50 heat is high heat

fervent radish
#

and then I think i found hestia easy enough that i wanted to push 40

#

my first 50 was....zeus?

stiff obsidian
#

ok so u were the last person to start high heat

mint coral
#

I did 50 long after y'all pretty sure

fervent radish
#

that was after i joined old speedcord

fervent radish
#

well i think alex might have actually done 50 after me

old bluff
#

I did 50 at one point

fervent radish
#

but i'm not sure

In like April

#

i remember this run

#

i had to sell rd

#

and hypersprit

twilit lodge
#

I asked my btd6 friend best towers and this is what they said

#

but IMO the most useful is a 205 mermonkey, 024 glue gunner, 401 alchemist, 204 boomerang, 024 cannon

#

Literally incomprehensible

#

Actually I guess it’s not too bad

stiff obsidian
#

besides relentless and stim i think they are just wrong

#

and stim isnt even used anymore iirc

#

u just stop at bbrew

#

My first 50 was on beo and it took like 8 attempts lmao

mint coral
latent moon
#

8 attempts after clearing 40 for the first time

stiff obsidian
#

i did 45 first iirc

fervent radish
#

I remember first 50 being a struggle because I jumped from 32 on Zeus

mint coral
#

I did 45 em4

latent moon
#

my 50 journey was
get sub9 -> do 32 heat nearly deathless -> 2 attempts at 40 -> 8 attempts at 50, with only the last attempt not having em4 and clearing

#

i must've been on drugs or something back then jesus

Tree49620 moment

hazy path
#

Just clarify, boons that charge up god gauges suck right?

stone rune
#

wdym

#

the artemis one for crits cahrge call or whatever is garbage

#

smoldering air is good

mint coral
#

Quick favor is ok, smair is busted
If you mean the other zeus one or pos they are so so

hazy path
#

I ran smoldering air + quick favor and the gauge just straight up stopped moving the entire game.

stone rune
#

the hermes one is ok at heat

mint coral
#

Hunter instinct is sad

stone rune
#

quick favor is redundant with smair

hazy path
#

Oh then quick favor wasn’t the issue? Since smoldering air caps at 25 that means you can’t use greater call anymore?

stone rune
#

you dont really want to use greater calls

#

like ever

hazy path
#

Ah. I guess aphro nuke made me thought it was essential in boss fights. I was playing the wrong way.

stone rune
#

aph and artemis calls are only useful at greater calls

mint coral
#

Aphro lesser call spam is still fun

stone rune
#

but those calls are bad

#

the good calls are good with small calls

twilit lodge
#

Proud bearing is pretty good

stone rune
#

zeus, dio

#

peebers is good

twilit lodge
#

Aphro small call spam makes dad very safe, good for runs that aren’t coming together

hazy path
#

Alright I’ll start using lesser calls now. Any tips for clearing HS? Hades vases pretty much cooked me lol.

#

*dad

stone rune
#

dont get hit by the vases

twilit lodge
#

Turn off HS

#

And pop them at range

stone rune
#

the real solution is to instaphase him

hazy path
#

In a heat run I know it’s not recommended. I was doing the fates thing

mint coral
#

Are you doing HS for the prophecy, ah yeah

hazy path
#

Yeah

mint coral
#

Idk play hestia or something

twilit lodge
#

Just pop a few where you’re fighting him

mint coral
#

Snipe his ass

twilit lodge
#

Or have a cracked build

#

Just cook

mint coral
#

Or roll for the athena boon

twilit lodge
#

Ez

mint coral
#

Whatever is called

#

Sure footing

twilit lodge
#

Sure footing carry

hazy path
#

I’ll try hestia. My index finger is going to hate me lmao

twilit lodge
#

For Hestia try remapping reload to left bumper

mint coral
#

If you have beo you can prob nuke his ass before pots are an actual threat

hazy path
twilit lodge
#

Lowers trap damage yeah

hazy path
#

Oh yeahh

twilit lodge
#

In general it’s terrible

stone rune
#

no its not

#

its nonpommable

twilit lodge
#

But if you’re running HS, it has value

stone rune
#

free money

#

no detriment

That's from jazz actually lol

ooh

Oh nvm, the one I linked I think is not

Ima practice beo today honestly. The windup I need to get used to

fervent radish
stiff obsidian
#

i love high confidence past ely

#

i mean sure footing

#

oops

hazy path
#

For weapons like Rail and Fists, do you guys ever remove the attack at cursor option?

