I just tried it for a second I haven't picked up this weapon since I unlocked it

#

that's. long.

plain river
#

I don’t think I have many hestia runs but I do know it’s based af

valid dagger
#

It’s pretty gud

#

Very fun to play too

neon terrace
tight basin
#

just remap the buttons then?

earnest hatch
#

I'm on keyboard and mouse bc bow/guns are hell on controller tbh

tight basin
#

funny enough, optimal rail gameplay turns off attack at cursor

tawny knoll
#

Gun never clicked with me, but bow feels just fine on gamepad

tight basin
neon terrace
# tight basin just remap the buttons then?

what's the point? eris is the best aspect in the game anyway, so if im gonna use the rail ill just use that. zag rail's also good, and lucifer sucks ass but it's probably the coolest aspect

earnest hatch
#

LUCIFER IS SO COOL LEAVE IT ALONE

#

Sea Storm is rly good on it tbh idk

tight basin
#

luci is really good bouldy

#

legit just build it as eris

earnest hatch
#

Also Aphro/Artemis triple bomb

#

Is

#

Nasty

tight basin
#

get triple bomb yeah

plain river
tight basin
plain river
#

If eris is the best aspect in the game where is it’s speedrun wr and its 64 heat clear

tight basin
#

routed wr

plain river
#

I just realised how dumb seeded modded is as a category

tight basin
#

lmfao

#

high heat seeded is nonexistent

plain river
#

Ik

plain river
#

It has a wr in one subcategory compared to a bunch of other aspects

#

when a bunch of others have more

plain river
neon terrace
tight basin
#

i wont disagree with you in that it's a really good and strong aspect for heat and speed, but neither of them are the top contender for any of them

earnest hatch
#

It's very "get this" specific but Lucifer is such a blast to play

#

Like not even with triple bomb

ionic crown
#

speaking of lucifer

earnest hatch
#

Attack can work with Zeus/Sea Storm/Dio

plain river
tight basin
#

i mean with luci just get lightning strike and any % special and you're good to go

earnest hatch
#

Only 5!

earnest hatch
#

It's kinda like rama

#

But reverse

#

Status attack and % special

tight basin
#

except you dont want poseidon attack

plain river
#

Triple bomb is so common on lucifer

ionic crown
earnest hatch
#

Don't tell me you hate the super soaker build

tight basin
#

i forgot super soaker is actually decent lmao

#

well i hate it as a concept because it's bad until you get sea storm

#

but then at that point it's just budget lightning strike lmao

earnest hatch
#

Not necessarily! it keeps you pretty safe tbh

plain river
#

Not safe

tight basin
plain river
#

enough

tight basin
#

until sea storm

earnest hatch
#

OKAY BUT

#

its. still cool

tight basin
#

also knockback on bosses is mostly nonexistent

#

fair

#

i wont say it's an invalid build

#

i just hate it lmao

earnest hatch
#

you're right just let me have this I love it too much

#

really enjoying Beowulf btw

proper furnace
#

Beobug my beloved

earnest hatch
#

I was like "Time to not have fun ag- 500 damage aphro bull rush in room one"

#

jaw dropping

tight basin
#

anyways back to the topic of eris not being the best aspect in the game
hera and beo are fighting for the wr atm, beo is a top heat aspect until 60, zeus cleared 63

#

eris highest is 57, and in regards to speedrunning it doesnt have a sub5 while hera, beo, and achilles do

#

eris isn't the top, but it is still very good

plain river
#

The only thing eris has is a routed wr

tight basin
#

literally because c1 rocket and c2 is 3 louts that can be one shot

#

so you essentially start the run with rocket and lightning strike lmao

#

obv other things as well

#

but eris early game is extremely strong

plain river
#

Compared to a bunch of other aspects with more achievements

#

I say a bunch but it’s kinda jyst hera and beo (and rama?)

neon terrace
plain river
#

Calling clockets “the strongest build in the game” 🤨

ionic crown
#

is clockets the best build in the game?

#

Seems like a bit exaggerated

lucid oar
#

Imo cshot > clockets

tight basin
#

Heat and speedrunning

earnest hatch
#

What is C shot

lucid oar
#

Charged shot

ionic crown
#

Charged Shot

#

On shield

#

Bull Rush turns into pew pew

#

80 base damage

earnest hatch
#

Oh that's what I just got on the Beo run

ionic crown
#

it’s p good

tight basin
#

Also Hera isn't "somewhat better" it literally has the wr

#

Zeus is not "somewhat" better at heat

#

57 to 64 is a steep increase in difficulty

#

I can't speak on rama because I don't remember how high it is

proper furnace
#

62

#

And 5:xx

tight basin
#

I would not call eris the best aspect at all tho

thorn tendon
tight basin
#

Very good yes

tight basin
lucid oar
#

Seeded unmodded is 60

tight basin
#

ah

neon terrace
lucid oar
#

And that’s harder than modded imo

thorn tendon
#

seeded just for dio attack start

lucid oar
thorn tendon
#

well epic too ig

tight basin
#

i've done without mirage, flood, and cshot

neon terrace
#

mfs who think beo are the best def llay modded/seeded

neon terrace
ionic crown
lucid oar
thorn tendon
#

beo is one of the best unmodded aspects

neon terrace
tight basin
lucid oar
#

Passion beo with snow burst is still very good

proper furnace
#

Wait nvm why did i think it had 62

ionic crown
lucid oar
ionic crown
#

Ooh and blade rift call

#

uh oh

#

no no word!!!!

