#

yeah i used DD for my first ||32 heat|| on eris just for ||skelly statues||, but im thinking if its worth swapping over

#

unless its really really ||high heat||

sweet brook Jul 29, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

for ||32|| sd or dd are both valid options, dd is you're comfortable with the enemies and not taking a lot of damage, sd if you're still struggling a bit

#

what you can do with sd is crank ||lasting consequences|| to the max and before you leave each room activate sd so you get free healing

stable reef Jul 29, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

sweet brook what you can do with sd is crank ||lasting consequences|| to the max and before ...

oh thats interesting

sweet brook Jul 29, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

various well items and patty can increase the amount of healing you get from sd as well

stable reef Jul 29, 2022, 8:30 PM

#

was thinking of ||FO2 and hard labour stacks||

sweet brook Jul 29, 2022, 8:30 PM

#

||fo2|| is an extremely good one to learn because once you get used to it it's a free ||9 heat|| so that's nice

#

obv with some weapons you'll end up struggling a bit more, especially the slower hitting ones

stable reef Jul 29, 2022, 8:31 PM

#

hmm gotcha

#

what do u personally prefer to run for slower hitting ones?

#

i really want to avoid getting rnged by ||approval process|| and others

sweet brook Jul 29, 2022, 8:33 PM

#

well they're namely hidden aspects, spoiler the names btw, i like to use ||beowulf|| and ||rama||
the first one doesn't have many problems with ||fo2|| but the second one can be a bit more of a struggle if you dont get twin shot

stable reef Jul 29, 2022, 8:34 PM

#

sweet brook well they're namely hidden aspects, spoiler the names btw, i like to use ||beowu...

oh actually same i prefer those 2

casts ftw

triple shot is good if you can get it right, it's just very difficult because you have to be standing on top of them for all 3 to hit
twin shot is more consistent and a lot easier to use

What're the best aspects to invest in early on? I pumped like 3 levels into poseidon, but it feels too finicky to me in all honesty. Got another two in Chaos, and chiron feels like it isn't worth it unless it's high level

chaos is meh, special doesn't do too much base dmg anyway
chiron can be potentially good at low level, if you get the relentless volley hammer (and concentrated while you're at it)

shut gyro What're the best aspects to invest in early on? I pumped like 3 levels into pose...

bow - hera

spear - achilles
sword - nemesis for crit chance :D
fists - all fists are meh, but demeter is my personal favorite
rail - eris personally is kinda wonky, hestia might be better

one of shield best hammers

Achilles with Crystal Beam can be nice, or Trippy Flare with the Hidden Shield aspect or Hera

#

With other builds you see it being used because it’s slightly better Hermes odds than Infernal

#

Not because it’s very relevant or anything

#

Like on Hestia

muted pivot Aug 1, 2022, 7:02 AM

swapping them for auto reload

What is an encounter exactly? Like obviously the chamber would be the whole room, so I'm assuming encounter doesn't also mean the whole room

placid river Doesnt styx alone make hades very annoying to speedrun?

It’s mainly what led to the Speedrunning Modpack becoming a thing

Contractor has it sometimes, and much later in the game you unlock another way.

Yeah, the game tough

If you've made it to the final boss you're almost to the blood farm, and spoil the final boss's name if you talk about them by putting || on either side

#

Do you have all the weapons unlocked?

#

Shield makes final boss easier, cause you can block the attacks. Like literally all of them I think

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

I tried with shield but I just lose too much HP when trying to damage

#

I use sword and pray I get the cursed slash hammer upgrade

proven pivot Aug 1, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

That's a bit of a trap honestly

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

it works a lot better than anything else I tried

proven pivot Aug 1, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

It seems really good, but it doesn't work with dash strikes which is the ideal way to sword. Non attacking dashes make you invincible but attacking removes that btw. A lot of people don't realize so I figured I'd mention it

#

If you have Athena's keepsake, use it. She makes life way easier and consistently getting at least one of her boons helps a ton

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

well ye I have her call and dash

#

and then artemis attack and special with hunters mark

#

sadly no cursed slash this run so far

#

at third boss

sweet brook Aug 1, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

which sword are you using?