latent moon
#

rail yes, fists no

#

i guess there might be an argument for fists actually

#

i've just never seen anyone use or talk about it

stone rune
#

nope

#

sounds terrible

latent moon
#

eh i dont think it's that bad

hazy path
stone rune
#

you need precise aim because fists has aoe

latent moon
#

i guess

hazy path
#

yeah AOE makes sense. I’m just bad at aiming it since the gameplay is dash near at fast as possible and deal quick damage

#

Plus long knuckle with the cursor off looks safe on paper somewhat.

fervent radish

#

Hestia saved my life. I no longer have any reason to run HS anymore dusa

But but 64 heat

fervent radish
#

^^^

stiff obsidian
#

why do only 7.6% of players have 2nd skelly statue

#

do hades players suck that much

latent moon
#

some dont play after the first clear

#

or they jsut dont play the game after buying it lmao

stiff obsidian
#

still way too low compared to other games

#

i think most people such too much to get a first clear

latent moon
#

well maybe they just play until 10th clear lmao

stiff obsidian
#

maybe they suck

pure oasis
#

Hi i just finished playing like 10 times and reached the surface. Am I just like done? Or am I expected to play for ever

#

also lowkey got emotional at the boat ride

jagged hamlet
#

There's an epilogue. You probably also haven't completed all the little character stories

pure oasis
#

ok thanks

stiff obsidian
#

bump the 7.6% number please and thanks

twilit lodge
latent moon
#

Make 400 more steam accounts to buy hades on and get the achievement on all of them

twilit lodge
#

It’s cheap and it’s popular

#

Stands to reason a lot of people bought it but didn’t get far in it

latent moon
#

Play it a few times and didn't like the gameplay lmao

twilit lodge
#

Or game hard

jagged hamlet
#

"Why do I keep having to play from the start?", probably

twilit lodge
#

Is there an achieve for first dad?

#

Compare those two

void vigil
twilit lodge
void vigil
#

But some people are simply not interested in achievements or difficulty

old bluff
#

Some people play for fun

pure oasis
#

yeah I’m lowkey playing for the story but the button mashing is fun

twilit lodge
#

Maybe I’m Switchpilled but the skelly statues are something I went for because it’s “in game completion” over it being an achievement

#

Plus anything that gives new dialogue is “story” enough for me to pursue

#

Especially in a game as well voiced as hades

mint coral
#

Is gonna get ap'd

jagged hamlet
#

Does anybody feel like zaggrin plus 👀 would be the best emote ever?

stiff obsidian
hoary pebble
#

Welp I couldn’t get the aspect of Beowulf today

#

The dialogue from chaos didn’t want to appear

#

Any tips?

twilit lodge
#

Visit chaos a lot

#

With the shield equipped

#

You may have already received it and forgotten

#

So make sure you’ve also spent 5 blood on shield aspects

hoary pebble
#

Ok Ty

twilit lodge
#

I assume you’ve already spoken the waking phrase to the spear?

hoary pebble
#

I looked on the wiki but I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right

#

Unlocking Beowulf I mean

topaz cobalt
#

does the amount of darkness you get from bosses depend on the heat level or is it the same at heat 0?

fervent radish
#

same

topaz cobalt
#

ok thanks

fervent radish
#

i wish it scaled with heat lmao

topaz cobalt
#

yeah i saw a video where somebody was getting more than i do so i thought it might

#

they must have something i don't

jagged hamlet
#

Best we can do is more darkness/time via FO2 and TD1

#

Always helps to get buffs from Chaos and Poseidon too

topaz cobalt
#

what's FO2 and TD1

fervent radish
#

forced overtime and tight deadline 1

#

FO makes enemies spawn/move quicker and tight deadline 1 stops survival rooms, which waste 45 seconds

stiff obsidian
#

bouldy companion gives darkness

#

sisyphus can give u darkness

fervent radish
#

meg honestly probably more value though

#

since it makes the game itself go faster

stiff obsidian
#

meg gives you 0 darkness

fervent radish
#

2500 damage

#

doesn't bouldy give 100 darkness total

stiff obsidian
#

idk

#

never used it

fervent radish
#

🗿

#

maybe we should be using dusa for em4

#

freezes bball or something idk

twilit lodge
#

Popular darkness farming strategy is Poseidon start, hope for epic ocean’s bounty or whatever the bonus dark/gold one is, chaos darkness bonuses, and use bouldy companion