proper furnace
neon terrace
tight basin
#

me who cleared 45 heat with thunder flare today

#

also dont use the special

#

and the atk is fine tbh

ionic crown
lucid oar
#

Dash strike makes up for the attack

tight basin
#

if i cant use cshot i can just use sudden rush it's whatever

ionic crown
#

If you don’t get good X then it’s bad or whatever

tight basin
#

literally no one is saying eris is bad btw

#

we're just saying it's def not the best aspect

tawny knoll
#

I am

#

JK

#

I just don’t like playing with it all that much

#

But, again, gamepad

tight basin
#

everyone can agree eris is a top aspect, just not THE top

tawny knoll
#

Funny magnet cutter go brrrrrr

tight basin
#

hell eris could be argued as top 3

tawny knoll
#

Now that’s my kind of brainless

#

Mixed with Poseidon special? Baby you got a STEW brewing

proper furnace
#

Now for funny discussion
What weapon is more oonga boonga
Eris or achilles

lucid oar
#

Eris

tight basin
#

i'm bad at achilles so eris ofc

lucid oar
#

I’m bad at both

tight basin
#

well same

tawny knoll
#

Works fine for me, idk, sounds like a skill issue on your part

tight basin
#

but eris is easier to play than achilles imo

#

so therefore eris is more unga bunga

proper furnace
#

Eris is like the introduction weapon to speedrunning tbh

#

Comfy and gets the results show quock

#

🤝

lucid oar
#

🤝

neon terrace
tight basin
#

i used beo first

proper furnace
lucid oar
tight basin
#

a +500% buff to the attack is like 60 damage per bullet

#

which is like

#

good yeah

#

but

#

500%

#

chaos shield gimmick point blank is 75 in contrast

#

and the gimmick sucks

tawny knoll
#

The aspect of all time

tight basin
#

but also yeah, any cast besides icy flare can work on beo

#

and any % atk can work on beo because loading cast gives it +100% atk damage

#

theoretically how well would spread fire eris go

#

because ik you get like 6 bullets in the chamber

#

but that's also the only way to get % damage to work

neon terrace
#

icy flare and hunter flare are awful. how can yall call such a one dimensional aspect the best lmao zeus > beo easily

tight basin
#

i mean it's just 1 flare that's utterly horrible

#

hunter is fine because it opens mirage still

#

also a 220% damage boost on a eris bullet is 32 damage a bullet, which frankly is kinda sad

#

also zeus is pretty horrible for speed

tight basin
#

it's pretty horrible frankly

neon terrace
#

u fire like 20 eris bullets in the time it takes to load 1 cast and bull rush without sudden rush on beo

#

yes

#

im not great at the game, only been playing a couple months, but i did 40 on every weapon and have sub 10 on the rail and fists

tight basin
#

a clip of that damage is 384 damage, cshot beo with a cast loaded is 160, each cast is at minimum doing 120 damage each without mirage

#

also beo spits out damage a lot faster

neon terrace
#

but one of my friends did 54 heat with eris

tight basin
#

angel prob tbh

#

i can check

#

either way i can ping one of them

#

well baj is mainly zeus isnt he

#

and we already know zeus is strong for heat

#

fair

#

oh it's some chinese dude who did 60 beo nvm

#

wait beo cleared 62 huh

#

wait

#

i read the thing wrong

neon terrace
#

modding and seeding skews ppl's perception a lot. some dude who has a ton of experience used beo at a gdq and only got like a 12:30

tight basin
#

reading wrong place lmao

#

what is gdq

tawny knoll
#

Games Done Quick

thorn tendon
#

rta or igt

tight basin
#

12:30 rta is insane btw

thorn tendon
#

there are players worse than tree??

tight basin
#

the only way i can see beo getting a 12:30 at an event is if it wasn't a 2sack

#

maybe 4 sack for that

#

and a ton of bad rooms like unarmored witches and swordmen

#

yeah 3 sack doesnt have to fight nonminiboss rooms

#

4 sack is rough

thorn tendon
#

true shot flare gdq run

tight basin
#

where's the run actually i'd like to check it out

#

ping me when it's found because i need to eat dinner

neon terrace
#

luck wise it was a terrible, terrible run tbf, he started with poseidon's keepsake, rolled twice, and got stuck with like tempest flourish, flood shot, and poseidon's aid. he didnt get deadly strike either and ended up settling for crush shot i think

tight basin
neon terrace
tight basin
#

3 rerolls gone off the start is horrible for the run and warrants a reset

neon terrace
#

im looking too

tight basin
#

Def not rta

thorn tendon
#

tempest flourish 12:30 rta

neon terrace
tight basin
#

This isn't a fair comparison tbh

#

You can't call beo bad because of a bad start

#

I want to see eris get a good time with a % based atk and flat damage special

neon terrace
#

Oh nvm just found it, it was a section of all weapons run lmao

neon terrace
plain river
#

Beowulf is one of the best

neon terrace
tight basin
#

Like across every category besides routed

#

Beo is just better

neon terrace
#

Beo is just not nearly veratile enough it's super one dimensional

tight basin
#

I wouldn't even call beo the best frankly either

plain river
#

Beowulf isn’t the best but neither is eris

ionic crown
#

I don’t think anyone is saying any aspect is the best

tight basin
#

Beo is a bit hard to learn tbh but it's not that difficult either

neon terrace
ionic crown
#

just that making eris definitely the best is wrong

tight basin
ionic crown
tight basin
#

And sword

neon terrace
#

sword is by far the worst

tight basin
#

Shield special is just bad in general except on zeus

plain river
#

You use every button on achilles does that make it the best weapon

neon terrace
tight basin
#

And it's bad

plain river
tight basin
#

Just because it has a gimmick doesn't make said gimmick good

#

Talos gimmick sucks

plain river
#

Hades gimmickk

#

Zag sword gimmick

#

Pos gimmick is just out performed by achilles

tight basin
plain river
#

I mean zag sword gimmick

neon terrace
#

I dont use the shield much outside of Zeus tbf but a lot of ppl like Chaos

#

true

plain river
#

Damn bro look at how popular sword is for fresh file though

neon terrace
#

i mean haelian had it in s tier on his aspect tier list

#

nah bc he says in yhe vid how broken it was in 1.0

plain river
#

The only reason chaos is any good is because it is a shield

tight basin
#

It did get nerfed a lot

plain river
ionic crown
#

TRUE

plain river
#

Take bouldy boon

neon terrace
#

how do u guys see the highest heat done for every aspect?

