r yarn able to make epic heroic

high island
#

No.

strong ridge
#

thx

high island
#

Yarn of Ariadne and Refreshing Nectar just guarantee that the boons you get are at least Rare. And you also get slightly increased chance to get epic or duo/legendary.

strong ridge
#

so yarn is scaled down nectar awsom

#

(length)

high island
#

Right.

subtle coral
#

but to be honest, i quite suck with ranged weapons

#

i like melee more

#

rail is cool but the bow uncanny

slim geyser

bow is tough

novel narwhal
#

k

lone kernel
# subtle turret Whats a damage source?

basically what youre doing for offense. like is it achilles spear focused on cast? hades spear with spin focus? there wasnt enough info there for me so i wanted more

novel narwhal
#

around what escape attempt do you unlock aspects?

brisk trail
#

aspects are unlocked after reaching hades iirc

novel narwhal
#

really oh come on i beat him multiple times already and still no aspects although im around escape attempt 20

#

wait i need all weapons unlocked for aspects right

lone kernel
#

Yes

novel narwhal
#

i forgot about that part

#

have you ever done a exit wounds build?

slim geyser
#

posideon sword

novel narwhal
#

ik but i mean how is it before my file got wiped i did it but i dont remember much about it other than it was pretty damn op

#

i got 9% movement speed bonus from bouldy, is that rare?

lone kernel
novel narwhal
#

oh yea what is needed for cthonic companions i know ambrosia is right or is it the other one i cant remember the name of

lost storm
#

i have plume as well

novel narwhal
#

you are speed

lost storm
#

ambrosia

#

is right

novel narwhal
#

how many hearts is needed for it?

lost storm
#

i think u have to max it

#

about 3 ambrosia

#

except for dusa

novel narwhal
#

three? i thought that it was one tho i only really had dusa but i had skelly as well? but i only spent one for them i think

lost storm
#

wait i might be mistaken

#

my memory is horrendous

#

i think companions only take 1

#

but for bonds u need to max the heart (if im not mistaken)

novel narwhal
#

what do bonds do i never got one

lost storm
#

it's just there

#

u get a cute icon of the characters on their keepsakes

novel narwhal
#

oh yea how many hearts for hades trinket

lost storm
#

either until you give him ambrosia or max out his nectar hearts

#

after bringing back persephone

novel narwhal
#

damn it i have 7 more times to beat him then

#

cause it takes 10 right?

lost storm

Can I still get the lyre achievement if the musician and the muse (orpheus leaving) achievement is complete?

Good to know, thanks

#

okay so i’m fighting asterius 1v1 and when i’m almost finished killing him thanatos’ thing shows up above him. is he really that?

twin thistle
gray apex
#

He still shows up in the fight

#

It just looks cool

#

No pun intended

random tiger
#

Hello I just beat Hades with all the mirror of the night perks, but they didnt count towards the dark reflection prophecy

#

anyone knows if there-s a bug related to that prophecy?

lone kernel
random tiger
#

I did

#

I was missing like 7 in the dark reflection prophecy, i just completed a run while having those 7 equipped, and the game didn't count it

#

I feel cheated ngl

#

I love the game and it's very annoying to find something like this in it

feral belfry
#

They keep track of what you've done

#

Just go look

#

9/10 these things are user error

proud pilot
#

damn just failed a 32heat with zag sword, had almost a perfect ME build, died 2nd phase of dad, didnt have lot of health 😦

polar quail
#

how much health did you have

proud pilot
#

around 180-200 something like that

#

yeah i try to do other weapons, yesterday i finaly managed to win 32heat with chiron ^^

high island
#

You lost at weapon aspect select. courte5Wut

polar quail
#

of all aspects why zag sword

proud pilot
#

ahah well i make some tries ^^

#

i always play nemesis so.. wanted to change

polar quail
#

could do zag bow. thats similar with crit builds

high island
#

So... you picked Lv.0 Nemesis.

proud pilot
#

^^

#

i tried arthur but that was rly hard ^^'

novel narwhal
#

how do you get arthur aspect i forgot

proud pilot
strong ridge
#

dangg

brisk trail
#

Does hera drop in high heat?

