I wonder if the ultimate aspects mod was ever released

#

Shield was hilarious

gray apex
#

my damage is gonna feel ass

#

even if i get a cracked build

#

ill just play safe beo because 80% FO is not gonna be fun

#

@devout terrace try this

patent mesa
#

challenge: highest heat where every heat is just DC

mint coral
#

Dc4 is a thing lmao

devout terrace
#

imagine speeders FO 80%

patent mesa
#

lmao what would be the meta on like DC20 or whatever

#

eris delta?

mint coral
#

Die

devout terrace
#

DC :zagsad:

mint coral
#

Td0 pacts would be the meta

patent mesa
#

oh zeus shield zeus

#

that would be good

devout terrace
#

CP4 oof

gray apex
#

okay

honest current
#

My problem yeah, might be the fact that I have over 800 hours between isaac and sts... And just 50 on Hades... But I mean... I am never thinking at hades atm... My reasoning (in order) its like:
See hammer? go brr
See any boon? go brr
See any money/shop? go brr
See anything else? meh

And thats how I am winning 99% of the time

gray apex
#

this is not gonna work

#

c1 witch already popped my sd

#

lmao

mint coral
#

Charon on cp4-hl10-fo4 sounds fun

honest current
#

I mean... Isaac and sts neither... they are more like... "yeah there is this broken strategy that will win u the run but here are the requirements: list of 30 items/cards"

hi beaver!

Tbh even on 32 heat you can clear with basically anything

devout terrace
gray apex
#

ngl i kinda want to speedrun this with fo4

devout terrace
#

thats literally not how the reward system works

mint coral
#

But that says more about how balanced is around that heat for me

#

Just dont look at 50+

honest current
#

I think that Hades is a game that u can beat with just skill, u cannot beat Slay the Spire or Isaac with the basic deck/the naked character

#

thats my take

pseudo kernel
mint coral
#

I managed 50 recently

pseudo kernel
#

only ever do it in my dreams 😩

honest current
mint coral
#

Im not touching higher tho

pseudo kernel
#

i tried 50 and hated it so i just dont do it

mint coral
#

Did it modded tbf

#

And learned that zag shield kinda good

pseudo kernel
#

but Beo?

mint coral
#

Good weapon bad player

#

Zag shield is 1 hammer 1 boon

devout terrace
#

I remember thinking to myself once that even if heat was limited to just 40, we'd create mods to go higher

pseudo kernel
#

Imma try playing again soon

#

wonder if i can get a 10 streak

mint coral
#

40 heat streak lets go

pseudo kernel
#

im rusty as hell

#

i tried just to do a few runs and just couldnt, so i just stopped

mint coral
#

I mainly play just for 1 random build tbh

#

And with random it means trippy flare beo

#

I cant do randoms any more its built into me what build to try for with each weapon

#

entering dad

tight aurora
#

currently made the jump to 55 heat after beating 45. however i have a question about how seeds work. right now my first room gives me a hammer, a hellgate to an artemis boon and a poseidon boon.

i realize this remains the same everytime i reset. but what about the gods i encounter later? will gods get randomized later on? or are they set aswell.

gray apex
#

Yes

#

They will be randomized

#

The seed changes in every chamber based on a mathematical equation iirc

#

also

#

jumping from 45 to 55 is insane

icy knoll
#

i am currently stuck in a spiral of fire known as jumping from 45 heat to 50 heat

#

the jump there is easily as big as 0 to 32

#

55 heat you'll likely have to play with ap2, half your mirror gone, and em4

tight aurora
#

thats the good part :D a big leap is more satisfying then baby steps

icy knoll
#

45 to 50 is in no way baby steps

#

like i said, it's like jumping from 0 to 32
55 will be exponentially harder than that

#

but hey, i'm not your dad
do what you want, but you've been warned

gray apex
#

45 to 50 is harder than 32 to 45

icy knoll
#

when you google "hades 64 heat" the first thing that pops up is a redditor theorycrafting a perfect 64 heat run that involves using eris and pom blossom for tart and aspho

slim geyser
#

could you theoretically beo 64 heat

icy knoll
#
  1. the one saving grace about this run is that we get very few boons at the beginning. Yes, you heard right, few. This means that if we get the core boons for the strat early, we're guaranteed to have them upgraded by Persephone. Again, this is 64 heat. ANY upgrade is welcome, especially if it's free like this. 2) Upgraded boons give extra money when sold, and we're obligated to sell boons. 3) We can safely skip pom rooms for something else. With all this to gain, I honestly can't think of a better keepsake. Even with something like Thanatos, which in this run is also guaranteed to ramp up our damage, it only lasts while it's equipped, same for Hermes, while Persephone lasts for the entire run. She provides so much value in a 64 run that I kinda think it's ridiculous, really.
#