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

the crit one

sweet brook Aug 1, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

ah that's good

#

if you plan on using athena and artemis in your build, try and get deadly reversal

#

i believe you need athena's atk or special and then one of artemis' core boons

#

and then the dash is just supplementary

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

I can try to get athena attack with artemis dash

#

does that give block to ur dash attack?

sweet brook Aug 1, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

only right in front of you

proven pivot Aug 1, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

I'd go with Athena attack and dash myself

sweet brook Aug 1, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

but their duo is better if you have athena's dash

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

what does it do

sweet brook Aug 1, 2022, 5:24 PM

because when you reflect your crit chance increases by like 40% or something

oof dash nova kinda funky

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

I rly like it

#

sadly it doesn't Iframe

sweet brook Aug 1, 2022, 5:34 PM

#

the issue with dash nova according to others here is that despite being the first weapon you're given, sword is one of the most precise weapons in the game
melee weapons are inherently more dangerous, and the special launching you across the room kinda messes up a lot of set up and precision needed
considering the standard combo of sword is special-dash strike-dash strike, dash nova is gonna be sending you all over the place

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

welp time to fight ||Hades||

#

my damage combo rn is q q q q q XD nah it's q aa

topaz jasper Aug 1, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

basically with sword you dstrike into enemies, dnova is just gonna launch you somewhere else after that and you lose damage

timber quarry Aug 1, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

and dash strike combo when I need to be careful

#

it's just that my q gets me out of an aoe way faster than a dash

sweet brook Aug 1, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

dashes make you immune to the aoe

viscid notch Aug 1, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

It shouldn't be that way

#

Your dashes are always the safest way to avoid any attack

topaz jasper Aug 1, 2022, 5:37 PM

unless you're a shield gamer

viscid notch Aug 1, 2022, 5:37 PM

#

Atleast Shield gamers have something reliable instead of the Dash

devout basalt Aug 1, 2022, 5:38 PM

#

i think dnova would be somewhat more decent if it didnt perform the special animation after the dash

#

so it doesnt make your special take longer 😐

topaz jasper Aug 1, 2022, 5:38 PM

or give us snap nova again

#

kid named nova:

#

anyways does dnova really increase frame data because that's scuffed as hell

devout basalt Aug 1, 2022, 5:40 PM

#

what i meant is that you have to add the time from the special animation and the dash itself so youre just more vulnerable

#

the animation on its own is the same

topaz jasper Aug 1, 2022, 5:40 PM

#

I'm confused

#

does the special come out at the same time or not

devout basalt Aug 1, 2022, 5:41 PM

dash nova frame data is the same as pressing q immediately after a dash im pretty sure

#

The stomper has honestly. A little unfair range

proven pivot Aug 2, 2022, 7:43 AM

#

That's a mini boss room, and you've gotten really unlucky to run into it 3 times in a row, oftentimes you can get through the entire area without a mini boss, and there's two other potential mini bosses in that region

void remnant Aug 2, 2022, 7:46 AM

#

Wait its not guaranteed?

#

Also is it skill issue or is it supposed to be really hard?

proven pivot Aug 2, 2022, 7:47 AM

#

It's not guaranteed, and even if it shows up, sometimes you'll get a choice of rooms and can avoid it through the other door. It has a specific symbol I don't remember off the top of my head

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 7:47 AM

void remnant Aug 2, 2022, 7:57 AM

#

Also how does reflecting works

proven pivot Aug 2, 2022, 7:59 AM

#

Basically, if the reflect effect hits an attack, it doesn't damage you. Projectiles get launched but melee attacks also get reflected. I'm honestly not sure on the specifics of it beyond that. Assuming you ARE talking about Athena's thing

void remnant Aug 2, 2022, 8:05 AM

#

Can a shield reflect by default

proven pivot Aug 2, 2022, 8:06 AM

#

The weapon? No, but if you hold attack it blocks, which is pretty much the same.

#

Well, the same for avoiding damage

#

It doesn't reflect damage, just removes it, but the point is you don't take any damage if it blocks it

void remnant Aug 2, 2022, 8:07 AM

#

so invincibility?

#

From one side

proven pivot Aug 2, 2022, 8:07 AM

#

Yes

#

Dashing also makes you invincible regardless of weapon, but attacking while dashing removes that

viscid notch Aug 2, 2022, 8:12 AM

#

void remnant so invincibility?

