No idea why no one ive met in the community knows about it, the only post they ever did promoting it got 30 upvotes
I'll get a better look at it when I get home but it looks really well made
Im making my own version of this but with a built in calc for damage and some pre set builds and keepsakes, tho with ap classes will prolly take a couple of months
And with the ability to export builds
Somewhat like pikaltyics, if your familiar with that
Has some issues, and kinda basic, but i still use it a lot way better then typing out what u want to get in a doc
I updated it a bit
Doesn’t work too well on mobile
This with Zeus attack instead of dio would have been perfect
Lightning phalanx and mirage shot duos
Then you’d be set
Just want Poms on phalanx shot and chaos cast buffs
Yeah ill consider switching to zeus, i just rly like easy double status and the duo
But zeus is something I want to run
Pstatus moment
Exposed dio attack Poseidon sword sounds unwieldy for Pstatus
True!
If you want dio attack on pos sword might well run trippy shot as well for big w
Yeah that does seem a lot better for room clearing
The cast stays in the 3rd enemy, right?
I believe so
No
Sometimes it just… flies off to a corner across the room
Damn
Which is an L
Thatd be so cool if it did
Why are you so hung up on exit wounds bruh
Because its rly good on this build
It’s good bossing damage for Poseidon
And a good safety net if your build isn’t going so well
Yeah but it isn’t the be all end all
But in general for normal chambers things should just be dying and dropping stones that way
Just get greatest recall or whatever

Tbh I think I would just run pos sword like I ran talos, blizzard shot mirage shot arctic blast, but I’m not sure if it would be as effective without talos pull
Exit wounds should not be killing normal enemies yeah
Using a non lodging cast on Poseidon is just like… go play Achilles bro
I mean nonlodging cast talos is gaming as much as nonlodging cast achilles I don’t see why nonlodging pos sword wouldn’t be as effective
So I think I’ve discovered part of why I’m sucking at beo so much
Are you supposed to dash before your rushes?
Cuz too much bow has me doing that
Dash after your rushes
And it doesn’t seem to make it come out faster
Dashing before your rushes just makes the time before you start charging faster
Not the charge charge faster
it does because dstrike into guarding is faster than standing strike into guarding
Does flood flare proc razor shoals?
C3 Poseidon again and I know I don’t want breaking wave because it opens second wave
I could get purple splash dash or purple razor shoals tho
Any movement procs shoals
so yes
flood flare procs shoals
Bloop
Well I know it doesn’t proc sea storm so I wasn’t sure
Do I want splash dash on beo tho?
Yeah i dont like it in the god pool as much as dio, and like it less on bosses, but seems better, will run it
I’m fairly certain flood flare procs sea storm no?
Beo moment
Dstrike into rush, dstrike afterwards for another rush, dash/dstrike into flare to pick up stones I believe
Icic
If using nonflood flare definitely for mirage shot open I think
You use however many casts you need to reach a break point basically
Someone tell me if I want splash dash or shoals tho plz then I’ll shut up for at least one minute
Smart
But filling cores is good
Do you know this for certain? Is this legit?
Wait no it would be sea sea
Actually ddash would be good as well because it doesn't open any duos with arty or pos
But yeah
I’ve heard it here at twice
I’ve never heard that
At least twice
Who said it?

Oh yeah flood flare doesn't proc sea storm
Legit? Bruh
Pulv blow secret downgrade to sea storm beo
another reason I suck at beo is I get tap happy with the cast button
I should be rushing with one stone repeatedly
1 or 2 yeah
Why not take a noncore
Only take cores if it doesn't open a duo or it's like c12 with no arty yet and you can sell it
That's the tart laser one right
Yes
It was slash j cuz you don’t have to do anything for meg to hit that
Unlike the other links
Minis
I actually didn’t waste ten years fighting MM power couple with beo this time
Oh lmao
Imagine not eating the damage so you can get a good meg
I’ve never megged them both or tried
(you're supposed to iframe the damage)
It's quite difficult yeah lmao
Tbh as long as I hit the thwomp with it I'm happy
I just meg the Gorgon because I hate petrify
if you get the gorgon pattern with 5 stones at once you can dash through it and bait the crusher
Could pierced butterfly work on hestia?
