vague viper
#

if you get hit would it be entirely joever cause you get stunned and keep taking laser damage

fervent radish
#

Since you can output dps and can’t always dash to a pillsr

vague viper
#

also is that small area around him comfortable enough to melee combo stuff even with attacks that move/displace you

fervent radish
#

Meh

vague viper
#

you just gotta sit real still?

fervent radish
#

You can standing strike and sword special into him just fine

#

Anything involving dashing is sus

stiff obsidian
twilit lodge
#

Either way it’s a much smaller dps drop than boulder hiding

#

In my experience it’s more reliable too, the boulder gets me killed sometimes when the angle is just so and they clip through anyway

#

Having call available for iframes makes it even safer to keep doing mobility attacks

topaz cobalt
#

what's the logic behind when i get offered a boon that'll replace an existing boon? like is there just a low chance of that? or is there something that triggers it?

topaz cobalt
#

and is it always a rarity upgrade?

mint coral
#

Yeah

#

In depth for how the game rolls boons

twilit lodge
#

It’s 10% except when I really need to fill my only empty core

#

Then somehow it’s 100%

topaz cobalt
#

oh so it's not a single roll that decides the rarity like 40% chance of rare, 20% chance of epic, 10% chance of duo/legendary, 30% chance of common

twilit lodge
#

It’s top down

#

That’s why eury nectar and yarn and chaos favor can help you get duos/legendaries more easily

#

At least I think so

topaz cobalt
#

yeah so with those percentages, it would be 10% chance of duo/legendary, 18% chance of epic, 32.8% chance of rare, and 39.2% chance of common

twilit lodge
#

And the chance for Hermes legendaries is 1% without any boosters

mint coral
#

Yarn and nectar are funny for rares tho

#

They just make the rare roll 100%

#

Same goes for EA and epics

twilit lodge
#

Consolation prize

topaz cobalt
#

yeah so they just drop the common option and the rare is the default at the end

mint coral
#

That rant is hilarious

twilit lodge
#

Well technically they don’t drop the common, the rare just happens first

topaz cobalt
#

what is EA

twilit lodge
#

And is 100% in those cases

mint coral
#

Exclusive access

twilit lodge
mint coral
twilit lodge
#

Before your mirror is finished it’s not awful

#

But

#

It’s not great

mint coral
#

is fun if you get it before hermes

#

I like to gamble for it on stuff that starts pos and if I find Dio

topaz cobalt
#

oh it doesn't increase duo/legendary or heroic chance?

#

what's the point

mint coral
#

epic hermes lol

#

also nothing increases heroic chance

twilit lodge
#

EA into endshop HS, early aspho RD, and then eury upgrade of both

mint coral
#

that is only through swaps/rare crop or ambrosia delight

topaz cobalt
mint coral
#

oh in that sense ig lol

twilit lodge
#

Swaps are usually not good though

#

If it’s a boon you’re counting on using, you want to pick it to begin with, not swap it

mint coral
#

swaps are the bane of ap2 runs

twilit lodge
#

And counting on that 10% is just

#

Not it

topaz cobalt
#

lol but if you have like something you settled for and get offered something better

twilit lodge
#

If I had a nickel for every run where swaps denied me of a duo core until late ely or Styx

mint coral
twilit lodge
#

So dramatic

mint coral
#

or if you took a whatever core is prob getting sold

stiff obsidian
#

if i had a nickel for every time ap2 force swapped lightning strike for divine strike

#

id have like 15 nickels

twilit lodge
#

That’s a lot of nickels

mint coral
stiff obsidian
#

yeha

#

they should allow swearing here

topaz cobalt
mint coral
#

I just play modded

stiff obsidian
#

embrace science

topaz cobalt
#

yeah i was thinking that. i wonder why the game doesn't let you just decide a starting boon for free

stiff obsidian
#

it will lead us to the future

twilit lodge
#

Forcing first god is plenty of rng pity

#

Mods let you go further with anti-vorime

topaz cobalt
#

i mean they could do it as infinite rerolls if they can't figure out what to do

#

i'd like a way to force hammer as the first boon

#

that would be nice

old bluff
#

The game is still a rouge lite, RNG is the whole point

twilit lodge
#

I don’t think that really fits with their vision of the game yeah

topaz cobalt
#

yeah but if people are gonna restart until they get what they want, why doesn't it just give them what they want

stiff obsidian
#

i should play dead cells

twilit lodge
#

You’re just talking to speed runners

stiff obsidian
#

what

#

speedrunners here

#

where

old bluff
#

Nowhere

topaz cobalt
#

oh they could have it be a room with all of the boons available like a trial and the rest of them vanish when you choose one

mint coral
#

High heaters are speedrunners at their core

old bluff
#

High heat is just any heat ngl

twilit lodge
#

High heat is any run without demeter

brisk trail
#

I just bought Hades today and my second run the first God is literally Zeus

latent moon
#

Yeah that's scripted lol

brisk trail
#

Oh lol

#

Are the boons he gives scripted too?

