It is but it's obvious why cshot is good on beo
Is this about cshot?
I guess the tough part with cshot for me on nonbeo is that I often don't know I have it until I already have cores
Wait how?
What
I dont understand what you mea
Like I already took doom or something just to fill attack and meet a requirement before I get cshot so it's tough to switch gears then
Why are you taking something to just fill attack on non-beo shield
My default go to is always aphri
Actually Zeus and ares attack are better than the non arty % ones
elaborate
Cuz im either resetting for cshot or if zeus shield i will prob aim for the call anyways
So ez smair
Aspect of charged shot is awful in anyheat without rush delivery
Flat damage sources love rush delivery
Flat dmg soup goes brrr
My statement wasn't about resetting for charged shot it was about finding it in the wild
I mean if im playing zag shield thats a given for me, or atleast pulv blow
Pulv blow zag shield 
Same goes for chaos (and 2nd case of zeus shield) also applies if i actually decide to not ignore its thing lol
I didn't really ask the question to find out how best to take advantage of the speedrun mod giving me whatever hammer I want
But ok I'll try to not fill attack until I see my first hammer or something
ok, didn't really ask the question to find out how best to take advantage of the speedrun mod giving me whatever hammer i want OR resetting until i get it. like obviously it's a lot easier to switch gears for cshot when you never have to switch gears and just started with it anyway.
i started the conversation more or less trying to figure out if cshot is good enough that if i find it in the middle of a run should i put effort into making it better to the possible detriment to whatever else i was doing
so how do we feel about taking epic zeus attack on gy after picking up quick spin?
would aphro attack still be better?
zeus atk probably works fine, considering i've heard sea storm is allegedly a boss shredder with pos atk
that is fascinating
i think flat damage is better on the spin? because it's kinda like a zeus shield special?
i honestly do not know tbh, i just stick to aphro special spam
it just always seems to hit kinda hard i donno
i have arty special and ares cast right now
hm
i might rather go for aphro atk for heart rend possibly
zeus atk also seems good tho
i'm currently staring at a zeus boon so i can still take aphro dash in aspho if i want to maybe pick up smair but i could also take zeus dash now and aphro attack later and just hope i find jolt at some point
i'd take zeus atk personally, just off the basis that it can function as budget sea storm

idk i kinda like zeus attack on spears lol
idk how good it actually is on gy but it feels right
(also you should really try to get jolted)
zeus atk on guan yu sounds like sea storm except it actually works on normal enemies
i'll give it a shot sorry i had to step away
stupid charon got me right after i took the zeus boon
i just couldn't do enough damage
i have epic deadly flourish on demeter fists being offered heroic heartbreak
is deadly still better?
no
i mean it depends on how much outside scaling you have but 9 times out of 10 aphro is better there
yeah lmao
lol i had 6 rerolls so i spent 3 to reroll hermes twice
9 bad commons
nice hermes. thanks a bunch
oh man i have epic aphro special with rocket bomb and hyper sprint. hermes is offering purple swift flourish, but i have eurydice and a thread buff
do i reroll for rush or take swift and don't be greedy
Does that just make the rocket travel faster or does that affect the reload
i think it effects reload
it feels faster anyway
damn delta chamber no clockets š¦
I'd reroll for Rd tbh because it's just too good even if it's common
it would have been epic but oh well
started a nemesis run with epic tidal dash and natural'd zeus
i could take zeus attack or zeus cast
is there any consideration for attack? i know it doesn't really do anything with the attack, but i was thinking for jolt purposes
i think i'll try it
any new metas
Flat dmg soup builds
was INCHES away from 32 heat nemesis sword. Terrible hammers and not a single natural Artemis boon wrecked me completely though. No shot at deadly reversal, no shot at buffing crit damage. Damage scaling was awful. still got dad down to quarter of his last health bar. feels very bad
Just use zag sword
Itās far superior
On nem heartrend is more damage increase than deadly reversal but if you get both thatās rad
Literally can't tell if you're joking about zag sword or not
I don't even remember what zag sword does
Has a pointy end
Move and attack speed
Yup
So on nemesis, heart rend build would be art attack aph special?
Yes
I realize now that it was feeding me basically entirely Athena and ares and I 100% could've purged Artemis attack, forced Ares in Elysium and gone for a merciful end build
But I was so fixated on deadly reversal because that was my plan going in and I was distracted by the total lack of Artemis
No arte boons showed up after forcing them? Sad
Hehehe
I forced Artemis in Tartarus and then didn't get even 1 natural art the entire rest of the run
It do be like that sometimes
But you shouldāve been fine so long as you got arte attack because athena could get you the duo
Yeah but she didn't lol
did you pick up athena flourish?