Almost

#

Some attacks have a big enough radius to break through blocks even if you’re facing in the direction of the attack

proven pivot Aug 2, 2022, 8:13 AM

#

Oh yeah. It's just like only a couple

viscid notch Aug 2, 2022, 8:13 AM

From my limited experience; focus minotaur and keep moving around the pillars to make him stumble into them while also shielding u from the spear guys attack, then spear guy is an easy kill if you wait for him to throw his stuff and attack while he is walking

Yeah do this. Normally what I do is avoid theseus as much as possible. When hes inside the center of the arena, go to the outer part of the arena, around the pillars (while having asterius chase you and doing damage to him). If he's in the outer part of the arena, go to the other side of the arena or in the center. Kill Asterius first!!! This is very important, dont try doing damage to theseus, only asterius.

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

artemis attack i think

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

Okay. Does kinda seem like the dash-attack doesn't include crit 🤔

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

i personally dont really prioritize dashes in builds

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

Just has +70% dmg, I think

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

yes

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:32 PM

#

Still, +70% is quite a bit compared to +20%, no?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

true, but i think artemis attack opens up more duos than the dash

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

Ahh, might be a bit early for me to go for duos atm. Just trying to get as far as I can without DD atm

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

you can get duos as early as run 1

#

but fair enough

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

Haven't even gotten all the weapons/mirror effects :3

#

I don't even think my book can look for what I need yet?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

could pull up the wiki lol

#

fresh file speedruns get merciful end so it's definitely possibly for you to get a duo

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

Well, kinda just used to use the book, back when I played

#

Merficul end? I don't know most of the names in the game x)

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

athena ares duo
point being, it's not "early" in the game for you to not get a duo

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

Dang it... Now that I have crit attack, there's no reason for me to skip... the black hole thing in the floor, lol

#

Forgot their name x)

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

chaos

carmine vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

how I survived up to the boss battle?! cause I seem to either play too caution or too aggressive. I can make it to the first boss but my wins are like 7-2!

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

Riight, Chaos

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

carmine vault how I survived up to the boss battle?! cause I seem to either play too caution o...

you're getting better at the game lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

Well, yeah, just gotta practice

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

cobalt river Riight, Chaos

with shield look for attack or dash attack damage ideally
if you cant get either of those just get something that doesn't harm your playing too much

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

Pretty much all there is to it. Certain boon combos can make the game easier, though

carmine vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

sweet brook you're getting better at the game lol

by how many more runs? cause im up to 24 as of now

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:37 PM

#

you said the farthest you've gone was the final boss?

carmine vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:37 PM

#

the first boss

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:37 PM

#

ah

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:38 PM

#

24 runs and the first boss?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:38 PM

#

i misinterpreted your message lol

#

what weapon are you using?

carmine vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:38 PM

#

I was able to beat her 2 times but they just cant anymore

#

inbetween many loss runs that is

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:39 PM

#

can you send a screenshot of your mirror and tell us what weapon you're using?

carmine vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:40 PM

#

tbh Im sure on the laptop im using😄

#

but I have been using the bow and trident in her fights. I wish there was the ability to change out weapons before a boss fight

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:41 PM

#

You're gonna need a mod for something like that.

#

Have you tried the sword? Seems pretty decent to me

carmine vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

the 2 times I was able to win was when I had explosive battle from the hammer

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

Heck, the shield + crit attack seems nice atm

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

bow is pretty good imo but harder to use

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

U just need to get a little more used to the boss's cues

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

cobalt river Heck, the shield + crit attack seems nice atm

btw if you see aphrodite dont forget to give her nectar

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

I'd only use bow of chiron, or whatever it was called

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

sweet brook btw if you see aphrodite dont forget to give her nectar

Don't have any, but thanks :p

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:43 PM

#

ah rip

carmine vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:43 PM

#

cobalt river Have you tried the sword? Seems pretty decent to me

then I have to worry about her whip attack constantly

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:43 PM

#

Charged flight, Minotaur rush, or Pulverrizing blow from hammer? (shield)

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

pulverizing blow

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

carmine vault then I have to worry about her whip attack constantly

No, not really. Pretty easy to dodge, especially if you have double dash, and you should have that by now

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

what

#

wait

#

minotaur rush, that makes the bull rush charge faster right

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

No, makes it deal more dmg

#

Blow makes me hit twice, but no knock-back

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

yeah pulverizing blow then

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

But with the crit, might be nice as well

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

what other gods have you found so far or are you still in tart

#

actually those 2 points are a bit unrelated lmao

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:46 PM

#

Me? Still in Tartarus. Just began the run, and I'm chatting here between every floor, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:46 PM

#

oh lmao

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:47 PM

#

Hmm, should I try and bet on Ares?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:47 PM

#

tbh i dont think ares is great for shield

#

ares on the special is pretty decent though

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:47 PM

#

Not even his special? For a bit of bonus dmg?

