Do u think a shade he talked to was like

#

“Hey u dropped ur onion on the floor”

winter harbor
#

It did

slim bay
#

Australia kinda weird too

hasty lichen
#

“U can still eat it though”

slim bay
#

they had a war with ostriches

winter harbor
#

There’s a difficulty modifier for disabling mirror

hasty lichen
#

“After five seconds”

tiny tundra
#

Yeah, Australia went to war with emus and lost.

brazen lagoon
#

lost a war to birds

hasty lichen
#

“Only five seconds? I better be quick!”

slim bay
#

oh yeah emu

winter harbor
#

Zag never cooks his onions

mint forum

#

raw onions

slim bay
#

yeah but the emu are mean bastards

tiny tundra

They are.

Big birds don’t mess around.

slim bay

They’re dangerous.

Red onions should basically be a reverse pom

#

emus are almost as scary as canadian geese

tiny tundra

Even relatively small things like roadrunners can maim you if you’re not careful.

slim bay
#

birds are mean

tiny tundra
#

They are.

#

It’s the dinosaur blood.

mint forum
#

#

This is a bit off topic yall.

tiny tundra
#

If a goose ran at me, I’d grab his neck and choke-slam him. Dumb goose.

Not really. Geese are mean, but I do like them.

slim bay
#

ok sorry

I'd move it to general if it's going to be off topic. ^^

Sorry my inner mod came out. xD

We always appreciate when chat can self-regulate. Carry on, then

Thats a spoiler-

Yeah since it happens later in the game I believe o:

I mean

Yes kind of. I'd count it as a spoiler.

remote hull

I've seen people spoil it at least.

mint forum
#

ah

#

well rip

pseudo halo
#

But what if you die enough times to trigger that dialogue

ornate bear
#

it's kindof an inside joke rather than a spoiler, since no one who hasn't seen the name will have no idea

solid cove

[REDACTED] is pog

slim bay
#

what are your guys favorite boons

#

mine are zeus

red cave
#

Zeus is the overlord obviously

ornate bear

Poseidon/Aphro

I really love Artemis' boons and Athena.

I think Aphrodite has a lot of good god combos

Favorite gods*

solid cove

However all the gods have really good potential

ornate bear

I love the Artemis/Zeus duo though

poseidon rupture zeus

The gods give boons

ornate bear

wait wrong one

Aphro/zeus

Smoldering Air

slim bay
#

I have heroic zeus cast and hera aspect so im hoping to get phalanx shot too

acoustic plank
#

My favorite boon is still posiden special on malphon fists. It's just so fun. Pull push pull push pull push

winter harbor
#

Isn’t phalanx Athena cast only?

solid cove
#

Hmm, I don't know if I have a specific boon that I always get

winter harbor
#

I can’t think of any duos that modify Zeus cast

slim bay
#

im gonna go lightning phalanx

#

||its phalanx shot + Lightning Strike, Thunder Flourish, Thunder Dash, Electric Shot or Zeus' Aid||

#

idk if what i said would be considered spoil ornot

mint forum

I actually really like athena boons

hehe

call me a basic boi

but goddamn

Haha reflect

red cave
#

Athena's amazing for defense

slim bay
#

yep, i like it

mint forum
#

I will never be let down by her boons

solid cove

I know it's a super unpopular opinion but I rarely use Athena

He cast and dash are really good

#

if i go with athena i try to go all in for ||that divine protection||

solid cove
#

Her boons are super good, but like Aphro/Ares combo too much

ornate bear
#

there's also the chaos legendary that gives you a fourth DD

mint forum
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ornate bear
#

lel

fleet acorn
#

the odds of getting chaos legendary are low enough where it's nice to see but not really worth going for

