Its not that i cant work with the weapons just theres things i dont like… like with the shield, how he it pushes enemies away.. i know how to follow and chase them i just hate having to do so

naive flicker
#

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

hot bloom
#

Aspect

#

I meant boon scuse me

lavish sorrel
#

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.

hot bloom
#

For me its.. the weapons on the left (sword, ect, are my least favorite while the ones on the right are my favorites

naive flicker
#

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?

latent moon
#

Nope

naive flicker
#

alr

Good thiing im not new lol

#

I just not into like min maxing

naive flicker
#

you mentioned something about pseudotech i forgot to ask you about ewhat is that exactly on the bow?

hot bloom
#

So i just do with what i vibe

#

And i dont vibe with the shield or spear or sword lol

lavish sorrel

#

I wish i was exaggerating

#

I need a life lol

indigo badge
#

and you don't have aspects?

naive flicker
hot bloom
lavish sorrel
indigo badge
#

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

lavish sorrel
#

(Just press attack and special at the same time)

naive flicker
#

oh so like dash attack into special then immediately attack right after

indigo badge
#

less immediately and more simultaneously

hot bloom
#

If im using persephones keepsake.. is it worth going into pom rooms?

naive flicker
#

alr yea

hot bloom
#

On rng and what the keepsake hits?

naive flicker
#

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

hot bloom
#

So if im not through tartarus yet and ny attack is already level 3

naive flicker
#

then if the other god is good its more worth taking that

hot bloom
#

Its gold

#

Coins

“Maybe I’m not giving Artemis enough credit, I’m enjoying this Artemis build-“

pops a death defied to Meg

“Nevermind”

naive flicker
#

id take the money tbh

#

especially if you have underworld customs on it might help you later

hot bloom
naive flicker
#

i lost 3 death defiances to a miniboss once

primal compass
#

Oof

hot bloom
primal compass
#

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

naive flicker
#

yea it can be rough

hot bloom
#

My build is weird so far.. ares attack, aphro special, zeus cast, and wine guy dash

#

I have no plans but

naive flicker
naive flicker
hot bloom
#

Mannn!! I almost no hit tisphone but then she did her projectiles while meg summoned a pillar, i was trapped!

naive flicker
#

divine dash starting to feel a little bit boring to just take everyrun ngl

hot bloom
#

Hades but you can only dash

indigo badge
naive flicker
mint coral
#

Dash only is a speedrun category

hot bloom
naive flicker
mint coral
#

Nah

hot bloom
primal compass
#

New run hope I get either Dionysus or Athena

naive flicker
#

the speedrun would be like 1min if we had those

naive flicker
primal compass
#

Oh let’s go got one of my favorite hammers first thing

primal compass
#

LETS GO DIONYSUS

hot bloom
#

Okay dionysus attack or ares attack? (Level 3) (no boons working with either)

naive flicker
#

12 24 36 for last room of floors right?

primal compass
#

What weapon

naive flicker
#

can be extended by some rooms

hot bloom
stiff obsidian

No

For gauntlets it’s best to take something that stacks and/or hits instantly and doom does neither of those

hot bloom
#

We got 1 vote wine dude.. SomeNoob whats your vote

mint coral
#

13/23/37 will be the shop or a free reward

naive flicker
#

alr gotchu

mint coral
#

Oh wait @naive flicker

#

Last combat ely is 34

#

36 is heroes

hot bloom
#

Somenoob! Wine dude attack or ares attack on gauntlets

mint coral
#

I like dio cuz I hate merciful end

hot bloom
hot bloom
primal compass
#

Much more likely from Dionysus

That said, I’m starting to really like Demeter for gauntlets as well. Frozen + decay on primary is nice

mint coral
naive flicker
hot bloom
#

Whats your guys go to grab from Eurydice

mint coral
#

Nectar

#

Like 90% of the time

hot bloom
#

Sameee

naive flicker
#

thats a little confusing actually

#

i havent gotten used to the numbers

#

12 22 34 is last combat youre saying

mint coral
#

Yeah

naive flicker
#

just need to confirm that and im good

mint coral
#

End shop is just what we call the shop before the boss of a place

#

Middle shop is the first one

hot bloom
#

SON OF A BEACH… i got hit with a dusa projectile when a lava ball landed on me

naive flicker
#

i think they are tied or burning my dds

mint coral
primal compass
#

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

mint coral
naive flicker
#

athena t2 boons over aphros everyday?