i ❤️ pom blossom

patent mesa
#

that kinda makes sense doesn't it

twin thistle
icy knoll
# patent mesa that kinda makes sense doesn't it

no
you already get very few boons from losing your dark foresight, so there isn't much benefit there
if you get divine dash and as many athena boons as possible like this guide says, pom blossom is just going to pom that
you can't ignore pom rooms if you're going for as few gods as possible, the alternative is a god room a large amount of the time
and also what's there to buy with your incredible upgraded boons when pommed boons sell for so little extra and also you have cf2 and no deep pockets

patent mesa
#

isn't the other option god keepsake

#

so you just reset until you get your needed god

icy knoll
#

well there's egg, coin purse (used in baj's 64 heat run), hourglass

twin thistle
#

if we're disregarding rng then pom has value

#

but resets are pain

icy knoll
#

also the reason this person wants so much athena boons is to use skelly keepsake in both ely and styx to highroll both athena dds

i have some maxxed upgrades

#

like i can get to heseus and Asterius but i usually die in that fight

somber rapids
#

make sure you have all your death defiances up until that point

#

then just focus down the bull first and try to dodge the spears of theseus by hiding behind the pillars

strange skiff
#

I found collecting as much max health as possible really helped when I was just trying to complete the game.

#

And then ensuring that you pick up boons that improve your damage (usually attack, or cast, maybe special for some weapons)

#

i was trying to get merciful end earlier and then had to face hades with an awful fists build lol

#

i swear every time i use a bad weapon i get terrible luck

#

and then i pick the bow and get like 4 duo boons

trail citrus
#

ight, so, I got the lucifer aspect going with seastorm build and the ares/aphro build. Is it me, or does this aspect just suck?

heavy sigil
#

seastorm build is not bad once u get 2 legendaries 20 zeus boons and 10 posi boons

gray apex
#

Sea storm was always a meme

#

As in sea storm lucifer

trail citrus
#

it was useful to me plenty of times

gray apex
#

If you want to do damage start with Zeus

#

and take his attack

trail citrus
#

but lucifer is just...

#

will have to try that, I guess

gray apex
#

Then look for Triple bomb and a good special

#

And maybe Tidal Dash

heavy sigil
#

artemis speical is also juicy

#

zeus attack aphro speical into smoldering also seems fine

trail citrus
#

yeah, I'm more into shackle builds, since I'm at the end game just farming

#

just gotta get all the bounties and after that will probably be 0 heat hestia with shackle and taking every chaos gate I can with fated persuasion to get those damn titles

#

then, after that, modding. So I don't have to rely on godamn lucky boons all the time

#

specially for lucifer.

#

I ask for when I stasrt modding, in case somebody may quicly answer this: can you mod guns themselves? Like, change aspects stats and so on?

gray apex
#

But I think you can

trail citrus
#

ty. Will look into that after completing the game

#

just top recap, the optimal farming startegy would be what I said, perhaps? Like, hestia with shackle, take all the chaos gates and lights of ixion with fated persuasion to get boosts for darkness and gems, save money to buy the special item at styx?

gray apex
#

You dont really have to go with shackle for low heat runs

trail citrus
#

yeah, but even faster kills

#

I'm just trying to min-max for the farming, cause, well, that'll be a few hundreds of runs to buy all the titles, I suppose.

gray apex
#

If you want to farm resources quickly I'd just look into finishing runs as quickly as possible

#

And if you do happen to come across some Poseidon or Chaos gates you can take resources buffs

#

The titles cost like 325K darkness

#

So yea this isnt usually something you actively farm

#

You just get it after a lot of attempts

trail citrus
#

yeah, I just wanna "complete" (quotes cause there will be lines of dialogue I'll surely miss. Like, seriously, how do u make the minotaur give u it's autograph for hypnos? O.o) the game, have somne fun modding it, and then throw it in the shelf to jump to xenoverse 2. So, farming I go, after I'm done with the aspects

#

ALmost done getting the exagryph aspects, I was thinking about coing with stygius next. Wonder if the optimal there would be arthur with shackle (I know boons can get op, but I don't wanna be hunting them eacha nd every run

#

And from what I saw, I suppose I gotta give zeus lucifer a try

gray apex
#

Boons have some rng to them but you dont need crazy builds to win

#

And getting a few cores or playing around a duo is fairly easy and consistent

trail citrus
#

fair. Guess I gotta find just what works for lucifer, then

#

what about the sword, then? WHich aspect and amulets/boons for optimal run times?