latent moon
#

Not entirely sure tbh

#

The first boon of a run is typically 3/4 possible boons

#

For Athena in the very very start of the game it's always gonna be the same 3 boons

brisk trail
#

I got Lightning Strike, Electric Shot, and Thunder Dash

latent moon
#

Thunder flourish could've been an option maybe but idk lmao

brisk trail
#

Lmao

brisk trail
#

I'm so new I'm just like "Makes sense I died to that"

#

However I did survive at like 18 health for 2 rooms

topaz cobalt
#

is athena's cast not available room 1?

stiff obsidian
#

it iis

#

atk cast dash

topaz cobalt
#

oh the special isn't available? that seems super weird

brisk trail
#

I used to be a Diablo player so I'm a little familiar with having to deal with lots of enemies

#

And tbh this feels a LOT like Diablo

#

Okay I love the bow lmao

topaz cobalt
#

you can have mine

#

i absolutely hate it

latent moon
topaz cobalt
#

lol

#

also i just did EM3 and it was significantly easier than i thought it would be

#

tbh it might not even be any more difficult because my worst phase is when the gods are attacking and that's shorter in EM3

brisk trail
#

I am so thankful I picked the shop

#

I was at 9 health

latent moon
#

his attacks are just a lot bigger

#

and theseus provides better area denial

vague viper
latent moon
#

becomes more of a pain in the ass

topaz cobalt
#

was looking for jolted; got 2 duos alongside it. now idk what to do

brisk trail
#

wow got a heal and immediately died to the bomb guys

latent moon
#

rd just has prereqs

#

greater haste or hyper sprint

#

legendary also has prereqs but you gotta hit the 1% of seeing the legendary lmao

topaz cobalt
#

hermes legendaries are both about bloodstones so to me they're meh

vague viper
latent moon
#

poseidon and dionysus

latent moon
#

although

#

bad news is bugged to give a global 50% damage boost to everything that doesnt have a cast in it

#

so that's funny

old bluff
#

wdym, Bad News is just common RD

latent moon
#

common rd without scaling lmao

brisk trail
#

The voice acting is so good

latent moon
#

i forgot what it's supposed to do ngl

topaz cobalt
#

oh it's supposed to be cast only

#

cast is supposed to get a 50% boost against foes without a stone in them

#

but it buffs everything not just cast?

latent moon
#

yeah that's it

topaz cobalt
#

ok so i do want that then

latent moon
#

well

#

no

#

bc it's a 1% chance to get

#

so it's super inconsistent

#

you're better off going for hyper sprint -> rd

topaz cobalt
#

well i mean don't bank on it but if you see it get it

latent moon
#

or taking more dashes

topaz cobalt
#

there are only a couple weapons where more dashes helps a lot

latent moon
topaz cobalt
#

is the plume ever useful?

vague viper
#

I have a prophecy to fulfil

vague viper
latent moon
#

lmao

latent moon
twilit lodge
twilit lodge
brisk trail
#

Does God RNG kick in on the third run?

latent moon
#

i think like the first 4-5 things at the start of the run are scripted but after that it's all random

brisk trail
#

Ah okay

latent moon
#

mostly bc it's teaching you mechanics and things that exist

brisk trail
#

wow an epic Tempest Strike?

topaz cobalt
#

there's one scripted poseidon later but i have no idea what triggers it

latent moon
#

it's always athena, zeus, hammer, hermes (although this might be disputed?), then posiedon call i believe

brisk trail
#

I like have to take that right?

topaz cobalt
#

not immediately

#

for me it was like 4 runs past getting the fishing rod

latent moon
twilit lodge
#

Tempest strike is uh

#

Never good

latent moon
twilit lodge
#

But take it anyway, early runs are about seeing and touching everything at least once

latent moon
#

i forgot it existed for a sec lmao

topaz cobalt
#

yeah all the other channels are spoiler channels

brisk trail
#

oh

latent moon
#

oh yeah i forgot that's a use lmao

fervent radish
#

Also if you want bad news for some reason

#

Or GR

lavish sorrel
#

(bad news is used in diobeo gameplay, and I found the infernal soul equivalent - whatever it's called again - handy when doing hitless damageless hera)

twilit lodge
#

Greater recall I think

hoary pebble
#

Ok chat

#

What hidden weapon aspect should I do a run with? I’ve already done Gilgamesh and Beowulf

fervent radish
#

Guan yu

twilit lodge
#

Level 1 guan yu

#

It’ll teach you a lot about the game!

vague viper
jagged hamlet
#

No, you're Shrimp!

