warped hemlock
#

That's good info to have.

#

I'm up to 16 heat that I'm consistently fighting through, and winning about 40% of runs, but I have a ways to go.

worn solar
#

nemesis best to use

warped hemlock
#

I'll keep that in mind. I'd check what I have it set to right now, but I'd have to turn my game back on and I'm still annoyed about that run that went stupidly well until the final fight lol.

valid dagger
#

You’ll have better runs eventually

valid dagger
#

It takes practice and precision and it’s not that intuitive

long escarp
#

Sword is hard but it’s not quite as bad as people say it is I think

valid dagger
#

It’s hard yea

long escarp
#

Well it’s definitely not great but it’s underrated due to its difficulty

valid dagger
#

My 50 heat with Nemesis was pretty comfy

warped hemlock
#

I stopped playing for several months, because I got really busy with life so couldn't play it, but then saw a streamer I watch trying it out for the first time and just made me want to play again, and then I've played three runs since, one with a bow, one with a shield, and one with the sword, only the shield one was a win, because athena's deflect on special with zeus aspect is pretty powerful.

#

I don't think I used any death defies that run, it felt really good, but you know, shield is also really good on its own lol.

long escarp
#

Define powerful

valid dagger
#

It just works

#

Because of Zeus shield’s kit

#

Every special works

#

And feels okay

warped hemlock
#

I would throw the shield and it would stun lock enemies and deflect any projectiles so it was basically a death barrier lol

valid dagger
#

Yea it’s solid and safe

#

In terms of damage, Zeus Special and ME are the top 2

warped hemlock
#

ME?

valid dagger
#

Merciful End

#

Usually it’s Athena Attack and Ares Special but the other way around can work

#

Special has good pom scaling and not as reliant on rarity as the attack is

warped hemlock
#

Oh yeah, I think it also got brought up to level like, 4 with poms so It really sort of just tore enemies apart.

long escarp
warped hemlock
#

Otherwise shield damage is pretty rough over all.

long escarp
#

Lol

#

If you say so

warped hemlock
#

It works well in the beginning but falls off later on without good boon builds. And, at least, for me, I get too reckless and rely too much on the shield's speed and try and squeeze too many hits out and sort of just get whittled away by enemies who attack fast and ultimately end up losing from that.

long escarp
#

Are you saying every shield is this way?

valid dagger
#

Well in this instance, Athena on the Special alone without Merciful End is pretty subpar so that’s expected, good builds are not as RNG as people think, some things are, but there is a consistent threshold that you can get literally every single run

long escarp
#

Zeus shield requires two boons to be extremely strong

#

Beowulf requires one to be great and a few more to be insane

#

Zag requires one hammer and a boon/shackle

valid dagger
#

And Chaos is either Zeus but worse or Zag but worse

long escarp
#

Shield is extremely good

#

In basically every context

warped hemlock
#

I think I tried Beowulf, but it's too slow for me, because I don't like to go slow, which is completely down to preference. And as for builds, I mean like, I could maybe try and get consistently good builds for everything, but I do like the added strategy of trying to work my way through whatever I can get, I typically avoid any of the gods or goddesses keepsakes and just sort of go with what I get. I typically don't really care for trying to build a strategy either, but it feels like, every time I try and use sword it's just a slog through the entire run from start to finish.

long escarp
#

Yeah I don’t like to go slow either

warped hemlock
#

I guess I'm pretty casual of a player in the whole scheme of things lol.

long escarp
#

Luckily Beowulf is incredibly fast

#

I got my speedrun Pb with Beowulf

valid dagger
#

You kinda need something to get going on every weapon for it to feel pretty good atleast

#

And again, unless you have some incredible talent and experience it’s gonna be painful to wing it with whatever you can get

#

And most people don’t do that, literally only Retrash does

long escarp
#

Hestia is great with boonless shackle

#

But yes you are right

#

Ofc

valid dagger
#

Yea some weapons are better for that, like Hestia Nemesis Zag bow Rama can wing it a lot better than like Beowulf which really needs an early cast and poms in it

#

Since they can work with whatever big % attack etc

warped hemlock
#

I mean, like, the way I see it, is if I prepare myself to get the best win chances, prioritizing build over gameplay I can't train my reactions and learn the best strategies in terms of gameplay against enemies or the best strategy against each enemy to find the best way to deal with them. If I learn how to do that, no matter what the build will be, I will be the best prepared I can be to win regardless.

long escarp
#

???