#

Can get a couple thousand darkness total with any luck

#

And since you’re getting darkness from bosses instead of bounties, you can use dark regeneration and be comfy even if your build suffers due to chasing the darkness bonuses

sleek cliff

smh

#

ive been so em2 pilled that regular arena looks so wack

latent moon
#

that's so real

i keep forgetting how massive normal lernie arena is

i had that when i tried ff a while ago

and you know what's better than em3

em2

old bluff
tepid light

em4 best modifier

#

if you don't use em4 you a weak gamer

snow saddle
#

EM3 is hilarious

#

Theseus is just so excited.

topaz cobalt
#

The one time i feel like i have a good build and im excited to try it against the final boss, he just... stepped aside and let me go 🥺

#

i guess i beat the game now

fervent radish
topaz cobalt
#

yeah i'm gonna keep going, just didn't expect it to just give me credits suddenly

fervent radish
#

It’s always 10th clear yeah

topaz cobalt
#

yeah that sounds about what i'm at

#

like 40 attempts 10 clears

jagged hamlet
#

Dang that's pretty good

I just read idk man in a completely different context to hades and still thought of the copypasta

I'm out of the loop, but it sounds like that's a good thing 😅

#

Wait have you not seen the divine dash copypasta

jagged hamlet
#

I think I have

lavish sorrel
#

Idk man as someone with 10 40 heat runs under my belt I will literally always pick Divine Dash over pretty much anything. Unless the build really requires a specific dash to create a broken interaction, Divine Dash is good with every build, every weapon, and is simply incredible. I agree with the top post of this comment chain that 8.5 is a little weird for easily the best Dash in the game.

Core memory of hades community

the funny part is using 10 40 heat runs to create authority

i think divine dash bad

It’s saves some things

there are like 24 + 24 saved runs of just pbs

then i have like 100 clears on this cycle

ive also been running 5 heat to get tartarus erebus gates since i can get it consistently (i do EM2 and MM) and once i get all the bounties there ill go up to 10 heat so i can get erebus gates in aspho

I miss brawl stars

fervent radish
#

honestly the answer for gifting is always just gift as many people as you can, complete a run to refresh dialogue, and repeat

twilit lodge
#

If you get vanquisher’s keep you’ll be rolling in gems and can buy keys and then nectar with them

#

So you will be able to gift everyone you see every run, eventually

#

Make sure you look out for fishing spots too, those are good gem, key, and nectar income

Did your save load to the courtyard? Force closing the game resets you to the courtyard, so maybe your crash did the same

Hi, all. I've been a fan of SuperGiant since Bastion way back in 2010. I've finally had time to play Hades.

As much as I like it, I wanted to ask: Is it still being updated? There are a couple of grammatical mistakes in there and (not to seem joyless) I think they could be fixed.

void vigil
#

Nope, the team is working on hades 2 now

#

So it’s not getting any more updates

#

i wonder what grammatical mistakes you found, I’ve heard criticism of some translations but I don’t know what language you’re playing in

mellow escarp
#

English.

#

Alright. Thanks, StickyBot.

void vigil
#

It’ll keep on messaging to stay at the bottom of the channel lol

stiff obsidian
mellow escarp
#

The one that really stuck out was along the lines of:

An item one cannot do without it.

stiff obsidian
#

lol

mellow escarp
#

It's the description of an item in the contractor's shop.

void vigil
#

Yeah, the fated list (?)
I have never noticed that

mellow escarp
#

But I can't find it on the wiki and I'm not going to be able to start the game for another few hours

void vigil
#

When you can, I’d love to see because I genuinely don’t remember

mellow escarp
#

Do I get punished if I "give up"?

#

If not, I can just grab it now while I get dressed

stiff obsidian
#

it will end your current run

#

thats about all

mellow escarp
#

That's fine. Wasn't feeling the boxing gloves anyway

void vigil
#

It just takes you back to before the run started

#

So no punishment at all

mellow escarp
#

Gosh I hope I maintain the gems I got

void vigil
#

No… 😔

mellow escarp
#

Goodbye, 30 gems

void vigil
#

Oh that’s peanuts, you’ll get it back in no time

HAHA so I can't upload screenshots

void vigil
#

You can send links, and the image will embed

#

Ooo, big brain

#

However, it's the description of "Special Item":

An object that unlocks something you could not do without it.