brisk trail
#

I'm just built different bro

hoary pebble
#

Then Arthur

twilit lodge
#

GY is suffering

#

Arthur isn’t too bad it’s just not fast at all

#

The damage is great though, even just out of the box

latent moon
#

gy is good (as long as you get the right hammer)

vague viper
latent moon
#

that or charged skewer

#

charged skewer is a lot easier and safer to play

twilit lodge
#

I never get charged skewer

#

Rip

obsidian drum
#

I cannot reach that, sadly

twilit lodge
#

Lightning dash moment

vernal compass
#

hello

twilit lodge
#

Oh hi

tepid light
void vigil
#

smel like run clear keikaku

lavish sorrel
tepid light
old bluff
#

Do you want to know what I love more than Arthur? Beowulf

tepid light
vague viper
#

kinda urgent but would killing freeze count 1 or 2 enemies as “all” if they were all there were like in a boss fight

stiff obsidian
#

yeah

#

killing freeze good

rustic vale
vague viper
#

is there any notable progress on playing the lyre or is it like an instant snap after 210 tries?
do the chords get less discordant half way through and he says like “I’m getting it now” or something

fervent radish
#

yeah

twilit lodge
#

There’s progression

stiff obsidian
#

annoying sidequest

rustic vale
#

he does improve at his playing every so often

twilit lodge
#

The most annoying part is that as you get better at it the cooldown on pressing it gets crazy long

stiff obsidian
#

yeah

vague viper
#

on the 10th run when ||Hades lets you pass without a fight, could you still fight him? can you challenge him or stay until he reconsiders it||?

#

I kinda wanna

#

oh wait yo it’s ||the true ending
can I finally start catching fish in Greece and gift persephone nectar for her keepsake||?

stiff obsidian
#

yeah

#

this is the regular ending

#

true ending later

stiff obsidian
#

dont have to spoiler in this channel

vague viper
#

I thought it might be like the true ending to dead cells

stiff obsidian
#

havent played that

#

will soon

vague viper
#

good thing I didn’t spoil it then lol

#

great game though yes definitely play it soon

vague viper
stiff obsidian
#

just complete storylines and stuff

#

you will know

vague viper
#

does sweet nectar affect pom slices / pom blossom

stone rune
#

it will give the same increase twice

#

instead of the decreased increase for the second pom

mint coral
#

Works with slices but not mom's pom iirc

stone rune
#

nobody knows because nobody uses mom pom

vague viper
vague viper
stone rune
#

it really sucks

stone rune
#

but like

#

poms fall off

#

but it wont fall off for the second one

vague viper
#

aren’t stats tied to levels though? wouldn’t it just go from like lv3 to lv5, or would it add the same increase from lv3 to lv4 twice

stone rune
#

like

#

flood flare lvl1 to lvl2 is 96

#

and then lvl2 to lvl3 is 121

#

well not the difference

#

lvl1 is 60, lvl2 is 96, lvl3 is 121

#

but with sweet nectar and pom slice it would become lvl3 but also 136

vague viper
#

I do not see how that math adds up

#

it’s getting a weird bonus from somewhere and looking at those numbers there’s no easy way you could get 136

stone rune
#

i forgot how to count

#

132

#

60+36+36

jagged hamlet
#

Shrimp maths

vague viper
#

yea I was silly

#

so it is what I said, same level bonus twice

#

which is weird cause I thought levels were added from a reference sheet like it’s adding 2 levels, to 121, rather than adding 61 damage

stone rune
#

idk how it does it

vague viper
#

not how it probably should be that’s how

#

also tracking each debuff strength independently is a bit weird, like WoL and DC do the same thing

hoary pebble
#

Ok guan Yu done

#

On to Arthur

rustic vale
#

So if you have a pom slice

#

And sweet nectar

#

and your dio call is level 1

#

Instead of adding level 2 and level 3

#

It’s adds the level 2 increase of 8 damage twice

#

since pom slices r bugged with sweet nectar

#

for regular poms, swet nectar just increases it like + (level 2 bonus) + (level 3 bonus)

vague viper
twilit lodge
#

The expensive Styx shop Poms are just +2 (so are the poms in Styx mini boss tunnels)

#

and with sweet nectar they are +3

#

Sweet nectar Pom slice is such an uncommon thing that I wouldn’t even waste brain space on it

#

@vague viper surface is covered in snow bc Demeter in her feels

#

That’s the context that makes her being locked behind first time reaching surface make a little more sense

vague viper
#

which aspects are significantly better when maxed rather than level 1 and just unlocked? I have titan blood to splash around
look at them; poseidon, arthur, zeus, beowulf, chiron, rama, demeter, gilgamesh, and hestia all seem the best when maxed out rather than lower level
any adjustments to that? some that aren’t, extras I missed, extra importance on some more than others?

stone rune
#

i hate this dumbass game

#

why do i play this

#

utter garbage

stiff obsidian
#

i feel the exact same way

#

today

stone rune
#

arthur does not need level increase

stiff obsidian
stone rune
#

gilga does not need level increase

#

yeah arthur and gilga both suck ass always

#

beo is the best aspect in the game always

vague viper
stone rune
#

maim sucks

stiff obsidian
#

no one uses maim for the maim damage anyway

stone rune
#

isnt it like 4 or 5 seconds or something

#

to drop

stiff obsidian
#

like 4

vague viper
#

4

stone rune
#

yeah thats garbage

stiff obsidian
#

its only use case is furies

vague viper
#

zeus’ entire damage is based on level. and demeter I suppose
chiron adding almost all the arrows back is great too. those seem the most high priority

#

wait does beo’s upgrade to dragon rush affect only the impact or the cast explosion/s?

