#

Like having aphrodite or someone on attack is probably much better

stone harbor
#

If you use two or more casts you mostly oneshot anything with trippy shot

turbid needle
#

hades's spin does 40 normally right? i'm not tripping?

stone harbor
#

I think it does 60, really not sure though

#

There might be a difference if you level it or if you hit enemies with the tip of the spear

#

Idk I used it like 3 times

turbid needle
#

i mean

#

final boss spin

#

not the weapon haha

echo radish
#

What if you shotgun people with dio special

stone harbor
#

For dio special you can just go chiron

echo radish
#

And yea 40 seems about right

#

Completely sure though

turbid needle
#

alright, cause i just got hit for 80 sus went back and checked and i got no HL on

gloomy zenith
#

good boons for hestia?

stone harbor
#

My goal is to get black out without havong to think about applying hangover ever

echo radish
#

Did you get hit by his cast?

#

It's boiling blood

turbid needle
#

ahhhhhhhhhhh

stone harbor
turbid needle
#

alright, i was being a dumbass

#

lost my acorn ticks to the summons like a loser mmmmm

stone harbor
#

You should be reloadong between every shot most of the time so I would not take zeus like with other rajl aspect

gloomy zenith
#

yeah

#

base damage

#

i've already been doing artemis and aphro, i was just wondering if anything else was good

stone harbor
#

You might be able to make poseidon with sea storm work if you really want to

#

If you manage to also get poseidon dash your attack will be outclassed though

#

It seems like more of a meme build than anything good

balmy vigil
#

Rare crop needs to either be buffed to actually do what the description sounds like it does or it's description needs changed to more clearly say what it actually does.

echo radish
#

Some summons are very annoying

#

Hate it when he calls long bows or the blue crystals

stone harbor
#

Maybe a buff to the common one, but if you hit your main damage source it is really strong

gloomy zenith
#

rare crop picks 2 randoms boons, decreases the rarity to common, then buffs the rarity every few encounters

#

right?

stone harbor
#

Yea

echo radish
#

Yes

#

Common crop picks 1 and epic crop picks 3

#

Rare crop name change when

gloomy zenith
#

i didn't know the rarity affected the maount of boons picked

#

*amount

echo radish
#

It does

#

I've only gotten common and epic

balmy vigil
#

It's description sounds like it reduces ALL of your boons to Common then buffs X boons rarity every three encounters.

gloomy zenith
#

yeah

balmy vigil
#

Which would actually be worth taking.

#

What it actually does is just garbage.

stone harbor
#

If you get it early or keep your pool of pommable boons small it is strong. So it is a situational boon like most other stuff except something like athena dash or hermes bonus dashes

echo radish
#

I mean it's far from garbage

#

But also I'll agree that the description isn't clear

#

The first time I took it I thought it'd keep proccing too

#

I like the boon though

tame bison
#

I mean it has a description and then says Boons Affected: 1

#

That’s pretty unambiguous.

gloomy zenith
#

it could mean one random boons every few encounters

#

and regardless, if this many people are confused by it, the wording should be changed

balmy vigil
#

I would rather it's fixed to actually do what it says instead of the description being made accurate to what it does now. As is it's only worth taking if you have exactly the number of boons it effects and they're all already Common.

gloomy zenith
#

i'll take it if i don't really want demeter

#

or if my attack is blue or something

stone harbor
cloud vault
#

If you get it early enough it's quite good unless you already have epics

balmy vigil
#

If it actually did what it said it would be an amazing early game pick.

cloud vault
#

Then prolly not worth it

stone harbor
tame bison
#

You can take it with 3 tunnels left in Styx and it makes a random boon Heroic

#

Which is fun

opal lodge
#

whats wrong with rare crop?

tame bison
#

No clue. I think it’s fine

opal lodge
#

doesnt everyone know its a gamble unless you get it early?

gloomy zenith
#

wording is a bit misleading

turbid needle
#

quick q would you take common greatest reflex or epic swift flourish on chiron

opal lodge
#

is it?

turbid needle
#

gotcha

opal lodge
#

epic sf means 3-4 volleys per target instead of 2-3

balmy vigil
#

Honestly I'd even give it a Heroic tier for 4 and make it start at 7 encounters and reduce the encounters per upgrade by one per pom power until it reaches 1.

stone harbor
#

It might be worth consideration if you have dio special and deal most of your damage with hangover, but prohably not

tame bison
#

Having situational boons in the game is fine. For example, any of the Athena ones associated with giving you a Death Defiance charge or if you’ve ever taken Ares cast and hoped to get Artemis Ares duo. Or all your situational mirror skills

turbid needle
#

nvm lernie slam killed me

stone harbor
#

Lolk

turbid needle
#

i was gonna say this is the run but

#

it was not

honest wing
#

quick question

#

so i finally got meg's companion summon

#

what happens when I fight her

#

can I fight her

turbid needle
#

You cannot use it during the Fury fight.

scarlet ingot
#

You cant use the summon. Thats all I think

honest wing
#

ah

#

that sucks

#

but unerstandable

#

thank you

#

also lucifer aspect is so good

turbid needle
#

It is.

left oak
#

Usually Zag'll just say "can't do that" or something like that, but occasionally Meg chimes in with "ha, not happening"

echo radish
#

Can't use it against dad either @honest wing

honest wing
#

oh

#

then what is the purpose

echo radish
#

There's two other bosses

honest wing
#

yea

echo radish
#

And minibosses

#

Also like jeez, rare crop is fine as is

honest wing
#

can't use it against the lava either which is most of the damage I take lmao

echo radish
#

What lava

#

Oh lol

#

Nvm

turbid needle
#

you can use it against dad. but ||he needs to give you permission ||first

#

i'm not sure what triggers that dialogue, though. it just happened eventually for me

