fossil notch
#

lessen

latent moon
#

oh lessen

fossil notch
#

if u could buy either

#

a centaur heart

#

or poseidon boon

#

which would u take

latent moon
#

sure footing in aspho is fine as a newer player tbh but flourish is gonna be more helpful for 1 specific case that would prob get you killed lmao

tepid light
#

do you have a dash boon already

fossil notch
#

nope

#

maybe hermes

tepid light
#

go for poseidon

fossil notch
#

if it counts the sprint

#

ok

tepid light
#

get poseidon dash

latent moon
#

hermes doesnt count

fossil notch
#

oh

#

athena showed up too

latent moon
#

hermes is more similar to a hammer than typical olympian boons

fossil notch
#

unshakable mettle

#

u cannot be stunned and resist boss dmg

latent moon
#

what are the other optoins lmao

fossil notch
#

razor shoal and tempest flourish are the other two

tepid light
#

what are the other choices

latent moon
#

do you have pos attack

fossil notch
#

whats pos

latent moon
#

poseidon

tepid light
#

he has aphro iirc

fossil notch
#

yea

#

knockback

tepid light
#

oh

latent moon
#

what rarity is shoals

tepid light
#

in that case razor shoals imo

fossil notch
#

it is rare

latent moon
#

yeah shoals

runic jungle
latent moon
#

no

fossil notch
#

nopr

runic jungle
#

Oh L

#

But it is the best dash at least imo
Especially for the final area

tepid light
#

athena dash or pos dash would have been great

#

alas he was offered neither

latent moon
#

game bad moment

fossil notch
#

beat hydra

#

how do i check my boons i wanansee if i have a dash

#

yea idont have one

#

i can purge

tepid light
#

well you've got access to both poseidon and athena now

fossil notch
#

great reflex or dying lament

tepid light
#

either one of their dashes would be good

tepid light
fossil notch
#

kk

#

new area

tepid light
#

welcome to elysium

fossil notch
#

green

#

deadelus hammer

#

or centaur heart

tepid light
#

how much max hp do you have

fossil notch
#

125

#

i have the skelly boon at 75

#

and a death defiance

tepid light
#

uhhh, it'd personally go for the centaur heart

but hammer is also very good

up to you

fossil notch
#

i got hammer

#

sniper shot, triple shot, or charged volley

#

think sniper would be useful cause of my kb

#

imma get sniper then

tepid light
#

yeah it's probably the most useful of those three

#

you are getting some unfortunately rather mediocre offerings in this run

latent moon
#

how is sniper more useful than triple lmao

#

triple strong

tepid light
#

eh i'm not a fan of it

#

he picked sniper himself anyway

fossil notch
#

crush shot

#

aphrodites aid

#

or passion dash

#

aid is raer otehr 2 are epic

tepid light
#

do you have a cast boon yet

fossil notch
#

no

#

i havent used it yet

worthy olive
#

Yesterday in my music theory class, we analyzed Good Riddance as part of our video game music unit!

(We being myself, the teacher, and the college students lol)

tepid light
# fossil notch no

ok i PERSONALLY like aphrodite aid a lot but i understand a lot of people don't play the way i do

passion dash isn't a great dash so i'd suggest crush shot

even if you never use your cast, having the aphrodite boon opens up some opportunities

fossil notch
#

ok

#

imma get crush then

#

damn i used my death defied

#

i can have hunter -dash

#

exit wounds(epic)

#

or pressure oints(epic)

#

crit chance looks nice

#

4%

tepid light
#

yeah pressure points is nice

fossil notch
#

beat theseus and the minos

#

but it took both of my death defiances

#

im out now

#

oo tidal dash

#

imma get that

tepid light
#

nice

fossil notch
#

@tepid light ok so

#

epic ahrodites aid

#

differrent league(epic)

#

or parting shot duo

#

i got past cerebus

#

im in the snow now

#

oh thers hades

tepid light
#

wow ok

aight in this situation i'd take aphrodite's aid just because the other two are very mediocre in your situation