#

the area buff is great tho too

stiff obsidian
#

most of the damage is from the cast

#

most of the stuff that we say also work at low levels mostly are just alreaedy great at low levels

#

and get even better at higher levels

vague viper
#

which is why I’m asking for the ones that get significantly better when upgraded rather than being good at base too

stiff obsidian
#

beowulf

latent moon
stiff obsidian
#

the base daamge is significnt

stiff obsidian
#

eris and hestia are much better at max

vague viper
stiff obsidian
#

nem good at max

#

yes

latent moon
#

the dragon rush does like idk 50? base damage when loaded
fully upgraded it does a bonus 100% or something

stiff obsidian
#

its 75% global so affects everything like lightning etc

latent moon
#

idk the exact numbers but it's still a lot better

vague viper
stiff obsidian
#

yeah its significant

vague viper
latent moon
#

thunder flourish is flat damage

#

it doesnt affect your base damage

vague viper
latent moon
#

so you dont really care about what your base damage is

vague viper
#

I know what you mean though

#

I still have to reveal bow and fists, how annoying is it to get asterius to talk about ‘em

latent moon
#

the annoying part is finding asterius twice

#

you have a 50/50 in seeing him in ely

stiff obsidian
#

dont rush fists the hidden one sucks ass

latent moon
#

that's also very true

vague viper
latent moon
#

you still need to find him twice

#

at least twice

#

assuming you get the dialogue both times lmao

vague viper
latent moon
#

using fists isn't the bad part unless you're jazz who hates anything that isn't beowulf

vague viper
#

so true

stiff obsidian
#

tried beowulf 50 yesterday

#

didnt get a cast until ely

vague viper
#

looking for a specific ability boon is torture sometimes

latent moon
#

or were you trying to aspect of cshot it

stiff obsidian
#

c1 hammer

#

c2 chaos

#

enshrouded

#

walked into athena

#

had to take like attack

latent moon
#

ah

#

see

#

i would've just reset

stiff obsidian
#

weak

latent moon
#

what was the chaos actually

stiff obsidian
#

common shot

#

iirc

latent moon
#

oh rip

#

were you trying to do pstatus

stiff obsidian
#

no

latent moon
#

should've just taken athena cast tbh lmao

stiff obsidian
#

idk

latent moon
#

her cast still does a lot of damage

stiff obsidian
#

maybe

#

yeah but tiny

latent moon
#

the radius is kinda ass tho

#

i mean like

vague viper
#

is there a way to release your dragon rush and explode before the end of the rush’s path

latent moon
#

option 1 was to get cast in ely lmao

#

the other option was to ball with athena

vague viper
#

like if you need to block a bit longer and the end of the dash goes beyond the enemy

latent moon
#

and the third option was reset

stiff obsidian
#

u have iframes during the rush anyway

latent moon
#

but also you dont need to block a little longer most of the time since rushing blocks yeah

#

the exception is if you have cshot but at that point just eat the damage, they'll die anyways

#

or just take the miss and try again

latent moon
#

you'll at minimum hit them with the cshot

#

charged shot

stiff obsidian
#

charged shot

latent moon
#

hammer

#

makes it so you dont have a "rush" technically but you now have a better bow

vague viper
#

yeah I had that once

#

just didn’t realise what c shot means

stiff obsidian
#

wow my common pos call critting for 2k

#

and then there are players who like using max arty call because it does like 1.5k damage 'nuke'

latent moon
#

lmao real

#

tbf pos call was pretty slept on for damage until fairly recently with the high heat community

#

it wasn't until guan yu 60? or whatever the record was before playad got it

stiff obsidian
#

its my preferred call on eris now

#

yeah

#

something guan yu yeah

latent moon
#

besides on eris tho, what call is more preferred for heat

#

athena or pos?

#

i'd assume athena but pos call damage can be pretty stupid

fervent radish
#

Depends on jolted

#

But yeah Poseidon is really strong regardless

stiff obsidian
#

i cant speak for other aspects

latent moon
#

for zeus shield i would think athena but i got no clue lmao

stiff obsidian
#

yeah probably

#

pos call probably breaks the zeus rythm

idle adder
#

Do I have to meet the boss at Styx to get Demeter to start appearing in runs?

latent moon
#

i think athena is prob just universally preferred

stiff obsidian
#

eris also has like

#

buffed call

latent moon
#

yeah i get why eris would use pos call

#

the only reason why guan yu takes pos call is bc it can't force athena for call after the start lmao

idle adder
latent moon
#

it do be like that

idle adder
#

I started the game 2 days ago I couldn't have guessed it being so addicting ngl

stiff obsidian
#

but on the other hand eris is one of the aspects that would probably do more damage normally rather than through call

latent moon
#

lmao yeah game be good

#

would it?