#

same goes for the other companions, not just meg

echo radish
#

Yea it's been a while since I got meg but no permission still

#

So I've kinda just given up hope

#

I just use her to clear satyrs nice and quick

honest wing
#

Tiny Vermin is a beast

echo radish
#

If I could choose whom to fight I think I'd choose vermin everytime

#

He's the easiest one for me

#

No annoying poison darts or lasers

tame bison
#

U crazy

honest wing
#

poison darts are annoyin

echo radish
#

Cmon the rat doesn't do anything

#

He's just running around

turbid needle
#

i've only fought him like twice

#

but he wasn't really a problem

#

the double minibosses are more annoying imo

echo radish
#

Yeee, three shielded snake crystals is big rip

#

Especially on that map with a huge hole in the middle

#

They spawn on three corners

honest wing
#

what are you talking about holy

#

now I'm scared for high heat stuff lol

#

I've only played with EM1 yet

echo radish
#

I play low heat

#

Em doesn't affect minibosses or mobs

honest wing
#

my highest is 4 heat rn

echo radish
#

My highest is 7

#

But that's only one weapon

honest wing
#

I'm just upping the heat to farm titans blood

echo radish
#

Everything else is 3 and 4

honest wing
#

and now I'll also need ambrosia for the first time

pine flax
#

can i use art + posideon duo with ares + posideon duo ?

turbid needle
#

Yes.

fair cairn
#

pushing up to 8 heat and kinda nervous now

echo radish
#

Art poseidon sounds like itd be insane with hunting blades

turbid needle
#

Too bad I don't have this Heroic Auto Reload on a Cast build.

echo radish
#

Asking for heroic auto reload seems like a bit much no?

pine flax
#

what do i want with excalibur?

#

arty? aphro?

fair cairn
#

artemis is good

#

I personally like ares on it

#

since it's a slow weapon

sonic mural
#

Arty attack for juicy 5k hits

#
  • heart rend, shadow slash, etc
granite lava
#

Hey everyone, I have made flowcharts for each god and duos. Before I use them in my mod and put them up on the wiki I need help to do a final proof read. Here is the full album : https://imgur.com/a/UkOZNf6
If you spot any error please ping me, thank you.

#

@echo radish so yeah it's here

echo radish
#

Probably put a space between the https and colon before it so it becomes a hyperlink

granite lava
echo radish
#

Noice and thanks, bookmark

granite lava
#

I'm not a computer and it was very repetitive work, a few people have reported some errors before

nocturne pivot
#

so i own the game on switch but like im considering getting it also on computer to see if mouse and keyboard is fun but i realized i can just ask peeps here

echo radish
#

I like kbm

cunning urchin
turbid needle
echo radish
#

No longer sword liker, rip

turbid needle
#

its implied

granite lava
#

@cunning urchin I can test to be sure but it does not show up as incompatible, neither is the beo cast

turbid needle
#

now I got two swords in my name instead of one

echo radish
#

They form a cross which implies no

#

Smh

cunning urchin
#

@heady radish did you ever get Curse of Drowning on Beowulf? thanthink

tame bison
#

What build is nice on Rail beside Zeus/Dio?

echo radish
#

Which rail

turbid needle
#

eternal chamber poseidon attack lucy

echo radish
#

Ah yes the hose

cunning urchin
#

@granite lava also, relying only on colors for distinguishing different arrows and stuff will make it difficult or impossible for some people with color blindness. You could try using a color-blind-friendly palette and maybe making one arrow color striped, another one dotted, etc.

tame bison
#

Basic gun version not lucifer

echo radish
#

Zagreus aspect?

tame bison
#

Let’s go with eris

turbid needle
#

cluster rockets

granite lava
#

@cunning urchin I just tested and curse of drowning does show up with beo

#

as for color blindness the base game doesn't have a colorblind mode so I don't know why I should bother

echo radish
#

Wait how do cluster rockets work with eris, aren't you supposed to shoot yourself?

turbid needle
#

shotgun an enemy point blank

#

ifs hard not to hit yourself lmqo

echo radish
#

Oh rip

turbid needle
#

it still has a sizeable AOE effect on impact

cunning urchin
#

Because it's more accessible.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

nocturne pivot
#

^

turbid needle
#

^

granite lava
#

If you really insist I can just use white instead of god colors but it really feels superfluous to me

echo radish
#

Just put stripes on your already existing arrows

granite lava
#

I guess different shades of grey would work?

heady radish
pine flax
#

how many hammers can u get a run? is there a guaranteed amount of hammer?

echo radish
#

2

turbid needle
#

2 hammers, 3 with anvil

echo radish
#

Always 2

turbid needle
#

1 in tartarus 1 in elysium

pine flax
#

will the game rig it that i get 2 if i just keep skipping hammers?

echo radish
#

1 before elysium and second one appears after elysium

turbid needle
#

unless if you actively avoid them

#

yes it will

#

they will plague u

nocturne pivot
#

same with hermes right?

turbid needle
#

ye

nocturne pivot
#

that's neat

pine flax
#

oh r u also guaranteed 2 hermes as well

nocturne pivot
#

according to that chart in the pins, yes

cunning urchin
echo radish
#

Make the squares blank instead of grey if you don't require it for duos

pine flax
#

is there a whole page i can read on like

cunning urchin
#

They're colorblind-friendly.

