play zeus
every aspect has a little bit of a different way of playing so you might like other aspects thats how i enjoyed every weapon
and now i dont wanna try other aspects cuz im set on a few which is kinda bad
Thats the thing! I havent enjoyed any aspect i have tried on the shield.. most i did was doom on the special so i can be lazy lol
Aspect
I meant boon scuse me
Learning pseudotech helped my enjoyment of the bow as a whole immensely 😌
Learning how to play a weapon helps demystify it, making it feel less awkward.
For me its.. the weapons on the left (sword, ect, are my least favorite while the ones on the right are my favorites
idk what to tell you then maybe leave it a bit till you give it a try maybe later you might see something you dont usually do a way of playing the aspect or something like that
actually really weird thing about spear it feels really bad to play but its unironically really good at many things
artemis dash strike isnt worth on fists yea?
Nope
alr
Thats why i follow dark thirst, it forces me to play a specific weapon instead of me staying to one
Given your reaction to the message, I take it you might be missing some knowledge.
There are several so-called "aspects" that get unlocked as soon as you unlock all six weapons and did a run. Many of these aspects fundamentally change what builds the weapon can use. There's something for everyone.
Probably but until i find that knowledge thennn
thats pretty good i tried doing that for a bit but then got bored and started spamming 1 weapon
I suggest moving to #h1-for-new-players , you are bound to encounter spoilers here otherwise
you mentioned something about pseudotech i forgot to ask you about ewhat is that exactly on the bow?
At your own risk 
very short version: cancel your reload animation to instantly shoot another arrow
I have beaten the game multiple times with over 100 runs.. and i can still say i dont like those weapons
I wish i was exaggerating
I need a life lol
and you don't have aspects?
with a dash? can you tell me run through the inputs if you dont mind
On this save file, yes but i dont unlock them.. with the shield i dont like any of them except zags
long version:
Every weapon is a state machine. Some transformations from one state to another are possible, and some are not.
Doing a dashstrike puts you in the DS state. After releasing the dashstrike, starting a special will put you in the specialing state. From there, before the animation has time to start, do a standing strike.
I don't remember precisely but i think after your dash attack, press and hold your attack button then instantly tap the special button
the input was something like that
(Just press attack and special at the same time)
oh so like dash attack into special then immediately attack right after
less immediately and more simultaneously
If im using persephones keepsake.. is it worth going into pom rooms?
alr yea
really dependant
On rng and what the keepsake hits?
yes i you get bad rng and didnt get many pom hits on your main damage source it might be worth going into pom rooms if the other options isnt very neccessary
but it also depends on the other options a lot
So if im not through tartarus yet and ny attack is already level 3
then if the other god is good its more worth taking that
“Maybe I’m not giving Artemis enough credit, I’m enjoying this Artemis build-“
pops a death defied to Meg
“Nevermind”
id take the money tbh
especially if you have underworld customs on it might help you later
When that happens i want to delete the game xD
happens
i lost 3 death defiances to a miniboss once
Oof
I do that against the (not) mini boss room with like 8 armoured projectiles people in asphodel
IMO Artemis is great if you already have 3 gods that work well together and don’t want to mess up their cohesion but isn’t great to build around. But my first three boons were her so oh well
witch miniboss
yea it can be rough
My build is weird so far.. ares attack, aphro special, zeus cast, and wine guy dash
I have no plans but
it can be great if you have other modifiers to boost the damage of the weapon your using something like chaos
thats how it is
Mannn!! I almost no hit tisphone but then she did her projectiles while meg summoned a pillar, i was trapped!
divine dash starting to feel a little bit boring to just take everyrun ngl
Hades but you can only dash
you can just attack the projectiles and they'll disappear
thatas a video if i recall correctly
Dash only is a speedrun category
Thats probably why i know it lol
duo dash boons 
Nah
I know but i have gotten into the habit of dashing during Tisiphone projectiles because i usually get hit when trying to attack it (im to lazy to time the attack but i will time the dash lol)
New run hope I get either Dionysus or Athena
the speedrun would be like 1min if we had those
just force em out
Oh let’s go got one of my favorite hammers first thing
I’m trying to upgrade my shawl rn
LETS GO DIONYSUS
Okay dionysus attack or ares attack? (Level 3) (no boons working with either)
12 24 36 for last room of floors right?