U confident u won't be hit?
Hestias probably the best aspect for butterfly, but butterfly isn’t the best keepsake for hestia
I think you should go for it, tell me how it works out.
Looks pretty good to me.
True shot
Thanks, was worried how long I had to wait.
Just to make sure, keep levelling Pom, rii?
Pretty much
Is there any god in particular I should get a boon from that would help me? Or just go with the flow?
Same.
Really? Damn, I hate Zeus so I never really choose him.
One of these days I'ma do a Zeus build.
Till then: F*ck Zeus.
Tell me if I'm getting annoying but i really wanna win this one.
Which one?
Oh hell, I got 576 btw.
@tight basin ?
you can disable the ping on replies btw
I don't see an image.
I... what?
Hold on.
Apparently I'm posting links too fast, hold on.
Now it's not even showing up.
Yeah.
So, which one?
What else do you have besides these three?
As in build?
Yes.
I got Tempest Flourish, Drunken Dash and True Shot.
576 Obols.
32/125 health.
Shop
Shop then.
Ok, Sanku both.
Need to find a decent Attack. And you could use some healing.
Indeed, what's good for Talos?
I messed up...
lmao
I refuse to believe Charon doesn't get stronger after the first time you beat him.
...
I'm already ded.
Try to not uppercut those waves. That doesn't work. 
F.
I suggest having a look at the Talos section of this guide if you want to get some ideas that work well. https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/hades-build-guide#aspect-of-talos-fists
Sanku, what's a good attack on Talos tho?
Lightning
Ah, thanks again to you two.
If you find heavy knuckle the % based gods become an option for your attack
but otherwise just flat damage
Really? Huh.
Well when you have 40 base damage and you aren’t attacking nearly as fast as before
Ah, u rii.
Personally because talos gives you some additive already and it’s a castpect I would prefer artemis if I found heavy knuckle since it also opens mirage shot and a few other cast duos
Thanks, you mean Artemis atk tho?
SHACKLE GET!!!
@plain river Yo, does shackle just not work if you get one stat boon ? Or does it just not work on that one boon?
It just doesn’t affect that one boon
This.
if you get an attack core it’ll still affect special and cast
This is why shackle is bestest.
Yes
Oh.
Is privelege status when using hangover boons ?
It’s good yeah
I rerolled and litedally nothing changed bruh
Exchange for flourish, crush shot, and dash all remained at the same rarity and all
Same thing happened to me.
Does Rare Crop work on Chaos boons?
Nope
What, I should have taken that over Crystal Beam?
Arthur better
yes
yeah
I kinda' figured that taking a cast that opens up some duo boons and reduces the odds of casts in the option pools of subsequent boons would be more beneficial . . .
why do you want to open useless duo boons
and also crystal beam takes away boiling blood
which isnt good on some aspects
Just because you have duo boons doesn't mean they're good lol
And doesn't mean they'll be beneficial to you
Like low tolerance is good on Chiron, but you wouldn't really want it on like Arthur
Or at least it's not something to aim for on Arthur
I mean, Crystal Clarity has shown itself to be pretty fancy.
Also, I'm not using Arthur. I'm using Nemesis.
Also using Cursed Slash, so I kinda' want to hit things with sword more than splashy dashy.
crystal beam is bad with nemesis
Cursed slash 
because it takes away boiling blood
Okay, well, live and learn, I guess . . .
Probably should've taken Demeter's Aid, really . . . Just kinda' hoped to see better options and that Rare Crop might come up again later . . .
Well, at least this heat is low enough that it doesn't really matter.
I miss being able to just throw stuff together and clear 
I'm trying to beat 32 and Hades is so annoying I might have to go merciful end fists just for the deflects
Im like out of range and he just says nah take 80 anyway
Damn… You’re gonna sacrifice spear like I did.
:/
80... Why are you using hl5
A reflect wouldn't help you there tho I think
Hl5 is like 5 heat for a semi small conseq
i mean yeah but also hl5 isn't necessary for 32 heat
No particular pact is necessary so long as it adds up to 32.
HL5 is good, though.
Fo2 is necessary
I cannot spell
FO2 is neither necessary nor recommended for a first 32.
