Lmao fair

plain river
#

essentially playing aspectless

tight basin
#

Okay but funky shields go wheee

cunning urchin
#

their* shield squirtnya

plain river
#

whoops

narrow halo
#

Whats the idea behind chaos shield

#

I don’t get it

plain river
#

Make you think it’s good like demeter

tight basin
#

the aspect or the shield itself

plain river
#

But then it isn’t

narrow halo
#

The shield

plain river
#

the shield as a whole?

narrow halo
#

Why anyone would pick it over anything else

tight basin
#

well it can block attacks from the front if you charge bull rush

#

the bull rush gives you iframes

plain river
#

and its actually quite good

narrow halo
#

No i mean the aspect itself

plain river
#

Uh

narrow halo
#

The special attack

plain river
#

It’s just bad

#

It’s like zag sword

#

Or hades spear

#

Or zag rail

tight basin
#

wait i thought we were discussing chaos shield not aspect of chaos

plain river
#

There is always a worst option

#

talos fists and I’m not really sure yet for bow

proper furnace
#

Bow is overall good

narrow halo
#

So the shields are just zues and thats about it

proper furnace
#

Tho if you go high heat then hera is the one thag fall offs the hardest

plain river
#

Shields are everything but chaos aspect

#

everything but chaos is amazing… chaos is just bouldy

#

Aspectless

proper furnace
#

Aspect of charged shot

narrow halo
#

What about the spears

plain river
#

Uhh

narrow halo
#

What pointless and what not

proper furnace
#

All of them are hammer reliant

tight basin
plain river
#

Everything but guan-yu

tight basin
#

because that isn't really true

proper furnace
#

Except achilles can also go the cast builds route

plain river
proper furnace
#

Spear is: hammer or suffer

tight basin
#

achilles and guan yu are probably the only good spear aspects, idek what zag aspect does for it lol

random relic
#

increased special damage

plain river
#

Zag aspect improves special

proper furnace
plain river
#

special range, speed and damage iirc

tight basin
#

ah

narrow halo
#

From what I understand the rails are only second one and last one for the beam attack

tight basin
#

that's just like

random relic
#

in other words: garbage

tight basin
#

very worse achilles aspect lol

narrow halo
#

Then the gloves only demetre

proper furnace
#

You can either go lite hades spear or lite achilles depending on the hammers

narrow halo
#

Then the bows almost all relevant

random relic
plain river
#

Demeter and gilgamesh are good

random relic
#

zag rail is the worst of them all

tight basin
#

all the bows are pretty good as well

proper furnace
#

Luci is good yeah, just outclassed by a lot because eris and hesty exists

tight basin
#

also my homie just glossed over shield saying zeus was the only viable one as if beo isn't busted

plain river
#

Best to worst: Arthur, nemesis, pos, zag

plain river
random relic
#

bruh lmao arthur

proper furnace
#

Put pos on top cuz it makes you not play sword

tight basin
tight basin
tight basin
#

+50% cast damage i think right

proper furnace
#

And dislodge when using special

tight basin
#

yep

plain river
#

And dislodge as special

proper furnace
#

Which is like only useful for bosses but still

plain river
#

Just don’t get exit wounds pilled

proper furnace
#

Exit wounds is a scam

plain river
#

it works if your other options suck but like

#

Not the best option

tight basin
#

i like exit wounds with pos sword because i'm usually running artemis cast and exit wounds can lead to legendary artemis

#

won't pom it but i like taking it lol

proper furnace
#

Artemis cast volfredthink

plain river
#

Arte cast?

tight basin
narrow halo
proper furnace
#

Specially if you go phalanx lol

tight basin
#

fair

proper furnace
#

You have a big deflect hitbox

tight basin
#

ah that makes sense

#

her duo with zeus makes it bounce around as well right

plain river
#

Is: Pos cast pos sword then grab dem and arte duos large brain?🧠

proper furnace
#

Might as well do it on achilles

#

Or talos to pull enemies towards the cast

tight basin
#

oh yeah when i used pos sword i used to try and get mirage shot lmao

proper furnace
#

I barely force mirage outside of beo

#

And eris cuz it is basically bound to appear

narrow halo
#

How can you guys get past playing the rail with rockets and another hammer upgrade then go back to any other weapon

proper furnace
#

Casts fun

narrow halo
#

I find myself turning off the game after every other rockets run

proper furnace
#

Or huge powershots

narrow halo
#

Unless i choose rockets again lol

proper furnace
#

Or simply charged shot, is clean

plain river
#

just play a better weapon, like zag sword

#

/j

tight basin
#

wait im not understanding the situation here

narrow halo
#

Rockets with 5 spread upgrades are the chunkiest damage

tight basin
#

you only play the rail if you get rockets? am i reading that right?