naive flicker
hot bloom
mint coral
#

So if you take chaos on chamber 12, chaos becomes chamber 13, shop 14 then furies at 15

naive flicker
mint coral
naive flicker
#

i think so

hot bloom
#

Happy place

#

And get hit by the spear

#

I scream

mint coral
naive flicker
#

when you have forced overtime 2 and the big cartwheel starts charging at you at the speed of light

naive flicker
hot bloom
#

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

mint coral
#

For the flamewheels (small) dash through walls

#

They'll blow themselves up

naive flicker
#

either a dash or long knuckles

primal compass
#

I got Divine Dash it’s so over

mint coral
#

Is like dodging asterius's charge

flint imp
#

DESTROY THEM ALL

mint coral
#

Most casts are enough too

#

Or your special

naive flicker
#

athenas t2s over aphros t2s?

hot bloom
mint coral
#

Just lead them around to any pillar/wall you can dash through

hot bloom
mint coral
#

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

lavish sorrel
mint coral
#

Ultra barge mod

hot bloom
#

Oh gawd not more chariots

naive flicker
#

how many times do normal poison spitters spit at you?

indigo badge
#

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

primal compass
#

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

naive flicker
indigo badge
primal compass
#

Patroclus replenished all my death defied we’re so back

naive flicker
#

they usually got a shot out between every hestia shot so i thought they might not be able to get staggered

indigo badge
hot bloom
indigo badge
#

i don't remember if it includes Hestia's powershot though 🤔

naive flicker
naive flicker
naive flicker
#

sometimes you clear a miniboss faster than normal rooms

#

depending on the build

#

consider it more tbh

indigo badge
naive flicker
#

is asterious really faster than normal rooms tho?

indigo badge
#

oh no he's an exception

naive flicker
#

if you get the pink ball its a lot fasster but that i think its comparable

#

yea

hot bloom
#

Hes so adorable and nice

mint coral
#

Tony is also slower

hot bloom
#

I love talking to him

#

Tony?!

mint coral
#

Tony the vermin

#

Typo of tiny vermin that stuck around

hot bloom
#

Ohhhh okay okay

#

Got itt lol

mint coral
#

The biggest time loss for minibosses is prob barge

hot bloom
#

But i like the barge

#

Its so fun

naive flicker
#

barge? which one wa that

hot bloom
indigo badge
hot bloom
#

“The barge of death” i believe

naive flicker
mint coral
#

Happened in old speedcord I think?

hot bloom
#

The boat

mint coral
#

^

#

You get multiple encounters of normal enemies

naive flicker
#

wait huuuuuuuh

#

i have no clue what the boat is referring to

hot bloom
#

Sheettt i nerfed myself on accident

#

Stupid anvil

mint coral
hot bloom
#

Boney boat

naive flicker
#

ohhh

indigo badge
mint coral
naive flicker
#

doesnt meg make this like just as easy as other minibosses or nah

mint coral
#

MM barge is faster, just slow down every other miniboss lol

hot bloom
#

COME AT ME HADES RAHHHHH

mint coral
#

Normal barge is 3 waves of enemies

#

MM barge is a big shield crystal and spawning enemies

naive flicker
#

oh i have middle management on

mint coral
#

Killing the crystal ends the barge

#

Yeah

#

Normal barge stinks

naive flicker
#

and im guessing its not worth turning on middle management for that to be faster cuz it makes others slower

mint coral
#

Yeah lol

naive flicker
#

unfortunate

mint coral
#

Styx hits you with double minibosses

naive flicker
#

you also turn on tight deadline on speedruns yea?

mint coral
#

You have the 4 bombers tartarus

#

For in game time nope

naive flicker
#

rta

mint coral
#

Rta yes

naive flicker
#

thats pretty cool

mint coral
#

It removes survival rooms in tartarus

#

Which pause in game timer so for igt you keep it off

naive flicker
#

yea

hot bloom
#

STOPP with the spear stab dammit

naive flicker
#

400hp trol

hot bloom
#

Heheheheh ima go insane… hades second phase starts he sends out the wave and i decide to walk into it losing a death defiance 😂😭

mint coral
#

I lost my first dad fight like that

#

Fully knowing the wave was a thing

hot bloom
#

It was my first death defiance so im chillin but dang it

#

Victoryyyy!!!