Smh they should recommend a better pact then
js3 cp2 em4 td3 hl5 ri3
oh i forgot fo2
js3 cp2 td3 hl5 fo2 em4
i really want to put in ri in there
Cp2 js3 dc 2 td 3 em4 mm bp2 ri4 uhhhh uhhhh
Idk what that adds up to
80 damage from Hades doesn't imply HL5, anyway. Could just be Boiling Blood.
oh right i forgot that existed
was about to say could be gilgy but gilgy is +50% not +100%
And I’m fairly certain they weren’t using gilgy
I'm on ME achilles. If i already have ME and both hermes boons should i still take the third option on eurydice?
kinda thinking of increasing the tier of 2 random boons and see if i can make curse of agony heroic
or 4 poms since i haven't pommed it at all
What are your Hermes and rarities
purple reflex purple hypersprint
Take poms.
What else besides ME cores do you have
ares atack, athena special, ddash, purple dire misfortune, blue holy shield
Yeah poms
thanks you two
Rarities would be too risky but you could save scum it if you want lol
how do you save scum that?
Or just get lucky and get it the first time
You like do various atks/cast or whatever to manip rng
Before you take eury
Idk if she has to be in frame or not or whatever
i thought the rooms lock you out of quitting after you activate something randomized?
Nah this doesn't lock you out
It locks you out if you take damage
Anvil and eury doesn't lock you out
Neither does bouldy if you feel like scumming for 10%
Bouldy is totally random tho no need to cast
I think
Gamer
absolute gamer
Does zeus on rama speical transmit ramas status when it bounces?
Also do boost from chaos on speical boost lighting? Trying to figure out a build for rama
No
Ok ty
zeus special is a lightning bolt, not ball lightning
bruh
Don’t fall for the pasta
Tree sucks
+% to attack and special do not affect zeus dio or ares
it's important for good room clearing because of shared suffering and stripping DC if you have that pact condition
Is there any synergy to zeus and poseidon?
enemies that are knocked back get hit by lightning that deals 40 damage
tidal dash isn't a prereq for that tho, so you're gonna need something else like flood shot or poseidon's aid
What if im using weapons like the sword or the fist
Being close quarters at all times and knocking to the walls
tempest strike is the worst attack in the game so dont use that
tempest flourish is alright, tidal dash is still gonna be a good dash boon
putting it on cast is always a good option tho, still a styx shredder
wdym by double hit
Isnt there a boon that allows the cast or any knock back done by poseidon to hit twice
oh that's the legendary
Ah
that's not needed lol
Gonna be tough to get then
any knockback + breaking wave will tear styx apart anyways
Oh
Does second wave make sea storm proc twice off splash dash?
i would think so
And does sea storm proc splitting?
if the internal timer let it
If so brb gonna try something
i'd also think so
Im guessing he's gonna go try those boons
yeah probably
arty atk flurry jab is nice yeah
Flurry jab, triple jab, artemis support fire, and crit attack
The fastest clear i ever got on hydra was with that
Thanks for the info bananas.
How fast
my fastest lernie clear was 15 minutes
2-3 seconds every phase
the smaller heads are def gonna take longer than that for the midphase lol
yeah the main one is pretty easy for the most part
it's the smaller ones that hurt more
Yeah, fun though
em2 is the opposite of fun tho
trans lernie moment
Yeah, especially with the skeletons
And skeletons
If you didnt dealt with them
But occasionally they do spawn
Now that i think about it, i never had trouble with them if i had support fire
It do be good
Lol
Also tried it with chiron
Had a run with consecutive strike and +4 arrows on hammers
Along side crit special and support fire
Bro Tempest Flourish Talos is a godsend.
Tempest flourish is for weapons that don’t use their special to unlock sea storm with
It's alright but there's still better options
Really?
Sea Storm?
Heartbreak flourish just does more damage lol
There's not much point to the knockback tbh
Sure you can get sea storm with it so it does 40 more damage but also I'd rather have smair lol
Knockback effects drop lightning
You can’t get the duo with tempest flourish?
🤨
Asking, forgot the question.
It can unlock it
Oh cool.
the only poseidon core that doesn't unlock it is tidal dash
which is fair considering we only care about his dash most of the time lol
Would be too easy to unlock the busted combo same as ME
Is Kinetic Launcher good with Demeter Fists?
