There use to be another website like this, but got taken down

#

No idea why no one ive met in the community knows about it, the only post they ever did promoting it got 30 upvotes

tight basin
#

I'll get a better look at it when I get home but it looks really well made

loud fossil
#

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

loud fossil
#

I updated it a bit

rose nexus
#

Doesn’t work too well on mobile

rose nexus
#

Lightning phalanx and mirage shot duos

#

Then you’d be set

#

Just want Poms on phalanx shot and chaos cast buffs

loud fossil
#

Yeah ill consider switching to zeus, i just rly like easy double status and the duo

#

But zeus is something I want to run

tight basin
#

Pstatus moment

rose nexus
#

Exposed dio attack Poseidon sword sounds unwieldy for Pstatus

plain river
#

If you want dio attack on pos sword might well run trippy shot as well for big w

loud fossil
#

Yeah that does seem a lot better for room clearing

#

The cast stays in the 3rd enemy, right?

plain river
#

I believe so

loud fossil
#

Ty

#

Will exit wounds affect the other 2?

plain river
#

No

rose nexus
#

Sometimes it just… flies off to a corner across the room

loud fossil
#

Damn

rose nexus
#

Which is an L

loud fossil
#

Thatd be so cool if it did

plain river
#

Why are you so hung up on exit wounds bruh

loud fossil
#

Because its rly good on this build

rose nexus
#

It’s good bossing damage for Poseidon

#

And a good safety net if your build isn’t going so well

plain river
#

Yeah but it isn’t the be all end all

rose nexus
#

But in general for normal chambers things should just be dying and dropping stones that way

#

Just get greatest recall or whatever

plain river
#

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

tight basin
#

Exit wounds should not be killing normal enemies yeah

rose nexus
#

Using a non lodging cast on Poseidon is just like… go play Achilles bro

tight basin
#

True lol

#

Spear kinda doodoo tho

plain river
rose nexus
#

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

plain river
#

Dash after your rushes

rose nexus
#

And it doesn’t seem to make it come out faster

plain river
#

Dashing before your rushes just makes the time before you start charging faster

#

Not the charge charge faster

rose nexus
#

Does it tho

#

The time to start a rush is so sluggish

#

It gets me hit a lot

plain river
#

it does because dstrike into guarding is faster than standing strike into guarding

rose nexus
#

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

plain river
#

so yes bouldy flood flare procs shoals

rose nexus
#

Bloop

#

Well I know it doesn’t proc sea storm so I wasn’t sure

#

Do I want splash dash on beo tho?

loud fossil
#

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

plain river
rose nexus
#

Beo moment

tight basin
rose nexus
#

Icic

plain river
tight basin
#

You use however many casts you need to reach a break point basically

rose nexus
#

Someone tell me if I want splash dash or shoals tho plz then I’ll shut up for at least one minute

tight basin
#

I'd do tdash

#

Fill cores

#

And won't open duos

#

Well ofc it won't open duos rn

rose nexus
#

Smart

tight basin
#

But filling cores is good

rose nexus
#

That pos pos duo

#

Storm storm

plain river
rose nexus
#

Wait no it would be sea sea

tight basin
#

Actually ddash would be good as well because it doesn't open any duos with arty or pos

#

But yeah

rose nexus
#

I’ve heard it here at twice

plain river
#

I’ve never heard that

rose nexus
#

At least twice

plain river
#

Who said it?

rose nexus
#

Ya mama

#

Let me see

plain river
tight basin
#

Oh yeah flood flare doesn't proc sea storm

rose nexus
#

Just search “flood flare sea storm”

#

Amb and aieoeieieuo both have said

plain river
tight basin
#

Yeah

#

The normal attack does tho lol

rose nexus
#

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

tight basin
#

1 or 2 yeah

rose nexus
#

F in the chat I’m forced to take dio or aphro now

#

Ig aphro special

tight basin
#

Why not take a noncore

rose nexus
#

True

#

In that case I want dio maybe

#

Dio non cores are based

tight basin
#

Only take cores if it doesn't open a duo or it's like c12 with no arty yet and you can sell it

rose nexus
#

Guys where’s the meg spot for MM doomstone

tight basin
rose nexus
#

Yes

tight basin
#

You just do the same thing

#

Before it spawns get on top of it and summon

rose nexus
#

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

tight basin
#

Oh lmao

rose nexus
#

Bull rushed through the shockwave

#

🧠

tight basin
#

Imagine not eating the damage so you can get a good meg

rose nexus
#

I’ve never megged them both or tried

tight basin
#

(you're supposed to iframe the damage)

tight basin
#

Tbh as long as I hit the thwomp with it I'm happy

rose nexus
#

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

cunning urchin

Lightning

grand zenith
#

Ah, thanks again to you two.

