half crater
#

as you’re more than halfway

#

none of us peasants do it tho lol

hearty elbow
#

Lol, yeah, but it's practical around 50 because that point you get to pick your poison from the "no no" pacts

#

TD3, AP2, EM4, RI3 etc.

half crater
#

RI3 is nono

#

RI4 just doesn’t exist i guess

hearty elbow
#

RI4 is a game mode lol

#

It's not a real pact

#

2 heat is a joke

half crater
#

lol fair

cunning urchin
#

RI4 is fun.

#

Cowards.

half crater
#

by itself, sure

#

it’s new save clear, except easier

silk anvil
#

Ri4, playing the game as base zag? thanthink

cunning urchin
#

No no. RI4 high heat. dusa

half crater
#

hmm thanthink

silk anvil
#

@cunning urchin pls

cunning urchin
#

I go for Smoldering Air on Varatha, Aegis, Coronacht, Exagryph.

hearty elbow
#

[Malphon, and Stygius]

cunning urchin
#

No, I just go full Deflect on those two lol.

#

Well.

#

Hmm.

#

On Excalibur, I go for Smoldering Air.

silk anvil
#

Do you force Zeus and Aphro then, just to make it easier on yourself? I forgot to force Zeus until satyr tunnels like a fool, and only got one lil' ol boon from him

cunning urchin
#

rofl

solid cairn
#

smoldering air gets kinda boring

silk anvil
#

I was too 🧂y from the game not giving me synergistic gods that I forgot what I was aiming for in the first place

half crater
#

nothing is boring with enough heat

hearty elbow
#

You don't really have to "force" Aphro, she's kind of amazing by herself. Well... Strike and Flourish are amazing. She definitely has like... probably some of the lowest boon quality outside of the core offensive ones.

silk anvil
#

also gotta drag up those trinkets that I never use

solid cairn
#

her call is good

#

wait thats an offensive one

hearty elbow
#

Her call is serviceable with Smoldering Air

solid cairn
#

legendary is okay

hearty elbow
#

Amazing vs. bosses, okay against normal packs

solid cairn
#

ok her legendary is a little more than just okay

#

it makes the final boss not exist

cunning urchin
#

Excalibur, Varatha, Aegis, Coronacht, Hestia:
Eternal Rose > Thunder Signet/Owl Pendant > whatever > Acorn

Eris:
Thunder Signet > Eternal Rose/Owl Pendant > whatever > Acorn

silk anvil
#

I enjoy aphro's cast as it's the most consistent stand-alone damage out of all of them for me; but jury is still out on efficacy of her damage reduction stuffs

And the quality of charming enemies is always funny. Is her ultimate guaranteed charm? I cannot recall

hearty elbow
#

Aphro cast, you're definitely doing a cast build, so that's its own thing

cunning urchin
#

Stygius, Malphon:
Owl Pendant > Arrowhead/Coin Purse/Acorn > Acorn > Acorn

hearty elbow
#

Aphro's Aid is a scaling duration single target charm, Greater call is always 2500 damage

silk anvil
#

Gotcha, and you have to get that one boon to turn any instance of heartbreak damage into a chance for charm too?

solid cairn
#

Sword nuts a lot

hearty elbow
#

Nah, Smoldering AIr is a lot easier to get

#

And the end result is the same

cunning urchin
#

That's usually the goal. But it varies with what I get in Tartarus.

hearty elbow
#

Well, "the same," but Unhealthy Fixation works badly on slow hitting weapons

#

And it's not deterministic

cunning urchin
#

You don't have to get anything but Heartbreak Strike/Flourish or, for Eris, Lightning Strike.

thorny basin
#

i love the aphro call. max gauge CHUNKS

cunning urchin
#

Anything after that is extra.

hearty elbow
#

e.g. I'm not going to look Dad in the eye when he's spinning at me just because i haven't gotten a Fixation proc in a while

#

But I totally will with Aphro's Aid

#

SCREW YOU DAD

#

Lol, the 2500 is a consolation prize for not using it the whole fight

cunning urchin
#

I use the Greater Call when I haven't put poms on it because the Charm duration is so short otherwise.

#

Unless I have Smoldering Air.

thorny basin
#

ive had it hit for 4k

cunning urchin
#

Which I probably do have.

silk anvil
#

Yeah I was going to say; smoldering air with aphro call is what, guaranteed [halt] (albeit very temporary) in the proceedings, but you're never gonna get the damage; whereas zeus call is guaranteed chip damage but it's up to you to dodge

hearty elbow
#

But like... I've had individual attacks hit for 4k before too lol, and the Charm lets, for example, Excalibur do its thing freely

silk anvil
#

Because relying on 15% weak apps to stun is a bit bonkers and only works with fast hitting weapons

hearty elbow
#

Aphro's Aid is nuts because they don't resume the attack after they fall out of the Charm, they walk around a bit then do another starting animation

solid cairn
#

I’m just gonna attempt 32 heat for the hell of it

hearty elbow
#

Which by that time you probably have another Charm up with Smoldering Air

cunning urchin
#

You get free i-frames every 5 seconds either way lol.

silk anvil
#

Maybe with that hermes buff @cunning urchin

hearty elbow
#

The good ol' Artemis' Call + Smoldering Air combo

cunning urchin
#

No.