It’s not the worst thing, the increase to base damage and range increase is nice
Not sure if it mathematically stands up to Flying Cutter or Rush kick
Flying Cutter is a weird one for sure.
How was it?
Easier to miss with compared to explosive upper
Ig I should ask, is it worth taking?
I mean for Demeter nearly any special hammer is better than none
Explosive upper is 80 dmg tho
Compared to kinetic 50
Ah.
EXPLOSIVE UPPER GET!!!
Ik.
I think it’s better than both of those
Flying cutter only works for standing upper, kinetic works for dash upper too
20 damage more than rush kick
Plus having a 300 base damage kick compared to the 210/240 of hammerless is always nice
explosive cutter is likely better though
Kinetic has its perks tho, particularly range.
Charging kinetic launcher 
The real perk of kinetic launcher is being able to powershot 🧠
Indeed.
It’s not like it powershots for not enough damagr
Imagine flying cutter kinetic launcher 
been having fun with aspect of rama, what are some of yalls favorite rama builds?
Nice.
Is Bow your main?
honestly i dunno if I quite have a "main," I alternate to get the darker thirst bc i gotta have me my darkness and gemstones but I've been having a lot of fun with fists of malphon lately
As you would, Fists are goated.
Try Zagfist Plume.
It’s peak synergy.
oooh noted
i have dark thirst on bow rn so i figure ill just do another rama run haha
Lel, cap.
If you want to deal death, zeus special + jolted + Artemis dash + high % attack like aphro + twin shot
ooooh okay
yeah I actually had a run with a lot of that last time it was Nice
tree has more words sent in copy pasta than from their own thoughts
Tree has thoughts?
Tree has thoughts = False
🥦
Sea storm or rod here
I would do sea storm
Unless you really want to try out rod
Oh bruh
bruh
Imagine looking at hades reddit
Lel.
how do I make a beowulf build
Cshot
ok
Use flood flare or passion flare
flood flare, arty atk, mirage shot, win
If flood flare take arte attack in asphodel for mirage shot
pstatus, passion flare, snow burst or frost strike or if you're desperate mistral dash, win
Bruh anvil wants to do everything but take away super nova and give dedge
git gud
True
or maybe your head just empty
Oh my
It’s been 20 rng manips
I haven’t even seen dedge
Imagine having autocorrect on you nerd
i rest my case
Screw it I’m taking a styx tunnel and then trying again
Oh bruh
Third rng manip after hammer lose super nova for dedge piercing
is sigil of the dead particularly good for any builds?
ic
so for beo the whole rush and flare would benefit from the damage bonus?
sounds fun
How do zeus internal cooldowns work when you have multiple sources of lightning?
Like special and call or something
achilles: 🗿
Dadcall is just good dmg
Hi guys.
I haven't played with any hidden aspects aside from coronacht's.
Can anyone suggest a build for Aspect of Lucifer?
Zeus attack aphrodite special hope for triple bomb
Get zeus call or some other call and hit smouldering air
So do I spam bombs everywhere and then shoot at them?
Yes
💀
Damn that's cool.
Or other dashesp
Aphro special opens smair
plus aphro and arte are kinda interchangable
So I should start with tidal dash and then focus on getting zeus' attack and aid, correct?
0 40 heat wins
Okay.
you can use any other dash
So I go for zeus, then aphrodite and the third god is?
pos ig
My favorite one is the divine dash.
if you see pos or athena take them for dash ig
Okay.
other dashes are less cool but usable
Thanks!
Cool kids use zeus special so they don’t have to blow the bombs up themself
First 2 boons are zeus' attack and zeus' aid + first hammer is triple bomb.
Also all of them are epic rarity.
It feels very fun during chambers but it's a bit hard for me to adjust during bossfights.
That build is OP.
Yes but it isn’t worth it over jsut exploding the bombs immediately
I don’t think pos special knocks them far enough
What weapon and aspect would be the most OP if you could somehow have every hammer boon active at once?
