No

latent moon
#

3rd rail aspect

rustic vale
#

big timesave with no questions asked, unlike shadow presence

latent moon
#

backstab on most things is also hot garbage lmao
for a lot of stuff, that first hit is way stronger
the first hit is also more consistent than a backstab

#

like hestia, which we just mentioned

twin thistle
#

Playing h2 makes me miss dark foresight bouldy

latent moon
#

it really does

#

rip dark foresight, you will be missed

reef zodiac
#

I almost wanted to make a suggestion for them to add a dark foresight

stoic summit
#

but its only on the first hit right? after the first hit they become damaged? am i tripping? maybe you guys are looking at it from a persepctive of higher skill idk

rustic vale
#

Guys playing RI2 makes me miss dark foresight

reef zodiac
#

You know it often only takes one hit

#

They can’t be damaged if they’re dead

twin thistle
#

Fiery presence lets you oneshot a lot of tart enemies more easily

stoic summit
#

only tart enemies?

twin thistle
#

Which is a pretty big time save for speedruns and heat

rustic vale
#

it’s a speed and somewhat a heat thing for most aspects

stoic summit
#

what about bosses

latent moon
#

the backstab is really only relevant against bosses, and even then you're not really aiming for backstabs most of the time

rustic vale
reef zodiac
stoic summit
#

theseus

latent moon
#

and the backstab on most weapons aren't really relevant to begin with

twin thistle
#

+50% additive backstab damage is not a lot for most weps/aspects

rustic vale
#

shadow presence is too picky and not enough damage to warrant it over the timesave of oneshotting a ton more enemies

stoic summit
#

but +75% one time is?

#

ah okay i see i see

reef zodiac
#

Yes because it’s every time

#

First time every time

latent moon
#

the only aspects that would care about backstab would be like rama, zagbow, cshot, and hestia
and even then you'd rather take fiery bc it decimates normal rooms

rustic vale
#

It’s like hydraulic might

stoic summit
#

ight ight ill use this new mirror set up to beat 16 heat fr fr

rustic vale
#

Which is useful because it’s active for the most crucial part of every room, and the part of every room you’ll always see tizomg

twin thistle
stoic summit
#

um...no

reef zodiac
stoic summit
#

wait so whats better ruthless reflex or the other one?

twin thistle
#

Well tart times are valued a lot more at higher levels of play

rustic vale
twin thistle
#

Greater in like 95% of cases

stoic summit
#

i thought so

rustic vale
latent moon
reef zodiac
#

Like if I do ME sword or fists, I do DC2

latent moon
reef zodiac
#

So I just run shadow

rustic vale
latent moon
#

that's fair

#

but i dont use sword or fists on high heat so idrk lmao

reef zodiac
#

Or Eris, Luci, Chiron

rustic vale
reef zodiac
latent moon
#

i've only done 40 on those and i think in only did dc2 on fists? but i was too lazy to switch from fiery to shadow lmao

reef zodiac
rustic vale
#

I forgot to switch from fiery to shadow for my zag rail run but

#

I doubt it would’ve made a difference

reef zodiac
stoic summit
#

what should i do for 16 heat? everytime ive tried i die and its mad annoying, usually to hades

latent moon
#

true

rustic vale
twin thistle
#

What have you been trying with

rustic vale
#

and do you have any of the speed dibilitating pacts on (jury summons, calisthenics program, damage control)

stoic summit
#

i have a 0 heat rnm not sure whats best

reef zodiac
#

Also are you using EM4, Routine Inspection, or Approval Process

stoic summit
#

sword, or spear or fists or bow generally

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

just trying to do the easiest or safest or most guaranteed 16 heat

#

well ive done 8

#

maybe a littler higher but ive just been getting darkness because i keep dyihng at higher heats

reef zodiac
#

At 16 you will be fine with anything, but if you want a suggestion for a strong easy weapon, I suggest Hestia

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

yeah, darkness

#

right...?

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

um...

#

like for getting darkness

#

i dont need heat

rustic vale
#

Yeah

stoic summit
#

right?