#

arthur seems to do a lot of damage, but haven't tried it in the field yet

gray apex
#

Nemesis is very strong

#

You can pair it with Merciful End or start with Artemis and try to go for heartrend somehow

#

Or rod smoldering air etc whatever you can get to do damage

#

ME is less reliant on Dedge

#

Arthur can do big numbers but it's also very slow and clunky

trail citrus
#

if it is possible to mod aspects, I can't wait till I give arthur a faster speed XD. That'll be op

#

Still, a few days of farming till then

#

I'll give arthur a try for the fated prophecies, at least

#

also, dedge?

gray apex
#

Double Edge

#

Hammer

#

I am still to get the hang of using only the dash attach for the sword. I fear that I'm gonna break my joystick with that XD

#

good job

#

oh i'm sorry for the ping

flint dirge
#

petition to make the bow better, because it's a garbage weapon

buoyant elk
#

How are you using it?

flint dirge
#

also a monitor

#

on a pc

buoyant elk
#

No I meant gameplay wise

flint dirge
buoyant elk
#

What aspects do you have for the bow? Are you timing the attack right? Do you mostly dash attack? How often do you utilize the special that sort of thing

icy knoll
#

the bow is very good

#

only weapon where every aspect is great

#

i mean maybe rail but lucifer is just worse eris

buoyant elk
#

It's based off preference

icy knoll
#

rail's still a good weapon tho

buoyant elk
#

Indeed

#

Each weapon can be useful if you utilize them correctly

icy knoll
#

anyway, mr justine,
to play zag bow: dash strike (full charge, power shot). that's it. just dash strike into dash strike into dash strike
hera: don't play hera on kbm, it's very good otherwise
chiron: mark with dash strike, then spam special. should probably get priv status with heart rend
rama: mark as many enemies as possible then do a full charged dash strike

signal aspen
#

The special does no damage

icy knoll
#

that's true

signal aspen
#

Attack takes too long to charge

#

And does no damage

buoyant elk
#

What bow are you using?

#

It's one of the highest attacking weapons

icy knoll
#

i love hitting for 1k with rama

buoyant elk
#

Next to the hex

icy knoll
#

hex?

buoyant elk
#

The gun

icy knoll
#

ah

buoyant elk
#

I can't remember how to actually spell it's name so it's just hex or gun

warm nimbus
icy knoll
#

why would you play kbm hera when you can play kbm beowulf

signal aspen
#

Kbm hera is not completely fine

icy knoll
#

(this is why it's bad)

trail citrus
#

ight. Went with lucifer agin for zeus strike

#

First, he was being bothersome and only gave me the strike the third time we met

#

then, even with smoldering air, quick recharge from hermes and constantly firing aphrodite's call (without the boon to gibve more damage after call, so there's that), I was still getting pummeled

#

even the first aspect is miles better than this. I'd rather play with fists without boons nor hammers than keep throwing myself at the wall with this thing

#

This is a pathetic excuse for a final upgrade. ANd worse of wall, if I'm firing at a prism stone, I can't see the stone charge it's laser to attack me, ending in me getting caught.

patent mesa
#

welcome to lucifer

#

it's better than you give it credit for but it's not good relative to other guns

trail citrus
#

it«s a godamned final aspect. I get that an aspect is meant to change the way a weapon works, not make it better. But any other aspect is better than this

patent mesa
#

eh it's better than the fists at least

trail citrus
#

I can't wait to start modding and then increase the fire rate on this thing, cause, u know, it's a freaking laser.

#

I get around a lot more easily with the fists than with this...

heavy sigil
#

its a diff playstyle

#

also zeus attack rlly needs more zeus boons as support

patent mesa
#

yeah just because you don't vibe with lucifer doesn't mean it's an embarrassment of an aspect

heavy sigil
#

like jolted, double strike

patent mesa
#

I mean it is compared to the other hiddens but that's irrelevant

trail citrus
#

I played with sea storm coupled with double strike. I went right away with a strike zeus and later on picked up the upgrade for ricochet (he was too stingy to give me the jolted boon. Maybe that's what I was missing?). And I also played it with ares/aphro duo. either I got spoiled from my hestia runs, because I don't remember being this bad with the zag aspect

#

maybe wrong mirror buil?

heavy sigil
#

well sea storm also needs 2 legendaries to become good so uh bouldy

#

sea storm is a meme build

#

whats ur mirror?

patent mesa
#

better not be privileged smh

trail citrus
#

I'm using the hestia buil. So, yeah

#

gotta go back to backstab bonus, remove high confience an so

that's crazy

I don't see lucifer being a ultrafast killing weapon, though :/

what does aspect of rama do

devout terrace
#

Have you tried reading

#

whats that

gray apex
#

Reading is overrated

heady quiver
#

nah bro i did but i didnt understand the mark on foes heads

mint coral
#

Rama is reverse chiron

signal aspen
#

so basically on rama you shoot things

mint coral
#

Anyways
The mark makes enemies take a % of your original dmg (60% at max lvl)