What weapon
can be extended by some rooms
Gauntlets
N
Dionysus it’s my go to gauntlet boon
No
Those are the last combats
Yes
idk if im taking either but its up to you just experiment
so the room after is free when i see that number im trynna say
For gauntlets it’s best to take something that stacks and/or hits instantly and doom does neither of those
We got 1 vote wine dude.. SomeNoob whats your vote
Yeah
13/23/37 will be the shop or a free reward
alr gotchu
Somenoob! Wine dude attack or ares attack on gauntlets
I like dio cuz I hate merciful end
Right.. wine dude does that and ares can do that if you get the right boon
Democracy has spoken! Wine dude it is
Much more likely from Dionysus
That said, I’m starting to really like Demeter for gauntlets as well. Frozen + decay on primary is nice
So 13/23/35 for your end shops
so 13 23 35 are free rewards or shop?
Whats your guys go to grab from Eurydice
Sameee
thats a little confusing actually
i havent gotten used to the numbers
12 22 34 is last combat youre saying
Yeah
just need to confirm that and im good
End shop is just what we call the shop before the boss of a place
Middle shop is the first one
SON OF A BEACH… i got hit with a dusa projectile when a lava ball landed on me
yea alr
the dusa mini boss might be harder than hades for me
i think they are tied or burning my dds
The only time these numbers won't match are due to niche situations
Also am I not understanding Blessed by the Gods? I can guarantee you I’ve taken 100 boons but I don’t have the achievement
If you take a chaos gate or Erebus gate at 12/22 you'll create what's called an extension
athena t2 boons over aphros everyday?
mainly chaos or eribus
The amount of panic when i think i dodged and then get turned into to stone is enough to give me a heart attack xD
Those two normally skip a chamber usually, an extension adds +1 to the chamber count
So if you take chaos on chamber 12, chaos becomes chamber 13, shop 14 then furies at 15
and you get hit with the slam for 1k damage i love it
Then last combat for aspho and elysium are now 23/35
special rooms can be connect to boss rooms yea?
i think so
When im fighting the elyseium
Happy place
And get hit by the spear
I scream
Can't go chaos/erebus into the boss of the biome
when you have forced overtime 2 and the big cartwheel starts charging at you at the speed of light
i meant sisyphys patrolcus and the other one
Speaking of which HOW TF do you deal with the chariots big and small with the gauntlets.. i cant do itt i get hut everytimeee
either a dash or long knuckles
I got Divine Dash it’s so over
Is like dodging asterius's charge
I HATE THOSE THINGS
DESTROY THEM ALL
athenas t2s over aphros t2s?
I have the festive fog
Do this then
Just lead them around to any pillar/wall you can dash through
I would rathwr fighttt EVERY BOSS at the same time then those fluffers
With big chariots, assuming they are unarmored
Just do your attack combo > dash strike > continue
Should stagger them to death
For armored lead them to walls or dash through them so they chill out for a sec and chip at them
Or click funny breaching cross hammer
Be careful what you wish for 
Ultra barge mod
Im not console sooo cant do mods ha!
Oh gawd not more chariots
how many times do normal poison spitters spit at you?
the satyrs? once
armored ones shoot three
the miniboss one will chain you up and force you to watch as it torments your loved ones
I got all the crap boons from Poseidon after using a death defied on trial of the gods I think I just sunk my run
and they both cant be staggered right?
sounds about right
yes they can, for the armored ones you just have to strip their armor bar first
Patroclus replenished all my death defied we’re so back
they usually got a shot out between every hestia shot so i thought they might not be able to get staggered
oh yeah that's a railgun thing, you can't stagger enemies with the railgun attack
I still fear the little rodent more than anything in the game.. i like physically cant go into mini boss fights if normal tunnels are still there
i don't remember if it includes Hestia's powershot though 🤔
oh thats a little bit of good balancing
it might but i also cant confirm since i dont pay much attention
high chance to get better boons
sometimes you clear a miniboss faster than normal rooms
depending on the build
consider it more tbh
unfortunately miniboss rooms are faster than normal rooms
is asterious really faster than normal rooms tho?
oh no he's an exception
Hes so adorable and nice
Tony is also slower
The biggest time loss for minibosses is prob barge
barge? which one wa that
Asphodel miniboss
is it an in-game thing btw? i haven't fought him so long i may have been gaslit by this community 😭
“The barge of death” i believe
Nah is a community thing
the big dusa head with the large rock?
