Dashing is a core mechanic. There are some builds where dashing is a significant portion of your dps.
I have like 500 hours on Switch and probably 1/3 of my runs use Athena dash because it became a habit (or crutch, if you look at it a bit pessimistically).
dusty vault
Yeah I don't think there's much change on how often you dash
You just apply them better 
dusty vault

"divine dash is so good" > "divine dash is a crutch and shouldn't be used > "divine dash is so good" pipeline
toxic quail
It's a great way of applying a debuff if you're doing the two-debuff thing.
Probably the easiest to apply. You have to get close, but you're also invulnerable.
dusty vault
I mean you're invulnerable with any dash
Aphro's is prob better as you already have the curse
toxic quail
That's true, but Athena dash has longer iframes.
dusty vault
No??
It is safer by making deflected attacks no longer hurt you
But it doesn't extend your iframes
toxic quail
I'm 99% sure that at some point it had extended invulnerability, but maybe that was EA or I could be wrong.
dusty vault
I've heard it used to decrease dash distance
toxic quail
It could be deflecting attacks nullifies the entire animation, so it feels like you're invulnerable longer.
toxic quail
Either way, I think Aphro dash is only good if your main DPS boon also applies an effect. But since Aphro is so strong on attack/special/cast, I usually prefer to put it on there and thus doubling up with dash is pointless.
dusty vault
that's why the real answer is just play with fam favs
toxic quail
Depends on heat.
dusty vault
Or that your build already runs into the gods with nat curses
toxic quail
Well I guess they're both the same heat. Man I haven't played in too long!

Skip as in chaosgate or the 5diamond thingy area?
Also why those specifically 😮

that’s the last chamber before a boss

I just dont understand the difference between Death defiance and Stubborn defiance on the mirror. Which one is better and whats the difference?
viscid notch
I just dont understand the difference between Death defiance and Stubborn defian...
The difference is you can get a total of 3 Death Defiances from the mirror but only one Stubborn Defiance. However, Death Defiances are meant to last you the entire run, while Stubborn Defiance only lasts for one encounter, then refreshes when you enter the next if you lost it. SD also heals for less.
If you're asking this, stick to Death Defiances
raw coral
Each accomodates a certain style of play, the first is for a more safe approach while the latter accomodates more recklessness
Stubborn is not for everyone and needs a lot more getting used to in order to properly benefitting from it, so sticking with the regular Death Defiance is best imo
lone urchin
I still dont get the difference, Im sorry
Like one is restored everytime you enter another room?
dusty vault
Yeah
Stubborn can be used once per room
A very simple but also kinda missing a lot of context generalization is
Death defiance = better for bosses
Stubborn = dying way too much in normal rooms
lone urchin
thats a perfect analogy for me, thanks
restive portal
Stubborn is great until you get to a boss where you need to survive for more than one DDs worth of damage.
In general you want to start with Death Defiances because without any added difficulty you should find it's the bosses that block progress. You'll understand what I mean by added difficulty later.
hollow hull
The general formula I use is SDs when learning the game, back to DDs when heroes and end boss are the biggest challenges, and then back to SDs at ||32+ heat||

Also, remember that you can recycle darkness from the mirror and re-spec it for 1 key.

Opinion on DD vs SD is kind of a bell curve.
True beginner: “Mirror of Night? Death defiance? Stubborn defiance? What?”
Beginner: “Yeah stubborn defiance is pretty good because I need that extra life for every room”
Midgame player: “Why would I use Stubborn Defiance? I’d rather have 3 lives for the bosses, I hardly ever die in regular rooms”
Endgame content: “Why would I even use Death Defiance, I would loss my run after like 3 mistakes”
Uber endgame content: “What’s a mirror of night?”

is there any way to cap the fps? like an launch parameter for steam?
from a quick search i found a video saying you can do this by placing '+fps_max60' (for example) in the launch options parameter, worth a shot 
lone urchin
Will do, Thanks Cosmic
tight flower
looking into it further i'm less confident about that because that command seems to be engine specific
(like somenoobdying said vsync should cap it at 60 iirc, hopefully that's a somewhat helpful limit 
)
(and on further reading, i actually think the framerate might be capped by default, and a launch parameter exists to unlock it)