#

So if you hit enemy for 100 then the mark also adds a 60 hit

signal aspen
patent mesa
#

oh shoot you're right

#

gilgamesh SSS tier

signal aspen
#

exactly

patent mesa
#

gilgamesh has built in maim
maim is stronger doom
doom is ares status effect
ares is the best god
-> gilgamesh is the best aspect

signal aspen
#

it also has global damage

#

and extra dashes

#

that are definitely not shortened and have 70% of the original iframes

gray apex
#

The idea of fists being worse than the rest of the weapons is only at the top end of heat and speed

#

Otherwise I dont think it's worth mentioning

#

Because it's not relevant

devout terrace
#

Fists are unironically easier than sword at high heatbouldy

patent mesa
#

tbh I think at lower heat it's still the worst weapon by a fair amount

devout terrace

aka 50

#

55+ sword probably better idk

Now2, I changed my dash button to one fo the shoulder buttons, and it wrecks (got past the first boss in a bit over 4 minutes, with me still getting used to the new dash button)=

slim geyser
#

not bad!!

gray apex
#

Dash on Shoulder is pretty gud

trail citrus
#

In short, lucifer aspect is actually good from the fact that you can keep the beam while dashing. You have to quite probably change the control config

south comet
#

I like lucifer rail, it's fun

trail citrus
#

I'd keep going, but the new config is hurting my brain XD

slim geyser
#

i don’t know man i just like super soaker lmao

#

splishy splashy

signal aspen
trail citrus
#

Thing, is, this was with me not used to the new dash button. After getting the hang of that, I bet I could do times similar to hestia's with this aspect

signal aspen
#

😳

trail citrus
#

I kinda feel trolled by the devs, though XD

patent mesa
#

lucifer is good because your chaos boon pool is smaller

trail citrus
#

"here's this new aspect. It is pretty good, but you gotta achange the dash button if u didn't before to actually play it properly"

gray apex
#

I mean

#

Holding Attack is not very good

patent mesa
#

tbh I don't think how you dash should be aspect variant

#

at least not at the lower level

gray apex
#

You're vulnerable and your special is a lot of damage, also have to reload

slim geyser
#

yeah and the ramping damage is pretty good so getting rid of that for infinite ammo is funny but not as good

#

special big damage

trail citrus
#

hmmm, if I am not mistaken, the lucifer aspect works based on the time you've been firing (not sure if it has to be at the same enemy). And lucifer is the only aspect I know off that allows you to keep firing while dashing instead of caneceling the attack.

slim geyser
#

all aspects do that im pretty sure

gray apex
#

You can do that with a lot of weapons

#

With Lucifer it's seamless because it has no dash strike

patent mesa
#

they just insert a dash strike

trail citrus
#

So, one is basicaly obligated to change the dash button for this

patent mesa
#

uh no

slim geyser
#

not really

trail citrus
#

Yeah, but thing is, with dash strikes or special into dash, you can just press the special buttons and then quickly move the tumb to the dash button

slim geyser
#

who else plays with attack and special on lt/rt
out of curiosity

trail citrus
#

With luycifer, if you do that, u stop firing and lose the scalating damage, having to restart from the lowest.

south comet
#

idk I play on kb/m

patent mesa
#

dash is best on scroll wheel

#

trust me

signal aspen
#

Yes

gray apex
#

That shouldnt be your main concern

slim geyser
patent mesa
#

I actually use ahk to configure both scroll down and scroll up to dash

#

op op

gray apex
#

Losing the ramp up is no big deal if you're literally interrupting it to use the thing that does more damage

#

Which is your Special

trail citrus
#

Yeah, just need to properly land the special XD

patent mesa
#

and you need it maxed I guess

#

otherwise it doesn't do damage

trail citrus
#

maybe with it's hammer upgrade. Otherwise, I've not made proper use of it yet aside for lucky hits

#

I don't play an aspect without it being maxed

#

I've been saved all that blood XD

mint coral
#

Way easier to hit special on rail/achilles for me

trail citrus
#

QUick ask for a tip: zeus strike on luciufer with jolted. What now?

#

go for demeter duo?

latent orbit
#

need some tips on what i should choose

#

i already have the req for the cerbrus thing

patent mesa
#

that depends on a lot of factors

#

will you win if you go to dad right now?

#

are you a little short of the meta currency and still need that stuff?