#

From Imgur or even discord or whatever other image hosting service you can think of

Okie dokie. I love seafood, anyway

#

Anyway, yes, that's one grammatical mistake I caught. There were a couple of others, but that was the one I cocked an eyebrow at.

#

I hope it doesn't come off as joyless; I love SuperGiant. I listen to the Transistor soundtrack at the gym.

#

But if anyone sees it...there ya go

Lol just checking

Anyways, his hubby...

Is being annoyingly stubborn this run.

As he tends to be

#

We love him tho...

#

Gurl... Im litereally talking about my otp from the first game

void vigil
#

It’s a bot, not anything you said

woven ice
#

Lol I know i just like do be weird ig

mellow escarp

#

How is that an error?

mellow escarp
#

An object that unlocks something you could not do without.

#

That would be correct.

twilit lodge
#

No it wouldn’t

#

Without “it” (the fishing rod, the “object”)

#

You could not do “something”, which is fishing

mellow escarp
#

The subject of the clause is clear in the sentence.

twilit lodge
#

And your proposed change completely changes the meaning of the sentence

#

“It” is not redundant in this sentence

#

They aren’t updating the game anymore, so it doesn’t matter either way

mellow escarp
#

"It" just refers to "something."

twilit lodge
#

Correct

languid marlin
#

the item unlocks something which you could not do without the item

#

its correct

#

removing the it is "the item unlocks something you need"

#

theres a difference there

mellow escarp
#

Wait, are you saying the sentence is supposed to mean, "It gives you the ability to do something you cannot do without that ability"?

twilit lodge
#

No, it gives you the ability to do something you cannot do without IT

mellow escarp
#

Ugh, I see what you mean now. That's just lousy

languid marlin
#

It (the item) gives you (the player) the ability to do something you (the player) cannot do without it (the item)

twilit lodge
#

It’s overly wordy

languid marlin
#

versus

twilit lodge
#

But it is correct

mellow escarp
#

"An object that allows you to do something," in other words.

twilit lodge
#

Yes

languid marlin
#

yeah exactly

twilit lodge
#

Just overly wordy

languid marlin
#

versus "An object you have to have to progress"

#

tonally its different

twilit lodge
#

Like most of the UI text is

mellow escarp
#

Yeah, that's just lousy style. Blimey

#

Most of the game is well-written, so that stood out.

twilit lodge
#

Let’s just assume achilles wrote it

#

And judge him harshly

So they released some sheet music for Hades, but didn't include The Unseen Ones

#

That's because if they released that, it would look like it's been censored with a black marker

#

But it's not censoring, it's just there are that many notes each beat

stone rune
#

it is an fps game with graphics that seem crazy but you get used to pretty quick

lethal dock
#

nah i know a cool fps game and am too lazy to play any other one

stone rune

and its like probably the best game

#

its not my favorite game

#

but its the best game

lethal dock
#

nah ill keep playing valorant

stone rune

its not a multiplayer fps

speedrun so good

twilit lodge
#

Top comment is “take Demeter boons /j” but unironically that’s actually good advice for most builds

stone rune
#

no its not

twilit lodge
#

Snurst is goated tho

stone rune
#

snurst is good but not often worth putting dem in ur pool for

#

and dem has no good cores

twilit lodge
#

Yeah I hate her cores but I like her for unpommables and snurst

stiff obsidian
#

snurts bad

twilit lodge
#

She has three unpommables that have no prereqs

#

Pretty sure that’s tied for most

stone rune
#

one of them is crop though

latent moon
#

crop's fine as long as you're not playing beo or hera

twilit lodge
#

Usually if you’re filling pool it’s early enough that crop won’t hurt

stiff obsidian
#

dem in tart is the worst feeling ever

#

90% of the time customs will screw you if you take nourished soul or crop

latent moon
#

are you saying that from a casual or high heat perspective

#

lmao that's what i thought

#

yeah for high heat dem sucks

#

also for speed, dem is fine bc of unpommables

stiff obsidian
#

either that ur u will get beam 🤡 ie no cast until u sell it

latent moon
#

she sucks if you're playing like beo or hera

#

she has a lot of unpommables so just take those

#

taking dem to avoid seeing her in theseus isn't like the worst advice it's fine

#

Guys is there a way to listen to the coast music that we used to get when we met Persephone? I miss hearing it