#

yeah

#

fr

rustic vale
#

I mean

twin thistle
#

Well you kinda want titan blood

rustic vale
#

I’d recommend 10 heat for darkness farming but that’s an unrelated story

#

not the task at hand

stoic summit
#

i mean yeah but ive gotten a bit and i kept dying...

#

i want the stupid skelly statue

rustic vale
#

Which aspects are you using most

stoic summit
#

sword, first one

rustic vale
#

oh.

#

that

stoic summit
#

...

rustic vale
#

explains a bit bouldy

twin thistle
#

Uh are you using the sword standing combo

rustic vale
#

… indeed

stoic summit
#

what should i be using...

twin thistle
#

The dash strike

rustic vale
#

Dash strike like crazy

#

Like most weapons in Hades

reef zodiac
#

The best combo is special -> dash strike -> dash strike

stoic summit
#

?

#

im confused

rustic vale
#

Unananas

stoic summit
#

yeah dash strike

rustic vale
#

You have that clip from the other day?

stoic summit
#

can sword not dash strike or smth?

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

so i shouldnt use sword?

rustic vale
#

And it’s what you want to be using

twin thistle
reef zodiac
rustic vale
stoic summit
#

yeah im dash striking

#

what did i say to imply i wasnt?

rustic vale
#

Yeah you want to be dash striking for all your hits and just avoid the standing combo

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

wait

#

when i said first one did you guys think i meant first attack with the sword?

rustic vale
#

this made it sound like “yes I do use standing strike what should I ve using instead”

stoic summit
#

no i meant like in the reveal aspects thing

#

oh lol

#

so im just trash

rustic vale
#

which is why we said dash striking

#

the sword aspects, you should be using nem

#

The one with crit chance

stoic summit
#

okay bet, i dont have that upgraded at all should i buy titan blood?

twin thistle
#

Just do lower heats

rustic vale
#

also

#

fill out your lower heat bounties

twin thistle
#

If you like bow could start with zag bow since its cheap to max

rustic vale
#

get the easier titan blood

stoic summit
#

blade is at 7 rn is that bad?

rustic vale
#

7 as in you’ve cleared 0, 1-7 with it?

stoic summit
#

i think so, i need 7 heat to get bountikes

rustic vale
#

Or 7 as in yiu skipped up to

#

Ok

stoic summit
#

if i skip do i lose bounties?

rustic vale
#

I was asking given you were planning on reaching straight to 16

#

No you just make it harder on yourself

stoic summit
#

oh okay

rustic vale
#

since you did a 7 heat bounty with 16 heat

stoic summit
#

should i work all the way up? thats like mad work ngl

rustic vale
#

Anyways have you gotten blood from other weapons up to the same~range heats?

stoic summit
#

i have 3 weapons at 3 i think, shield, rail and something else, and then the other lowest was 6

rustic vale
#

You either get that titan blood easily at lowest heat required or you choose to get it at harder heats for who knows why or you just don’t get it if ykwim

stoic summit
#

wait im confused lets say i need 3 heat to get the bounties but i do 4 heat, do i lose the ability to get the bounty from 3 heat and therfore lose it?

rustic vale
#

no you get the bounties for 3 heat

#

So

#

There wasn’t any real point to it being 4 heat

#

aside from making the game harder

stoic summit
#

bounties?

rustic vale
#

the resources

#

blood diamonds ambrosia

stoic summit
#

this is saying i dont need any heat for the rail, ive beaten it with rail though

rustic vale
#

You cannot skip past heat levels

stoic summit
#

wait nvm

twin thistle
rustic vale
#

Heat 0 is different and doesn’t count but

stoic summit
#

i havent beaten it with 0 heat before lol

#

or have i? im confused

rustic vale
#

because I was worried I’d confuse you

stoic summit
#

okay i think i understand

#

so ambrosia is harder to get than titan blood so instead of buying titan blood i should just do bounties expecally since ill do them eventually

rustic vale
#

for everything beyond 0 heat, you always get bounties for the lowest heat you haven’t cleared, regardless of how much heat you run

stoic summit
#

oh okay

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

i kinda just want to do 16 heat though...

