Sooo yest I played hades again

Prob cause I was playing beowulf before
So the changes was pretty apparent

Two achievements done in one run woo
The Pierced Butterfly 30% and purge a legendary boon achievement

Bows were buffed a lot in 1.0, including charge speed.

Maybe your memories are from before 1.0.

Bows were buffed a lot in 1.0, including charge speed.
it was bad?

I also get insisted on a legendary yest
I purged Unhealthy Fixation
I know I know
But it was a 0 heat run and I only want that achievement
peak orbit
Honestly i love this boon but I had to purge one legendary for the achievement
I'd toss Fully Loaded or Second Wave if I had it (I was using Demeter Fists)
high island
Bow and spear were generally considered the worst weapons before 1.0, yeah.
peak orbit
Spear?
rapid forum
Even at 1.0 I still consider spear was... lackluster
It's like jack of all trades, without the management 101
peak orbit
I actually wanted Spear because I played Genshin Impact for like 2 days
And then I was like "Wow spear is fast, and I kinda want to have a spear"
At first I didn't like the speed
And then I got Flurry Jab

Flurry jab does solve everything

The second time I got it, I cleared Meg for the first time, went to Asphodel, and went all the way up to Lernie

Flurry jab is up there

Spear worst weapon
dont @ me
I understand why people like it but to me it feels very frustrating
peak orbit
I find my two favorite weapons to be fists and rail
But really I have 5 favorite aspects
Critical Dash goes whee, Fly through the screen and throw empowered casts, Shared Suffering, Explosive Shoryuken, and hehe standing in the grenade is a good idea.
robust scaffold
whats critical dash and explosive shoryuken lol
peak orbit
Guess, but all are one aspect in a different weapon. So you can use the process of elimination

enjoy crits everywhere
It was my starter
Ntm it syncs really well with Artemis' Call

Why, yes, of course. The best would be the Queen of Malphon.

Nemesis crit chance only applies to Attack, and it's 30%, not 25%.

why is Hades on switch updating?
high island
Because of the Switch release in Japan.

Lady Artemis on Nemesis is still a decent strategy.