slim bay
#

wait what tier is legendary

fleet acorn
#

i got my first and only chaos legendary like 40-50 runs in

slim bay
#

is that heroic

mint forum
#

nope

ornate bear
#

Legendary is a separate type of boon

mint forum
#

it's a different type

pseudo halo
fleet acorn
#

common, rare, epic, heroic, legendary/duo

mint forum
#

of boon completely

slim bay
#

i guess i havent seen one

fleet acorn
#

is the rarity tiers i think

winter harbor
#

Yep, you can’t level them up because it’s amazing already

pseudo halo
winter harbor
#

Poseidon’s legendaries kind of suck tho

fleet acorn
#

you only get legendaries when you already have certain boons

mint forum
#

o yea ig

#

I mean I'm not ever disapointed

#

but idk

slim bay
#

I am Doctor Death Defying

fleet acorn
#

e.g. for athena you need [Any Deflect] -> Brilliant Riposte -> Divine Protection (the legendary)

pseudo halo
#

Think of all the r e s o u r c e s

slim bay
#

oh no ||bone hydra|| changed for the 3rd time

fleet acorn
#

you can only ever get one of hermes' two legendaries shadesmile

solid cove
#

Oh yeah, fishing's the best part of the game

mint forum
solid cove
#

The sheer importance of fishing in this game

red cave

charp and chrustacean

remote hull
#

Athena is good when you get the deflect attack boon, deflect dash boon, and her call.

#

It's... Amazing.

solid cove
#

Get all those sweet gems, buy a cool fancy chair

fleet acorn
#

chaos and ||surface|| fishing are the big ones

remote hull
#

All the deflect.

fleet acorn
#

imagine if you could fish in ||erebus||

ornate bear
#

it's nice that legendary fish are so easy to get (they're supposed to be a 5% drop rate from perfect catches, but they're actually 50%)

solid cove
#

I had no idea you could fish in chaos

slim bay
#

Idont get how you fishing

fleet acorn
#

chaos fish spawn is 2% chance

#

lmao

winter harbor
#

I’m so glad you can’t, I never risk the gates after getting onions the last few times I tried

pseudo halo
#

Just don't get hit bro

winter harbor
#

Although I guess a fish could be a nice consolation prize

ornate bear
#

I've only done ||Erebus gates|| twice, but didn't get hit in either one

fleet acorn
#

i never take elysium ||erebus gates|| but tartarus and asphodel sure

winter harbor
#

It was much easier to not get hit at 5 heat when I just changed boss patterns

pseudo halo
#

||erebus gates|| are cool until you have to deal with the mini flamewheels

mint forum
#

wait

#

there's a perfect catch?

red cave
#

🤔

ornate bear
#

if you react fast enough yeah

mint forum
#

does the faster u react the better u get?

#

goddamn

ornate bear
#

it's timing based

mint forum
#

I never knew that

red cave
#

how do you know it's a perfect catch

mint forum
#

well then

#

I guess I gotta stop being lazy

pseudo halo
#

same

ornate bear
#

it either says "Catch" or "Perfect Catch" at the top

red cave
#

thanks

slim bay
#

oi how do you fish

pseudo halo
#

you find a fishing spot

#

and fish

slim bay
#

huh

ornate bear
#

you can eventually unlock a fishing rod

red cave
#

there is also a sound cue i think when there is a fishing spot

winter harbor
#

Listen for the little ding at the end of a room when there’s a fishing spot

solid cove
#

You need a fishing rod from the contractors

winter harbor
#

Or look for bright white spots

solid cove
#

Yeah, Zag will also tell you every once in a while if he sees a fishing spot

fleet acorn
#

you unlock fishing after ||you reach styx for the first time||, as well as unlocking prophecies and the tartarus fountain

slim bay
#

guys i have some nice firepower going

#

twin shot, chain shot, and a heroic cast for hera aspect

solid cove
#

Nice

as far as we know theres no more updates

brazen lagoon

i'm pretty sure there will be further updates to the game

#

maybe not any major updates but there'll definitely be some minor ones

I think the best thing they could do is full mod support

i wonder how many people got converted to greek god worship due to this game

good use of time peepoHmm

brazen harbor
#

holy moly I just unlocked the final sword aspect and it's fun as hell

plucky brook
#

absolutely my favourite aspect in the game atm

hushed schooner
#

its really fun

#

mines at level 2

#

i feel like its one of the few aspects you can instantly use almost as efficiently as a max level as it is at level 1

