he doesn't

hollow hull
#

rip

old bridge
#

i got the first on the fists

#

and the bow

hollow hull
#

uh merciful ends or zeus attack are fun on fists

#

hangover fists too

old bridge
#

i like aspect of talos

hollow hull
#

could still do zeus or ares

old bridge
#

alr

#

i prefer ares

hollow hull
#

in that case look for athena special, dash, and the duo merciful end

old bridge
#

aqlr

#

@hollow hull got any builds with the bow? (aspect of chiron)

hollow hull
#

dio special

#

or artemis

old bridge
#

luckily, i have both they keepsakes

hollow hull
#

fair warning that chiron is one of the weaker aspects

cedar delta
#

I wish Chiron was a slower Hestia

old bridge
hollow hull
#

put thunder flourish on it and look for static discharge and sources of hangover, doom, and more zeus

#

zeus is the only aspect where the special is actually useful

old bridge
#

?

#

how come

#

i think the normal special is better

dusty vault
#

Normal special disables your attack (and thus your block/bullrush) until it comes back

old bridge
#

so how am i meant to use the special on zeus

#

zeus aspect*

dusty vault
#

Get used to recall it constantly to keep the shield on the enemy

#

Like a yo-yo

#

Can also use your attack to push enemies into the shield

old bridge
#

oh, so if i keep the sheild on them its just constant damage?

dusty vault
#

Or recall it and let it chase you while you guide it through enemies

old bridge
#

shield*

old bridge
#

dont it stun too?

dusty vault
#

It hits every 0.3 seconds iirc

#

Yeah it stuns

old bridge
#

oh so thats crazy

#

bosses too?

dusty vault
#

Bosses can't be stunned

old bridge
#

oh

dusty vault
#

But you have your block for that lol

old bridge
#

fr

#

sheild is fun to play too

#

did i spell that right

#

idk

#

shield

dusty vault
#

Shield

old bridge
#

no i didnt

#

i have 13 nectar, so what do i do with it

#

ive already given it to everyone

dusty vault
#

Just give it to whoever you like if you all the keepsakes already

#

It'll advance their storylines if you wanna see more of them

old bridge
#

oh

#

alr

#

i thought i could use it for trading or sum

dusty vault
#

Some characters do have an extra reward but it'll be a while

old bridge
#

does achilles give anythin else?

dusty vault
#

Yeah

#

||is one of those big locks where you see your keepsakes, let's you do a summon||

old bridge
#

oh

#

how do i stop the shield

dusty vault
#

The shield stops at a specific distance

old bridge
#

oh

dusty vault
#

Gotta get used to constantly recall it

old bridge
#

what would u say the best weapon and aspect is if it isnt the zeus shield

dusty vault
#

Uhhh prob zag bow? Assuming you haven't escaped yet and need something cheap

old bridge
#

eh

dusty vault
#

Eris rail gets the job done too

old bridge
#

so just normal bow?

dusty vault
#

Yeah
Built in crit is just nice

#

And cheap to max

old bridge
#

anything for spear of sword?

#

or*

dusty vault
#

Nemesis for sword/achilles for spear

old bridge
#

alr

#

be real, cast is useless.

dusty vault
#

Is good but if you don't know what to do with it it can feel that way

#

If you aren't doing a cast build you mainly want it for boiling blood (mirror, +50% attack/special when the enemy has a cast in them)/lightning rod (zeus-arty duo, casts on the ground constantly zap enemies) or just take a cast boon to open a duo you want

old bridge
#

ahat does eris aspect even do

#

what*

dusty vault
#

If you are in the area where your special lands you deal +15% (per level) dmg for 4s

#

This buff not only works on the dmg done by the rail but also any other dmg source from zag

#

So it buffs your dmg from your dash or calls for example

#

Or zeus bolts

old bridge
#

alr

#

i feel like the zeus aspect on shield is gonna be kinda bad butt ill try it

#

but*

hollow hull
#

its one of the best weapons in the game

old bridge
#

alr

hollow hull
#

esp with explosive return

old bridge
#

holy it shreds hp though

hollow hull
#

yeah

vale portal
#

wtf how is someone supposed to speedrun this game in 2 and a half minutes

#

what the hell is the OwO category

hollow hull
hollow hull
#

'one weapon only'

cedar delta
vale portal
hollow hull
#

unseeded runs can get as low as 4:30

vale portal
hollow hull
#

what

sweet brook
#

the more common "standard" of speedrunning is typically sub10 for most people lmao

#

obv people push lower but most people tend to get a sub10 and be happy with that

inland tendon
#

my lowest is 9.44

the thing is i wasn’t even going for speed lmao i was just doing a casual EM4 BP2 run with eris and everything just so happened to fall into place despite a 3 sack

#

the funniest thing was my previous lowest was 10.11 when i was actually trying to be fast with eris lmao

toxic peak
#

I have like a 7 win streak

#

yes im pro...