#

isnt pos call leveling pretty good

fervent radish
#

Oh I thought you were talking only about eris

latent moon
#

i feel like eris damage kinda eh without like tdash

stiff obsidian
fervent radish
#

You can probably do Poseidon call damage in the invincibility period of Athena call

latent moon
#

fair

fervent radish
#

Athena trivializes em4

vague viper
latent moon
#

just get riptide and trivialize like every combat lmao

fervent radish
#

Depends

latent moon
#

or rip current idk the name

fervent radish
#

32+ is like pushing heat

#

50 is what I’d call high

latent moon
fervent radish
stiff obsidian
#

5 rolls

latent moon
#

does pos call open sea storm

fervent radish
#

Billowing

latent moon
#

oh wait that's a fat billowing % what

stiff obsidian
vague viper
latent moon
#

100% global after 1 call is insane

#

can you pom billowing lmao

stiff obsidian
#

75% -> 100% is prety negligible

#

yes

fervent radish
latent moon
#

only need 40 poms

fervent radish
#

It’s like 8%

#

Lmao

vague viper
latent moon
idle adder
vague viper
latent moon
#

for all in game collectibles

idle adder
#

Oop I just realised there's a channel for new players

latent moon
#

for steam achievement it's only 16

#

most people just do 32 heat (or try) bc there's an in game reward for it

#

totally doable tho

stiff obsidian
#

40 is doable by like anyone

#

50 idk

latent moon
#

i'd say 40 yeah

#

it's still like sus without any guidance but you can def make it work

vague viper
latent moon
#

for comedic factor i'd say it's a spoiler lmao

vague viper
hoary pebble
#

Ok guan yu and Arthur done

#

Arthur was so fun

#

Probably my favorite hidden aspect

twilit lodge
#

Arthur is pretty fun yeh

#

It’s slow as molasses but you chonk things

stone rune
#

do you

#

it’s more like it’s slow as molasses and nothing ever dies

vague viper
#

I’m surprised tight deadlines doesn’t pause after you clear a room

#

it paused after a boss but not normal rooms tf

stone rune
vague viper
#

me when satyr sack final path

#

I know cause I died in the last room on path 4 cause I was counting on there being a fountain

#

what do you do with keys after you’re done with the mirror and arms

mint coral
#

Keep 15 on hand in case the blood trade shows up

vague viper
#

ah so nothing

fervent radish
#

Yeah

#

Most meta resources aren’t useful after max

twilit lodge
#

Eventually you unlock themes, one of which costs 200 keys

vague viper
#

surely super nova doesn’t increase arthur’s holy ground radius right

twilit lodge
#

Nope but there is an Arthur specific hammer that does I think

#

Yeah

#

Makes it bigger and makes the slow effect stronger

vague viper
#

couldn’t ya just roll them up together in one

twilit lodge
#

Greater Consecration

vague viper
#

what causes the styx room rewards to sometimes be doubled? elite room status? or they just become normal drops after finding the sack

stiff obsidian
#

if its in a miniboss tunnel its boosted

twilit lodge
#

Mini boss tunnel has doubled gold, poms, bonus health from centaur heart, and boosted rarity for boons

#

Even if you get the fountain it’s still boosted

stone rune
#

i hate this game

#

i hate it

stiff obsidian
stone rune
#

i tried

stiff obsidian
stone rune
#

i actually think i have a divinely ordained curse of garbage rng

hoary pebble
#

I have 2 secret aspects left

#

Bow and rail

#

I also got the Sisyphus companion

twilit lodge
#

Woot

hoary pebble
twilit lodge
#

Secret bow is fun but slow

#

Secret rail is very clunky imo

#

If you’re on kbm it’s not so bad

hoary pebble
#

I play with a controller

twilit lodge
#

You really need to be able to aim the specials well

#

And controller isn’t so good for that

hoary pebble
#

It’s probably going to br hard

#

Yeah

twilit lodge
#

Secret bow can cheese with Zeus on the special and just spamming it

#

But the mechanic is very strong if you do use the attack too

#

Just don’t get explosive shot for the love of everything

#

It already fires the attack super slow

stone rune
#

my hatred for this game is undying

latent moon
#

i swear whenever i see a message from you it's always "i hate this game"