#

Try high heat

warped hemlock
#

If I want to eventually try as close to a boonless run I can get, I will need to learn how to best adapt against each of the enemies and the best strategies for each of the weapons before I can manage that.

long escarp
#

If your problem is “game is too easy when I have a good build”, the solution of “make the game harder” is probably better than “don’t get a good build” bouldy

valid dagger
#

I mean I agree with that I think

#

High heat is gonna make enemies tougher, if you’re used to enemies doing double damage and having 100 hp total at best and so on you’re gonna have 0 issues at lower heats etc

#

If you’re out of your comfort zone in terms of Heat even the best of builds wont save you

#

Builds are also a part of using weapons optimally

long escarp
#

Pushing heat with good builds will teach you much more than playing casually while disregarding optimal decisions

worn solar
#

if you can do 16 heat then 0 heat boonless aint really that difficult

long escarp
#

Very true

worn solar
#

tbh nothing but shackle is about as good or better than some builds thanthink

valid dagger
#

I like playing with minimal stuff

valid dagger
worn solar
#

kinda can make you realize how few boons you actually need. a lot can just add to bloat really

valid dagger
#

Yes

#

And you also stop buying random crap because of swaps and whatever

warped hemlock
#

Yeah, that's true, I think before I go for optimal builds I would rather just try to play the game boonless. That way I can learn the best ins and outs of the weapons without any of the side effects, learning to get the most out of the weapon itself, maybe prioritizing learning the ins and outs of the aspects over anything else.

worn solar
#

idk about that. a lot of weapons play the same boonless or not and other aspects are tied to boon synergy

#

like rail attack is pretty much designed to go with zeus/dio attack because of its high hit rate and low damage

#

while theres cast aspects like hera and beo

long escarp
#

Yeah most weapons really don’t work boonless

#

Boonless Eris is honestly just bad

#

straight up

#

Same with Beo

#

Hera

#

Achilles

worn solar
#

slapping an aphro attack on hestia rail isnt much different from shackle hestia except you have some damage resistance and a different damage curve

long escarp
#

Yeah

#

But for some weapons, they really need boons to actually function

#

That’s why people don’t play boonless much

#

Because the ranking of aspects starts to look like a smash brawl tier list with Hestia as Meta Knight

#

Boonless doesn’t teach you “the best ins and outs of the weapons”, not even remotely

warped hemlock
#

Yeah, but it might be a fun challenge.

long escarp
#

Ok but that’s not what you said

#

Boonless is a kinda interesting challenge (specifically on Hestia)

#

But it’s a terrible way to “learn the best ins and outs of the weapons”

#

Your words

warped hemlock
#

Anyway, it's almost 2 in the morning, so I'm gonna head off for the night probably, have to work tomorrow earlier than usual.

desert meteor
#

Zeus with doom, merciful end, stacking doom and other effects that happen per special attack can be so overpowered man

#

The shield keeps hitting and effects keep adding up

#

I'm playing with zeus shield to unlock beowulf but I doubt beowulf can get me faster times than this amazing thing

valid dagger
#

Beowulf is faster

desert meteor
#

ooo

valid dagger
#

Atleast it’s a lot easier to go fast with Beowulf

#

Community has more sub6 Beowulf runs than all the other aspects combined

desert meteor
#

something I'm worried about with beowulf is that enemies might just be out of the range or too laterally spaced out to kill them in low rushes

valid dagger
#

Nah Beowulf aoe is actually massive

#

Watch some vods

#

It feels so good to play

desert meteor
#

chaos lazy ass is just not giving me beowulf it's so annoying, I have guan yu unlocked and 5 titian blood invested, but even after like 6 gates haven't gotten it

valid dagger
#

I’ll post this everytime I get the chance

#

|| bouldy ||

desert meteor
#

Goddamn that IGT is less than half of my best IGT (15min latest Zeus shield run)

valid dagger
#

Beowulf gud

errant narwhal
desert meteor
#

Did 2 completions with shield

valid dagger
#

Yea when you talk to them they should comment about it

desert meteor
#

Taking all chaos I got

valid dagger
#

Might have a lot of dialogue clogging it up

hazy slate
#

Say real quick question about beo what flare is better for speed?