ionic crown
#

probably speedrun dot com

#

or a sheet

plain river
#

64 heat routed zeus shield is the only one I remember

neon terrace
#

also like i kinda doubt theres any way to know for sure that nobody has done a higher heat on any given aspect

#

humans are too good at video games

ionic crown
#

hearsay is not a source man

#

idk what to tell you

plain river
ionic crown
#

even some random having a simple screenshot of the completed screen is scuffed

neon terrace
#

i bet someone in the world has done 60 heat guan yu but we just dont know about it bc they didnt plaster the jnternet with their achievement

ionic crown
#

recording software is plentiful and easily available

#

bragging rights

plain river
#

If they don’t record it that’s on them

#

It didn’t happen

neon terrace
#

there has to be someone whos that good at video games, i mean theres mfs beating every souls game + sekiro and bloodborne all back to back with no breaks hitless

ionic crown
#

sure pal

#

it’s just skill

#

No luck involved

#

anyways I find this a pointless logical exercise

#

I believe I will meme beam now

plain river
neon terrace
#

yeah, and? someone could dedicate a ton of time and figure it out. not saying several people but a few probably have for each weapon

ionic crown
plain river
#

What’s the point in Shroedingers 60 heat clear

ionic crown
#

Say there is someone else who has done gun on a higher heat threshold

#

does that suddenly make eris the best aspect in the game

neon terrace
#

tens of thousands of people have bought this game, it's not like there's no chance

plain river
#

oh yeah btw I did 65 heat on zag sword

ionic crown
#

What if they did 64 heat with lucifer

#

not eris

#

What would you say then

neon terrace
#

wouod be very impressive

plain river
neon terrace
#

some ppl are just built different in video games

ionic crown
plain river
#

Get to the point

neon terrace
ionic crown
#

oml

neon terrace
#

unless it's literally 60+

#

but even then

plain river
ionic crown
#

hey chill a bit

#

but yeah

#

what happens after thst

neon terrace
# plain river Get to the point

the point is, theres no way to discern the "heat records" on any aspect, apart from just knowing obviously that the max is 64

ionic crown
#

magic heat clearing boogeyman

#

so there is no actual point here

plain river
#

and confirm they’re real

#

Any human record we have isn’t trustable because someone else could’ve been better and just not recorded it dusa

neon terrace
plain river
#

but it’s possible

#

like you’ve been saying

#

It could happen

#

shroedingers world record is truly dusa

#

Someone else always could’ve been better and just not recorded

#

I can’t spell

neon terrace
#

it just kinda isnt possible though

plain river
#

Are you sure

#

100% sure

neon terrace
#

that's completely different from doing something in a videogame

plain river
#

are you 100% it isn’t possible?

neon terrace
#

u cannot be serious rn

#

a decade of world class physical training, dieting, and pt around the clock, all day every day, combined with world class talent, versus some guy who's really good at a videogame and played it a lot but didnt post his/her achievements

plain river
#

And also the fundemental idea is the same
Someone out there could be better just unrecorded and you wouldn’t know

#

Which is stupid

#

It’s a stupid idea

#

like yeah it’s possible

#

But why dwell on the possibility

#

What people put the work in to record is what we know

#

It’s just like ME

#

For the same reasons as ME

#

+20% crit chance off of ddash on any given build

#

Deadly strike shadesmile

tight basin
#

Mark no?

#

More critical chance

#

And chain crits for more damage

thorn tendon
#

attack if you didn’t have heart rend

plain river
neon terrace
#

I dont even remember using any langiage that would trigger that wtf

tight basin
#

Doesn't open mettle either

#

Breaching probably

neon terrace
#

I mean you have Heart Rend already, wouldnt it be best to go for Hunter's Mark or Hide Breaker

tight basin
#

Does that apply to dstrikes

#

What's the description

neon terrace
#

Breaching easy, unless you have a really strong sword special build going for some reason

tight basin
#

Well if it doesn't apply to dstrikes then it's useless

#

And super nova would actually do something

#

Then it probably doesn't affect dstrikes

#

I think

#

Damn if that's the case then it's horrible

#

You could test it for us if you want lmao

#

If it is useless then we gotta change @plain river tier list

#

To be fair

#

Super nova isn't doing much

#

I guess it adds up over time on bosses

#

But it's eh in general

#

That's also fair

#

Prob fine to take but like

#

Considering every other hammer description and how they work

#

I doubt it works on dstrikes right

plain river
thorn tendon
#

breaching does affect dash strikes

#

shadow doesn’t

tight basin
#

okay so hammer descriptions aren't even consistent

thorn tendon
#

or the other way around

tight basin
#

shadow does not

#

because that's been said many times

#

ik that for sure

plain river
#

The only thing that needs to be changed is shadow moving to an arthur only

#

I know for a fact that breaching and hoarding apply to dstrikes and shadow doesn’t

tight basin
#

bruh i thought hammer descriptions were like the only consistent thing in the game

#

guess not

#

very cool

#

--Sword hammers
Hoarding slash gold multiplier 5% > 15%
Cursed slash now works on dash strikes
Shadow slash now works on dash strikes
Flurry slash now deals ramping damage, 5 per hit with a 0.8s window
Super nova damage and range +20% > 50%
Double nova damage interval 0.2s > 0.1s--Sword hammers
part of pony's rebalance mod

#

these actually look really nice lmao

#

with this?