Probably aspect of rama
Concentrated volley + relentless volley by itself on Rama is absolutely bonkers
Add on twin triple point blank perfect
Rip sword
If it's EVERY hammer, rail easily
Rama still has to click several buttons or charge
Eris would get triple hazard targeting clockets
You launch 3 carpet bombing campaigns at once
Triple Hazard Cluster Rocket Bomb. Everything is dead, including Zagreus. 
Explosive fire 
Fr
True
Stubborn defiance 💪
Shield
But then phase 2. 
Explosive shot sniper shot perfect shot :zagwow
Last I checked shield doesn’t have negative hammers nor hammers that wouldn’t work well mixed with each other
Strike
Strike
Oh yeah you said focus Dio right?
The goat.
🧠 tbf that combo of hammers wouldn't even need eris boost, just hit special and empty dash away
Generally you want to pom flat damage like doom/hangover/jolted over percentages
Can't dash on no-dash runs.
who said anything about no dash-
Just get more Ignited Ichors.
You can still i-frame the explosion without dash anyway.
Call or summon, yes.
you're not gonna have call without smair because everything dies instantly anyway
What's a good keepsake for Aspho?
Supporting god for your build in most cases
I know nothing of your build except that you have Lv.2 Drunken Strike and Lv.1 Heartbreak Flourish.
I guess take the other one out of those two and get their Duo Boon.
Or take Thunder Signet and go for Zeus' Aid and Smair.
Could also take zeus call
Yeah
You don't need smair as bad since you have fists + hangover though
Yesterday someone suggested a Dio, Aphro, Ares build and it accidentally worked out for me this run.
Picking up Trippy Shot isn't a bad idea either for Black Out, plus the stun is nice for melee and it has excellent pom scaling.
Black Out is good in any Hangover build.
Or take mom pom to and hope it hits drunk strike a ton /j
No.
Eris + Hazard Bomb is the best build
Not in Asphodel, no.
Yes, drunken strike/aphro flourish/ curse of vengeance
Curse of vengeance isn’t neccesary
Curse of Vengeance is nice to pick up if you happen to run into Lord Ares, but don't go out of your way to get him into your pool.
Tbf nothing is actually neccesary
Ambrosia moment
?
What are you using?
probably urge to kill or blade dash then
Kk.
Hazard Bomb + Deadly Flourish is really fun
Took like 1/4th of Lernie's HP off with a crit
Maybe I'll get that crit damage up boon before the run is over
Ooh
ALMOST tempted to get Hide Breaker, but I think Support Fire will be more useful
Hide breaker isn't all that great
Which one should I get?
Bad influence could be neat while clearing rooms
I know, but I was considering it solely for the BIG NUMBERS
You have drunken strike don't you
2k special crits would have been hilarious
Ye.
I ended up choosing the other one so my normal attack is better at finishing off stragglers or quick enemies, though
Dio aid is a great call but it isn't really good with drunken strike
Because hangovers override each other you could just end up wasting it
Revenge is meh but it's good for not opening duos
P sure most don't open t2 but I'm not ensure
Revenge is mediocre, but if I'm in Styx and I see a decent one, I'll sometimes pick it as a filler to help clear Hades' adds
revenge is good

battle rage is pommable
Does the Swift Flourish boon work on the Railgun's special missile time?
Yeah, does it arc through the air faster
Ah
Oh, yeah for sure.
Just the animation is faster? Or the cooldown
cooldown is faster
Pretty neat
This is why the only good boon is blood frenzy fron ares
Average Beowulf player
Bad influence
They meant curse of vengeance
Cuz dio build
For curse of nausea
Double edge
announcements moment
Sword is just like purely dash striking
So dedge will practically double your attacking damage output
Doesn’t help as much for doom or zeus I think though
I think zeus still gets shafted by internal cooldowns and doom doesn’t stack so it doesn’t help as much for those 2
But you’d take double edge anyway
No
cringe
rd piercing wave gaming
And only fires one wave with dedge I believe
Still one of the better sword hammers
Yeah
Good free damage
Doesn’t negatively affect you
If piercing wave was affected by attack boons it’d probably be as good as dedge
Actually it’d practically be dedge at that point
That’s probably why it doesn’t
Otherwise it’d just be dedge but applies to all attacks, has range, pierces shields and can stack with dedge
Yeah SGG was like “two good sword hammers? Seems excessive”
Well they’d be doing practically the same thing but piercing wave would just be doing it better is the problem
Pwave Arthur shoots a literal bullet from your sword
But as seen with charged shot shield, hidden aspects do not change how hammers work
Square Enix sues
?