pine flax
#

what the game tries to give you and when you can see a shop or sth

turbid needle
#

saving that for future reference

tame bison
#

Do you guys change your Sword build for Piercing Wave at all? Take advantage of the range somehow

turbid needle
#

nope

#

I still mash dash strike lol

#

it kinda helps with flame wheels tho

echo radish
#

I don't like wave, it feels so lame

untold vortex
#

oooh, that's a really nice set of colour pallettes Nyaan klinkO

turbid needle
#

it's one of the better sord hammers

echo radish
#

Really? Idk never liked it

#

Like it doesn't do enough damage and it's too small to hit anything accidentally

opal lodge
#

piercing wave is good because it works with dash strikes

#

its probably the number 2 or 3 sword hammer depending on how you feel about breaching slash

echo radish
#

Oh wait what it takes Dash strike buffs?

opal lodge
#

?

tame bison
#

It makes a wave when you dash strike

opal lodge
#

^

turbid needle
#

What's the first Hammer in A? Not Breaching Slash.

#

piercing wave

tame bison
#

Who knows any of the pictures

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

frail schooner
#

yeah my phone is in black and white and those duo diagrams are hard to read

turbid needle
#

s+: double edge
arthur: shadow slash, greater consecration
a: piercing wave, breaching slash

#

the others arent important

tame bison
#

And why tier is Cursed Slash for sure lol

turbid needle
#

ye

#

cursed slash, cruel thrust, dash nova

#

Cursed Slash and Flurry Slash are weirdly okay.

#

yeah but you gotta get both at the same time

#

and you kinda get into this trap

echo radish
#

Cruel thrust made me cry

turbid needle
#

idk how to describe it but

echo radish
#

Also dash nova ruined a perfectly good run for me

turbid needle
#

there's this desperation w cursed slash

#

unless if you're using arthur of course lol

echo radish
#

I do like flurry though

turbid needle
#

cursed slash arthur slaps

echo radish
#

Surprised it's C

turbid needle
#

personally biased against it

#

makes dash striking weird

#

I'm curious why you rank Piercing Wave so high.

dry ember
turbid needle
#

Hate you, Fox.

#

it's basically an extra 30 damage on every attack

#

It doesn't scale, though.

#

that's like having hoarding slash w 600 obols

#

It doesn't proc Status Curses, doesn't scale with anything except universal damage-ups.

#

it does pierce tho

#

I think Hoarding Slash is a C-tier Hammer.

dry ember
turbid needle
#

and ur attacking a lot

tame bison
#

What do you mean doesn’t scale? Like it doesn’t get the %dmg bonus off your strike or?

turbid needle
#

Nope.

echo radish
#

Have you considered naming yourself dadhope

tame bison
#

Weird it doesn’t?

echo radish
#

It doesn't

#

Hence I figured it was bad

#

But apparently it isn't?

tame bison
#

Huh yeah it doesn’t weird

turbid needle
#

dash strike is 30 base damage, so an extra 30 damage is basically a +100% additive boost to it

#

which is p good

#

it doesn't matter that it doesn't scale bc it's still a +100% boost

#

bc additive

tame bison
#

So it’s like 100% a dash strike build soon as you take Wave

turbid needle
#

it's already a dash strike build

#

the moment u pick nonhidden sword

#

double edge arthur is bonkers though

tame bison
#

I need to work on my dash striking I think then haha

pseudo stream
#

okay... whoever suggested super soaker Lucifer, I like you

tame bison
#

I guess Poseidon strike Luci?

turbid needle
#

I think the way the hammers are color coded is so cool

#

I never noticed that til I pulled up a tiermaker for them

echo radish
#

How are they color coded?

#

Also have you considered opening a church of dash strike or something

turbid needle
#

sword is red, spear is green, shield is yellow, etc

echo radish
#

O

turbid needle
#

each weapon has their own vibe

dry ember
#

well I don't even know half of those hammers xD

cinder wave
#

Is it just me or is Zeus special on Rama just absolutely busted?

stone harbor
#

It is

pine flax
#

does fam favorite work for each boon

#

or only for # of gods you have

opal lodge
#

of gods

tame bison
#

Yeah I don’t think it’s actually possible to lose with Zeus Rama

pseudo stream
#

Poseidon strike luci + Zeus/Poseidon duo

#

didn't get the Zeus legend though, tried so hard

tame bison
#

Man with Arthur...do I take epic 20% dodge or epic move speed...

#

I guess speed

cunning urchin
#

Dodge.

turbid needle
#

20% dodge is essentially a flat 20% damage reduction

#

on average

cunning urchin
#

DR and Dodge give you more eHP per point the more DR and Dodge you already have.

cinder wave
pine flax
#

Raise the heat

tame bison
#

Agree lol

sonic mural
#

whats special about zeus rama vs heartrend rama?

tame bison
#

Oh just realized I had Duo boon that makes everything epic

#

No wonder I saw epic dodge and move speed

#

Lol

turbid needle
#

epic

tame bison
#

Mmm refreshing nectar from Eurydice? Heroic boons incoming? Yeah I think so right? Lol

#

Does that work?

turbid needle
#

don't think so

tame bison
#

Bummer

#

Yeah doesn’t look like it

echo radish
#

It does make it more likely to get duos and legendaries

#

I think I've always gotten atleast 1 duo out of nectar

tired tulip
#

Do I have to feed my chthonic companions ambrosia to be able to use them in the Hades fight?