#

probably with the way it works i guess

#

didnt mention fixing how it works

#

but i guess it's better lmao

plain river
#

I knew that as well

tight basin
#

cruel thrust not applying to dstrikes as well is a travesty tho

plain river
#

Cruel thrust would be broken if allowed to apply to dstrikes

cunning urchin
tight basin
#

true croven doesnt have to fight

#

he has a folder

#

beo would have wr if croven played beo

#

he actually got a sub5 earlier today lmao

#

like 4:49 or something?

plain river
#

zag sword would have wr if croven played zag sword

tight basin
#

4:56 damn

cunning urchin
#

If Croven played all aspects, Hera would have the WR among his WRs. squirtdevious

tight basin
plain river
cunning urchin
#

That's because they're all trying to beat his WR with Beowulf.

tight basin
plain river
#

+220% dstrike damage on 60 damage dstrike on +40% crit chance without boons, just hammers

cunning urchin
#

If both aspects one-shot everything, the aspect that can one-shot faster wins.

#

And that's Hera. squirtdevious

tight basin
#

isn't dedge just 140% more damage

plain river
#

So kinda but dedge buff is additive

cunning urchin
#

I didn't see the question lol.

cunning urchin
#

And there's like no upside really.

#

Calculated Risk on sword is comfy.

tight basin
#

can't dash out of 2nd nova?

cunning urchin
tight basin
#

ah

#

well it'd make it harder to dash out of it i guess

#

but still possible

cunning urchin
#

No, there's no difference.

#

You can dash at the same time.

neon terrace
#

losing to EM4 on 50 heat is so demoralizing

#

like ik it just means i was basically playing in 46 heat before but still

#

so close yet so far

tight basin
#

I've never done em4 on high heat lmao

#

Realistically I should but I don't feel like learning em4

proper furnace
#

I did em4 for 45

#

Was fun but i fully know i could have done it easoer without lol

cloud minnow
#

Is Frost Strike good on Fists?

tight basin
#

Nope

cloud minnow
#

is it just bad on everything then

proper furnace
#

Is a decent option on hestia at high rarity

#

Not as good as aphro but if it refuses to show up

#

Might as well

#

Same goes for rama

cloud minnow
#

wait why hestia?

#

Doesn't Aspect of Hestia want single big hits

proper furnace
#

Dem % is decent at epic

plain river
#

same with the special

cloud minnow
#

is chill just a bad debuff in general to play with then?

#

if her boons are mainly taken for the stat

plain river
#

Chill is good

#

Killing freeze is good

proper furnace
#

Chill is comfy

plain river
#

Chill is good for pstatus

cloud minnow
#

More just that it's not so good for building around then?

plain river
#

?

cloud minnow
#

erm as in

#

"If it's not worth taking frost strike on a fast attacking weapon, does that mean trying to play around building a lot of chill stacks is a bad idea"

plain river
#

I mean

proper furnace
#

Chiron artic blast can be funny on that idea

plain river
#

Building a lot of chill stacks happens anyways on low attack speed weapons because chill lasts for 8 seconds or something

proper furnace
#

Or meme beams if you get glaciar glare and artic blast

#

And yeah that ^

plain river
#

If you’re asking for arctic blast purposes then yeah it’s not the greatest to build for

tight basin
#

The issue with Dem is that Aphrodite percent is better and if you're relying on chill for the slow so you can avoid stuff, then that's just something to work on

#

Ofc chill is good

#

But it's not really a go to option on any build

#

For the atk and special at least

#

Her supporting boons are fine

plain river
#

I found that spread fire zag rail can both make use of the +% well and apply chill stacks fast enough for arctic blast

tight basin
#

Chill at high heat is obv great because more room to dodge, but most of the time you'd rather have like aphro atk

cloud minnow
#

I see

#

Is Zeus/Dionysus going to be the default for high attack speed stuff then?

plain river
#

And doom

cloud minnow
#

I thought doom doesn't stack?

plain river
#

Yeah it doesn’t

proper furnace
#

ME moment

plain river
#

But like you build merciful end and that doesn’t matter

cloud minnow
#

ah

neon terrace
#

ME can be kinda tough to acquire though, especially if you're using a build where you probably need DDash to get the most out kf it

tight basin
#

i mean to be fair the idea that high atk speed aspects can use doom on the atk is still applicable

neon terrace
#

well yeah, I just think of it as flat damage is better for parts of weapons that stack dps quickly

#

so dio, ares, zeus

#

but artemis is always good bc crits are huge, and aphro bc her percentages are huge

tight basin
#

on fast attacking weapons like rail and fists they'd suck on the atk

#

assuming you get artemis atk to 50%, you'd have a 15% chance for bullets to crit for like 45 or something

#

i guess if you get enough chaos additive it'd be better but also that's just too much effort lmao

plain river
#

The +% just doesn’t work for low base damage fast attacks

neon terrace
plain river
#

Common lvl1 zeus strike on it owns is a doubling of your rails attack dps
The same can’t be anywhere near as said for arte or aphro attack on rail

neon terrace
#

If you get an epic aphro it's good still since it can be 100% or above

#

which is doubling

plain river
#

So zeus strike goes a whole lot farther

neon terrace
plain river
#

common zeus strike makes every strike do 20

neon terrace
#

With the rail Im usually going for zeus or dio on attack and aphro or artemis on the special anyways

#

crits are triple damage so i feel like artemis still isnt bad

plain river
#

I’m just saying that the idea the artemis or aphro work well on low base damage fast attackers is wrong because flat damage goes infinitely farther

tight basin
#

zeus atk has greater aoe and chains 4 times or something (reduced damage but still)

plain river
#

It’s like a multiplicative 20% reduction each time

#

Maybe?