Dash striking my beloved
gleaming granite
You dash around on shield & bow too?
well you did say something abt dashing is a bother for new players
somber frigate
Yeah but at the same time
It’s a headache but how are you going to learn otherwise
And also, it’s more of “dash -> dash strike -> dash -> dash strike” then pure dash dash dash
You catch a break
gleaming granite
nah, I'd spam 2 dashes
somber frigate
why use 2 dashes at the same time unless you need to? It’s bow, you can’t just dashstrike dashstrike
gleaming granite
btw uh for spear I heavily recommend new players "blood-upgrading" it as, the damn thing is hella under powered
somber frigate
you can dash strike -> dash strike but you can’t dashstrike dashstrike if you get what I mean

one with bow
etc
hushed bone
ahhh
honestly this is a good feature lol
encourages players to master the whole game
somber frigate
it'd also mean i gotta learn all the optimal boons for each weapon
I mean…. 2 things
- it’s not really per weapon, it more per aspect
- it’s not exactly per aspect either, it’s more of the qualities of the aspect that tell you what boons r good
like anything that hits fast for lower damage is going to want flat damage sources on them, like zeus, dio or ares
ares always wants athena to combo with him on the special of the weapon, and on dash, so you can find merciful end and just dashstrike into everything
dio always wants aprhodite on special (or attack, if chiron), to find low tolerance for more stacks
Zeus just wants more zeus boons
and that’s going to stay the same regardless of weapon
that’s just how it comes together
A +% ain’t going to work as well on rail where it adds like 5 damage per bullet compared to lightning adding a minimum of 10 (and aoe)
But when you’re attacking once a second with bow for heavy damage, flat damage is adding like 10 to your 50 damage hit, compared to a +% boon adding ~50 more for double
It really comes down to understanding the qualities of the aspects moves & how gods interact with each other rather than (oh heartbreak strike is good on bow because someone told me it is) if you want to be able to develop the knowledge

somber frigate
what chaos boons shld i be taking
Depends on what you’re focus on
& the curses attached
like when you’re playing zag bow your strike damage is your main damage source, so you look for dstrike & strike boons, check their numbers, then check the curses
An epic dashstrike boon may be leagues more damage than a common strike, but if you’re in tartarus, an enshrouded curse could lead you to a bad start since you can’t make your own decisions @ the part of the game where decisions are the most crucial to forming your build
or maybe your aspect is more build for casts
Then you take extra stones & cast damage
if your weapon has a low base damage strike don’t bothed, go for special +% instead
Rarity always good, obols +% always decent, +max hp is an option if the rest don’t make sense for your weapon &or there aren’t any better curses
hushed bone

Cast builds is it's strong point
Can do hunting blades (start ares, find/force artemis for attack or smth, get duo)
There's lightning phalanx (athena cast + zeus)
If you don't want a specific cast build you can start tidal dash then pick based on what you get
Stuff like trippy shot/||crystal beam|| also work but you want the stygian soul skill for these
So you can throw more of them instead of waiting for their effect to run out
From there just add dmg through chaos/charon wells
And hermes hyper sprint + rush delivery always works (but lodging casts may want quick reload instead)
Best hammer is flurry jab by far

Yes. Someone recommended those charts to understand the system
dusty vault
Was it reddit
lone urchin
yep
dusty vault
What a surprise
Arrow means that X boon will open Y
So take divine strike/dash/etc > now you can get blinding flash
Priority means the game well, prioritizes those boons over others
So if you have attack and special filled and cast/dadh empty
When you pick up a boon the game will make the first option one of those empty 100% of the time
Tho I need to say
When a god has their curse statis as a t2 boon (boon that needs another to show) they have a 50% to be placed over other boons so I'd still call those priority
If the chart is confusing I'll wait until you have the codex upgrade for the boon list
It highlights what unlocks what much better