Praise to Lady Aphrodite and Lady Aphrodite only. 
After all, she is the main character.
That's not an embed, Discord. 
brisk trail
But still
A choice between rare Aphrodite's Call and Heroic Artemis' Call
which is why im still salty
high island
That's an easy choice!
unborn remnant
Aphro call goated
brisk trail
friendship with Artemis ended, Aphrodite is my new best bud
high island
Good!
brisk trail
then again they're Gods so "friendship" doesnt really count
high island
Did you know? When Hippolytus, son of King of Theseus, chose Lady Artemis over Lady Aphrodite, Lady Aphrodite made his stepmother fall in love with him, which resulted in her suicide and his death by the hands of his father. Well deserved!
brisk trail
Greeks Gods and Heroes tend to be asses ngl
Exception for Hades just chilling by himself with his wife
Orpheus' tale is just sad
high island
Yeah, Hippolytus was incredibly rude there. 
This canon scene from Hades is also important lore. https://clips.twitch.tv/SpicyPerfectShingleKeyboardCat-xhn9Fpv0rzOGv5cf
peak orbit
Nemesis crit chance only applies to Attack, and it's 30%, not 25%.
Since when
high island
Since Jan 22, 2020 when they increased the crit chance to +30%.
brisk trail
big sad
high island
Dash-Attacks are Attacks.
peak orbit
Wait
brisk trail
wooooooohoooo
brisk trail
high island
As far as I know, it always added crit chance only to Attack.
brisk trail
Hold on Nemesis used to apply crit to everything?
Probably my brain assuming stuff
peak orbit
Oh
brisk trail
Dunno, could have been
high island
It's not an uncommon mistake.
brisk trail
In some build
robust scaffold
~~So also Nemesis is the crit dash I mentioned~~
oic
brisk trail
Then everyone combined Nemesis with single shot damage to 3 hit kill bosses
this is just an imagined scenario
high island
Not in any live build I know of. Maybe if it was before Dec 2019, but I see nothing in the patch notes about it.
brisk trail
Yeh, imagined scenario
high island
Maybe SGG are trying to hide the truth from us.
brisk trail
World Splitter + Nemesis was always my goto when I started out
Chews through everyone until you get shields and really fat HP bars
high island
lol all my early clears were with Shatter Shot.
peak orbit
So I’m posting a new video
high island
Crush Shot before they changed and nerfed it.
peak orbit
I had the worst run luck
brisk trail
who here hasnt done a clear with charged shot for the shield
because abusing that with poseidon's boons is great
peak orbit
I think I only got the option of triple bomb and like I think piercing fire
Eris build
So I was thinking.
brisk trail
Ngl I beated King FBoi and the bullman with only... 18 HP lost cuz of Charm too
Cuz of shield
it pierces through shields
peak orbit
I could pull my luck on the anvil and hopefully get rocket bomb or spread bomb
brisk trail
That was one of my memorable experiences with the shield
peak orbit
I got hazard bomb
high island
Charged Shot is easily the best hammer on any shield. Though I dunno about Tempest Strike on it, that's the lowest % attack by far.
peak orbit
Replaced triple bomb
high island
I have 1,014.4 hours in the game. I don't remember a lot of individual runs anymore.
brisk trail
Charged Shot is easily the best hammer on any shield. Though I dunno about Tempe...
Combine with Poseidon
got a Heroic boon for attack
high island
Tempest Strike is Poseidon's Attack.
brisk trail
now kill everything
peak orbit
I have 1,014.4 hours in the game. I don't remember a lot of individual runs anym...
I was recording it
high island
But his Heroic Attack does less damage than a common Heartbreak Strike with a couple poms on it.
Even if you put poms on his Attack, too.
brisk trail
Anvil Strike is oof
Anvil always hates me...
Right before I did the fight up there
I went for the anvil
It replaced my 40 base damage combo with dash uppercut ones
bruh
And before that
peak orbit
It replaced my 40 base damage combo with dash uppercut ones
Heavy strike?
peak orbit
I think it’s bad honestly
peak orbit
It’s only good if you use damage percentage boons
If you’re like me and you use flat damage it’s bad
brisk trail
It’s only good if you use damage percentage boons
thats exactly what I had
high island
It's still decent with the others, but it benefits more from % damage, yes.
peak orbit
But explosive upper though
brisk trail
that good against bosses
peak orbit
You have IMO the best fist hammer
brisk trail
Never really did fists much so forgive meh
high island
Breaching Cross is easily #1. Explosive Upper and Kinetic Launcher come after that.
brisk trail
Breaching Cross yeee
peak orbit
Explosive upper does double damage and in a much bigger range
What’s so great about breaching cross?
Wouldn’t rolling knuckle be better?
brisk trail
Thats the one that needs dash upper right?
high island
It's not double damage. It's +100% additive bonus damage.
peak orbit
Thats the one that needs dash upper right?
Yeah
high island
Rolling Knuckle is... alright.
stoic flame
rush kick gang
high island
Breaching Cross does +900% damage to armor and pierces.
peak orbit
rush kick gang