#

just remember to only use it when your call meter is full

fossil notch
#

yea too late sorry i took different league

tepid light
#

ah rip

fossil notch
tepid light
#

might still be helpful

fossil notch
#

I BEAT HIM

#

I BEAT HADES

#

@tepid light

#

i think

#

unless he has a second phase

#

then im coked

tepid light
#

wait for it

fervent radish
#

very real hades moment

fossil notch
#

of course he had a secon phase

#

i got him to 1/3 his hp on second phase

#

but died

#

damn

#

so close

tepid light
#

well hey, you got pretty far

#

congrats on your progress nevertheless

#

you'll get him next time

fossil notch
#

well thats annoying

#

if not for his magma beam thingies

#

ambrosia is basically a special nectar type you use at certain points within a given relationship

is there a book by supergiant on the development of hades, with a ton of unused concept art and early drafts?? i absolutely loved the no-clip documentaries, but would love a physical book filled with concept art and such so im hoping something like that exists

Does anybody here have Hades 1 Early Access memories? It's where I spent most of my 311h with the game, but I can't remember any OP builds or anything

stone rune
#

i dont think anybody knew good builds

sage nova
#

I remember Satyr poison obliterating you and how hard OG Lernie kicked my ass and that's it

sage nova
#

Can't remember what though

stone rune
#

werent they using like

#

poseidon sword with true shot though

sage nova
#

The main reason I spammed Poseidon back then was because it was fun to keep knocking enemies against walls and into lava

#

The original shackle also gave 500% environmental damage

#

so basically you want to strip damage control and then hug gorgon. when crusher is about to land, meg and you'll iframe the hit while hopefully stripping armor from both(prioritize crusher or wait for next cycle if you mess up)

#

and then just play as normal

mint coral
#

@round hill my way of thinking of why skelly just dips after a while if you don't swap weapons is cuz it doesn't need to display the tutorial for the weapon

#

So less bug, more intentional (but annoying)

round hill
#

Ig but I think it’s a bit weird to hide an entire character if the game thinks you don’t need to practice

#

Y’a know?

im not really clicking with any weapons except fists :/

the rest of them seem more boring to me

and for some of them, less intuitive of what builds would be good

alright i got flurry jab on first hammer the game has redeemed itself

oblique blade

thats the one that shortens dash right?

mint coral
#

no

oblique blade
#

oh just kidding

mint coral
#

that's serrated point

oblique blade

haha

flurry is hold for faster atk/no spin

oh yep

worldly mason

thank you, my friend

oblique blade
#

you could probably look up some youtube videos and get a better answer then you will here tbh

mint coral
#

are you on controller or kbm

worldly mason
mint coral
#

yeah

worldly mason
#

Controller

vague peak
#

alright…

mint coral
#

remap cast to a shoulder button so it's easier to load them while attacking

worldly mason
#

like

#

dayumm

worldly mason
mint coral
#

aphro cast and just pom it

oblique blade
#

are you looking for a build?

mint coral
#

add chaos cast dmg/extra casts (or from charon)

#

hermes rush delivery as always good but quick reload is decent for bosses

#

or you learn wall bugging

#

snow burst really good at picking up small enemies

oblique blade
#

charons item is good too cause extra casts isnt that rare in shops

mint coral
#

also sigil of the dad is good vs dad too

#

(you can swap to it in ely too but charon keepsake in any chamber from ely can last you to dad with a 2 sack)

worldly mason
#

hmm

#

interesting

mint coral
#

if you haven't picked up 2nd hermes and have rush delivery open avoiding dad call is also good

#

to not open hermes's call boons

oblique blade
#

you cant get hermes call boons with dad call?

#

or is it other way around

#

oh it is i understand now

#

haha

mint coral
vague peak
mint coral
#

idk

#

100% dmg really good

vague peak
#

maybe I just need to use it more… maybe I should play hades more lmao.

mint coral
#

tbf

#

is pretty much a speedrun only keepsake

#

acorn/tooth too good

vague peak
#

ikr, the acorn can protect you against strong attacks that hit hard at a cap of 5 while the tooth gives you an extra death defiance.