#

i can win...

rustic vale
#

I guess but part of that means we want to set you up with the strongest head start

stoic summit
#

how would one go about doing that without doing escape attempts?

twin thistle
#

Uh what aspects do you have leveled

#

Also how much of the mirror do you have unlocked

rustic vale
#

which probably just means, take your favourite/best weapon, level up as high as you can it’s best (or one of it’s best) aspects, and then get a build and go

stoic summit
#

full mirror, kinda random aspects leveled

rustic vale
#

build being (mirror, heat pact, boons you’lk be getting, hammers, keepsakes)

stoic summit
#

(basically full mirror)

#

okay so nem sword

#

i got my mirror situated

#

how should i do the pact?

twin thistle
#

How fast are your clears usually

rustic vale
#

(in game time)

stoic summit
#

uh like idk 25 minutes on a slow one

#

(it only shows one time?)

rustic vale
#

yeah but the clock stops as real life passes on so

#

I wanted to clairify

stoic summit
#

kk

rustic vale
#

You can easily run tight deadline 2 for 3 heat

stoic summit
#

yeah i saw on a screenshot 2 timers so i thought that was supposed to me normal

#

but for 16 heat?

rustic vale
#

I’m going

#

Pact by pact here

stoic summit
#

oh okay

rustic vale
#

That’s a way easier way to recommend it tizomg than what I was about to do

tepid plover
#

Em3 really is free heat

rustic vale
#

I mean tbf

stoic summit
#

yeah...for sure

#

ight ill run this and beat it easy

#

should i use acorn?

tepid plover
#

Yes

rustic vale
#

em3 is the least evil here

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

i only have skelly companion

twin thistle
#

Switch to acorn biome 3 and keep it for 4

tepid plover
#

Outside of em4, accorn is goated

stoic summit
#

okay what should i start with?

latent moon
#

acorn is still good in em4

twin thistle
#

Just dont get bballed bouldy

#

Or sneked

stoic summit
#

spearpoint?

latent moon
#

start with aphrodite

#

get her attack

rustic vale
tepid plover
#

I don't like it. Both ball and doomstone can delete it

rustic vale
#

Here being aphrodite

latent moon
#

or her special if you get cringed out of it at the start

tepid plover
twin thistle
#

In general you use two god keepsakes for tart and aspho

tepid plover
#

Certainly not spearpoint lol

stoic summit
#

okay ares seems like a good choice?

rustic vale
#

The most useful thing you can give yourself is the two most important gods for your aspect/buid-

twin thistle
#

Ares is good if you want to do ME but otherwise aphro for heartrend/smouldering air

tepid plover
twin thistle
#

Yeah

stoic summit
#

whats ME

twin thistle
#

Merciful end

stoic summit
#

ah fr

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

what if i dont get the aprodite boons i need?

tepid plover
#

Then reroll

stoic summit
#

what if i still dont get it?

rustic vale
twin thistle
#

If rerolling doesnt get you her attack then you can go for her special

tepid plover
#

Then you don't, and make do

stoic summit
#

i got deadelus hammer...

rustic vale
#

Cool

#

Take it

twin thistle
#

What it giving

rustic vale
#

You’ll see aphrodite later

stoic summit
#

cursed slash, breaching slash, world spliter

rustic vale
#

she’s forced in thanks to your keepsake

rustic vale
#

Breaching slash

stoic summit
#

...

rustic vale
#

That’s a sad hammer bouldy

#

I mean breaching is good

stoic summit
#

should i take chaos?

rustic vale
#

Yes

twin thistle
#

Ye

tepid plover
#

Sometimes the game doesn't give you the stuff you want, it happens, you just gotta adapt, I'd know about that 2x

stoic summit
#

i thought so, can his boons be garbage?

twin thistle
#

Yeah but they can also carry your run

rustic vale
stone rune
#

generally though you can manipulate what you get to be in your favor

tepid plover
#

Chaos often times is more good than bad

stoic summit
#

these suck...