#

Call activation gives i-frames.

hearty elbow
#

iframe generator

silk anvil
#

Does it now? Surely cant be more than a crumb of i-frame

hearty elbow
#

If there is anything that proves Smoldering Air is busted, it's that we're rolling our eyes and saying that free invincibility every 5 seconds isn't worth your time to get

#

It's a dash's worth

#

basically

cunning urchin
#

Nah, it's quite a lot of i-frames. Probably more than Dash i-frames? At least around as much, anyway.

hearty elbow
#

You can also buffer dash + call

#

For hairy stuff like making sure you don't get rekt by Asterius spin if you get caught in the middle

silk anvil
#

also
I rescind everything I've said previous about Thesaurus and Austerity fight. I realized I'm taking more hits because my man's arm-cannons now shoot across the length of the entire arena, and he makes a more conceited effort to drive towards me as opposed to kinda doing wheelies off in the corner as Asterius and I duke it out

hearty elbow
#

conceited effort
@silk anvil You meant "concerted" effort but this was very appropriate considering Theseus lol.

silk anvil
#

That's the word, aye @hearty elbow

hearty elbow
#

You're not wrong though, he makes a lot of conceited efforts

silk anvil
#

But given that its Theseus, I stand by conceited

hearty elbow
#

He has a gloat phase

#

So sick

silk anvil
#

Hes basically a WWE fighter, he knows how to cater to the crowd

thankfully our trusty faithful shade will always have our backs <3

cunning urchin
#

Where was the shade when I did at 56 Heat, huh?

#

Didn't have my back. squirtooh

silk anvil
#

Stepped out for a quick bathroom break is my guess; or had to go get some red-colored soda to stay hydrated in single-handedly cheering louder than all the other shades combined @cunning urchin

#

Ultimately, what I'm trying to say is, they were there in spirit

cunning urchin
#

Yeah, you know who was also there in spirit?

#

Not Zagreus because his spirit left his body when he died. squirtooh

#

Why is a cow shooting a crying shade?

gilded nymph
#

what is the generic chrion aspect build?

#

just aphro/artemis special

#

and hammers?

cunning urchin
#

Heartbreak Strike, Deadly Flourish, Heart Rend.

#

Vice versa works, too.

#

Hammers just basically anything for Special.

gilded nymph
#

ok thanks

stuck bobcat
#

Any quick ideas for noob faceroll build with low blood investment for aspects? xD
Facerolling with Lightining Cloud Hera Bow starts to get boooooring (10 runs in row -.-')

cunning urchin
#

You could do the same with Poseidon Aspect. zaglol

#

Variety!

gritty plover
#

how noob are we talking about?

silk anvil
#

Face rolling eh? This is a new term to me

gritty plover
#

i run ||guan yu with quick spin and athena attack||

#

cheesy as heck

limber flax
#

spoilers are allowed here btw

#

thats what it says above anyways

gritty plover
#

yep, but i tagged it as spoiler anyways, he said he was new

limber flax
#

ah k

#

im new too but i dont care at all about spoilers

#

more or less new

dark quail
#

What's the best build for farming darkness and gems?

limber flax
#

take the darkness weapon?

#

and profit?

silk anvil
#

-Darkness weapon
-Poseidon's bounty >:c

play the rest of the game as you want

limber flax
#

ah yea that

silk anvil
#

Ty for reminding me about the darkness weapon @limber flax

hazy slate
#

Also chaos boons that boos darkness

#

Boost

thorny basin
#

ok yea i still dont like the guan Xp

limber flax
#

i should probably just always play the darknewss/gem weapon

#

since i like all weapons

#

🍴

thorny basin
#

the spin feels too slow to go off, and the healing so minimal

silk anvil
#

@thorny basin you need hammer upgrades to increase spin charge speed; otherwise, the real power of GY is in the special spam

#

Wait... I can never remember... but I think Hermes attack speed also boosts spin charge speed ?

gritty plover
#

trust me, gy + quick spin + massive spin

#

i don't think it helps charge speed, but it helps the damage ticks in the spin

thorny basin
#

yea ive been going for hammers whenever i see them but i have had 0 luck

unkempt zephyr
#

its hard to take. 12 hammer ups. in best situation you can see only 6 from 12.

silk anvil
#

Ah, so you still get some heal benefits from it

gilded nymph
#

i wish you could reroll hammers

#

:/

silk anvil
#

There werent always 12 hammer upgrades for spear, was there?

#

Like, I swear I'd never seen the "longer flight" for the spear spin before

cunning urchin
#

That's a Guan Yu exclusive.

limber flax
#

on what weapon are hammer upgrades most essential and on what weapon the least

thorny basin
#

and i died to some stunlocking skeletons in apshodel that stunlocked me on top of lava

#

<.<

cunning urchin
#

Hammers don't really matter on Poseidon Aspect, and not as much on Hera.

limber flax
#

uh what weapon was poseidon aspect

#

sword?

cunning urchin
#

Yes.

limber flax
#

its confusing to me that first aspect is always zagreus and the rest of the names are unique

unkempt zephyr
#

There werent always 12 hammer upgrades for spear, was there?
@silk anvil My mistake. its 9 hammer ups for GY. you can see in best situation 6. and Winged Serpent have better chance to be.becaus Exclusive.