gray apex
#

Yes

#

Starts around 45

high island
#

It's already noticeably worse at 32 than anything below that because now you have to take pacts that hurt your build, and Hera does not like that at all. It also doesn't like Bruiser enemies because you can't just kill them in one shot.

brisk trail
#

I'm clinging to it (i'm coping)

polar quail
#

yep achilles spear is way easier than rama

#

I will stick with this for now until I clear at 32 heat

brisk trail
#

The only other weapon I half know how to play is is nemesis sword but I forgot what boons and hammers are good because I haven't played in a while

manic bobcat
#

Crit, %Damage and Double Edge

tacit nimbus
#

It would be pretty funny if getting Charon's bond decreased the price of the diamond/titan blood by a single obol.

polar quail
#

if it wasn't like, a joke thing

tacit nimbus
#

If it wasn't a joke thing, they could decrease out of run prices (darkness, gemstones, cthonic keys, diamonds, titan blood) by %25 or something.

#

forging a bond is expensive on it's own.

polar quail
#

that also works

#

i'm usually not looking to buy the titans blood from styx anyway, so it would be better if that was the reward.

slim geyser
#

tbh i wish you could buy nectar from charon

tacit nimbus
#

closest there is unfortunately is cthonic keys.

polar quail
#

if you by cthonic keys it doesn't give a reroll right?

#

I never buy keys in run

tacit nimbus
#

no clue

mint coral
#

yeah buying doesnt give the benefits

feral belfry
#

No way

feral belfry
#

Rama way easier dusa

polar quail
#

if you're good with the aspect I can see it being easy.

#

but I've only cleared with it once and probably didn't use it well.

feral belfry
#

Takes a wee bit if practice but fighting at distance is easier for me than melee

polar quail
#

fighting at distance is definitely easier than melee.

fervent glacier
#

hi

polar quail
#

I'm just a bit too slow with it, so I'd have to get better at using it.

feral belfry
#

Play on fo2 for like ten attempts then turn it off

steep comet
#

2 questions
1; if I get dionysus on special, and then a chaos boon that increases special damage, will only the initial damage increase or the drunken DOT as well?
2; for athena if I get the "your abilitties that can deflect also make foes exposed", and I have deflect on dodge, so I apply exposed by dodge even if I don't deflect?

high island
#

Flourish from Master Chaos doesn't affect status effects like Hangover.

steep comet
high island
#

When it says +% Attack damage or +% Special damage, yeah.

steep comet
#

thanks

mint coral
#

If it says "deflect abilities also X", no need for other attacks

dusty warren
#

Quick question how do you keep giving a character nectar once it becomes locked?

novel narwhal
#

you use ambrosia

dusty warren
#

Oh ok thanks

fervent glacier
#

hey guys i'm new hi

finite lodge
fervent glacier
#

how are you doing

gray apex
#

hi new

fervent glacier
#

hi again

polar quail
fervent glacier
#

thanks

polar quail
#

you're welcome

dusty warren
gray apex
#

You have to finish their favor to unlock the locked heart

dusty warren
#

Wait is that just a chance thing when talking to them?

gray apex
#

They're not strictly dialogue

#

There's some other stuff too

dusty warren
#

Wait then let’s take nyx for example, how do I do her favour?

mint coral
#

do the quest to reunite her with Chaos

gray apex
#

You have to reunite her with Chaos yea

mint coral
#

their favors are on the wiki iirc

dusty warren
#

Oh thanks

proud pilot
#

32 heats nemesis : DONE 😄

#

Now i have to do spear, shield and rail. Yeah, the rail will be the last on the list lol

polar quail
#

wait rail as the last? eris rail was easy for me

proud pilot
#

rail is the weapon i played the least 😒 but i'll do it with eris i think too, that's the only aspect i played with the rail ^^ this aspect is cool yeah

#

im bad with the reload mechanic ^^'

proud pilot
#

yeah it seems powerfull, but you have to get used to the shoot/reload/shoot/reload... to make it very strong ^^