#

it’s situational but you don’t know how much the acorn saved me in Elysium or Asphodel.

vague peak
#

but I’m planning too :>

mint coral
#

when dad's weakest attack is 20 acorn just has too much value lmao

vague peak
#

SO TRUE.

mint coral
vague peak
mint coral
#

yeah dad and zag natural abilities are well, similar

vague peak
#

I should really use it more lol.

mint coral
#

cast/boiling blood/dash

vague peak
#

bro… the tooth saved me so much earlier on. I was struggling lol.

#

(also my indecisiveness doesn’t help lol)

mint coral
#

acorn pretty much always rules over tooth

#

on super dad is more of a gamble though

#

thanks to B.balls/Sneak

vague peak
#

when it comes to the mirror… I’m glad I changed my original plan.

mint coral
vague peak
#

Sneak can be a pain when it happens in a run. That mini-boss is literally the definition of tedious.

#

like it disappearing and reappearing again is such a coward move lol.

#

I remember when I hated doomstone.

#

But honestly… I got over it pretty quickly.

#

Also I got better too.

stuck garden
vague peak
#

I was like: IT CAN SHOOT LASERS?!

#

But… I hate the Snakestones more now xD

stuck garden
#

SO REAL

vague peak
#

I mean it’s probably the top 2nd most annoying enemy in Styx.

#

The top 1 goes towards to… ||TINY RAT|| and you know why.

hidden crest
#

the satyrs are really annoying until you realize that they track you during the windup so you have to dash at the end instead of the start

vague peak
vague peak
#

well that makes it much easier.

mint coral
#

you can also just nuke them

toxic kindle
#

can anyone tell me how to get hidden spear aspect

vague peak
#

i also love how Styx just casually makes enemy poisonous lol.

mint coral
vague peak
#

rats and satyrs.

mint coral

keep talking to achilles after that

vague peak

So it appears that I have been sleeping on artemis call this whole time.

Any tips on how to survive those rat rooms?

vague peak

#

Poseidon dash?

vague peak

#

Alright that's cool

#

How about finding the satyr sack?

hidden crest
#

get lucky

mint coral
vague peak
mint coral
#

they are easier at least

#

the sack itself is a coin flip tho

vague rivet
#

Oh boy

mint coral
#

around 52 to be on 2nd tunnel

vague peak
#

pretty sure.

mint coral
#

yeah

#

just gotta get lucky

runic jungle
mint coral
#

tony is annoying

#

but after a while you at least can understand its patterns

#

vs a million enemies in a big room

#

that also has traps everywhere

vague rivet
#

Do the miniboss rooms have a chance of having a satyr sack in them?

mint coral
#

the only rule for the sack is that the first tunnel you enter can't have it

#

miniboss rooms are just easier to beat

vague peak
mint coral
#

well both apply really

vague rivet
mint coral
#

you didn't dusa

mint coral
vague rivet
#

Then on one of my attempts I end up beating all the tunnels and then found the sack in the last tunnel

mint coral
runic jungle
#

I usually find that sack in 2-3 chambers
Is it possible to have to go through all of them and find it in the last one?
Honestly asking
I think I'd be so mad if it happened to me lol

vague rivet
#

Is one sack not enough for a dog!?

mint coral
#

the small rooms make the enemies play ping pong

runic jungle
vague peak
#

there’s something I’ve been waiting to ask: when I find the sack… should I clear the remaining tunnels?

mint coral
#

often no

vague peak
#

ok… just was asking.

mint coral
#

no more fountain so the dmg you take will stay

mint coral
#

it can kill runs under td3 bouldy

#

2 sack is ideal not only for time but for the patty buff

vague peak
runic jungle
vague rivet
#

Is it really true that minibosses are easier than the tunnels?

mint coral
runic jungle
#

Also question, Athena is the only one who has attacks that can deflect right?

mint coral
vague peak
mint coral
#

tho it also depends on something more

#

do you have summons yet

#

Oh man that's gonna be tough

vague peak
#

I didn’t know that’s

mint coral
#

unmodded you take them first just in case is not a 2 sack

vague rivet
#

It's either a tiny rat or a sack

mint coral
vague peak
#

though do keep in mind…. duo boons kinda change some things.

mint coral
#

nothing changes the deflect tho

vague peak
#

but yeah… Athena is your go-to for defensive efficiency.