forest marsh
#

You have to progress the story to get that

tired tulip
#

😠

sonic juniper
#

More to do with Hades than the companions themselves

forest marsh
#

Though Shady can be used any time

tired tulip
#

But I’m not good at this game

forest marsh
#

So if you want a Companion for Hades, use Shady until you get the rest unlocked

tired tulip
#

Only got Dusa and Meg’s so far

sonic juniper
#

If you want to use them at Hades before you lift that restriction, it has to he from people who don't work in the household. E.g.,

  1. Skelly
  2. Sisyphus
tired tulip
#

I was just surprised when it didn’t work and I died as a result

coarse moss
#

the surprise caught me too, but then i like it for story reasons 😆

tired tulip
#

I’ve only beaten him 3 times so I’m sure I’ll eventually learn what the story is

#

Just got so close with Varatha for the first time and I’m starting to get really irritated with the game again

echo radish
#

Wait you beat dad thrice and have a companion already?

coarse moss
#

everyone hates varatha apparently. im exaggerating but thats what it seems like

echo radish
#

Actually 2 companions already

#

also yea screw spear

#

It's the hardest weapon for me

tired tulip
#

Yes I’m nearing 80 runs

#

I get to Hades and then flub it

#

45 minutes of just collecting nectar and everything

coarse moss
#

do you really have to do with spear?

tired tulip
#

If I want those fated list bounties I do

sonic juniper
#

I want to like Varatha, but I hate that exploding skewer is not default (I hate having to retrieve the spear), and its damage is so lacklustre .

coarse moss
#

before i had any aspects, i made spear work with chain skewer and vicious skewer

sonic juniper
#

No more special builds for me outside of GY

tired tulip
#

I’ve was mostly ignoring the attack and just using the special. List of Dionysus and Artemis boons so things don’t fly at me so fast

coarse moss
#

putting doom on chain skewer, make clearing any room go vrrrr

tired tulip
#

And Hades aspect for that time when things have just generated into the room

coarse moss
#

the big spin is fun. and iirc it hits from behind cover

#

in the hades fight can sit behind pillar while you spin

tame bison
#

Hmm super soaker luci still blows. Standing still is not a thing you do in this game

#

Hmm super soaker luci sucks? There’s a pun here.

coarse moss
#

what about spamming dash strike? the beam dont cut off when you do it

tame bison
#

Oh interesting

nova shale
#

So, is it just me, or is arthur sword the best weapon for aphrodite?

coarse moss
#

love is best weapon

nova shale
#

You combine the weak damage reduction with the consecration damage reduction, and you get the best raw damage scaling on your attack as well

#

Love the 3rd hit doing like 500 damage

tawny meadow
#

guys why does freezing vortex exist... like it feels like a straight nerf to blade rift

echo radish
#

How is it a nerf, it's great

#

Activating ps from blade rift, sign me up

#

Also making them slow along with the rift so they stay inside it longer

tawny meadow
#

30% decreased size and no damage increase or time increase the only bonus it gets is applying chill, which is fine but hardly duo worthy especially when hunting blades increases time and tracks enemies

opal lodge
#

it locks you out of hunting blades

#

nuff said

echo radish
#

I've never used it without black metal though so I might be wrong

#

Wait you can't hunting and freezing votrex together?

opal lodge
#

no

echo radish
#

That was going to be my next run rip

opal lodge
#

i would consider freezing if you could

tawny meadow
#

yeah if they could both stack that'd be cool but they lock each other out

echo radish
#

It would be godlike if it could be used together

tawny meadow
#

like I'd rather take regular cast in 99% of situations over freezing vortex

echo radish
#

Maybe they should make demeter tier 2 skills a requirement for the duo

opal lodge
#

freezing vortex + killing freeze sounds nut

tawny meadow
#

except enemies just leave it without engulfing vortex

echo radish
#

Think rift would build up chill fast enough for like one or two blasts

tame bison
#

@coarse moss lol knowing that let me win despite using 5 DD this run

tawny meadow
#

I just don't understand why freezing vortex is as weak as it is, like if it even just added cast damage that'd be cool but it doesn't even do that it gives you this slow (not stationary) small rift with no bonuses besides adding chill

coarse moss
#

stationary blade rift would be amazing

cunning urchin
#

@glass rapids hi! Unfortunately, your submission for Hades Is Comin' to Town only has Jury Summons 2 instead of 3, so I had to remove it. squirtooh Would you try again with JS3 and submit that? m sure you can do it! squirtnya

glass rapids
#

Oh damn, thought I had JS3

#

never getting that build again shadegrief

untold vortex
#

I believes you can bittie3

cunning urchin
#

It was still a really good run!

#

You might get an even better one this time. dusa

glass rapids
#

i survived one room with 1 HP left

#

I had stubborn defiance on by mistake

cunning urchin
#

Wow lol.

#

1 HP is all you need anyway. dusa

glass rapids
#

high confidence + stubborn defiance is scary

#

in tartarus

cunning urchin
#

I play High Confidence Guan Yu lol.

glass rapids
#

i would be terrified throughout tartarus

tawny meadow
#

upgrading it goes a long way too like lvl 5 guan is a lot less scary than lvl 1 guan

cunning urchin
#

I still want to do a mirrorless Lv.1 Guan Yu run in Hell mode.

tawny meadow
#

you want to do wat?

cunning urchin
#

It's fun.

tame bison
#

Have you tried hot pokers in the armpits before? You may also enjoy that. 🙂

cunning urchin
#

That would be painful, though.

tawny meadow
#

some people are into that

echo radish
#

Why is my shadow presence and fiery presence doing the same damage

#

Shouldn't fiery be higher?

