privileged status is good imo but if you can you should be thinking of taking advantage of it when you think about your build
you deal more damage to enemies afflicted with 2 or more curses

Rogue game runs?

hmm alright then

I guess that was a misunderstanding, but a lot of people who come here are new to roguelites and Hades is their first entry. For fwiw.

Enter the breach is also one where you have to beat it multiple times, considering some stuff carries over between runs, and you have multiple robot sets to play through with

Well for Hades, the general consensus is that a run is finished when your streak counter increases by one.

How long does it usually take for ||Achilles|| to ask for a favor? He already gives me generic phrases for I dunno how long.

There are certain optimized builds. You can ask in #h1-builds-and-combat
rough token
Not every time
manic bobcat
so yall go for the same boons everytime ?
Not always. When I want something spicy, I just go with whatever. On high enough heat when I want to win, I optimize.

But usually I go into a run either with a plan, or ready to adapt

Well for Hades, the general consensus is that a run is finished when your streak...
Streak counter?

hmm alright

So like, win streak?

Streak counter?
There is one in the ||end game screen||

A run is finished when you get the end of a run victory screen
manic bobcat
So like, win streak?
You don't have to do win streak, but in Hades there is a streak counter is all I am trying to say.
tepid dust
not necessarily but i think in general with certain weapons, slow attacks do well with percent damage increases like aphro and fast attacks do well with flat damage bonuses like zeus and stackable statuses like dio
dull niche
but yeah generally speaking, if im trying to get a good speedrun, i know what build im going for

A run is finished when you get the end of a run victory screen

plucky flare
wow the theseus fight is infinitely worse with the bow
bow is painful
still did it but wow that sucked
craggy barn
you just haven't used the bow long enough
plucky flare
every other weapon even the shield which I thought was gonna be bad but was actually kinda good is alright to use
but I really don't like the bow
tranquil violet
👍 💯
plucky flare
probably going to win with it anyways as I now have 2 death defiances + skelly defiance making me pretty much immortal but I still don't like it
tranquil violet
The weapons are pretty balanced out all though the bow was a little tricky to use in the beginning
plucky flare
its not that its difficult its just annoying and boring
tranquil violet
Yeah
plucky flare
all the other weapons are cool slashy stuff and then you have bow which just shoots an arrow
also it has stupid timing attacks which are just tedious
I got a rapid fire upgrade that removed those and its nice
tranquil violet
I found myself using only the shield for the first like 10 hours
plucky flare
I have used all weapons equally and its between spear and sword for my favourite so far
craggy barn
imo bow and fists are the best weapons
plucky flare
there is some more to unlock though so that might change
craggy barn
feels weird since coronacht and malphon are two completely different playstyles
shield seems good but when i use it it feels weird and the damage is just... bad

If you close before going into another room, the game doesn't save

This is why I shouldn't use discord when I'm still half-asleep
My brain thought you said "buy-back"
Apologies xD
true bridge
it's alright
rough token
I guess set up a macro to repeat M1 really fast?
rough token
Mm, I guess. Haven't paid close attention because I usually don't need to bulk buy >:3

I sell the gemstones by the hundreds every time
it's painfull

yeah this game feels amazing and fast
and yet here is the beautiful "power cast" we all knew and loved from sgg games

I thought you were mods
in which I would beg to recieve the "The Crab" role, that has no additional beneficts other than C R A B

I have 240+ hours in Hades, and a combined <20 hours in the other 3

There's pretty much always someone online, even if it's just me :3

Now I know where most of the server's traffic is going to
I should start talking about the game itself
sleek galleon
Very awesome
rough token
Had a feeling you'd say that
sleek galleon
channels my inner Hanzo-Sova-Ashe main into the enemies
and the power cast is even better
noble karma
is that automatically a part of the codex? or do you have to buy something
||IIRC, I got the duo and legendary boon listings in the codex after I got my first duo boon and then bought the upgrade from the broker. I think the option to buy the expanded listing only appears after you take a duo boon. Or a legendary?||
molten dagger
so i've been wondering for a while
if i were to do something that would fulfill an achievement on steam
but i did it on the switch
would i get the achievement
rough token
Sure thing ^.^
It's not quite ideal, but there's a limit to what the game stores/tracks
molten dagger
the cross saving has been more than good enough for me
narrow hemlock
essentially anything that can only be achieved once per save file will be retroactive due to how the dialogue works, anything else has to be redone
rough token
See I would say that, except that would take forever to type on my phone
narrow hemlock
you are so fast already!
rough token
I suppose
molten dagger
you came in like immediately so id say youre fast
rough token
XD
I can type fast, sure, but it still takes a while to type a full paragraph
yes I know Tatz didn't write that much but anyway
molten dagger
ah well yeah
rough token
Ohh! Tatz! My phone autocorrected to your name! 🥳