#

like there's some aspects that benefit heavily from upgrades or not much but i think with || arthur || it's just so good instantly

lyric wharf
#

I currently have 2 Grasp from Chaos so 5 blood stones.

plucky brook
#

tbf ||20% & 40% dmg reduction is pretty different||

winter harbor
#

My first few times playing with that aspect i'm not sure I even touched the ||aura||

#

although a certain fight with a certain ||shopkeeper|| convinced me that the aura had value

misty summit
#

Just got the game yesterday and just got to Elysiam is that good?

#

Like how many different areas are there?

brazen harbor
#

I would say so

ornate bear
#

yeah that's very good

brazen harbor
#

took me a while to get there tbh

winter harbor
#

yeah, that's good

misty summit

I mainly used the shield dash spam 😂

woeful pier

spare ridge

slender cosmos

i think its a bear.

daemond shut up

brazen lagoon

that's not a bear

slender cosmos
#

god damn it

brazen lagoon

that's the head of a mountain lion

slender cosmos
brazen lagoon

what kinda bear looks like that

slender cosmos

but not a real one

slender cosmos

that's absolutely a lion of some description

woeful pier

that jaw

slender cosmos
#

IM AUSTRALIAN I HAVENT SEEN A BEAR

plucky brook
#

I'M ALSO AN AUSSIE BUT WE HAVE THE INTERNET

slender cosmos

WELL I LOOKED IT UP AND THOUGHT IT WAS A BEAR

woeful pier

waxen juniper
limpid latch
#

That's a straight up lion.

#

Look at those fangs!

brazen lagoon
#

idk how you saw a bear fam lol

brazen lagoon
winter harbor
#

I thought bear at first but those ears and mouth

slender cosmos
#

oh my god

#

i looked up bears and thought yeah thats a beae

limpid latch
#

But then again, there are no lions in Greece. So...

slender cosmos
#

bear

brazen lagoon
#

the fur colour looks like a bear but the head shape decidedly isnt

slender cosmos
#

SEE

mint forum
winter harbor
#

this isnt greece tho

#

it's the underworld

woeful pier
brazen lagoon
#

pretty sure there wasn't any bears either

winter harbor
#

maybe a mountain lion crossed a border and died and hades took it for a trophy

limpid latch
#

Ok, I'm a dummy. You right

tiny tundra
#

I’m almost 100% sure that’s a lion. You can see the mane.

brazen lagoon
#

whoops wrong person

waxen juniper
tiny tundra
#

It looks like a bear because the skin is stretched out and makes it look really bulky, though.

brazen lagoon
winter harbor
#

and atalanta got turned into a lion

limpid latch
#

As big of an empire as Greece was, you're right, I'm sure they brought exotic animals home.

tiny tundra
#

Lions existed in North Africa, which Greece was absolutely aware of.

winter harbor
#

because it was thought that lions couldn't breed

brazen lagoon
#

or maybe its just a lion bear hybrid who knows

#

a bion of sorts

tiny tundra
#

Oh, yeah.

limpid latch
#

A libear

#

Or a Bion

tiny tundra
#

I’m pretty sure the Greeks thought that male lions mated with female leopards.

winter harbor
#

greece definitely would've been aware of north africa

#

supergiant, we need answers

brazen lagoon
#

a Liar maybe

tiny tundra
#

The Greeks had some peculiar beliefs.

woeful pier
#

greece was goin thru it yknow

brazen lagoon
#

then the romans had to ruin everything

limpid latch
#

But they were having a good ass time

mint forum
tiny tundra
#

They thought the gods lived on Mt. Olympus, which really isn’t that far and is also not very tall in an absolute sense. Like, it’s not difficult to climb Mt. Olympus if memory serves—it’s a day’s hike.