#

I remember we looked at the numbers once

neon terrace
#

btw what's the highest possible damage resist you can have at a time? like without being impervious

plain river
#

I think it closes in on 95% theoretically was what the wiki said but I have no basis for those numbers

tight basin
#

technically 100 if you get an impossible amount of poms on bronze skin

neon terrace
#

say you start an arthur run with epic bronze skin, then get epic different league and positive outlook on the next 2 chambers, and you have a pom blossom or something and keep just pomming those 3

#

maybe you get rare crop or something

tight basin
#

resist in multiplicative tho

plain river
#

.6 damage from arthur
.7 damage on abyssal blood iirc
.9 damage from epic bronze skin
.6 (or something) from weak with broken resolve

#

.9 from bouldy

#

That’s nearing on 80% I believe

#

I may need to double check my math for that

#

.7 from sturdy (hyper sprint)

#

Thats about 86% dmg resist

tight basin
#

isn't sturdy 30%

#

oh is this damage taken

neon terrace
#

If you're somehow able to make the right boons heroic, is it theoretically possible to actually get near 90% damage resist?

#

in a run

plain river
#

I believe

#

And then like

#

I’m blanking give me a second

#

Is high tolerance the right dio boon I’m thinking of?

tight basin
#

yeah that exists

plain river
#

Can’t remember the numbers for it

#

But yeah you can get big damage resist

plain river
plain river
#

Ew wtf

tight basin
#

i mean it's just overalp

plain river
#

I can’t read that

tight basin
#

but it's so disgusting

tight basin
#

oh bruh

#

so it can't even get to 100%

#

this is so sad

twin cloak
#

things just don't damage you at this stage so why bother

tight basin
#

funny

plain river
twin cloak
#

cheat engine

jovial niche
#

OH

plain river
twin cloak
#

I'm pretty sure bronze skin pomming is relative to the amount of % left it needs to reach 100%

plain river
twin cloak
#

so it's asymptotic

plain river
#

Bring it to a little over 87.1% dmg resist

twin cloak
#

is different league pommable? I never take it

plain river
#

I think it’s pommable

#

With horrid scaling

neon terrace
plain river
neon terrace
#

and damage has to be a ceiling function anyway, how high would your damage resist need to be such that literally everything in the game will do at most 1 damage, even with HL5, Boiling Blood from EM4 Hades' skull bloodstones, etc?

twin cloak
#

actually things just stop doing damage to you at this point

neon terrace
#

wait seriously? like altogether?

#

if you had a skullstone in you and you just stood in EM4's fire lasers, or directly took his b2b spin attacks, they would do zero damage?

plain river
#

So it is 100% dmg reduction

#

Effectively

plain river
#

turn on HS

#

and stand in magma

#

Magma

twin cloak
#

you wouldn't get hitstunned or anything

plain river
#

Wait does bronze skin even apply to magma

neon terrace
#

which aspects can do above 60 heat (that we know of)? ik rama and zeus have done max heat, can any others do it? ive seen eris and beowulf did 60, can anything else go above that

plain river
#

I think both zag and chaos have gone above because they’re shields

twin cloak
#

rama has never done max heat

#

62 is a far cry from happening much less 64

cunning urchin
tight basin
#

lmao true

tight basin
#

zeus 63 (64 routed)
zag shield 62
chaos 61
hestia, rama, and beo 60

neon terrace
neon terrace
tight basin
#

it's a shield

#

and has good damage

#

i haven't watched it

#

also angel is an insane player

tight basin
#

she has nearly all the high heat records

neon terrace
#

ok I just watched a 60 heat zag shield run, it was artemis attack w/ charged shot. ig the attack & dash strike bonus works on the bull rush too? had some big chaos attack boons

plain river
tight basin
#

the what

plain river
#

Mod game so you can choose more of the same pact
Have dc100+
Have funny “heat record”

tight basin
#

oh lmfao

#

i forgot who did that

neon terrace
# plain river 64 was done routed

do routed runs not count? how do u know if someone claims unseeded/routed but they fixed a seed or something so that they didnt need to do obvious rng manips during the run?

tight basin
#

death before the run has to be recorded for unseeded

plain river
tight basin
#

that's way all speedruns have a starting death

cunning urchin
tight basin
#

ah yeah fair

plain river
#

To prove it’s a new seed

cunning urchin
#

Retrash still has the most unmodded high heat WRs.

#

Not saying AngeL1C couldn't probably get them if she wanted to, but she hasn't.

neon terrace
#

Retrash is the one who did Eris 60 heat but idk if that's unmodded or not

tight basin
#

prob unmodded

#

if it was modded i would've seen his name on the leaderboard

#

there are like 2 other names on modded leaderboard lmao

#

zyruvias for hestia and i think ocaml

#

yeah lmao

#

ocaml on hades and chiron

cunning urchin
#

Retrash's 60 Heat Eris is unmodded but seeded for epic Drunken Strike.

cunning urchin
#

Single dash Rama EM4 is just not happening. tizozzz

tight basin
#

does single dash rama work decently up until that point or is it just suffering all the way through

#

assuming you get 2 good hammers

#

because iirc rama needs them both to do well

cunning urchin
#

Well, anything that's not shield or Hestia suffers everywhere with 1 dash. But you can kinda make it work.

tight basin
#

fair

cunning urchin
#

Elysium can become pretty painful in my own experience.