#

unless you have Aegis… almost every weapon is really good with her.

#

I’d recommend getting her boons when you have the chance in a run.

runic jungle
#

I'm going to go with Athena boons for my next shield run for the lols
I'll be untouchable as long as I remember to dodge when necessary 🔥
That Hercules from wish won't see it coming

#

I'm ngl chill seems really useless asf by itself
I really regret not going for dio boons too

hidden crest
#

though slowing attack speed can throw you off if you dash based on the normal timing, I think the animations are the same speed and they just wait between windup and execution

runic jungle
cold isle
#

I keep dying

#

Literally had the best boons but lost a ton of hp 😔

hidden crest
cold isle
#

Never taking chaos boons b4 a boss battle

vague peak
#

or the other way around.

#

but the benefits depending on the curse type: can be super helpful.

mint coral
#

just keep your hp above 0 while reducing the boss hp to 0

#

what curse it was btw

runic jungle
# cold isle I keep dying

I used to be like you too dw!
We all start somewhere.
It got better when I learned to dodge properly tho.

cold isle
#

I’m not even on high heat 😭😭

#

Idk why I’m so poopy rn

mint coral
#

those curses are fine most of the time

cold isle
mint coral
#

they can't kill you dusa

#

taking it before the boss is just a pain tho

vague peak
mint coral
#

just gotta mind that

#

(like it happened this time)

cyan pike
#

One time i got cooked because I got a chaos curse that decreased my dash and I went into elysium and got demolished by the chariots lol

mint coral
#

-dash distance/enshrouded/+enemies always sucks

cold isle
#

Wait I just got epic drunken strike

mint coral
#

but on tart I take -dash sometimes

cold isle
#

I might cook

mint coral
#

if I lose it was in tart anyways so lol

cold isle
#

Actually wait no it was theesus

#

THEUSUSSSSSSS

#

My god I was literally about to deflect but I lost iframes from my previous attack

vague peak
cold isle
#

Nah I’m usually good at slaying theesus

#

I need more DPS

#

I should’ve traded epic divine strike for that heroic drunken strike

stone rune
#

nope

#

nope

#

don't do that

#

ever

#

wait

#

do you mean dash for dash

#

or strike for strike

cold isle
#

No strike

mint coral
#

what wep is this

stone rune
#

what weapon

cold isle
#

strike for strike

cold isle
#

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE GOD HE CALLS ON KICKS UR BUTR

stone rune
#

i mean theseus is pretty free

mint coral

normal Theseus is a joke

vague peak
cold isle
#

honestly I just hate him

#

I have actual problems with him

#

Personal.. problems

#

Asterius I like his fight fr

cyan pike
#

I just get greedy with theseus and take unnecessary damage tbh

vague peak
#

yeah but LET ME TELL YOU… he gets worse with heat applied.

cold isle
#

Whenever I’m not uber focused Theesus catches me off guard

cold isle
cold isle
#

I got greedy this time

I got greedy and tried to hit him with my strike

or the structures you see.

vague peak
#

every boss works for this except the Furies and the final boss.

fervent radish
#

Or just obtain an object of your own

mint coral
vague peak
mint coral
#

also for Theseus I find it easier to just dodge the spin attack instead

#

if you don't wanna hide/time the dash for the throw

vague peak
runic jungle
#

You can make the minotaur crash into him right?
Man I just got through with that battle and I still can't remember names lol

you gotta have fast reflexes.