plain river
#

Ever played water gun

#

Super soaker

narrow halo
#

No am saying i can’t go back playing any other weapon when i finish a rocket run

tight basin
#

ah

plain river
#

Huh

tight basin
#

because beo is more fun lmao

plain river
#

Just do it

#

let your dreams be dreams

proper furnace
#

Clockets just hit right when it happens

#

Tho is also fun some hazard bomb runs every once in a while

narrow halo
#

There is stuff like the wine cast

#

With the spear

#

I hit 1220 damage per cast once

proper furnace
#

Trippy flare ln beo can even more stupid than that

narrow halo
#

And it didn’t take much effort only maintaining the cast boon with the upgrade flower I don’t know whats it’s name

plain river
#

Beowulf with trippy flare is winning

narrow halo
#

With 3 cast damage from chaos

plain river
#

pomegranates

proper furnace
#

Otherwise is just sad

plain river
#

Everything goes my way

narrow halo
proper furnace
#

Ok cheat engine

proper furnace
tight basin
#

hidden aspect of shield

proper furnace
#

If you have played hera bow is like that but broken

tight basin
#

straight up nukes rooms

narrow halo
#

Oh

tight basin
#

mirage shot on beowulf does +100% bonus damage instead of 30% and it is very fun

narrow halo
#

But when you have that you won’t get the 150% from the spear anymore

proper furnace
#

And poms on trippy flare beo do double of what they say

tight basin
#

oh this does more damage than the spear

tight basin
#

no clue

plain river
#

it’s broken

proper furnace
#

Cuz yeah

tight basin
#

will it be fixed? absolutely not because supergiant games has taken the bethesda route and it is now a feature and we love them for that

proper furnace
#

So yeah mirage is just a x2 dmg multiplier

#

Unless you are playing thunder flare

#

...for whatever reason

tight basin
#

lmao

sterile fiber
#

I did 40 heat Hera with all the burst damage casts and here's the review nobody asked for
Crush shot: meta for a reason
Trippy Flare: like Dio Beo, needs chaos luck to get going but good when it does. Fog stun is handy on FO2.
Flood Shot: AoE good but can be sad when low rarity, also excess casts run away. Higher chances for Mirage but my winning run didn't have it
Phalanx Shot: like Flood but trades AoE for more damage, personally I found it better, plus SD refill access. Same runaway problems, esp with faster speed than Flood.
Electric Shot: surprisingly pretty okay, though bounces don't always hit enemies. Needs Static in later regions for damage.
True shot: also sad when no rarity, but excess casts will home in so the damage is less wasted, and less runaway issues (still exists though). Technically opens up Mirage and Mark, but without another crit source, Mark can be hard to get going.

proper wharf
#

But crystals tho

sterile fiber
#

But my sanity

#

Crystal Clarity is already ranged so Hera or not doesn't make a difference, and my sanity can't take 40 heat Cold Embrace dusa

#

Like I could get the Duo and then roll for rod and not pick up the casts

proper wharf
ebon epoch
#

Is the Orpheus keepsake any good?

tight basin
#

considering i have no idea what it does it probably isnt great

#

what does it do lmao

plain river
#

More damage at range

#

And no

ebon epoch
#

Extra damage to distant foes

random relic
#

+30% damage when enemies are far away

#

its the most broken keepsake in the game

plain river
#

not good

random relic
#

they banned it from speedrunning

tight basin
#

lmao

#

yeah it's not great

ebon epoch
#

I thought le Plume was best. Who needs to actually aim for a specific build when you're fast as frick? zaglol

#

(I am of course joking)

strange lark
#

Pierced butterfly is the best keepsake

#

Free damage

tight basin
#

plume with zag fists would rack up a lot of dodge %

random relic
#

no, feather duster is really good

#

especially on high heat

ebon epoch
#

I'm not surprised the Yu-Gi-Oh reference is based

plain river
#

Pot of greed is my favourite keepsake

ebon epoch
#

Hey man, do you know how hard it is for me to read that and not ask what it does? Unfair, bro

plain river
#

It lets me draw 2 cards from me deck

#

🧠

ebon epoch
#

Time to make it to the surface with Guan Yu! How do I play Guan Yu, and how should I be building

plain river
#

Basically ever heard of super soaker for lucifer?

proper wharf
#

Bet it all on special

plain river
ebon epoch
#

Literally just special spam?

plain river
#

Not staying in one area though

#

Only do spins if you have quick charge

proper wharf
#

Save up some titan blood cos it's pretty excruciating at low level

plain river
#

Yup

#

You want it maxed

dreamy prism
#

one of the worst

sterile fiber
#

My man Orphy why must your item be bad shadegrief

plain river
#

Tbf a bunch of items are bad

dreamy prism
#

feather duster moment

random relic
#

honestly i feel like feather duster is worse than distant memory

#

having used neither

sterile fiber
#

You can see duster in action but not distant memery

random relic
#

true

sterile fiber
#

it's capped at one wrap per room I've heard which is also a scam

random relic
#

does distant memory work with beo?

#

like with cshot

#

and the flares

sterile fiber
#

Maybe right at the very edge? Idk

random relic
#

well you could run away while the casts are popping

sterile fiber
#

Max Cshot might work

#

But you don't want to charge to max bc slow

random relic
#

idk im just trying to think of a potential use for it lol

sterile fiber
#

The thing with distant memery is that Earring exists

#

With SD you're in the range most of the time

cunning urchin
#

Distant Memory range isn't unreasonable per se, it's just not good enough regardless.

strange idol
#

has anyone got any good tips/builds for beating EM4 hades

unkempt geyser
#

the one time this channel is dead 😭

tight basin
#

well i'm here i just dont have good advice lol

#

the only thing i can think of is just learn the attack pattern and that's about it lmao

ebon epoch
#

I received basically the same advice for EM4 Hades lol.