#

But then again, you can have three dashes and meet sudden death in Elysium on occasion. tizomg

neon terrace
tight basin
#

yeah but like, if you do rng manips it gets sus

#

in a seeded run without rng manips, you can guarantee c1, c2, and maybe c3 rewards

#

but that's about it

#

if you spam summon before entering each room a billion times then yeah it's prob fine because it's consistent

neon terrace
#

yeah ik, i was js is there some way to manipulate seeds without doing obvious stuff like checking the codex ornsummoning over and over

tight basin
#

thing is, if you want to manip a run without it being sus, you can only do it at the very start

#

and it'd be obvious when you do like a random cast or summon but never do it again

#

and like, if you splice the beginning death into a seeded start, it's not really gonna matter too much because you're only keeping the start of the run, which can be reset for tbh

plain river
#

“Yeah I just felt like casting/summoning at that moment and my rng worked out perfectly”

neon terrace
tight basin
#

i mean if you do it at after like tartarus, it's not sus because you haven't been doing anything prior to that and there's no way you would be on the same seed

tight basin
#

which would have to be recorded ofc

neon terrace
tight basin
#

no because when you die the seed is still random

#

seeded means you know what you're gonna get

#

if you keep resetting until you get what you want, that's a different thing

#

you still have no idea what you were gonna get

twin cloak
#

hestia also suffers everywhere with 1 dash fwiw

#

just less so than rama which really likes its dash strike

tight basin
#

also resetting a billion times at the start for what you want is what high heat players do lmao

#

esp unmodded

#

modded too if you need a good rarity

plain river
#

Why route your run when you can do thousands of runs till you perfect rng without manipulating anyways

neon terrace
tight basin
#

ap2

#

rarity

#

also some weapons dont want a hammer start

neon terrace
#

ah true

#

but theyre so good at the game tho do they really need the exact perfect start in order to win?

tight basin
#

just because they're good doesnt mean they can work with that at high heat

#

like zeus starting with a hammer would suck with js3 dc2

#

because you run out of time

#

you dont have much aoe or damage

#

might not even see a zeus boon until c3

#

and you could get shafted by bad enemies all the way through there

plain river
#

When you have JS3, bp2, mm, cp2, dc2, ri4 and td3, you don’t exactly have the option to not take the perfect start

#

Lacking dps will kill you

tight basin
#

just because you're really good at the game doesn't mean you can work with anything the game throws at you

#

angel almost beat 64 heat and was off by 1 second

#

if she got 1 room that was better, whether it be a free room or just better enemies, she would've won

#

also she did need the perfect start because of general dps

#

so much so that she got a mod to force all epic boons as the first boon

#

and used the speedrunning modpack for all the benefits

cunning urchin
neon terrace
twin cloak
#

technically, everything suffers everywhere with 1 dash

#

the second dash is soooo important

#

except shields lol

tight basin
#

i mean it is probably one of the best with 1 dash

#

but like

#

still pain

twin cloak
#

yeah cause it's a quick powerful shot that just comes out

tight basin
#

also common swift strike, which surprisingly mattered

neon terrace
tight basin
#

she

neon terrace
#

it's a woman? mb i heard her speak at the end and thought it was a guy for some reason

tight basin
#

i didnt hear anyone speak lmao

neon terrace
#

might have been a diff vid of hers, i saw a few zag shield high heat clears she did

cunning urchin
tight basin
#

that too

#

she might've timed out without it tho tbh

#

she finished 5 seconds overtime

#

also snappier blocking probably saved her at some point during dad fight

neon terrace
#

damn 91 subs

#

wtf is the yt algo doing

tight basin
#

ngl the only thing that would've made the run stronger would be like higher rarity swift strike and any call that would let her do damage while it's going

#

and higher level ddash obv

cunning urchin
#

Don't evade the swear filter btw. tizomg

plain river
#

Ddash my favourite curse word

hexed summit
#

I saw a popular build for Poseidon sword is Lightning Phalanx, how should I build towards it?

cunning urchin
#

Phalanx Shot > poms on Cast. Look for any core boon from Lord Zeus after that to unlock Lightning Phalanx in their pool. Avoid taking core boons from other gods because that will hurt your odds of finding Lightning Phalanx.

#

But after you have Lightning Phalanx, it's fine to take other cores.

#

Like.. Lady Aphrodite for example for maybe Smoldering Air or Parting Shot. Lady Artemis for maybe Deadly Reversal and Lightning Rod.

raw raven
#

Does the Dash-Strike boost from Artemis Dash buff also increase the damage on the Dash-Upper? Doing a Aspect of Demeter + Explosive Upper run and wondering if it'd synergize.

raw raven
#

yeehaw

valid dagger
#

Lunge from Chaos also boosts it

tight crystal
#

Is there any good build for Gilgamesh other than a Duo boon from Ares and Athina?

valid dagger
#

Or hangover duo hunting

tight crystal
#

I would prefer the build as intense as OG Ares and Athina tho cause

#

NGL i love that build but maaaaaaaaaan i hate that im very unlucky with Ares boons

#

Litterally not making this up

fringe jacinth
#

Whats the deal with the myrmidon bracer? Does it have any use??

tight crystal
#

Ares like a father abondons me after 1 visit

valid dagger
#

Well you wont find a build as strong because Gilgamesh isnt a very good weapon to begin with

valid dagger
tight crystal
#

Yeah thats a problem

#

Still I love Malthons very much

valid dagger
#

Use Dem fists instead

tight basin
valid dagger
#

And run zeus

fringe jacinth
#

Anyway im of the opinion that heart rend is good on literally anything

tight crystal
#

I do tho

somber drum
#

I found Gilgamesh combos well with the Dionysus cast because you can lob the cast, hit them with the special debuff before it lands and slay them while they're in the Festive Fog

valid dagger
#

Heartrend is alright

tight basin
tight crystal
#

Just like more fast and intense combat rather than one shot build

valid dagger
#

Run Zeus

#

And pray for more Zeus and a good Hermes

#

It's a good build just takes quite a bit to get going

#

And scale well into lategame

tight basin
#

Also opportunity for smair

#

With Dio/Zeus call

tight crystal
#

Even though Beowulf Dionysus my top 3 builds

#

Im quite interested whats the most meme build other than dash only builds?