limber flax
#

does every weapon have same amount of hammer upgrades

#

and do aspects have unique hammer upgrades

unkempt zephyr
#

nope. some of hammers ups Incompatible with to aspects.

solid cairn
#

well I almost beat 32 heat it was way easier than I thought

limber flax
#

just dont get hit

silk anvil
#

@limber flax Petition to rename them to the following:
-speed zag
-special zag
-meh zag
-wacky weird zag

limber flax

🤔

I am not used to that version of the fight at all

So legit, playing hades in spare time noice

I wish I trusted myself to be any good at the switch version of the game thanthink

That spin catches me off guard I keep thinking it’s gonna end before it does

cunning urchin

What's spare time? squirtooh

gilded nymph
#

hades spin?

silk anvil
#

@cunning urchin special hermes boon some people manage to get, I hear

gilded nymph
#

just go in a 0 heat run with arthur and really high hp and damage reduction

#

and practice dodging hades

solid cairn
#

Also I could only get common attack speed

Hangover chaos shield is lit

Low tolerance, curse of nausea

Best way to practice the Hades fight is to backup your temp save when you enter the fight.

@cunning urchin i wana kiss you for this and Hug realy.jesus. so simple

solid cairn
#

It feels like a more complete fight

gritty plover
#

the dialogue for the first time is stellar

cunning urchin
#

Then overwrite the perma save in slot 2 or whatever with the temp save. Load that save. If you die in the fight, just "Give Up", then when you load the save, you can do the fight again.

onyx parcel
#

I’ve won 2 runs out of my 5 or maybe 6 attempts at EM4

#

After I do arthur 32 heat I may try guan yu

onyx parcel

Guan yu so bad

gritty plover
#

guan yu essentially makes you immortal

onyx parcel
#

I hate it

solid cairn
#

Guan yu so bad
Blasphemy

#

The regen isn’t even the good part

cunning urchin
#

@unkempt zephyr that's how I practiced the fight for 3+ hours every day before I tried (and won) 52 Heat.

solid cairn
#

You basically start with explosive launcher

cunning urchin
#

You can do the same thing with other boss fights.

unkempt zephyr
#

i just do full runs to practice befor.

cunning urchin
#

Ideally, you want to do it with a weak build.

onyx parcel
#

I never understand what’s so good about guan yu

solid cairn
#

The special

dark quail
#

Arthur is the most fun weapon so far, the swings are just satisfying

cunning urchin
#

That way, you'll be ready even when you don't have a good build.

solid cairn
#

The spin

onyx parcel
#

The hp reduction is...

#

Very bad

unkempt zephyr
solid cairn
#

The amount of safety you have with Athena attack

onyx parcel
#

Do y’all just not attack with guan yu?

cunning urchin
#

The Special and the Dash-Strike base damage. Spin is secondary.

onyx parcel
#

It’s so slow

solid cairn

The attack is bad

thorny basin
#

is it just me or do all the posidon knockback boons suck?

onyx parcel
#

Dash strike on guan yu does how much?

#

is it just me or do all the posidon knockback boons suck?
@thorny basin I hate taking Poseidon boons

#

Unless in specific builds and weapons

#

Like Chiron sea storm

solid cairn
#

Poseidon has the best call in the game

onyx parcel
#

I curse the gods whenever I see Poseidon in my runs

unkempt zephyr
#

is it just me or do all the posidon knockback boons suck?
@thorny basin They insane.With slam boons (insane base damage and insane scaling)

dark quail
#

So chaos boon and poseidon boon are the way to go for farming darkness and gems?

solid cairn
#

Poseidon’s cast is amazing too. Has a lot of duo boons

#

Blizzard shot, curse of drowning

cunning urchin
#

Tempest Flourish is actually really good. Second-highest +% special.

onyx parcel
#

So chaos boon and poseidon boon are the way to go for farming darkness and gems?
@dark quail ur best bet at doing that is just probably playing weapons with dark thirst

cunning urchin
#

Tidal Dash is a build in itself.

solid cairn
#

And it also has huge aoe while also sticking into enemies so poseidon sword works really well with it

#

And you get a head start on mirage shot

onyx parcel
#

Poseidon bad

#

Don’t care

silk anvil
#

@cunning urchin I watched most of that 32 tidal dash run and can only say they got mighty lucky with those dodges 👀

cunning urchin

There are two 32 Heat clears with Tidal Dash only already lol.

#

In 1.0.

unkempt zephyr
#

@cunning urchin claws and reflex?

onyx parcel
#

Didn’t haelian do one

solid cairn
#

Eris uses tidal dash sea storm in the any heat WR

#

So does poseidon sword speedruns

#

It’s still good in standard runs

cunning urchin
#

I had Tidal Dash for 52, too.

solid cairn
#

Though you have to give up Athena dash

silk anvil
#

Poseidon sword uses tidal dash? thanthink
I can't imagine why, considering you wont knock your cats out if everyone keeps flying away from you ;-;

solid cairn
#

Just chase

cunning urchin
#

They'll drop their casts if they're dead lol.

solid cairn

^

#

Although idk if I would recommend that on poseidon sword in a non speedrun situation

cunning urchin
#

@unkempt zephyr most recent was with Fists 4. I don't know their mirror setup.