#

i tried once lucifer and it was a disaster, had no clue how to play that aspect 😂

mint coral
#

Like budget eris

#

Or super soaker memeing

past gate
#

I may be mistaken, but I think that if you have Spread Fire, the shotgun hammer upgrade, the charged Hestia shot gets the increased damage but has its normal range

mint coral
#

Spread fire doesnt affect hestia reloaded shot

#

Know from experience dusa

past gate
#

I really never get anything right, don't I bouldy

#

This game's weird

mint coral
#

Game works pretty fine till you look at beo tbh

#

Or speedruns/high heat

proud pilot
#

lol

#

beo is totaly fine wdym 🙃

gray apex
#

Beo is perfect

mint coral
#

Perfectly broken

signal aspen
#

beo is a perfectly balanced aspect

proud pilot
#

thats how we like it

mint coral
#

Such a good high risk-reward with itd +10% dmg taken

crude surge
#

Beo is gameplay as intended

#

It’s a feature

signal aspen
#

yeah beo is very risky

crude surge
#

A whole one heat

#

Huge

mint coral
#

For me the most funny thing is that mirage shot went unnoticed cause people were doing charged flight strats

mint coral
#

Hard labor is 20%

gray apex
past gate
#

Even though I can see how it's better, I still like Zeus more because it's fast
Also I did my first run with Trippy Shot, just like I did for Hera, so at first I thought it was just Hera but again lmfao

mint coral
#

"hera but double the dmg"

proud pilot
#

^^

past gate
#

I really don't get what the deal is with Zag blocking bullets without having his shield in front of him, it looks pretty dumb

signal aspen
#

beo is just better hera

past gate
past gate
mint coral
past gate
#

I'm too used to zoomin ig

mint coral
#

Rn hera is faster bouldy

proud pilot
#

is it a joke or real? lol

signal aspen
#

real

mint coral
#

Compare it to non beo block angle bouldy

proud pilot
#

oh

#

😂

past gate
#

The shield really just turns Zag's skin into metal

past gate
#

He can block with his face now

signal aspen
#

regular shield bouldy

past gate
proud pilot
#

lol

#

didnt know the angle was different with beo, good to know

mint coral
#

I think zag puts beo sideways to block tbh

#

Only explanation bouldy

gray apex
#

Yea

proud pilot
#

^^ yeah

gray apex
#

So it’s actually accurate

past gate
#

Tbh it would be interesting if the visuals actually aligned with the block

gray apex
#

I tried to make use it for some stuff

signal aspen
past gate
#

It would mean that instead of facing the projectiles like you do with normal shield, you'd have to look at a different angle

gray apex
#

But it doesn’t do much

past gate
#

Could provide some variety

mint coral
high island
proud pilot
#

😂

mint coral
#

Charged flight was nerfed so mirage could run

past gate
#

High heat must be something else

signal aspen
#

hl5 + double dmg bp perk

high island
#

The Beowulf playstyle that's normal now looked pretty underwhelming at the time compared to Charged Flight.

past gate
#

So the Bruiser types are double damage, and health up?

#

Dang

high island
past gate
#

I thought there would probably be a damage increase but not this much

signal aspen
past gate
#

This is Zeus

high island
#

Yeah, that's what I said.

signal aspen
mint coral
#

Is other bp perk that gives the dmg bonus

past gate
#

Ah

#

Yeah, I'm still a bit confused as to how those work, haven't played that many runs with them especially since I'm mostly practicing EM3 for now

the building I work in had a inventory swap day where everyone brought down their unwanted electronics etc, and you can take whatever you wanted and the rest would go into the garbage. There was this mad old monitor (like it was a cube and the screen was less than 1 foot by 1 foot and I so wanted to drag it home to see if I could hook my Switch onto it to play Hades but it was so heavy and I didn't want to face the heartbreak of doing all that for my switch to go "what is this old thing i can't talk to it" so i didn't failbag

my laptop (bought 2 years ago) has weird audio dropping issues with the default settings so I switched to 32 bit and they stopped

Question to anyone: what is your most recommended boon

slim geyser
#

depends on build

#

divine dash is always good though

rich gulch
#

On that topic, I've concluded that passion dash might possibly be not too bad, mayhaps. Certainly something to consider well before deciding to sell at the Pool.