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

slothful shot

rustic vale
#

Nope

stoic summit
#

slippery eclipse

rustic vale
#

eh

stoic summit
#

caustic soul

#

...

rustic vale
#

Dang that’s unfortunate

twin thistle
#

What was caustic

tepid plover
#

Soul is alright

rustic vale
#

This is why we use fated persuasion

stoic summit
#

inferno bomb thows

#

for 34 plus health

#

4 encounters

twin thistle
#

Yeah just do that and dont get hit bouldy

stoic summit
#

i have one reroll

rustic vale
tepid plover
#

Inferno bombs are literally free, they don't even go for you most of the time

stoic summit
#

so i shouldnt re-roll?

twin thistle
#

Yeah sword is mobile if youre dash striking

#

Yeah just take caustic soul

stoic summit
#

ight bet

tepid plover
#

Hp is never bad

rustic vale
#

It’d be really nice to get a strike or dash strike boon but caustic soul is kinda just value so

tepid plover
#

Do you want dmg? Of course, but can't go wrong with hp

rustic vale
#

don’t go throwing away silver for fake gold

stoic summit
#

okay what am i looking for aprodite?

rustic vale
#

guys this is why I don’t write sayings

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

attack that deals weak?

#

inflicts*

tepid plover
#

Go back to posting gifs shackle, tell me why dash strike bow is superior

rustic vale
stone rune
#

S{

tepid plover
#

Aphro has the highest scaling dmg %

stoic summit
#

it has no rarity bruh

rustic vale
#

Don’t worry about it

tepid plover
#

Rarity is a bait

rustic vale
#

50% is 50%

latent moon
#

common aphro attak is better than rare athena and demeter lmao

tepid plover
#

Shackle understood (probaly) don't worry

rustic vale
#

Anyways this is why we run god’s pride

rustic vale
#

For something else

tepid plover
stone rune
#

idk anything anymore

stoic summit
#

isnt zues good?

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

better than charon?

rustic vale
#

Hope for his call

tepid plover
#

Oh as in room

stoic summit
#

bruh annoying 2 big fat inferno bomb throwing mini boss bozos

latent moon
#

take the shop so you dont have to do a combat lmao

twin thistle
#

Well they're doing td2

tepid plover
#

Shops = free time for td2

rustic vale
#

~ idk tbh I’d probably take the zeus just to guarantee him in pool

twin thistle
#

So its fine to do a tart combat room

tepid plover
#

True

rustic vale
#

It’s not a speedrun so

stone rune
#

combats are annoying

stoic summit
#

actually they got cooked with breaching slash nice

#

zeus aid good?

twin thistle
#

Very

rustic vale
latent moon
#

smair time dusa

stoic summit
#

nice

rustic vale
#

spam it as soon as you have a 25% call

#

and reminder

#

Full calls are a scam

stoic summit
#

really?

#

i always thought it was better

twin thistle
#

Full zeus/dio call is a waste

rustic vale
jagged hamlet
#

Plus it's hard to charge to full in most rooms

rustic vale
#

And most rooms you’re getting no where near 100%

jagged hamlet
#

Plus iframes

twin thistle
#

Half your bolts will miss or hit during an invince phase if you do full aid

rustic vale
#

Dionysus, hangover caps at 5 (8)

#

And the minicall hits 6 times

#

you don’t need a full call for max value in 95% of cases

stoic summit
#

should i level up aprhodite or zeus aid or does it not really matter over the whole run since ill get more poms

rustic vale
#

It’s more relevant rn

#

Remember to factor in diminishing pom returns though

twin thistle
#

Put like 2 poms in attack before you start pomming aid

stoic summit
#

diminishing returns? is that like where it barely levels it up after a certain amount of levels?

twin thistle
#

Yeah

stone rune
#

zeus call gets 1 pom max

stoic summit
#

urge to kill good for ares? i got blade dash and slicing shot for the other ones

stone rune
#

urge to grill

#

its not good

#

this is sword right

#

take blade dash

stoic summit
#

yes

rustic vale
stone rune
#

all of them do

rustic vale
#

that’s a made up number most of them do

stoic summit
#

is posiedon good? should i buy him in charon shop?

stone rune
#

not if you already have blade dash

#

if you didnt have blade dash id say to buy pos for tdash

latent moon
#

well considering you cant get his dash anymore pos sucks lmao

rustic vale
#

posiedon in this specific context with your specific boons and gods? No

stoic summit
#

alright im at meg fight

latent moon
#

just win

stoic summit
#

wait really?

rustic vale
#

“Meg fight” bouldy

stoic summit
#

oh i thought i was supposed to die

pliant meadow
#

Does Than appear more often after reaching max heart?