solid cairn
#

I wish there was a well item that gave you increased attack speed for a certain amount of encounters

it feels so bad to take a common boon over 2 duo boons

unkempt zephyr

@unkempt zephyr most recent was with Fists 4. I don't know their mirror setup.
@cunning urchin 4th one have base 3 dashes. form my opinion the must have Ruthless Reflex in mirror. i can not find any reason to do not take it.

gilded nymph
#

this guan yu build is so crazy

#

430 damage per special

solid cairn
#

this guy gets it

#

but it can go higher

#

you got charged skewer?

gilded nymph
#

then the special ruptures, jolts, chains lightning, knockbacks

#

yup

#

I have charged skewer and bonus damage against armor

solid cairn
#

why zeus special

gilded nymph
#

pos special

#

zeus attack

solid cairn
#

oh lol

gilded nymph
#

then just duos and boons

#

I got the duo boon with pos and zeus

solid cairn
#

I saw poseidon GY on a haelian vid a while ago

silk anvil
#

Special chains lightning? Bruh what? Or saying the thunderbolt on it?

gilded nymph
#

I have the duo boon sea storm

silk anvil
#

Yeah sounds pretty sick nasty. Probably smarter than just going for art crit on special

gilded nymph
#

so I chuck a spear, it jolts, ruptures, procs priveleged status, knockbacks

solid cairn
#

Yeah sounds pretty sick nasty. Probably smarter than just going for art crit on special
not really

#

it requires far more investment

#

but it does work

silk anvil
#

Shh, I'm still mad that my artemis GY didnt pan out because daed never game me charged throw @solid cairn

unkempt zephyr
#

for zeus can deal good AoE you wana High Voltage.if you play sea storm with poseidon same situation. but better to have Poseidon second wave than Zeus legendary. becaus its not small ball of ligthing go. its triger sea storm again.and triger all slam boons again.

silk anvil
#

Even if I have to build more into it, its essentially guaranteed rather than relying on RNGesus

gilded nymph
#

HOLY

#

I got second wave

solid cairn
#

wait

#

deadly reversal on GY

#

you take athena attack so the spin deflects, which is already great on its own

#

then artemis special

#

so you have prereq for DR

gilded nymph
#

why use gy with that

solid cairn
#

wdym

gilded nymph
#

just use other spears

solid cairn
#

spin with athena is busted

#

uhh no GY special is way better

gilded nymph
#

is it?

#

I've never tried GY spin builds

solid cairn
#

let me explain

#

so athena on spin basically makes the entire hitbox of the spin deflect

#

so you can hide behind it for example

unkempt zephyr
#

so athena on spin basically makes the entire hitbox of the spin deflect
@solid cairn like athena zeus shield special.

solid cairn
#

if you get deadly reversal, you can hit them with the athena spin for increased crit on your special

#

and you can alternatively get athena dash so you don't even have to spin

#

it's pretty great

#

if you want even more power you can grab aphro cast or something and heart rend

thorny basin
#

ok aphro on attack feels lowkey broken

solid cairn
#

ok now I want to try deadly reversal + heart rend guan yu

I dont really get how im meant to do well with a Dionysus run

#

hangover even at epic with a fairly high rank just doesnt really seem to bring enough damage?

gilded nymph
#

you haven't done a cast build with dio then

#

the point of dio is bonus damage + the bonus effects he has with festive fog

forest scaffold
#

nah i wanted to do an attack build with him, i generally dont enjoy cast builds that much

#

also I've not been offered a ffestive fog at any point this run

gilded nymph

then try eris aspect with dio

im currently using the exogryph in its basic form fully upgrade

unkempt zephyr

yeah i've gotten a fair few - its epic level 5 at the moment - but it doesnt really seem to kill things quick enough, and the hangover falls off so fast :/ if I could get teh one that spreads it it may be less painful but so far this isnt a fun run

unkempt zephyr

for spreed you need hammer(AoE attack) or (piersing enemy and +50% armor upgrade). Or special boon called Peer Pressure

With the chaos shield, does the hammer upgrade to explode on catching work for all the shields or just one? The graphic is gone so quick I honestly can't tell

unkempt zephyr

and for non cast weapon pref Stygian soul. to do not go in danger place.Be more handle.have opportunity to have second debuff from cast to Privileged Status. becaus status 4 sec.CD on SS only 3 second for cast.

gilded nymph
#

getting 2 hammers and no bonus arrows for chiron makes me sad

hearty elbow
#

I used to do that @unkempt zephyr, for a long time, with non-cast builds, but I started using Infernal more, just because it's a lot smoother to play to always have a cast up if you're chaining enemies. Also in case you get Lightning Rod or Ravenous Will, Infernal Soul is a lot better

#

I think the big difference for me was with Phalanx Shot, so I could reliably have it up to deflect multiple projectiles.

#

Or to approach melee enemies safely

#

Yeah, it's definitely a preference, but they return to you eventually, and it's not too bad to pick them up incidentally.

But especially with melee your target dies and it's very easy to pick it up from there.

unkempt zephyr
#

yup. but for me its dif.becaus i dancing around to do not take damage.i kill enemy in max range of my melee weapon and switching time to time to another target if danger comes around my main target.

Yeah, I don't see much of a difference either way. The positive interactions with Lightning Rod and Ravenous Will were enough for me though.