vocal wing
#

what about Athena's cast. I've heard some bad things about it but I don't get why people think its bad

especially if you have something like heart rend to go with it

the other cat did the math

signal aspen
#

better cat

#

Also what math lmao I just got it from the wiki

mint coral
#

@tawdry fossil moving here to not spoiler mark everything
beowulf most crazy bug is about mirage shot duo boon

#

if your cast is a "flare" instead of shot, mirage shot 2nd cast wont aplly the dmg reduction

#

so you get double dmg dusa

tawdry fossil
#

well I'm only unlocking the ability to use titan blood on the next run so itll be a long time before I can use the aspect

oblique ember
#

zeus/athena fists by far the easiest hydra run

oblique ember
#

alright minotaur duo take 2

#

this run is somewhat clean

#

just made a build that lets me spam special and be able to deflect with anything

#

well just beat asterius for the first time no defiance required

#

aaand choked HARD on theseus

#

big yikes

high island
#

Just gotta get more experience in the fight.

oblique ember
#

100%

#

I was totally thrown off guard when I realized he was fighting melee

#

and even more when he started using his specials

#

almost had him though, wouldn't have been a deserved win but could've been a clutch win

#

also learned that the best way to fight asterius up front is to just duke it out with him and time your attacks so they block his

#

like fencing

dawn shard
#

I remember my first few fights with Theseus, it‘s something alright, but after a few more tries you‘ll definitely get there! And yeah with Asterius that‘s kind of it, there is a safer strat where you can wait after he does his jump attack, but that takes a lot of time

oblique ember
twin thistle
#

well like youre not gunna be deflecting without athena

dawn shard
#

Athena in general is super helpful with any close range weapon against the heroes

brisk trail
#

Ngl, even tho I’m still bad at this game and I’m not good at these type of game, I still really like Hades and tbh, it’s my favorite. I don’t fully know what about this game that I really like but something about it make it pretty enjoyable.

lone kernel
#

none of this defeatist stuff

#

upset come from behind victory sure but like

#

dont make yourself wrong for winning

calm zenith
#

I've literally put 0 thought into that fight countless times and still won

#

Its fine

#

When you get enough damage you dont need to react to them at all

#

They die in like 2 seconds

#

That's cheap

#

Getting a win while actually reacting to enemy actions isnt

slim geyser
#

so how would you classify 100% for this game

oblique ember
scarlet ice
#

if there is one complaint i have with this game that I otherwise think is amazing and have sunk a ton of time into, its the frequent use of impervious barriers on bosses. nothing is more frustrating then sending a fully charged artemis call into a health checkpoint where it all gets soaked by the barrier. I know that its predicatable and always happens at the same %, but it really interrupts the flow of the game to play around it

hushed lotus
#

I only wish tight deadline would pause

slim geyser
#

i wish i would time it correctly around meg summons is what i wish

scarlet ice
#

how do they have four hearts? mine only goes up to two

#

is that their ability or something

gray apex
#

Yes

#

It’s Benefits Package

scarlet ice
#

ah

gray apex
#

It gives armored enemies 1 or 2 perks depending on BP1 or BP2

#

They’re random

#

It’s not specific to brimstones etc

hushed lotus
#

This is me trying 27 heat and having a bad time

gray apex
#

What pact and aspect are you doing

high island
gray apex
fast willow
#

inb4 ri1 cp2

hushed lotus
#

Hera bow; pact was 2x each the first four I think, EM 3, BP 2, MM 1, TD 7m. Can't remember if that's a little off

#

Huge jump in heat since I usually take EM4 and <=24 heat

gray apex
#

You can keep doing that

#

Or try to learn TD3

#

It just takes some practice but it’s easy

#

And worth a lot of heat

#

Also take UC

hushed lotus
#

I do UC at higher heats sometimes

#

I'm too greedy to deal with it as a preference

gray apex
#

UC is free heat at this level

#

It’s better to take than CF and Js

#

LC4 + SD also a good thing to start practicing

hushed lotus
#

5m is gonna be tough since I already go as fast as I can

gray apex
#

Yea but you have Jury summons

#

So that’s not a good metric

hushed lotus
#

That's true in general without any JS

#

I'm sure it's doable

#

But there isn't any low hanging fruit to improve

gray apex
#

You can definitely improve your room clearing, also you’re using True Shot which is one of the weakest options for Hera