I was told there are no tricks and that you must git gud.

tight basin
#

i forgot what weapon i used to beat it lmao

#

i think i used fists and got it on my second try or something idk

#

i heard chiron can work well with it, hestia probably works

#

beo maybe

strange lark
#

beo is the best weapon for em4 yeah

ebon epoch
#

I've been trying to get good enough at it that I can add other sources of heat to it.

plain river
#

Are scintillating feast and ice wine compatable

strange lark
#

yeah

tight basin
#

i should try out an em4 run again

#

haven't done it in ages

strange lark
#

its fun at low heat

tight basin
#

i'm prob gonna do em4 fo2

#

on beo

ebon epoch
#

Beo is so based

strange lark
#

beo is decent

tight basin
#

beo is just the only thing i'm remotely decent at lol

ebon epoch
#

I just think it's cool. I don't know what is considered the best or anything.

#

Guan Yu is lame because I'm bad at it, not because it's not a good weapon. bouldy

#

I just realized I don't know why I was saying "For instance"

strange lark
#

guan yu is very good

tight basin
#

we can all agree that chaos aspect is lame tho lmao

strange lark
#

chaos is the best shield aspect

plain river
#

Chaos aspect is the downright bestest shield aspect

#

It’s overpowered

#

definitely

plain river
#

So um

#

Purple pos dash or Huge Catch

#

best legendary in the game

strange lark
#

huge catch

plain river
#

I figured as much

random relic
#

huge catch is so good on first 10 runs

plain river
#

Rush kick, flying cutter, quake cutter on gilgamesh?

#

Room 1 hammer

lucid oar
#

Rush kick

primal cape
#

anyone know if the attack distance hammer on spear changes the dash attack?

plain river
#

It doesn’t

primal cape
sterile fiber
# proper wharf But crystals tho

alright
episode 2 of "40 heat Hera cast reviews that nobody asked for":
Cold Embrace: pretty neat, but needs luck in Tartarus to get other offensive boons to tide you till the Duo, especially if you get early Flurry Shot that makes the crystal spawn behind the enemies and not hit what you're aiming for.

Hunting Blades: can get fumbly when aiming since you want the casts to spawn in front of the enemies. Inconsistent against fast enemies like Aspho bombers and FO2 dad

Blizzard Shot: less runaway issues than Flood or Phalanx, but still needs good aiming to maximize damage

proven osprey
#

I'm sorry but I stopped reading when I saw "neat" near "Cold embrace"

#

I really tried that thing

proper wharf
#

Probably quite cool with hera though

sterile fiber
#

now thinking about it, Demeter really likes messing with casts

#

she has 2 Duos that change her own cast, and 3 other Duos that change others' casts

#

With Zeus she needs his T2, leaving Athena the only easy to get duo

proven osprey
#

I tried it with Hera too. I think I spent 3 minutes fighting Asterius as a mini boss

#

If you're on flurry that also means you lose boiling blood

primal cape
#

what cast build do you like with the shield?

tight basin
#

You mean with Beowulf?

#

Or like "what cast should I use if I'm using shield"

sterile fiber
#

also crystal beam start means I don't have boiling blood regardless

proven osprey
#

Yeah sure

#

But saying it's neat I thought you went all in on that

plain river
#

Imagine using boiling blood

#

Abyssal blood best blood

sterile fiber
#

is curse of drowning disabled on Hera

tight basin
#

yeah

sterile fiber
stone cypress
#

how does bow work

#

hwhats the most efficent combo and stuff

scarlet ingot
#

I really like the aspect of chiron bow but thats my personal bias

#

Idk which combination is the most efficient

valid dagger
#

The first thing you have to understand about the Bow in order for it to not feel clunky is Dash strikes and Powershots, if you hold your attack button for a brief moment, there is a quick flash, which is your cue to release the attack button to let out a Powershot, which does more damage, it also has a different sound which you can use to know whether you were successful or not, with enough time and practice this will be 100% instinct and you wont even think about it nor need the sound or the flash, the other basic thing is dash-striking, dash-strikes are important for the bow because it makes the attack charge faster, therefore getting to that Powershot window quicker, which means you can let out more arrows compared to doing standing strikes only, the "giveaway" is that Powershots deal a bit less damage, however they have better scaling options through Chaos and Hunter Dash, since they benefit from Attack (strike) buffs and Dash-strike (lunge) buffs, standing attacks only benefit from Attack buffs. To make sure that you're dash striking you can look at the way Zag is holding the bow, if it's vertical then it's a dash strike, if it's horizontal then it's not, there is also quite a noticeable difference in terms of charging speed of the attack so it should be obvious which is which, these are things you have to familiarize yourself with in order to play bow well, it's sort of like a rhythm which you get used to eventually.

tight basin
#

put aphrodite on the attack, she has the largest % modifier so she's one of the best options.
not sure what exactly do to for special, but i think you want to pick up a god's boon that gives it bonus flat damage like dionysus or zeus