Happened in old speedcord I think?
Almost got the achievement for not taking any damage... Almost... But I'm way too reckless
Boney boat
ohhh
just enable middle management! 😃 👍

doesnt meg make this like just as easy as other minibosses or nah
MM barge is faster, just slow down every other miniboss lol
COME AT ME HADES RAHHHHH
Nop
Normal barge is 3 waves of enemies
MM barge is a big shield crystal and spawning enemies
oh i have middle management on
and im guessing its not worth turning on middle management for that to be faster cuz it makes others slower
Yeah lol
unfortunate
Styx hits you with double minibosses
you also turn on tight deadline on speedruns yea?
rta
Rta yes
thats pretty cool
It removes survival rooms in tartarus
Which pause in game timer so for igt you keep it off
yea
STOPP with the spear stab dammit
400hp trol
Heheheheh ima go insane… hades second phase starts he sends out the wave and i decide to walk into it losing a death defiance 😂😭
It was my first death defiance so im chillin but dang it
Victoryyyy!!!
Okay ny best clear time this save file is 24 minutes
hades can start a combo from the spin attack
thats pretty unfortunate
he also does damage dashing to his spear correct?
Charm will cause repeated moves after it ends
threw me off heavy
Often without the animation
so he does the moves but they dont come out while he is in the charm state
It took me awhile to realize hades is using zagreus moves but slower.. second phase? Thats just a death defiance, he dashes, laser beam of lava? Bloodstone.. you use the spear you stab and spin.. what does hades do?
Wait no the skulls is the bloodstone
Yeah was gonna say lol
yea lmao
So the laser beam is… the special?
Laser feels call coded for me
Em4 ||also adds a companion||
Oh truee
the fight is not difficult if i take it slow with em4 but the thing is i need to do it with FO2 which makes it a different beast
Fo2 super dad is insane
not even mentioning MM
i find myself not bothering to dodge and just run away which makes me run into stupid situations
didnt think of it tht way lmao thats pretty cool
MM doesn't work on super dad btw
super dad?
If his summons were affected by MM you'd see the B.ball do the dash or the head crusher/Mario enemy thing do the waves after it slams
but are they stronger from mm?
ok ok
yea i remember he doesnt do the shockwave after slamming yet i still instinctively dodge it lmao
The head crushers are funny
They can pierce through the acorn keepsake for no reason
Sometimes
once you lose the tempo in hades things just get messy
thats lovely
also do they just have tp built in or is that the pact of punishment adding curses to armored foes
hades without summons is 10times easier tbh
he keep talking bout how im boosted cuz of the olympians
ig like father like son
I wanna player numero 2… why isnt it on console! Rahhhh
I guess i will stick with the like best game ever ugh
pesudotech with the bow actually feels really good wtf
so like the main combo would be dash attack attack then repeat
well yea you gotta make sure you dont get hit
and the perfect shot timing is off a bit but you can get used to it fairly easily
still good for swarm rooms if you dont have a dash maybe
i can see good usage
is peer pressure fake?
Peer pressure bad
concentrated volley or relentless volley?
im more of a relentless but im not sure which is better in numbers
RI1 or AP1
i had both of em for JS0
but im thinking of going JS2 to remove one
cuz i usually have enough time with TD3 anyways
whats the best build for nemesis?
ME
i think going for crit on the attack isnt bad also
if you dont wanna build into a duo boon
artemis that is
I would just recommend a standard crit build but alright
ME isn’t bad
Just weaker when you don’t have it
Can you still get 32 heat trophy while on god mode?
I think so
Ok
yes, godmode doesn't block any progression
just got edged by aphrodite 3 times
now i dont have an attack boon and im at styx
maybe ap1 isnt as good as i thought
it might be doable if i find a good shop item maybe its running low on time and im getting unlucky
dark foresight or uhhh other one
Dark foresight
and fam fav?