YES
brisk trail
How am I supposed to dash upper everywhere while in bullet/laser hell with a knife chop on my middle finger
peak orbit
That’s always my second option
high island
Rush Kick sucks ngl.
stoic flame
i like it
stoic flame
its like magnetic cutter but u go to them instead
unborn remnant
Breaching Cross goated
brisk trail
But there are better stuff
high island
I mean you can make it work, but it adds startup to your Dash-Upper without adding damage.
brisk trail
its like magnetic cutter but u go to them instead
Magnetic Cutter is blessed for those jumping everywhere
stoic flame
me
peak orbit
Breaching Cross does +900% damage to armor and pierces.
So it melts armor alright but is it not better to have flat damage?
brisk trail
Stagger is impossible against armour
high island
It melts armor, what else do you need to know?
brisk trail
And stagger stunlock is important for fists
high island
What are you comparing it to that has flat damage, anyway?
brisk trail
Dunno with him, I just go for stunlock and nonstop clapping on their faces
peak orbit
Idk o figured rolling Nicole will be better because it also does more damage to unarmed enemies and bosses
high island
Rolling Knuckle isn't flat damage, either.
And it adds way less damage over your run than Breaching Cross.
stoic flame
breaching cross is a heaven sent with that one pact which gives armored bois extra moves and stuff
high island
Yeah, it helps a ton at high heat.
high island
I wrote a quick guide for Demeter Aspect here, if you want to take a look at it. #h1-builds-and-combat message
stoic flame
i just realised ive never played dem aspect
it was amongst the first ones i unlocked
its just sitting there
peak orbit
I always sent Lightning Strike/Deadly Flourish
stoic flame
i play mostly zag or gilga
high island
Guide still works for Zag Fists and Talos, except on Talos you don't really use the Uppercut. You just apply the debuff with Special and immediately cancel into Dash.
peak orbit
I heard someone mention Curse of Drowning as a fun build for Talos
high island
There are more effective builds, but it can work.
high island
Duunk0 certainly knows his stuff.
stoic flame
i dont like curse of drowning
peak orbit
I know that he believes Merciful End is the best and therefore the primary way for serious speedrunners on Talos
peak orbit
i dont like curse of drowning
I think you need to seriously build around it for it to work
high island
Yeah, ME is easily #1 for speed. No question about that.
peak orbit
Duunk0 certainly knows his stuff.
IIRC he said that Talos is specifically a bad cast weapon so nobody plays cast builds on it. But he mentions Curse of Drowning as a potential for fun build and he’s insistent about that
I never got it even though I tried to build to that
Mostly because I tried to get Merciful End with Curse of Drowning in the same run
high island
Blizzard Shot with Heavy Knuckle and Mirage Shot is both very effective and a lot of fun on Talos. I had the Talos heat WR with that in Early Access.
peak orbit
What blizzard and mirage Shot?
high island
You just keep pulling everything back into your Blizzard Shot AOE.
peak orbit
Wait is it the Artemis Poseidon duo?
high island
That's Mirage Shot, yeah. Blizzard Shot is Poseidon + Lady Demeter.
peak orbit
Oh
high island
But even just getting Blizzard Shot on Talos works really well.
stoic flame
like u cant be interrupted
peak orbit
Why Heavy Blow though?
high island
Because it does good damage with Deadly Strike and +50% Attack damage from your debuff.
high island
that one which makes u permenantly sturdy
That's Poseidon + Lady Athena: Unshakable Mettle.
stoic flame
isnt that what they asked
oh wait they said artemis
smh
arte pos duo shoots that second cast
with less damage
high island
Or with the same damage on Beowulf.
crisp zodiac
An update just hit the Switch version. Which one is that? Which patch notes are for us?
high island
That's for the Switch launch in Japan.
potent wolf
aww I got excited for no reason then :c
high island
@crisp zodiac @potent wolf you should be able to see the version number on the title screen, then you can check with #hades-patch-notes. But you should also be able to see patch notes in-game from the title screen.
I think they wanted to bring the Switch version up to date with the PC version with the JP launch, but not entirely sure.
crisp zodiac
Ah. I do not see in-game patch notes.
high island
You don't have that option?
Anyway, if it's V1.38xxx, you have the latest version.
potent wolf
nope I dont have that option-
potent wolf
Anyway, if it's V1.38xxx, you have the latest version.
okay
so its only japanese stuff
high island
I don't know what the Switch version was before that.
I think the only differences to PC were translations and maybe some typos here and there in the English text.
Unrelated to that, the new Hades Monthly Challenge is pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat if you want to try it.
crisp zodiac
Right on, and yeah, no, for some reason, the devs don't put the patch notes option in the title menu on Switch.