Gun blades smh
Nobody plays ff8 anymore
The swullet
Family favourites8
It’s a game for the privileged status 1
Ptstud
Ptstud
🧠
Would actually not be bad
Probably not be bad but idk
Except for when you didn’t get both t2s
Means your pos boon applies pststus by itself
So 90% of the runs lmao
Pstatus curse of longing
🧠
Never lose Pstatus status even when doom expires
Hangover is a status curse yes 
Festive fog isn’t
Each olympian aside from hades and hermes has 1 and only 1 status curse
Half require a t2 other half comes with it
Artemis: Hunters mark
Athena: exposed
Ares: doom
Aphrodite: weaken (not charm)
Poseidon: ruptured
Demeter: chill (no killing freeze isn’t a status curse)
Dionysus: hangover (not festive fog
)
Zeus: Jolted
Hades spin marking, Gilgamesh maiming, Rama Shared suffering and Talos magnetised pull buff, boiling/abyssal blood are not status curses
Hades isn’t an Olympian 🤓
🤨
Last I checked he was and I’m pretty sure Hades didn’t retcon that?
Not even in irl mythos is he an Olympian
The Olympians are the ones that live on Olympus
Fittingly
He’s a cthonic god like the codex says
Oh says codex bruh
I mean Wikipedia says so too 💁
I dont get aspect of guan yu, how do you use it. It's charge attack is so slow and difficult to use
Really short range too
dont use the spin atk for combat
use it at start of a wave/long distance
if you get charged skewer you can just use special only with a nice % boon
Alright, thanks. Also your name fits my cureent situation very well
also #h1-discussion message for more in depth guide for GY (by Nyaanyaa)
Aight, thanks
I've only got 2 escapes, both with Stygian Blade, at Heat 0 and 1, and have all the loot from the first 3 bosses at 0 and 1 for the other weapons, but I can't seem to get a successful escape just yet with them. Am I unable to do Heat 2 for more loot until I win with every other weapon at Heat 0 and 1?
Ooooh ok that's good. Cuz my progress has slowed a ton 😅
so like, you can keep using sword and get all the bounties from 1-20 but not touch any of the others lol
I was scared I'd have to fully depend on All Coin runs and buy more Titan Blood from Styx Charon
you obv will have to use other weapons at some point so you dont run into that issue but by then you should have developed enough skill to learn them
I'm honestly very surprised the blade is how I got my first win, and moreso my second, even
Would've definitely guessed it'd be the Spear or Malphon
Same
lmao i dont remember what my first win was on
Would've never said Blade was my best weapon. Perhaps it's Boon RNG
But I got merciful end on it and it’s kind of hard to lose with that
good chance it's that
My first victory was probably shield
Even when you’re new as hell
I remember it was attempt 50 on the dot
I put 5 blood into the shield and then got my first clear on a sword run I expected to just be a darkness run
First time I got the Demeter boon for recovering HP slowly, spent 10 minutes running in circles recovering while Hades had 10% HP because I was terrified of Phase 3
He took revenge damage and Phase 2 ended and I screamed in panic
But Jon he doesn't have a Phase 3
Exactly!