#

The only thing you get is tracking

#

Which isn’t that amazing when you can aim with your arrow

hushed lotus
#

Really? I thought crits is generally big damage

gray apex
#

Crits are nice but you cant put crits on everything and do good damage

#

On Hera you just want the attack

#

Hunter’s mark possibly

#

That’s about it

#

Your cast should be crush shot

#

Best cast overall for Hera

hushed lotus
#

Yeah, aphro is the other one I do

gray apex
#

It’ll help you burst stuff so you can keep on killing stuff instead of waiting for your casts to pop out

#

Therefore you’ll also be faster

#

It’s pretty much the speedrunning build

hushed lotus
#

mm

twin thistle
#

crits rely on additional damage from other sources

#

otherwise they arent as good as higher% like aphro

hushed lotus
#

I did some quick math the other day showing they average around the same damage over time

#

I'll try to dig that up later

#

Dunno what it would be missing

gray apex
#

That’s probably true for bosses

#

For normal rooms crits alone aren’t as good

hushed lotus
#

Right - I figure by the time I'm in Elysium many enemies would need more than a few hits, so it's fair to take into account

gray apex
#

Needs hunter’s mark or other scaling as UnAnanas said

hushed lotus
#

I also figured that Artemis' other boons to make crits better were better scaling than mere poms

#

I wasn't as sure about that though

#

For what little that may be worth

gray apex
#

Crush shot has aoe aswell

#

And the scaling is better nonetheless

raw herald
#

Crush shot has about 1.3x base damage and is AOE and inflicts weak

#

And has no travel time

#

It’s so much better

and take a deep breath when he's trash talking at the beginning literally just wait until you feel centered to start the fight

also be aware that hes gonna shoot out a blast you need to dash over right as phase 2 starts

if you got to dad phase 2, somethings working

its not about blowing him out its about incremental progress

i have full mirror though

hades is my first roguelike game

so i guess thats why i suck lol

take a look at the build guide

Tried EM4 for the first time today
Holy crap is the music e p i c
The 50-damage spear throws are the bane of my existence rn but the rest is pretty cool tbh

#

Although I thought phase 3 would change the fight more instead of just dark mode

#

Anyway, what's a consistent way to not get wrecked by Cerberus?

reef zodiac
#

Those are my biggest issue with EM4 for sure

#

Especially that they go through block at close range because hitbox

past gate
#

Oh yeah, I got one-shot out of my last death defiance when he was really low

#

Got hit by the heat bubble and took 100 damage from one throw

lone kernel
past gate
#

Oh, it's time based?

lone kernel
#

or use athenas aid aPES_Laugh

past gate
#

Cool

lone kernel
#

Yeah I think it’s 2/3 of his second bar gone he will call dog

Someone fact check me tho I’m not positive

That works too

I simp for Poseidon’s aid so that helps a lot

What's the real point of Athena's Aid when poseidon has similar iframes and amazing damage?

strong ridge

if u go to the bottom right of the arena i think it is easier to dodge cerby there

#

ime

lone kernel
past gate
#

Oh, yeah

lone kernel
#

On fists, I rather Poseidon

#

Also athena opens up extra defiances which at high heat I’m taking, and I rather take useful boon than not useful boon

past gate
#

I had a nuts run today, got Rama on a crit build with both triple shot and point blank

#

The close-up hits could easily deal thousands of damage lmao

lone kernel
#

Yeah now imagine charging that point blank for free

#

Exactly

#

That’s one way you’d skip dog

reef zodiac
#

But at high heat, you’re very rarely gonna skip cerb, at least not without a ton of skill (way more than I have at least)

signal aspen
#

dog skip isnt skill tbh its just a bunch of damage

lone kernel

Or shield I frames

strong ridge

every day is cerb day

Knowing how to macro

good luck

do you think I Should go with Arhtur or Enkidu claws?