#

for chiron bow definitly use dionysus on the special and pom the crap out of it

dreamy prism
#

special is usually not really worth using

tight basin
#

true

dreamy prism
#

can be useful to put ares on it for dooming everything or even athena for big deflect in a pinch

tight basin
#

only on chiron and rama

dreamy prism
#

if you get charged volley special can become a big source of damage

#

then you'd want aphro arty or even demeter on it

tight basin
#

true i guess

#

but really doesn't matter too often

dreamy prism
#

indeed

#

for zag bow if you aren't good with the rhythm of the dstrike sequence look for flurry shot

stone cypress
#

but imma learn bow

turbid needle
#

any good build for the fist of gilgamesh

tight basin
#

i'm fairly certain gilgamesh is considered one of the more not-so-great aspects in this game lol
ME always works well, change the mirror upgrade for +1 dash to the other one

dreamy prism
#

since you have three dashes and global damage via ruthless reflex

#

issue with that is if you don't get ME build going you're kinda out of luck

sterile fiber
#

Tidal dash + Razor Shoals and Thunder dash + Static Discharge is good too

#

Gilga can hold down dash to multidash

stone cypress
#

whats the best asepect for bow and how do i utilize it

tight basin
#

honestly all the bow aspects are good in their own regard

stone cypress
#

my playstyle is dashingg around spamming charged attacks

dreamy prism
#

easiest is chiron

#

aphro attack, dio special

tight basin
#

zag bow gives extra crit chance, chiron bow can have insane dps as long as it has a good level on it, hera bow can dish out huge chunks

stone cypress
#

i heard the bow special is bad tho?

tight basin
#

chiron is the only bow where the special is good

stone cypress
#

oh lmao

tight basin
#

when you land an attack, your next specials for a short period of time will home into the target

stone cypress
#

i have 4 titan blood will chiron be good enough if i invest all of the bloods into it

tight basin
#

i dont think so

tight basin
#

wdym little arrows

stone cypress
#

that's pretty good dam

#

like the arrow they all home in?

dreamy prism
#

indeed

stone cypress
#

or just like 2 orb 3

tight basin
#

all the arrows from the special home in

stone cypress
#

ah

tight basin
#

but well

stone cypress
#

oh but the max shots are reduced

tight basin
#

chiron bow is pretty bad until it gets to level 4-5

stone cypress
#

from 9

#

to 4

#

oh damn

dreamy prism
#

yep gotta upgrade it to be good

tight basin
#

idk how great it is at lvl 3 but 4 is decent enough, 5 is max

stone cypress
#

should i save until then because rn i make it to minotaur every time and just end yp dying shortly after

tight basin
#

with 4 titan blood i think it'll only go to lvl 2

dreamy prism
#

chiron's a good aspect to invest blood into

#

since it's very newbie friendly

tight basin
#

as long as you have the titan blood

stone cypress
#

how do i get titan blood fast

dreamy prism
#

max out a good aspect then keep beating the game while upping the heat one at a time

tight basin
#

the simple way is to just keep finishing runs and it'll eventually stack up
the other way is to trade ambrosia for titan blood.
when you beat elysium, you get a thing called "ambrosia". it's pretty useless until later in the game, and by the time it's useful, ideally you'll be better at the game and have more ambrosia.
the ambrosia can be traded for titan blood in the lounge back at the house

stone cypress
#

i think i get one titan blood everytime i beat a fury with a nrw weapon

dreamy prism
#

but you can't get more by upping the heat until you beat the final boss as well

stone cypress
#

what do yall reccomend i do rnm

#

what is the heat why am i upping it i dont know what this means

dreamy prism
#

get chiron maxed out imo

#

or as high leveled as you can

tight basin
#

with 4 titan blood you'll have 5 special arrows which isn't terrible tbh

stone cypress
#

OK i got it to level 2

#

so now I just do runs or wha

tight basin
#

lvl 2 chiron still kinda sucks but it's not the worst in the world, esp considering that lvl 0 zag bow's special is just useless

tight basin
#

nothing else to do in the game other than do runs lol

stone cypress
#

okay thank you guys!!!

dreamy prism
#

start with dionysus and get the special

stone cypress
#

awesome server very helpful

dreamy prism
#

then in asphodel take aphrodite on attack if you don't have it already

tight basin
#

oh yeah starting keepsakes are important lol

stone cypress
dreamy prism
#

keepsakes chief

stone cypress
#

who

tight basin
#

have you been giving nectar to people

stone cypress
#

ya

tight basin
#

next to your sword in the courtyard there should be like a giant box

#

interact with that and you can choose a keepsake

stone cypress
#

oh ya

tight basin
#

if you have dionysus', take his

stone cypress
#

damn i have everyone except him

tight basin
#

there should also be a contractor upgrade where you can change keepsakes between biomes

stone cypress
#

I'll go find him

tight basin
#

take artemis then

stone cypress
#

yes i got that upgrade

tight basin
#

artemis on special isn't too bad

stone cypress
#

i just use the lucky tooth fir more lives cuz i suck

tight basin
#

use lucky tooth for elysium

stone cypress
#

aphrodite attack right?

tight basin
#

yeah

#

start with artemis

stone cypress
#

Artimes special?