#

Okay ny best clear time this save file is 24 minutes

naive flicker
#

hades can start a combo from the spin attack

#

thats pretty unfortunate

#

he also does damage dashing to his spear correct?

mint coral
#

Did you have a charm effect

#

From aphro

naive flicker
#

is that really vhy

mint coral
#

Charm will cause repeated moves after it ends

naive flicker
#

threw me off heavy

mint coral
#

Often without the animation

naive flicker
#

so he does the moves but they dont come out while he is in the charm state

hot bloom
#

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

mint coral
#

Yeah was gonna say lol

naive flicker
hot bloom
#

So the laser beam is… the special?

mint coral
#

Laser feels call coded for me

naive flicker
#

is some sort of ult i think

#

yea

mint coral
#

Em4 ||also adds a companion||

hot bloom
#

Oh truee

naive flicker
#

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

mint coral
#

Fo2 super dad is insane

naive flicker
#

not even mentioning MM

naive flicker
naive flicker
mint coral
naive flicker
#

super dad?

mint coral
#

Em4

#

His summons aren't affected by it

#

They just get a darkness effect from em4

naive flicker
#

does he get the ||mini boss summons||

#

ohh

mint coral
#

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

naive flicker
#

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

mint coral
#

The head crushers are funny

#

They can pierce through the acorn keepsake for no reason

#

Sometimes

naive flicker
#

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

hot bloom
#

I wanna player numero 2… why isnt it on console! Rahhhh

#

I guess i will stick with the like best game ever ugh

naive flicker
#

pesudotech with the bow actually feels really good wtf

#

so like the main combo would be dash attack attack then repeat

indigo badge
#

it's very hard to do in actual runs

#

and even harder in serious speed/heat runs

naive flicker
#

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

naive flicker
#

i can see good usage

#

is peer pressure fake?

mint coral
#

Peer pressure bad

naive flicker
#

concentrated volley or relentless volley?

#

im more of a relentless but im not sure which is better in numbers

naive flicker
#

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

lofty gust
#

whats the best build for nemesis?

naive flicker
#

ME

lofty gust
#

alr

#

so start with ares

naive flicker
#

i think going for crit on the attack isnt bad also

#

if you dont wanna build into a duo boon

#

artemis that is

amber crest
#

I would just recommend a standard crit build but alright

#

ME isn’t bad

#

Just weaker when you don’t have it

keen lake
#

Can you still get 32 heat trophy while on god mode?

gray apex
#

I think so

keen lake
#

Ok

indigo badge
naive flicker
#

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

vagrant python
#

dark foresight or uhhh other one

rustic vale
vagrant python
#

and fam fav?

rustic vale
rustic vale
vagrant python
#

ok thank gods

#

thats what ive been going

naive flicker
#

dude every single attack boon is getting crossed off lmaooo

rustic vale
#

AP1 is one of the worst options you could turn on

naive flicker
#

i was gonna run shackle ngl

#

im at 3:11 till deadline is it doable?

#

3 phases

rustic vale
#

Probably

naive flicker
naive flicker
rustic vale
#

I haven’t used em4 in like 4 years

naive flicker
#

i got like no chaos no attack boon no life no family

rustic vale
#

No attack boon depends on the weapon tbh but generally bad

naive flicker
#

hestia

rustic vale
#

What is this pact residentzag

naive flicker
#

what exactly

rustic vale
#

EM4 AP1 there had to have been better options if it wasn’t 50 heat

naive flicker
#

running 40 heat em3 ap1

#

no i aint running em4 thats insane

#

especiall for like 40heat

rustic vale
#

wdym 3 phases

naive flicker
#

i ran em4 for 32practice

naive flicker
#

oh

#

i said 3

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

missinput

rustic vale
#

Depends on everything else you have tbh

naive flicker
#

i legit tried going for ares attack which i think is probably worse than base damage right?

rustic vale
#

not exactly?