vague peak
cold isle
mint coral
#

charm has nothing to do with that

cold isle
#

He starts walking a bit

#

Idk if it can make him attack

mint coral
#

you can just dash through Theseus while bull is rushing you and most surely you'll get him to crash

vague peak

# cold isle HOW

Gotta go fast and leas asterius to him!
I haven't quite pulled it off yet myself tho but I have a mission

mint coral
#

boses have 1/3rd of normal charm duration

vague peak
#

I have a question @cold isle what weapon do you usually use?

vague peak
#

also what’s making Theseus annoying for you exactly?

cold isle
#

Heroic

vague peak
#

oh…

cold isle
#

I think I’m being too harsh blaming him

vague peak
cold isle
fervent radish
#

Lightning phalanx could do stuff

#

Hunting blades

cold isle
#

HB cast

#

Artemis t1 plus blade rift?

vague peak
#

but also… definitely experiment with weapons and builds… it makes it more fun imo.

fervent radish
#

Slicing shot

cold isle
#

Did a build with HB and ares legendary

vague peak
#

another good thing about builds is knowing what harmonizes and what doesn’t: aka synergies.

runic jungle
vague peak
#

and they can definitely get interesting and unique at points.

#

for ex: Artemis, Athena, and Aphrodite with the right boons harmonize very well.

#

even Ares could work to add some extra spice to it… but it really depends on what hammers and boons you have in the run.

runic jungle
#

Oh I really don't like ares boons.
Except for his attack bc I have finally paid attention to what doom does.
What weapons are even best for him?

vague peak
#

will say… ares doesn’t always work out.

rustic vale
#

Merciful end is a strong build on every melee aspect

vague peak
rustic vale
#

doom strike -> athena special -> divine dash -> merciful end dash strike into everything

#

Then aside from that you have hunting blades for achilles spear and ares kinda ends there

runic jungle
vague peak
#

question… do you have the codex upgrade?

runic jungle
#

Also idk what it is but I have been lowkey struggling playing on my switch lately lol
I find it much easier to play with my ps5 controller :/

runic jungle
rustic vale
#

The codex is just like an ingame dictionary/encyclopedia for npc’s enemies and items

#

Pop it open mid run

runic jungle
#

Oh that thing
I mainly used it to check on romance progress lol
I don't really check the other tabs

rustic vale
#

it’s very helpful if you don’t want to have the wiki or the better Hades github open in another tab and don’t know everything about everything you want to know

This is random but is it true that skelly, hades and zag share a voice actor?

Though each of our games is quite different, one thing they have in common is the wonderful voice of Logan Cunningham, who's brought so many of our characters to life. Here's a special message from him, along with a brief look at the different roles he's played!

mint coral

my favorite voice acting of his is from pyre ngl

mint coral
#

Reader! dare you tamper with forbidden knowledge

runic jungle
#

Is pyre also a rogue lite?
I want to play more games like hades bc I like the concept of perma upgrades lol

void vigil
#

No, pyre is described as a party based rpg

runic jungle
#

Hm.
I mean I love rpgs too that's my main genre.
I might play it some day!

void vigil
#

but its more like, it has magic basketball gameplay and a lot of visual novel

mint coral
#

we always need more people

void vigil
#

The whole gimmick is the game or story continue even after you lose, which makes for a very interesting narrative

#

Play pyre pls…

playing pyre is what got me the tech test access trust 💯 /j

What does the aspect of Beowulf do?

#

And what is its downside?

stone rune
#

it makes ur attacks heavier and lets u load flares which pop out after a bull rush

#

downside is +10% damage taken which has never mattered

#

it’s the best aspect in the game

vague rivet
#

How will I take damage from it?

simple marsh
#

200 gems for 1 blood

vague rivet
#

What?

simple marsh
#

i need buy?

vague rivet
#

I'm talking about the aspect of Beowulf

#

How will I take damage from it?