machine gun

bow

rotund galleon

gun isn't my best weapon

strong ridge
#

melee is a lot tougher on em4 if u goin blind but if u must melee probably nemesis ME build

rotund galleon
#

hmm

#

I'll try it with sword once

strong ridge
#

i will b real w u u probably aint walkin out of em4 anyway so do w/e probably

rotund galleon

I understood nothing from that sentence

strong ridge

em4 hard probably wont matter what u bring death is likely

lone kernel
#

Yeah whatever you’re best at use that and don’t be surprised if you lose

#

It’s hard af

rotund galleon
#

picking Ares is always a pain

polar quail
#

not always

#

when u need him hes useful

rotund galleon
#

but Ares call is invul

polar quail
#

moreso than demeter

rotund galleon
#

I can cheese that

polar quail
#

then dont take the call.

rotund galleon
#

what? cheese is good

polar quail
#

oh i thought u said awful

#

sorry I read it wrong

rotund galleon
#

lul

polar quail
#

never used ares' call

#

people call it bad

#

so I assumed thats what you were doing at first

rotund galleon
#

I'm going to try to use it on Hades

#

to dodge

#

zeus did not appear in Tartars

proud pilot
#

omg im so bad with zeus shield.. Its hard to control the shield all over the room

polar quail
#

zeus shield is fun

proud pilot
#

yes its fun but hard to play

strong ridge
polar quail
#

you can bull rush while its zooming around the room

rotund galleon
#

I picked Ares shield for the invul during the call

polar quail
#

its not really hard to me

#

and you can call the special back to come towards you by pressing x or whatever your button mapped for it is

strong ridge
#

is a chaos zeus shield crossover too much to ask for

proud pilot
#

yeah i know that, i just have to play it more to get better with it ^^

polar quail
#

ill probably do zeus shield for my 3rd 32 heat run after achilles

#

I haven't used it in a while

#

then after that, zeus demeter fists (since I have lots of practice with that already), and for the bow, rama. whats the easiest 32 heat for the sword? nemesis? I hate the sword

proud pilot
#

i did it with nemesis personaly

#

my fav sword

strong ridge
#

nem me/heart rend
pos exit wounds/hunting blade
arthur aprho

mint coral
#

I did poseidon sword

proud pilot
#

bow i tried rama a lot but finaly i won the run with chiron ^^

polar quail
#

i have played with poseidon sword before and thats my only clear with the sword. I did a seastorm build. it was my tenth clear

calm zenith
#

You dont need to kite Zeus shield

#

That's harder

#

Just toss it out and return it

polar quail
#

wait it wasnt my tenth win..but it was one of my first ten wins

#

yeah

#

i absolutely clowned hades

calm zenith
#

Return it when it's no longer damaging enemies, ideally so it passes through enemies again

proud pilot
#

okay

calm zenith
#

Kiting is super slow too

#

It's just funny

proud pilot
#

yeah

#

^^

strong ridge
#

if u throw the shield behind u then charge towards enedmies and return it it works good

polar quail
#

i have like no titans blood in the sword aspects.

calm zenith
#

Yeah that works well

#

And just get Zeus special for now

polar quail
#

just 5 in zag since I figured may as well since I'm going to max them all out eventually, and however many in poseidon to get 1 level

calm zenith
#

Poseidon doesnt need a bunch of lvls really

polar quail
#

since I'm eventually going to do 32 heat with every single weapon aspect, it'll be interesting seeing if zag sword turns out to be the hardest one.

polar quail
calm zenith
#

It gets better for one shotting enemies with cast which is what you want but it still does the main effect of removing casts from enemies

#

Which still helps a lot for dps vs bosses

strong ridge
#

depends how u want pos to work but for exit wound lvl dont matter that much

sour isle
#

im think of trying a shotgun build for the rail

#

how good is it?

rich gulch
#

What I've really enjoyed is using the rail special with the hammer that makes it Big and Red ™️ Love making it overpowered.

indigo mountain
#

personally for me, the shotgun rail was too close for my liking for that type of weapon

#

it did hit hard though

all of the aphrodite

I did one a while ago

hey im new here, real quick question, anyone know if theres any chance of Hades 2?