plain river
#

but otherwise just flat damage

plain river
#

Well when you have 40 base damage and you aren’t attacking nearly as fast as before

plain river
#

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

grand zenith
#

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?

plain river
grand zenith
plain river
#

if you get an attack core it’ll still affect special and cast

grand zenith
#

This is why shackle is bestest.

Is privelege status when using hangover boons ?

lucid oar
#

It’s good yeah

plain river
#

I rerolled and litedally nothing changed bruh

#

Exchange for flourish, crush shot, and dash all remained at the same rarity and all

spare flare
#

Does Rare Crop work on Chaos boons?

rose nexus
#

Nope

spare flare
#

So if all that I have is that and Tidal Dash, big oof.

#

Okay, thanks.

strange lark
#

not big oof

#

red tidal dash good

tight basin
#

lmao true

#

56 base damage

spare flare
#

What, I should have taken that over Crystal Beam?

acoustic vale
#

Arthur better

strange lark
#

yes

spare flare
#

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 . . .

strange lark
#

why do you want to open useless duo boons

#

and also crystal beam takes away boiling blood

#

which isnt good on some aspects

tight basin
#

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

spare flare
#

I mean, Crystal Clarity has shown itself to be pretty fancy.

#

Also, I'm not using Arthur. I'm using Nemesis.

tight basin
#

It was an example

#

And there are plenty of other duos that are good on nemesis

spare flare
#

Also using Cursed Slash, so I kinda' want to hit things with sword more than splashy dashy.

strange lark
tight basin
#

Cursed slash bouldy

strange lark
#

because it takes away boiling blood

spare flare
#

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'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

rose nexus
#

Play Chiron for 32

#

Is what I did

grand zenith
#

:/

tight basin
#

A reflect wouldn't help you there tho I think

twin cloak
tight basin
#

i mean yeah but also hl5 isn't necessary for 32 heat

cunning urchin
#

No particular pact is necessary so long as it adds up to 32.

#

HL5 is good, though.

plain river
#

I cannot spell

cunning urchin
#

FO2 is neither necessary nor recommended for a first 32.

plain river
tight basin
#

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

plain river
#

Cp2 js3 dc 2 td 3 em4 mm bp2 ri4 uhhhh uhhhh
Idk what that adds up to

cunning urchin
#

80 damage from Hades doesn't imply HL5, anyway. Could just be Boiling Blood.

tight basin
#

oh right i forgot that existed

plain river
#

was about to say could be gilgy but gilgy is +50% not +100%

#

And I’m fairly certain they weren’t using gilgy

soft kiln
#

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

tight basin
#

What are your Hermes and rarities

soft kiln
#

purple reflex purple hypersprint

cunning urchin
#

Take poms.

tight basin
#

What else besides ME cores do you have

soft kiln
#

ares atack, athena special, ddash, purple dire misfortune, blue holy shield

tight basin
#

Yeah poms

soft kiln
#

thanks you two

tight basin
#

Rarities would be too risky but you could save scum it if you want lol

soft kiln
#

how do you save scum that?

tight basin
#

Or just get lucky and get it the first time

tight basin
#

Before you take eury

#

Idk if she has to be in frame or not or whatever

soft kiln
#

i thought the rooms lock you out of quitting after you activate something randomized?

tight basin
#

Nah this doesn't lock you out

#

It locks you out if you take damage

#

Anvil and eury doesn't lock you out

soft kiln
#

huh cool

#

so i got flurry jab

#

this is bananas lol

tight basin
#

Based

#

It is me

rose nexus

Bouldy is totally random tho no need to cast

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

loud fossil
#

Ok ty

zeus special is a lightning bolt, not ball lightning

loud fossil

Is special most important on rama?