But I didn't know that last week lol
my first escape was on 23 apparently i thought it was 17 and i've been saying 17 whoops
||96||
SMH LIAR
||At least I did it before 100||
Oh wtf is that
ptsd to the dude who complained about Hades not having checkpoints and then refunded the game and left the server
lmfao
I didn't know Charon would fight you when I saw the bag
I had 47 HP, couldn't afford the taco, grabbed the bag of money, and he massacred me in 2 hits
based
Yesterday I paused after entering the Asterius and Theseus room cuz I had to go to work. Came back home, power had cut off for a few seconds overnight, I turn it back on, immediately brought back to Theseus and Asterius
well by "checkpoint" they were upset that every time they died they had to restart
I then promptly got my ass kicked by 75% HP Phase 2 Hades(Spear, Aspect of Chiron? The 2nd one where you dash to its location)
Woops lol
close tho, it's the first aspect
Been using Chiron a lot lately
chiron's pretty decent
Bow was my least favorite weapon until I became able to upgrade it. My first 3 Titan Blood went to it because I was so hoping to improve it and it paid off
No they mean once you die

a lot of people dont like bow because they dont dash strike a lot lol
dash strikes charge the shot 33% faster
Roguelikes ftw 
chiron Spear aspect of 8 spear homing spears for a special
Tbh I have that issue too except I tell myself to do them I'm just bad
at least you're conscious of it lol
chiron is very friendly for bow beginners tho once you get it to a good level
It’s the first after zagreus
Had Hades at half health phase 2 earlier tonight on it
yeah that's what i meant
I've never managed to get the timing for charging bow dash strikes correctly
I think they meant 2nd down from the top
Bow is a rythm game 
tbh same lol
i get it like 75% of the time
I find it best to hold Attack and then Dash, more than a rapid Dash-Attack
Once you’re on the roll you don’t fall
the damage counts as a dash attack but the charge is the same as an attack lol
dash attack >>>> standing striking
On every weapon
It feels like mashing Dash and then Attack immediately just shoots it like half an inch from you
i thought you were supposed to do standing strikes on fist lol
You dash then attack
dash and then hold attack lol
On bow mashing both just makes you dash because you don’t charge long enough for a shot
On bow you gotta roll from the dash to the attack button
Ez on controller
Oh bruh yeah you don’t just charge bow dash strike for a milisecond
you still hold it to powershot it’s just way faster
Oh
I didn't think that counts as Dash Attack
I do the charge and then dash lol
well the point of a dash attack is so the charge is faster
it does less damage but your dps is much higher because of how often you can do it
I need to keep this in mind that will help
if you're using chiron it's more forgiving because the special is your source of damage mostly
and you can't dash strike with that so it's whatever lol
It’s not a dash attack if you dash then tap the attack button
That’s a dash mild poke
The only applies to bow though
Since it’s the only weapon like it
“Because the special is your damage source mostly” sure…..
lmao
Also
Is it just me or is Attack Doom, Artemis Call, Special Chill, and Festive Fog Cast like, THE best combo ever? Cuz it feels like I do the best with those. Not to mention tonight's earlier success with Ice Wine or whatever that Demeter-Dionysus Duo was called
i think that's just ice wine carry lol
Yea I know that but I'm just saying in general, even without having all 4, I feel like thise are what I do the best with
Excluding the Duo even those 4 seem like they do me the best
they have their place but it's not all together lol
I suppose Doom, Artemis, and Festive Fog do help cover me a lot with my low skill lol
Artemis call also just
Isn’t the greatest
And those gods don’t syngergize well with each other tbh
Really? Feels like it and Demeter calls are best for me
well ares and arty do but not with those cores lol
aside from arte + ares but you aren’t even talking hunting blades
zeus and dio are best dps calls
artemis is free iframes ig
arty is good with a full call for a huge chunk, but thing is some other calls have better overall damage over time using small calls
demeter is good for just applying chill not great damage without her tier 2’s though
dem just exists, it's not good damage and is only good for applying chill
Ah fair
Yeah I've noticed Artemis call isn't good for 1 Gauge, only full
It’s free iframes at 1 gauge
That’s because it’s 10* the damage on one gauge at full gauge
If I could time that I'd use it but ain't happening lmao
but zeus and dio will do more damage faster with a lot of small calls
it's a generous frame iirc
Like nanas said
if you see a hit coming and you use call, you'll get it most of the time
So speaking of Artemis
I've used her keepsake like 20+ times and still can't ever get whatever the hell Exit Wounds is to show up and fulfill that Prophecy
It actually can't be just RNG anymore I'm missing something right
I'm at well over 100 runs, it should absolutely show up especially with all my Fated Persuasion uses
What makes it show up
You aren’t missing anything
There's a reason I don't play rhythm games
It has no prerequisite
Wait you’ve been running trippy flare right 
shot*
Wow! That's....
Artemis is now worst waifu.
can't be combined with casts that dont lodge
I mean I don't do it consistently I just picked it up a few times today
No, 95% of the time I don't mess with casts that don't lodge
So RNG just hates me that much?