tight basin
#

take her special, once you get to asphodel take aphrodite and get her attack

#

yeah

#

i'm pretty sure that's what people do for an alternative lol

stone cypress
#

OKAY im ready to succeed

tight basin
#

the duo between artemis and aphrodite makes you deal more critical damage and since you're hitting the same target multiple times with your special, it'll deal more damage

stone cypress
#

i take the artemis special right?

tight basin
#

yes

stone cypress
#

OKOK thank you

tight basin
#

np

stone cypress
#

ooo i got it rare

#

wtf its 2 am

#

time flies

tight basin
#

on second thought it might be better for you to go to sleep lol

stone cypress
#

I've been saying "one more run" since 11

#

😭😭😭

#

one more run fr

#

this the one

tight basin
#

lmao okay buddy

valid dagger
#

just 1 more

stone cypress
#

is daedelus good for bow

tight basin
#

oh yeah

#

there's a few good hammers for bow

#

one of them gives you more special arrows

dreamy prism
#

bow has some of the best hammers

stone cypress
#

the one that turns the attack into 3 is really good right

tight basin
#

another one makes the special arrows deal +3 more damage per hit

tight basin
stone cypress
#

i did that and used it like a shotgun

dreamy prism
#

that's the dream for chiron

stone cypress
dreamy prism
proven osprey
#

Triple damage at point blank range is quite good isn't it?

stone cypress
#

yes its a shotgun

proven osprey
#

If you don't want to take the risk it's more aoe anyway

tight basin
#

well my issue with it is like the bow is meant to be more ranged so you can deal more damage with the perfect shot but now you have to get up close to their face and try not to get slapped before you can loose the shot

stone cypress
#

okay relentless volley or tripleshot

tight basin
#

relentless

tight basin
#

because chiron

dreamy prism
#

relentless is good on chiron

stone cypress
#

K relentless it is

#

this is gonna be crayz on bossess

dreamy prism
#

chiron's specialty is boss damage

tight basin
#

that's pretty good luck getting relentless on underleveled chiron lol

proven osprey
#

It's more about knowing the ennemies patterns to land a perfect shot. Range gives you safety but in the end game knowledge will reward you

tight basin
#

now it's like max chiron

stone cypress
#

this game is so amazing man i love it

#

i just got ilit on gamepass yesterday

#

i love how even tho the main cycle is the same it feels so different every run

tight basin
proven osprey
#

It's excellent on Rama put it's far from easy to pull it off

dreamy prism
#

twin rama gang

proven osprey
#

Twin shot would be a safe alternative

#

But real boyos use triple

dreamy prism
#

supergiant is a coward for not letting us combine the two

proven osprey
#

True

tight basin
#

yeah i had a run where i got both twin and triple for options and i was thinking "well triple shot is hard to pull off but i heard it's good" so i picked it and got promptly slapped going forward lmao

proven osprey
#

Yeah that's gonna happen

stone cypress
#

the special isnt homing am i doing smth wrong

tight basin
#

the targetting thingy goes away after a bit

#

if you spam the special right after landing an attack, you should get 3 specials off before it goes away

stone cypress
#

so i hit with normal attack and instantly press special

#

okay maybe i did it wrong thanks

tight basin
#

oh you probably have to wait until your attack actually lands sometimes lol

#

if they're a bit far and you spam special right after you shoot there's a decent chance you'll use your special before the atk lands

stone cypress
#

LMFAO i probably did that

#

wait its still not working

#

maybe i dont have the bow equipped idk

dreamy prism
#

hit B and look at what aspect you have

stone cypress
#

how do i check

#

i pressed b its just the cast

dreamy prism
#

whatever button shows your boons

tight basin
#

if you have chiron equipped you should have a bow icon somewhere of some degree of rarity

stone cypress
#

adamant arrowhead, ares aid, deadly flourish, heartbreak strike

#

thats all i see

dreamy prism
#

that's just the sidebar that's always there

tight basin
#

if you look at your boon info it should also show your hammer

stone cypress
#

did i really forget to equip the weapon 💀💀

tight basin
#

and when you hover over every icon none of them say "aspect of chiron"?

#

honestly if that's the case

stone cypress
#

no 😭😭😭😭

LMFAO

oh lmao

im not the smartest

do i just run into lava

tight basin
#

just hit give up and upgrade chiron again, equip the keepsake

tight basin
#

you got a good hammer

#

was it at the very start?