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

sweet brook minotaur rush, that makes the bull rush charge faster right

Is the powershot one

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

ah i see

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

cobalt river Not even his special? For a bit of bonus dmg?

i mean yeah it's bonus damage but shield special kinda doodoo

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

Hmm, yeah, kinda see the point there. Which one should I try and aim for, if I don't stumble into Aphrodite? (Or however her name was spelled)

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

zeus is solid

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

Is this default shield?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

wait ares can give you hunting blades huh

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

dusty vault Is this default shield?

yes

#

with arty atk

#

because no aphrodite keepsake

#

you could take ares and take his cast and get hunting blades for an easy win lmao

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:50 PM

#

Yes, default shield. Only just got back to the game. And I didn't really use the shield back then, so I'm not quite sure what to go for

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:50 PM

#

with shield you normally get aphrodite atk, zeus something, get smoldering air, then win lmao

#

oh and charged shot

#

since you have arty atk and ares is being offered, you can just get hunting blades which is an easy win but will take a bit of time

#

fyi hunting blades makes ares' cast home into enemies rather than just go into nowhere

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:52 PM

#

Does the hammer have an attack boost against armor? Would fit nicely with my double attack and crit attack, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:52 PM

#

i'm pretty sure there's a certain hammer that'll make you deal more damage to armor but with what you have rn i dont think so

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:53 PM

#

Aw, could be fun to get those darn shields shredded, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:53 PM

#

the breaching rush hammer will make your bull rush do 400% more to armored units

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:57 PM

#

Well, did some bad mistakes, so almost lost against the boss. So, should I just switch to Zeus token, or whatever it's called?

#

Ohh, keepsake

#

Didn't find Aphrodite :I

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

nah i'd stick with arty

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

Hmm, why?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

zeus only works on shield because of aphrodite/arty

#

you want to start with an attack ideally, zeus is more of a supporting god

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

Okay.
Guess I'll just use Nyx's keepsake, then

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

what does hers do lmao

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

They already have arty attack

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

wait almost lost

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

Atm, +10% dmg on foes from behind

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

i didn't read the almost part

#

yeah use zeus

#

my bad

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

But, wasn't Zeus useless?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

i thought you had lost so you were starting over lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

Ahh

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

zeus is bad to start with, but you're at the second biome so zeus is fine

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

Zeus special, dash, or cast?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

probably special

#

although tbh any of them are fine

#

maybe except dash but idk

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

Okay

#

Well, I found Aprhodite 🤷

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:04 PM

#

rip no nectar

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:05 PM

#

I did get one the moment I said I didn't have any, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:05 PM

#

oh nice

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:06 PM

#

Flourish, Dash, or Lament?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:06 PM

#

what does lament do lmao

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:07 PM

#

When enemies dies they dmg enemies nearby, it seems

#

And inflict weak

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:07 PM

#

i think dash

#

and hopefully the arty-aphro duo boon pops up
you deal more crit damage to enemies with weak so i think that'll be an easy way to inflict weak

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:08 PM

#

Oh, I see. Well, that's only if I do get the duo. Can't even guarantee I'll survive the second boss, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:09 PM

#

lmao rip

#

at least you can start with aphrodite now

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:10 PM

#

Yep

#

And Zeus helps, why exactly?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:10 PM

#

smoldering air duo

#

with aphrodite

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:10 PM

#

Ah, Idk how that works

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:11 PM

#

your call caps at 25% but you charge 1 percent every idk 1/4 second or something

#

calls give iframes briefly when used and depending what your call is you can do a ton of damage

muted pivot Aug 2, 2022, 10:11 PM

#

its 1% every second

#

so you can do a small call once every 5 seconds

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:12 PM

#

zeus boons also support one another extremely well so if you happen to see zeus a lot it'll ramp up your damage

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:13 PM

#

Uh, wasn't I supposed to go for duo, and not call? 🙃

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:13 PM

#

well it's both

#

zeus call and zeus duo ideally

#

if you dont get the duo it's fine but it's just something that'll bring up the damage by a lot