#

Appeared every run since then

stoic summit
#

beat meg, easy

#

should i switch keepsake?

jagged hamlet
stoic summit
#

not yet, bro still hates me

rustic vale
#

No reason to keep aphrodites

latent moon
#

switch to zeus for smair/jolted

rustic vale
#

You have aphrodite, zeus, and ares in your god pool?

#

Or is there one more

stoic summit
#

yes

#

#

So no

stoic summit
#

so i should havge gotten poisedon you bozos

rustic vale
tepid plover
#

Yeah bozos

rustic vale
jagged hamlet
#

Bozos!

latent moon
#

the only thing buying pos would do is add him to the pool which is fine i guess but eh

stoic summit
#

kk cool cool

#

these stupid jumping enemies are mad annoying

latent moon
#

blade dash is still like good but you dont technically need it

tepid plover
#

Welcome to aspho

#

Xd

stoic summit
#

whats the other good zeus boon i should try to get?

tepid plover
#

Jolted

latent moon
#

yeah jolted

#

if you get the duo for smoldering air take that first tho lmao

twin thistle
#

Also double strike

#

then get splitting bolt

latent moon
#

lmao true

jagged hamlet
#

I so wish we had all the keepsake chibis as emojis

stoic summit
#

i got smoldering air, nice

tepid plover
#

I keep forgetting jolted boon name is not actually jolted, and I kid you not, i don't know the name

latent moon
#

gamer

twin thistle
#

Welp free win time

stoic summit
#

i also got static discharge as an option

#

twin thistle
#

Man actually getting everything

stoic summit
#

smoldering air better?

tepid plover
#

Yes

twin thistle
#

Get smouldering

jagged hamlet
#

Bananas literally just said zagsad

stoic summit
#

i have an option for athena or zeus should i go for zues for jolted thing

twin thistle
#

Jolted will reappear a lot more easily and is not as useful without smouldering

#

Yeah go zeus

stoic summit
#

ugh stupid boat, i swear if i get the stupid fat crystal im gonna die

runic jungle
#

Is ruptured boon worth it bc I'm ngl it seems a tad bit useless compared to Chill and Jolted

rustic vale
twin thistle
#

Razor shoals? Very good boon

latent moon
#

it's not as good as jolted but it's still good yeah

stoic summit
#

wait it wasnt even bad...

rustic vale
#

razor shoals is decent where static discharge is bonkers

stoic summit
#

ayy i got static discharge

latent moon
#

razor shoals can do a lot of damage lmao

#

even if it only procs once, that's still like half a tdash

tepid plover
#

It will always be there

stoic summit
#

not usually...

latent moon
#

depends on the pact

stoic summit
#

wait on higher heat

latent moon
#

if you take middle management or not

tepid plover
#

With the pact thing it does

twin thistle
#

Its always there with middle management

stoic summit
#

oh okay, im mad glad i had breaching slash

latent moon
#

oh yeah breaching slash good for mm barge too

jagged hamlet
#

Razor Shoals vs Elysium's huh huh enemies

tepid plover
#

NOT THE HUH HUH ENEMIES

stoic summit
#

what should i pick for eurydice?

rustic vale
tepid plover
#

Nectar

latent moon
#

yeah prob refreshing nectar and hope to get actual good hermes lmao

twin thistle
#

They already have everything though bouldy ig there hermes

latent moon
#

yeah take it for hermes

#

i was gonna say poms but i forgot about hermes lmao

twin thistle
#

Watch them get epic rd

stoic summit
#

heh lol the loot or whatever for the room after is nectar

latent moon
#

they also need a fodder boon for uc i think

tepid plover
#

Heh

latent moon
#

bc it looks like they only have aphro atk, zeus call, smair, and jolted

runic jungle
#

I hope I can get razor shoals when doing one of those challenge things.
Forgot the name of it but it costs like 5 heat to do the challenge.
Is it always gonna be the same task or does it change?