Yep. Epic flourish too
thatās just bad luck
Rerolled her boons 3 separate times
Were you running the right mirror upgrade?
Yep
Lmao rip
Happens sometimes
did you have a full god pool
if you dont have a full god pool it will make getting certain boons a lot harder
Are there any builds that the to pom and build around a special
Uh
Dionysus builds
Hangover is pommed heavily and then you also pickup low tolerance and then curse of nausea and maybe even splitting headache
Is it good compared to other strong builds like ME and all Zeus stuff
Its safe
Itās extremely strong if you hit the duos and have a lot of poms on the hangover boons plus additive damage sources
Well
In comparison to like beowulf it isnāt extremely strong
So I might have exaggerated
if i don't feel like hangover or ME build for zeus the other reasonable one is just zeus right? not really a 4th?
Zeus on Zeus is one of the better options right
yes
you want jolted though
Angel used that on her 63 run so it's probably good lmao
without jolted it's eh
On the other hand no special boon Zeus shield is funny
You can probably meme something with a % special
yeah best zeus build is aphro cshot
Ik Haelian did artic blast for example
best zeus build is shackle zeus
i've tried to meme arctic blast like 4 times
i'm convinced it's harder to get than a legendary
any % boon on zeus special is pretty bad
blast not being pommable is a legitimate travesty
if only zeus shield got charged throw 
zeus shield with vicious skewer 
i was trying to do this last night and couldn't figure it out because my rd was common anyway
but does common hypersprint buff stay long enough for a full charged skewer?
idk
or can i dash right after throwing it to get the damage?
probably
cancel into a dash strike
i love this reply. you ever see those amazon reviews where someone poses a question and the response is like "i don't know i haven't bought this yet"
like why did you respond
you're good though i like the conversation, it just reminded me of funny stuff
I have used charged skewer
but I often used it with zag spear and exploding launcher so I don't know if that changes things
don't take the entire thing literally. sometimes the amazon review doesn't mention whether or nto they bought it too :p
Yeah cancel into dash seems the best option
take the special damage
k
From chaos? Yes
what's the best sword aspect for merciful end?
zag?
man, I literally just NEVER dodge the bull's rush attack at FO2
if I don't have 3 dashes I'm absolutely toast every time
nem probably
Nem is probably better for you dash strike damage before you get ME
Merciful end beowulf when 
budget eris is eris but zag rail
Im gonna destroy you 
Why so obsessed with shackle
itās gaming
i got clockets at 50 heat its not that hard tbh
Do I just play 32 chaos like bad zag shield
Yeah
And slap like doom or Zeus on the special if I feel like it
Can tidal dash it too
Oh fun
play ME
I did smair zag shield so hopefully I get smair chaos lol
I will remove your kneecaps
It was ME before but now it's both
I just noticed your name 
Sure it is, cheater
Lmfao
what about it
Amb is using an actual cheat engine
No you stole my special brackets

My casual runs agree with it
croven
the people hated him because he told the truth
its literally free damage i dont see whats wrong with it
shackle > distant memory >>>>> everything elsep
Distant memory is a mirage shot
what about cosmic egg š§
They are both 30%
so true
mad cause bad
Letting the enemies backstab you šŖšŖšŖ
Chain shot good or chain shot bad
On zag
chain shot best shield hammer ngl
doesn't it make the aiming a bit weird because it won't go through enemies
i mean yeah but that doesnt really affect gameplay
or i guess it does make it slightly harder to power shot but you should learn the timing anyway
Bow is a rythm game anyways
there should be a combo meter in hades
i'm sure this would be a very balanced feature with no problems whatsoever
non-smair god gauge moment
dem fists
Could someone reccomend a spear build for my first run through? Obv cant use guan yu since I havent beat it yet.
First run? Like, you haven't beaten the final boss yet?
You can get guan yu without beating the game
But guan yu + Achilles are considered the best spears
Yep I agree
For non-achilles non-guan-yu spears you try to get exploding launcher + charged skewer and then aphrodite attack/ artemis flourish and focus on dashing around and specialing
Any specific aspect in mind?
Doesn't sound very encouraging for spear weapon š¦
Wdym
Charged skewer exploding launcher goes hard
achilles you hope to pick up flurry jab and go either arte attack aphro flourish focus on dash striking and donāt pick up serrated point after taking flurry jab, or ares cast and pick up hunting blades
lol ur confusing them
Oh you mean rama
uhh.
ye, rama.