desert meteor
hazy slate
#

Is it because of its aoe?

valid dagger
#

Aoe and Mirage prereq

#

And good pom scaling

#

You need Mirage shot

#

It’s massive damage

hazy slate
#

I’ll keep it in mind

valid dagger
#

Trippy Flare and Passion flare are after Flood but you’ll have consistency problems and it’s just lots of rng

hazy slate
#

I don’t think I’ve gotten mirage shot yet so I wanna try and grab it next time I go beo

valid dagger
#

Flood is consistent

valid dagger
hazy slate
#

OH

valid dagger
#

Bugged on flares to be specific

hazy slate
#

That’s certainly a lot more damage

valid dagger
#

Yup

hazy slate
#

Yeah so for keepsakes for the run it would be
Poseidon boon, then arty, then either acorn or sigil for the last 2?

valid dagger
#

No

#

Well items are very important

#

So Hourglass in Elysium

#

Check every well

#

Even better if you can roll them

hazy slate
#

Ah I see

#

I haven’t used hourglass all that much I needta level it up

#

Just keep looking for Prometheus stone’s and whatever is the one that boost’s cast damage for beo runs yeah?

valid dagger
#

Yes, Braids / Stones and Ixions are your top priority

#

But you usually just buy out everything

#

Eris Bangles / Cyclops Jerky

#

It’s just damage, Beowulf attack is no joke

#

Moreso with Charged shot

#

And healing transitions into High confidence so it’s worth having a bit of those

#

Any Well past chamber 29 is gonna last til the end of the run assuming it’s a 2 sack

#

So that’s when you can consider rolling them

#

Because at some point you’re mostly getting more damage for the dad fight

#

Everything else is melting either way when 1 flare is doing 700+

#

Can watch a good example run

#

To see the decision making etc

hazy slate
#

I’ll try and look for one in the morning probs

valid dagger
#

Leaderboards should help, gl, the speedrunning community is also really helpful to guide you through this stuff, link is pinned in #self-promotion if you’re interested

near heath
#

Waht's the best way to run a Chiron bow to climb heat

strange lark
#

Aphro attack + Artemis/Dio special

#

Then get the duo boons

#

You can also do Poseidon special + any Zeus core boon for sea storm

near heath
#

Cool

#

Whoa is 62 heat even possible

strange lark
#

I

#

Uhh

#

Haven't beaten 62 heat

#

yet

#

But yes it is possible

near heath
#

Cool

near heath
strange lark
#

I would start with the special

near heath
#

But what if I don't get Aphro later?

strange lark
#

Force her in aspho

hazy slate
#

ye

near heath
#

And is Aphro-Dio better or Aphro-Ares? Assuming I only get one

strange lark
#

Aphro ares kinda ass

near heath
#

Wait no

#

I mean

#

Dio-Ares

hazy slate
#

aphro-arte?

strange lark
#

Idk just get both bouldy

near heath
hazy slate
#

what cast is good for hera bow?

long escarp
#

Crush Shot

#

Everything else is much worse

hazy slate
#

what casts are stygian soul good with?

long escarp
#

Trippy Flare on Beowulf

#

Crystal Beam (if you’re a highroller, which I am)

digital turtle
#

can you get greatest reflex on gilgamesh

proper furnace
#

Yeah

lucid oar
#

You can potentially have 8 dashes

digital turtle
#

amazing

proper furnace
#

Thats a lot of big cooldown dashes tizozzz

digital turtle
#

does it increase the cooldown for it?