#

hitting "give up" saves the seed and relentless volley on your underleveled chiron would be extremely good

okok so just do the same things i did before

and dont forget

tight basin

pretty much

honeslty

OK imma stop here its 3 am lmfao

just remember what you did until you get the hammer

#

What is considered to be the best defensive build to run with in Hades, in your opinions?

valid dagger
#

Mainly Zeus and Beowulf

#

They can output really good damage while having a bullrush to block/iframe everything

#

You can pair Zeus Shield with Merciful End, preferably Ares on the Special, or you can run Thunder Flourish and look for more Zeus, for Beowulf you can go for the classic Flood Flare + Artemis Attack -> Mirage Shot or Passion Flare + Snow Burst + Pstatus

#

These builds wont simply make you win, and other weapons such as Hestia, Guan Yu, Arthur, Eris etc can be plenty safe if you play them well enough

lusty valve
#

I see. I'll definitely try this out. I recently unlocked Beowulf so that's good. Thanks for the quick and helpful response shadesmile

proven osprey
#

Aspect of safety, Guan Yu

turbid needle
#

any good build for shield of chaos

#

i got full blood on it

valid dagger
#

You can start with Zeus and take his Special, and look for a lot of Zeus and maybe external damage sources aside from your Special, such as a big call like Zeus or Dio

#

The other way to play it is to totally ignore your Special and look for Charged Shot (hammer) and get a strong % attack boon

#

Aphro ideally, Artemis works but it's a bit underwhelming without Chaos

valid dagger
turbid needle
#

ok thank you so much

#

appreciated

sterile fiber

#

that's a different issue lmao

sterile fiber
#

No it isn't

#

Also Lv 1 Chiron is fine, I beat 40 heat with it so it must be meta dusa

nocturne ether
#

when going for certain builds on an aspect would it be fine to use the gods keepsake to force a chance of the boon or would it better using a keepsake with more utility, and just hoping the god is in the pool

valid dagger
#

That's almost always the strat

#

God keepsakes for tart and aspho and utility/defensive keepsakes for ely and styx

sterile fiber
#

Outside of certain builds, usually the first 2 regions use gods to get the build, then third and forth uses something defensive to survive the boss fights

nocturne ether
#

ohh ok

#

yeah ive been missing out on that, i usually use the god keepsakes then forget to switch them for something more useful

sterile fiber
#

If you're good at bossing, Elysium can be another god, and last 2 regions can also take offensive keepsakes

#

General offensive/defensive items can even be taken in Aspho if the build gets together in Tartarus

nocturne ether
#

i usually lose 1 death defiance on theseus and asterius so i need to work on improving in that fight

sterile fiber
#

I have a couple hundred hours and still forget to switch keepsakes sometimes bouldy

i remember reading about people with a ton of time in the game never noticing you could get additional mirror upgrades with keys

#

its kinda easy to miss so i dont blame them but its funny lmao

sterile fiber

Or the green side

nocturne ether
#

yeah

The mirror UI really needs to prevent you from leaving until you show you know where the green skills are

#

also on rama is it really worth it to powershot considering how long it takes to charge up even on dash strike

plain river
#

So on chiron am I looking for artemis or aphrodite flourish?

#

Or something else?

valid dagger
#

Look for Artemis Dionysus or Poseidon on your Special

cunning urchin
#

It's better than Deadly Flourish on its own. But Heartbreak Strike + Deadly Flourish and Heart Rend will do a lot more damage.

#

Also benefits more from Chaos boons, items, etc.

#

Heartbreak Flourish with Unhealthy Fixation is pretty amazing though, like you can virtually perma-charm Hades with that and Relentless Volley.

#

Less DPS, of course, but also very safe.

cunning urchin
#

And your Special still benefits a lot from Chaos boons etc., just benefits less than with crits.

cunning urchin
random relic
#

ah true

cunning urchin
#

I'd say if you're going for Heartbreak Flourish, you'd want Privileged Status to benefit from that and help with damage.

#

Special aside, Chiron builds god gauge very fast, so make sure you pick up a good Call.

#

And Chiron really really sucks in Satyr tunnels, so wanna pick up AOE for that. Flood Shot or Tidal Dash with Breaking Wave ideally, maybe Smair with Zeus'Aid, something like that.

lucid oar
#

What really matters for all % special boons is getting epic swift flourish and conc+relentless volley

cunning urchin
#

There's also a big gap between common Heartbreak Flourish and Epic Heartbreak Flourish if you want to go that route. I'd pick up an epic Flourish when starting Eternal Rose but otherwise just take Strike and go for Heart Rend, Low Tolerance, etc.

Where should I throw my zeus boon for super soaker?

call is always great

call best

i mean cast is ok

in tart

but always aim for call

dreamy prism
#

special is kinda ok too since super soaker without forced ddash has a hard time setting off bombs

#

so bombs can zap kinda

sterile fiber
#

early call will lower chances of getting Hyper sprint

plain river

Oh wait it opens the one boon that gives call % ever x seconds

Call is the best one that unlocks double strike

# stone cypress how do u get duo boons

Generally most of them require core boons like attack, special, cast, dash or call from 2 different gods, then each individual one might have a little change in it’s prerequisites like it needs specifically posiedon cast or demeter cast or something that can provoke doom from ares