One of my friends worked on the Chinese translations
I was honestly shocked to hear that's what he did
So guys random question
Zag Bow: Three choices
Twin Shot, Triple Shot, Flurry Shot
cursive copper
I noticed it more accurately reflect near misses
manic bobcat
Either Twin or Trip
signal aspen
i would take twin shot
manic bobcat
I would go Twin personally.
peak orbit
So I took Twin
Well glad I made the right choice
I already picked Twin but I got cold feet so I'm asking you guys now so I could make a decision next time
Triple is better at close range right?
Also does all your arrows pierce enemies/
is it just an Explosive shot problem?
signal aspen
yeah your arrows pierce enemies
peak orbit
Does Explosive make your shots no longer pierce?
signal aspen
yeah
peak orbit
No wonder I hated it

SO second hammer
signal aspen
when you take one of athenas DD boons with a missing SD you get a permanent athena DD and when you walk out of that room you get your SD back
manic bobcat
Let's say you see a room with Athena reward. Let's also assume that the reward is DD replenishment.
If you die once in that room, you get a DD and an extra SD after you wal out.
If you don't die, you get only the passive.
peak orbit
when you take one of athenas DD boons with a missing SD you get a permanent athe...
Oh cool
manic bobcat
Basically, see Athena room, make sure you die once if on SD assuming you have prereq.
signal aspen
but make sure you have her attack, special, cast, or dash when you take the athena boon
otherwise you wont get the DD boons
peak orbit
Is Perfect Shot better than Flurry Shot? I'm thinking of taking that one
manic bobcat
Yeah added the edit because ik someone would yell at me
manic bobcat
Is Perfect Shot better than Flurry Shot? I'm thinking of taking that one
Either
What's your attack boon
And dash boon?
manic bobcat
Yeah
peak orbit
I thought Perfect would pair with Twin and Heart Rend better
manic bobcat
Well up to you
peak orbit
Hmmmmmm
manic bobcat
I would go flurry
peak orbit
But Fox tell me why you think Flurry shot is good
signal aspen
take flurry if you dont know how to play bow, take perfect if you know how to play bow
peak orbit
I understand Flurry is good but of course I'd fall closer to Perfect
manic bobcat
But you Twin Flurry is a specific combo that trumps Twin Perfect
peak orbit
So I do want to know why Flurry is good
manic bobcat
More damage
manic bobcat
Just experience. Look, dash strike with perfect strike is great, but the charging time is not worth if you already have twin shot and natural crit from zag bow
It makes boss fights easier.
Normally i would go Perfect if I have Hunter Dash
peak orbit
Oh?
manic bobcat
Forget the dash strike
peak orbit
I'll give it a shot
peak orbit
Got it
signal aspen
normally i would go aphro attack with artemis special just so i can get heartrend, and then take hunters dash
so i would go perfect shot
but flurry shot with twin shot is really good
manic bobcat
Also flurry gets me more consistent backstab damage
Dunno why, maybe it's just I don't have to charge the arrow.
high island
Dunno which one is better for DPS on Zag Bow, but Flurry is #1 on Hera.
Flurry Triple is always kinda busted for boss fights.
peak orbit
WTF is this
I'm melting Theseus
Fox you are right crap
Flurry is #1 on Hera?
But isn't i bad because you can't control the cast shots?
high island
Wdym can't control?
All Hera cares about is Cast damage and delivering your Cast on target asap.
signal aspen
just point and click
high island
Flurry Shot delivers your Casts faster than any other hammer.
peak orbit
But you can't aim your casts?
signal aspen
just point and click
dusky wedge
You guys aim? I just make Zag face the direction of the enemy

Just point your stick and press Attack. I dunno. You have auto-aim, anyway.

the furniture is here indeed

Just point your stick and press Attack. I dunno. You have auto-aim, anyway.
oh...
Okay so now I remember why i loved the Spear the first itme I got it
I first used it on my sixth run. At that time, i got Flurry Jab, and that one thing (with Deadly Strike) got me my first kill against Meg and got me straight into Lernie
It took me until my eleventh run to reach Asphodel apparently, and that was with the bow
Okay so the second time I got Flurry Jab I got all the way to Theseus when it was only the second time I reached Elysium
Okay yeah Flurry Jab is a crutch
It's just a crutch
manic bobcat
Did you finish the bow run?
peak orbit
Yup
I nearly died because I was so focused on getting damage I wasn't prepared for forced overtime dad
Okay my first ever clear was so weird looking back on it

not a content update

What was the update for exactly?
narrow hemlock
probably minor fixes and localization stuff
if they dont make patch notes for it its small stuff
dark vector
the recent patch note was 3 days ago
this is my fave part: "You can no longer rudely walk away from Cerberus when forging a bond with him"
narrow hemlock
yeah thats updating in line with the pc update from april #hades-patch-notes message
there hasnt been anything since then though, so any switch updates is just bringing it up to date with pc + any other small stuff that comes up

I did that for spear prophecy with Guan Yu trying to get explosive skewer or smthn

hammers are random, but some aspects are incompatible with some hammers
but cursed slash is compatible with all swords

some hammers are incompatible with other hammers too

Cursed Slash I never use except on Hades fight
Cuz it messed with getting ur health bar up

I got a notice today that Hades had an update available (I'm on the Switch) so I installed it. Does anyone have any idea what it consisted of? I don't see any mention of it in #hades-patch-notes or even on SuperGiant's website ( https://www.supergiantgames.com/blog/hades-updates/ ). Yet my version string that I have (v1.38130) is further along than the latest one mentioned in #hades-patch-notes (v1.38099), so something got updated. I am not able to discern any difference in game though.