#

I tried hestia with fiery and high confidence and it dealt 262.
Same with shadow presence and high confidence dealt 262

#

Am I missing something?

tame bison
#

Fiery is only undamaged foes? So only procs first hit?

echo radish
#

Yea tried it on undamaged skelly

tame bison
#

No idea

balmy vigil
#

Is it even possible to unlevel weapons? (Barring CheatEngine or fresh saves)

fair cairn
#

nope

stone harbor
#

If I used the dio keepsake in tartarus and keep it, do I get another guaranteed dio boon in asphodel?

sullen valley
#

No, but you’ll keep the increased rarity chance bonus (for Dionysus)

lean basin
#

has anyone tried the Diogenes challenge? if so, any tips on completing it?

tough pebble
#

what is a good special boon apart from artemis to use on the chiron bow?

stone harbor
#

dio, ares if you get that boon that lets you stack his curse, demeter if you get artic blast

#

try getting duo boons with ares and aphro if you go dio

#

zeus might seem like a good idea, but the lightning bolt seems to have an internal cooldown so you only get like 2-3 per special at best

#

so don't go zeus

untold vortex
#

yeah zeus special has a single target internal cooldown

coarse moss
#

anyone tried zeus on chiron special? i know the internal cooldown thing, but 2-3 procs dont sound too bad, especially with jolted and double strike. and pretty good room clearing if you just special without the homing. just theory ofc

cosmic torrent
#

Do chain lightning attacks provide any benifit against solo enemies? Like bosses and stuff

stone harbor
#

I'm bored give ne a minute

cosmic torrent
#

And Zeus on special doesn’t sound bad, just there’s better options

stone harbor
#

I did poseidon on chiron once and no, you don't get 8 knockbacks in case anyone wated to know btw

coarse moss
#

8 knockback sounds epic in theory lol

cosmic torrent
#

Doom on Chiron special with dire misfortune maybe?

#

Depends on how good that boon is in general, haven’t really used it much personally

stone harbor
#

yeah that works well

#

especially if you get the extra delay for doom

#

zeus special on chiron seems fairly decent in tartarus so far

coarse moss
#

wanna know how many bolts appear on 1 target

stone harbor
#

2-3 like I said, it's pretty hard to tell

#

I'm pretty sure artemis and dio are both going to scale better though

#

especially since the hammer for extra special shots is not going to add much damage

coarse moss
#

if we consider thunder flourish epic, 45 dmg per bolt. 3 hits = 135 extra damage. and can apply jolted too hmm

stone harbor
#

I'm 90% sure you get 3 by now btw

coarse moss
#

nice!

stone harbor
#

get jolted or roll for doublke strike?

#

jolted does not get you the legendary

coarse moss
#

im...not sure. youre prob more experienced

stone harbor
#

I'm still in tartarus, jolted should be fine

#

getting double strike is pretty risky

#

way too greedy and it only really helps with bosses

coarse moss
#

yeah. is the non-homing special great for room clear as i thought?

#

room-wide jolted sounds nice lol

#

but i guess that can be achieved with zeus cast

stone harbor
#

so I just got done with tartarus and for now the build seems good but nothing absurd like beowulf trippy shot

#

should I transition into lightning rod or keep going with pure zeus?

coarse moss
#

i'll leave it all to you xD

stone harbor
#

lightning rod it is

#

nvm I don't drop the cast cristal things

coarse moss
#

ah too bad. i love leaving 3 rods down while i run around

stone harbor
#

just killed hydra, I have double strike but not the legendary, dio special with a duo deals more damage to hyrda but zeus is absolutely playable

#

not sure if I am going to get much more damage though

coarse moss
#

maybe zeus have better room clear potential but worse single target?

stone harbor
#

the single target is fine, dio and artemis are just better

#

I don't really use the special to clear rooms with chiron

#

you get some aoe if enemies are standing on top of each other though

coarse moss
#

could try it out and see if it's good

#

using special to clear room that is

stone harbor
#

you don't deal enough damage for that if you only hit something with a single or two special arrows

coarse moss
#

im counting on the jolted since that does about 100+

stone harbor
#

if you are fighting flamewheels or rats absolutely but other than that you have to do enemies one by one with chiron

#

you need them to attack like 3-4 times to deal enough damage, it is better to just press special 3 times to kill them instantly without risking atatcks

coarse moss
#

i see

#

i'm thinking the skulls and witches mostly. anything bigger will use burst

stone harbor
#

just fought asterius, it definitely falls off but early on it is really good

#

still need the legendary

coarse moss
#

thanks for testing btw 😆

stone harbor
#

why did I pick em3

#

just died to theseus and asterius lol

#

overall the build seems decent enough but gets outclassed by artemis and dio

#

not sure about ares,I only played that one once

coarse moss
#

ah i see

stone harbor
#

I should have taken some attack with a status curse too, I don't think I ever got priviledged status off and I forgot to switch to family favourite

#

btw does anyone have an idea why you get guan yu before the other hidden aspects when the helth loss is so crippling at rank one?