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:14 PM

#

Probably not gonna aim for calls atm

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

zeus call kinda good tho

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

Isn't smair main thing billowing and swind

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

i forgot those existed lol

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

Zeus call pretty good on top of that though

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:16 PM

#

but even without that yeah smair zeus call is just good dps

blissful agate Aug 2, 2022, 10:16 PM

#

As someone who hasn't beaten Hades before, what are some boons i should go after? my main necessity is Athena dash

muted pivot Aug 2, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

coral yoke Isn't smair main thing billowing and swind

yeah those are great but smair is also just kinda good on its own

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

blissful agate As someone who hasn't beaten Hades before, what are some boons i should go after...

may i interest you in merciful end lol

muted pivot Aug 2, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

damage from dio/zeus call or smth can be really good

blissful agate Aug 2, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

sweet brook may i interest you in merciful end lol

what is that?

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

Wooh, second boss killed. So stupidly easy, it's almost like it just stands there waiting to getting beaten, lol.
So, was it Aphrodite keepsake in hopes of duo?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:18 PM

#

blissful agate what is that?

relatively high rng build that can have massive dps for melee weapons
ME duo is whenever an enemy with doom inflicted gets hit by something that can deflect, the doom procs instantly instead after 1/1.5 seconds

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:19 PM

#

muted pivot yeah those are great but smair is also just kinda good on its own

Yeah but those are what make smoldering as top tier as it is i think

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:19 PM

#

cobalt river Wooh, second boss killed. So stupidly easy, it's almost like it just stands ther...

believe so

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:19 PM

#

Especially cause billowing is also zeus

blissful agate Aug 2, 2022, 10:19 PM

#

sweet brook relatively high rng build that can have massive dps for melee weapons ME duo is ...

so i need some Ares boons to make that work, correct?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:20 PM

#

ares atk/special and athena atk/special in order to be offered the duo
however, it's generally ares atk with athena special, pray to find duo and athena dash

#

there's a few other ares supporting boons that make it really strong

#

impending doom is a big one

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:20 PM

#

Impending doom mainly

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:20 PM

#

yeah

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:20 PM

#

Dire less so

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

dire misfortune is alright but hey it's extra damage so why not

muted pivot Aug 2, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

coral yoke Yeah but those are what make smoldering as top tier as it is i think

idk i think with those smair is S tier and without its still like A

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

Just run ME curse of longing and spam your athena thing smh

blissful agate Aug 2, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

and this would work well with fists, right?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

yes

#

fists would be the best weapon for it

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

Me works well on every melee weapon though

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

yeah

#

but i think it works best on fists

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

Demeter gives you the most to fall back on if you don't get the duo ig

blissful agate Aug 2, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

looks like that build is perfect for me then.

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

sweet brook but i think it works best on fists

MEris is cracked smh

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

coral yoke Demeter gives you the most to fall back on if you don't get the duo ig

yeah mainly that

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

coral yoke MEris is cracked smh

i've never seen this in action and can't imagine how it would work lmao

#

i've heard of it but the concept just sounds wack in general

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:23 PM

#

blissful agate looks like that build is perfect for me then.

just be prepared to be sad if you dont get the duo lol
if you dont get the duo, you at least have a chunky special every so often which is nice as long as you're running aspect of demeter

blissful agate Aug 2, 2022, 10:24 PM

#

sweet brook just be prepared to be sad if you dont get the duo lol if you dont get the duo, ...

i usually run demeter so i already have it upgraded a bit

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:24 PM

#

nice

#

there are other builds that dont rely on as much rng to be good but they dont use divine dash

coral yoke Aug 2, 2022, 10:26 PM

#

sweet brook i've never seen this in action and can't imagine how it would work lmao

Rail is a melee weapon
Eris global damage boost

#

It's a meme but its pretty strong for a meme

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:26 PM

#

oh the damage boost affects doom huh

#

yeah that's a strong meme

#

if you get spread fire it's basically a melee weapon i guess lmao

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

I hate just about everything from the third zone.

#

Especially that I just died to a stupid trap because of Aphrodite dash, because I was looking if I had a Nectar to give to Chaos .-.