Don’t fall for the pasta

Tree sucks

plain river
tight basin
trail compass
#

Is there any synergy to zeus and poseidon?

tight basin
#

depends where the cores are but yeah

#

sea storm is a pretty good duo

trail compass
#

Zeus attack and poseidon dash

#

Which one is that again?

tight basin
#

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

trail compass
#

What if im using weapons like the sword or the fist

#

Being close quarters at all times and knocking to the walls

tight basin
#

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

trail compass
#

Im guessing with the double hit

#

Or blast damage increase

tight basin
#

wdym by double hit

trail compass
#

Isnt there a boon that allows the cast or any knock back done by poseidon to hit twice

tight basin
#

oh that's the legendary

trail compass
#

Ah

tight basin
#

that's not needed lol

trail compass
#

Gonna be tough to get then

tight basin
#

any knockback + breaking wave will tear styx apart anyways

trail compass
#

Oh

rose nexus
#

Does second wave make sea storm proc twice off splash dash?

tight basin
#

i would think so

rose nexus
#

And does sea storm proc splitting?

tight basin
#

if the internal timer let it

rose nexus
#

If so brb gonna try something

tight basin
trail compass
#

Im guessing he's gonna go try those boons

tight basin
#

yeah probably

trail compass
#

Hm, guess ill just stick with attack speed apear with crit

#

Worked well last time

tight basin
#

arty atk flurry jab is nice yeah

trail compass
#

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.

rose nexus
#

How fast

tight basin
#

my fastest lernie clear was 15 minutes

trail compass
#

2-3 seconds every phase

tight basin
#

the smaller heads are def gonna take longer than that for the midphase lol

trail compass
#

Ah true

#

Guess i was thinking about how long it takes to kill the maon one

tight basin
#

yeah the main one is pretty easy for the most part

#

it's the smaller ones that hurt more

trail compass
#

Yeah, fun though

tight basin
#

em2 is the opposite of fun tho

trail compass
#

Absolute bullet hell coming from me

#

Yeah em2 is not ok, too much lava

tight basin
#

trans lernie moment

trail compass
#

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

grand zenith
rose nexus
#

Tempest flourish is for weapons that don’t use their special to unlock sea storm with

tight basin
grand zenith
tight basin
#

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

plain river
grand zenith
grand zenith
plain river
#

It can unlock it

grand zenith
tight basin
#

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

rose nexus
#

Would be too easy to unlock the busted combo same as ME

grand zenith
#

Is Kinetic Launcher good with Demeter Fists?

rose nexus
#

It’s funny

#

Idk about good

vale imp
#

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

grand zenith
rose nexus
#

Explosive upper lots better

#

Just did a Demeter run with kinetic

grand zenith
rose nexus
#

Easier to miss with compared to explosive upper

grand zenith
rose nexus
#

I mean for Demeter nearly any special hammer is better than none

#

Explosive upper is 80 dmg tho

#

Compared to kinetic 50

grand zenith
grand zenith
rose nexus
#

Good now learn how to dash strike + dash upper

#

You can do both with one dash

grand zenith
lucid oar
#

Flying cutter only works for standing upper, kinetic works for dash upper too

plain river
#

Plus having a 300 base damage kick compared to the 210/240 of hammerless is always nice

#

explosive cutter is likely better though

Hi guys.
I haven't played with any hidden aspects aside from coronacht's.
Can anyone suggest a build for Aspect of Lucifer?

plain river
#

Zeus attack aphrodite special hope for triple bomb

#

Get zeus call or some other call and hit smouldering air

nimble plank
#

So do I spam bombs everywhere and then shoot at them?

plain river
#

Yes

nimble plank
#

💀

plain river
#

You also dash into them with tidal dash 🧠

#

shoot to trigger does suck

nimble plank
plain river
#

Aphro special opens smair

#

plus aphro and arte are kinda interchangable

nimble plank
#

So I should start with tidal dash and then focus on getting zeus' attack and aid, correct?

plain river
#

0 40 heat wins

nimble plank
#

Okay.

plain river
#

you can use any other dash

nimble plank
#

So I go for zeus, then aphrodite and the third god is?

plain river
#

pos ig

nimble plank
plain river
#

if you see pos or athena take them for dash ig

nimble plank
#

Okay.

plain river
#

other dashes are less cool but usable

nimble plank
#

Thanks!

plain river
#

Cool kids use zeus special so they don’t have to blow the bombs up themself

nimble plank
#

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.

nimble plank
#

That build is OP.

plain river
#

Yes but it isn’t worth it over jsut exploding the bombs immediately

#

I don’t think pos special knocks them far enough

paper fable
#

What weapon and aspect would be the most OP if you could somehow have every hammer boon active at once?

lucid oar
#

Probably aspect of rama

#

Concentrated volley + relentless volley by itself on Rama is absolutely bonkers

Add on twin triple point blank perfect

who said anything about no dash-

I did.

