It takes a bit more circling around enemies.
The hammer is quite important to either boost the attack or special (more bombs mmmh)

guan yu is very bad at level 1 but at level 5 it gets good but risky
you always want the charged skewer hammer

l1 guan yu is the same as l5

it does high enough damage to one shot most of tart and aspho from a safe distance

There's a guide for a recommended Heat progression pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies.

ye i see thx
cunning urchin
Not perfect, naturally, but very reasonable suggestions and avoids all the worst ones.
There's a prophecy for clearing a run with each pact (not all at once), that's good to aim for when you're still at low Heat to try to experiment with all the different pacts and see what they do.
Gives a lot of Titan Blood.

In general, what's the best hammers for hestia gun?
plain river
In general, what's the best hammers for hestia gun?
Rocket bomb -> cluster bomb or triple bomb
Ricochet Fire / Explosive Fire/ Piercing Fire all give your attack a level of aoe.
Targetting system if all else fails
I went top to bottom in terms of usefulness
And you forgot hazard bomb
And seeking fire
And delta chamber
Rail has a lot of hammers
It’s 7/12 of the rail hammers
If you see a hammer with 3 of the rest then just cope ig
rose pelican
Is there a niche where cold heart shines?
plain river
Cold Embrace, aphrodite + demeter duo? Not really
tight basin
the niche is like with fists when you're on top of them lmao
but also youd never go for it
because in theory it sounds good but in practice probably not really
rose pelican
Yeah i tried once fist cold heart to test
Too much of a hassle, focusing on position
plain river
It’d be more worth it to just sell it for obols and get boiling blood back tbh
gusty rapids
tbh most hammers help hestia
tight basin
if you want a cast duo with fists, curse of drowning is probably better
gusty rapids
it’s very hammer resistant
tight basin
rail doesn't really have any hurtful hammers does it
except like, hazard on eris
spread fire is just neutral on hestia
plain river
Oh actually I forgot to mention delta chamber would be good because iframes
Only 4/12 hammers are cope picks on hestia
tight basin
Oh actually I forgot to mention delta chamber would be good because iframes
that doesnt work on empowered shot btw
plain river
Oh it doesn’t?
tight basin
no
plain river
Still better then the 4 cope picks though
rose pelican
if you want a cast duo with fists, curse of drowning is probably better
I love that one, last run just used that
cloud minnow
uh
is hestia aspect bad or something
i feel like my damage is really underwhelming
it's taking me forever to get through fights even with epic aphro attac
tight basin
what level is your hestia
plain river
is hestia aspect bad or something
No
tight basin
because with epic aphrodite attack and enough poms, at most you'll 3 shot unarmored enemies in elyisum
also are you actually using the empowered shot
plain river
You gotta manually reload for the shot
cloud minnow
I'm manually reloading every shot
tight basin
what level hestia then
cloud minnow
and it's level 2
plain river
What level is the hestia
tight basin
okay yeah that's the issue
plain river
and it's level 2
You’re doing like half the damage that max level is then
cloud minnow
ah.
tight basin
75 per shot isn't bad since it's basically a cshot but it doesn't pierce and is much slower

cshot?

Just take dash.

explosive fire is still a cope pick on hestia honestly

I tried extra bosses mechanics for a while but I think now I’m back to extra monsters per encounter
I feel like I’m just not getting damage. It’s like easy clear then I get to hades and the fight just takes forever and I wind up dying
Maybe my mirror skills are messed up. Haven’t really done much googling on best setups or anything.

I have the sword one unlocked but I haven’t had enough blood to afford it yet. But did the quest

After clearing boss yoy already cleared, it’s a ton of HP
But I guess bosses are getting easier that I already cleared…
hexed summit
I mean, EM1 just adds some extra boss mechanics for the first boss that you need to dodge. If EM1 is a bit of trouble, you can just go for Tight deadline 1, there is zero difference in gameplay, and 9 minutes per biome is very easy, if your previous 0 heat runs are under 36 minutes you won't even notice it

I think the issue with Styx is there is almost no way to gain darkness in Styx. Even in Elysium you can get darkness treasure chest or Charon shop that sells darkness that you can double as a heal

By the way, for the mirror guide, I personally recommend Golden Touch if you are just going through low heat. With golden touch I was almost consistently able to buy the blood or diamond in the last shop, netting 0.5 or 1 extra blood per run for faster weapon unlocks.
But if you are having trouble clearing the runs, Deep pockets all the way
For early weapon unlocks, I personally recommend a few one point wonders that are easy to use and low cost Zag weapons that are good
Zeus shield rank 1, Nemesis sword rank 1, Put 5 total into spear to reveal Guan Yu (I recommend Achilles rank 3), Zag bow rank 5, Chiron bow rank 1~2(rank 1 chiron is still good for hangover build imo), Eris rail rank 1~2 and Zag fist rank 5
True but for new players it's kinda difficult to use Hera well imo. Also, I only used low rank Chiron for hangover builds

Is doom on special and attack pointless?

Shadow or Fiery Presence on Zeus Shield?
I always take Shadow for every weapon but since the Special cant backstab I feel like Fiery might be worth it
neon terrace
yeah that's what ive been doing
i just always question myself whether id want the backstab on bull rushes for bosses though
also idk if the explosion on explosive return can backstab
rose pelican
Yeah
Backstab MAY trigger every now and then, but actually going for it is a lot of extra micro management you don't need
Meanwhile fiery you know it always procs, and is always helpful, specially in Tartarus
And you can forget about it and focus
Kinds like status vs favourite
tight basin
except that pstatus you actually have to force, otherwise it's a useless talent
you dont exactly have to try and get a backstab in combat unless you're pressed for time and need the bonus damage
or to hit certain break points

Shadow if you take DC2. Otherwise Fiery.

question, what happened to the monthly challenges?
I had a few more ideas that were narratively fun but the gameplay of the challenge wasn't really fun, so I kept tweaking for awhile but it just didn't really work. Then I got sick for awhile. And at the same time during all that, my interest in the game faded early last year and I didn't pick up the game again until very recently.

id be willing to pick it up if you're okay with it and if im like. allowed to do that?

