So it does not mean, for instance, that an un-prioritized cannot appear until there are less than three prioritized boons?

And is this only for the very first boon you encounter in any chamber, or does it only apply to a boon if you encounter it in the landing chamber?

versed verge
#

I assume for only first boon since if it wasnt it would force your first 2 boons to be a selection of the 4 since you only get 3 slots to choose from... Tho it could mean that it's specifically for that God

#

No wait it can't be since i wanted aphro's special and didn't get it till like ||Styx||

tiny tundra
#

I see.

#

I think I’ve gotten a few un-prioritized boons despite not having encountered that god in a run before, so that makes sense.

stiff summit
#

I need some fire boons in this game hephaestus pls

hushed schooner
#

yeah that is strange

#

the lack of

#

any fire oriented boons

#

there should be hades boons in some form rbh

#

i know there's the || hades call from his keepsake|| but

#

it would be nice to have some of his boons

tiny tundra
#

I feel like Hephaestus would have been well suited for the Daedalus Hammers.

Apollo would be more suited for a fire status effect.

#

At least in my mind.

hushed schooner
#

daedalus

stiff summit
#

||tbh yeah i'd love it if we get some boons from him. Maybe just 5 or so boons that improve his call or add twists to it. Spin it off as him adding more help to test his underworld security||

#

Hephaestus is literally the god of fire though. Apollo is more related to sun

tiny tundra
#

Hephaestus is more closely related to smithing and metalworking, as far as I know. Fire is part of that, though. You’re right that Apollo is less about fire and more about the Sun.

Really, Hestia is probably the best pick for a fire status effect, being the goddess of the hearth and all.

#

Hephaestus is also volcanoes, which fits the fire theme.

manic bobcat
#

What would a fire effect be even?

waxen juniper
#

Yea... Merciful End fists is kinda silly

stiff summit
#

I'd say Daedalus is fitting for the hammers. He is more like a tinkering inventor of crazy stuff so his job of adding twists to existing weaponssuits him just right.

You need Divine Dash

I prefer just a zeusy-aphro/dio special, kinda thing

#

Hephaeatus, being a god and a blacksmith, is more of forging legendary weapons and that has no place in the game i think.

Hestia can't be added if Dionysus is the twelfth Olympian.

#

maybe I'm just silly, needs more testing

stiff summit
#

You might be comparing it to old videos where the doom effect didnt have to be reapplied

waxen juniper
#

Merciful end is very strong

tiny tundra
#

A very modern invention (past 60 years or so) is that Hestia gave up her throne on Olympus and offered it to Dionysus in order to keep the peace of the Olympian home and offer the partially mortal Dionysus eternal life as a full god, so they could do something with that.

Alternatively, Hermes, despite being an Olympian god, is already very much treated as an outlier among the Olympians gameplay-wise.

stiff summit
#

Now you have to reapply it but it still is very good

#

Oh true. He could replace Hermes' seat on the throne. Although that'd be very unfaithful to Greek myth and SG has been faithful so far.

tiny tundra
#

The game also doesn’t seem terribly concerned with representing all twelve Olympian gods equally, given that Apollo and Hephaestus are absent altogether while Hera only appears as an aspect.

I also don’t see why a non-Olympian god couldn’t offer a boon, given that Chaos already does so. Hestia could simply be a non-Olympian.

#

I agree that SG has been particularly faithful thus far.

stiff summit
#

Maybe Hephaestus Curse Effect could be Brittle. Something like taking extra damage once you've hit an enemy a certain amount of times then they "break" for a burst of AoE fire damage.

manic bobcat
#

I'm sure someone can dig up what Greg said regarding these

versed verge
#

Actually sometimes hestia and Dionysus will be on the council and hades will be the one excluded in some myths

tiny tundra
#

Hades is not a standard member of the twelve Olympians, as far as I know.

stiff summit
#

Hades was never an Olympian

tiny tundra
#

He’s usually considered a separate thing.