Epic Sure Footing is phenomenal in Styx

When modifier on traps is enabled... though it is disabled for now.

unkempt zephyr
#

i probably dont go in High heat Em4 with out Sure footing 🤣

hearty elbow
#

With Heightened Security it makes Dad's urns do 15 damage. Also the styx traps are a bit easier to accidentally bump into than the other biomes

mighty ermine
#

yeah, sure footing is worth it alone for HS dad urns if you don't need anything else super badly

hearty elbow
#

Sure Footing kind of counter intuitively applies multiplicatively lol, it would exceptionally bad if it was additive to the HS bonus lmao

mighty ermine

lol yeah, i used to never take it because i assumed it wouldn't make any dent in HS

Only one good reason to take them, get Heroic boon & protect this slot from further exchanges.

wow dusa companion does a ton of damage

hearty elbow
#

Yeah they buffed her a lot in 1.0, duration +15 seconds I think

thorny basin
#

30 seconds, 70 damage per bolt shooting 5 or 6 at a time

hearty elbow
#

Well, her pattern varies

#

To be fair

#

And it's very bad against terrain

thorny basin
#

yea but still

hearty elbow
#

You take Dusa for her stuns, but the damage is nicer now. I like her against EM2, she makes the last phase extremely smooth

I might start looking into using Infernal Soul over Stygian Soul just for the potential when I run into an accidental cast build.

I might start looking into using Infernal Soul over Stygian Soul just for the potential when I run into an accidental cast build.
@cunning urchin I do this fairly frequently on Eris lol. If I have a value Flood Shot and get epic Rupture I'm like "I guess this is my life now"

thorny basin
#

which keepsake should i level next? wish i could send a picture here to make it easier

cunning urchin
#

Stygian cast builds are kinda bad without extra ammo.

#

@thorny basin all of them.

hearty elbow
#

Lol, that question is very hard to answer XD

thorny basin
#

i know Xp

cunning urchin
#

Just pick whichever.

thorny basin
#

ive got all of the god boon selection keepsakes done except demeter

cunning urchin
#

You'll get important experience with all the keepsakes that way.

hearty elbow
#

The highest priorities are Acorn > God Keepsakes > Coinpurse > Bone Hourglass > Broken Spearpoint

thorny basin
#

im prolly gonna get exiled for this, but i dont see the appear for the acorn

#

except for redacted most of them use lots of small hits

hearty elbow
#

Coinpurse might be higher actually, since the major appeal of the God keepsakes is guaranteeing the God, not the rarity buff

thorny basin
#

appeal*

hearty elbow
#

Compare Lucky Tooth to Acorn. Lucky Tooth is a little more than 100 health (since you can count the overkill damage on your last DD). With no Hard Labor, Dad's spins do 40 I think? 80 with his Boiling Blood? So assuming that you tank only 2 of the spins and 3 nonsense hits, you've probably already done better value than Lucky Tooth

#

With no Hard Labor. Once you take that pact it's WAY better

#

Than any other defensive option

thorny basin
#

meant for everyone excvept redacted

main osprey
#

the advantage that lucky tooth has is similar to the SD vs DD thing--where do you tend to choke? during a boss fight, or over time?

hearty elbow
#

Oh, I mean, for EM3, Asterius hits like a truck, it's often difficult to dodge his charges reactively with FO2, so you can just get hit and it's all good in the hood

#

One hit and it's enough value, even if the other 4 hits are Theseus bullets

thorny basin
#

fair

main osprey
#

I'll frequently take the Spearpoint into Styx, because I'm more worried about being drained by poison than I am getting hit by Redacted

hearty elbow
#

The one exception is if you enter a biome with 0 DDs and some health lost, you may want to take Lucky Tooth to make sure you even have a shot at the boss

#

Can someone explain what makes Demeter fists the best? 12 attacks seem like a lot

hearty elbow
#

It's not. And you get a delete button for thicker or problematic enemies

thorny basin
#

not really

brisk island
#

shadedisgruntled ugh aspect of beowulf still slow af uncompetent shield with cool design.

main osprey
#

12 attacks is a few seconds, depending on your playstyle

hearty elbow
#

The upside becomes insane if you get Explosive Upper, in which case your delete button becomes a local uninstall for enemies around you.

#

Crit is calculated per hit on enemy, so Deadly Flourish has extremely consistent damage with the Demeter proc too. Doubly moreso with Explosive Upper

jade rover
#

For Hades aspect, would you take Divine strike or Flourish?

#

I'm thinking flourish for backstab on return? Don't really play much spear

Is there a channel for hades gifs?

Like seeing insane damage or some cool stuff like that

From level 3 onwards I’d say Demeter is stronger than Gilgamesh or Talos

id give demeter a try after my arthur run

what special should i go for?

Would you agree that Talos is better than Demeter out of the box?

Go for Athena special, Ares attack and do an ME build

ME?

With Athena dash

Merciful End

I find that being able to draw my opponents in for a Heartbreak Uppercut from across the field, and also enhance further damage to them, is strong.