#

*a

tight basin
#

Meme beams

#

Super soaker luci

fringe jacinth
#

My favorite meme build is the athena/demeter duo that restores ur health plus maybe smoldering air, ideal for people who suck at the game

tight basin
#

Stubborn roots don't do anything if you don't get to your last health bar lmao

valid dagger
#

Just smoldering air will get you the same results

tight basin
#

Lmao yeah

iron ether
#

Omg, last night was the first time I'd ever completed a run without a divine aid.

cunning urchin
valid dagger
#

Solid on Chiron too

cunning urchin
#

Yeah.

serene rain
#

I'ma guess best way to farm is to take the +20%, trinket of posseidon and as much chaos boons as possible ?

valid dagger
#

Ideally while sticking to a good build and trying to go fast so you finish as many runs as possible

serene rain
#

i usually go no heat lol

#

usually takes me around...20 minutes to finish a run ?

#

mostly missing
Decor
80 titan blood for weapons
themes
titles

#

done the rest

#

but yea this game is long to grind :/

#

altho chiron bow, zeus shield, nemesis blade, hestia gun, zag's spear and the magnetic gauntlet are so op

valid dagger
#

If you want to try going fast, use FO1/2 and EM2, but yea you'll just have to do a lot of runs to buy everything

serene rain
#

Fo1/2 ? EM2 ?

valid dagger
#

Forced Overtime on the pact, it makes enemies spawn faster but they'll also attack faster so it takes some getting used to

serene rain
valid dagger
#

And Extreme Measures 2 makes the lernie arena smaller so heads are grouped up together and easier to kill fast

serene rain
#

i also use the Sisyphus Companion

#

free jewels

#

i think at some point, i had like...+400-500% more jewels and bloodstone

tight basin
#

Tight deadline to remove survival rooms too

serene rain
#

oh uh

#

yea finishing in under 9 minutes oof

tight basin
#

It's per region

#

So 36 total

#

And time carries over

valid dagger
#

Time pressure will nudge you to go faster

#

Use TD3

#

Highly recommend

tight basin
#

Also get the pos Dio duo exclusive access, you might get lucky enough to get an epic eclipse boon from chaos

#

Not necessary frankly but it is an idea

serene rain
#

i did a run where i got chaos mostly

#

Hades handed my ass over

serene rain
#

so for farming purposes it seemed gilgamesh aspect a bad idea it looked like i was taking much more damage for some reason

#

I watched um...Windette's video about builds

#

bow's build seemed good (and it is) but the shield it felt lacking...

#

OH in terms of the uh

#

mirror upgrade is it better to have the

#

+40% status damage

#

or the more god boons

proper furnace
#

You get your dmg earlier and its only a 15% difference

serene rain
#

but gun

#

i never go for it

proper furnace
#

Yeah if you are doing hangover chiron +40% is best

serene rain
#

yea

proper furnace
#

On others just take the free dmg without going out of your way

serene rain
#

is hangover zeus good or there is a better build for the shield

#

yea true

proper furnace
#

Shield in general or an specific aspect

serene rain
#

i guess in general cus im mostly uses Zeus aspect but it feels lacluster

proper furnace
#

Zeus shield slap zeus special on it

#

Then things like static discharge/double strike/splitting bolt

serene rain
#

oh true since everytime it hits it electrocutes

proper furnace
#

If you get zeus call take aphro atk or smth to open their duo

proper furnace
#

Normal shield you can focus on your atk with charged shot/pulv blow

#

Slap a high % boon and go for it

#

Also zeus shield likes explosive return hammer

#

The explosion does nice dmg and spreads zeus special

serene rain
#

i see

#

so basically Zeus shield take zeus

#

but whenever i am doing a Posseidon run for the farming purposes am i better of taking another fhield

proper furnace
#

Do you have the 4th aspect?

serene rain
#

i have every aspect

proper furnace
#

Beo shield is amazing with pos start

serene rain
#

girlfriend and I farmed a looooooooot for this game

serene rain
proper furnace
#

Flood flare has nice dmg/aoe and is half of mirage shot

#

Which is broken on beo

#

The 2nd flare doesnt have reduced dmg

serene rain
#

oh right i can charge the cast on the shield

proper furnace
#

So just that boon doubles your dmg

serene rain
#

okay

#

i imagine I take the +1.5% damage

proper furnace
#

Yeah +% per god there

serene rain
#

can i ask questions for every weapon ? since i have you rn ?

proper furnace
#

Sure

serene rain
#

all for farming purposes i'll come back at some point for funsies

#

Alright
Sword

proper furnace
#

Tidal dash start, grab any atk

serene rain
#

keep in mind my nemesis blade still isnt fully upgraded :/

proper furnace
#

Hangover can be ok if you wanna open exclusive access, can lack dmg if you dont get something like hyper sprint + rush delivery

#

Otherwise use your usual artemis or something like that on atk

serene rain
#

okay

proper furnace
#

Best hammer is double edge by far, piercing wave, breaching slash are good 2nd choices

#

Build works for basically any non arthur aspects

serene rain
#

so basically tidal dash, any attack,
Hammer : Double edge

#

I hate Arthru anyways it's way too slow

proper furnace
#

Yeah

serene rain
#

okay cool

proper furnace
#

Also you can basically start tidal dash on most weapon

#

Is that good lol

serene rain
#

lol

#

alright next up Spear

valid dagger
#

Start tidal dash take any atk

serene rain
#

note to add don't ask me to take Guan Yu

valid dagger
serene rain
proper furnace
serene rain
#

Shield

proper furnace
#

If doing achilles can do hunting blades if arte-ares show or force one

valid dagger
#

Well not literally any attack, ideally you want Zeus Ares or Dio if it’s not Achilles, if it’s Achilles then arty attack is good too, combined with a solid cast and call

serene rain
#

oh

proper furnace
valid dagger
#

Stuff like low rarity athena dem attack is not great for damage on spear

#

Even high rarity is barely tolerable

#

And avoid Poseidon attack

#

Always

proper furnace
#

Poseidon has an atk?

valid dagger
#

They added it in a recent patch

serene rain
#

okay I see

valid dagger
#

But they’re thinking abbot removing it in the next one

serene rain
#

okay uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

so basically spear

valid dagger
serene rain
#

oh

#

im confused for spear rn

#

any spear, the dash of posseidon, preferably zeus, ares or dio if not achiless

#

for cast and special ?