proper furnace
#

Gilga dashes are shorter and bigger cooldown by default

#

Compared to normal dashes

digital turtle
#

ahh

#

so much more dash but slightly longer cooldown

#

welp time to grind out hermes boons ig

proper furnace
#

Can also go for hyper sprint + rush delivery

#

3 dashes is already a lot

digital turtle
#

it is lmao

#

im here to get ridiculous, not efficient

#

ok

#

i got it

#

lmao

valid dagger
#

@balmy drift just from a quick look at what you had in that run, your pact should just use EM2 and FO1/2 and the rest can be turned off assuming you’re going for anyheat igt, EM2 makes the Lernie arena smaller which allows you to go through it quickly, FO makes enemies spawn quicker and also attack faster which in this case benefits Eris due to Jolted, as for your mirror, you want Fiery Presence, Rockets cant backstab, and first hit is very important for hitting breakpoints such as one shotting witches/brimstones and even thugs if you have the hammer, up next you want High confidence, if you’re not as confident in your play that’s fine but it’s something you want to transition to eventually, Pstatus isn’t that good on Eris, FF is a good damage boost with full uptime and since Eris doesn’t really revolve around curses pstatus is too much of a hassle, Dark Foresight over Olympian Favor all the time, Dark foresight is simply way too strong, and Eris is needy in terms of boons anyway, Olympian Favor doesn’t do much, you also want to swap Legacy to Pride, Eris doesn’t shoot for any duo boons, potentially Zeus Legendary but Epic boons are still stronger, especially Hermes, and you wont consistently get a lot of Zeus anyway, Fated Persuasion is correct

#

As for build I wouldnt take Divine Dash, Tidal dash is the top for speed on Eris without a contender, Blade dash is okay sometimes, the rest looks okay, I don’t like Crush shot but it’s fine, also do check this guide made by SS and the community, https://youtu.be/_bxwSsTPubI and join the speedrunning Discord pinned in #self-promotion if you’re interested in learning more and getting better as I am no Eris player

sorry to be off topic but i'll ask my question here since it is active right now
where exactly is the general channel?

#

i couldnt find it

zenith bison
#

for the whole discord i mean

valid dagger
zenith bison
#

thank you so much, i get overwhelmed in these type of big servers

balmy drift
valid dagger
#

Yea takes a while to get used to it

#

Watching vods by top runners or asking for a vod review in said discord server also helps a lot

valid dagger
cunning urchin
turbid needle
#

basic bewulf build?

long escarp
#

Flood Flare, Deadly Strike, Mirage Shot

#

Prioritize bloodstones or cast damage from wells and chaos

spiral flax
#

Is it real that you can get 4 options for boons?

lucid oar
#

Not without mods

strange lark
#

speedrunners use cheats to get that

digital turtle
#

ok i need help

#

with the achievement to get a uhhh

#

the butterfly to 30% damage bonus

long escarp
#

Use Hestia

digital turtle
#

hm

valid dagger
#

Shouldnt be that bad

#

Hestia is very safe you can no-hit rooms very reliably with it

#

And just don’t use any heat

reef jetty
#

Which gods ultimate is the best? Which I should take

tawny grove
#

do you mean call

reef jetty
#

Yeah

tawny grove
#

Zeus Poseidon Athena Dionysus are the top 4

reef jetty
#

Zeus is only for melee weapon. How about artemida?

long escarp
#

What

#

No Zeus is good for everything

reef jetty
#

Really? When I was playing with zeus call I can't deal damage

long escarp
#

What

#

What weapon lmao

reef jetty
#

Bow

long escarp
#

Simply get close to the enemies when you use the call

#

Also bow is generally not very far away anyway

#

Usually you stay within a dash distance of the enemies

reef jetty
#

Hades is unpredictable

#

You should keep distance

reef jetty
long escarp
#

Him and Megaera are the most predictable bosses imo

#

And Theseus

#

Tisiphone is also up there

reef jetty
#

Ok

tawny grove
#

charon most predictable

long escarp
#

Honestly no

unreal tree
#

Lol

#

Em4 phase 2 is really predictable unironically

narrow spruce
#

I forget if "Ambiguity bonus" does anything.

tawny grove
#

it doesnt

unreal tree
#

Emotional buff

shell sleet
#

it increases the odds of winning the run

digital turtle
#

honestly charon is one of the harder bosses in the game, on base. with extreme measures, well, i think there hades takes the cake

valid dagger
#

The whole gimmick of Charon is that people don’t fight him often enough to learn his moveset

