idk if i'd consider him my brother tbh

also with zag not being able to leave the underworld it's not like he has a lot of optionszaglol

but yeah either way your opinion is valid of course not trying to convince you or sth

latent moon
#

actually idk if she's getting a copy or not

#

but i doubt she is lmao

stone rune

but it would be funny

also angel should get a copy lol

why you sounding a bit medieval

i think its widely known as the best weapon aspect of the game in speedrunning, and just a good one in general

What does the jolted effect actually do bc I honestly can't tell

tepid light

whats your opinions on the shield. its the thing thats gotten me the farthest in the game other than the fists. I'm new so I'd like to know what ppl think

mint coral

My favorite weapon

brisk trail

the combo potential is kinda crazy combining the bash and then dash

I'm saving my keys for the rail right now. be trying that nect

#

next

mint coral
#

But yeah zeus flurry jab also works

fervent radish
#

If you really like the shield, pick up aspect of Zeus or hidden aspect of shield

brisk trail
#

doom effect is ridiculous as well. I've always hated top down type of games, but this one is great

fervent radish
#

Doom isn’t amazing on the shield since the dash strike will scale better with a %

brisk trail
#

I just cheesed a survive room by sitting in a corner with it charged lol

old bluff
#

Classic strat

brisk trail
#

I love speed in games though. whats the fastest weapon with good dmg. I gotta get better at dodging also. always taking so much damage

mint coral
#

Shield bouldy

#

Tho its fastest aspect is one you won't have for a while

brisk trail
#

I thought shield was the slowest weapon in the game?

old bluff
#

Beo is by far the fastest aspect in the game

#

It’s not even close if your not croven

mint coral
brisk trail
#

watched a video of a speedrun which is how I got into the game. maybe it was an older video but idk. feels like the malphon weapon is faster just consecutive hit wise though when I used them. they are the second weapon that got me the farthest

just had a nutty coo coo bannanas hunting blades run

sorry if this is a bit unrelated, but i’m curious because a ton of other rougelikes have cameos in it
But If a Hades weapon and a Zagreus skin were to be put into DeadCells, what weapon/aspect would you pick to represent the franchise?

warm kraken
#

The gun

gentle venture
#

Logic would tell me that they’d put in the sword cuz its the default, but i’d want something more interesting

tropic loom
#

Bring back Varatha

gentle venture
# warm kraken The gun

I think that would work but only as a two slot weapon that keeps both of its abilities

stone rune
#

spagheti plate

warm kraken
#

Better yet-the Christian mythology gun

gentle venture
#

actually i think that would be fun as hell in dead cells

warm kraken
#

Told ya

stone rune
#

spagheti

gentle venture
#

I could also see them doing the fists or a shield

Honestly the only one i think they straight up wouldnt put in is the bow, or MAYBE the spear because the spin attack wouldnt translate to side scrolling very well

#

i’d love to see hades get other cameos, i’d simply pass away

stone rune
#

spear has a spin?

warm kraken
#

Yeah?

urban wasp
#

yeah.

are you serious

#

yea lol

gentle venture
#

what the hell

#

welp that means hes totally gonna be a real character in the next one

#

or at least the odds are way higher than they couldve been

#

Honestly, hell yeah. Good for supergiant.

#

Acknowledged by the largest crossover franchise of all time, which also happens to be under Nintendo’s umbrella

That’s one hell of an achievement.

latent moon
gentle venture
#

I figure theyd do it as a two slot weapon to maintain its moveset

gentle venture
#

That smash moveset would be a whole nother ballgame too

#

It would probably be like byleth with a different weapon on each special or something

#

Or maybe like a different weapon on neutral and up and down special, the dash on side specials, and like fists on his regular attacks?

#

It would be cool if the included stage were a moving one that goes through each level of the underworld with like enemies and bosses doing stuff in the background

mint coral
#

what even would be his recover

fervent radish
#

Dying

gentle venture
#

or maybe some sort of recoil explosion thing from the rail

#

Or maybe use the spear as like a pole vault?

mint coral
#

pull a kirby and use the spear as helicopter

gentle venture
#

that would be funny, im sure they could justify it somehow lol

#

have it so its the regular spin attack on the ground, like how links works

#

just bigger spin range cuz bigger weapon

maybe not the special edition but the regular edition will probably be there a while

the bastion one is still available and it was a looong time ago

i also got that edition, its very beautiful

Right now i think all of the vinyls in my collection are standard black ones, but thats also cuz most of the vinyls i have are old ones gifted from my grandparents

I’ve been on amazon all week adding Vinyls to my list, so its kinda convenient that this one restocked when it did

absolutely

i snagged the 10th anniversary edition so technically i do have all of the vinyls... but the individual ones are so nice :)