either get stuff to charge call faster or have lots of dd and take a lot of dmg
glass salmon
or if you're in elysium you can just kill the long spear and wait for it to respawn
that's how i did it
leaden shore
I just had a run that had literally everything I like

Does Artemis's crit rates make up for the lower flat damage % than Aphrodite?

u need additional sources of percent dmg for artemis to deal more dmg than aphro
i think one chaos boon + boiling blood should be enough

Does Artemis's crit rates make up for the lower flat damage % than Aphrodite?
Aspect dependent I would say. Artemis offers a better scaling with hunter's mark. You usually want artemis on strong base damage : Guan Yu's special, Rocket Bomb Rail, Charged Shot/Pulverizing blow Shield etc

How do you go above 20 heat on a weapon? Like how do you start earning Titan blood after 20 heat?

So what happens if you get 20 heat for every weapon? Is the game over?

by then, you wont need titan blood anymore
burnt stone
Yeah but I was wondering if there was anything else to do after that… It’s like I’ve unlocked everything outside of catching all the fish and the building decorations
modern garnet
every game will run out of stuff to do eventually
modern garnet
off the top of my head, after 20 heat you can get the 32 heat skelly statue, you can buy the resource director ranks, you can do all the cheevos
hollow hawk
thats what i did after getting bored of casual runs
started speedrunning and doing high heat.
You can find guides for beginning on 32 heat (which is usually consider the beginning of high heat) pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies, and there's a seperate speedrunning discord server, whose invite is pinned in #self-promotion
high island
There will still be ranks to get and cosmetics to buy when you've finished your bounties.

i gave bouldy nectar already but i haven't gotten the companion
is it more than once?

you don't get the companion from bouldy
you get it from sisyphus, after doing his favor
which requires ||talking to nyx to find his contract in the admin chamber, and then buying his contract for diamonds at the contractor||

you get regular aspects after you get all weapons
you get hidden aspects by spending titan blood in a specific way
there's a guide somewhere in the pins for #h1-story-discussion i think

I have titan blood but I still don’t know how to upgrade, I’m using the fists

are you in the courtyard with skelly?

how many weapons do you have

you need to win a run

Without spoiling bosses, I made it to the third area, how far am I from winning?
chrome wharf
the beginning of the 3rd or end of 3rd
fallow mountain
Mini boss
modern garnet
do you have all 6 weapons
chrome wharf
then it might be:
get all weapons
do another run
pick up a weapon, then interact with it in the same place
that should unlock the upgrades menu
fallow mountain
Wait don’t have the gun
modern garnet
if you do a run after you unlocked fists, the gun will appear
and the run after you unlock gun, aspects will appear
fallow mountain
Just need to unlock it brb
modern garnet
also, the third boss is for many new players a significant hurdle compared to all previous challenges
fallow mountain
Ok, I have will power
chrome wharf
guess I suffer from success and got my first win before all weapons
fallow mountain
What would y’all say is better, explosive upper or breaking cross?

What would y’all say is better, explosive upper or breaking cross?
Personally, I don’t use the upper attacks that much, so Breaching cross

i tend to avoid dash strike buffs and armor damaging buffs, but you choose based on your playstyle

get zeus special, make sure ur special is hitting them a lot
then u can dash attack and bull rush for more dmg
its also really safe if u just shield urself while ur special does all the dmg

Rather than blaming it on luck, try to think of what you can do to improve your odds of getting what you want.
high island
For example, when you want a specific god's legendary, unlocking any Duo Boons of that god will hurt your chances a lot.
glass salmon
I wonder if it's possible to finish my last 2 achievements whilst finishing transistor and fire watch
Today
rapid forum
if you believe hard enough
glass salmon
My last 2 achievements aren't hard
high island
It's because for each of the three boon slots, you have a chance to roll legendary/duo. And if that roll is successful, it picks one of the legendary or duo boons you're eligible for at random.
So if you're only eligible for the legendary, that roll being successful means you definitely get the legendary.
glass salmon
I need to get 3 stars with the Demeter keepsake and get 30% damage with the than keepsake
high island
But if you're also eligible for just 1 duo, it's 50/50.
glass salmon
i keep geting duos with legendaries
Once I got 2 duos in 2 different choices in the same escape attempt
I was pisssd off
Cause they were all so good

And if you're eligible for even more, it gets even worse.