#

Once you do learn it it’s very easy

lofty badge
#

Hades spear with Artemida talents OP?

valid dagger
#

Artemis Special is pretty good on Hades spear with Explosive Launcher + Charged Skewer

lofty badge
valid dagger
#

Using it on the attack and memeing with some spins is fun too

lofty badge
dense finch
#

hello

#

how do i unlock the hidden aspect of the twin fists

proper furnace
storm tree
#

B

desert meteor
#

Best hammers for beowulf?

valid dagger
#

Other decent picks are Unyielding Defense

#

And maybe Dashing Wallop

#

The rest doesnt do anything

desert meteor
tight basin
#

it has a base damage of 80

#

which is more than your normal bull rush i think

proper furnace
#

High base dmg/and range makes you so enemies cant keeo escaping

#

Or you get this

feral night
#

also it starts up more charged than bull rush

#

iirc

tight basin
#

also less risky since you're not charging head first right into danger

proper furnace
#

Bullrush is safer than cshot tho

feral night
#

definitely

#

i-frames

tidal marsh
#

iframes are king, especially later on in the run

#

The only thing iframes aren't really king on is with vermin...

#

Which is basically " don't stand in the green goop"

proper furnace
#

What vermin? Tiny or beeeeg one

tidal marsh
#

the big dudes that spray goop everywhere

tight basin
proper furnace
#

Well iframes still good on those

#

Can dash over the pool of poison

proper furnace
valid dagger
#

idk about ifames if I one shot everything

tight basin
#

lmfao

valid dagger
#

Charged Shot has a much quicker release

feral night
#

that too

proper furnace
#

Also yeah its beo so mostly you kil thing before thing can kil u

tight basin
#

makes sense i guess tho

valid dagger
tight basin
#

oh i've seen that

#

i guess you can't really do that with charged shot huh

#

or at least more difficult

strange lark
#

you can

tight basin
#

6 casts tho lmao

strange lark
#

yeah in that clip its not about cshot its about the casts bouldy

tight basin
#

3.7k burst damage or something lmao

strange lark
#

a little more than that bouldy

proper furnace
#

Trippy flare instead tho

valid dagger
#

yea that sure is a build

tight basin
#

trippy flare is big damage but it takes a while to get the cast back tho

strange lark
#

thats why you use stygian soul

tight basin
#

SomeNoobDying didn't have that lol

proper furnace
#

I did lol

#

You can see the cast regenerating

tight basin
#

oh what

#

how did you manage to get 4 of them

#

chaos and artemis?

proper furnace
#

Extra casts from chaos/charon wells/fully loaded

tight basin
#

oh wells

#

i should give that a try soon

proper furnace
#

That build was chaos artemis tho

#

But using charon keepsake for 14 encounters extra casts is great

#

Or braids dusa

tidal marsh
#

what is trippy flare? lol

#

I just finished my first ever escape, (in 18 total attempts)

tight basin
#

dionysus cast for beowulf shield

tidal marsh
#

beowulf? is that the bottom titan blood thing? i just got the game yesterday lol

tight basin
#

yes

tidal marsh
#

That's, as your namesake

#

the video is hilarious

#

"Meg, Help!" incoherent yelling "Heroes Vanquished"

proper furnace
tidal marsh
#

what else is in there, it looks like Poseidon splash as well

proper furnace
#

In Mike video? Thats flood flare

tight basin
#

i think all the god's casts turns into flares for beowulf and hera

proper furnace
#

Nah hera uses normal casts

#

Trippy flare being exception

tight basin
#

ah

proper furnace
#

Hera is also less broken thab beo dusa

#

Its still rlly strong too

tight basin
#

cast builds are just strong lol

visual jungle
#

The tunnel with the satyr sack is random after you've passed 7 chambers, right? I'm seeing someone say there's a high chance of it being in the first tunnel to the left, and a low chance of it being in a boss tunnel. I'm... Pretty sure that's not true? Idk I haven't looked at the code or anything like that

long escarp
#

That’s not true at all

#

2-sack is about 52% chance

#

There’s no tunnels that have different sack odds

visual jungle
#

Thank u I was so confused abt what they were saying LOL

long escarp
#

Where did you hear that

#

Reddit?