Oh my fourth run I finally beat Hades with it today

#

Achilles aspect is so broken tho-

#

I got like two legendaries and 1 duo

#

My main dmg was coming from rift cast

#

I got it to like level 8 on epic

#

With the legendary where it deals +2 every consecutive hit

#

Honestly I almost cried today tho

#

I had a play through from last night WITH 7 DUOS

I HATE THEESUS

I HAVE ALL THE RESPECT FOR THE MINATOUR BUT THEESUS NO

How many duos were actually good tho

The scam is when you go for ea on purpose

like i wouldn't count it as good because yeah, it's not part of a build

I at most gamble for it on trippy flare

Oh yeah my trippy flare was busted too

Was it flare tho

Lvl 4 with 72%

I always seem to get decent crits with it

And I just Pom it

problem is 0 aoe

and less damage than aphro cast

what's black metal doing anyways

just extra damage

you get invuln and just sit on their face

what happens with ares call:

-> hades fight

-> you sit and rethink about your life while a bell rings in the distance

that's just bad timing

i'm sorry but hades and my rng don't go well together

the issue with ares call is the dmg is wet paper lvl lmao

if you want damage just go zeus or arty call

I seem to get about 25%-33% of Hades life per use

with ares call

cp minus 2 moment

#

the only thing ares call is good for is budget athena

quiet merlin
#

is that bad? I've only been playing for a few weeks

getting away from somewhere

#

and then getting back in

quiet merlin
#

athena's dash best dash

stuck garden
#

YES

wary iron
#

finally

mint coral
#

for starters it may be a lil better cuz you don't really know about builds

stuck garden
#

athena dash

wary iron
#

a cold take

mint coral
#

so the dmg that ares call gives you is around the same bouldy

#

but even something as simple as zeus atk + jolted on fists/rail will be a lot better

cold isle
wary iron
#

i mean athena call is enough to destroy a whole phase of whatever boss

mint coral
#

and ares call doesn't let you use your own weapon

quiet merlin
#

true

mint coral
#

pos's aid is similar on that regard but dmg is also higher/faster to get away with

barren bridge
quiet merlin
#

poseidon's is worse than ares' imo

mint coral
#

also to get good value from ares call (that is not just to abuse the iframes) you need greater calls

#

which also aren't very good bouldy

stuck garden
cold isle

#

poseidon is good for taking out multiple lower level enemies quickly one at a time

I love tidal dash

does it interrupt their attack or like what

i just find it mildly amusing that achilles talks about poms having ‘antioxidants’ and is confused to what they are and what they do

he says hes a warrior, not a nutritionist

Anyways beat hades for the fifth time with twin fists

Now to use shield

2 32s

and then like 3 dem runs and 1 gilga

I legit hard pushed my way through the first ending

people get hidden aspects that fast?

I got like a lot of titan blood from a prophecy somewhere

Master of arms give 10 titan blood just by beating hades with the 6 weapons

Traded some ambrosia for titan blood as well

This won’t end well

jw how hard is it to accidentally figure out how to get the hidden aspects

Yeah unlocking hidden aspects (at least GY + the one for your most used weapon) ain't that bad

#

Unless you tunnel vision a lil too hard into the one weapon you like and never unlocked more stuff for other weapons

kindred onyx
#

So I was wondering…

#

What’s the point of this wall here ?

#

I can’t think of a single gameplay reason why it’s there

#

Or lore reason

#

The first time I saw it I got stuck for a solid minute trying to figure out how to get in before I realized I can just dash through it

I mean story wise, that's her bedroom, so it's a bit of privacy.

Hey all i just finished the main story part of the game and i was wondering if there are any mods worth the download.

This is my second time clearing with spear

I took no dmg in the first half so I was like “eh I’ll just get closer so I can kill him faster fr”

Me who passed up on it twice in the run then got it at the end lmao

why did you skipped it

#

Epic too

cold isle

taking jolted helps in that case

That was the like the last boon I needed for my build

cuz it has a 50% to show up vs others

Oh okay didn’t know that

well

If you are gonna do zeus achilles again try with athena's cast instead

perchance

#

tbf zeus cast was interestingly the closest i got to a 45 clear for spear

cold isle
mint coral
#

I only like trippy shot if I get ice wine too

#

The lob is annoying

cold isle
#

While it is slow it was doing so much damage and I had the festive fog storm duo

#

I love when foes just stay in place and get zapped

#

amazing

If you like that one duo wait for lightning rod

cold isle
#

Oh yeah bc the return time

For LR I just need Any Atk/cast/spec/dash/aid right? For Zeus and Artemis?