#

(i mainly use Zag Spear)

tight basin
#

zeus, ares, or dio atk

#

if it's not achilles

serene rain
#

ye

tight basin
#

if the spear isn't achilles, you dont really care what your cast is frankly

serene rain
#

okay cool

valid dagger
#

Special doesn’t matter much if you’re not doing a special focused build

serene rain
#

nice okay

tight basin
#

ideally your cast will lodge so you can make use of boiling blood

serene rain
#

true true

#

and if it shows up on hammer flurry jab

tight basin
#

yeah

serene rain
#

okay good
the bow...I already know how to brake it anyways just slap dyo on special and aphro on attack

tight basin
#

if you get exploding launch, you can focus a bit on your special if you want
if you dont want to do that, then at the very least it's usable lmao

serene rain
#

i use chiron always so

tight basin
#

rama too i guess

serene rain
#

Twin Fists
I use Magnetic mostly

tight basin
#

talos moment

serene rain
#

talos ?

tight basin
#

def an aspect of all time

tight basin
serene rain
#

oh yea

#

it's so good

tawny knoll
tight basin
#

it's

#

an option to say the least

serene rain
#

Gilgamesh also but uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

tight basin
#

gilga unironically worst aspect in the game

serene rain
tight basin
#

for fists?

#

dem easily

serene rain
tight basin
#

well not even that part tbh

serene rain
tight basin
#

even if you got rid of the part of maim were you take more damage

#

it's still bad lmao

serene rain
#

okay i use demeter from now on

tight basin
#

shorter dashes, longer dash cooldowns, slow atks

serene rain
#

okay so for fists since I start with Posseidon for farming purposis

tight basin
#

uh

#

idk how well pos on fists is ngl lmao

serene rain
#

okay i can dodge Posseidon tbf

tight basin
#

oh you can take his cast i guess

serene rain
#

i can take anything as long as i get Chaos behind it

#

so if posseidon sucks i'll just go for getting Chaos

tight basin
#

could do something like, pos cast, ares atk, curse of drowning i guess

#

not the best thing in the world

#

or blizzard shot talos

serene rain
#

ima use demeter since it seems ot be better

tight basin
#

also kinda eh

#

but it exists

tight basin
#

with ares atk most people would rather go for ME

#

and slap on CoD on top of that once they get ME going

#

but otherwise it's kinda mid lmao

serene rain
#

ME ?

tight basin
#

merciful end

serene rain
#

oh yea i know it's op as hell

#

yea tbh i'll just do that build I think at this point

#

okay

#

lastly

#

The Gun

#

I use Hestia and Zag

tight basin
#

if you're farming resources and want to start poseidon, tdash on hestia is the way to go

serene rain
#

oki oki

#

and for attack ?

tight basin
#

aphrodite atk

serene rain
#

in terms of mirror Ima guess everything on the +1.5% except chiron

tight basin
#

or any epic % atk boon you see that isn't poseidon or artemis

proper furnace
tight basin
proper furnace
#

Is 5%

serene rain
serene rain
proper furnace
#

Fair

tight basin
#

family favorites always basically yeah

#

unless chiron

#

and passion beo

serene rain
#

for beo apparently i use the uh

serene rain
proper furnace
#

If its for farm then yeah just start flood

tight basin
#

passion beo is mainly used for high heat anyways so dw about it lmao

serene rain
#

okay cool

tight basin
#

but it's like the only other build that would use pstatus

serene rain
#

i should do a Google Doc to note up eevrything

tight basin
#

for farming, you want to start out with pos no matter what

#

unless it's fists i guess, then you can cry

serene rain
tight basin
#

isnt that like

#

counterintuitive

#

dash only gilga lmao

serene rain
proper furnace
#

You do zap fists with wet dash?

serene rain
#

so lemme get it straight

tight basin
#

hell yeah buddy

proper furnace
#

Amazing comment

serene rain
#

Sword->Tidal Dash->Any Attack->Hammer Double Edge

tight basin

preferably nemesis but yeah

serene rain

em2 td1
em2 td1 fo1
em2 td1 fo2

#

ah

#

fiddlesticks

#

but those pacts basically

#

if you dont know fo, you can either try 1 or just not do it at all

#

em2 makes lernie faster assuming you dont die

serene rain
#

i'll learn

tight basin
#

td1 turns off survival rooms, whcih is a time waste

#

great for igt

#

bad for rta

serene rain
#

Spear->Tidal Dash->any attack-Flury Jab if show up

tight basin
#

not any atk i thought

#

wasn't it zeus, ares, or dio

#
  • arty if achilles
serene rain
#

oh yea

#

spear->Tidal Dash-> Zeus, Ares, Dio (preferably) Arty if Achilles for ATK->Flurry Jab if it shows up

#

that ?

#

yea

tight basin
#

yeah

serene rain
#

Shield Beo->Flood Flare->Arte Atk->Mirage Shot

tight basin
#

Yep

serene rain
#

yea

#

okay

#

Bow

#

Chiron tbh

tight basin

Flood flare damage kinda sucks without mirage ngl