Overwhelmingly
For 99% of builds yeah
dude every single attack boon is getting crossed off lmaooo

AP1 is one of the worst options you could turn on
Probably
i need the healing
no attack boon
I haven’t used em4 in like 4 years
i got like no chaos no attack boon no life no family
No attack boon depends on the weapon tbh but generally bad
it takes like 4 to 5 mins depending on the build
hestia
What is this pact 
what exactly
EM4 AP1 there had to have been better options if it wasn’t 50 heat
running 40 heat em3 ap1
no i aint running em4 thats insane
especiall for like 40heat
wdym 3 phases
i ran em4 for 32practice
.
missinput
Depends on everything else you have tbh
i legit tried going for ares attack which i think is probably worse than base damage right?
not exactly?
fo2 not gonna help me rn
it has some use
i alr have it on the special
i have a chaos modifier for undamaged foes
yep i got this
Ares on strike with hestia does like shred armour w/ strike and doom drop on the hp bar
But
I wouldn’t really build it
i like ares on the special
eh
there’s a reason curse of longing isn’t on my radar 
Yeah if it’s regular hades you should be fine~
Actually idk if you’re outputting 34k damage in 3:11
W/ no strike boons on hesty
Learn Stubborn Def w/ LC4 💔
like something is wrong with me
but i die like 3 times to hades
Nothing is wrong with you, it does in fact take more attempts to beat harder and harder pacts
like

give yourself time
was running JS1 for less RI
its really all about hades imma be honest
and its hard to get used to the timings at FO2
lmao trol
to get used to it
it’s an adjustment you can make and then just not turn off fo2 again after
that sounds like something i should do
cuz it’s beneficial for speedrunning as well if you ever want to try your hand at that
or i could just run FO1 and more RI 💀
i really should do that to get better times in my avg high heat run but its not something i wanna do
You should not need ri for 40 heat
i mean hestia doesnt even need setup
2 core boons id really love
and other than that its not a big deal
It’s not even better times for high heat it’s just you get used to it and then keep it on
Like
Td
Although you do turn off td for speed
stubborn defiance is way harder than you make it sound to be
althought i wouldnt have a problem doing it but hades is the big problem
i need less hard labor more LC maybe
i was running LC1 this run
It’s hard but it’s not resort to RI or AP instead hard 
hmm
i really dont know tbh im postponing stubborn really hard hades isnt that hard of a fight unless i panic it
my question is
would you run SD for 40 heat
I learned SD on 32 and then took it up to 40
like my 32 heat pacts pretty much all had hl5/lc4/fo2
sd is more of a room clear mirror option
it always clicked that way for me
till im doing like JS4 or whatever the max is i never touched it before it doesnt sound neccessary
Yeah and at 32 and 40 I found the avg room is a bigger problem than the bosses 
JS3 +60% enemies 💔
its really good to just pin that down as soon as possible
I think like
see thats the diference
is there a speedrun catagory for that trol
Don’t learn SD and FO2 at the same time
do one and then the other
otherwise you make it too hard for yourself and die before you get proper experience
im running fo2 since like 32 heat
even my 8 heat run had it for like experimenting with different heat settings
im pretty used to it till i get a mass skull room with the clone modifier than is enclosed
with hestia
they have blue shields
and tp
Pretty much the posterboy for why Hesty needs tidal dash
Other than styx, styx is a bigger reason
yk what fk it im running sd just one more attempt without it before
it does stagger enemies?
it kills enemies
poseidon is pretty good to have for purging boons
and hestia doesnt stagger so it might be the angle
tidal dash is your on-demand small fry clearing tbh
It’s a load of damage w/ good aoe
you do need to pom focus it a bit no?
