if i have slow attack I'll just get dash or call usually
versed mason
surprisingly I don't really like festive fog tho
I'll get an attack boon lol
just not dio
reef zodiac
Oh you mean Dio dash or call
reef zodiac
Dionysus’ Aid is a great boon
versed mason
i agree
reef zodiac
Drunken Dash… not so much
versed mason
and i mean how can ya not love the man's lines too i mean great guy, positively
wary mural
early festive fog with achilles ecauls a lot of one shots
versed mason
im not gonna say drunken dash is great but i like it :)
reef zodiac
Fair enough
reef zodiac
If you want to get great use of drunken dash, just push world record heat with an aspect that struggles to handle damage control
versed mason
reef zodiac
Like if you were gonna do 55+ heat Arthur, you might want Drunken Dash
Well
Yeah maybe? Idk actually
high island
Don't just talk about it, do it.

It's not the boon, it's the player.
reef zodiac

Do you know how many it does? I’m actually not sure
high island
Unless it's Lady Aphrodite boons, those carry hard.

im gonna use my fav build zues zeus shield

I never use drunken dash

im gonna use my fav build zues zeus shield
Good choice
versed mason
and enemies will usually move out of it so you don't get mad dtack
here I'll Google brb
high island
Very sure it's 3.
reef zodiac
Seems right
high island
But since you typically double-dash, you can easily get 5+.
high island
Drunken Dash is actually okay if you get it at high rarity. Pom scaling is as good as any other Hangover boon.
versed mason
drunk dash gilgamesh i think
reef zodiac
Drunken dash Gil does not work as well as you may hope
Since dashes are the primary source of safe damage for the aspect, you need something that hits hard. Drunken Dash… does not do that
high island
You also don't really benefit from 3-4 dashes because you can only apply 5 stacks anyway.
high island
What?
versed mason
you say all these numbers and stuff and man does that just go over my head cause im low heat so anything really works down here
reef zodiac
True…
But also what we’re saying is that Gilgamesh really doesn’t benefit from drunken dash and drunken dash doesn’t benefit from Gil’s extra dashes
versed mason
im still getting used to all of the pact options and stuff
yeah i get there's 5 max stacks but if im using some for not dying and some for """offense""" i figured it'd average out
high island
You could just get Tidal Dash and use all of them for offense.
Or Blade Dash if you prefer that.
Lots of poms on your Dash.
versed mason
i could but i can't help but notice it's not dionysus
hm maybe I'll do all core dionysus boon run
high island
You'd be better off getting him on your Attack on Gilgamesh.
versed mason
yeah i believe it
high island
Will also give you three boons with excellent pom scaling: Drunken Strike, Trippy Shot, Passion Dash.
high island
Curse of Pain is alright on Gilgamesh.
versed mason
alright we got lvl 2 rare fog third chamber
hm cast or special damage from chaos
nvm its cast
ez choice
kinda
calm zenith
Special damage wont do much on gilgamesh
The special is already weaker so it wont even really even out to normal fists special damage I think.
You can do special spam on gilgamesh but you need like rush kick, and you get beat up a lot.
reef zodiac
Interesting to hear someone with the name “maim is good” saying that Gilgamesh special is bad
calm zenith
I like the idea of gilgamesh, not the execution
reef zodiac
Lol fair
calm zenith
Some stuff is still usable. Like dash builds.
But maim is just weird. Like they are never that conservative with global damage.
It's basically just epic billowing dmg
I guess it's because its built in
reef zodiac
Some stuff is still usable. Like dash builds.
Gil still does 50 heat better than at least a few other aspects, or at least according to Ange1man
calm zenith
But Eris
high island
You can still make a lot of different ideas work really well with Gilgamesh up to like 40+ Heat. But then it just honestly becomes so bad compared to almost every other aspect. 
reef zodiac
I found Gil 40 to be easier than at least a few other 40s
calm zenith
Breaching
reef zodiac
My Gil 40 was nearly dash only
high island
Yeah, I think there are a few aspects that are actually worse at high heat than Gilgamesh.
calm zenith
And like for dash damage, maim seems really good
reef zodiac
As long as you don’t get hit
reef zodiac
Yeah, I think there are a few aspects that are actually worse at high heat than ...
Yeah probably
high island
And I also don't think it's the worst aspect in the game tbh, I just think it's the worst at trying to be what it wants to be... and I actually have no clue what it wants to be, it's like all over the place. 
calm zenith
I really think it's for dash boon builds
And able to do other stuff
That's how it ends up at least
reef zodiac
Yeah it feels like the worst because both the attack and special are so incredibly unsafe but having two extra dashes from the start makes a big difference, even if the cooldown is worse
calm zenith
Yeah and it lets you use relentless which can be nice
reef zodiac
50% dodge chance stonks
calm zenith
It's definitely better but sometimes I think it could last a little longer and be a little weaker idk
high island
Gilgamesh is that bard you picked up that accidentally buffs your enemies instead of your party and then you wipe because you take like double damage or something.
reef zodiac
From ruthless reflex?
calm zenith
Yeah
calm zenith
That's good for dash boon damage then
If you have the bonus dashes
Hmm. What if Maim increased attack speed
By the amount its special hammer decreases speed by
So they even out
It would still be troublesome. Maybe more because enemy speed is changing.
high island
Probably not much point in what-ifs that aren't gonna happen anyway. We just gotta work with what we got.
Or play, rather.