#

You know what I'll just search it up

simple marsh
#

1 titan blood for 200 gems i need buy it?

simple marsh
void vigil
#

its a bad deal, probably shouldnt buy it

#

titan blood is way more valuable than gemstones

#

and beowulf doesnt deal damage to you directly, it makes enemies deal more damage to you

simple marsh
#

ok

#

ty

vague rivet
#

Oh damn

#

Also thank you

#

Okay I think I'll get Beowulf

#

"Enemies dealing 10 more damage". I can take it

void vigil
#

10%

vague rivet
#

It's not that bad right?

#

Anyways how do I unlock it?

I haven't unlock that second aspect yet

And who's gonna tell me the secret words to unlock it?

its also pinned in story discussion

oh, I cant post here images

shame. I jsut got a rare visual glitch

theseus' spear is in the arena still, and I was gonna post the image and be like "oooh, SHINY!"

#

it's normal for that to happen?

mint coral
#

Happens if you kill him while mid throw

#

Also you can use embeds for imgs

#

Post in other discord > copy img link

undone rivet
#

that's annoying.

mint coral
#

You get used to it

undone rivet
#

but at least no spamming that way

#

well, I inicially entered this server to ask somehting

#

you know when you have side hustle to get those extra coins everychamber?

#

well I got a few runs ago the oportunity to see it at heroic rank, after eating ambrosia

#

so it was 19 coins per chamber. but the pool of purging was giv9ng me an imediate 345 ubols if I sold it.

#

and I wondered, "is it worht it to sell it NOW?"

#

I had just left asphodel, so there was still elysium and the styx temple.

what would you have done?

mint coral
#

How much cast you had

#

Cash

undone rivet
#

I think I had a couple hundred? I was realy considering it, that's all I recall. so I must have had either not a lot of cash, or I was jsut intregued.

#

how many chambers are there in hades, at maximum?

#

and from there, how many in tartarus and asphodel, subtract those, multiply by 19 and we get how many coin I can get from the boon

#

I imagine to keep the boon until the end of elysium is best, THEN sell it.

mint coral
#

Without styx is 52 chambers

#

And I don't remember if hustle procs when going to the area between regions

undone rivet
#

I didnt have many rerolls on the pool of purging at the time, so getting tht boon again would be rare. that's the 'why?' of me questiing it.

undone rivet
#

huh, not only side hustle DOES ocur in those rooms, but it happens before the Golden Touch mirror power

mint coral
#

Tbh I'd just keep it

#

Is not like you'll get a replacement hermes boon

#

But if I had underworld customs and the other options were better, to the purging pool it goes

undone rivet
#

yeah, I just calculated.
instead of checking how much money it can get all around, I checked how many chamber it would take to get to 345.
18, 19. not that many, easly doable. thus it would have been a bad idea

#

thanks for the insight

mint coral
#

If the charon well was great and was missing money I think I'd also sell it

#

Or needed quick money for poms

undone rivet
#

or wanted a death defiance

#

I won the run, Athenas regenerative boon came in cluth

vague peak
#

Something I realized a lot is that when you have more skill, most base bosses are fairly easy. And when you’re just starting out again, it feels much more harder.

#

Though, Hades is just a tough game at times. You will die a lot to start with, but you’ll get better the more you play.

#

Obviously it’s not the same for everyone.

#

So, for instance, base Theseus may feel harder in your early attempts… but eventually you’ll see your skill progression improve. And after mastering most of the key strategies, you’ll get through bosses easier. It’s something I really like about the game… is the amount of variety.

#

But I think the most funny part: I didn’t think I would’ve come back to Hades more often than I did with other rogue games.

#

ETG: I come to it when I feel like it.
ROR2: Like the game a lot so I come back to it often.
Hades: almost my daily routine.

undone rivet
#

same, it'sI make 3 or 2 runs a day now, and I have gotten almost everything.

#

I just noticed something, if you are firing rounds of the exagriph, you see the shell on the ground, right? and they disapear each eventually, right?
well, aparently, about half of them disapear at the same time if you decide to launch the special attack.

vague peak
#

Btw… what do you use for playing Hades?