#

But didn't get duo

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:30 PM

#

lmfao rip

#

tbh you could just take chaos anyways and worry about the nectar later

#

unless you were too low on hp

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:32 PM

#

Apparently I had low enough hp to die from a trap

#

Noticed the sound too late, though

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

rip

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

But still, considering I'm not using DDs, doing alright, I suppose

#

That run, all my upgrades were +50 hp and +30 obols from the mirror

#

And the extra dash, of course

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

you should get those dds lol

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

Isnt the first dd like only 50 darkness?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

i think so lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

Yep. Just not buying it yet, lol

#

I think I'm just gonna get obols maxed, then the healing from darkness, then dmg from behind.. Was there something else? 🤔

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

dd's lmao

#

dd's are like one of the most important mirror upgrades lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

Saving that for later xP

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

why

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

Doing alright so far, no?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

i mean yeah but dd's will get you much farther

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

I suppose. But might as well practice a bit more before I get "crotches", or so to speak... Or was that the wrong word? 🤔

#

Don't remember it

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

i saw you prioritized the hp because that's maxed, dd's basically give you a permanent 50% more hp each run

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

Calling dds a crutch is a bit bouldy

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

Just bought the spear... not quite feeling it, though. Might just go with sword, though

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

dd's aren't a crutch, it's just more hp

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

Tho i called divine dash a crutch at some point so im not the best one to speak

#

Also yeah dds are a resource

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

I suppose they aren't. Still, got no darkness x)

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

I've used them on purpose to enter chaos gates

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

i mean i think there's more stance behind calling ddash a crutch than calling dd's a crutch

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

I'd say extra dash just increases survivability

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

ddash forces you to start athena every run (or rely on it too much), dd's dont really change your playstyle except maybe more aggressive but that's just because you have more hp

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

... Why?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

cobalt river I'd say extra dash just increases survivability

ddash is athena's dash, having an extra dash is like standard for everyone lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

I was talking about extra dash, I used to take divine dash for some extra protection, though

#

But, uh, spear or sword? Kinda leaning towards sword, but any reason to use spear?

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

Personal preference mainly

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

cobalt river ... Why?

well relying on ddash for survivability isn't a bad thing, it's just that sometimes people become so reliant on it that it impedes their build making at times

#

~~i would know because i was one of them~~

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

Me too, lol

#

Only picked divine dash once, though, since I returned

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

most people probably are/have tbh

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

Was the first run I did x)

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

There isnt denying is good anyways

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

it is good yeah

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

And as much we meme the divine dash copypasta is kinda true bouldy

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:43 PM

#

Kinda like Zeus dash + speedy weps, though

#

Ooh, isn't Zeus + Posidon duo decent?

#

Have both of those keepsakes

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:44 PM

#

the concept is good, i just dont know what weapons can utilize that

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:44 PM

#

Well, bow with chiron, I suppose. But right now I don't have that

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:44 PM

#

Is a nice extra but not really you fish for it i think

#

Oh yeah sea storm chiron is legit

#

Forgot tha

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

oh does the zeus internal cooldown not apply to that

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

It does

#

But you also have pos %

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

oh true

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

Which is quite nice

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

2nd highest right

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

Still, you can get a decent amount of shots off

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

i guess throwing in an extra 2 or 3 lightning bolts in there doesn't hurt lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

I just kinda liked the chiron effect, seemed like a lazy aspect, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

i do not enjoy chiron although it is pretty good lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

Just attack once, and stand in the background and spam special

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

well the target disappears after a bit

#

if you spam specials it only goes through 3 times

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

Yeah, but can usually get off 3 shots, no?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:46 PM

#

unless you have swift flourish then you can get 4

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

Special speed and whatever boons that increases the dmg just helps x)

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

yeah

#

but no splash damage kinda sucks lmao

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

Just slap tidal dash/pos cast and call it a day

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

if only zeus special worked on chiron

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

Add beaver if needed

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

Would only be decent for AoE, no?

#

Kinda useless at bosses, no?

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

Zeus special or tidal/flood shot?

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

Zeus special

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

it's useless because of the internal cooldown lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

Meant for the picture you sent, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

against bosses tho it gives you an extra 30 (common) damage per arrow

#

8 arrows, 240 damage common

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

Okay

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

not terrible

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

Then add double strike/your random zeus support boon

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

but there's also the other zeus boons like jolted

#

and yeah

#

and if you happen to get splitting then lighting go brrrr

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

Eh, too bad I can't get Chiron yet

#

Not even close in terms of titan blood, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

isn't it just 2

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

Only have 2 x)

#

Need to upgrade it, lol

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

well i guess it's not great at level 1 yeah

#

just get relentless volley chamber 1 lol

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

If it's lvl 1, then I'm basically forced to go for the hammer, or it'd kinda ruin the run

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

yeah lmao

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

Considering going with spear. Should I just get Zeus attack and hope I get some decent boons on top of that?