#

It’s very tall relative to the surrounding land, though.

winter harbor
#

they had an altar to zeus near the summit, I think it was more metaphysical like how we think of heaven today

tiny tundra
#

Yeah.

winter harbor
#

Not as cool as the Norse world tree, admittedly

woeful pier
#

how did zagreus even get the lion skin, do animals go to the underworld??? or did he just yoink it off heracles???

winter harbor
#

well, you don't buy it from the contractor

#

I have no idea how it got there

brazen lagoon
#

he's a god i'm sure he has his ways

winter harbor
#

he hasn't been to the surface pre-story

slender cosmos
#

yeah i tried to look to see if it was from contractor but its just his normal rug that is

winter harbor
#

we know this because ||he isn't aware of his surface allergy until he escapes for the first time||

woeful pier
#

ok but the idea of zagreus getting the nemean lion's pelt off heracles shade is sending me rn

limpid latch
#

I wonder if that lions shade ever swings by like, yup that's what I looked like.

slender cosmos
#

i also mentioned that he has some of the broken weapons from mortal wars

winter harbor
#

I could see it as an Olympian gift

slender cosmos
#

so like maybe some stuff just finds its way down

mint forum
#

maybe

winter harbor
#

maybe it's the nemean lion

mint forum
#

isn't the river styx like a river with broken dreams

#

and stuff like that?

#

or am I remembering smt else from some other mythology or folklore

slender cosmos
#

thanatos could bring stuff back with him maybe

winter harbor
#

Yeah, I'm leaning towards gift from somebody

#

Because there are no lions you see as you escape

brazen lagoon
#

maybe stuff just finds its way into the river styx and washes down to the House

#

and Hades sees the stuff and is like "huh,neat"

winter harbor
#

I thought all of that was charon's domain

#

judging by the wells we see

slender cosmos
#

theres the river styx connected to the house tho

#

that zag rises out of

brazen lagoon
#

thats a pool

plucky brook
#

but hades also says that everything below the surface is his domain, even the rivers

slender cosmos
#

yeah but its also by the balcony where thanatos stands

plucky brook
#

cause he has a hissy fit about poseidon

brazen lagoon
#

i think charon and hades have sort of a symbiotic relationship

woeful pier
#

similar to his relationship with Nyx?

brazen lagoon
#

he ferries the dead through the river and hades yoinks the stuff that washes up

#

yeah kinda

slender cosmos
#

theres dialogue where zag asks thanatos about charon, and says hes been there for as long as anyone can remember

winter harbor
#

I was thinking maybe achilles but achilles never did anything like that and he doesn't like to be reminded of his younger self

slender cosmos
#

and that he cant really be replaced bc who else would do that?

woeful pier
#

maybe they have some sort of obligation/"contractual agreement", charon and hades

remote hull
#

hi welcome to Achilles

topaz yew
#

SO just wanted to get a glimpse of the game a bit more ive been playing none stop for almost a day and understand a lot but can anyone recommend the best in their opinion Gods

brazen lagoon
#

totally unbiased opinion here: artemis

topaz yew
#

okay need to know why though

#

aside from her art

#

lol

winter harbor
#

aphrodite, athena

#

athena is really good for defense, aphrodite for big damage

Remember: Hang in there

so big question overall

#

for the keys

plucky brook

weapons first, then mirror

topaz yew

once you unlock every weapon and mirror you dont really need them anymore right

supple lodge

getting the hp upgrade from mirror is nice tho

brazen lagoon

yes

plucky brook

ah I guessed wrong KEKW

topaz yew
#

lol

plucky brook
#

yeah you can sell them at lounge

supple lodge
#

you can use the keys for ||fated persuasion||

winter harbor

that 15 keys for 1 titan blood deal is really good

topaz yew

oop

#

i mean

#

ay

#

and in turn of renovating

#

does it offer anything worth while aside from the main hall upgrades

#

and pretty looks

plucky brook
#

||some side quests/story lines are linked to decorations outside of the first page||

topaz yew
#

OOOOOOOOOH

#

okay

#

thank yo

plucky brook
#

however this game is very good at explaining that stuff so you don't need to try pre-think it

topaz yew
#

i know A "c"