#

Controller, keyboard & mouse, or something else?

#

If you’re on controller, I’d recommend mapping the reload button to one of the shoulder buttons.

#

@undone rivet

undone rivet
#

I use controller

#

I actually prefer to keep reload on the r3. I know it's cursed, but I'm not on habit

vague peak
#

What button is that again?

#

I use an Xbox controller btw.

mint coral
#

right stick press

undone rivet
#

it's pressing on the stick

#

yep

mint coral
#

is the default reload

undone rivet
vague peak
#

Yeah… I remapped that a while ago cuz my thumbs don’t like that position at all xd

#

That’s just personal preference tho.

undone rivet
#

I have another topic in mind, but if you have some thought to finish, please do

#

what is the least used aspect?

vague peak
#

LT is the reload input that i remapped it to :]

undone rivet
#

since I am doing runs based on the dark eminence that increases 20% of gem and darkness drops,

mint coral
#

zag sword prob?

stone rune
#

zagsword is like the default aspect tho

vague peak
undone rivet
#

okay, that is not a default zag. besides, all zag aspect where used at some point for more than 3 or more times

stone rune
#

the least used aspect would be a hidden aspect

mint coral
#

oh yeah

undone rivet
#

I cant imagine someone using the Rama aspect often out of joy

undone rivet
vague peak
undone rivet
#

I guess my question was flawed.

stone rune
#

well rama is good

undone rivet
#

what I mean is, what is an aspect that is negletet, not veyr good, that is not a basic zag aspect?

stone rune
#

well popular coincides very poorly with good

#

chiron is incredibly popular

#

and incredibly awful

#

gilgamesh is a hidden aspect and also the worst aspect in the game so theres that one

undone rivet
#

well, ecept for a dioisis on special build

stone rune
#

nope

#

still awful

undone rivet
#

gilgamesh is my favortie actually!

stone rune
#

that one is real bad

vague peak
#

tbh everyone has a different take and view on this. so it varies; keep that in mind.

stone rune
#

the aspect strengths are not particularly subjective

lavish sorrel
#

Chiron bad unfortunately. that doesn't make it impossible to enjoy, though Dusa . just don't expect to achieve things easily on such bad aspects.

undone rivet
#

the several dashes you get from it, plus the dside slashes being as powerfull as regular punches form the other aspects.
if you have a dash boon on damage, a zeus or dio on the attack, you MELT bosses

stone rune
#

they most certainly are not as powerful

vague peak
#

I particularly like the Demeter fist :>

stone rune
#

i dont think chiron has ever melted a boss actually

#

or gilga

lavish sorrel
stone rune
#

as someone with a moderate amount of experience in the game i simply do not see those two aspects as ever getting decent boss times

vague peak
#

For example, I personally don’t like the Talos Fists.

undone rivet
stone rune
#

mfw the best aspect in the game is good

lavish sorrel
latent moon

its insanely dismissive question

like I said: everyone has a different perspective. can we not make this a huge debate.

undone rivet
#

what kinds of bugs?

#

like, hits several times?

stone rune

it would not need the bugs to be strong

#

it needs the hammer

#

but not bugs

undone rivet
#

let me check that shield right now. a sec...

lavish sorrel
latent moon
undone rivet
#

+100% damage on dragon rage damage and area.

#

that's it? and also the heavy moveset?

latent moon
#

have you played hera before

stone rune
#

are we reading the same text

lavish sorrel
undone rivet
latent moon
lavish sorrel
#

what we're referring to is something different

jagged hamlet
#

Beowulf is legitimately busted

undone rivet
twin thistle
lavish sorrel
#

PoseidonBond ArtemisBond 🟩

latent moon
# undone rivet yeah, I have

beowulf is basically hera but intsead of launching the cast at the end of the arrow, the cast explodes around the end (hence why the casts on it are called "flares" instead of "shots")

latent moon
vague peak
#

@undone rivet you’re still fairly new here right..?