#

Hades is an Olympian in some ancient Greek religious traditions, but it’s not mainstream.

#

Some authors even put Iris on Olympus.

stiff summit
#

Iris? The rainbow god?

tiny tundra
#

Yep.

#

It just varies. Dionysus and Hestia are the mainstream twelfth gods, though.

stiff summit
#

Why? How significant was she in certain cultures?

#

Yeah, the greek myth book we were made to read in high school had Dionysus and Hestia as the twelfth god. Depending on the source of the myth as in cultural relevance in that area or city

tiny tundra
#

Almost all ancient sources agree that there were twelve Olympians, but they can vary a lot in which ones they include. Hades, Iris, Hestia, and Dionysus are all sometimes Olympians and sometimes not.

Iris, as far as I know, was not particularly significant and did not have any cult following. She was just an object of minor worship. As for why she was sometimes on Olympus, I do not know.

versed verge
#

6 children of cronos, hermes, the twins, ares, hephaestus, and Aphrodite are the normal 12 Dionysus is not counted tho some will switch hestia with him or switch hades with him

stiff summit
#

Twins?

tiny tundra
#

Iris was also a messenger goddess, so that may be part of it.

#

Artemis and Apollo.

versed verge
#

Yeah them

tiny tundra
#

They’re twins.

versed verge
#

Leto's kids

stiff summit
#

Damn i did not know that. I knew they both used bow and arrows and they represent sun and moon. Didn't know they were twins though.

tiny tundra
#

I think some ancient sources even put Hera’s little sister or Ganymede on Olympus.

#

Not sure if they “throned” them, though.

versed verge
#

Yep, born of Zeus and leto after leto was cursed by hera to never give birth on the earth so she gave birth on a sky island that traded it's magic of being in the sky to allow her to bare the twins

#

Apollo wasn't actually god of the sun until helios gave up the role to him

#

I think

stiff summit
#

Maybe apollo just has an affinity for the sun? Not exactly the god representing it? Not sure.

versed verge
#

Depends of which Apollo funny enough. I forget the Greek terms but one form of apollo was called helios Apollo and he was like the last Apollo form. Forget what he was called before that

tiny tundra
#

A modern invention is that Apollo is the god of the Sun while Helios is the personification of it.

#

My understanding is that Apollo was not originally associated with the Sun but gradually came to be conflated with Helios.

versed verge
#

Yeah that

tiny tundra
#

I don’t think Helios was worshipped very much until Apollo was identified with him.

versed verge
#

It wasn't the ancient Greeks that saw him as sun God but like people a few hundred years after

stiff summit
#

Huh apollo apparently is the god of healing and medicine as well

leaden summit
#

Isn't appolo the one who rides the sun chariot across the sky while helios is the sun or something like that?

tiny tundra
#

Apollo is the god of a lot of different things.

brazen lagoon
#

He's the god of plague as well

leaden summit
brazen lagoon
#

His son asclepius is the god of healing

tiny tundra
#

I can’t really speak for Greek culture, but Apollo was the quintessential Roman god.

versed verge
#

But Hermes is God of more

tiny tundra
#

If you want an embodiment of Roman ideals, it’s Apollo.

brazen lagoon
#

He was the god of archery and the lyre as well

versed verge
#

Music, healing, sun, the arrow but not the bow that's his sister, and I think turtles

tiny tundra
#

I believe Helios is the one who drive the chariot. Apollo may have picked that up later on, though.