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

it has some use

naive flicker
#

i have a chaos modifier for undamaged foes

#

yep i got this

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

i like ares on the special

rustic vale
#

eh

naive flicker
#

it feels alright

#

mainly for the duo boon

rustic vale
#

it’s like fine

#

which duo even

#

I can’t think of a duo makes curse of pain worth it

naive flicker
#

doom strikes weak foes

#

like

#

idk what its called

rustic vale
#

there’s a reason curse of longing isn’t on my radar bouldy

naive flicker
#

alr fk it im going for it

#

1dash from heremes all i need

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

HL5 moment

#

3 40 attemps all 3 died to hades em3

rustic vale
#

Learn Stubborn Def w/ LC4 💔

naive flicker
#

like something is wrong with me

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

like

#

give yourself time

naive flicker
#

was running JS1 for less RI

rustic vale
#

WDYM less RI

#

What the cooked is this pact

naive flicker
#

and its hard to get used to the timings at FO2

rustic vale
#

yeah

#

so

#

you play a bunch

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

to get used to it

#

it’s an adjustment you can make and then just not turn off fo2 again after

naive flicker
#

that sounds like something i should do

rustic vale
#

cuz it’s beneficial for speedrunning as well if you ever want to try your hand at that

naive flicker
#

or i could just run FO1 and more RI 💀

rustic vale
#

don’t run any RI bouldy

#

losing dark foresight is

#

massive

#

like

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

You should not need ri for 40 heat

naive flicker
#

2 core boons id really love

#

and other than that its not a big deal

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

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

rustic vale
#

It’s hard but it’s not resort to RI or AP instead hard tizomg

naive flicker
#

my question is

#

would you run SD for 40 heat

rustic vale
#

yeah

#

Although I’d run it for 32

naive flicker
#

but it just feels too low for it

#

man

rustic vale
#

I learned SD on 32 and then took it up to 40

#

like my 32 heat pacts pretty much all had hl5/lc4/fo2

naive flicker
#

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

rustic vale
#

Yeah and at 32 and 40 I found the avg room is a bigger problem than the bosses thanthink

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

I think like

rustic vale
#

you can definitely chunk out

#

your learning

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

would learning sd without fo2 even worth

#

its completely different

rustic vale
#

I’d learn fo2, and then learn SS w/ fo2 on

#

Personally

naive flicker
#

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

rustic vale
#

Pretty much the posterboy for why Hesty needs tidal dash

#

Other than styx, styx is a bigger reason

naive flicker
#

yk what fk it im running sd just one more attempt without it before

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

it kills enemies

naive flicker
#

poseidon is pretty good to have for purging boons

#

and hestia doesnt stagger so it might be the angle

rustic vale
#

tidal dash is your on-demand small fry clearing tbh

#

It’s a load of damage w/ good aoe

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

Mainly the first pom

#

1 or 2 poms

naive flicker
#

alr yea ill go for it if i get the god

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

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

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

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

primal compass
#

Where can I send images

naive flicker
primal compass
#

It’s a tier list lol

naive flicker
#

i mean you are free to send it where ever

primal compass
#

How do I get image perms then

naive flicker
#

oh i use imgur on google so i didnt know you needed those not sure

mint coral
#

Send it to a dm then right click > copy link

naive flicker
#

i dont even have sd unlocked

#

CP1 or JS1

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

i feel like jury summons 1 would overall be faster

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

unless im overestimating CP1

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

I feel like JS1 guarantees that you have to make more strikes because you have to deal with more enemies

royal schooner
#

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

rustic vale
#

while cp1 can be remedied with chaos

naive flicker
#

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

rustic vale
#

see

#

I think that

naive flicker
#

hmm

#

but im running LC3 now taking chaos is meh

rustic vale
#

with ri1 and ap you often just end up bashing your end into a wall hoping for better rng

naive flicker
#

with dd that is cuz i need 300more for sd rn

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
naive flicker
#

also any idea how you aim meg companion on keyboard i just got it

rustic vale
#

atp the only thing to blame is myself and I can improve

naive flicker
#

wow

rustic vale

you have those guides saved?

rustic vale
#

more like I know where to look

#

with the discord search function

naive flicker
#

so just run cp1 instead of js sounds good

rustic vale
#

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%

naive flicker
#

ORRRR more js less lc

#

better for me probably but ill resist for the greater good

rustic vale
#

his beyblade attack just makes you have to stop playing the game on melee weapons

tepid harbor
naive flicker
#

it can be rough with minimal movement

tepid harbor
rustic vale
#

Mort just doesn't win out in the speed or heat arguements tizomg I can't say anything for those who enjoy the big number

naive flicker
#

its pretty annoying nevertheless

rustic vale
#

it's like

#

annoying

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

I don't like it so I avoid em3

naive flicker
#

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

tepid harbor
#

what's lc again?