I had them confused.
wondering wot to run for a quick easy run on that.
dun really like it. =S
You still try to grab twin shot or triple shot like normal bow
Explosive shot makes your attack unbelievably slow so I wouldnāt buy it, kind of a scam
hmm.
You take aphrodite attack (or maybe artemis attack aphrodite special)
I canāt remember what special you go for when you take aphrodite attack
Make sure youāre dash striking and using your special to apply shared suffering
zeus special ftw?
thought it was the meta choice for rama
Idk what the choice is.
I just want to clear the achievement quests.
and coronacht - rama is one of 'em.
I think rama might be like chiron where itās too fast to prok a few bolts š¤
wdym 2fast?
chiron special hits multiple arrows before the zeus lightning bolt internal cooldown is up
so instead of a bolt for every arrow, you only get 1 maybe 2 per special
But honestly zeus special probably works well on rama
Opens smair
Spreads jolted
Yeah but is still good
T2s goes brr
Lightning, Doom, Hangover. All of them good.
And is not all your dmg based around it like chiron 
Idk.
I'm very badly trying to wonder what works well with demeter.
dionysus.
and well.
I can't figure out any fun builds that're viable with 'em.
you can play dionysus with rail atk, fists atk, or zeus aspect special
then just go for low tolerance or curse of nausea + poms
for demeter you can always just go meme beams
Go for both
Chiron and rama special are good too
Epic rarity demeter attack or special can be thrown on most things that take aphrodite attack and special tbh
just hit 2097 damage on hestia attack
i am the summon now
2367 š
ok 2600 something has to be my highest number ever
it went up to 2896 bruh
What's a good build for rama? I figure slapping aphro attack on and hoping for triple shot is the most important part but like
Do you just use athena/art for dash?
Does special matter at all
A beefy % attack, Aphro is very good (ideally not common), or you can go for Artemis because crits, any high rarity % attack can do except Poseidon (avoid that one), for the Special you want flat damage, it's not hard to come by, usually not worth forcing tho, Ares Dio Zeus are the main ones, you can go for Demeter and try to get Killing freeze, it can work pretty well, for the Dash there arent many options because most of them are either anti-synergy or just dont do anything, Artemis however is probably the best in slot dash, because Rama relies on dash strikes and getting dash strike damage is just good, Athena is a good one too because deflecting is nice, another important thing for Rama is hammers, ideally you want Triple Shot or Twin Shot for your first hammer, if not offered you can go for Perfect or Point Blank, and for the second hammer you usually want Perfect or Point Blank (assuming Triple or Twin first) but the order can be the other way here, if you get Perfect Shot as first hammer then it's fine too, hammers to avoid are Sniper shot (blocks Twins shot) and also doesnt do anything, and Repulse shot, Explosive is a bit of an odd one, it's nice in some scenarios but hard to play, Chain shot is okay, wont do much in bosses. Rama is difficult and needs practice but it's really good when it comes to heat especially, it's a good idea to watch vods of people who are good at it and try to implement their movement and decision making in your runs
I lost the count on how many times I've read "a beefy % attack" here
We're in a loop, there's no escape
i havent even read it yet i just assume its good
could be a copypasta about raME i wouldnt know
it doesnt
raME is a meme
Oh thank god
yeah to find it i just search "beefy"
No
RaME works
My 50 heat Rama clear with EM4 is RaME
tried and true, deal with it
you right
On a serious not though, RaME is really ok. Doom on special is always good and an epic athena can go a long way. Also the way you proc ME (with the attack) really suits Rama classic gameplay so you get a nice burst of damage without having to get out of your way. It's more like a cherry on the cake since the doom proc will likely just compensate the fact that your attack is not aphro or arty
but still, if you have the option is definitely something fun to try
does the doom not proc before you charge up an attack?
what about perfect shot š
What's generally preferred first on Eris? Zeus attack or art special
Zeus
The special does enough damage for tart that you don't need anything else on top of it
Zeus gives you aoe and good flat damage to clear rooms faster
Gotcha, ty
What boons should I generally avoid on Hestia?
Poseidon attack Zeus attack Dio attack ares attack
nah pos attack is good for billiards
that reminds me of the funny meme build I saw mentioned once of clay pigeons
you shoot an athena hazard bomb and try to doom everything with main attack before it lands to proc ME
ooh fun
i think that was from the same document lmao
the hestia guide
Hello All. Does anyone know of a good resource for builds? Only have one clear under my belt and I used Hunting Blades on Varatha Aspect of Achilles. Worked great! I would like to find similar builds that fit each weapon.