#

Apollo’s association with turtles mainly has to do with the importance of turtle shells in divination, if memory serves.

brazen lagoon
#

Apollo was the god of a lot of stuff

versed verge
#

Yeah and I think it made him god of them but I might be wrong

tiny tundra
#

I think the relationship between Apollo and Helios is not dissimilar to the relationship between Artemis and Selene.

stiff summit
#

The double negative hahha

versed verge
#

Just wait till y'all hear about hermes and how much he was the God of. Travlleing, trade, merchants, distance, borders, running, money, gold, the dead but not death like thanatos nor the dead in the same way hades is, but instead the God of transporting the dead and more that I can't think of at 1am

Wasn't he like the trickster god or something

He also had this to say:

@sand cobalt 'Why did you include minor deitys like hermys in hedes but not major ones like hera or hafestus'
We wanted a mix of those big iconic names from Greek myth, such as Hades and Athena, and also some less-well-known ones such as Hypnos and Megaera. Part of it is just... the canon myth around some of these characters is so fascinating that it's kind of shocking to me they're not portrayed in media more often. Primordial Chaos is my favorite example of this... the idea that everything sprang from Chaos is like straight out of a heavy metal album cover, and in a story that's ultimately about family, having the great-great grandparent in there made a lot of sense.
The game also is about a specific story, so a character like Demeter has way more of a connection to it inherently than a character like Apollo. Even though Apollo is way better known than Demeter, we opted to include characters that fit the story best. Tisiphone, Alecto, Patroclus, and Demeter were characters we didn't always think would end up in this game but made more and more sense as we moved forward.

narrow hemlock
versed verge
#

They are right. Primordial chaos is such a cool idea that should be used in media more

tiny tundra
#

Is primordial chaos that uncommon? It’s a very common idea across many cultures, from what I’ve seen.

#

Also, didn’t know Demeter was that unpopular. I mean, she is an Olympian. Apollo and Hera are certainly more popular, but Demeter’s up there for me.

manic bobcat
#

I don't think it's that common tbh

Like the only good part of the hero's of olympus series sequel of the percy Jackson series is they have primordial tartarus

#

Genesis is a very notable text in terms of how it depicts cosmogony.

versed verge
#

Well i think in religion, primordials in general are super common

#

Like God from the bible is a primordial

tiny tundra
#

Well, yes. As far as I know, most mythologies have some sort of primordial being.

Primordial chaos is fairly common, but the Abrahamic religions are notable for primordial order.

versed verge
tiny tundra
#

Though I suppose “primordial order” is a bit of an oxymoron.

#

Yeah, I was wondering if Hades would personify Tartarus before I got into it.

versed verge
#

Look I just want more none humanoid ideas taking on a humanoid figure lol

radiant estuary
#

Tartarus is basically it's own personification, depending on the myth

split vigil
#

There isn't that much know greco myth around chaos though right? It basically boils down to 'in the beginning there was chaos and they created some stuff then disappeared'

brazen lagoon

Chaos isn't really a major player in Greek mythology sadly

does pausing the game do something? noticed someone doing it as the rewards ont he doors were being shown

Yup

#

There is an in game timer

Pausing stops that timer

#

Some speedruns use in game timer so they do that

#

Also for Tight Deadline heat

But for real time runs like 6 weapons, that doesn't matter obviously

maiden belfry
#

hm i guess with the amount they were doing it and constisncy, i thoguht it was liker

skipping something

manic bobcat
#

I mean speedrunners would go the distance to save a mili second. Pausing is simple so yeah.

#

It's also a habit eventually

manic bobcat
# maiden belfry skipping something

There is a skip called Codex skip though. Basically you move a tiny bit everytime you open the codex if you have momentum. It also pauses the in game timer.

What are your opinions of Hades vs Dead Cells guys? Not like this better than this but a more explained opinion.