#

should i try to beat the game with EVERY weapon?

plucky brook
#

that's purely up to you

#

every weapon is meta

topaz yew
#

okay cause i purely like

plucky brook
#

there's no right or wrong answer

topaz yew
#

My gauntlets and spear

winter harbor
#

there's a prophecy for winning the game with every weapon once

topaz yew
#

DAMN IT

plucky brook
#

okay minus that then KEKW

winter harbor
#

it gives out a lot of titan blood too

topaz yew
#

so i have too

#

hmmmmmmmmm

#

okay okay

plucky brook
#

is that every aspect or every weapon?

winter harbor
#

Just every weapon

plucky brook
#

fair

topaz yew
#

hmmmmmmmmm

winter harbor
#

aspects don't matter

topaz yew
#

so your telling me

#

I should go ham

plucky brook
#

nothing wrong with just trying out each weapon as it gets the darkness bonus, you might find you like a weapon more than you originally think

topaz yew
#

OH actually now that this is becoming prevelent any ideas on what is best for the gauntlets

#

I already know what i like

#

i hate the bow ngl

plucky brook
#
  1. always start zeus keepsake, zues keepsake, or zeus keepsake & take the attack boon
    (actually dio boon is also kinda good for the meme, and ares works nicely with some more stuff)
topaz yew
#

its only good with the "Q" deflect

winter harbor
#

Chiron bow and hidden bow are both really good

topaz yew
#

in my opinion

#

i might try it]

#

Again i only have a day of progress

#

and so far i know what isorta like dont like

plucky brook
#

yup, learn and explore at your ownpace

topaz yew
#

yeeee

#

and ty

#

just my problem right now

plucky brook
#

I think the only weapon I don't like presently is spear

topaz yew
#

is the damn Bull and "Hero"

supple lodge
#

Hera bow gang

plucky brook
topaz yew
#

HAHA

#

so far it ironic

supple lodge
topaz yew
#

BUT THE CLOSEST I GOT

plucky brook
#

it took me the longest to get through elysium, and until recently I had more deaths there than at the final boss

topaz yew
#

ACTUALLY

#

That helps a lot

#

now i know a good strat

#

But what about when he targets you with his spear

plucky brook
supple lodge
#

also the minotaur appears as a miniboss you can practice on him at that encounter

plucky brook
#

i did a write up about that fight

supple lodge
plucky brook
#

earlier today

topaz yew
#

oh okay

#

ty

#

ty

#

alright im ready for my

#

lets see

plucky brook
#

as I said, you're not alone in not liking that fight KEKW

topaz yew
#

25th Attempt today

plucky brook
#

Elysium in 25, quite respectable

supple lodge
#

aight

plucky brook
#

everyone getting hit with the language filter today LUL3D

supple lodge
#

theseus rarely gets hits on me with the spear throw unless i get overconfident and go close to him to get hits

#

i think a synonym for overconfident triggered the language filter

topaz yew
#

NO

#

Ive been in ASYLUM

#

since

#

Attempt 10

plucky brook
#

also good POGGERS

topaz yew
#

I JUST CANT BEAT THE DUO

#

Lol

supple lodge
#

i also recommend athena shield dash

plucky brook
#

I've got to the stage where I'm just trying to nuke them both at the same time and just hoping I can kill them before my acorn pops

supple lodge
#

deflects the projectiles

topaz yew
#

Oh actually

winter harbor
#

focus down the minotaur first

topaz yew
#

ironically i almost did that

winter harbor
#

you don't want to be dealing with theseus' god call while the minotaur is still there

plucky brook
#

^

topaz yew
#

With Dion and Athene with a zues duo

supple lodge
#

yeah lmao theseus god call is bloody annoying

topaz yew
#

i almost killed bith

#

then i got bull rushed to death

#

oh

#

In terms of Keepsakes

#

whats the best

#

I am using the butterfly cause its great for the first area

plucky brook
#

generally speaking, start the primary god for your run, in asphodel your secondary god for duo boons/synergy etc