Meg is the most meta one

did you make that Waluigi rat emote just for this server
No, I typed in rat into the emoji thubg and it was just there from some random server, I have like 30 servers for emojis of which I use like two per server

they both need dialogue RNG so just give it out evenly
since Meg isn't always around
remember to gift our run saviour Patty too

Hi there i just downloaded the game this week
I have like 11 runs in the game
I dont understand how to unlock weapon aspects
Or find more keepsakes
Like i only have one keepsake
hardy storm
Or find more keepsakes
for keepsakes try giving different people nectar and they should give you a keep sake in return, for weapon aspects you need to make sure you have all the weapons unlocked first and then you can use titan blood which is what you get from killing the fury sisters :)
reef zodiac
I dont understand how to unlock weapon aspects
Once you have every weapon, press the select button on a weapon, then press it again.
It can take a run to unlock after getting the last weapon
And yeah to get more keepsakes, you have to gift nectar to people. Anyone really.

Normal is too easy
reef zodiac
At least do some EM to make it more interesting
sterile current
I did do it a bit overkill, but...
reef zodiac
Normal is too easy
Yes I’ve done 50 heat I understand wanting to make the game harder
I’m saying that’s not a very fun pact
gray apex
It's a gamer pact
sterile current
I’m saying that’s not a very fun pact
Im not doing full heat, Im not doing the ones I consider more annoying than harder
Thats why there's no tight deadline for example
reef zodiac
EM is more annoying than hard?
gray apex
Tight Deadline makes you play better
reef zodiac
TD is great
gray apex
And makes your room clearing cleaner and more efficient
reef zodiac
JS and CP are anti-fun
sterile current
EM is more annoying than hard?
What's EM? I'm currently in a paused run so I can't check the pact
gray apex
Stalling and waiting around and having your run take 50 minutes isn't that impressive to me personally
reef zodiac
What's EM? I'm currently in a paused run so I can't check the pact
Extreme Measures. Harder bossfights
gray apex
Well it's fresh file so you have no EM anyway
sterile current
Extreme Measures. Harder bossfights
Oh, ok

EM, MM, FO, and TD are my go-to fun pacts for my casual runs

sterile current
I guess if you’ve never beat the game maybe it’s not there?
Haven't on this save file

“I’m not getting to Elysium therefore it doesn’t matter that Elysium will be miserable” is a weird argument. Unless your end goal is to die in Tartarus or Asphodel

You can't skip every single room but you can skip a lot of it, especially the harder encounters, given good enough rng
sterile current

Getting to Asphodel would be nice
gray apex
i am very confused
why
sterile current
Sounds like a terrible way to expand into higher heat
Let me just turn on that 5 minute time modifier, yeah
gray apex
5 minutes is a lot easier than you think if you practice it without the other garbage pacts
with enough practice you can turn on the garbage pacts and still be on pace
sterile current
Then win one.
... Ok, let me just win a new file with 27 heat.

No real reason to do hell mode unless you plan on running 50+

Idk man as someone with around 10 40 heat runs under my belt I will literally always take Titan Toppler over pretty much everything unless…the build really requires a specific dash to create a broken interaction, Titan Toppler is good with every build, every weapon, and is simply incredible. I agree with the top post of this comment chain that 8.5 is a little weird for easily the best Dash in the game.