#

Played both, DC seems a bit more difficult

#

Didnt finished both so i have not a full opinion

unkempt sleet
#

DC is a lot more random and the progression doesn't feel as fast

#

Also it feels to me like all increases in difficulty are way too much of a jump compared to the last one.

granite ether
#

I haven't played enough of dead cells to have an opinion of it
I've heard through friends that DC difficulty ramps hard with Boss Cells and is required for the 'true ending'
whereas Hades you can do runs at 0 heat forever and experience the main story that's being told all the same as if someone where to climb heat

unkempt sleet
#

Yeah to achieve the true ending you have to play DC at max difficulty

errant shadow
#

Yeap.

unkempt sleet
#

Which I haven't beat, but I'd say it's above the 32 heat threshold of Hades in terms of difficulty

granite ether
#

32 is the threshhold of which you get something out of heat (||a cosmetic statue||)

errant shadow
#

Its like too much time to go on the prefinal boss. And when he beats you, you have to play for like 50 minutes to go again and die fast.

granite ether
#

most people don't go above 20, but the challenge of high heat is there for those who want it

errant shadow
#

Tbh i mosly im interested in unlocking all achievements

granite ether

that's fair, highest heat required for that is 16

unkempt sleet

I don't know many roguelikes but I'd say Hades is very different from the other ones I've played. It plays a lot more like DOOM, in the sense that the best way to approach an encounter is to keep the pressure up nonstop. Can't think of a lot of roguelikes that do that.

I just noticed. The 2nd aspect of all the weapons are for the 6 siblings. They all wielded the weapons during the war with the titans. Now what seems weird to me is why they'd give the spear to Hades when Poseidon had its iconic Trident? And Hades seems like a more likely wielder of a sword.

I have the weirdest cast build right now, leveled up beam cast:

Boons:

  • Achilles legendary +2 cast
  • Zeus duo +10% beam dmg + faster tracking

5 beams @16dps * 1.1

waxen juniper
#

Beams with achilles is very strong

hushed python
#

Yes

waxen juniper
#

If a beam nornally does 10 damage, it's now doing 25 a hit with post-rush bonus

#

Achilles is just nutty

maiden belfry
#

do you mean his aspect for the spear or something else

waxen juniper
#

The spear silly

craggy barn
waxen juniper
#

Next 4 attacks and casts

craggy barn
#

4???

waxen juniper
#

Yep!

#

It is a solid weapon for a cast build

craggy barn
#

then i should definitely use lambent plume so i can get greater recall

#

lmao

waxen juniper
#

Or... Use stygian soul and get bad news!

craggy barn
#

stygian soul has potential

waxen juniper
#

Oh it definitely has some uses

craggy barn
#

generally not a good idea for cast builds unless you actually get more casts

maiden belfry
#

i jsut need more blood so i can get more potential out of the aspects i dont like

#

zeus shield, posiedon sword

waxen juniper
#

Stygian soul is solid for slower casts: blade shot, trippy shot, and crystal beams are all great examples.

craggy barn
#

i've seen an insane laser lightshow build done with stygian soul

drifting crest
#

Yes

waxen juniper
#

You don't get burst, but it also means you don't need to wait for any of those casts to finish doing what they do.

maiden belfry
#

stygian soul beowulf

craggy barn
#

quick reload + fully reloaded would be the goated setup for stygian soul

#

i've had it for that same amount of time and i've clocked 100+ hours of play

maiden belfry
#

what keepsake do you even take for cast builds

craggy barn
#

distant memory

sharp fossil
#

the one for the god whose cast you want

fleet acorn
#

i just in general usually use god 1 -> god 2 -> acorn -> acorn

maiden belfry
#

so does hermes saying "this god is running late" mean youre gonna run into them soon

craggy barn
#

if i'm not sure what keepsake to take i just take the ||blossom||

#

i don't feel much need to take the acorn unless i'm in elysium

I just discovered that if you take "Premium Vintage" (+hp when pick up nectar, get 1 nectar now) from dionysus in a room where you have to choose between 2 boons and fight the other (idk if thoose have a special name), you dont get that free nectar. Is a strange interaction

tender oxide
#

You get it

#

It drops on the ground next to you

topaz imp
#

But since after picking the boon, the combat against the other god starts rigth away, you dont get it, its strange

tender oxide
#

You still get it

craggy barn
#

you can just grab it after the fight

tender oxide
#

I’ve done that before and it drops next to you and then the other god starts attacking

topaz imp
#

Well, I'm right now on that room and dont have any nectar on my inventory

tender oxide
#

Strange

swift violet
#

Achiles is so good

#

Also why would you pick eris over achilles

#

The damage of achilles is way better and it doesnt go away instantly

waxen juniper
#

Eris gives you global bonus damage

#

Achilles just increases attack and cast

swift violet
#

I mean main important things are cast, attack, and special right?