Lmao
Lol thank you!!!
np
np
Np
Lol
If I wear a god keepsake it forces the next god boom to be that god, but itās random after that?
yeah
Yeah, but that god is added to your god pool
Which once you get boons from 3.other gods only those 4 are able to be offered (hermes and chaos not included in this rule)
we were forced by the devs to do this
Amir is controlling my builds so im forced to help
Lol
rama is literally possibly the best aspect in the game for handling dc and you didnt use it?
at 57 heat?
Super noob⦠what does it mean when someone says āadd a few pomsā
pomegranates
things that level up your boons
Ah! Nice!
Dropping charged power shots on spawning baddies felt good
Rama can handle JS too. Strong aspect is strong
Use blade dash to strip the DC easily so you can power shot the ones spawning in lol
I mean Rama really has no problem with damage control on its own but I personally hate it
Ahh itās coming back to me now I found without DC the timer was fine even with a common Aphro attack, so I didnāt have to do rarity resets. More runs was more fun. (Fun being relative at that heat)
Superdad took like 5mins tho it was horrible
But I had been grinding a superdad savestate with a subpar build so I figured I could handle it
Anyway thatās why 57 Heat with Rama and no Damage Control
ah ok makes sense
what do people usually run on beowulf?
poseidon cast and artemis attack
to get mirage shot
which is bugged on flares and do 100% cast damage instead of the normal 30%
on flares?
ah I understand
cast goes boom instead of crystal lodging in the enemy
aight makes sense ty
beo is op solely because you'll never be offered the awful downgrade boon known as quick reload
god I loathe that boon
ugh same
also no flurry cast
which is just a uselss boon for the most part
is it worth trading epic flood shot for heroic passion flare on beo?
fwiw i have +34% chaos cast damage
are you going for mirage
i was but now i gotta find more poseidon
if flare was your only mirage prereq and you already had an arty boon then replacing was a mistake
flood mirage >>> passion
i didn't have an arty boon yet
were you gonna force in aspho
yeah
well then it depends on heat and skill level
if you were trying to go fast and had very high chance of curbstomping anyways it was a mistake to replace
if you were doing a heat where you had a good chance of dying then it would've been good to replace and pivot to dem force in aspho
why dem?
dem is standard aspho god alongside aphro for high heat
dem and aphro are both top tier curses for PS and the combination of both gives you a massive survivability boost
and dem gives access to snow burst, ravenous will, and frost strike which are all incredible for passion beo
does mirage shot not work with passion or something
it does, but certain high heat pacts mean it's unrealistic to go for mirage unlike how you can almost guarantee it in speedrunning
what pacts
UC, CF, RI, AP all mess with your ability to get duos
ah that makes sense
i'm on 24 and whilte it's the highest i've done i'm not really in danger of dying
i'm running UC but not the others
then yeah it would've been best to stick with flood for mirage
also the nature of the mirror means you generally shouldn't change your flare between flood and passion mid run
flood wants FF and legacy, passion wants PS and pride
i barely ever play beo so i completely forgot to change to legacy and dint' even consider PS for it because i never trigger it consistently enough
i'll think more next time
eh ultimately beo is so op you could slap on blade flare and still win at most heats
so whatever
yeah i have epic rd, heroic lvl 7 flare, +37% chaos and 5 casts
XD
and hyper sprint
@dreamy prism i got charged shot pretty early and considered pivoting to that. what does one do with that? just go aphro attack?
elaborate
cause cshot just focusing on attacks is strong too
eh it's decent
i just haven't really done that yet
but really the reason you want cshot is to deliver unblockable casts at long range
I don't really recommend attack based beo, at best you can slap arty attack with cshot and get a pretty good dps boost since you want arty anyways for mirage
if you really wanna do attack based beo you would do arty attack aphro cast cshot -> heart rend
whats is the rail build š
can scintillating feast appear on beowulf?
Yes
great
the wiki doesn't say that trippy flare can be used to get it, only trippy shot
The Zeus page appears to be wrong then. The Dio page is right
You can get the Trippy Shot duos with Trippy Flare
the duo boons page is also wrong, then
huh
it's weird because on the duo boons page ice wine is listed with trippy flare, but not scintillating feast
Eh mistakes happen
ye
even without mirage shot beo still op lol just beat hades no DDs with ice wine+scintillating feast
Beo moment
also because it does insane damage and starts mark chains
like you can get 240 damage attacks in tart with cshot
with no attack boon
Cshot is the rocket bomb of shield
yeah pretty much
you dont want to focus on your attack but its just an absurd amount of damage on its own with built in qol on the side
those being that its unblockable, a ranged attack, and charges faster
and also fires faster since you dont have to bullrush
does lightning strike rarity matter at all
a little bit but not to a great extent
its noticeable but its barely going to affect anything
i expect it won't matter much
God's pride moment
lol right
whats the radius for lightning rod? i feel like sometimes ill have a cast sitting on the opposite side of the room and still procing on enemies
yeah i donno but it's enormous
is rocket bomb worth it over targeting system if i can't get cluster bomb anymore?