#

I got to my 10th clear and I’m just wondering if it’s gone forever

rustic vale
#

I never took the time to check all the music u can buy and have him play

pure oasis
#

ok thanks appreciate it

twilit lodge
#

It’s in the music you can buy for the music stand

#

Pretty sure it has coast in the name or description

topaz cobalt
#

what do you guys usually increase as your first pact of punishment conditions? so far i've been doing tight deadline and damage control (i'm at like heat 5 on my highest heat weapon)
are there some conditions that are generally considered to be easier?

twilit lodge
#

Tight deadline is free as long as you learn how to go faster

#

Extreme measures 1 and 2 are good to get used to

topaz cobalt
#

yeah i can make the 7:00 one easily. haven't attempted 5:00 yet

twilit lodge
#

3 eventually, once your bounties are 15+

topaz cobalt
#

is extreme measures the one where the bosses do extra things

twilit lodge
#

Benefits package is pretty free and has a prophecy

#

Middle management isn’t too bad either, and makes the barge actually suck less

#

Damage control is absolutely horrid on some weapons and free on others

#

I wouldn’t recommend using it always, because of this

topaz cobalt
#

i mostly use the weapons where it's easy. spear, fists, shield, rail

stiff obsidian
#

even on weaps that can take it it will slow u down

fervent radish
stiff obsidian
#

yeah no dont do that

fervent radish
#

What amount of heat are you looking for

#

And on what aspect

twilit lodge
#

Bp1 isn’t terrible early on, bp2 sure

topaz cobalt
#

i'm looking for a general idea of progression

#

i'm currently at low heat and noticed that tight deadline and damage control are infinitely easier than lasting consequences

twilit lodge
#

LC isn’t recommended until 32+

topaz cobalt
#

i originally thought LC wouldn't be bad but then i lost like 4 runs

twilit lodge
#

One level of it wouldn’t be too bad but it’s not worth hardly any heat so

#

Just avoid

topaz cobalt
#

so what's a good progression to stick to?

fervent radish
#

By ridiculoushat

stone rune
#

this game hates me

fervent radish
#

Zeus?

stone rune
#

i have had so many sub250 aspho exits past few days

#

and none of them were even sub6able

twilit lodge
#

Oh yeah I forgot about this graphic

#

It takes EM3 earlier than I would but seems good for newer players to follow

topaz cobalt
#

yeah why does it take EM so early?

twilit lodge
#

Because it’s not taking forced overtime until past 20 heat

#

Nor td3

topaz cobalt
#

i thought td2 was free

twilit lodge
#

If it’s easy for you go ahead and use it earlier

stone rune
#

td3 is prob easiest heat in the game

twilit lodge
#

Adding em3 early isn’t a bad thing anyway, you’ll need to learn the fight

topaz cobalt
#

EM1 got me killed the first time i did it but that's just because it's a new boss

twilit lodge
#

And it’s a drastically tougher fight until you get it learned

#

Might as well learn it before the other heat kicks in

#

EM1 is just some extra stuff to avoid

topaz cobalt
#

i mean i could always go low heat and only do EM to learn it. extra darkness never hurt anyone

twilit lodge
#

This is true

topaz cobalt
#

i still struggle with theseus & asterius with some weapons though. bow and sword are especially difficult for me

fervent radish
topaz cobalt
#

i generally do very well with the very fast attacking weapons like flurry jab spear, long knuckle fists (the attack range is abysmal without it...), zeus aspect shield, and rail

#

i just stick zeus on it and it carries the whole run

topaz cobalt
# jagged hamlet Must needs Dash-Strike!

dash strike with sword? it really doesn't feel good and i haven't been able to get used to it. with the bow it just always feels too slow even with dash attacks

stiff obsidian
#

this can carry you to 40 heat

latent moon
# topaz cobalt yeah why does it take EM so early?

that graphic takes em3 early bc it's geared at helping you clear 32 heat as easily as possible
32 heat generally always takes em3, and if you take em3 early you'll just be better at the fight bc of experience