waxen juniper
#

So Eris can increase things like doom/hangover

swift violet
#

Tru

waxen juniper
#

Whereas, Achilles can not

swift violet
#

I still like achilles better

#

The damage is insane

waxen juniper
#

Doom/hangover aren't the best examples for speedrunning, but you get the idea

swift violet
#

For eris you literally need zeus attack

waxen juniper
#

Yes, the damage is strong

swift violet
#

I tried an eris run and didnt get zeus attack and barely cleared

waxen juniper
#

Sounds like ya weren't running it right.

#

Eris is very versatile. I ran a hangover build and it wrecks shop!

swift violet
#

I got really crappy boons

#

I was 12 minutes slower on that run than my first clear with zeus lighting

#

*lightning

waxen juniper
#

Dang

swift violet
#

I got 36 Igt on this run and 24 on my first one

#

i also didn't get rocket bomb on my special and only got cluster rocket

#

So that also sucked

i’ll do it right now

#

wait no

#

#

i’ll do it tomorrow

finally cleared a run with each weapon

#

now im allowing myself to tinker with aspects & heat

deep oasis
#

Is Heat required after you've cleared a run for the first time?

severe smelt
#

Got two duos into tartarus... why this luck now lol

tender basalt
#

@deep oasis increasing heat is only required if you wish to get more of the drops from each levels bosses. If you just want to do runs for the sake of it, you don’t need to increase the heat

gilded light
#

am i the only person that thinks Artemis dash (hunter dash) should be a pass and not fill up your dash slot

tender basalt
#

I do too, but that’s just how it be

gilded light
#

even with crit synergies that is just so much worse than the other sahes

tender basalt
#

If you’re rolling with fists it can be really good imo, but for ranged weapons it’s a waste I think

gilded light
#

artamis is broken with fists in general

#

you can just kind of crit

#

constantly

loud lintel
#

i like zeus/dio on fists

severe smelt
#

I just want the hunter dash to give me crits.

gilded light
#

zeus is good on fists

tender basalt
#

Poseidon on fists was wild lmao, I really underestimate his boons sometimes

gilded light
#

the wall damage is so good

#

it can shred styx

#

its not that good on bosses

severe smelt
#

I really loved putting Poseidon Special on hidden Aiges aspect with also the daedalus that makes it bounce more

#

it just auto-clears styx rooms in one shot

gilded light
#

a bombard?

severe smelt
#

what

gilded light
#

sorry im dumb

#

my brain said adament rail for some reason

#

its the dragon dash ting right?

severe smelt
#

rail with cluster bomb/rocket is nasty but i never get that combo lol

#

the hidden shield is a very heavy shield

gilded light
#

i dont like rail and bow

severe smelt
#

so the special is... also heavy

craggy barn
#

i am quite upset

gilded light
#

its good until you realoze that you cant deal damage very good

craggy barn
#

i was trying to go for a pb run but i got a 5 sack

I wish it was always the thired or second

It's really only Hunter Dash

That chaos boon too

swift violet
waxen juniper
#

Chaos boon has some significant dash strike damage

swift violet
#

Especially if you can get something like zues attack and for hammers get cluster rocket and rocket bomb

manic bobcat
#

You can't pom chaos boons

acoustic plank
#

Yeah but it can also be a huge damage increase, especiallg stacked with Artemis or Posiden or something. Aphro.