i feel like it's not when i have a ton of flat damage sources
yes absolutely
oh really?
yeah
Faster way to have your eris buff
fwiw i had to purge deadly flourish although i can probably find it again
oh that makes sense and it makes tidal dash better
the 30% global from targeting gets a bit diluted from all the other sources of global on eris
And if you want a meme, anvil into clockets
and the 80 damage easier to use special is really good
(dont)
oh definitely do
yknow sometimes on meh eris paces without clockets i try anvilling into it lol
never works
i just route my clockets in
Cheater
is it true that athena cast can activate parting shot by virtue of just being big on hera aspect?
Ye
aight cool
i still dont understand why casts cant backstab by default
shadow presence is atk/special but shouldnt chaos backstab boons affect cassts
Im doing a hunting bldes Achilles build rn
With flurry jab and serrated point
Should I use the super Pom to upgrade urge to kill to lvl 3, hunter dash to lvl 4 or proud bearing to lvl 3
I have ares cast level 2 and the days strike chaos boone
Dash
Ares
Pain
demeter fist ME run. I already have ME, impending doom, dire misfortune and divine dash
i just arrived at eurydice
is this a +1 to 4 boons? or a hope doom gets a higher rarity?
cause i don't really need any more boons right?
Id +1 honestly
nectar for hermes
Best case scenario it hits both doom and impending
well i do have hypersprint already so you're saying nectar just for high roll rd?
yeah
Oh yeah take nectar
if this isn't the scenario to take +1 i donno what is
what lvl are they
also is picking a best keepsake just what we're doing now?
attack is blue lvl 2, impending is purple lvl 1, dire misfortune is blue lvl 1
eh probably can find some poms for at least doom or impending
yeah sorry i wasn't trying to make an argument for it, was just surprised and not sure if there really is a scenario that isn't nectar at this point
i also dont run ME much so idk if +poms is the option here
i took ambrosia a lot while doing 45-50 zag shield either cuz aphro atk rarity was too low or to guarantee heroic
making it safe vs replace
poms is probably if you already had your hermes
that's fair
lol slice of pom curse of agony nice
is there any reason why i might want demeter as my fourth? found a zeus at some point as my third for zeus' aid
Rav will is like the only decent thing
i donno what else i'm hoping to find. maybe aphro for smair orartemis for rod
oh ok so i purge athena special and get artemis special
bam
take the cast
it also opens deadly reversal
also if you want better hermes odds try to avoid calls before both hermes
oh good point
cuz it opens second wind-quick favor
Oh deadly reversal ME can give you a FAT charged upper if you get a crit
wait what cast
Arty cast
oh you mean instead of purging athena special?
yeah
Yeah
divine dash doesnt open DR
Deadly reversal only works with atk and special for Athena
ohhh
Arty can be like all or something
Really weird but fair I guess since it can be strong
does rolling knuckle apply to dash uppers?
i'm taking colossus knuckle iff not since concentrated knuckle also isn't doing naything
What does rolling and colossus do lmao
also dire misfortune is unpommable
and yeah 19 times out of 20 nectar is the right play, unless you already have like both hermes and whatever boons/duos you need in which case you usually take ambrosia for hopes of upgrading rd
that makes sense
Rolling knuckle shouldn't apply to dash uppers, just the normal atk
So largely useless i think
I'd also take colossus here
is artemis' aid worth it with smair if you also have heart rend?
assuming it crits on a weak it'll do like what, say about 500 damage at level 1 epic?
i mean it might not be bad tbh
i personally wouldn't tho, considering that arty call is only considered good when you get full call
does cthonic vitality do anything at LC4?
nope
so take the other one on the off chance it does something?
It's better than having nothing I suppose
it's lc4, neither of them are gonna work
Oh, right 
oh it's 0 right
yeah
Free iframes on demand at least
@soft kiln sigil of the dad is taken into styx for speedruns
For going up in heat-just wins def acorn yeah
But taken hourglass if well is juicy then swap-gamble on more wells can also be goos
And if you already have a call-well is bad acorn is still great
Allows for more oonga boonga tanks to no stun on acorn hits
is that hyphen meant to be read as a /?