Lol, You could have started there and save the explanation, thanks for it
dusty vault
Explaining priority is still helpful so I don't mind
Helps when you want to maximize for duos

Take tidal dash and dash into enemies

hollow hull
No
dusty vault

hushed bone
it's the one that uh

Dash + breaking wave = styx begone
hushed bone
gives the dot/0.2 s
dusty vault
But is the highest dmg dash
It gets to like 75~ dmg at lvl 5
hushed bone
but eris wants a % on special right
dusty vault
Combine that+ eris buff for free dmg
dusty vault
but eris wants a % on special right
Also yeah
hushed bone
ok so it seems eris wld go like
either zeus or dionysus atk
then poseidon dashes
take a god with a hard hitting special

the building is quite punishing

Curse of vengeance?

Unless you have rocket, weak application is awkward

Ideally you want aphro on special
i did not run trippy shot just now
dusty vault
Unless you have rocket, weak application is awkward
And may want to save dash for smth better
dusty vault
Eris is cheaper if that's something

Tbh just do a coinflip if you like both
Or upgrade one, do a run and press give up mid run so you revert the save and test the other
hollow hull
Or just keep playing and get more blood
😈
hushed bone
~~Tbh just do a coinflip if you like both~~
is there a community consensus tho
logically/theoretically speaking
dusty vault
Both are top aspects lmao
dusty vault
Yeah hera strength doesn't matter much on lvls
Enemies will drop the casts if you kill them anyways 
hushed bone
15% isnt crazy broken ig
dusty vault
And bosses you can get quick reload/be fancy and learn wallbug
dusty vault

It does take practice, is mostly used for speedrunning

But really

mmm then which is more braindead / easier for newbies

oh

that actl does make sense
viscid notch
And not as intuitive to scale
hushed bone
u could fk urself up lodging ur casts in the wrong mob
ur dps wld plummet like crazy
on top of that there's also bosses

but wait
zeus or dio atk
n which special
viscid notch
Zeus is better overall
dusty vault
Zeus
viscid notch
You can go for any % Special. Artemis or Aphro is ideeal
The dash is more important, you should look for Tidal Dash and pick whatever Special you come across
hollow hull
You really really want jolted
hushed bone
which gods r well known for those
dusty vault
Static discharge from zeus
hollow hull
From Zeus
dusty vault
Breaking wave/razor shoals from pos
hollow hull
And prioritize poms into jolted and tdash over attack
dusty vault
If you have arte, hunter's mark/pp/support fire are nice
Aphro can do zeus call into smair
But yeah focus on what dragon said
hushed bone
maybe i shld've given nectar to zeus n artemis lmao
n aphro
oh n keepsake ? appntly cerberus n skelly r good for newbies ?
hushed bone
typically what's the room reward priority
hollow hull
Generally as you get better with dodging, you’ll want to prioritize control over your build
hollow hull
typically what's the room reward priority
Kinda whatever works for the build
Mini boss rooms will be faster generally
Skill rooms will also generally be faster since they only spawn armored enemies
hushed bone
wasn't armour a bad thing
hollow hull
Well
I’m talking from a speedrunning perspective, where fewer enemies is better since you’re probably instakilling them anyways
Eris does fine with more enemies bc of Zeus attack
But honestly even for learning, it’s easier for me to keep track of a few enemies rather than a bunch
If you are looking for other time save, chaos/fountains/shop are free
Chaos isn’t great on eris unless you get special damage boost
So just take the least bad curse
For blue laurel rewards, keys, nectar, gems, darkness are the generally prioritized order
hushed bone
Chaos isn’t great on eris unless you get special damage boost
oh
wait but i alw took chaos by default lmao
hollow hull
Yeah it’s a nice timesave but I’m just saying the buffs aren’t that great
dusty vault
Rarity/hp still decent
hollow hull
So take it, but if there’s another skip to choose between, don’t feel obligated to take chaos bc it won’t make or break your run