#

You can't pom it cause it already stacks

lyric wharf

Nonono that's what I was talk about. I ignore dash strike (specifically chaos boons) when going for a mostly dash upper build.

blown kiss

what

is it a aphro boon or someting??

im confusion

i dont do undamage damage

waxen juniper

Yea, it is an upgrade for the aphro cast

tacit ember
#

ahha

#

i dont use it

#

iv used it like once

waxen juniper
#

It has better range and deals 100% damage to undamaged enemies

tacit ember
#

huh

#

thats prety not bad

upbeat sable
#

The problem is that you need to use Crush Shot

tacit ember
#

aphro cast isn't great

#

crap range

#

but more range=good

waxen juniper
#

Crush shots range isn't great, but it deals solid damage

tacit ember
#

ok

#

but

#

if ur in melee range

#

why even use cast

#

im sure its not bad

silent finch
#

Weak is a good status too

tacit ember

but i dont see it being usefull

silent finch

30 percent damage reduction nothing to scoff at

tacit ember

upbeat sable
#

If you have sweet surrender it's good

#

otherwise just dodge lol

silent finch
#

Along with others boons that reduce the damage you take

tacit ember
#

and the weekend foes take more damage

#

is great

silent finch
#

Like Athena Demeter and aphro ones

tacit ember
#

Demeter?

waxen juniper
#

Sweet surrender is just an amazing boon

tacit ember
#

she no has dmg reduction

waxen juniper
#

Ravenous will

silent finch
#

Demeter has one where if you cast all your cast

#

You take reduced damage

tacit ember
#

oh ya

#

i dont like that one

upbeat sable
#

Aphro's Attack/Special boons are good because they have damn good base damage

tacit ember
#

i like to use the stones recharce mirror thing

tender basalt
#

Ravenous will is great if you have her cast

waxen juniper
#

Ravenous will is insane! You are nuts for thinking its bad

#

That is at minimum 10% bonus damage to everything

upbeat sable
#

depends on how your cast setup looks like

#

Let's say you have the Arte legendary

#

and the +2 casts from mirror

#

that's 5 casts you gotta get rid of for that damage boost

waxen juniper
#

Then lets say you're using an Ares cast

#

That is 30% damage for all of your blade rifts

upbeat sable
#

Bro just get vicious cycle

waxen juniper
#

That damage gets increased as well

tacit ember
#

ok

#

so

wraith quiver
#

theseus an minos are so hard bro

tacit ember
#

are casts like demeter and ares efected by buffs when they are alredy out?

waxen juniper
#

Yep

#

That's why it is a demeter boon

#

huat

#

#

what about wiht achilles spear

waxen juniper
#

Yep!

tacit ember
#

huat

waxen juniper
#

Achilles spear is nuts

tacit ember
#

so like

#

if i send out like 6 casts

#

and use special

#

do all of them have it?

#

no? i dont think so right?

waxen juniper
#

For achilles, only 4

#

Also, special first

tacit ember
#

yes

#

yes thats what im saying

#

so like

#

it doesn't efect the ones that are alredy out

waxen juniper
#

Achilles specifically says the next 4 attacks/casts.
So the last 2 would not be affected by post rush damage

tacit ember
#

yes

waxen juniper
#

Because of how Achilles works, what you are suggesting will not work. However, they will get the bonus damage from ravenous will

tacit ember
#

yes i know how it works

#

but like why

#

i think

#

dmg is calculated

#

befor the attack goes out

#

so like

#

if ur cast does 100 dmg

#

and u have 20%+ dmg

#

u will have 120

waxen juniper
#

Only if the damage happens after you don't have any casts.

tacit ember
#

yes

waxen juniper
#

I do not know if it happens for the last cast you use

tacit ember
#

and isn't that what happend with demiter

#

dud thats literaly what im asking

#

if cast out

#

then +10% dmg

#

what happen

waxen juniper
#

So for demeter it will work because it will deal damage after the cast is released.
Now if you were to cast something like crush shot, I am not sure if that damage will be added

#

It might, but something like that requires experimentation

pseudo lark
#

Haven't tested but my instinct is that it will apply

#

Casts can't do their damage before the cast happens, and when the cast happens the cast counter goes to 0

waxen juniper
#

I think you are right since you technically release it before damage is applied

tacit ember
#

so no bonus damage right?

waxen juniper
#

If our theory is right, it will do bonus damage

fleet narwhal
#

but its just a theory

#

a hades theory

tacit ember
#

i am so confused

#

but ok

#

i am 100% sure that achilles no do that

#

because its every time you attack

#

so like

#

would something like eris work?