topaz yew
#

oooh

plucky brook
#

after that, some people go athena for dash or acorn

topaz yew
#

Wait

plucky brook
#

I sit on acorn for elysium & styx, cause I'm stupidly aggressive

supple lodge
#

purse keepsake good for extra coin if you wanna get more stuff from charon

topaz yew
#

How do you know whats your "Primary" god

supple lodge
#

whoever you want for your build

plucky brook
#

well you know what weapon you're picking

#

you know what is gonna go well with it

topaz yew
#

OH

plucky brook
#

so you start that keepsake

topaz yew
#

oooooooooooooh

#

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

#

sorry

#

my 2nd braincell just clicked

plucky brook
#

I start zeus a fair bit

#

sometimes artemis, sometimes.... yeah that's about it

topaz yew
#

i personally thing that Poseidon is great start

#

but that Aphrodite Dash is A1

plucky brook
#

I like poseidon but requires a bit more setup thna zeus

topaz yew
#

true true

plucky brook
#

funnily enough, if I'm going poseidon, i'm going zeus second anyway

#

seastorm is just so strong

#

and it works on more things than what the boon lists

#

(eg the knockback from shield's attack/bullrush)

topaz yew
#

ooooooooh

#

true brothers alike

#

I just wish hades would stop being a salty bish

#

and actually give us some blessings

supple lodge
#

i grab aphro keepsake if im running malphon haha

plucky brook
#

aphro? interesting

topaz yew
#

so whats the best for the spear and gauntlets

#

in opinion

supple lodge
#

aphro debuffs enemies and gives u big base damage

plucky brook
#

Fists are very flexible and nearly everything works, I start zeus for faster room clearing
others start dio to start stacking hangover
others like @supple lodge starts aphro for weak debuff & nice damage
I know Demeter fist enjoyer likes ||Demeter|| for the chill meaning enemies hit less often

#

spear I don't use enough to give a confident response, but when in doubt, zeus on special and spam special

topaz yew
#

ooh okay

plucky brook

Hades Wiki

Duo Boons are a type of Boon which combines the powers of two different gods for a unique effect. Duo Boons can only be obtained with the correct prerequisite boons and, like normal boons, are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.
There are currently 28 Duo Boons in Hades, shared between 8 different gods: Aphrodite, Ares, Art...

I've escaped five times by now and I have only ever escaped with the sword. Should I be escaping with other weapons too? Do I unlock something like a mechanic or story progression?

he has two dialogue regarding his keepsake, ||one for equipping it (regardless of level), and one after reaching max lv with the plume.|| though, getting any specific dialogue is not guaranteed in the game, as that's not how the game checks dialogue. all you can do is keep playing

Well, that damage does increase with upgrades. However, for now you can take special boons that do not necessarily rely on high damage

Artemis and Dionysus are common favorites.

#

gosh the 900% damage to armor hammer on Fists is insane

#

made most difficult rooms a cakewalk

hollow hawk
#

yeah i just got a run with breaching cross, long knuckle and the hammer which makes your attack a 3 sequence

#

end boss fight was literally soo easy

hollow hawk
#

gaming indeed

#

what run did you beat the game at?

craggy barn
#

run 27 i think

#

still haven't done ||8 heat||, gotta get those bounties

loud lintel
#

even had zeus's god gauge fill bonus with artemis's aid for burst damage

#

run felt super smooth

#

was my fastest clear so far

craggy barn
#

is it just me or is long knuckle... kinda not that good

#

i mean using fists and being able to punch things at spear-length feels super weird

loud lintel
#

i just took it for the 10% damage tbh

#

the other options were special related and i didnt build for it so it seemed useless

#

I finally unlocked all keepsakes. How do you guys decide who to give nectar to afterwards? I dunno whose relationship to develop first

craggy barn
#

meggy and sisyphus are good choices

#

(late-game spoilers) ||hades is a "why not" because he just gives it all back to you||

i might just develop them all one heart at a time bc im a completionist

Are there any DLC's/additional content planned for Hades? Or is the final release it?

from the #hades-faq

Now that Early Access is over, what's next?
Once we're sure our v1.0 launch has settled, our small team will be taking a break to recharge, and plan what's next. We'll be excited to say more about what's in store for us just as soon as we're ready.