alr yea ill go for it if i get the god
tbh if I was running Hesti I’d probably shoe them in asphodel or maybe even tartarus if I didn’t care which +% goddess was on my strike
w/ his keepsake
Cuz Hestia doesn’t really have a quick aoe option if you don’t find rocket bomb, and you can’t use rocket bomb multiple times in rapid succession
hestia does one shot most enemies in tartarus so it might not be bad
i just dont wanna do it right away just to get a feel for tidal dash
Hestia oneshots most tartarus enemies but is it really worth it to waste a hestia shot on a numbskull
Rather than just dashing into a crowd of them
yea i get what your saying
aphro strike got crossed off into poseidons dash getting crossed off
good run so far uhm
why is it possible to have aphros boon on but not get any aphro boons the whole floor
is that just insanely bad luck or what
i had plenty of boon rooms
and no aphro options
Where can I send images
if its a victory screen you have the #h1-victory-boasting
It’s a tier list lol
i mean you are free to send it where ever
How do I get image perms then
oh i use imgur on google so i didnt know you needed those not sure
Use embeds
Send it to a dm then right click > copy link
anywhere as long as it's sent as an image link
i feel like jury summons 1 would overall be faster
this is what you get for running ap1
unless im overestimating CP1
im trynna remove that rn lmao
I feel like JS1 guarantees that you have to make more strikes because you have to deal with more enemies
There is a small screen rec I made when I was playing in the mobile of the time when I was giving Nectar to Skully
while cp1 can be remedied with chaos
still convinced its not hard but im getting mega unlucky especially without rerolls running RI with AP isnt the greatest idea i have to admit
with ri1 and ap you often just end up bashing your end into a wall hoping for better rng
with dd that is cuz i need 300more for sd rn
When I ran ap1 for 40 heat I just ended up scorning ap1 everytime it crossed out what I wanted
which felt like all the time
yea thats not my favourite way of playing
first few runs i had with it were lucky so i had a better idea
also any idea how you aim meg companion on keyboard i just got it
once I turned it off and just ran like em3 instead I can't remember what I turned on ngl I was able to hit my builds again and like
atp the only thing to blame is myself and I can improve
you werent running em3 for 40heat?
wow
-----PLEASE READ------
We did it everyone, we finally got there, the meg guide is out!

Very sp...
you have those guides saved?
so just run cp1 instead of js sounds good
tbh atp I've sent enough things that I can look at my own sent links and pull out 95% of what I need and then I rely on like somenoobdying for the other 5%
trol
I don't like em3 asterius at fo2
his beyblade attack just makes you have to stop playing the game on melee weapons
Mort is best, sue me
it can be rough with minimal movement
EM3 is just a deadline draining hassle that usually costs a DD or 2
just focus other guy no?
Mort just doesn't win out in the speed or heat arguements
I can't say anything for those who enjoy the big number
its pretty annoying nevertheless
even once Theseus is down
it's like
annoying
asphodel timesave for me is pretty good to make floor3 playaable without running out of time
I don't like it so I avoid em3
but yea i ran out of time once there its pretty annoying
but like not in a million years im taking more lc over em3
thats bold asf
what's lc again?
no healing
lasting consequences
Basically, you start with the pact
lmao
lmao
trol
There's also a permanent pact turned on at the bottom, that stops your innate damage invincibility
ik there is an extra modifier but what else is it
That's it
after dd
like the iframes you get
there are also i frames on normal damage
Very miniscule though
Try stand in front of hammer wretches in Tartarus to test it
A group tho
so if you get caugh in a combo of one of those asphodel skeletons your kinda fked
but you are fked anyways even without hellmode
Yeah or in the bomb miniboss in Tartarus
you start with 5 pact options automatically turned on
and you can't turn them off
5??
iirc it's the first 4 at level 1
so hl1, lc1, cf1, js1
and the hellmode only pact Personal Liability
js means that loyalty card is even more necessary
Charon is gonna be eating good I guess
js1 ew
for most weapons
unless you suddenly love arthur or Rama, it is
DC is free for like eris and I've run out of fingers to count on
on some weapons sure i understand
Only Arthur, Rama, and Hestia actually are affected
it like doubles the average number of bow-shots you need to kill most enemies
but free is like UC CF EX2 a
that is such a lie
MM too, except in Asphodel
yea mm is not that bad
Tell that to the old me still trying to fight the gorgon head and the rock
dude IVE LOST ALL 3 OF DDS ON THAT MINIBOSS
its genuinely probably the easiest miniboss
power couple
oh that was not meant to be a reply
you just wanna finish it really fast you start choking
I typed something out and then deleted it and forgot to unreply
dc on rama is free no?
isnt rama the shared suffering weapon
It's what Zag describes the miniboss as to Hypnos right?
the special can take out the shields easily
yeah but even then you now have to use shared suffering on every enemy
where before you didn't have to if you had your breakpoints down
Yk some people do Rama Special only runs?