rustic vale
rustic vale
tepid plover
#

Oh erebus

tepid plover
#

Yeha no hit rooms

runic jungle
#

Do you only get one chance per run for erebus rooms or can they appear in different areas

stoic summit
#

what am i looking for with hermes?

tepid plover
#

They reappear all over

rustic vale
tepid plover
#

5 in tart, 10 in aspho, 15 in elysium

runic jungle
tepid plover
#

Xd

rustic vale
jagged hamlet
#

Butterfly Ball Erebus onion

stoic summit
#

uh.. can i get all of those?

tepid plover
#

No

rustic vale
tepid plover
#

Only 2

twin thistle
#

Like 2 of them

#

Maybe 3 if hermes in styx shop

stoic summit
#

i got epic hyper sprint

twin thistle
#

Grab that

rustic vale
#

You can only get 2 hermes boons but that’s your list of priorities

tepid plover
#

In regular rooms that is

twin thistle
#

Btw do you have any uc fodder bouldy

stoic summit
#

do i have a reason to grab artimes from charon shop?

twin thistle
#

Uc fodder yes

tepid plover
#

Yes

#

To sell

rustic vale
#

Yeah

#

It’s also

#

Nrm

#

Nemesis

#

So you’ll want her in pool eithbaphro

stoic summit
#

dang epic hunter dash seems kinda good though

twin thistle
#

Heartrend or rod also

rustic vale
#

For crit

rustic vale
#

use it for now, hope to find a better boon to sell,

runic jungle
#

Are the only rewards for erebus challenges the boons that are offered?
I had a dio reward last time.
If there's nothing extra I think I regret spending those diamonds lol

rustic vale
#

hammers are kinda dumb because nothing changes about them

#

Every other miniboss reward is somewhat boosted

stoic summit
#

bro this zeus aid is mad good

rustic vale
#

They could at least give erebus hammers a 4th option or something

stoic summit
rustic vale
#

That might actually make it worth it to take erebus

rustic vale
#

Well

#

140 obols unless you have something less bad to sell

stoic summit
#

obols?

rustic vale
#

Either way with artemus in pool you’ll be getting the crit support boons for your nem strike

twin thistle
#

Gold

stoic summit
#

epic hyper sprint...

jagged hamlet
#

Guy needs to pay more attention zaglol

stoic summit
#

i should sell that?

#

i can re-roll?

rustic vale
#

I wouldb’t plan on it

#

What are the three options

stoic summit
#

jolted...

#

and smoldering air...

rustic vale
#

What rarity and level of jolted

stoic summit
#

(static discharge)

#

epic...

rustic vale
#

Status effect boons are favoured by the game

#

So

tepid plover
rustic vale
#

If you sell it odds are you’ll see it sooner than any other zeus boon

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

so i should sell jolted

tepid plover
#

I believe you don't worry

#

Just never seen one myself

stoic summit
#

i would be surprised if he was crazy lol

rustic vale
#

Selling epic jolted is very painful but

sighhhhhhhhhhhh

tepid plover

I trust shackle with every inch of my body, he said pressure points work on hangover and I'm dying on that hill

rustic vale
#

You are literally more likely to get a second jolted than any other supporting zeus boon

stoic summit
#

i never said crazy was a bad thing, should i switch keepsake or keep at zeus, that makes sense to keep

tepid plover
#

Never keep God keepsakes lol

not for elesyum?