Yeah

What hammers are best for rail? Ik delta and rocket ones are useful but unsure outside of that

random relic
#

for zag rail- spread fire is the best, you use artemis attack with it
for eris- rocket is the best, and with cluster it becomes amazing. any special focused hammers are always good
for hestia- anything that buffs your special (like clockets or hazard bomb). ricochet fire can also be good
for lucifer- triple bomb is by far the best hammer as the special becomes useable

clever phoenix
#

i like taking clusters first on eris then go for rockets

#

damage good for bossing

dreamy prism
#

sadly rocket > cluster

#

I like cluster too because buffing is trivial but rocket ultimately is way faster for tartarus and asphodel

plain river
#

I think it’s rockets then cluster, because despite cluster giving you slightly better odds of getting rockets, taking rockets makes you both more likely to get to the 2nd hammer and will likely make you reach said 2nd hammer faster

random relic
#

i love rocket anyway

#

such a fun hammer

#

first time i tried it i really wanted to combo it with hazard

#

then i learned you cant

#

so sad

#

imagine hocket

dreamy prism
#

hocket would be balanced if you couldn't use at close range without instant dashing to avoid self damage

random relic
#

i mean thats already clockets though

#

except there is no self damage

#

its just pure bliss

plain river
#

I have flurry jab already, should I grab serrated point, breaching skewer or extending jab? Using aspect of achilles

#

I think it’s extending jab since I don’t think flurry jab and serrated work together

proper furnace
#

yeah not serrated

dreamy prism
#

extended probably

proper furnace
#

same issue as flurry slash where it messes the iframes

dreamy prism
#

I think you're supposed to standing strike with flurry so extended actually comes into play

proper furnace
#

it forces you to do a flurry attack after the dash strike

yeah of course

Are aphrodite and artemis flourish interchangable on eris?

but depends

quick sky

Yeah I know if you have some good ones it depends but there is probably one you default to no?

plain river
#

I default to the one that increase rarity

proper furnace
#

You default to nectar most of the times yeah

#

Guranteed rare + epic and legendary/duo change gud

tight basin
#

generally never take the increase rarity one

#

increased rarity is generally the same as a pom most of the time, the only ones that it really changes are hermes boons i think

proper furnace
#

I just said it also boosts duos/legendary chances dusa

#

Also it working on hermes is still huge/chaos too

tight basin
#

oh i meant the one where it increases the rarity of 2 of your current boons

#

i probably should have clarified a lot more lol

#

the increased rarity nectar is very useful

proper furnace
#

ah that makes sense

dreamy prism
#

I'd say if you only have two boons and both like rarity or you got strong hermes boons ambrosia is a valid pick over pom and nectar

#

and of course on AP2 ambrosia is the goat for locking out replacements via heroics

random relic
#

yeah ambrosia can be really good if you dont have many boons

#

and have something in your build already that wod benefit a lot from a rarity boost

What level is your aspect?

pallid walrus
#

level 2 only

#

idk how to get more tian blood

strange lark
#

i would go dio special for that

plain river
#

dio special then

#

Try to get aphrodite attack and go the duo

pallid walrus
#

wdym @plain river

#

i am really new

#

like really new

plain river
#

basically

#

If you have the aphrodite attack and the dionysus special (it’s really any boons from aphrodite or dionysus aside from trippy cast) then it’ll open up a special boon option

pallid walrus
#

oh

#

thnx bro

plain river
#

That lets you stack hangover on weak (the debuff from aphrodite) opponents up to 8 times rather than the usual 5

pallid walrus
#

oh

#

i understand

#

thxs

plain river
#

Plus if it’s aphrodite attack and dionysus special then you’ll be weakening them right before you hit them with your special

pallid walrus
#

so it also does massive dammage

plain river
#

Hammer-wise you’ll want relentless and concentrated volley (relentless over concentrated at your level I think)

pallid walrus
#

is piercing volley also okay?

plain river
#

I don’t like it on chiron because apparently it decreases your special range

pallid walrus
#

ok

dreamy prism
#

eh I think it's fine

#

helps with aoe which chiron sorely lacks

#

also very good in elysium

pallid walrus
#

ok

plain river
#

If you don’t get any volleys as options twin shot or triple shot (or flurry shot I think?) are your best other options

pallid walrus
#

ok

dreamy prism
#

yep as long as it doesn't mess with your ability to actually use the special

#

eg chain shot, explosive shot to an extent

pallid walrus
#

alr

plain river
#

Then if you see them take ares

pallid walrus
#

ok

plain river
#

And pick up the boon that provokes doom when you get hit

pallid walrus
#

ok

plain river
#

since that unlocks dio+ares duo which makes hangover tick every .35 seconds rather than every .5 seconds

#

Picking up artemis cast could help here but you’d be spreading yourself very thin in terms of your chances to find the duo boons

#

So I wouldn’t recommend it

#

If you have concentrated volley and happen to see a purple swift flourish on hermes take it

#

if it’s lower than purple than it’s irrelevant though

dreamy prism
#

nah

#

swift flourish you want no matter what

plain river
#

Really?

dreamy prism
#

sure purple + concentrated is super op but improving chiron's frame data by a lot is always worth it

#

I'd take rare swift flourish at a very high priority

#

chiron has issues and one of them is clunky and slow damage cycle

#

slow as in how responsive you are, not dps

#

swift flourish is huge for fixing that

#

also it's just a straight up multiplicative dps buff so yeah

tight basin
#

I think with even common swift flourish you can sneak in 4 specials in the time frame which can be nice against bosses

terse flume
#

So I am also newer, but I've done about 40 runs now and still not managed to down the last boss. I have tried several weapons and I prefer the shield, so far as I can tell.

aphrodite atk, zeus call, smair spam probably

That'll do it.

plain river
#

Which weapon cares the least about which boons you have on it?

random relic
#

uh... hestia...? i guess?