#

they should just give you arthur

#

you loose like 70%

cosmic hornet
#

i'm guessing guan yu was the first hidden aspect they implemented

#

so it got the short end of the stick

stone harbor
#

still no reason not to change it to any of the others

coarse moss
#

cold fusion or lightning rod probably good boons to go for with the chiron zeus build

stone harbor
#

lightning rod yes, not sure about cold fusion. You only really focus on one enmy most of the time and jolted should not ever expire opn that enemy

#

if I also have lightning rod or something like zeus call I might pick it

#

but I would pick double strike and splitting bolt over that

coarse moss
#

yeah makes sense

stone harbor
#

not sure if the boon that makes lightning strike aoe bigger is better but that's also pretty bad lol

coarse moss
#

i think cold fusion might have bigger potential than that though. like, if hades is doing his 3 hit combo, your jolted fell off from his first attack and your repositioning rather than pelting him with arrows. he could have jolt himself 3 times

#

same for asterius

stone harbor
#

yeah true but that is a pretty small usecase

#

double strike and splitting bolt give damage constantly though

#

the best use for copld fusion are the crystakl things in styx with lasers, they die pretty quickly to it

#

but other than that I don't think it is good

coarse moss
#

yeah, other options seem more useful

hollow helm
#

What build should I go for when learning how to Beo? Also how critical are levels on Beo since I'm a bit short on blood.

stone harbor
#

dio is great damage

#

I wouldn't say you need levels, but they add quite a biot of damage

#

beowulf with dio is stupid amounts of damage

#

it should also be great with aphro but I never tried

opal lodge
#

f l o o d f l a r e

stone harbor
#

that as well

hollow helm
#

Is Flood Flare legit now? Is it Flood Stygian or Flood Infernal? Might test it out since Aphro feels hit and miss for me

opal lodge
#

i think it is

#

felt 1 million times easier than dio beo on anyheat and 50 heat lmao

hollow helm
#

I see, I assume it's Flood Flare into Waves Pounding/Rupture/Slam or Sea Storm as a build then, then trying to get Mirage as well

opal lodge
#

mirage is priority numero uno

#

then probably wave pounding/sea storm/breaking wave

hollow helm
#

Which of the cast mirrors do I take, Stygian or Infernal?

opal lodge
#

stygian for dio, infernal for the rest

Alright I've got the mirror fully opened up now so I'm going to reset it and spend my darkness wisely this time. Any 'must haves' for getting my first escape?

lavish lynx
#

Hello. I fail to get any dps out of the bow. What are good builds so I can finally get good times on a run?

stone harbor
#

First off all try getting used to getting off a powershot most of the time

#

You should also be dashing between shots so they fire faster

#

Good boons are the usual damage boons for attack(artemis, aphro, anything with a high damage %)

#

This is different for hera and chiron, they focus on the cast and special respectively

lavish lynx
#

oki

stray apex
#

what is best boons for aspect of rama?

gusty rapids
#

big chunky attacks like artemis or aphro, and something that applies status on the special (demeter, dionysus, ares, zeus are all good)

lavish lynx
#

seriously this is so stupid. every time I use the sword Hades wrecks me in the boss fight.

lavish lynx
#

It feels like I take 100% more damage than with any other weaponj

lavish lynx
#

Super Giant needs to buff this i dont know.

#

give it more range or whatever it´s so annoying

#

I can gun through with the rail, poke to death with the bow, block+burst with the shield or spam the fists but I cant do anything with the sword.

#

not even on heat 2 or so

stray apex
#

i havent even cleared once with sword

#

i ve done it only with bow and rail

coarse moss
#

if playing a certain weapon dont work for you....get tidal dash, and sea storm and any boons that improve knockbacks, and your weapon doesnt matter. dash is your main damage 😆

if you havent gotten first clear yet, then yah you can basically experiment and build anything

keen mesa
#

lol, using Aspect of Hera. Just reached Asphodel.

#
  1. Haven't gotten any cast boons yet.
#
  1. First room in Asphodel is Daedalus hammer, my first daedalus hammer offer.
#
  1. But there's also an Erebus chamber with Pom upgrade...
#

I really don't think I need daedalus hammer, honestly, with aspect of hera

sonic mural
#

does power shots affect hera?

keen mesa
#

ARGH, got hit in erebus with a stupid kamakaze chariot

#

I mean, it affects the base damage

#

but aspect of hera you want to get boon for cast damage

#

However, unlike shield, the cast damage isn't increased

sonic mural

then the hammer which negates charging an attack at the expense of powershotting might be good

Arthur aspect, divine strike, hunter dash: do I take Boss Ares boon or Chaos gate? Kinda interesting

arthur you want attack % increase

because he hits like a truck anyway

with enough % increase on attack you can hit for 1000+ with third strike

Yeah i can try chaos and reroll to look

It’s pretty likely that you’ll find at least one more Hermes boon

I have 85% gold increase already from chaos, so that first one is right out...

Do you have an upgraded cast

keen mesa
#

I'm using Aspect of Hera, but I don't have a cast boon yet

#

second one would be fantastic, but I don't have a special boon yet either, so Maimed Shot would be horrible, I'd have no way to kill anything

I could try rerolling again

analog patio
#

Better privileged status or family favorite?

keen mesa
#

I use family favorite because it's easier to achieve

#

for instance my current bonus is 25%

#

with boons from areas, zeus, dio, athena, and chaos

#

but I don't have hangover from dio

#

and I don't have chill or weak

#

so getting 40% from privileged would be difficult...

analog patio
#

Mmh ok

#

Thanks

keen mesa
#

obviously though 40% > 25% ;-P

#

so if you can get hangover and chill, for instance, things that last a long time

#

that's an easy 40% damage boost

#

is hades aspect spear good/fun? if so, what boons are good on it?

humble gate
#

I think like all the non-achilles spears it's fun with good hammer rng and a slog without it