Shadow if you take DC2. Otherwise Fiery.
If you take DC 1 as well

Not that you'd want DC, but eventually there's not a lot of great other options.

That attack damage on Beowulf does a lot of work still.
twin cloak
it's 160 damage with casts loaded

it's some high amount of damage with casts loaded
cunning urchin
220 with just Charged Shot + Fiery + bloodstones loaded.
With no Attack boon.
540 on armor if you also get Breaching Rush. Still with no boons.

Not that you would use HC in a context where you might consider DC.

Hestia is probably your strongest option
Guan Yu is a solid pick aswell but needs Charged Skewer to get going
You can start with a strong Attack like Aphro and just play safe, or you can start Tidal Dash if you're into that playstyle but it incentivizes dashing into enemies more often

Zeus aid -> smouldering air -> 600 zeus support boons

K yeah I was figuring smair

Tbf that’s more then what artemis strike has after picking her up for zag shield
and is also just good
cunning urchin
Best start for DPS imo is Tidal Dash.
plain river
Sounds about right
muted sun
Makes sense to me
cunning urchin
That's for DPS over the whole run anyway. Tidal Dash makes your exit time in Tartarus a lot more consistent.
Which helps a lot.
And your Styx problems are already solved.
muted sun
Yeah Ik tidal dash is great for tartarus
cunning urchin
Safest build that has still excellent DPS imo is Heartbreak Strike > Zeus' Aid > Smair.

you dont really need to use the special but you need it for the prerequisite, mhm

Best build I can think of is a lightning phalanx build on something like achilles, and thats a zeus and athena build
Or merciful end
But lightning phalanx is more fun. Thats my absolute favorite achilles build
Im trying to think of anything else for athena centric builds but I got nothing
Shes mainly more of a defensive goddess, more for keeping you alive similar to like demeter. At least thats how I view it
Maybe she has a really good duo Im forgetting that makes a build, idk

2nd beo 32 heat attempt i just died to dad like halfaay through his 2nd phase, im literally better with guan yu than this weapon 😭)

i ddidnt have cshot in either run, but i got sudden rush
no like i dragon rush and he telegraphs his spin attack but when i try to dash away i still get hit
that's exactly what im saying, 32 heat is normally pretty easy but with beo for some reason it's rough for me
i had a great build too, apart from common flood flare but i had a lot of poms on it so it became good, like 160 damage
mirage yes, RD no

I don't think so.
If it's just Impending Doom and/or Quick Recovery maybe.

Divine Dash unlocks Last Stand and Deathless Stand in her pool, too. So if you have that, you can just hope to get either one of those.
They each replenish a DD.

so I've got a choice of Curse of Agony Level 2 to 4, Divine Dash Level 1 to 3 and Blinding Flash Level 1 to 3, I think Blinding Flash or Divine Dash is my best bet?

Poison only lasts whilst in combat though, so sometimes if you can finish the encounter it's faster than getting to a cure

what abt Blinding Flash?
lucid oar
Poms don’t do much

is basically the same as exploding launcher but 5 dmg weaker

Particularly when using phalanx shot since the huge hitbox can make it back stab...
On Hera, Phalanx Shot basically spawns behind the enemy, so you get a backstab.
Not behind, but right in the back of the enemy.

The Special is what makes Guan Yu very strong, you’re looking for the Charged Skewer hammer to make it stronger and then you can just add a +% Special boon and you’re basically set, you can also do Merciful End

Lightning Phalanx and Crystal Clarity are pretty good, Deadly Reversal is a solid boon but generally not the focus of a build. Sea storm and Cold Fusion are situationally good, also not the main focus of a build. Vengeful Mood even more situational, it’s kinda mid at best.
ashen shoal
ty!
valid dagger
You can do Lightning Phalanx and Crystal Clarity on Achilles, since they’re Cast builds the +150% is very strong on them. Poseidon is a good second option, moreso for Lightning Phalanx because your Casts lodge into enemies but both builds still work

On Hera, Phalanx Shot basically spawns behind the enemy, so you get a backstab. ...

Either crit or tick damage.
If you can get +4 shots on special and consecutive damage from hammer
With add-on support fire
You get big damage with artemis special

% specials on chiron need concentrated volley to be good
dio is just more consistent and doesn't need conc volley
just poms
but getting it to lvl 5+ shouldn't be difficult

dio special is the best for rama too (at least by itself, ofc if u get the right supplementary boons zeus can be better, just like with their calls)

is chiron bow better with Dionysus special or artemis special
the best for chiron imo would be a low tolerance build, aphro attack and dio special. on chiron's special idk if all the arrows together count as one attack or if each arrow kndividually counts as a separate attack. in the former case, heart rend can be amazing with artemis special, in the latter i'd just stick with low tolerance. maybe splitting headache could be good too if you have pressure points though

I have been enjoying playing with Chiron bow. Probably my go to weapon aspect right now. I know how crazy good it is with Dio on the special. Is there a boon that doesn’t work well with Chiron special or all the boon are viable?
plain river
All the +%’s cry if you don’t find concentrated volley, and curse of pain is on chiron special, and zeus special has internal cooldowns so only really shoots off 1 or 2 bolts (more with double strike) per special
Dio is the only consistent one
The +% work well but only if you find concentrated volley