#

Just now.

No dash trash because you rd without hyper

Just get more Ignited Ichors.

You can still i-frame the explosion without dash anyway.

you're not gonna have call without smair because everything dies instantly anyway

What's a good keepsake for Aspho?

tender latch
#

Supporting god for your build in most cases

cunning urchin
#

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.

tender latch
#

Could also take zeus call

#

Yeah

#

You don't need smair as bad since you have fists + hangover though

cunning urchin
#

Still good.

#

Also opens up Scintillating Feast potentially.

grand zenith
cunning urchin
#

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.

No.

Dammit, no revenge damage.

#

Which one?

#

What are you using?

grand zenith
#

Oh, Fists.

plain river

probably urge to kill or blade dash then

#

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

You have drunken strike don't you

paper fable

2k special crits would have been hilarious

grand zenith
paper fable
#

I ended up choosing the other one so my normal attack is better at finishing off stragglers or quick enemies, though

tender latch
#

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

paper fable
#

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

strange lark
#

revenge is good

#

battle rage is pommable

paper fable
#

Does the Swift Flourish boon work on the Railgun's special missile time?

strange lark
#

wdym

#

does it drop faster?

#

is that what you are asking?

paper fable
#

Yeah, does it arc through the air faster

strange lark
#

no

#

it reduces the cooldown of the special so you can shoot them faster

paper fable
#

Ah

grand zenith
#

Oh, yeah for sure.

paper fable
#

Still useful, but I'd have preferred missile speed

#

1750 crits are beautiful

cooldown is faster

#

Double edge

grand zenith
#

Thx.

tight basin
#

announcements moment

plain river
#

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

tight basin
#

if you have doom atk, does piercing wave inflict doom as well or nah

#

i'd assume not

plain river
#

No

tight basin
#

cringe

plain river
#

Piercing wave isn’t affected by attack boons

#

Only global damage

tight basin
#

rd piercing wave gaming

plain river
#

And only fires one wave with dedge I believe

tight basin
#

gotta get that big damage

#

oh bruh

#

amazing

plain river
#

Still one of the better sword hammers

tight basin
#

Yeah

plain river
#

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

Pwave would work better for Arthur

#

In this fantasy world

plain river
#

Pwave should work better for arthur

#

Be a big slash

rose nexus
#

Pwave Arthur shoots a literal bullet from your sword

plain river

But as seen with charged shot shield, hidden aspects do not change how hammers work

Gun blades smh

Oh

Sword bullet

#

Nobody plays ff8 anymore

rose nexus
plain river
#

Family favourites8

rose nexus
#

It’s a game for the privileged status 1

plain river

FF8=Pstatus

#

Both are 40% damage boost

Imagine Pstatus with weak and hunters mark as your curses

#

And heart rend

#

Sounds op

plain river

pstatus weaken hangover

#

Pstatus exposed doom zagluv

#

Pstatus exposed ruptured

rose nexus
#

Pstatus jolted ruptured

#

With sea storm

plain river

🧠

rose nexus
#

Would actually not be bad

plain river
#

Probably not be bad but idk

rose nexus
#

Except for when you didn’t get both t2s

plain river
#

Means your pos boon applies pststus by itself

rose nexus
#

So 90% of the runs lmao

#

Pstatus curse of longing

#

🧠

#

Never lose Pstatus status even when doom expires

plain river
#

Pstatus chill coldfusion jolted

#

never have it run out 10 second duration is huge

rose nexus
#

TRUE

#

Just get dem atk and Zeus dash

plain river
#

Hangover is a status curse yes bouldy

#

Festive fog isn’t

#

Each olympian aside from hades and hermes has 1 and only 1 status curse

tight basin
#

Half require a t2 other half comes with it

plain river
#

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 bouldy)
Zeus: Jolted
Hades spin marking, Gilgamesh maiming, Rama Shared suffering and Talos magnetised pull buff, boiling/abyssal blood are not status curses

rose nexus
plain river
#

Last I checked he was and I’m pretty sure Hades didn’t retcon that?