Yeah
got it
wait i thought dash upper gets all dash strike bonuses
it does
well, from like chaos/hunters dash
but not like hammers and stuff
although i think the damage from rolling knuckle should apply?
maybe its just rolling knuckle that doesnt lol
basically
I just got a relentless volley and thought it'd be fun to just stack a bunch of doom
I realized partway through that it might be more effective to just do artemis special and almost guarantee a crit on every special assuming that's how crit chance works
No its not good
Your arrows will crit for like 15 dmg lol
But i also have the chance to use this
ah lol
special only rama is unaruably the only way to make this trash weapon useable. and even then its only somewhat useable since it only has access to one special hammer. its basicially nothing compared to the superiority of chiron. the attack charges up way too slowly to be useable and shared suffering is a gimmick at best, it adds nothing to help pulling this aspect out of mediocrity. if youre lucky enough and get repluse shot you might - and I say MIGHT get the chance to actually get an attack off with this thing, and even then its simply not worth it. the attack speed is way too slow and the damage completly pales in comparison to actually fast hitting aspects like gilgamesh. its sad to say but supergiantgames design philosophy of making most hidden aspects basicially a slow and unusable version of their base weapon has backfired completly. first beowulf - now this. hidden aspects are supposed to be strong and rewarding for the sheer grind I had to go through to unlock them. I dont even know if I want to unlock hidden rail at this point
Based
the full copypasta experience
also why can't I use fated persuasion on hammers it's sad
I think the devs wanted the players to experience hammers rather than sticking to one, as they have the power to change gameplay in a significant way
is there any scenario in which ruthless reflex is usable or good?
im starting a demeter run with hopes of getting an ME build and I got a hamemr first chamber
and it's my 3 favorite hamemrs for fists
should I go with breaching cross, explosive upper or long knuckle?
well 3 of my favs, maybe not exactly my 3 fav per se
Breaching
I like explosive better personally but both are fine
does urge to kill buff flat damage bonuses?
No
do any damage buffs?
tough choice i just had to make
i had a choice between Merciful end and divine dash
and I chose merciful end
which might not have been the best call?
because I had 4 rolls left
and I could get ME from either ares or athena, but i can only get Ddash from athena, and Ares has been showing up naturally in this run
gambler's fallacy, no guarantee he would've continued showing up
ME was right choice because duos aren't guaranteed whereas future athena pickups are almost guaranteed to offer dash
As long as you don't have cores filled, you'll find it
And considering it's ME just fill the cast with something else along the way and you're gonna probably be guaranteed ddash from Athena next
ive been playing this long enough to know that that's not a guarantee at all lol
Pretty sure that's how that works
there's no guarantee I even see athena again
I once completed ME build minus ddash and had one athena show up in styx with only dash not filled
grabbed athena and rolled once, both times offered replacement
1/100 chance
Well it's seeing Athena that's the issue not her not offering the boon lmao
Should've just gotten the boon imo idk man
idk man as
yep I just went through all of elysium without getting a single athena :))))
and no athena in Styx
I literally just cursed myself lmao
And this is why ME is cursed lmao
god I hate ME
bro
should've been nerfed in a way that didn't make it just even more rng to setup
Make it proc for reduced doom damage or something lmao
where are the mod instructions pinned?
It's just pain to get going
#self-promotion is the modding server
The mod can be found on Speedrun.com
oh there's a separate server for it?
If you just download it tho it provides instructions in it
Well it's for modding in general but ofc the Speedrun mod is the most popular so they can easily help you with that
There's a mod where it combines all aspects somewhere
And also Minecraft Steve mod
oh man I'm there now and this looks way too complicated for me
I'm so bad with computers lol
Where's "there" lol
alright I'll beat dad and then figure it oyut
They're very good at what they do lol
I've installed mods for a couple games before
man I'm so sad i don't have ddash this run though, this would be a sub-10 if I did
It do be like that
I have epic doom lvl 7 with rare impending doom lvl 3 lol
Ah crap you've just reminded me that I need to try for a sub 7 beo 
For a bit of cope, you can dash strike and dash upper in 1 dash
no rush delivery though
So you still can somewhat get some ME procs
Wait what
Yup
Do you just mash the buttons
it's called rolling special
decent no ddash cope
the timing isn't super tight
it's also a common tech for early tartarus since that combo can one shot a lot of stuff and speed you up
I've done it for no divine dash lernie
Tho iirc that one time i had kinetic tho
Which is actually rlly good before divine dash lol
does rush delivery combo with hyper sprint?
yes
whoa
hyper sprint also opens up rd
decent combo
you can take greater haste to cope and pray for ichors tho lmao
so you can basically do double damage for half a second after each dash?