naive flicker
#

no healing

rustic vale
#

lasting consequences

#

-25% healing per

naive flicker
#

lasting consequences

tepid harbor
#

Oh yeah, I remember it

#

It's horrible with Guan Yu

naive flicker
#

also some questions about hellmode

#

what exactly does it do

tepid harbor
#

Basically, you start with the pact

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

lmao

naive flicker
#

trol

tepid harbor
naive flicker
tepid harbor
#

That's it

naive flicker
#

like the iframes you get

tepid harbor
#

Very miniscule though

#

Try stand in front of hammer wretches in Tartarus to test it

#

A group tho

naive flicker
#

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

tepid harbor
#

Yeah or in the bomb miniboss in Tartarus

naive flicker
#

thats so lovely

#

for 1 heat

rustic vale
#

and you can't turn them off

naive flicker
#

5??

iirc it's the first 4 at level 1

#

so hl1, lc1, cf1, js1

#

and the hellmode only pact Personal Liability

tepid harbor
#

Charon is gonna be eating good I guess

naive flicker
#

js1 ew

tepid harbor
#

JS, FO, and DC are free

naive flicker
#

for most weapons

rustic vale
#

js and dc are not free

#

fo sure once you adjust to it

naive flicker
#

fo2 em4 is free

#

dc2 on hestia free

tepid harbor
rustic vale
#

DC is free for like eris and I've run out of fingers to count on

naive flicker
#

on some weapons sure i understand

tepid harbor
#

Only Arthur, Rama, and Hestia actually are affected

rustic vale
#

it like doubles the average number of bow-shots you need to kill most enemies

naive flicker
#

but free is like UC CF EX2 a

rustic vale
#

that is such a lie

tepid harbor
naive flicker
#

yea mm is not that bad

tepid harbor
naive flicker
#

dude IVE LOST ALL 3 OF DDS ON THAT MINIBOSS

#

its genuinely probably the easiest miniboss

rustic vale
#

oh that was not meant to be a reply

naive flicker
#

you just wanna finish it really fast you start choking

rustic vale
#

I typed something out and then deleted it and forgot to unreply

naive flicker
#

isnt rama the shared suffering weapon

tepid harbor
naive flicker
#

the special can take out the shields easily

rustic vale
#

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

tepid harbor
#

Insanity imo

naive flicker
#

yea ok its atleast workable around

#

i mean sht its a 64heat weapon

rustic vale
naive flicker
rustic vale
#

so it's not free, you do have to alter your playstyle

tepid harbor
#

Can we all agree the most broken build is Merciful End Zag Fists with Plume?

naive flicker
#

yea thats a better way to put it

#

hestia wr heat is 60right?

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

dude i never understood the eris hype

rustic vale
#

iirc yeah lemme check the heat leaderboards

naive flicker
#

mind you i havent tried it

tepid harbor
naive flicker
#

i mean it just doesnt sound that insane

rustic vale
#

it's almost like a +75% global damage buff is insane

naive flicker
#

i did see a clip of eris legit melting a room in 2nanoseconds

tepid harbor
#

75% applies to your Zeus lightning too btw?

naive flicker
#

but idk

naive flicker
rustic vale
naive flicker
#

unless you waant a cast build with eris which idk how viable that sounds

tepid harbor
rustic vale
#

you get it on your strike, your special, your dash, your lightning strikes, your call

naive flicker
tepid harbor
tepid harbor
rustic vale
#

all together

#

add up

#

massively

tepid harbor
#

Pair that with Chaos and jerky

rustic vale
#

jolted is also like 50% of your damage on lightning strike builds

naive flicker
#

double strike

tepid harbor
rustic vale
#

no

#

not on rail you don't need it

tepid harbor
#

this is chain lightning

#

Weird, ik, but there's a diff

naive flicker
#

double strike is good on any zeus build what??

tepid harbor
rustic vale
#

double strike doesn't do anything for lightning strike wdym

tepid harbor
#

it's special or dash, or aid

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

doesnt double strike combo really well with jolted?

tepid harbor
rustic vale
naive flicker
#

hmm damn

tepid harbor
#

BTW i js finished 16 all weapons, what do I do now?

rustic vale
#

nah I'm looking harder now

tepid harbor
#

Know any broken builds for them?