i did the unseen one but i had to refund the mirror for it... sad days

I love doing that refund darkness

void vigil
#

i filled most of it back up tho

cold isle
#

It’s so satisfying

autumn rose
#

ive refunded the mirror things i basically never use

#

like the funni dash whats it even called

#

ruthless reflex

void vigil
#

i dont have all of the last 3 maxed out in either side of the mirror but i think the rest is done

#

honestly, after that i would consider my save complete

cold isle
stiff obsidian
#

my save will never be complete

cold isle
#

But I’ve switched to dash

#

For dash attack on spear

autumn rose
cold isle
#

It really depends just how much you value extra dash

#

I didn’t use dash attack a lot on bow I’d rather just charge it at full power so I switched to ruthless reflex

#

Which lmao is really annoying now bc I always think I only have one dash when I try to dodge and I’m like oh 2

cold isle
#

Like festive fog

mint coral
#

it makes it so it charges faster

cold isle
#

Ya but I just like doing power shots fully charged lol

#

Like ofc I did use it but not as often like Spear for example

mint coral
#

you also get to add dash strike bonuses

#

just for a bit less of base dmg

cold isle
mint coral
#

you still power shot with dash strikes tho

cold isle
#

Ik

#

I just for some reason didn’t use it that often or I’d just use my special at a close range for a quick attack

rugged nest
#

How the heck do you beat Theseus and that stupid minotaur?

mint coral
#

tl;dr focus on bull first, use pillars to dodge spear throws/bull rushing to you

cold isle
cold isle
mint coral
#

use all your attacks during Theseus phase change to go through it as fast as possible

cold isle
#

Asterius first fr

#

Theesus doesn’t really start hitting hard until second phase

rugged nest
cold isle
#

He’s kinda slow so just focus on the asterius

cold isle
#

But you have to be pretty close for it to work well right?

#

?

#

I haven’t really played that weapon a lot

#

But asterius kinda has a color flash before he hits and he moves

mint coral
#

Pos dash can work but with fists is kinda annoying yeah

rugged nest
#

There's an upgrade that increases the range

mint coral
#

are you using pos atk

cold isle
#

You can dash right before his attack then just come back to him

#

A good cast would be good too

cold isle
#

That’s when you dash

#

His hardest hitting attack is his jump attack probably

#

The bull rush sucks too but he kinda waits for like a microsecond then hits you when he gets close to yiu

#

It’s kinda a flash graphic too

#

Lil side tip asterius can be affected by Aphrodites aid

#

It cancels his attacks and he just walks around the stadium

#

Really good when he’s using bull rush

#

Good boy asterius

cold isle
cold isle
#

I used this Strat a lot bc I really struggled with his faster attacks when I first started fighting him

mint coral
#

if you pom aphro's aid enough you can have it last enough to attack Theseus

#

or even funnier, have Theseus's phase change attack Asterius

cold isle
#

Omg lmao I should’ve thought of that

#

I never really charged it to max in the fight I just used it to cancel his attacks

#

The split second aid is really good lol bc it resets his attack pattern too

cold isle
mint coral
#

just the big dmg

cold isle
#

I didn’t know that 💀💀💀

#

Omg I’ve been playing this whole time thinking it was a second ☠️☠️☠️☠️

#

Nah bro I’m gonna have to restart my save🗿🗿

#

Idk if I should be doing higher heat runs lmao 🗿

#

I’ve only really gotten into the technical aspects like now

mint coral
#

fwiw aphro's call doesn't get much use in high heat lol

cold isle
#

B4 I just chose my fav god and which one dealed more damaged

cold isle
#

I just used aphro aid for charm

#

For Asterius

cold isle
#

Not just dmg

mint coral
#

@cold islebeowulf shield

#

start post cast, find arty then get mirage shot

#

mirage + flares is bugged so the 2nd cast doesn't get the reduced dmg

cold isle
#

Oh okay! Ty!

I haven’t tried shield yet but I will soon

other than that is usually used as styx cleanser at most

How do you get more Titan's Blood to upgrade weapons?

mint coral
# rugged nest How do you get more Titan's Blood to upgrade weapons?

How do I get more blood
-beating the first boss for the first time with a weapon will net you one blood.
-final boss drops another + after that you unlock the best way to farm blood.
other sources:
trading for it at lounge (- 1 ambrosia for 1 T.blood is always there and sometimes. -15 keys for 1 blood which is super good)
list of minor prophecies.
-Charon may sell one blood for 1200 gold at the last area shop

I like to do just

Rama aspect max

The difference of aphro atk vs shackle is that with aphro you can also use another keepsake

Around 700 damage 🗣️

You can also pom aphro atk so it goes past the 100%

Man. I truly missed out my first time playing this game 😂 I’m loving trying new builds and challenging myself! Hopefully I can learn to love the bow