#

you can always just take em3 later and switch some stuff around

jagged hamlet
latent moon
#

bc it's quite significantly faster

twilit lodge
#

Me when the measures are extreme

jagged hamlet
#

I don't know what to tell you regarding the bow, unfortunately

latent moon
#

where's the shackle gif thing

topaz cobalt
latent moon
#

zag holds the bow differently and it does a different damage number

jagged hamlet
#

Compareth thyself to the video

topaz cobalt
#

it is significantly faster than standing still yes but it's still slow af

twilit lodge
latent moon
#

power shot doesn't charge quicker

twilit lodge
#

Has my entire life been a lie

latent moon
#

well like

#

if you dash strike, you can power shot faster

#

but like

#

power shotting doesnt make you charge faster

topaz cobalt
#

does it seem that way because it's charging during the dash

jagged hamlet
#

No, the bow simply draws faster when Dash-Striked

twilit lodge
stiff obsidian
jagged hamlet
#

I got you, Smelly

topaz cobalt
#

i'm confused

stiff obsidian
#

the game cant know before hand if ur going to power shot or not

twilit lodge
#

Bro

stiff obsidian
#

how would a power shot charge quicker

topaz cobalt
#

because it brings you to max length faster

latent moon
topaz cobalt
#

it gives you the power shot window earlier

jagged hamlet
#

Or at least sooner

#

If we're being really pedantic

twilit lodge
#

Swim asked how to tell if actually dash striking

fervent radish
stiff obsidian
#

youre confusing dash strike and power shot

stiff obsidian
latent moon
#

the easiest way to figure out if you're dash striking with power shots is looking at the damage number

#

on skelly

topaz cobalt
#

but you can power shot during a dash strike

stiff obsidian
#

yes

jagged hamlet
#

Yep

twilit lodge
#

And it’s

#

Faster

#

So when swim asked how to tell if actually dash striking

#

I said

topaz cobalt
twilit lodge
#

The power shot will charge faster

fervent radish
#

The power shot indicator happens first

jagged hamlet
#

Or you'll reach the Power Shot window more quickly

stiff obsidian
twilit lodge
#

Yes

#

You do

#

This was exhausting

topaz cobalt
#

anyways yes i am dash striking but it does still feel slow and i get hit quite a lot

fervent radish
#

I saw that

latent moon
#

@stiff obsidian what was that and can i have that image

twilit lodge
#

🍉

jagged hamlet
latent moon
#

if you're getting hit still then yeah positioning lmao

fervent radish
#

Please post that again

stiff obsidian
fervent radish
#

You when em4

latent moon
#

also which bow are you using

jagged hamlet
#

inb4 Rama

topaz cobalt
#

my successful bow strat has been quick draw hammer or whatever that makes it so you just shoot and don't charge and then dio on the special with extra shots hammer

stiff obsidian
#

💀

latent moon
topaz cobalt
#

yes

twilit lodge
#

Flurry shot is alright

latent moon
#

yeah that might be why you feel like bow sucks lmao

topaz cobalt
#

the other ones are worse for me

twilit lodge
#

Zagbow is funny sometimes

topaz cobalt
#

well i don't have the hidden yet

twilit lodge
#

Hidden one is rough

latent moon
#

the other bows are considered a lot better than chiron

#

chiron just feels the most beginner friendly bc it's like a 2 button aspect and you dont actually need to power shot, so you dont need to figure out the timing or whatever

topaz cobalt
#

i tried hera and really didn't like it

jagged hamlet
#

Chiron? You can't mean Chiron of the infinite animation lock?

twilit lodge
#

You can do some crazy stuff with Rama but it’s kinda hard to learn

latent moon
twilit lodge
#

In b4 dem

topaz cobalt
#

i tried like zeus and ares i think

latent moon
#

yeah that might be why it sucked lmao

#

try aphrodite's cast

topaz cobalt
#

ok i can try that

twilit lodge
#

And Pom it aggressively

topaz cobalt
#

and what, put cast on my reload button?

latent moon
#

aphro's cast is like the only usable cast on hera

twilit lodge
#

I put cast on left bumper

latent moon
topaz cobalt
#

yeah that's where my rail reload button is

latent moon
#

doesn't matter where as long as it's convenient

twilit lodge
#

For beo and hera, but in general I leave it there

#

Unless playing hestia

#

Or flurry jab

#

In which case I put reload and attack there respectively

topaz cobalt
#

yeah i guess L2 is kinda a rotating button

#

i feel like the bow really struggles with armored enemies

fervent radish
#

Depends

#

You hope to do enough damage so that armor doesn’t matter

topaz cobalt
#

the reason i started using chiron was for the special + damage to armor hammer to rip armor to shreads

jagged hamlet
#

And not overkill the armor too much so you don't waste damage zagsad

latent moon
#

piercing volley lowkey kinda cursed ngl

jagged hamlet
#

That said, Hera should do just fine against armor

fervent radish
#

Hera just does big damage lol

jagged hamlet
#

More importantly, Hera does big damage in multiple, separate instances!