#

as long as theres a % attack its kinda fine

#

but i mean it still wants splash dash good special hammers and arty/aphro special

valid dagger
#

If you just wanna clear the game you basically need shackle and that's it

random relic

but splash dash is nice for smaller enemies

so all you need then is shackle and splash dash

Does Charon get stronger in later stages or does his fight stay the same no matter where you engage it?

terse flume
#

K, the simplest answer is probably just that I need to "git gud," but I have all the basic Mirror upgrades and the rest of my Darkness is now going to the Rare/Epic Increased chance. For going for a first Hades kill, is one weapon preferred over another? I'm still leaning towards the Shield, and I can get to the 3rd boss fight usually without losing a life, but I invariably will die once there and then twice on the last one.

ebon epoch

I tend to rely probably too heavily on dash-strikes, but I try to mix it up with specials, throws, and calls (if I have one).

ebon epoch
#

Dash strikes end your i-frames from the dash if you were not already aware

terse flume
#

...That is a significant thing of note.

#

Does an attack count as a block or only when I charge the shield-charge?

ebon epoch

Only when you charge the shield charge. Well-timed attacks can break projectiles tho.

I was always a Beowulf enjoyer

cunning urchin
#

Very pact resistant aspect, so you can choose any pact you like. Only thing you'd want to avoid on Rama is RI3+ because playing it with only a single dash is a pain.

#

Since you won't get distance to charge Power Shots.

#

Thunder Flourish start still the fastest for it, pretty sure, if you wanna be a little speedy with it.

dreamy prism

and you shouldn't touch RI at all at 16 heat

and AP obviously

i use RI at 8 heat

RI4?

lucid oar
dreamy prism

r!pasta rama

Eh, Rama handles RI and AP a lot better than majority of aspects since you only need one boon to have a build... or just Shackle even. So it's not really a big deal if people wanna try those pacts.

#

doom is just, you hit them and 1 second later it deals extra damage

#

your boon impending doom makes it deal damage in 1.5 seconds but with 60% more damage which is pretty decent

#

although with chiron bow ares on your special isnt great to begin with lol

#

it's not bad but there are better things to get

#

someone here was able to get doom to hit for 600+ damage each time which isn't bad at all

#

since doom takes time to actually proc it's usually paired with the duo boon merciful end (athena-ares) where as soon as they are hit with deflect damage the doom hits immediately

plain river
#

that requires the one boon

#

uhh

dire misfortune

ionic sorrel
plain river
#

more doom hits= more damage

tight basin

like

impending doom would make it do 160 damage

and whatever you pom will make it deal more damage

ionic sorrel

yeah but you dont have to think about it as much

#

just haha pom go brrr

tight basin
#

just pom whatever increases the most pretty much lol

#

pull out the calculator

#

oh also

#

regarding the butterfly keepsake

#

it's not great because to actually get good value out of it you need to equip it at the start or maybe even asphodel but you'll lose control of your build

ionic sorrel
#

I had it equipped from Tartarus

#

at the end of the game the bonus was like 28%

tight basin
#

well you dont have control of your build because you're starting off with a random god

#

which depending on the weapon can be bad

#

for chiron bow, you typically want to get something for your special

ionic sorrel
#

true

tight basin
#

ares isn't great until you get dire misfortune, but you're not guaranteed that at all

#

typically you'd want dionysus or artemis so you start with either of their keepsakes

plain river
#

butterfly isn't great anyways because most damage increases including it are additive rather than multiplicative

tight basin
#

and then in asphodel you take aphrodite's for the attack and try to get the duo boon

its like im back in 'nam

I said all 3 duos

#

arte+dio/dio+aphro/arte+aphro

tight basin
#

oh arte dio duo increases crit rate forgot about that

#

might as well get curse of vengeance and get dio/ares duo

#

someone mod a run for that lmao

#

start with concentrated volley and mod the next 4 rooms to give exactly what you want

#

and then pray for duos

#

or whatever idk how the mod works

Delta chamber, targeting system or explosive fire on eris

#

First hammer

dreamy prism
#

then poseidon dash to abuse iframes

#

targeting system is interesting because it's one of very few sources of "true" global +%

#

aka affecting companions as well

#

not sure if there's anything else other than sweet surrender but yeah targeting is an excellent option for that reason, delta is just too good though

queen cape

I just fought Hades himself for the first time. I didn’t do to bad, I got him about half health, which isn’t too bad considering I was half health going into the right and only had one death defiance.

that's a good start

Has anything about the balance or the meta changed since the update where they un-nerfed eris back to 75%?

gusty rapids
#

well at least in speedrunning we realized eris isnt actually the greatest thing since sliced bread

frail schooner
#

what do speeeeeedrunners use these days

#

i hope it’s somehow lucifer

gusty rapids
#

the fastest aspects are generally considered to be achilles, beowulf, hera, eris, hestia

proper furnace
#

We also have rama sneaking a second spot rn? Was first for a while

frail schooner
#

Hera surprises me, the rest i get

gusty rapids
#

still not generally considered a fast aspect bouldy we just have one (1) really good runner at it

#

its probably underrated

proper furnace

Hera gud