#

can your build handle styx chambers without losing a lot of health?

latent orbit
#

so i wanna prepare to fight dad

#

and i have like no obol

#

but i shuld be able to get through the chambers without loosing much health

late ocean
#

2 of those are miniboss chambers tho

latent orbit
#

what might be in them?

late ocean
#

Mini bosses

latent orbit
late ocean
#

“Tiny vermin” which is a rat that teleports around and has a gigantic health pool, some beefed up satyr, and a beefed up snake stone iirc

heavy sigil
#

mini bosses r usually much easier then the normal final rooms

#

only thing that can be harder is tiny rat

#

but still not as hard i think

#

wait u alr got the sac

#

go to dad

late ocean
#

^

latent orbit
heavy sigil
#

fountain just before dad is worth more then almost anything

late ocean
#

Like unless there’s something you desperately need from the obol/boons I don’t see why you would risk losing health

heavy sigil
#

the tiny rat is a boss

late ocean
#

Especially your first time

latent orbit
#

gonna do dad then

heavy sigil
#

alr

#

gl 🙏👍

latent orbit
#

thanks

icy knoll
#

everybody loves chiron

#

just because you don't like a weapon (you haven't played it well) don't say that everybody also has the same opinion as you and if they don't they're wrong

heavy sigil
#

bow is rlly damn good

#

hera rama

#

zag bow is also a rlly good weapon for a zag aspect

#

and chiron uh bouldy

#

at least ppl also like chiron

zinc idol
#

Does anybody know why if its harder to find orpheus and eurydice after freeing orpheus

#

Ive been playing around 12 hours now and still cant find them

#

And can that block other reunitions

#

I havent been able to get nyx and chaos together and they just repeat voice lines

amber bluff

nah that's just rng being rng

oh you got smair

latent orbit
icy knoll
#

smoldering air, the auto-charge for the call

latent orbit
#

ohh

#

yeah

icy knoll
#

one of the best duo boons
not quite so on aphro aid tho

latent orbit
#

helped deal dps to dad rlly quickly tho

icy knoll
#

are you using high confidence?

#

you must be highly confident

latent orbit
#

now i just have to farm 30 keys

icy knoll
#

(thick skin is generally better if you're not speedrunning)

latent orbit
#

so i can complete the mirror

icy knoll
#

stub def for first win, huh

latent orbit
icy knoll
#

eh, levels up to +50

latent orbit
#

oh wow

heavy sigil
#

yeah it doubles ur hp

#

thick skin is rlly good

icy knoll
#

also chthonic vitality is much better than dark regeneration

heavy sigil
#

ehh

patent mesa
#

all the homies hate dark regen

heavy sigil
#

60/40 in the side of chthonic vitality

latent orbit
heavy sigil
#

maybe 70/30 even

patent mesa
#

110/-10 for me

#

jk

heavy sigil
#

actually wth am i saying its like

#

00/10

#

90/10

#

bc fountain after bosses is a thing

patent mesa
#

lol

#

I love how you slowly convinced yourself that dark regen sucks

heavy sigil
#

lol yeah the more i theory crafted the more i realized how useless it is

latent orbit
#

lmfao

#

acc yea

#

i should switch to chthonic vitality

heavy sigil
#

yeah def

#

tho

patent mesa
#

it's really cheap

#

next mirror key purchase might be the biggest one btw

heavy sigil
#

^^

patent mesa
#

dark foresight is super broken

heavy sigil
#

rlly a game changer

#

like

patent mesa
#

and family favorite is insanely cheap to max

#

it's like 200 darkness

heavy sigil
#

family fav is free 20% to 25% global dmg

latent orbit
#

any tips on what i should change?

icy knoll
#

use thick skin and dark foresight

#

and family favorite

heavy sigil
#

what aspect r u using/plan to use?

icy knoll
#

generally firey presence is better but with fists it's shadow

#

and also use dds if you're not doing high heat, probably

#

and chthonic vitality

latent orbit
nimble glacier
#

are the other bows worth using besides chiron

icy knoll
#

~~talos user! laugh at this person zaglol ~~

latent orbit
#

b/c i havent spent my blood yet

icy knoll
#

demeter is way better

heavy sigil
#

usually mirror is smth like
red/green depending on aspect
red 95% of the time
red, but if u have LC4 then green
red always
red always
red always
red unless speedrunning
green always, some builds run red maybe?
green always, op af

latent orbit
heavy sigil
#

wait

#

no

nimble glacier
#

crazey

icy knoll
#

not a huge fan of the fists but level up what you like

#

they all play the same anyway

patent mesa
#

demeter fists gang

heavy sigil
#

i have 0 wins on fists lmao

#

or spear

#

and also have a 50 heat run done

#

kind of funny

patent mesa
#

what about guan yu smh

heavy sigil
#

😩

icy knoll
#

achilles is fun

heavy sigil
#

never even touched that aspect

latent orbit
patent mesa
#

gy 40 sounds fun tbh

#

with mod

icy knoll
#

thank me later

heavy sigil
#

i tried achilles, half way through i was like this is boring

latent orbit
heavy sigil
#

some aspects that are pretty popular and liked by most is

latent orbit
#

is aspect of hera good?