assuming epic rd yeah
50% at common rd kinda decent yeah
yeah even at common it's still great
Hermes is just built different
i mean all of hermes scales with rarity by a lot
And also a lot of people dont even know it exists tbh
Dashes/the money one are like the only ones
reminds me of that one poor dude who was purging hermes
But like good hermes or jusy your meh hermes
amazing
understandable if they were running priv status tbh
hmmmm
What does that have to do with hermes
for legal reasons that was a joke
counterpart is FF
5% boost if you keep hermes but if you purge you lose it
:boulyai:
maybe the devs should have thought a bit more when they created dread flight after cshot 
You need bad things too :)
build recs on arthur? nvr used this weapon before but it seems slow af
aphrodite attack then do whatever
arthur likes smoldering air so you can force zeus for hopefully call after that and have a good time
You can dash between the swings for easier use
wait but isnt smair bad?
how do you dash btwn the swings?
you dont get as much damage from vicious cycle on your call
every time i dash it resets my attack combo
you're right, nerfs three best calls of arty aphro and ares
and spam click attack
nope
nah
oh woah i just did it wtf
arthur has such bad frame data you can dash in between the attack combo
I think you can do it on other weapons but it soesnt have an use
what if you aren't actually intended to be able to do that and arthur was just so slow it created the bug
Wait I love smair with aphro call?
it's okay for staying alive but you lose all the damage
I don't use it for damage
and aphro call is the best full gauge damage call
you guys take shadow pres or fiery pres on arthur?
I use it to disrupt boss attacks
Shadow
the aphro on attack is just for the % bonus? wondering if arty attack is good too
arty attack is fine
yeah ultimately consistency is king
^^
and plus weak is good synergy with arthur's damage resistance
you can actually facetank stuff with it
aight makes sense
also gdi pressing attack and then dash is so counter to the muscle memory i've built up over hours and hours of runs so far >.>
Worth it tho
tbh I play arthur by just spam clicking and not focusing on it
then you can focus on dashes exclusively
You arent stuck as a sitting duck doing your combo 
same
(i dont play arthur)
Do 32 heat on it
nem is the only good sword aspect
i'm doing it to fulfill my prophecy but then i'm out
(i say after having only tried it one time in the past few months and getting a cheat engine build first try)
this weapon sucks š
Is good but you learn to play normal sword and is meh 
welcome to arthur
Im glad idk how to play sword
special dstrike dstrike
Too hard
Thats still not playing sword
And thats why it was my choice for forst 32 sword lmao
i've had more success with arty cast pos sword than nem sword at 32 lmfao
bruh nem is so easy though
see that's what i should've done and meant to do but i autopiloted into arty keepsake and didn't feel like resetting
Nem i tried to do ME first but that died at lernie
this is peak pos sword gaming
and why it's better than the other swords
and yes it was terrible but funny
peak nem sword gaming
and why its better than the other swords
even the specials were doing like 1k lmao
oh another example of why legacy is a scam
jeez your brightness is really high
It looks better in game
i think i broke him (dash strike does 13 hundred damage)
can you still get special boons on arthur?
yeah lol
yea
and they don't do anything i assume?
why wouldnt they?
no, they do i think
oh does your special do any dmg? š¤

They dont have interactions with the aura if thats what you mean
the hidden aspects have a lot of coded interactions, its very smooth.
Is just your special as isual
yes, your special does damage lmao
oh lol i couldn't tell

i dislike arthur, it was too easy and honestly boring.
I like arthur, it was too easy
the best hidden aspect is the shield, its too powerful
Beo moment
i played ONE round of it and i three shot both of hades phases
Sounds about right
i love it when my entire kit is moderately powerful at once and i can just dps my brains out and style on everything
some people have reccomended focusing on one thing with your kit, like a cast or a attack or special but honestly i love it when i balance out my whole kit and just shred
How did a rama run last 43 minutes
then you might like eris
As far as the focus thing, it really depends on the build
Yeah, Eris just buffs everything to the point where your farts do 300 damage
i like eris but i am personally a hestia fan
me when chaos gives maimed
because i enjoy taking my time and i oft forget to pause when i get snacc
That sounds more like roiling
With maimed you either die or live at 1 hp
it doesnt matter which gun you use, the special is always good becuase you can special, reload and dodge all at once and it takes almost zero extra time compared to a normal dash
though i still dunno what the hidden aspect is
the gun is the only hidden aspect im missing
Beaaaaams
ive zero clue how to get it since neither eris nor hestia are found in the game, but im sure ill run into them eventually
||zeus||
i will not spoil myself
But yeah as long you have your aspects lvl up + talk to everyone you are bound to get it
rn the game has given darkness buff to the fists, so ima do some funny gaming
the fists of demeter be like:
no
mine arent even max level and i can do 225 damage in one hit
any ares special enjoyers? its my most used boon
what is everyones favorite keepsake?