rose nexus
#

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

plain river
#

Oh says codex bruh

rose nexus
#

I mean Wikipedia says so too 💁

trail compass
#

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

proper furnace
#

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

trail compass
#

Alright, thanks. Also your name fits my cureent situation very well

proper furnace

#

Aight, thanks

random perch

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?

tight basin
#

you can still do heat 2 for sword

#

each bounty is separate for each weapon

random perch
#

Ooooh ok that's good. Cuz my progress has slowed a ton 😅

tight basin
#

so like, you can keep using sword and get all the bounties from 1-20 but not touch any of the others lol

random perch
#

I was scared I'd have to fully depend on All Coin runs and buy more Titan Blood from Styx Charon

tight basin
#

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

random perch
#

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

tight basin
#

lmao i dont remember what my first win was on

random perch
#

Would've never said Blade was my best weapon. Perhaps it's Boon RNG

rose nexus
#

But I got merciful end on it and it’s kind of hard to lose with that

tight basin
#

good chance it's that

plain river
#

My first victory was probably shield

rose nexus
#

Even when you’re new as hell

plain river
#

I remember it was attempt 50 on the dot

rose nexus
#

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

random perch
#

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

tight basin
#

my first escape was on 23 apparently i thought it was 17 and i've been saying 17 whoops

random perch
#

||At least I did it before 100||

plain river
#

Oh wtf is that

plain river
#

At least you escaped

tight basin
#

bruh my second clear also had a charon fight

#

this is so based

plain river
#

ptsd to the dude who complained about Hades not having checkpoints and then refunded the game and left the server

tight basin
#

lmfao

random perch
#

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

tight basin
#

based

random perch
tight basin
#

well by "checkpoint" they were upset that every time they died they had to restart

random perch
#

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)

tight basin
#

it do be like that

#

that's achilles lol

#

chiron is a bow

random perch
#

Woops lol

tight basin
#

close tho, it's the first aspect

random perch
#

Been using Chiron a lot lately

tight basin
#

chiron's pretty decent

random perch
#

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

tight basin
#

a lot of people dont like bow because they dont dash strike a lot lol
dash strikes charge the shot 33% faster

random perch
plain river
random perch
tight basin
#

chiron is very friendly for bow beginners tho once you get it to a good level

plain river
random perch
#

Had Hades at half health phase 2 earlier tonight on it

tight basin
acoustic vale
#

I've never managed to get the timing for charging bow dash strikes correctly

plain river
#

I think they meant 2nd down from the top

tight basin
#

i get it like 75% of the time

random perch
plain river
#

Once you’re on the roll you don’t fall

tight basin
plain river
#

dash attack >>>> standing striking

plain river
random perch
#

It feels like mashing Dash and then Attack immediately just shoots it like half an inch from you

tight basin
#

i thought you were supposed to do standing strikes on fist lol

plain river
#

You dash then attack

rose nexus
#

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

plain river
#

you still hold it to powershot it’s just way faster

random perch
#

Oh
I didn't think that counts as Dash Attack
I do the charge and then dash lol

tight basin
#

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

random perch
#

I need to keep this in mind that will help

tight basin
#

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

plain river
#

The only applies to bow though

#

Since it’s the only weapon like it

plain river
tight basin
#

lmao

random perch
#

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

tight basin
#

i think that's just ice wine carry lol

plain river
#

That is not a build

#

That is just random crap thrown together and you hit a duo

random perch
#

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

tight basin
#

they have their place but it's not all together lol

random perch
#

I suppose Doom, Artemis, and Festive Fog do help cover me a lot with my low skill lol

plain river
#

Artemis call also just

#

Isn’t the greatest

#

And those gods don’t syngergize well with each other tbh

random perch
#

Really? Feels like it and Demeter calls are best for me

tight basin
#

well ares and arty do but not with those cores lol

plain river
#

aside from arte + ares but you aren’t even talking hunting blades

#

zeus and dio are best dps calls

#

artemis is free iframes ig

tight basin
plain river
#

demeter is good for just applying chill not great damage without her tier 2’s though