#

you literally dont have to play this game if you hate it

stiff obsidian
#

u need a justanyheatthings

twilit lodge
#

Must play

fervent radish
stone rune
#

sure

#

i will learn to speedrun cruelty squad

vague viper
#

is gilgamesh maim’s damage buff flat or multiplicative

stone rune
#

assume everything is additive

vague viper
#

it would be pretty bad if it was an additive 25%, and it says “take 25% more damage” instead of “*+*25% damage”

stone rune
#

shocking: gilga is bad

#

maybe the damage you take is multiplicative but thats not really that important

#

given that there are like barely any modifiers to damage u take in the game

vague viper
#

just myrmidon, beo, dad debuff, chaos I think

stone rune
#

well theres other stuff

#

hard labor

#

but u have much bigger issues when using gilga

stiff obsidian
#

25% is significant for flat damage

stone rune
#

no the damage u take

#

the damage u deal buff does matter to some extent

#

wait is the damage u tkae increased by 50%

stiff obsidian
#

no i think 25%

stone rune
#

well maim is mult

#

apparently

#

yeah cause it affects like

#

summons

#

anyways dont use gilga

stiff obsidian
#

waahht

#

agre

#

gilga isn't good but i love seeing cherry use it lmao

#

i love his gilga clips

stone rune
#

i cant watch hades

stiff obsidian
#

i watched the gilga tech playlists

@Aspect of Asian Watch your language.

#

Apparently 'ree' is considered bad language

#

Who knew

stiff obsidian
#

yes the automod has educated a lot of us

stone rune
jagged hamlet
#

I learned so many bad words thanks to Dyno squirtheh

vague viper
tepid light
stone rune
#

i dont think we necessarily need to do this here

latent moon
stone rune
#

ohhhhh

jagged hamlet
#

I always associated the aforementioned onomatopoeia with frogs until Dyno and one of our mods educated me

#

Frogs...and AI-chan LOL

tepid light
stone rune
#

its actually better that it does because its less downtime for ur damage

#

the best time for ares call would be 0 nanoseconds

#

free 0.4s iframe

vague viper
stiff obsidian
#

id like ares call if it lasted 2 nanoseconds

#

instead it wastes 2 whole seconds

jagged hamlet
#

I wanna see jazz go through Bastion's Score Attack mode!

vague viper
stiff obsidian
#

yes

tepid light
jagged hamlet
#

Hades 1 so very, very centralized with its builds

vague viper
#

gottem

stiff obsidian
#

i will do upto 57 heat with em4 this week

#

perhaps 60 if i get good enogh

twilit lodge
#

People actually like pos call

#

I don’t think I ever used it after the tutorial run and it just didn’t impress me

#

The cooldown between bounces is so long

stone rune
#

pos call is good for heat

twilit lodge
#

Maybe I’m using it wrong or don’t know the tech

stone rune
#

or something

#

but heat is weird

jagged hamlet
#

Pos call is so, so fun with Rip Current

stone rune
#

and fake

tepid light
#

I don't actually mind Poseidon Call that much since the damage is decent and the duration is respectable

latent moon
#

except on eris you get a fat hit bc of the 75%

tepid light
#

but athena call still best

latent moon
#

for heat yeah

tepid light
#

There is only heat

#

Speedrunning is for weak gamers

latent moon
#

real

stiff obsidian
#

Epic pos call is 450 right

#

So with a couple poms would be 600 atleast?

fervent radish
#

yeah

stiff obsidian
#

So with Eris and like family favs it would do 1k per hit

#

2 hits for 2k

vague viper
#

surely it can’t be 2 hits

stiff obsidian
#

What

fervent radish
#

You can usually get 2 hits on dad

stiff obsidian
#

Problem with Eris is call charges too fast

#

If u don't use call often enough u will end up with greater call

#

Then just zooming around for half a min until it ends

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

yes it is

stone rune
#

yeah its bad

tepid light
#

Zooming around invulnerable for half a min while damaging and knocking away anything that touches you is pretty fun

stiff obsidian
#

you cant reapply eris buff during it

tepid light
#

who cares

#

you're still doing the above

stiff obsidian
#

why would i want to do the above

#

when i can do it better

tepid light
#

because sometimes you just wanna turn your brain off and faceroll things

stiff obsidian
#

thats what the smaller calls are for

tepid light
#

smaller calls, bah

stiff obsidian
#

if you use the greater call at the end u will have 0 smaller calls to fall back on

tepid light
#

greater call master race

latent moon
#

ngl greater pos call feels like a pain in the ass to use lmao

stiff obsidian
#

esp on kbm

latent moon
#

you just knock stuff out of the way and you end up having to chase things across the screen

stiff obsidian
#

its ass

#

exactly

stiff obsidian
#

its best used smaller call when u knock stuff away once and its served its purpose

tepid light
#

SMALLER CALLS

BAH

latent moon
#

against bosses that's not a problem but then you dont have a small call to rely on like false side said

stiff obsidian
#

accidentally used greater call in ely today

latent moon
#

unfortunate

#

was it blue man group

stiff obsidian
#

didnt even kill 2 archers

latent moon
#

it was blue man group 😔

stone rune
#

greater call is inefficient use of call

stiff obsidian
#

it was just 2 archers

latent moon
#

oh lmfao

stiff obsidian
#

i couldnt chase them down

#

stuck in geometry

latent moon
#

deeply unfortunate

#

get kbm-ed

tepid light
#

memes aside i just hate how small calls feel and greater calls inject serotonin directly into my brain