#

if you resese you cast

#

and bomb ur self after u relese it

pseudo lark
#

Damage is evaluated based on the buffs you have when the attack lands

#

So if your bomb hits you before the cast lands, it would apply the buff

pseudo lark
#

The only notable exception that I can think of is Achilles Spear buff, which modifies the attack. So if you have Crystal Beam cast, and you cast while you have the Achilles buff, the entire duration of that cast will have +150% damage

tacit ember
#

yes

I failed my HL5 and TD3 run because I fell on gigantic vermin boss in the styx which made me lose time, I was out of time against ||Hades|| and I had stubborn defiance on because I needed it to do a prophecy and I was about to do a regular run but then I forgot about it and went to do heat run, I'm going back right now but I'll still keep stubborn defiance.

#

Still can't get blown kiss for the life of me -_-

#

I sadly took a chaos boon that killed me the 2nd run, so that didn't go well. But the 3rd run only had a common crush shot boon with no damage increase. So that one was just alright

Exit wounds did most of the work that run

On top of running out of time on my previous run, while rushing to buy a boon at the Styx shop I accidentally bought the anvil and got upgrades I'm not really into so that didn't help as well.

#

I see.

waxen juniper
#

I died at Lernie at the 2nd fight. The chaos boon would give me 67% cast damage... but it also made me lose 3 health everytime I cast.

#

So... as you might imagine, I didn't last long after taking that xp

Lol yeah sometimes I forget and also get hurt from chaos boon, btw you're aware that you dont get the chaos boon bonus until the curse is removed right ?

Even if you wanted to roll a specific god, that's quite the lucky roll if you do

winter harbor
#

And even if you get them there's no guarantee you get the boons that you want

thorn sun
#

IF chaos were to eat from multiple heads would the taste of the theoretical (different) food be perceived separately or as one? discuss. my friends wont get off my back about this question

plucky brook
#

rerolling to hit duo boons however feelsgood

waxen juniper
#

The dream!

#

Or legendaries of course

#

Now just hope it happens in 1 roll instead of 2+

topaz yew
#

okay also ||For the weapons when you pick their special ability (Aspect) how do you aquire the 4th one?||

plucky brook
#

the worst feeling is having to reroll the opening boon

#

i sometimes just give up and change weapon lmao

waxen juniper
#

In very specific builds fated authority is better.
Sweet Nectar and Hoarding Slash builds are great for Fated Authority

waxen juniper
#

Sweet Nectar doesn't need it, but you can get some crazy upgraded equipment.

I know Haelian's got Lvl. 50 items

#

lol ive been hearing about hidden sword but what does it do exactly?

#

HOW

winter harbor
#

I actually like poseidon sword

#

that passive cast bonus is good, plus you don't have to wait for casts

lone kernel
hushed schooner
#

plus exit wounds

topaz yew
#

oh wow

lone kernel
#

Was my weapon of choice for my first 20 heat and em4 victories

plucky brook
#

plus the special's area ||disables all traps & lava||

lean wadi
#

i have completed 4 escapes

hushed schooner
#

wait does it

#

thats realygood

winter harbor
#

||special creates an aura that slows projectiles, reduces damage, and disables traps||

lone kernel
#

That with epic Aphrodite attack is pretty much enough to win by itself on lower heat