Insanity imo
Yes but it's a matter of you didn't have to use it and now you actually literally have to use it on every enemy
that sounds like suffering
so it's not free, you do have to alter your playstyle
Can we all agree the most broken build is Merciful End Zag Fists with Plume?
not when bugowulf and eris exist
dude i never understood the eris hype
iirc yeah lemme check the heat leaderboards
mind you i havent tried it
it buffs EVERYTHING
i mean it just doesnt sound that insane
it's almost like a +75% global damage buff is insane
i did see a clip of eris legit melting a room in 2nanoseconds
75% applies to your Zeus lightning too btw?
but idk
youre only using the attack for that bonus tho
that's what global additive means
unless you waant a cast build with eris which idk how viable that sounds
Thanks
you get it on your strike, your special, your dash, your lightning strikes, your call
75% of 13
Hunting Blades is always viable anywhere
and of the 22 on Zeus lightning
75% of lightning, jolted, strike, tidal dash,
all together
add up
massively
Pair that with Chaos and jerky
jolted is also like 50% of your damage on lightning strike builds
double strike
especially if you get the dem duo
nah that's lightning bolts
this is chain lightning
Weird, ik, but there's a diff
double strike is good on any zeus build what??
you can't get double strike on atk
double strike doesn't do anything for lightning strike wdym
it's special or dash, or aid
it only affects lightning bolts not chain lightning
guys why do I only have images prior to my 40 heat win and after my 40 heat win
I've been looking for it to find my pact
doesnt double strike combo really well with jolted?
on special, yeah
double strike doesn't affect jolted
hmm damn
idk man i don't have your SSD hidden here
BTW i js finished 16 all weapons, what do I do now?
nah I'm looking harder now
I did that on Fist, Rail and Bow, the rest are hopeless
Know any broken builds for them?
Shield is objectively speaking the easiest tbf lmao
Zeus or Beo?
Guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies
Love taking cp1 and ri1 10 heats earlier than normal
I did find it eventually
its for the cause
iirc there was a ton of either glare or brightness that made it unreadable so I put a ton of filters on it
you really took js2 and hs
I know hs has big problems however
I got so used to killing myself in the magma that it felt wrong without it ngl
like
to pop my sd
my biggest problem is that i lag at lernies bossfight
its really bad so he just tps and slams my ahh
yeah the purple head sucks for heat tbh
hs gonna be a 50 thing but thats not happening anytime soon
gotta love randomly trynna setup pact setup for 50 heat knowing damn well sht aint happening
when you break it down to +75% to any individual part it seems less important
but it's +75% to every strike, every attached lightning strike, and rail shoots pretty fast. its +75% to jolted, which is a pretty large number, and also +75% to tidal dash, which is a high number w/ good aoe. It's +75% to your call, be it zeus or dionysus or someone less damaging
it's +75% to your special, and you can get a ton of hammers that boost the damage and quantity of your specials
if you take Eris for granted you may as well take Hyper Sprint -> Rush Delivery for granted and that's a damage boost pretty much every aspect and their mom would kill to have in a run
didnt know its attached to every chained strike
that doesnt seem balanced
it's a global damage boost
thought theyd take the first number of damage and then apply a % to cut from the first strike damage to deal to the chainned foes
oh for chain lightning?
yea
chain lightning does 80% of the damage for each subsequent foe
so
80% -> 64%
but
lmao rush delivery on that is nutso brain
it's 80% of the initial number so you do (lightning damage plus all global additive) * 80%^(amount of foes it's hit already)
also if you had to choose selling tidal dash demeter special or aphros attack (you have hazzard bomb)
hmm
ngl probably dem special
I'd just rather keep my strike damage and tidal dash
Guys where can I find builds for malphon fists
my tidal dash is level 2
so sure
ill trust you on this one
really wanted to get rid of tidal
it's mainly like
a lightning strike focused one, a drunken strike focused one and MErciful end
I talked about this last night I can just grab the same stuff
trol
gods legacy and fated persuasion is good?