heavy sigil
#

yeah

latent orbit
#

i normally main bow and fists

icy knoll
#

don't use it on kbm

heavy sigil
#

hera is rlly good, rama is also rlly fun

icy knoll
#

rama goat

heavy sigil
#

hera kbm is alr, but u just have to be good

mint coral
#

rama 🙏

latent orbit
heavy sigil
#

pins in story

heavy sigil
patent mesa
#

beo >>>

heavy sigil
#

rama takes a bit to get used to, but once u do its rlly fun

latent orbit
heavy sigil
#

i hated rama until i spent more then 5 mins on the weapon

heavy sigil
latent orbit
icy knoll
heavy sigil
#

yeah hera is janky on kbm

latent orbit
#

yea i should not

#

do hera then

heavy sigil
#

unless ur aim is rlly damn good then u miss quite often

patent mesa
#

tbh what bugged me most about rama on my 32 was how unsafe the special felt

icy knoll
#

zag bow is really fun

patent mesa
#

how do I fix this

icy knoll
#

cancel it with dash

heavy sigil
#

dash special dash

patent mesa
#

huh ok

icy knoll
#

and/or dashstike

heavy sigil
#

i wouldnt usually do special and attack together without dashing in between

#

actually i would never

patent mesa
#

yep yep

heavy sigil
#

bc u want dash strikes

patent mesa
#

what about standing explosive shot

#

that's op

heavy sigil
#

uh

#

tbh explosive is rlly underrated on rama

patent mesa
#

just has a small startup time

#

of a few minutes

heavy sigil
#

its only good with triple but its good if u get both

patent mesa
#

wait is twin explosive bad

heavy sigil
#

bc u just spam minimum change shots

icy knoll
# icy knoll this is true

but seriously is there any real argument that beo isn't the best weapon in the game?
it's super easy to play, great for speedruns, great for high heat, easiest bossfights in the game

#

beo is just the best

mint coral
heavy sigil
patent mesa
mint coral
#

Tho i kinda give that to croven enjoying hera a lot more

heavy sigil
#

but i dont think going for explosion when u have twin is smth u should do

patent mesa
#

probably only legitimate disagreement would be from mega heat sweats that want RI

#

since beo can't deal with it

heavy sigil
#

hestia>>

#

just ignore dc

mint coral
#

It still one of the best cast weapons for heat lol

patent mesa
#

yep yep

heavy sigil
#

the best actually

#

whats better?

patent mesa
#

talos

#

sometimes I forget that talos is a "cast aspect"

icy knoll
#

with beo you can just pick it up and go

patent mesa
#

facts

heavy sigil
#

😩 learning is what makes it more fun

#

at least for me

latent orbit
#

should i reveal aspect of gy first or nah?

patent mesa
#

no brain

latent orbit
#

like not unlock it

heavy sigil
mint coral
#

You still want to learn cast management tbh

patent mesa
#

do you need to buy?

#

or just reveal

heavy sigil
#

i dont think u need to buy

mint coral
#

Only reveal

latent orbit
patent mesa
#

k then reveal asap so you can max out beo

#

then enjoy free 32 heat

latent orbit
mint coral
#

Beobug is good yeah

patent mesa
latent orbit
mint coral
#

Turns out having mirage shot bugged in your favor + being a shield is amazing

patent mesa
#

aka its skill floor is through the roof

icy knoll
mint coral
#

BeOwOlf

patent mesa
#

lmao beobug

latent orbit
icy knoll
#

most of the bugs help you tho

heavy sigil
#

yeah

#

like mirage shot lmao

#

the mirage shot bug legit does so much

mint coral
#

Trippy flare poms zagluv

patent mesa
#

what iframe bug? I run athena flare and ddash

#

best beo combo

latent orbit
#

then i cant use my blood on demeter

#

bruhhh

#

if i want beo i cant get demeter

mint coral
#

The only thing about beo is dont look at anything outside the 3 top flares

latent orbit
#

imma do it

patent mesa
#

to be fair lvl1 beo is broken relative to other lvl1 aspects

heavy sigil
#

wait

mint coral
#

They either are weird or just average

heavy sigil
#

get upgrade dem

#

actualy

#

idk u do u

patent mesa
#

so you can just buy it and use lvl1 to farm blood for demeter

latent orbit
#

then unlock beo

heavy sigil
#

to reveal gy

patent mesa
#

hm I see

heavy sigil
#

u have to unlock 5 apsects

latent orbit
#

got 2 so far

heavy sigil
#

hm alr

#

time to grind titan's blood :D

patent mesa
#

then trying to bumrush hiddens might not be best

latent orbit
#

and i have 2 blood

heavy sigil
#

tbh ive never grinded for blood ever

#

the game just gives it to u if u just play

#

u get 2 every run, and if u can beat 0 heat consistently, u can beat like 10 heat pretty easily