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:58 PM

#

tbh idk any spear builds that dont involve using hunting blades with achilles aspect lol

#

spears are very hammer reliant

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:58 PM

#

And when will I be able to look through boons with the book? :I

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:58 PM

#

not sure when that happens

#

i think you're given it by achilles?

#

either that or contract table

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 10:59 PM

#

I have the book, but I can't look at boons with it yet

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 10:59 PM

#

contract table then

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 11:00 PM

#

Oooh, might be a lucky run

#

Just picked Artemis keepsake, just figured I'd get attack crit, and then I get attack speed boost from the hammer :D

sweet brook Aug 2, 2022, 11:00 PM

#

flurry jab?

#

that's the one hammer the spear needs lmfao

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 11:01 PM

#

Might be the one. Can't spin, though

#

Fair enough, imo

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 11:01 PM

#

flurry jab my beloved

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 11:02 PM

#

Ooh, +37% attack crit from Artemis. Now I just gotta get attack boost from Chaos 🤣

#

I'm like, 3 rooms into the run

gray haven Aug 2, 2022, 11:07 PM

If you have Deadly Strike, make sure you get Hunter's Mark from her and pom that a couple times.

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 11:09 PM

#

Deadly strike? 🤔

#

Oh, meant hunter's mark 😅

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 11:27 PM

#

Hmm... First time at the third boss since I've returned. Think I'm gonna beat it with 133 hp? 😅

#

I beat the third boss with 2 hp left 🤣

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 11:46 PM

#

Hmm... Well, didn't really expect to win against the final boss, but I don't really understand why I died either 🤔

devout basalt Aug 2, 2022, 11:52 PM

#

You got hit 😃👍

cobalt river Aug 2, 2022, 11:52 PM

#

Yeah, I get that... But I'm pretty sure I dashed through, it, though 🤨

#

I guess I might have dashed too early 🤔

#

Dash-attack also decreased i-frames, no? 🤔

dusty vault Aug 2, 2022, 11:57 PM

#

they stop the iframes as soon you do a dash strike

cobalt river Aug 3, 2022, 12:00 AM

#

I see. Might also have been a dash strike. I tend to just do those

shut gyro Aug 3, 2022, 12:04 AM

#

It'd probably be super busted if you could just spam dashstrikes while also having full i frames tbf

cobalt river Aug 3, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

Probably, but also a bit hard to getting used to not doing it, on top of all the stuff you have to look out for s_s

#

Quite a bit can happen on Hades screen

#

But still, did pretty well considering I didn't have any DDs x)

#

Got to the final boss

shut gyro Aug 3, 2022, 12:07 AM

#

Yeah, but that tends to happen in any high-speed pve game

#

Especially with ones that can be bullet-hell-y

cobalt river Aug 3, 2022, 12:08 AM

#

Also, I'm probably not as fast as I used to :I

shut gyro Aug 3, 2022, 12:08 AM

#

In what sense

cobalt river Aug 3, 2022, 12:09 AM

#

Well, my brain just feels foggy AF, and I kinda assume it has something to do with my kidney disease

#

But I'm glad I'll at least be able to beat basic Hades runs x)

#

Just gotta get those DDs, lol

#

Uhh, does crit attack work for spear spin? 🤔

shut gyro Aug 3, 2022, 12:11 AM

#

I'd assume it does

#

Attack boons affect anything you have to hold attack for

#

Example: I put deflect on attack and doom on special to set up for the duo boon on, so my shield charge also deflects

#

I hate the spear but it should work the same way

cobalt river Aug 3, 2022, 12:31 AM

#

Uhh, does the purple crystals have a back side? 🤨

dusty vault Aug 3, 2022, 12:43 AM

#

dont think so

#

same goes for hydra

cobalt river Aug 3, 2022, 12:45 AM

It does to some extent. Some enemy types don't show up until you've progressed past certain points in a previous run.

#

Which can be harder at first.

But overall, it gets easier as you upgrade your mirror etc.