or should i lean for epic rarity increase
wait is the 80% of the special additive or multiplicitive
My build rn is just a switch between Athena ares and artimis
over the 300% from hazzard
depends on what youre shooting for in a build they are both good you can check out mirror guide on youtube
also yes fated is the better option
gods pride and fated persuasion
for like
90% of builds
some builds need the duos that badly, but for most builds the rarity on your strike, and hermes boons and chaos boons is more important and you can either find the duos later
oh gosh
do i need to spend 5 on the individual weapon
just use the guide pinned in #h1-story-discussion
why did haelian say 50/50 between both
it's going to depend on what part you're at
i mean i personally prefer gods pride
it depends on your outlook I think
ah thanks
16 healing from the well brooooooo 😭
it depends on how many builds your weighing in, and the importance you put on getting the duo for each build
he do be trynna spam broken build
and the others need five on same one
builds*
see so he probably likes the consistency of finding the duos more so he can make the content
but for like
general play
getting the duo with an epic curse of agony is like
usuallygoing to do like 75-50% more damage over the course of a run than a ME build with a common curse of agony
depending on how many poms you get
yea pretty understandable tho i didnt wanna give my opinion on that since it did conflict with someone better than me
from my perspective it's like, whether I'm doing heat or speedrunning
if I have a run where my really important things have good rarity scaling
and I need a duo
a run is going to go significantly better if I find the duo with the epic boons
you just run ap1 anyways
than if I find the duo with common boons
yea thats a good point
so like my run might hit the duo, but I might not have the raw stats I want for a fast enough completion, or the raw stats I need for heat
wait isnt LC3 without sd is just a throw?
also rarity on hermes and chaos is just massive
last time i saw an epic chaos boon was in 1998
chaos and hermes have worse rarity odds
so buffing them is more impactful
I don't entirely follow
im almost dead is asphodel
oh like lc3 with dd's
I think I've done that
ok but you are miles better than me
im 1 hp and just got rush delievery thats so sad this run gonna die
UNLESS patrocles shows up
wAIT do you know if patroclus is guaranteed when burning the contract achillies signed?
story rooms are never guaranteed
unlucky
yeb its cooked
that's possibly one of my silliest 32 pacts
you legit did your firsst 32 on your second clear
thats highk insane
second clear on my second save file*
just died to magma
oh
I wanted to see how early I could do it
atp I'd just learn to do Fresh File
trolling
the window is increased
you have 60% more time
to release after the powershot window
and it'll still count
32 is so much less restrictive its insane
before you have to start playing "so this is the lesser of 2 evils"
with your pacts
the rest you have to turn on are just annoying
I guess you could reasonably put the number at 36 with hl5 and em3
but
eh
I don't find em3 fun
My tierlist/meme
lowkey what even uses demeter athena and dionysus together
This isn’t together, I just like them equally
braindamage
I can maybe see this being chiron aside from aphro being in c and arte being in b
mmm
rail but it's weird because zeus and ares are lower than the other three
every weapon would have hermes in S so I don't really factor him in here at all
zeus probably best god tbh
it's like putting a hammer in S tier
What is even the point of aphro? Like what does she specialize in that other gods dont also do
I could see it being demeter fists if you really loved drunken strike but knew about ares and zeus strike, and prefered athena/demeter over aphrodite special
slow hitting high base damage weapons id say
high number always fun
Ah
aphro has the largest +% of strike and special, the weaken debuff is extremely powerful and she opens good duos for crit builds
something like the hidden sword aspect
and smouldering air is always good
like all you need is an aphro boon anywhere and zeus call and you're set
I’ll say none of you have guessed it
yea not even mentioning the duo potential
Guys what is actually the best call?
zeus, dionysus, and hades for dps
zeus and dionysus are easily splashable on anything
Hades is mainly for castpect damage
Gotta go, the answer was ||Talos||
How does Hades work with Smoldering?
it doesn't
oh I can see that
What was the question?