@jagged roost someone here put me on an OP Arthur build Athena attack is amazing with the aura as it slows down all attacks and your attack deflects them all back you get to play baseball lol and then art on special to get deadly reversal which basically makes all your attacks crit

Yeah he’s a cool character

I have a fun build for every weapon but the shield, Anyone have suggestions? (Other than Chaos aspect)

plain violet
#

zeus shield is kinda memey/hilarious

#

especially if you put athena attack on the special

civic needle
#

Never tried but athena or poseidon sounds good for shield

plain violet
#

athena on zeus shield was just funny to watch

#

plus I had +200% dmg in total from some chaos boon stacks

civic needle
#

Ares and shildthrow is also funny

thorny basin

i had a really fun run with crystal beam and zues shield with athena deflect

died to the rat miniboss cause poison Xp

Aegis of Zeus is good.

#

Guys im new to Hades, is it only me or are the weapon upgrades with that hammer you can get OP?

spare flare
#

I used Drunken Strike, Curse of Agony, the talent for bonus damage on cursed targets, the duo boon that makes hangover tick more, and other stuff for an easy win.

civic needle

Seems OP imo

spare flare

There is no hammer . . .

You only get 2 hammers in a run

Oh, Daedelus Hammers?

How can I know which specials lodge the stone and which don't?

@heady relic Aphrodite, Poseidon, Artemis, Athena, Zeus all stick

Thanks!

Keep in mind though, that some Duos change those interactions

If you get the Demeter/Poseidon Duo for instance, the Poseidon cast no longer sticks

civic needle
#

Yeah but I prefer my native language when playing a new game

random light
#

You only get 2 hammers in a run
You can technically get three upgrades with the Anvil, but whether it’ll be worth it is pure RNG. But yeah you only get two legit Hammers every run.

civic needle
#

I had that special upgrade for the gun that like completely carried me solo through the game, I feel like those upgrades are a bit overkill, but I'm only a beginner

#

I would guess you guys here are experts, what's the best combination with the sword?

spare flare
#

You say that as though there's just one.

#

There are, what, six different hammer upgrades that augment the special?

civic needle

The big boom upgrade the one that can make you DMG yourself

Hazard Bomb.

my cap was last time be 8k crit last hit in back

that my record on non armored target.

i have got to 5k

i need more damage buffs

but with hades call im pretty sure i can break that cap

Arthur has 200 base damage on it's third swing

unkempt zephyr

i thing its can reach 10k. if epic boons and some pom in backstab,attack and crit damage.

thorny basin

so any damage multiplier and crits go off that for that 3rd swing

jagged roost

big damage

solid portal

Hangover ALL the things lol

now I just have to beat hades with 4th shield aspect and I'll have cleared with every weapon at least once, still not sure how I'm gonna do 32 heat though

unkempt zephyr

try start with +20% speed -50% healing and 40% charon price.

plain violet

I can try, max I've done so far is 16

unkempt zephyr

it will prepare you very well to do 32 if you star do any run with this.

more accuracy. Develops reaction and teaches how to spend money.

the arthur run i just did was 20 mins

livid comet

noice!

jagged roost

i killed Asterius while he was calling for aid xD

you just need feel difference. but try go every run with 20speed,-50% healing and +40 price.after you do 3-4 runs come back to say how it feels.

tfw i had a shield run with athena attack and dash and lost

Any good guan yu build?

The combo seems way too slow

With gy either spin or special

Also faster spin is good on gy

combo on GY have same mechanic as artur. if you know how use one of them. you know how to use both.

As well as charged special I think

It's about the fifth time that I get to him, with the mirror perk of +10% chance to get legendary boons, their egg and sometimes even a bonus of boon rarity, rerolling twice or thrice at that point (and yes making sure that I already had boon of theirs at that point, checking in the codex), and nothing

hazy slate
#

You’re just unlucky then

turbid needle
#

It's the last thing I need for their prophecy, and in over 100 runs I never stumbled upon it, even when putting all the odds on my side

#

Guess so

#

Just feels weird

hazy slate
#

Maybe the Ariadne yarn will help

turbid needle

When I get other legendary or duo boons kinda easily

hazy slate

Does cosmic egg increase rarity?

Supposedly so yes

unkempt zephyr

You need ONE chaos boon to you can find Legendary from chaos.

Question: what would y'all say the weapon with the highest DPS would be? Pre-boons/hammers

cloud barn

If including aspects it’s def shield

hazy slate

I mean, eris or Chiron so I’ve heard

cloud barn

Default Aspect

hazy slate

But don’t quote me on that

Including aspects, yeah

cloud barn

Ok then, default shield max level

#

When used optimally

covert hatch
#

Interesting

hazy slate
#

Are you trying to beat the game with no boons?

unkempt zephyr
#

High damage fron ONE hit its artur. its 8k + but its not a case.Becaus you can not do it all time. in same time another weapon on good player can do same damage. its all about how player use weapon and move set + build.

covert hatch
#

No, the question just came up in another server and I was honestly curious

#

I would have thought something like Nemesis sword, personally

hazy slate
#

I mean, I think nemesis sword needs some boons before it gets really crazy

unkempt zephyr
#

all weapons need some boons.but any weapon need head of player and knowledg.

zagreus with one point invested only

They’re all good Triple bomb is the most good

Triple probably

Triple bomb is just poggers

Wot

limber flax

chaber 8 , i have zeus atk , dionydis cast and triple shot

All gods are good depending on what you're trying to achieve

Theres no "better god"

there a tier list on yt

It all depends on the build

Good guan yu boons?