Yup
.


Ugh. Zeus shield hammer making me pick between Charged Shot and Explosive Return.
explosive return is better unless you want to ignore most of the special and just cshot your way to victory lol
Doesn't matter. Damned RNG gave me barely any offensive boons, almost none in Tartarus, so I ran out of TD2 time against the Elysium heroes.
Damn it do be like that
I like the aspect. It does a lot. I don't blame the aspect at all.
Just, you know, when all of the decent boons are common, and all of the good boons are not appearing at all unless you count epic Electric Shot 90% of the way through Tartarus, it's a bit hard to make good time.
I don't think Zeus needs boons to clear 
It is.
Just bc it isn't one of the castspect top choices doesn't mean it's bad 😔
It's really nice for just clearing multiple weak enemies
If you don't have tdash it's helpful in styx since you can just stun several enemies at once/kill small ones easily
I've had a couple eris runs that just happened to pick up zeus cast
easy way to clear spread enemies without using ammo
on hera with arty attack and ares third should i go into aspho with demeter or poseidon?
100% dem, she's by a good margin the second most important god to get on hera
Hera isn't bugwolf so you don't get double damage from mirage
It's nice to pick up if you stumble into it but not really the best thing to build into
why'd you ask and then go poseidon anyway lmao
because it took 3 minutes, i have adhd and i got bored
based
actually based yeah
so whats good hera builds
Artemis isn't even a waifu she's a homie
90+% of the time you want a heavily leveled aphrodite cast, and demeter as a supporting god with key boons being snow burst and ravenous will to give you some easy aoe + more global damage respectively
It's especially reliable and easy to get going because of that; only really caring a ton about 2 gods is super helpful for consistency in a build
Artemis is always appreciated, too, but don't go out of your way for her.
arty for attk?
this distinction eludes me. every gf is also a bestie
Hera Guide: By Croven and cgull This is meant as a quick overview into Crush Shot Hera and how to build it. Other builds can see success, nothing here is set in stone, and this is far from exhaustive. This represents general attitudes towards the build + its options. Always go with your gut on ...
But not all besties are gfs
yep
Every homie is a husband
no.
Man I would hate to be your homie then
The only 2 genders are husband and gf
Wait no
There is a third
Bouldy
You’re either a husband, a gf, or a bouldy
🧠
hades fans going outside and seeing a large rock
hades fans going outside
nemesis builds anyone?
aphro attack arte special heart rend
Arte attack aphro special heart rend
Merciful end
arti attack athena special aphro dash is omega highroll but also based if you hit both deadly reversal and heart rend
Doom strike athena special find merciful end duo and get athena dash
Dash strike through everything all your dash strikes prok doom while the deflect from your dash drops the doom instantly
I mean true shot opens deadly reversal in this case
why would lodging be better than a dps one
Because only castpects use dps casts
what?
Normal weapons use lodging casts because they get their dps from sttack and sprcial
so boiling blood
I am unable to spell
but why cant you just use cast?
i dont really understand
you cant buff attack and special that much
how
like how tho
castpects are the ones that use cast for dps
Otherwise boiling blood from lodging is buffing your attack and special
but what id your attack and special arent good lol
which means more dps for the parts of your build that matter
like i dont get it
Wdym
im playing sword
literally 0
i tried running boiling blood a few times but it was so much worse than the uh ares arti boon
not having thag killed me multiple times
Hunting blades isn’t the be all end all
play the game however you want
im asking how i can make lodging casts work for me
Just shoot them at high hp targets
It is not the cast itself doing the damage
It’s the boiling blood giving your attack and special better damage
why
yeah. and that feels weak
which is, when you aren’t using a castpect, your main source of damage is coming from attack and special
i do way less damage
okay?
yes?
idk whats a good boon
How should they know
They’re literally asking for builds
Aphrodite attack and artemis special on nem gets you heart rend and big attack damage
Make sure you are dash striking
if you see double edge take it
You can swap them
It’s practically interchangable on nem
That relies on you getting other attack addiitve
am i not always dash striking
Attsck and dash at the same time
It’ll look like a thrust
who attacks without dashing
but it doesn’t count as a thrust for cruel thrust hammer btw