latent moon
#

Shield is objectively speaking the easiest tbf lmao

tepid harbor
latent moon
latent moon
#

Generally beo tho

naive flicker
#

this is the only real 40heat setup

latent moon
rustic vale
#

I did find it eventually

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

iirc there was a ton of either glare or brightness that made it unreadable so I put a ton of filters on it

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

my biggest problem is that i lag at lernies bossfight

#

its really bad so he just tps and slams my ahh

rustic vale
#

yeah the purple head sucks for heat tbh

naive flicker
#

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

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

that doesnt seem balanced

rustic vale
#

it's a global damage boost

naive flicker
#

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

rustic vale
#

oh for chain lightning?

naive flicker
#

yea

rustic vale
#

chain lightning does 80% of the damage for each subsequent foe

#

so

#

80% -> 64%

#

but

naive flicker
outer cairn
#

Hard stuck on rank 3

#

I mean 2

rustic vale
#

it's 80% of the initial number so you do (lightning damage plus all global additive) * 80%^(amount of foes it's hit already)

naive flicker
#

also if you had to choose selling tidal dash demeter special or aphros attack (you have hazzard bomb)

rustic vale
#

ngl probably dem special

naive flicker
#

but 80% with the 300%

#

like holy hell

rustic vale
#

I'd just rather keep my strike damage and tidal dash

outer cairn
#

Guys where can I find builds for malphon fists

rustic vale
#

you can pick up another +% strike later

#

there are a few builds for fists

naive flicker
#

so sure

#

ill trust you on this one

#

really wanted to get rid of tidal

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

trol

vagrant python
#

gods legacy and fated persuasion is good?

#

or should i lean for epic rarity increase

naive flicker
#

wait is the 80% of the special additive or multiplicitive

outer cairn
naive flicker
naive flicker
#

also yes fated is the better option

rustic vale
#

for like

#

90% of builds

vagrant python
#

wait

#

for hidden aspects all the information i read is conflicting

rustic vale
#

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

vagrant python
#

do i need to spend 5 on the individual weapon

rustic vale
naive flicker
rustic vale
#

it's going to depend on what part you're at

naive flicker
#

i mean i personally prefer gods pride

rustic vale
vagrant python
#

ah thanks

naive flicker
#

16 healing from the well brooooooo 😭

vagrant python
#

so guan yu doesnt need the 5 on spear

#

just 5 across all

rustic vale
#

it depends on how many builds your weighing in, and the importance you put on getting the duo for each build

naive flicker
vagrant python
#

and the others need five on same one

naive flicker
#

builds*

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

you just run ap1 anyways

rustic vale
#

than if I find the duo with common boons

naive flicker
#

relatable

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

wait isnt LC3 without sd is just a throw?

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

last time i saw an epic chaos boon was in 1998

rustic vale
#

so buffing them is more impactful

naive flicker
#

yea

#

dude running high lc is so bad without sd

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

im almost dead is asphodel

rustic vale
#

oh like lc3 with dd's

naive flicker
#

yea

rustic vale
#

I think I've done that

naive flicker
#

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

naive flicker
#

wAIT do you know if patroclus is guaranteed when burning the contract achillies signed?

rustic vale
#

story rooms are never guaranteed

naive flicker
#

unlucky

rustic vale
#

that's possibly one of my silliest 32 pacts

naive flicker
#

thats highk insane

rustic vale
#

second clear on my second save file*

naive flicker
#

just died to magma

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

I wanted to see how early I could do it

naive flicker
#

on hellmode right away

#

fking 32heat zag sword

rustic vale
#

atp I'd just learn to do Fresh File

naive flicker
#

trolling

vagrant python
#

what does powershot is easier to execute even mean

#

like it charges faster?

rustic vale
#

the window is increased

vagrant python
#

window for?