gray apex
#

but it was totally a coincidence lol

high island
#

Anyone who knows wouldn't be allowed to answer that, and anyone who doesn't know wouldn't be able to answer it. dusa

slim geyser
#

but yeah i just want
all the aphrodite and hopefully her legend
maybe some aphro duos too

past gate
#

I could see Smair being fun

polar quail
past gate
#

Combined with the legendary

#

Charm spam

slim geyser
#

charm spam is super fun

polar quail
#

duos would need another god, meaning its no longer just an aphrodite build

slim geyser
#

i need zeus purely to spam charm and ill try and replace him with aphro afterwards

polar quail
#

its more like a mostly aphrodite build

past gate
slim geyser
#

yes

polar quail
#

ah ok

past gate
#

You can't get so many aphro boons without getting duos involved, can you?

slim geyser
#

i said the ultimate aphrodite build not the only aphrodite build
but tbh only one god sounds fun

polar quail
#

i think each god has like 12

past gate
#

Each god has one duo for every other god

slim geyser
#

all dio when

past gate
#

So since there isn't a duo with itself, 9 duos each?

polar quail
#

purely drunk build

#

theres no hermes duos

past gate
#

True

#

8

polar quail
#

theres 8

slim geyser
#

i did a great dio build a while ago on the prophecy grind trying to get his legend

#

but i wouldnt mind doing an all dio

polar quail
#

all dio and all zeus sounds fun

slim geyser
#

all zeus sounds p easy tbh

polar quail
#

and artemis if you're doing a weapon aspect with crits

slim geyser
#

but yeah for the ultimate aphro id want to try and get as much aphro as possible and a few duos (then purge/replace the other gods)

#

all arty nemesis?

polar quail
slim geyser
#

yeah

#

dios legend is annoying because it never shows up

polar quail
#

zeus is good with the rail, the fists, often on special, has one of the best effects with jolted, has the best call in the game, is often a good option on special, even the dash and cast are ok if you have nothing better.

slim geyser
#

what weapon should i do ultimate aphrodite on? no hera or beo because i dont want it to be just crush shot focused

polar quail
#

uhhhhhhh

high island
#

Chiron is her favorite weapon aspect.

slim geyser
#

bet

#

im kind of terrible with bow but ill try

high island
#

Never too late to practice.

slim geyser
#

good point

polar quail
#

and then zeus also has 1 of the only 2 good vengeance boons, has 2 great call related boons, and splitting bolt.

#

zeus is s tier

strong ridge
#

personally i find most of the vengenance boons p good

slim geyser
#

besides aphro if i had to take it id want zeus for smair

hushed lotus
polar quail
#

out of what i used, I find holy shield pretty lame

#

ares and zeus are fine .

high island
#

Lady Aphrodite also loves Smair and gets it almost every run.

raw herald
#

Holy shield is very useful

polar quail
#

then theres wave of despair which is also lame, and frozen touch..meh

slim geyser

damn i wont be able to have the aphro theme on my aphro run because i spent all my ambrosia on sonorous :(

uh i think so

"poisonous vengeance", every time you take damage someone gets poisoned

maybe ill do Achilles for aphro if chiron doesnt work out

high island
#

Heartbreak Flourish start and get Unhealthy Fixation on Chiron.

slim geyser
#

aphro legend reqs are sweet surrender, empty inside, and broken resolve right?

void vigil
#

titan toppler also had a slight delay before actually letting you dash

#

when it was removed, naturally divine dash became one of the best dashes in the game despite the low damage

slim geyser

if i do an all one god i might switch to fatef authority thanthink

i think ive had it like twice and neither on cast builds

so yeah, when I had to do the dad fight I just plonked all 5 on the ground and they did most of the annoying work for me

#

shielders are about the most annoying unit for me to face

past gate
#

I tried to do an EM4 run with a full Demeter cast build, and I actually got almost everything I needed, the Cast, Icy Glare for the Chill DoT and Arctic Blast to add even more damage
And the artemis duo just never showed up, which is half the reason you even use this cast
I got the Legendary boon from Demeter too, which I never got to use since it was in the final Satyr tunnel and I failed to beat Hades

Not counting Lord Hermes and Master Chaos, every god has one status curse.

Charm is like a status imo. Like stunned.