Depends on the weapon
But ares usually goes on attack
Most goated keepsake either be acorn or hades call
i dislike ares attack unless i get the thing where it does more damage per stack
so being able to deal 200 damage every 2 seconds by just occasionally cycling in a special has became one of the most consistent damage options for me
if you're using doom you should be using merciful end like 90% of the time, and doom atk is better with that
idk if i have a high fire rate weapon, i find zeus attack to just be better
Is a good option
also works fine
But ME is just option
i like the doom special especially with impending doom for obvious reasons
Fists also stunlock normal enemies so less static discharge procs
ME is an option if you like not finding the duo, finding the duo but not having the dash, or getting everything but common doom
And compared to eris you dont get 75% global dmg just by existing
eris funny but like i said im a hestia enjoyer
rn im quite enjoying my epic hangover attack boon with the fists. for obvious reasons.
based
but eris is like the get a ton of flat damage sources aspect
i know
eris is good
i prefer hestia
i REALLY wanna start over to get hell mode but i have like SO much progress on this file and my aphrodite HUD makes my trans girl heart go hapy
I'm a big fan of distant memory
ohhh good choice
why cant i post an image? can i only post an image every so often here?
send it as a link
send it in a different server or something and copy paste the image link here
Only get image perms if you beat 60 heat
that is a gaming moment
Are you fishing for exclusive access
If you get exclusive access before Hermes that's pretty busted ngl
whats that?
Duo boon that makes all boons purple
Ye
i may have gotten it before
Thought you knew considering you forced pos lol
honestly i just love poseidon and dionysius with the fists, im one shotting bone rakers with my special
i just love aphrodite duos, the homing cast ones are so fun
melting hades with demeter aphrodite cast is so fun
one time i talked with someone who insisted that casts shouldnt be used ever unless youhave a cast build. i blocked him.
its literally free damage even if you have no cast boon
i said "its reliable damage at a range" and he was like "if you want range, we have thatits called bow and gun" like??? im not always using those?
If you want reliable damage at range while using fists just use bow or rail
Even if you are using those, boiling blood is great against armored enemies and bosses
Aphrodite special does more damage than Poseidon if you want to look into that lol
also gives you low tolerance open
but poseidon special can barrier slam and against bosses theres a boon that makes knockback boons deal like 40% more damage to bosses
how much is tempest flourish again
im tryna get the boon where barrier slams create shockwaves but i just keep finding htdraulic might instead
beaver my beloved
i have an epic tempest flourish this run so its 130%
your pfp scares me
101 damage
why do people like athena dash so much???? its not even that good
idk man
as someone
athenas attack is nice and her special is meh but her dash??? dash already has i frames, its unneeded
deflect op
the amounts of time someone learns about dash having iframes is a lot more
deflected projectiles dont do that much though...
and also how dash strikes cancel those iframes
my overall pb has divine dash 
is just a giant safe box basically, no one uses it for the dmg
idk even thiugh i dont use greater reflex in the mirror and i never use divine dash i have zero problems dodging hades circular sweep
deflect doesnt work on the spin attack anyways
what about FO2 hades
yeah but they said divine gives increased i frames
it doesnt give iframes but any deflected attack will stop doing dmg
i have yet to try extreme measures 4 dont judge me
nothing to do with em4
is just a really extra safety net and also opens the DD boons which for high heat is crazy
again i really want to do hell mode but i have so many hours on my main save
oh i might do that
i still use regular death defiance even though i rarely burn all three and i usually never need more than one on hades himself
at high heat you normally swap to stubborn defiance
i used to need all three for hades but now i sometimes dont even die once
cuz lasting consecuences lvl 4 is used
so no healing
and you sd to heal basically
and with sd you can use the dds boons to gain extra dds
dds?
death defiance
basically lose stubborn>pick refill DD boon and gain a DD>sd regens next room
oh so boons that normally replenish a death defiance will instead give a second stubborn
ir
or
give a dd rhat cmes after the stubborn
yeah
i see
safety net basically
kiss of styx my beloved
- you still get the extra effects (healing/extra iframes) on sd
oh sd item is much better than kiss honestly
im still instinctively burning obol on kiss of styx even though i rarely end up needing it lmao
specially the patty version
(makes sd regen +10% more hp for 14 chambers)
and can stack multiple
and patty version is a +50% 
skellys tooth would be a thousand times better if it came before other DDs
does it come before or after SD?
tooth is always last
another safety net basically
in case lernie scary/bull scary/elysium happens
you never know
i like feather duster, myself