I have been way too mean to Artemis ngl
Crit chances are op asf.
The only thing about her I don't like is the support fire one
Depending on the weapon it really doesn't do much lol

tepid plover

Don't trust me

#

Wait for shackle

#

I'm not as good as him

rustic vale
#

Haha I was about to say I’d take zeus since the game tries to give you hammers but the idea of double edge or piercing wave here is tantalising

#

I’m also

stoic summit
#

well im in the hammer boons, they better be good 🙂

Gojng to need to site a source on the game trying to give you hammers

Double nova vs hoarding slash is a tough one because they’re both ~

I mean

stoic summit

nah flurry slash is the best in the game right...

its 2nd hermes

ill get hermes styx easy trust fr fr

You don’t have rush delivery, greater haste isn’t boosting your damage

stoic summit

oh yeah, easy dash pick then

rustic vale
#

it could’ve been a funny play to bank on getting rush delivery in styx because

stoic summit
#

i shouldve done it

rustic vale
#

180% bonus speed is massive for any rarity rush delivery

rustic vale
#

You don’t bank on a 50:50 to even get 3 options from Hermes

is that what you were talking about with hermes in styx?

tepid plover
#

Yes

rustic vale
#

Yes

stoic summit
#

its mad expensive

rustic vale
#

It’s a 50:50 between him and the anvik

rustic vale
tepid plover
#

You can't get a 3rd Hermes any other way so

stoic summit
#

why not?

tepid plover
#

Cause the game says no

latent moon
#

also that hermes is nearly guaranteed to not give commons

rustic vale
#

the only place you can get a third hermes boon is

#

styx

old bluff
#

Bag zagsad

tepid plover
#

Once you have 2 you won't get offered any more Hermes from rooms

#

Only styx shop

rustic vale
# tepid plover It is free

It’s opportunity cost on most weapons to not be able to hit the dash button a second time and immediately double their dps for just +50% additive iykwim tizomg it’s not purely a matter of needing a second dash for dodging but rather for dps on most aspects

stoic summit
#

so what am i looking for with hermes?

rustic vale
#

I assume you already know that and are willingly playing the fool but

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

my bad my bad, second wind seems good though

rustic vale
#

It gives you global additive based on your extra movement speed

old bluff
#

RD is always a correct answer

rustic vale
#

So hypersprint which doubles your movement speed

#

100% times whatever the Hermes boon is worth

oblique willow
#

whats the strat for getting out with coronacht and/or exagryph? still trying to complete that prophecy

stoic summit
#

oh dang, its only rare though

rustic vale
stoic summit
#

obviously greater evasion is the better pick then because its epic

#

im joking im joking

rustic vale
#

Rush delivery is better than 95% of hermes boons at common

#

even if the rest of his boons are heroic

old bluff
stoic summit
#

whats rush delivery at heroic?

rustic vale
#

125%

old bluff
#

125%

rustic vale
#

50% +25% per rarity level

old bluff
#

The only way to get it is to get natty epic RD into a eury ambrosia

rustic vale
#

is the rarity scaling for rush delivery

stoic summit
#

can a ares boon help me significantly in the hades fight or should i just buy another pom?

rustic vale

pom

You can easily roid any boon you want with eury

Solution: don't play 32 heat. Hope this helps!

it'll really boost your damage

the best "builds" are often just 1-2 boons

and whatever scaling you want

It still goes hard

fervent radish

10% movespeed is already halfway to a common greater haste

don't count it out

rustic vale

10% movespeed doesn’t sound like a lot till you remember it’s all multiplicative

hyper+epic RD and 10% goes up to 20%

yep

tepid plover

Is that 10?

latent moon

yeah

#

em2 fo2 is 9, td1 makes 10

tepid plover
#

Damn fo2 is 6 heat?

latent moon
#

granted fo2 is kinda painful if you're not used to it so maybe do fo1 lmao

#

yeah 3 each rank

#

once you learn it, it's 6 "free" heat

#

so it's really solid if you want to get into high heat

#

but otherwise there's very little reason to learn it

#

maybe like fo1 for 32 heat but that's like it

tepid plover

I'm sad my 32 heat clear didn't save cause of mods 😪

It's okay you'll respawn, say hi to hypnos for me

Pressure points says +2% chance to do critical, with critical being +200% damage. +200% means x 3. Doing 3x damage on 2 out of every 100 shots is not a significant amount of damage. Am I wrong?

One pom makes PP 50% better 👀

it also opens up hunter's mark, which is what you want