#

The hammer that speeds up your spin attack is fun.

gloomy zenith
#

i love spear, but i feel like i hade to play achilles

#

*have

#

because of how dang good it is

rare kindle
#

I like the serrated edge hammer, that plus a big attack damage% boon is good

coarse moss
#

i like the huge spin that hades aspect has. you can hit through walls and stuff. even in last boss you can hit from behind pillar

gloomy zenith
#

neat. i’ll try it out

echo radish
#

All spears feel the same to me

gloomy zenith
#

but even for spin attack achilles is broken because of the huge damage bonus

humble gate
#

Its pretty versatile with boons I think. If you get serrated edge hammer you can go Artemis and spam dash attack for max damage. If you get the spin attack speed up hammer you can go Aphro or Athena on your attack for damage plus defense

echo radish
#

The ways I'd build for them just aren't very different in general is what I'm trying to say I guess

opal lodge
#

flurry jab on achilles/zag is insane

#

literally take flurry jab over any other hammer

cunning geode
#

Is there any effective strategy of winning with the Guan Yu? Seems like a big downgrade to me, tho maybe I'm wrong

humble gate
#

Get explosive skewer. Spam special.

#

And charged skewer

proven osprey
#

Exploding launcher does not exist for GY

#

Charged skewer is indeed the hammer you look for

cunning geode
#

Yeah it's basically already the same as exploding launcher

#

Just a bit smaller

humble gate
#

Yeah that's right

cunning geode
#

Guess I'll look for that upgrade

#

And also will farm titan blood so the life decrease won't be so big

proven osprey
#

Other than that spin hammers are good, serrated risky but nice dps

humble gate
#

Does anyone else ever check to see what their first boon is and then give up and pick their weapon based on that?

cunning geode
#

I can imagine the spin attack being so much more usable with quick spin

proven osprey
#

It's easier

#

Although with a bit of practice the spin is fine as is

cunning geode
#

It's like with Arthur, it's got amazing moves but it's sooo slooooooow

humble gate
#

I feel like Guan Yu's spin attack needs the same dash mechanics as Arthur's standard attack combo

cunning geode
#

Although I can't say bad things about Arthur when it literally has given me 4k crits

humble gate
#

If you dash while charging spin with guan yu it just fires off and then you dash

cunning geode
#

That being said I've yet to beat the final boss with Arthur

#

That slowness came into play ngl

humble gate
#

Arthur is my best sword aspect :zaglol:

#

does chiron with zeus special work btw? like how many lightning bolts does it shoot when all 8 arrows hit?

keen mesa
#

there is a cooldown

#

you'll get 1 lightning bolt

mellow forge
#

oof

keen mesa
#

the cooldown is per enemy

#

so if you used normal bow special and hit 8 enemies, that's 8 lightning bolts

mellow forge
#

so good for normal bow special but awful for chiron

keen mesa
#

but if you hit the same enemy 8 times, that's one lightning bolt

coarse moss
#

its not 1, you get 3 bolts apparently. if thunder flourish epic thats 135 damage. not bad

humble gate
keen mesa
#

I don't know if you could shotgun normal bow's special at the same target and get 8 lightning bolts though

you would need to be very close

Is it possible to get two extra casts from chaos in one run?

Question, a quick check of the wiki didn't offer me an answer to how different sources of Hangover work. Is it a maximum of five stacks no matter the source, or does each source have its own set of stacks? If it's max five, does it combine Hangover damage from each source, or only use the highest damaging one in your build?

turbid needle
#

each stack has different damage depending on the boon it comes from

cunning urchin

New stacks will overwrite old stacks.

turbid needle

So not gud to have multiple sources, basically

So say I want a reroll on the anvil. I pick it up, and I don't like it. When I'm next to Charon and try to quit, the game wont let me, so I have to enter one of the combat chamber, then it allows me to quit. When I restart the game, I'm still in the combat chamber and I can't undo my choice.

#

u get in a rhythm for Arthur dash attack

So, about the whole "dealing more damage to undamaged enemies"

#

Do armored enemies count as undamaged until you start depleting their red health?

#

Or does it only count the first ever hit to the enemy

forest marsh
#

Just first hit, armour or not

bright sandal
#

So I just found out there's a priority mechanic in the game, and the way it's been explained to me is that you're guaranteed at least 1 priority boon if you don't have priority slots filled (attack, special, cast, dash)

So what I usually do is if I know for sure I'm not going to be using an attack in the game, like cast or special, I just avoid all boons for it and will take even mediocre boons over it.

But with the priority mechanic, should I be taking those priority boons even knowing I'm not gonna use it if my other choices are mediocre, given that it would give me more boon choice later in the run as they wouldn't be taken by priority boons?

forest marsh
#

It depends on the situation, but yes. If you're looking for non-core boons or tier 2/3 boons, filling out your slots first will make them appear faster

Special/cast/attack all can stun, or stagger, really. Ranged weapon can certainly do that, too, this depends on the fire rate. Take bow for example, normally it's hard to stunlock because you need to charge the bow.