#

Athena attack maybe?

Athena on attack for deflect spin

#

Ye

#

If you’re going a special build I think either aphro or arte on special

limber flax
#

divine dash

#

yesssssssss

willow fossil
#

Best dash in the game

leaden talon
#

What do you try to achieve with detemer boons

onyx parcel
#

It chills

willow fossil
#

What weapon

#

Are you using

onyx parcel
#

That’s a status effect for ur priv status

willow fossil
#

And what aspect

hazy slate
#

Makes it easier to dodge attacks

leaden talon
#

So its more for slowplau

#

Play*

willow fossil
#

Generally

#

You can get the 10 stack dmg and her legendafy

#

For some dmg plays

#

In some other cases

hazy slate
#

I mean, it works for fast weapons because of the boon that makes fully chilled enemies explode

limber flax
leaden talon
#

Isnt it hard to get legendary boons tho

limber flax
#

looks like a good run

willow fossil
#

Is rng

#

Just have to meet the requirements

hazy slate
#

There’s a mirror of night talent later in the game that boosts chance by 10

willow fossil
#

Then pray to the fates

#

And indecisive said

leaden talon
#

Is that better than the epic boons

willow fossil
#

If you're aiming for legendaries

#

Yes

leaden talon
#

Risk/reward tho

willow fossil
#

Y e p

leaden talon
#

Isnt epic generally better

willow fossil
#

It is

hazy slate
#

It also makes duo boons more common

willow fossil
#

Yep

hazy slate
#

Some of which have good synergy with some builds

leaden talon
#

So if youre given detemer boons while youre on epic mirror talent what do you look to do

hazy slate
#

Like nemesis with aphro arte duo outputs high dps

leaden talon
#

I just feel like my runs with detemer kinda suck lol

hazy slate
#

Then don’t take Demeter

leaden talon
#

Well if nothing else is offered

hazy slate
#

Which keepsakes do you have

#

God keepsakes help a lot with making a build

ornate remnant
#

what does using ||hades call|| again'st hades do?

leaden talon
#

Everything but ||persephone||

hazy slate
#

He reacts and it’s a bit funny

leaden talon
#

But in general i start every run with extra gold

hazy slate
#

Why don’t you use the god keepsakes to get the boons you want then

#

It makes getting a build up and running much easier

leaden talon
#

Oh

#

U have a good point

hazy slate
#

It’s much better than some gold in the long run

leaden talon
#

Ah ok

#

But that accumulates really quickly over the run

hazy slate

Buddy, gold isn’t incredibly important imo

limber flax

#

zagreus

That gun is alright

ornate remnant
#

I feel like cause eris exists there's no point in zag

hazy slate
#

I think most people consider hestia or eris better because of their respective gimmicks

limber flax
#

i recently only unlocked aspects so

hazy slate
#

Hestia for one shots and eris for big universal damage increase

limber flax
#

my run is quite op rn

#

first act

#

zeus atk , athena dash , dionyis cast

ornate remnant
#

the extra ammo is nice

limber flax
#

triple bomb

ornate remnant
#

but i feel like with eris just flat increasing damage any thing you wanna do with extra ammo would be better on eris anyway

#

i'm probably wrong

limber flax
#

after i got zeus atk now, i should probably take out zeus keepsake right ?

#

after act 1

hazy slate
#

Yeah

ornate remnant
#

yeah it only guarantee's them to show up once

Get Athena keepsake for divine dash

limber flax

If you hit the target marked it will dela the same percent as extra dmg

opinions?

i have triple bomb already

#

since i have zeus attack , i assume 2 is bad

so 1 or 3?

unkempt zephyr

why not 2?

hazy slate

3 i think would be nice

unkempt zephyr

to non stop dash attack.

cause zeus attack is better with more attack speed

i go either demeter (for arctic blast) or dio on special, but i've heard good things about artemis special apparently

#

the hammers you want are relentless volley and concentrated volley

forest locust
#

what attack?

unkempt pagoda
#

if you're running dio special, you want artemis, aphro, or ares attack to fish for their duo boon

#

aphrodite would probably be best if you're using privileged status

#

overall i just keep my attack free for any duo boon prerequisites, since i focus all attention purely on the special

Has anyone managed a 59 heat run yet?

unkempt zephyr

Best damage for hangover gives Artemis + apro. becaus its can be 12% crit chance from Duo Artemis+Dio.and 8 stucks from 5 its huge deal.Specialy with artemis mark boon+ Dio peer boon and Artemis Aid. aid grow up super fast and peer give AoE.Duo from aphro and Artemis nice too.

if you some how add Dio Legendary or ares to this.its be insane crits 500-1000+ damage from hangover tick every 0.35 s

They all good.

#

but not zag aspect.

so don't use zag aspect? got it

I wonder if they'll ever nerf the teleporting mage in 1st floor; it's ability to attack right out of teleport is a bit bonkers, he always manages to clip me a few times

Tfw you're not confident about your build but it turns out Hades just lets you through anyway. dusa

With abilities that buff you after using a call , such as Zues's Billow Strength, is this per call? What if you save up the entire call meter, is it longer??

mighty ermine
#

it's the same buff time period regardless of whether you use lesser or greater

I really have troubles to beat Hades with sword and twin fists since I'm bad when I have to be close to my opponents ; what build would you recommend me to win at least 1 run with it ?