i wis h that happened to me more often

i wish peach were here to see bit's name 
molten dagger
he's so cool he's like the only character i've given nectar to
even though i dont even like his boons that much i just think he's funny
im up to the point where im at the lock heart
narrow hemlock
his boons can be fun 0:
molten dagger
but idk what to do to advance past that
oh yeah his boons can be really good his call is amazing
im assuming the locked heart is what ambrosia is for?? but idk
narrow hemlock
yeah you have to do a specific thing for a character to get past the 
it's different for everyone but usually it will relate to them in some manner and you will probably uncover most naturally as you play.
molten dagger
ohhh
narrow hemlock
poseidon does have a specific stipulation though
molten dagger
do i get anything for it or is it just cool
pliant sparrow
yah but max out meg is best first
narrow hemlock
its largely just narrative but 1) there are certain npcs that will give you something extra once your bond is deep enough. none are olympians 2) you will need olympians for a late game story event
rough token
She's cool
pliant sparrow
does meg give you an op item or something
yah basically
molten dagger
👀
narrow hemlock
all in all just befriend everyone :)
molten dagger
oh yeah also im missing a journal entry in others of note and a keepsake and im just wondering if it's you know who
pliant sparrow
yah it is you know who, at the end even harry potter shows up to help you too
pliant sparrow
its for the locked hearts after they are unlocked

if you're stuck, swing by #h1-story-discussion ^.^
ashen parrot
Eh, it's more 'stuck because of skill lack' than anything else.
And also possibly the fact I had Godhood pushing me through last time I was playing
rough token
fair enough--you'll get there though ^.^
ashen parrot
Yeah.
It's a combination of not having Godhood and not having my 'usual' accessories that's derping me up
Oh heck yeah
Zeus Attack on Exagryph
rough token
niiiice :D
ashen parrot
DELTA ATTACK
Oh man
This run is looking GREAT
Hrm
Should I get Pressure Points or Deadly Flourish for Exa
I don't have Hazard Bomb or the rocket launcher upgrade
Pressure Points is Epic.
rough token
pressure points, that still builds into support fire which is what you really want
ashen parrot
Ah, that's the one that spawns arrows?
rough token
yup
winter harbor
I’m pretty sure lightning bolts can’t crit
rough token
:D
doesn't matter--pressure points is still better than deadly flourish on a nearly pure-attack run
ashen parrot
Hrm.
winter harbor
But exagryph has a high enough rate of fire it may be worth it anyway
winter harbor
The mark and aid are both good
ashen parrot
For that ludicrous F-nuke
rough token
no rerolls, I'm guessing...either aid to fill the slot against zeus
ashen parrot
It'll almost take a full third off [REDACTED]

how many boons do you have?
rough token
no

I'm thinking about how much value you'd get out of the NPC, and I think so, yeah
ashen parrot
And they can upgrade my boons
rough token
ah, then yeah, definitely
I wouldn't go for the rarity up though, personally, I'd go for the +% chance
rough token
nectar
because you have 7 boons, odds of getting what you want with ambrosia are low

Ah, upgrade my next few boons then?

Should you buy titanium blood with ambrosia?
rough token
I'd say a few, early on, but make sure to keep some ambrosia
ashen parrot
ugh

You can. Depends on whether or not you find character progression arcs more important than weapons. You get more Titan Blood than Ambrosia and way more than enough Ambrosia anyway to complete all of the story quests.

My ONLY defy
paper thicket
Man I really wish there was a salt dump channel.
I'm so mad on my most recent death but don't want flood the channel or potentially get the boot.
The projectiles I swear need to be a lot brighter.
Mino sniped me with the recoil effect when he's at low health and I'm so mad.
I entered the fight at low health with no defiances left and wanted to get at least the Mino dead before heading back but man.
random spear
Epic storm lightning or rare static discharge? I’ve got chain lighting on my gauntlets’ main attack

storm, 100%

Ok

The only way I fight shield enemies is the same way I fight regular enemies: stunlock for days.
It's a problem when I can't stunlock them and have to actually think.

how reliant are you on the extra, what, 50 base damage?

I'm not scaling it since I have dionysus on attack

is hades hard?
strange adder
who does ||the aspect of rama represent? im not very keen on mythology||
i initially thought it was that
but im not too sure
plucky flare
from the small amount of time I have spent playing hades it is definitely an easier roguelite
manic bobcat
Yeah Hades is hard, though not as hard as other roguelites to beat.
But with enough heat, it is the hardest roguelite you have.
plucky flare
I was able to reach hades on my 5th run when usually in roguelites it takes me much longer
it took me over 5 runs just to beat the first boss in enter the gungeon
manic bobcat
So yes, Hades is hard yet accessible for most people.
But if you are looking for an ultra challenge, it's there, too, if you wish.
plucky flare
hades is a very good starting roguelite
manic bobcat
who does ||the aspect of rama represent? im not very keen on mythology||
Rama is a Hindu god
Actually I guess NT can be ultra hard too with enough loop
plucky flare
I think hades is more about the story than the challenge
manic bobcat
Hades is more accessible because it has a lot more meta progression.