#

oh

#

i see

#

mb gang reading might be op

rustic vale
#

you have 60% more time

#

to release after the powershot window

#

and it'll still count

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

I like 32 alot because it's like

#

the last checkpoint

naive flicker
#

you have so many options

#

its fun

rustic vale
#

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

primal compass
naive flicker
#

between 32 and 40 isnt real

#

aphro on c is criminal

#

no d for dio unlucky

rustic vale
#

lowkey what even uses demeter athena and dionysus together

primal compass
rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

zeus probably best god tbh

rustic vale
primal compass
rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

high number always fun

primal compass
#

Ah

rustic vale
#

aphro has the largest +% of strike and special, the weaken debuff is extremely powerful and she opens good duos for crit builds

naive flicker
#

something like the hidden sword aspect

rustic vale
#

and smouldering air is always good

naive flicker
#

some bow aspects

#

hestia

rustic vale
#

like all you need is an aphro boon anywhere and zeus call and you're set

primal compass
#

I’ll say none of you have guessed it

naive flicker
#

yea not even mentioning the duo potential

rustic vale
#

maybe by a strech I could see this being guan-yu

#

but ultimately this does puzzle me

tepid harbor
#

Guys what is actually the best call?

rustic vale
#

zeus and dionysus are easily splashable on anything

#

Hades is mainly for castpect damage

primal compass
#

Gotta go, the answer was ||Talos||

tepid harbor
rustic vale
#

it doesn't

rustic vale
tepid harbor
rustic vale
#

based off her god tierlist

#

which aspect/weapon did she like building

naive flicker
#

oh there was a question i missed it

#

dude but every time i see that 10hp on the fountain its just depressing

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

ahpro is balanced

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

dio is arguable

rustic vale
#

32 heat+ and speedrunning are where game balance really falls apart but likeeee that is bound to happen

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

i am forming my opinion on weapon limits so its kinda bad

naive flicker
#

dio is like my fav god but he also is the least useful one

rustic vale
#

I mean

#

dio call

#

brings him up there

naive flicker
#

yea but thats about it

#

ig cast builds too

rustic vale
#

strong drink and premium vintage are nice secondary boons

naive flicker
#

dio and zeus duo isnt that bad

rustic vale
#

strong drink is free global additive and premium vintage just complements me not taking max hp boosts when I'm speedrunning

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

he literally has the highest quantity of generic t2s

#

at like 4

naive flicker
#

idk its just that id rather take most other t2s than hi

#

s

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

yea thats true

#

whats the record heat on eris

rustic vale
#

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

#

58

#

by Haelian

#

I believe

#

nope

#

there is a more recent one

#

60

#

61

#

Playad

naive flicker
#

hestia has higher heat record so its better therefore any opinions are hestia are more accurate

naive flicker
naive flicker
#

do they have a list for heat records with videos or no

rustic vale
#

point me to where Hestia is higher

naive flicker
#

there you go

rustic vale
naive flicker
#

63 has never been done

#

ig its just 64 but why tf would you go for it

naive flicker
naive flicker
#

ty

rustic vale
#

bruh

#

ok I'll send the modded on later

#

for heats completed w/ the speedrun modpack

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

8 damage per second on the poison holy sht

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

lmao

rustic vale
#

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

naive flicker
#

legendary

rustic vale
#

he's mainly a heat speedrunner it seems

latent moon
#

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

rustic vale
#

is the dude who has 1st place modded 50, 2nd place modded 40, and 3rd place modded 32

#

him

latent moon
#

or 40 idk but rama speed heat

latent moon
latent moon
#

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

naive flicker
rustic vale
#

I think playing modded if you can is totally justifiable like

latent moon
#

it's only ever like 60 -> 62, never 61

rustic vale
#

unmodded means you reset like 10x as much at least

latent moon
#

playad already did 64 modded eris anyways so he doesn't need to prove he can do it unmodded lmao

#

genuinely unreal player

naive flicker
#

he did guan yu 64 like wtf

rustic vale
#

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 🙏

latent moon
#

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

naive flicker
#

whatss the next closest weapon to 64

latent moon
#

none

#

fists and sword are considered impossible 64 bc of melee

#

and not enough dps

rustic vale
#

can't wait for Cherry to do gilgamesh 64

naive flicker
#

ok but if you had to choose

latent moon
#

fist

#

it's just better use of lightning strike

#

but 1 dash is gonna be hella painful

naive flicker
#

if we had to choose from all the aspects?

rustic vale
#

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

latent moon
#

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

naive flicker
#

oh damn the list goes down to 32 thats pretty cool

rustic vale
latent moon
naive flicker
latent moon
#

maybe achilles

rustic vale
#

beo and zag both have 62

latent moon
#

unironically

#

beo does not have a 62

rustic vale
#

or

latent moon
#

who got past ri3 lmao