#

But wtih flurry shot, now you can stunlock. (again, if the enemy has no armor)

3rd win with Lucifer. Still think it’s garbage. Lol

opal lodge
#

luci is great

#

probs my favorite rail

#

hard to play well

#

since you dont get i frames if you attack and dash

#

you can get punished hard for just holding down attack

sullen valley
#

What, so if you get hit with a Spear's spin attack, you can't do anything about it?

opal lodge
#

just

#

stop firing

#

and dash

#

or

#

if youre a gamer

#

you can gain i frames by dash reloading

frigid pewter
#

I had trouble with luci until I figured out I should hold the attack and just tap dash

sullen valley
#

I mean typically you still get I-frames if you dash attack with any other aspect, but

#

Why?

opal lodge
#

lucifer cant dash attack

sullen valley
#

If it deals faster damage for the duration of your dash, I'm p sure that's a Dash Attack

sonic juniper
#

You never get i-frames during a dash attack, the attack cancels the i-frames iirc

opal lodge
#

instead you get the ability to ramp up during your dash

#

its not a dash attack

#

the ramp stays the sane

sullen valley
#

I need to talk to Skelly some more

#

Like, ramping up your damage consumes more ammo, right?

sonic juniper
#

Attack can kind of have fast attack speed due to the spin

fallen mirage
#

For other aspects, you get iframes for the portion of the dash where you're not dash-attacking. As soon as the attack starts, you lose your iframes. Lucifer you never stop attacking, so you never get the iframes

sullen valley
#

oof

turbid needle
#

does dashing spin attack give you iframes

sonic juniper
#

Yes

hrm, I have two 75% gold buffs, 20 gold dropped, it increased to 50, which means it's additive, nice

#

Does hestia go well with spreadfire?

cunning urchin
#

Nope.

plucky harbor
#

Awww

#

Okie

cunning urchin
#

The Empowered Shot isn't affected by Spread Fire at all.

#

Best hammers for Hestia are Piercing Fire, Ricochet Fire, and Explosive Fire probably in that order. I also like Targeting System.

plucky harbor
#

Targeting system goes well with every rail aspect

cunning urchin
#

It does.

stone harbor
#

Targeting system is the one that makes bullets curve to the target, right?

#

Does that even work with hestia-empowered shots?

#

I never notived a difference

cunning urchin
#

No, that's Seeking Fire.

stone harbor
#

Nvm then

cunning urchin
#

Foes targeted by your **Special **move slower and take +30% damage.

#

That one's Targeting System.

mild raft
#

If you apply two dooms that deal different damage which one gets used for the damage

#

Like if I have special doom that deals x damage and attack doom that deals y damage

#

and I hit an enemy with both attack and special how much damage do they take

cunning urchin
#

Doom doesn't overwrite itself.

#

So they'll just take damage from the first Doom you applied.

fair cairn
#

doom doesnt stack

#

although there is one boon that amplifies it with extra doom applications

#

which is good

mild raft
#

alright so it's better to stick with one doom boon rather than get one for both attack and special

fair cairn
#

pretty much

#

use something else on special

mild raft
#

from looking at the numbers on the wiki the attack boon seems like the better option

#

since their damage is similar and attack is better for some reason at heroic

fair cairn
#

aphro or athena on the other is good

#

for merciful end or curse of longing

mild raft
#

Yea very true

Pom Blossom

#

then just don't take any other boons ;-P

fair cairn
#

well yeah by chamber 25 (23 actual chambers) that means you'd have a ton of RNG luck to pom that exact thing

keen mesa
#

My first boon was cast, I didn't pick up my second boon for ages

fair cairn
#

and get a lot of poms on the way

mild raft
#

Wait can that upgrade 1 boon multiple times?

keen mesa
#

of course

fair cairn
#

yep

#

it's RNG

mild raft
#

Oh

#

I never considered that

keen mesa
#

my highest level on an ability is level 21

mild raft

This is interesting

keen mesa
#

with arthur, boon attack

#

I just never took anything else

#

and the styx chambers each count

fair cairn
#

arthur, arty attack, athena call, done

#

dont need anything else

keen mesa
#

that's 33 chambers if you clear them all -- that's 8 levels right there

Looking to understand how to use the triple-$weapon builds... I'm using Lucifer now and am trying out the triple beam, but all it seems to do is just miss 2 of the three beams at all times. Same goes for the spear

black out, scintillating feast and +1 cast at tartarus lets go

#

yo around what heat is it that just going for as much health as possible start to not work

#

cuz when i prioritize health over most other stuff i can comfortably win all the runs ive been doing so far, and have been gradually increasing the heat for bounties

cosmic hornet
#

depending on your heat setup

#

on 16 i think it could still work, but 32 not so much

cosmic hornet

hm alrighty cool thanks

triple beam is a meme

Kinda what I figured; just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something non-obvious

If you really hate crowds Triple Beam and Lightning Strike will delete just about everything.

tranquil violet
#

Any thoughts on which aspects are best to spend my now copious titan blood on?

#

Some benefit more than others from upgrading.

icy glade
#

depends. what weapons you like?

tranquil violet
#

I usually like spear and bow

#

Was thinking of finishing upgrading Achilles, Chiron and Guan Yu

#

But Rama is nice too

#

Doesn't seem like it needs the upgrades as much though

spark meteor
#

chiron doesnt perform well until it's maxed up but when it does oh boy

#

guan yu defintiely needs the upgrades

tranquil violet
#

Just did a Chiron Bow run (I have it at lv 3)

icy glade
#

rama upgrades will be good at high heat, but right now at lvl 1 it should be ok

tranquil violet
#

Relentless volley and piercing volley for hammers

#

Then Aphrodite attack, Artemis special, Dionysus dash and cast

#

And all of their duos

#

Plus some other crit/damage related boons

#

Fun stuff

#

Just stack weak and hangover on enemies then melt them with crits shadesmile

#

I need some ideas for Chiron that aren't Artemis/Aphrodite though