#

I've been really enjoying it and with the replayability that this game has, I think it would really benefit from additional content eventually

#

Alright, thanks. Thought maybe more info has come out since then

granite ether
brazen lagoon
#

praying that updates come quickly

safe swift
#

ayo does anybody know how to use the sword? ive had 5 runs with good boons and can not win

craggy barn
#

the only content update this game seems to really need at this point is farming

#

not sure how to explain how to use the sword well

hollow hawk
craggy barn
#

what i know is that it's good to build mainly around your attack, and go for uhh artemis or aphrodite

hollow hawk
#

then youre basically invincible

#

aphro on sword is really fun

craggy barn
#

artemis is good crits and aphrodite is just raw damage

safe swift
#

oh ok

craggy barn
#

artemis is really good for cursed slash + flurry slash

hollow hawk
#

theres also another build where you get the double nova hammer (you can special twice, but your special no longer knocks foes away) that you can try

safe swift
#

ive just been doing artemis dash attack and mark

craggy barn
#

actually either artemis or aphro are great for cursed + flurry

hollow hawk
#

you basically spam the special in this build and just watch enemies' health bar disappear

#

both these builds have been tried by haelian, you can watch his full runs on yt about these builds

craggy barn
#

the crits from arty combined with flurry slash can lead to a lot of crits, and you can also get boons from arty to make your crits more powerful

#

if you get the special boon from aphrodite and then get the duo boon from arty and aphro it's gg from there

#

just get a couple centaur hearts and you're good

hollow hawk
#

cursed slash is so fun to use with any buildd

#

i love the sword because of it

#

lol

#

oh, theres another build too with the sword where you go for insane backstabs @safe swift its a bit of an advanced build if you can manage it

#

take the +200% backstab damage hammer, then get athena's exposed status effect, and arty on the attack for crits

#

you can literally one hit the final boss if you get lucky with this one lol

tacit ember
#

hello

craggy barn
#

cursed slash is great but it's really kind of a trap

#

not really suitable for beginners because of the hp decrease

tacit ember
#

its not great

hollow hawk
#

oh yeah, definitely

tacit ember
#

||it like guanyu but bad||

hollow hawk
#

you need to know how to use it, or else your death defiances will go flying

hollow hawk
#

||well, one hit before he regens again, that is||

tacit ember
#

erm no? how?

craggy barn
#

it kinda feels like cursed slash and ||guan yu|| are basically both equal in terms of "goodness"

tacit ember
#

||guanyu ||is better

craggy barn
#

they're both pretty crappy but it takes one hammer upgrade to make them actually really good

tacit ember
#

because it has special

#

big damage

#

i mean

#

but one is a hammer upgrade and the other one is an aspect

#

so the comparisen doen't work that well

craggy barn
#

by the way uh,

#

hidden aspects are a spoiler here

tacit ember
#

yes i did

hollow hawk
#

yeah he added the spoiler tags above

tacit ember
#

tag

hollow hawk
#

flurry slash + cursed slash is an actual broken build tbh

#

but then again, i havent unlocked the hidden spear yet so cant really judge that vs cursed slash

craggy barn
#

flurry + cursed + swift strike + aphro/arty attack + literally any boons that go with either one

hollow hawk
#

yep

#

you can literally heal through rat's poison using it

craggy barn
#

the attack isn't really necessary

#

it's just there to make up for the abyssal damage output

#

abyssal as in it's like it's not there because it takes so goddamn long to kill enemies

loud lintel
#

flurry basically turns sword into a stronger malphon

#

or at least thats how i view it

craggy barn
#

ehh

#

i feel like malphon does better damage

loud lintel
#

im not too familiar with the numbers so im not sure which does more damage

#

but the playstyle reminds me of the fists