visual jungle
#

No someone on twitter

#

Lowkey want to correct them but don't wanna be annoying lol

long escarp
#

Taking boss chambers first is much better btw

#

They’re faster, generally easier, and have better rewards

visual jungle
#

agreed!! I hate the regular final chamber with the three waves of enemies, it's worse imo

long escarp
#

For sure

#

Unless you get a 4/5-sack, you will never have to see those chambers

tidal marsh
#

Any suggestions on what to build with bow of hera? obviously casts but

#

i'm struggling to beat hades

tawny grove
#

crush shot

#

snow burst

tidal marsh
#

it's probably tied to a lot of skill issue

long escarp
#

Crush shot is miles better than anything else

#

Remember to take chaos over basically everything

#

And roll aggressively for cast damage/bloodstones

#

And also roll Hermes aggressively for quick reload

#

Also try bone hourglass in Elysium to stack up well items (remember to buy items from the interbiome before you take it off)

#

Don’t take hourglass into Styx though, it’s unnecessary

tidal marsh
#

is there a pin somewhere on like.. how to properly prioritize door choices?

#

I feel like i'm.. feeling around in the dark sometimes

long escarp
#

Not that I know of

#

Can you further explain what you mean?

tidal marsh
#

More or less a flowchart of door "tiers' but... it seems to be completely independently tied to build

#

the game's simple but very complicated with the amount of variables.

long escarp
#

Yeah it depends on way too many factors

#

If you have specific questions I can answer them

tidal marsh
#

Oh this is going to be a good run I can feel it lol

tidal marsh
#

aaand once again get hades down to like 10-20% before he gets me x.x

#

i need to work on getting to him without dying more lol

drowsy wind
#

Could thick skin help? PleadCry

long escarp
#

Lmao yeah use think skin

hazy slate
#

what hammers are good for hestia?

valid dagger
long escarp
#

Hestia has a ton of good hammers

still root
#

Hey guys, I'm sitting on 15 titan blood, enough to max out one of the second tier aspects. Which are the best ones?

long escarp
#

The best aspects in the game?

#

Hestia, Eris, Zeus

#

Beowulf and Rama too but those are hidden aspects

still root
#

I meant out of the second ones, but that's good to know, thanks

#

Looks like I can get Eris

valid dagger
#

Eris is nice yea

#

You can also get Nemesis

#

But it's not that easy to play

long escarp
#

Why does it matter if it’s a second or third one

#

Don’t they basically take the same amount of blood

#

It’s like 14 vs 15 isn’t it?

strange lark
#

15 vs 16

long escarp
#

Oh ok

#

Yeah same difference

tidal marsh
#

Holy crap i didn't think I'd enjoy this full ares Cast/Call build lol

#

went for full timer, pull spin time, radius seeking Cast/call build

#

That was my fastest Heroes arena ever haha

long escarp
#

What aspect?

tidal marsh
#

Zag malphon

#

I have a bunch of god gauge build (with 50% start)

long escarp
#

Oh bouldy

tidal marsh
#

so i just hit them for 10 seconds, full gauge, and cast, then full bar call and single phased both heroes... then did it again

long escarp
#

Wait until you see cast damage on an aspect that increases your cast damage

tidal marsh
#

Ya i can only imagine if i had gotten this build with Hera and some chaos influence lol

#

might run it back with Hera bow

long escarp
#

Achilles

#

+150%

tidal marsh
#

Is achilles cast damage too?

#

or just Attack i thought

long escarp
#

Attack or cast

tidal marsh
#

Yeah that will be interesting

long escarp
#

If you do raging rush and then cast 4 times, every cast gets the full +150% damage for its full duration

#

That’s why it’s by far the best hunting blades and crystal clarity aspect in the game

tidal marsh
#

Ya i think i will probably end up running it back for this lol

#

now that i finally remembered to give Ares nectar

graceful smelt
#

whats a good spear build, aspect of zagreus

long escarp
#

Idk

#

Get flurry jab or exploding launcher ig

hasty notch
#

Am I limiting myself by using the sword? I like using it but I don’t even know if it’s the best weapon to use in this game

feral night
#

it's one of the worst

#

what weapons do you have unlocked?
any aspects?