latent moon
#

the cast explosion is good aoe, and since the meta cast is poseidon cast, you have a massive aoe

undone rivet
#

I had mirage shot on a hera runn recently. not very good, since most shots overwent the enemy, and the secondary things didnt do more than a flod area of attack would.

latent moon
#

even without the mirage shot bug tho, aphrodite cast does so much damage that it's extremely strong too

undone rivet
latent moon
latent moon
#

aphro cast also does the most damage (that isn't dio) so it's a pretty perfect synergy

undone rivet
latent moon
#

flood shot on hera does fly by

#

it gets launched out

#

as if you threw it out where the arrow lands

#

but also flood shot doesnt have that much damage

lavish sorrel
#

tbf nitro and I have both experimented with flood shot hera a bit, it's not half bad for heat and is a bit easier to play outside of asphodel imo.

latent moon
#

it's respectable but nowhere close to aphrodite

lavish sorrel
#

but aphro is just better

#

yeah

latent moon
#

aphrodite cast range is pretty abysmal, which is why it works great on hera since it doesnt fly off into the void if you miss

#

it becomes a more usable extension of your arrow rather than like a projectile from your arrow

undone rivet
#

I usualy dont use aphros' shot, since I normaly dont use a shot build to begin with.
jsut recently started using poseidon's, and hera's aspect

latent moon
#

every cast build that isn't on beowulf is a "shot build"

#

cast names that aren't on beowulf are by default "___ shot"

lavish sorrel
#

and on beowulf you have "flare builds" SmugBoi

undone rivet
#

ah

latent moon
#

i guess hera has trippy flare so that's the one exception

undone rivet
#

sorry about that, I knew about "flare"

latent moon
#

oh beam

why does hermes not give me the boon

I dont even recall who told me of beowolf.

beo -> rama -> luci -> whatever i guess lmao

#

generally speaking at least

jagged hamlet
#

jazz is suffering

lavish sorrel

beo is the best aspect in the game, rama is insanely good for heat, luci is good but needs a specific hammer for damage

Also Arthur.

I havent replayed the game.
I mena, I try once in a while to beat first time the run, but the furthest I got was ast and thes on elysium.

so I dont recall some of the original quests and storylines.

latent moon
#

whenever i have time at least

vague peak
undone rivet
#

okay so Ima try out the beowolf, any recomendations?

jagged hamlet
#

jazz unironically would be like "You're Asian, not Bsian!" zaglol

vague peak
latent moon
#

find charged shot hammer, if you can't sudden rush is decent cope

#

so is feriocious guard

#

dash strike into your dragon rushes since it puts down the shield faster

#

you never want to standing strike really

undone rivet
latent moon
#

yeah that basically is what makes beo not clunky

#

it's a lot more fluid

vague peak
undone rivet
#

flood, deadly, mirage. got it

latent moon
#

more or less yeah

#

try not to open up extra duos

#

since mirage shot is the only important thing

undone rivet
#

what do you mena "open up"?

stone rune
#

sneak sitting there teleporting everywhere except behind me like

undone rivet
#

as in, try not to get duo bons from eneyone else?

latent moon
#

so dont take aphrodite attack lmao

#

so you dont "open up" other duos

vague peak
lavish sorrel
#

taking certain core-boons from certain gods will allow you to get certain duos. your goal is to not have that happen with anything other than mirage shot

latent moon
#

can always check codex prereqs to make sure

stone rune
#

trying to reset

#

get fountain

undone rivet
#

and here I though any duo boon is a good boon, even if just to sell later

stone rune
#

nope

#

unshakable mettle:

undone rivet
#

thank you for the advice @latent moon and everyone

latent moon
#

so ideally it'd be like

#

mirage shot and then you find unshakable mettle afterwards lmao

#

then sell mettle if you can or whatever

#

or just keep it bc it's funny

undone rivet
#

coicidentaly, I got mirage shot on a run jsut before tartarus ended. hope for that luck again

just get the boons™️