@desert ether take. try take demeter attack.and abilyty from core.if special be aphro fine. and if call be artemis amazing.Artemis Call best choose to kill bosses.

Okay thanks you both, imma trying this rn

Is there an aspect plus best build for aspect guide

unkempt zephyr
#

Its my choose for new player to easy handle hades on nemesis sword.demeter slow down bosses. aphro decrese damage on 30-50% or more.Artemis help with crits and damage.

can critting a foe make it mark itself

unkempt pagoda

nope, you need to have at least two foes for hunter’s mark to work

Well, that's not exactly true

You can get the mark to show up if you have the Demeter's and Aphrodite's duo boon

Merciful end on chaos shield is OP

Chaos shield is so good

So many builds are good on it and u really just need explosive return to make it work well

breaching cross vs rolling knuckle on demeter fist?

#

🤔

hazy slate
#

whats rolling knuckle again?

smoky atlas
#

60% dashstrike dmg

#

vs 900% armor dmg

#

like, bosses dont have armor but armor foes tend to give me trouble i guess

hazy slate
#

i mean, if armored enemies are giving you more trouble then breaching

#

rolling if you want more damage against bosses

smoky atlas
#

is concentrated knuckle good

#

+5 base dmg per hit

hazy slate
#

i mean if youre planning on standing there on hitting them

#

not entirely sure how consecutive hit works

unkempt zephyr
#

i

+5 base dmg per hit
@smoky atlas damage added to base damage. its mean boon scail damage from this hamer upgrade too. i check this already.For Sure.

@desert ether take. try take demeter attack.and abilyty from core.if special be aphro fine. and if call be artemis amazing.Artemis Call best choose to kill bosses.

hybrid wave

So is the final keepsake ||hades'|| any good? It seems not that great (whereas the other late keepsake is quickly becoming one of my favorites)

tight cypress
#

it's pretty decent, the unseen damage buff is worth considering, but as a panic invincibility button it's not the best

unkempt pagoda
#

it’s underwhelming imo

#

the best use i’ve found for it is boosting crystal beam/slicing shot

tight cypress
#

just don't make the mistake of attacking right after hitting the call, it resets the enemy AI, and ||Hades|| will default to the spin attack, so if you mess up you can easily eat 40 damage

#

totally didn't do this on ||EM4|| and eat 80 damage in one second

dense valley
#

i used to exclusively use the butterfly than trinket, but i started using the ||persephone|| trinket and i think that might be the best trinket in the game

@limber pine I’m fairly new to the game. By Ares attack you mean Doom? Is that right? And who gives Merciful End?

cloud barn
#

its a duo boon

sacred wing
#

Cool thanks @cloud barn 👍🏻

cloud barn

also when someone says "[god] [slot]" they are referring to the boon from that god that takes up that slot

gray juniper
#

is aspect of rama good?

austere shadow
#

Is flurry jab / poseidon + zeus duo with rupture and jolt boons a popular build

marsh pumice
#

Rama mama is great

gray juniper
#

it seems like most of the aspects in the game are pretty good or useful

thorny basin
#

ok i vastly prefer aphro attack to art attack on arthur

marsh pumice
#

it is all of them have uses

dense valley
#

rama is incredibly good yeah

#

i really dislike the 4th gun aspect on a controller with auto aim on

#

it doesnt target the bomb and i dont think it feels good to play

#

but i bet its pretty good on a kbm or with auto aim off

#

rama is cool because i think it makes building more into the special much more viable than it is on the zag aspect

#

the zag aspect i dont really love the special on it besides spreading some kind of DoT

gray juniper
#

okay but the special on the chiron aspect is reallly fun

marsh pumice
#

it's great, charged volley is OP

gray juniper
#

charon*

dense valley
#

no i think you were right with chiron

#

and yeah that one looks like a lot of fun

#

i just havent messed with it too much yet, i just havent had the spare titan blood to max it out

#

and it seems like something that you really do want to max out

#

the nice thing about a lot of the 4th aspects is a lot of them dont really need the levels that bad

#

like lvl 1 excalibur is totally fine

#

guan yu you definitely need, but a lot of them they do what they do on lvl 1

tranquil karma
#

Noticed a minor glitch, when in the lobby, on the rails below the trader you can get stuck in there if you dash and can only run along the rail. You can dash out of it, but I thought I'd let you know.

#

Also, sometimes Dusa just appears for a second in the middle of the line of Shades while in the Great Hall

#

So I'm using the fists with Demeter aspect and have Demeter on attack, should I do heavy knuckle or breaching cross?

#

breaching cross

Kinetic launcher is the third choice, but I don't think it's really worth it rn.

Is ||Thanatos companion|| good? I like the character so I've been giving him stuff, and so without meaning to I got his ||mort||.

good when it hits

#

which is like.... unreliable

yeah, it's pretty rare for mort to see any use when battie goes off quicker with just a minor damage loss by comparison

when ur generally unskilled like me, it sounds more useful i guess

@empty prairie Its pref .ppl use Dio cast(+demeter and zeus),poseidon cast(+slam boons +zeus ),athena cast(+aphro and zeus)

the latest patch fixed crush shot's interactions with hera too, so it's a pretty solid option now