just feels weird, I think is the lack of nockback and the low amount of bullets
restive portal
The Hestia aspect fixes that, but only after 3 or more levels, so it's an expensive investment.
With Hestia you're just constantly reloading and dash striking
Maybe unlock Hestia and give it a go. Also put boons on the special with Eris rail, then you don't even care about bullets.
Rail is one of the better weapons generally.
But also Demeter fists.
I'm assuming you've not unlocked any of the 4th aspects yet.
Hidden aspects.
lone urchin
Nop, I guess I could. I have like 6 or so bloods
restive portal
If you quit a run without dying or saving you go back to the courtyard. So you can unlock something, even upgrade it, and try a run providing you give up.
Don't leave the courtyard to go back into the bedroom though, that will save too.
When you get back in the courtyard the weapon will go back to being locked (the state it was in at the last save when you last entered the courtyard).
So go to courtyard, unlock weapon to test, start run, have fun but give up before you die.
Don't quit out the game either as that's a save, give up the run.

hollow hull
What's the best way to use my titan blood do I use it only in one weapon ??
If you keep playing, you’ll eventually have enough for all weapons and aspects and more left over. Pick a weapon you like and focus that
Once that’s max, you can pick another one, etc
leaden whale
Ok so just focus on own weapon because I unlocked ||heat||
And they are still stuck on 1
For some reason
restive portal
@leaden whale (post final boss spoilers) ||Heat does not cause weapons to be upgraded automatically. Heat is a way to get more Titan Blood, and that's what you can use to upgrade weapons||. And now you've beaten final boss (congrats), maybe #h1-discussion is a better channel for your questions.
leaden whale
I'm saying like should I focus only on one weapon?? Or mix and match
dusty vault
If you like multiple weapons, while it will keep the upgrades weaker you'll have more options
Or you could upgrade one aspect, and win over and over ||through the pact to receive all of its bounties||, the move to the next weapon
leaden whale
||ok so I'm better off doing once aspect and win than go to another aspect for the same weapon ?? ||
restive portal
But you don't need to ||upgrade the weapon for that, it's the heat level that matters||

The point of just upgrading one is to have easy wins ||until the bounties cap out||
ivory reef
in some builds I see people mentioning one god for attack and another god for a special. What does this mean?
For example I wanted to go a low tolerance build but I’m new so I don’t really know what Aphrodite attack and Dionysus special means 😅
errant kraken
get heartbreak strike (aphrodite’s attack boon) and drunken flourish (dionysus’ special boon)
each god has one boon for each core ability (attack, special, dash, cast, call) and you can only have one boon for each of those abilities at a time
ivory reef
oohhhh ok
errant kraken
aphrodite attack gives a high % damage boost and inflicts weak
ivory reef
so do I need to use the aphro keepsake in order to get the attack first?
or does that not rly matter
errant kraken
dionysus gives no damage buff but adds a certain amount of hangover damage
it helps yeah
errant kraken
if you’re looking for a specific build you’ll want to use keepsakes to get the gods/boons you want
errant kraken
for low tolerance probably start with dionysus to get the hangover special since i assume that’s what you’re focusing on
then add aphrodite in asphodel, get her attack, then look for low tolerance

hera and ||beo|| for cast assisted builds
restive portal
Aspects are just weapon variants. Use them, or don't. They give you more scope for different builds with different strengths, but they are not the aim of the game. As you move past simply struggling to beat the final boss and start to increase difficulty (via ||heat||) you'll end up with enough Titan Blood to unlock everything eventually. Or maybe you're a player who makes it to credits and puts the game down, in which case aspects won't matter much either way.
Overall Hades is a game about constructing builds from the semi random boons you get during a run, so it's probably good to think about that aspect of things. But weapon aspects are just one part of putting a build together.
The basic advice if you have some Titan Blood to spend would be to either upgrade the weapon you're most successful with, or save it for a weapon you like the look of (there are guides that explain each aspect).