patent mesa
#

how

#

8 heat is impossible

latent moon
#

does em4 to get 10 heat

heavy sigil
patent mesa
#

like at 8 heat you lose your entire mirror

heavy sigil
#

think em4 is more

#

wait

#

im dumb

patent mesa
#

bounty system needs to be reworked for that reason, I shouldn't be expected to do RI4 EM4 AP1 just for max bounties

icy knoll
#

cp should really be 2 heat per point

heavy sigil
#

nah

#

cp just has to be nerfed to 10% each

patent mesa
#

that seems fair

heavy sigil
#

also dc has to be removed

patent mesa
#

tbh rebalancing heat sounds like a fun task

heavy sigil
#

RL3 should be the max

latent orbit
#

alr gtg gn

heavy sigil
#

AP2 shouldnt be a thing

raw herald
#

DN should be nerfed

latent moon
#

make em5 where hades joins every boss fight

heavy sigil
#

lmao

patent mesa
#

where's the heat website again?

heavy sigil
#

em6 ur in a 1 v 12 against every god

heavy sigil
raw herald
patent mesa
#

thanks geraldo abuser

heavy sigil
raw herald
#

rofxic

heavy sigil
#

rof abuser smh

patent mesa
#

:slim:

#

ok icy flare fan

raw herald
#

Wonder what hestias flare would look like if she was a god in the game

patent mesa
#

rof

#

HL: unchanged
LC: unchanged
CF: unchanged
JS: 20% -> 15%
EM: EM4 4 -> 5 heat
CP: 15% -> 10%
BP: remove +DC perk
MM: unchanged
UC: unchanged
FO: unchanged
HS: +400% -> +200%, HS2 added
RI: 2 -> 3 heat
DC: idk, remove?
AP: AP2 removed
TD: unchanged
PL: unchanged

heavy sigil
#

tbh TD4 with 4 mins each would be fun

raw herald
#

Wonder if people would take a stackable HS

patent mesa
#

oh good idea

heavy sigil
#

oh wait

#

BP needs some massive changes

icy knoll
#

gonna be honest i feel that ap2 should just be removed from the game

heavy sigil
#

it should

patent mesa
#

BP2 to 4 heat?

raw herald
#

It’s fiiiiiiine

heavy sigil
#

in theory its a great idea, in practice its stupid

icy knoll
#

don't even try to balance it just cap ap at 1 and call it a day

patent mesa
#

you know what I'm in full agreement

heavy sigil
slim geyser
#

bp bad

raw herald
#

Heat isn’t balanced past 40 atm

icy knoll
patent mesa
#

oh as in fiddle with certain BP combinations?

heavy sigil
#

sometimes BP is the most free thing in the world, other times it just kills ur run

patent mesa
#

aka remove +DC

heavy sigil
patent mesa
#

that thing is too unbalanced imo

raw herald
#

I’d prevent numbskulls from getting cloner and saviour perk if your aspect name begins with H

heavy sigil
#

also maybe having like one type armoured enemy have a BP assigned to it would be good

heavy sigil
#

so it wouldnt be rng

patent mesa
#

I like that

#

BP2 forces elysium warriors to that weird perk?

#

the exploding one

raw herald
#

Actually perks double dipping would be cool

heavy sigil
#

like only thugs could get dmg, and such

raw herald
#

Not balanced but cool

heavy sigil
#

._.

patent mesa
#

also is it just me or is that ring BP really weak

heavy sigil
#

imagine dc at twice the rate

#

oh nah

patent mesa
#

I can't tell if it ever does anything

heavy sigil
#

it is

raw herald
#

Annoying for greatshields

#

And chariots

heavy sigil
#

oh yeah chariots

patent mesa
#

I kinda see it as just "here's a visual reminder you're on high heat"

#

if that makes sense

raw herald
#

Yeh

mint coral
#

Is the ring supposed to slow you or pull you to the enemy?

heavy sigil
#

slow

#

i think

patent mesa
#

I thought it pulled you in

#

lol

heavy sigil
#

but like dashes r a thing so it isnt too important

mint coral
#

On that context is em4 casts the same thing?

patent mesa
#

Puller (purple disk) - The enemy has a small 'gravitational' field around them that can not be escaped by walking. Usually takes several dashes to break free.

heavy sigil
#

"several dashes"

#

u need like half a dash

mint coral
#

half a dash
Play gilga, i got it

patent mesa
#

wiki says EM4 skulls just slow

#

would RI to 3 heat be good enough change?