stiff obsidian
#

especially for dio and zeus greater calls are directly detrimental for me

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

i already hate how they block all visibility but thats offset by the damage and iframes

latent moon
#

why is greater zeus bad besides down time between waves

#

bc i'd figure like it wouldn't matter if it was a big wave

stiff obsidian
#

it just blinds me completely and if i accidentally use it in dad fight im just going to die

latent moon
#

greater dio sucking makes sense tho

#

oh lmao

#

visibility moment

stiff obsidian
#

greater athena call calms the nerves tho cant lie

#

iframes without having to worry about them immediately running out in the near future

tepid light
#

also using greater calls means aphro call is very funny

#

i love just chunking dad with a big heart

stiff obsidian
#

greater aphro call removes like 5% of a bosses hp its the most unsatisfying thing in the game

twilit lodge
#

I love making dad stop lasering with small aphro call

tepid light
tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

imagine charging up the entire bar and then watch it do nothing

twilit lodge
#

I literally will never change my name

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

id rather use greater ares call than use greater aphro call

#

ares wil prolly do more damage

latent moon
#

assuming you hit most of them i would think

tepid light
#

i don't hate ares call, i just find it incredibly

wait for it

unsatisfying

stiff obsidian
#

yeah imagine during dad lasers or smth

#

no one likes ares call

tepid light
#

but yeah the most reliable call for me will always be athena

stone rune
#

theres 2 good calls

#

zeus and dad

tepid light
#

pop it and just turn brain off and mash keyboard

stiff obsidian
#

dad call worst call in the whole game

stone rune
#

and zeus isnt that good

stiff obsidian
#

id use literaly anything over it

tepid light
#

i can't see jazz's messages but i'm willing to bet that whatever they are i would heavily disagree with them

stiff obsidian
#

hot garbage

stone rune
#

dad is the only good call

latent moon
#

beo brained moment

stiff obsidian
#

the #1 trash call

#

dad call

tepid light
#

my issue with dad call is the same as my issue with ares call

just too

damned

short

stiff obsidian
#

and does nothing

stone rune
#

my honest 100% dmg boost reaction

stiff obsidian
#

for 2 seconds

twilit lodge
#

My issue with ares call is it’s too long

stiff obsidian
#

id rather have a permanent near 100% boost with eris

stone rune
stiff obsidian
#

yes

stone rune
#

if so i think thats a u problem

stiff obsidian
#

show me ur 2 second boss slot

#

stiff obsidian
#

10/10 for effort

jagged hamlet
#

I love the interactions between the "fun only! nooo optimize!" and "optimize only! nooo fun!" crowds zaglol

stone rune
#

i mean ur not gonna have fun anyways in this game so might as well be fast while ur doing it

stiff obsidian
#

common in most servers

tepid light
#

everyone is on one side of the extreme

jagged hamlet
#

Reminds me of very facetious shenanigans in an old forum that was full of old people. I miss that forum...

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

ive ruined most games for myself by having a hidden fear of playing suboptimally

jagged hamlet
stiff obsidian
#

so like if im playing a new game i keep asking myself 'what if i dont know a critical piece of information and am playing the game wrong' then ill search stuff up

tepid light
#

someone will just say "i have fun with charon" and a bunch of people will dogpile them about unoptimal play

jagged hamlet
#

Well actually it's just jazz zaglol

tepid light

#

subreddit is mostly fine from what ive seen

tepid light
#

I've never actually perused the Hades subreddit

stiff obsidian
#

very few posts are about actual gameplay

tepid light
#

All my exposure to the Hades community has been from this server

#

Which probably says a lot

stiff obsidian
#

most are fanart or some random ahh tatoo

tbf i do try to not be a hardass about people not following the meta

plays artemis strike arthur cause haha

latent moon
#

tepid light
#

unkillable arthur with aphro/athena will always be one of my favorite builds

stiff obsidian
jagged hamlet
#

I will allow that stating Arthur is neither good DPS or damage per hit is decent advice

stiff obsidian
#

actually for chiron week

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

ill try ri0 ap0 em4 chiron with sea storm

stiff obsidian
#

no one does that

#

i have fun with arthur

tepid light
stiff obsidian

for heat

#

not sppeeed

latent moon

yeah arthur is good for heat if you use cursed slash and stack damage reduction

jagged hamlet
stiff obsidian
#

arthur does lots of damage

stiff obsidian
#

arthur in general is just good

latent moon
#

it's one of the most cursed things i've ever seen tbh

stiff obsidian
#

starts to fall of at heroes

tepid light
tepid light
jagged hamlet
#

That's fair. I'm not quite sure why you argue against optimization though tbh

tepid light
#

Well I'm not arguing against it per se, if optimization is what makes things fun for you then by all means

#

And at high heat levels obviously optimization is necessary

stiff obsidian
#

не бегать

#

i keeo forgetting to turn the plugin of

#

u shoyld try doing 50 heat

#

its fun

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

ok then try that

jagged hamlet
#

I suppose so, but the tone you take when people discuss optimal things sorta feels like the opposite side of the coin from jazz (no offense LOL)

#

Very hardcore casual fun if you will

#

Like "raaaaaargh! fuuuuuun!"