oh there was a question i missed it
dude but every time i see that 10hp on the fountain its just depressing
arthur, nemesis, guan-yu special, zeus special, regular shields (zag and chaos) strikes, zag bow, chiron, hera, rama, fist special w/ zeus or dionysus on strike, every single rail on special
ahpro is balanced
everything is viable for the part of the game 98% of gamers are going to experience
0-20 heat and you could argue 0-32 heat as well
dio is arguable
32 heat+ and speedrunning are where game balance really falls apart but likeeee that is bound to happen
wdym by this
i am forming my opinion on weapon limits so its kinda bad
to be used by many players
dio is like my fav god but he also is the least useful one
strong drink and premium vintage are nice secondary boons
dio and zeus duo isnt that bad
strong drink is free global additive and premium vintage just complements me not taking max hp boosts when I'm speedrunning
still probably the weakest of the t2 boons
2 of them are great and 2 of them are decent-eh
I think I'd take strong drink or premium vintage over any ares t2 depending on the weapon
of course some wewapons would prefer battle rage
but like battle rage is not proccing on eris
that +200% damage is bound to be on a 10 damage strike
and not a special
so strong drink would go a lot farther for purely having global additive, and premium vintage is really nice cuz it's essentially a free pom w/ extra max hp attached, and almost a guarantee for future max hp

by Haelian
I believe
nope
there is a more recent one
60
61
Playad
hestia has higher heat record so its better therefore any opinions are hestia are more accurate
pretty crazy
do they have a list for heat records with videos or no
point me to where Hestia is higher
there you go
can i get the list
ty
bruh
ok I'll send the modded on later
for heats completed w/ the speedrun modpack
100 64 heat runs on that
I should ask Timothy if he's ever around in the speedrunning discord if he thinks that zag bow 60 would be easier or harder than his chiron 60 moddede
8 damage per second on the poison holy sht
cuz as far as I'm aware the reason that chiron has a 60 heat completion at all is just because he's so cracked
lmao
it's his only modded submission
he has 1 modded submission
he has no unmodded submissions
he literally came in just to do the 60 heat w/ chiron on modded and dipped from heat
legendary
he's mainly a heat speedrunner it seems
timothy moment
im pretty sure he's done a lot of heat
but they're not like records or anythign so he didnt' submit them
i remember him doing rama speed 50 heat at one point
is the dude who has 1st place modded 50, 2nd place modded 40, and 3rd place modded 32
him
or 40 idk but rama speed heat
btw the 61 heat eris run is effectively 64 heat with less rng lmfao
playad is an extremely talented player and the only reason why he didn't do 64 unmodded eris is bc resetting takes way too long, so ap1 instead of ap2 is an extremely understandable pick
also considering most people don't run 61 heat, they always save ri for last and keep ap2 on the whole time
yea nobody wants to sit through it
I think playing modded if you can is totally justifiable like
it's only ever like 60 -> 62, never 61
unmodded means you reset like 10x as much at least
playad already did 64 modded eris anyways so he doesn't need to prove he can do it unmodded lmao
genuinely unreal player
he did guan yu 64 like wtf
playad seems really cool now just hand him zag bow and have him go at it so I don't have to tell people chiron technically beats it out in heat gameplay 🙏
zeus, rama, guan yu, and eris
all modded
he did zeus and rama unmodded
only unmodded rama ever
and probably will ever unless someone wants to put in a couple thousand hours into rama
whatss the next closest weapon to 64
can't wait for Cherry to do gilgamesh 64
ok but if you had to choose
fist
it's just better use of lightning strike
but 1 dash is gonna be hella painful
if we had to choose from all the aspects?
I mean which aspects have all done it?
zeus, rama, guan-yu, eris
If I had to pick the next, it'd probably beeeeee zag bow or zag rail I'm ngl
rng into +1 dash, jolted, dio/zeus call or pos call + riptide, good poms
and not horrendous rooms
and long knuckle
and probably breaching cross
oh damn the list goes down to 32 thats pretty cool
zag shield looks like it has potential with a 62 heat completion though
luci prob has the most dps out of the remaining aspects but is generally considered unsafe and really difficult
i meant which aspect is the closest to doing it
maybe achilles
beo and zag both have 62
no one's trying
unironically
beo does not have a 62
or
who got past ri3 lmao