#

I was thinking what if it let you remove mirrors of your choice

icy knoll
#

nah ri is good as is

heavy sigil
#

i think RI4 is stupid

icy knoll
#

one of the better designed pacts imo

heavy sigil
#

RL3 is fine but

patent mesa
#

huh really

heavy sigil
#

RL4 legit removes too much from ur kit

patent mesa
#

I think 2 heat removing DF is too problematic

heavy sigil
#

like double dash and dds?

patent mesa
#

aka RI1 should be more appealing instead of just instant RI2

heavy sigil
#

yeah tbh

#

no point in running RI1

#

just not worth 2

#

tbh my fav pact is LC

icy knoll
#

yeah lc is fun

heavy sigil
#

i think thats the best in terms of design

icy knoll
#

fo2 is one of the best ones too

mint coral
#

I did R1 for my 50 heat lol

heavy sigil
#

ignore that sd just carries LC's design

patent mesa
#

my preference in casual is MM since it makes barge more fun

mint coral
#

MM is fun

patent mesa
heavy sigil
#

em3 is also fun

patent mesa
#

agreed

heavy sigil
#

unless u get like 20 charges in ur fight

patent mesa
#

EM2 kinda stressful though

mint coral
#

Tbh you can say most pacts alone are fine

patent mesa
#

but only becomes horrible with HS

heavy sigil
mint coral
#

They snowball instantly tho

#

Em4 being prime example

patent mesa
#

BP1 is another one I'd consider to be a fun pact

#

I kept it on for casual stuff

heavy sigil
#

oh i also rlly like UC

#

i think UC is a rlly damn good designed pact

patent mesa
#

as a tool for teaching you about strength of purging I agree

#

but I don't consider it fun at all

heavy sigil
#

i like that u need to keep it in mind as u make ur boon/room choices

patent mesa
#

very true

mint coral
#

EM as a whole is one my fav pacts

patent mesa
#

like getting three dumpster boons and choosing by rarity

mint coral
#

Mainly the dialogue changes/except lernie

heavy sigil
#

em is fun

#

ive never done em4 ever actually tbh

mint coral
#

Wait fr?

heavy sigil
#

yeah never even tried it

patent mesa
#

EM4 FO2 is worth doing once on like beo

mint coral
patent mesa
#

insane adrenaline

mint coral
#

Do it for the theme

#

Is nice

heavy sigil
#

😩 been meaning to do it with like a simple 32 heat hestia run but uh

#

idk

patent mesa
#

surely with EM4 hestia it's basically 0 heat afterwards lmao

mint coral
#

Can Just do em4 alone mainly to see the changes too

heavy sigil
#

lol yeah u just slap on TD3 CF2 UC MM FO2 call it a day

heavy sigil
#

wait is TD3 free with EM4?

mint coral
#

Unless you have a reaaaaaally awful build i say yes

patent mesa
#

I don't think it adds too much time

mint coral
#

Specially at 32

heavy sigil
#

hm alr

patent mesa
#

and the 4 heat makes earlier rooms a big joke

heavy sigil
#

doing that tmr ig

patent mesa
#

so you can basically speedrun pace into dad

heavy sigil
#

em4 shouldnt be too hard right

mint coral
#

I did at for my 45 heat run dusa

patent mesa
#

well probably don't run LC4 HL5

heavy sigil
#

i usually end hestia 32 heat runs with like all my dds and 1/2 of my hp

patent mesa
#

cuz on SD I find it unpleasant

mint coral
#

Dc4 shadeohboy

heavy sigil
#

bouldy DC4

patent mesa
#

lol oops

#

big mistake, everyone knows DC4 is meta on hestia

mint coral
#

Some people play lightning strike hestia so maybe

patent mesa
#

but yeah on DD with healing in play you shouldn't have any issues on dad even at FO2

#

just don't eat spears or dog on boiling

mint coral
#

Or be like me that eats 2 spins at the start of the fight

patent mesa
#

that 58 heat EM4 demeter fists fight was so beautiful

heavy sigil
#

bouldy i usually lose all my acorn before 1/3 of his first phase is gone

patent mesa
#

dude double dashed all of his spins perfectly

mint coral
#

Which one?

heavy sigil
#

and then im like oh shoot i gotta actually dodge