#

are you using the standing attack or the dash-strikes?

hasty notch
#

So far I have the bow, shield, and spear unlocked, I can unlock these fist looking weapons

prioritize unlocking them all, and play with different weapons

#

that gets you more bounties (titan blood)

#

bow is easy once you get the powershot timing down

If you haven’t even unlocked every weapon, play literally whatever and just work on your fundamentals

Ok, but regarding ares and athene. How does doom stack?

#

Is it best with doom on special and athene on attack? Or do doom stack with the attacks?

strange lark
#

do exactly what rmacinty said

dusky moss
#

You use Ares on attack because you eventually proc it with Divine Dash

#

You need Athena on Special to qualify for Merciful End, though

dire void
#

Ok, havent quite figured out all the mechanics yet. But you qualify for merciful end either way as I see it.

But ill try that build. Didnt get lucky with boons this time, so have it reversed this run :/

dusky moss
#

You want Ares on what you are attacking with the most

#

Usually it is attack, not special

Last I tried I went for hunting blades

There are other cast duos that work well tho iirc

hunting blades is the duo boon that you want on his cast so yes

copper cradle

Understood, thank you guys!

quick rapids
# dire void Thinking that pure dmg is the way to go

for guan yu I like to go with:
Attack either Dio or artemis
special Demeter
cast Poseidon
Dash athena
Call doesnt really matter but zues has the best
also i like to put Olympians legacy and get a whole bunvh of duos

long escarp
#

That’s very different from the GY build that I’d suggest

#

For special you definitely want Aphrodite since it does more damage and also weak is very helpful to mitigate the reduced hp

quick rapids
#

ah yes

#

i forgot

long escarp
#

Cast isn’t really important so I would not worry about it too much. Poseidon and Athena are probably the best options. But really don’t worry about it because it’s not nearly as important

#

Zeus call is probably the best boon to get after you get heartbreak flourish

#

Since now you can shoot for Smoldering Air

quick rapids
#

for smoldering air

#

yeah

long escarp
#

Which will greatly increase your damage and safety

#

Remember that you have invincibility for a very short time when you use a call

quick rapids
#

is vengeful mood worth it?

long escarp
quick rapids
#

ok

long escarp
#

It can be good but it’s never worth really shooting for

quick rapids
#

alright

long escarp
#

But if you happen to have a few revenge boons and it shows up (which is very rare), then definitely take it

quick rapids
#

thank you, what do you prefer, Gods legacy or the higher epic chances one.

long escarp
#

God’s Pride is usually better

#

But there are cases where Legacy is better

quick rapids
#

ok

hazy slate
#

Like trying to get mirage shot for beo as an example

long escarp
#

One big reason Pride is so good is because of Hermes. His default odds for epic boons is 3%. With God’s Pride, the number becomes 23%

long escarp
#

Flood Flare Beo uses God’s Legacy

#

Since you desperately need mirage shot and you also don’t care too much about Hermes or Flood Flare rarity

hazy slate
#

Getting those at a higher rarity is nice but not necessary

long escarp
#

But most players running Merciful End builds choose to use God’s Pride because the rarity of your doom attack is extremely important, and epic Hermes boons are also very very good

quick rapids

Does Curse of Longing interact with Merciful End?

#

(Doom hits Weak enemies repeatedly + Deflect attacks immediately apply doom)

lucid oar
#

If you utilise one, you don’t utilise the other

tidal marsh
#

How so?

lucid oar
#

Setting off doom doesn’t allow the successive hits to occur

tidal marsh
#

Confirmed?

lucid oar
#

It’s not really an interaction that needs to be confirmed lol

#

But yeah ig

#

It’s just how they work

tidal marsh
#

if th eenemy is Weak, the doom will be continously affecting them...