fervent radish
#

Croven is broken and unbalanced

latent moon
#

hera should be fine against armor unless you're on bp2 and they have super armor lmao

topaz cobalt
#

so with hera, does it apply both the attack and the cast debuffs to the attack?

twilit lodge
#

The attack happens and then each loaded cast hits

topaz cobalt
#

like if i have aphro cast and lets say dio attack

twilit lodge
#

In a row

#

The damage numbers will combine but they are separate hits

latent moon
#

yeah the enemy will take 1 stack of hangover and get hit by the aphro cast

topaz cobalt
#

ok so dio will hit and then aphro will hit and then i'll get privileged status

twilit lodge
#

Better off just using family favorite I’d say

topaz cobalt
#

really? it feels like privilegted status is just better by a lot

twilit lodge
#

It’s better by 15%

stiff obsidian
#

it is

twilit lodge
#

When it’s active

topaz cobalt
#

yeah but just make it active all the time

jagged hamlet
#

All the time*
*after the second hit

topaz cobalt
#

eh it only matters on enemies where you need to hit them more than twice anyways

latent moon
topaz cobalt
#

neither will family favorite

latent moon
#

also priv status makes you look for unfavorable gods just to make sure you get it

twilit lodge
#

A lot of your attacking in a hera run is single cast load shots

latent moon
twilit lodge
#

Which won’t even activate PS

latent moon
#

lmao

#

you get an immediate 5%

topaz cobalt
twilit lodge
#

Zeus pos is like

latent moon
#

it's also telling that hera speedruns commonly use snow burst from demeter with aphrodite cast
and still use fam favs

latent moon
twilit lodge
#

The worst PS combo I can dream of

#

Since they both need a t2 for that

topaz cobalt
#

i don't see why that matters when it isn't hard to do

jagged hamlet
#

Opportunity costs! You wanna start doing damage ASAP

latent moon
#

it's a consistent 25% every run vs an inconsistent 40% that might require bad/forced combos

topaz cobalt
#

i usually try to go for zeus on the fast attack, aphro on the slow attack, and pos on the dash

#

you say every run like i should be forcing 5 different gods every run

latent moon
#

you get 5 naturally

#

by just game mechanics

topaz cobalt
#

often it seems better to stick to 3 or 4

jagged hamlet
#

Hermes counts as an Olympian, eh

latent moon
#

basic 4 god pool that gets filled
and yeah hermes counts as the 5th

#

the game gives you random gods until you get 4 different gods (not including hermes or chaos)

jagged hamlet
#

I'm loving the Swinub RP

fervent radish
#

A good build should really only need 1-2 core gods and a scaling one

#

Plus Hermes

twilit lodge
#

3 god is bad in my experience because the game will waste doors throwing potential 4th gods at you

fervent radish
#

Anything past that doesn’t really matter

topaz cobalt
twilit lodge
#

I try to lock in a 4th even if I don’t need that god as long as I can get something that isn’t detrimental

latent moon
#

you generally want to fill the god pool asap so you dont have a 1/8 chance of seeing what you want

fervent radish
topaz cobalt
#

i've never really liked artemis tbh

fervent radish
#

Basically once you have your core build, you want either or both to make sure you have scaling till the end

#

This is in a speedrunning context though

jagged hamlet
#

What's the thing that's scaling in this case?

#

Are we talking 'bout good pommables?

fervent radish
#

Any damage

twilit lodge
#

Artemis scales with chaos and hunter’s mark I assume

fervent radish
#

He mentioned Zeus and Poseidon so arty would be good to have for scaling everything

twilit lodge
#

Zeus scales with more Zeus

latent moon
#

hera scaling is just charon wells

fervent radish
#

Artemis IS your scaling

#

Pretty bad by herself

#

almost every build can benefit from zeus call, jolted, billowing, pressure points, and hunters mark

#

hera is one of the few that just prefers to have more poms lol

latent moon
#

more poms and an hourglass

fervent radish
#