hushed schooner
#

didnt realise it did that

plucky brook
#

oh yeah also forgot to mention ||40% damage reduction inside the field||

hushed schooner
#

|| hs + arthur tactics???||

plucky brook
#

haven't tested noncrit builds akek

plucky brook
lone kernel
winter harbor
#

I did mine with fists and hoping I was good enough to avoid them and hoping for sure footing

plucky brook
#

I attempted ||32 heat|| with ||arthur|| last night, got to elysium before making a mistake with SD not realizing the room I was in had no explosive plants :c

winter harbor
#

The winning run ended up not having sure footing but I had aphro's legendary with aphro on attack

plucky brook
#

it'll probably be the weapon I use to actually get the challenge done, just gonna take a few attempts

#

in the mean time just gonna keep slowly raising ||heat|| for practice

hushed schooner
#

cool

swift violet
#

Holy crap I just invested 5 titan blood into the spear and when I talked to achilles ||he gave me the words for guan yu first try||

GOD

#

THE CALL OF ARTEMIS at full cast is residentzag

acoustic plank
#

My last run I had Artemis call, the bar starting at 25%, the bar increasing by 1% every second (or something) and increased bar fill when I take damage. Plus I had pommed it twice.

With the hidden aspect for Rail.

#

Artemis is so good when you can just sit and shoot

swift violet
#

With support fire?

acoustic plank
#

I didn't roll support fire unfortunately, but that would have been good

plucky brook
#

I don't like arte's call, waiting for greater is so lame

#

I'd rather take dio/zeus and spam

brazen lagoon
#

cringe take

#

artemis call = best call

acoustic plank
#

I wasn't waiting for greater. I got greater call in 5 seconds.

tender oxide
#

Lmao

plucky brook
#

Yeah that's fine, just talking in general

acoustic plank
#

It started as a meme build but was actually good

lone kernel
#

I find Artemis call meh in regular rooms and amazing v bosses

#

HL5/TD3 run finally cleared, took 3 tries with Stubborn Defiance, I was trying to get the mirror prophecy but it also added some challenge, I'll probably go back to Death Defiance for now tho.

#

i like poseidon's one the most

#

Twin Fist are the best hands down

lean wadi
#

aspect of talos is pretty fun

plucky brook
#

fists are kinda neat because pretty much every aspect is popular

brisk trail
#

how do i get my roles?

topaz yew
#

oh yeah

plucky brook
#

with some weapons you see a trend occur, but fists have a decent mix

#

#bot-commands @brisk trail

#

But if you want a good fist run

prisma wind

#

BY FAR

lean wadi
#

i like pairing aspect of talos with posion's attack

brisk trail
#

aight

plucky brook
#

I like demeter fists the most

topaz yew
#

Yup

#

if you get her on your left click with her 10 stack explosive proc

#

Its so damn good

#

and i got the doom special with the launch fist

#

freaking nothing survived

#

i just wish i got Dion's right click

plucky brook
#

I meant the aspect, not the god KEKW

topaz yew
#

Oh

lean wadi
#

i got the funny crit special on my most recent run

topaz yew
#

yeah

#

#

plucky brook

#

Is there a way to reset God mode dmg reduction %?

narrow hemlock
#

there is not

brisk trail
#

Ok but I don't understand why people don't identify with one of the both genders

#

Chaos is a mythological entity not a regular human

narrow hemlock
#

as someone who exclusively identifies as they/them, you do not need to be a mythological entity to feel comfortable with alternate pronouns. just respect when someone does

granite ether
#

One sec I have a link for you

brisk trail
#

Umm

granite ether
#

It's related somewhat as chaos is NB :3

brisk trail
#

I'm gonna be honest, I ain't gonna read that

acoustic plank
#

Technically Chaos is an entity but I appreciate the sentiment. I'm NB myself

brisk trail
#

I just wanted to know from some of you how do you end up with that decision, just curious

brazen lagoon
#

sorry to disrupt but this aint really the place for this

Ye, you re right