tight basin
#

dem just exists, it's not good damage and is only good for applying chill

random perch
#

Ah fair
Yeah I've noticed Artemis call isn't good for 1 Gauge, only full

plain river
#

It’s free iframes at 1 gauge

plain river
random perch
plain river
#

but zeus and dio will do more damage faster with a lot of small calls

tight basin
plain river
#

Like nanas said

tight basin
#

if you see a hit coming and you use call, you'll get it most of the time

random perch
#

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

acoustic vale
plain river
#

It has no prerequisite

plain river
tight basin
#

shot*

random perch
plain river
#

They cannot be combined with trippy shot

#

that’s the issue

tight basin
#

can't be combined with casts that dont lodge

random perch
#

I mean I don't do it consistently I just picked it up a few times today

plain river
#

Your problem is you’re running trippy shot

#

Or some other non-lodging cast

random perch
#

No, 95% of the time I don't mess with casts that don't lodge

#

So RNG just hates me that much?

tight basin
#

just unlucky then lol

#

yeah

plain river
plain river
#

Artemis is best waifu

#

#

This is a threat

tight basin
plain river
#

oh true

#

Artemis second best waifu
Bouldy best waifu

spare flare
#

Ugh. Zeus shield hammer making me pick between Charged Shot and Explosive Return.

tight basin
#

explosive return is better unless you want to ignore most of the special and just cshot your way to victory lol

spare flare
#

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.

tight basin
#

Damn it do be like that

rose nexus
#

Pain

#

When I tried Zeus it was underwhelming

spare flare
#

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.

rose nexus
#

Electric shot is a good boon?

proven osprey
#

I don't think Zeus needs boons to clear zaglol

cunning urchin
tender latch
#

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

gusty rapids
#

electric shot is pretty solid yeah

#

good boon

tender latch
#

I've had a couple eris runs that just happened to pick up zeus cast

#

easy way to clear spread enemies without using ammo

soft kiln
#

on hera with arty attack and ares third should i go into aspho with demeter or poseidon?

tender latch
#

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

soft kiln
#

well i messed up

#

oh well

tender latch
#

why'd you ask and then go poseidon anyway lmao

soft kiln
#

because it took 3 minutes, i have adhd and i got bored

#

so whats good hera builds

tender latch
#

Artemis isn't even a waifu she's a homie

tender latch
# wicked adder so whats good hera builds

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?

there are two genders. husband and gf

The only 2 genders are husband and gf

#

Wait no

#

There is a third

You’re either a husband, a gf, or a bouldy

#

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

wicked adder
#

interesting

#

whats merciful end again

#

and why is this a good build

plain river
#

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

wicked adder
#

wb cast

#

just whatever?

plain river
#

I mean true shot opens deadly reversal in this case

wicked adder
#

why would lodging be better than a dps one

plain river
wicked adder
#

what?

plain river
#

Normal weapons use lodging casts because they get their dps from sttack and sprcial

#

so boiling blood

#

I am unable to spell

wicked adder
#

but why cant you just use cast?

#

i dont really understand

#

you cant buff attack and special that much

#

how

#

like how tho

plain river
#

castpects are the ones that use cast for dps

#

Otherwise boiling blood from lodging is buffing your attack and special

wicked adder
#

but what id your attack and special arent good lol

plain river
#

which means more dps for the parts of your build that matter

wicked adder
#

like i dont get it

wicked adder
#

im playing sword

plain river
#

You want boiling blood

#

Your attack is good

#

You just need to dash strike

wicked adder
#

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

plain river
#

Hunting blades isn’t the be all end all

thorn tendon
#

play the game however you want

wicked adder
plain river
wicked adder
#

they feel so weak i dont get it

#

???

plain river
wicked adder
#

why

plain river
#

which is, when you aren’t using a castpect, your main source of damage is coming from attack and special

wicked adder
#

i do way less damage

plain river
#

Because you don’t know what to build

wicked adder
#

yes?

#

idk whats a good boon

plain river
#

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

wicked adder
#

girl whats dash striking

#

im constantly dashing

plain river
#

That relies on you getting other attack addiitve

wicked adder
#

am i not always dash striking

plain river
#

It’ll look like a thrust

wicked adder
#

who attacks without dashing

plain river
#

but it doesn’t count as a thrust for cruel thrust hammer btw

wicked adder
#

sad

#

i know

plain river
#

Otherwise since you’ve aphrodite in the build you can take zeus call hope for smair as well

#

Boiling damage will give you good damage if your dps is coming from your attack and/or special
Like is the case with nem