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

optimizing fun fr

tepid light
#

I'm trying not to be obnoxious about it anymore myself, but I will state my opinion

stiff obsidian
#

@latent moon i saw u playing dead cells earlier is there anything i should know before i start

jagged hamlet
#

Arthur is a baseball bat

tepid light
#

With a homerun noise every time the third swing crits

jagged hamlet

Like especially when you have Athena attack and a bunch of sloooow projectiles are stacked in your Hallowed Ground 👀

#

what deity do i have to pray to to fix my rng

#

i swear there are divine forces at work preventing me from getting decent runs

jagged hamlet
#

Repent of your vocal hatred of Hades LOL

stone rune
#

they should remove bombers from modded

#

run ending

stiff obsidian
#

play run control

#

literally everything you are asking for

twilit lodge
#

Just go into the game files and delete the bombers

#

This is guaranteed to work

#

Probably

i just want modded anyheat wr

i had fun with chiron and beat em4 with it for like, the first and only time

anyone who plays em4 and uses chiron is excellent

do you ever get to go back to p’s cottage after the 10 win ending or is greece off limits

#

I wanna fish so are the only spots in dad arena

latent moon

you just have to use the fishing spots in the arena yeah

latent moon
#

from what i've heard, stun is really good

vague viper
latent moon
#

idk just play the game and find out i've got no idea how to play it lmao

vague viper

you hit stuff and they get hit stunned anyway

void vigil

i am on em4

#

the only main thing i've got to say about dead cells is that it's a lot better on controller than kbm, but other than that just have fun

stiff obsidian
#

i did play for 2 hours and then kinda quit bc not used to controls

latent moon
#

there's just more buttons that are useful compared to hades

stiff obsidian
#

but i can get used to it

latent moon
#

yeah you can def get used to it on kbm

stiff obsidian
#

i have mouse side buttons

#

sea storm before lernie W

latent moon
#

same it still felt weird but if it works for you then that's fine

vague viper
latent moon
#

oh sea storm on chiron

#

how'd you get sea storm before jolted

stiff obsidian

idk 2nd zeus boon was sea storm no rolls

hi mr dead cells

look through settings so you can adjust it, mainly just turn on hp% and of course anything else to taste

#

damn you

stiff obsidian
#

2nd hammer relentless W

#

first was concentrated

latent moon

i've had dead cells for nearly 2 years at this point and i'm only on "heat 3" lmao im so bad at the game

I got hit with automod cause I said a bad word and had to retype it all

stiff obsidian
#

sounds like hades

vague viper
latent moon
#

ngl im just getting slapped bc every time i play the game it's been at least months before i try again

#

so i have to relearn a lot of things lmao

vague viper
#

oh and if you stick around, invest in the hunter’s showroom and use the grenade whenever you can, you could also scout the wiki for interesting unlocks to chase with said grenade if you really don’t want to be victim to rng

latent moon
vague viper
#

each enemy has their own unlock drop pool but the hunter grenade forces the targeted enemy to drop one, so you can like, go to stage 8 to hunt this one specific enemy for its unlock

latent moon
#

oh wait that's the uh

#

thing

#

yes i misremembered it lmao

#

yeah i should probably do that more often

does jury summons increase gold drops too

vague viper
stiff obsidian
#

OK THANKS

#

caps

#

i dont evne have the game installed tho

#

might start next month

latent moon
#

each room has a gold cap before it stops giving you gold

#

so you're more likely to hit the gold cap with js3

#

but like if you dont take js at all you might not reach the gold cap

#

so like yes and no

#

not die

this is why i play eris

they just die when they shoot

I just got to Theseus' extreme measures fight and I am dying from laughing. It is amazing.

Glad you're enjoying yourself though!

granite mica
#

I'm guessing it's not a popular opinion?

tepid light
#

Most people are terrified, aha

granite mica
#

Well yeah I did die. I got Asterius beforehand so I did know what I was partly up for. But watching the cutscene thinking 'who the hell gave this guy a gun' made me laugh.

mint coral
#

Then get killed by the bull

tepid light
#

I rarely die to Theseus himself but I have many times died to Bull due to getting distracted/zoned off by Theseus

#

I gotta be honest, I don't think I've ever played a more beautiful and well crafted game

#

Dang, high praise

#

Well in the genre I think

Final Fantasy 16 is still like the absolute damn pinnacle of "OH MY GOD THAT'S BEAUTIFUL" in my opinion

oooh if I knew how to do fan art at all...

#

my pfp is literally an AI's answer to the prompt "a god of rage and blood"

I mean I think it nailed it

granite mica
#

I am still dying just because I suddenly notice details in the stages and how well done they are and get distracted from the fight lol

#

I've had the game for ages, I wish I had actually sat down to play it sooner, it's gorgeous and addictive