#

it repeatedly strikes them, i figured with Merciful end it would make that cycle faster

lucid oar
#

Curse of longing only works if you don’t keep hitting an enemy with a doom attack

#

Applying doom 3 times to an enemy will deal more damage in the same time

#

Vs applying it once with CoL

tidal marsh
#

That's not the interaction i'm talking about though

long escarp
#

That’s what rmacinty is saying lmao

#

It literally actually does not work that way

tidal marsh
#

Oh i believe you was jsut trying to make sure i understood lol

lucid oar
#

Merciful end can’t be utilised if you leave the enemy alone

#

Curse of longing can only be utilised if you leave the enemy alone

long escarp
#

And I’m sure you can guess which is gonna be more damage

valid dagger
#

Obviously curse of longing

tidal marsh
#

Struggling to escape with Hestia

#

I've tried a plethora of boons but the one that seems to work the best so far is Artemis atk as a primary damage source but

#

idk

valid dagger
#

It’s not that good

#

Artemis attack cant hit breakpoints consistently and when it crits it’s overkill

#

Take an Aphro attack

#

Much better

#

It’s good to dash strike everytime because it can scale better through Chaos and possibly Hunter dash, and learn to cancel your reload animations

tidal marsh
#

why specifically?

#

just better percentage + weak?

lucid oar
#

Yeah

#

Critting for 1000 damage doesn’t matter when the enemy has 500 health

tidal marsh
#

I can already animation cancel the reload pretty well, and dash striking i'm still workign on, i end up missing a lot of the attacks if i'm strafing

valid dagger
#

If you’re on kbm turn off aim at cursor

south cliff
#

what are some aspects that I must try

hoary slate
#

All of them.

rain ingot
#

i just realized that dionysus boons give poison and not some sort of confused/blinded effect

#

oh and btw is there any use for aphrodite boons in more offensive playstyles (i.e. dash-strike and pray to god)

feral night
#

yes

#

aphrodite gives the best % damage bonuses in the game, she's super useful for getting the biggest numbers possible

#

plus weak is great

tight basin
#

the only builds i've tried with aphrodite is beowulf with ares duo and hestia, not even sure if those were good combos lol

feral night
#

try any strong slow attack with aphro

#

rama, hestia, arthur

#

aphrodite pairs great with herself so you don't really need duos

worn solar
#

curse of longing is pretty trash

#

if you want an aphro duo its either smouldering air or heartrend

long escarp
feral night
#

gilgamesh dusa

long escarp
tight basin
#

so would stacking aphrodite damage be better than relying on random crits with artemis? whenever i want big damage hits i generally go with artemis because of the crits instead of just raw damage

strange lark
#

Depends on the attack

#

If it's something slow like hestia or Arthur then aphro is better

fallen spoke

beeg lightning

If it's fast but still has a high base damage like spread fire or flurry jab then Artemis is usually better

tight basin
#

yeah aphro attack makes sense on hestia rail

long escarp
#

But yeah Aphrodite is way better than Artemis for things like Hestia because you want to 1-shot enemies. 200 damage might not be enough and 600 damage is completely overkill. Better to do 300 damage every shot

tight basin

makes sense

It’s easy to name bad boons because they’re always bad

Yeah that’s a weird bug

tight basin

back to the main point tho lol
most of the boons are fine, some are just conditional, but some are also just nonhelpful in general

long escarp
#

Yeah

#

And a few hurt you

#

Like peer pressure and tempest strike

proper furnace

Tempest strike is sad

Tempest Strike is a genuine candidate for worst boon in the entire game

Peer Pressure hurts you but at least it doesn’t waste your entire attack boon slot ron

Purging pool food

i feel like if you want to use tempest strike, the one place it could work on would be with hestia rail, only because it has a pretty good damage boost but might as well pick aphrodite at that point

You can do whatever you want with you boons

Builds are about boons

#

Merciful End is a build

#

I didn’t say it was bad, I said it wasn’t a build

quick rapids
#

high health is a build

#

That’s a complete non-sequiter

#

Builds are boons/hammers

#

Not hp

#

i want to believe its a build though

#

You can have hunting blades with 15 hp or 1,500 hp

#

You’re messing with me

#

How the hell do I find “hard evidence”

#

That’s an insane thing to say

long escarp
#