Perhaps.

supple aspen
#

guys what the hell do i do with titan blood and gems

#

and also ambrosia

grave prawn
# supple aspen guys what the hell do i do with titan blood and gems

gems are for some specific upgrades at the house contractor
for ambrosia, at some point you have to use it instead of nectar to advance character relationship. also has another use very late game
titan blood is for your weapons, it's best you see it for yourself. just keep playing and you'll see soon

outer flint
supple aspen
#

oh okay thanks

supple aspen
cedar delta
#

Ambrosia has a limitless supply via Wretched Broker or Fishing

grave prawn
#

technically you can get an infinite amount of each with the broker but it'd take lots of farming
also i recommend you don't trade ambrosia for titan blood, you need a LOT of ambrosia late game

outer flint
dusty vault
#

There's more ambrosia than you need, blood is the opposite

#

Just don't go overboard

old bridge
#

.

#

i forgot what i was boutta

#

how do u get gilgamesh aspec

frank geyser
#

Have five Titan in blood across all fist aspects and then meet the Minotaur at his solo encounter in elysium and then you can go back to the fists after the run and you should be able to buy the aspect there

old bridge
#

ive only collected 5 total 😭

#

getting it easy though

#

u got any spear builds?

frank geyser
#

You get 10 blood by beating hades with all weapons

frank geyser
#

Ares is probably best

old bridge
#

spear or shield are easily the most fun to play imo

#

i know an op wuild w nemesis aspec tho

frank geyser
old bridge
#

ares special, athena dash, the the most sober man you know on attack (dionysus)

#

then just get as much crit as you can

#

or just stack status effects

#

thats why you get dion on attack and ares on special

frank geyser
#

I would get posioden on attack and then get a rupture boon

frank geyser
#

But it’s nemesis and he has divine dash

outer flint
#

oh

#

i cant read btw

dusty vault
#

Unless u are willing to meme with sea storm

frank geyser
#

Cos I don’t think ares doom triggers the mirror buff

dusty vault
#

It does

#

But you can also just not use that talent

frank geyser
#

What does the other one do again

dusty vault
#

+5% per olympian you have a boon from

#

Often is 25% (4 gods + hermes)

#

The upside is that you don't deal with having to take weird setups (or extra boons) for the 2 curses

You also get the boost from chamber 1

frank geyser
#

It’s broken on Rama tho

#

Just get dio keepsake and get special

tidal condor
#

Nemesis gets to crit on attack so it really likes Aphrodite attack

#

A crit with Dionysus attack isn’t very meaningful

tall stump
#

not sure why but Hades aint starting up. game crashes every timne i load it

#

guess ill uninstall and reinstall

tall phoenix
#

|| lets say that I beat a boss with a heat 3 without doing a heat 2 run, will I be able to obtain the rewards again once I do a heat 2 run?||

random sage
#

||So 2 heat 3 runs for both heat 2 & 3 bounties||

tall phoenix
#

|| So I can experiment with heat without harming future runs, nice||

hollow hull
old bridge
#

can anyone recommend a build

grave prawn
old bridge
#

i dont mind just as long as i dont have to aim

outer flint
#

fists with zeus atk+static discharge and poseidon dash is pretty good

#

its simple and easy

old bridge
#

ALR

#

alr*

#

u got anything for spear?

outer flint
#

either aphro atk or ares atk

#

i usually dodnt use spear

novel swift
#

Arty attack plus flurry jab hammer with Tdash is a strong combo fo spear

frank geyser
fresh current
#

Zag shield is my favorite brainless unga bunga aspect. Put aphro or arty on the attack and Athena on dash and you’ve got a party. Don’t even bother bullrushing, just dash around the room smacking things around with the attack button until you win

#

Good aspect for privileged status too if you roll that way and get lucky

hollow hull
#

Hammerless shield 🗿

old bridge
#

i wanna do the night and darkness prophecy but it isnt showing up, ive already given 6 nectar to nyx,

random sage
old bridge
fresh current
#

The only ones worth filling in immediately are Meg and bouldy fwiw, the rest can wait if you’re short on ambrosia

random sage
old bridge
fresh current
#

Meg gives better damage, bouldy gives health boosts + darkness and money

old bridge
#

so i just gotta keep talking to them?

fresh current
#

Yeah

random sage
#

Yep

old bridge
#

fair, if only chaos axtually wanted to appear 😔

#

like i never find him

fresh current
#

Eventually it should proc the dialog that unlocks the purchase

old bridge
#

doesnt it cost like

#

3k darkness

cedar delta
#

Yep!

old bridge
#

eh

#

i can just reset my mirror

#

alr ty

#

and screw theseus

weak goblet
#

I just got this blood thing. It looks like an investment tool. What weapon should I ‘invest’ in?

old bridge
old bridge
weak goblet
# old bridge whats so confusing?

I was gonna send an image but I can’t so I’ll try and explain what I mean: like when I pick up a weapon I can select it and it shows up with aspects, is that what you mean?

old bridge
weak goblet
old bridge
#

ye a platformer

weak goblet
#

I used the bow and fists for a bit

old bridge
#

ehh

#

i dont really play bow

#

but for fists the best aspect is gilgamesh

#

which is the locked one that u see

weak goblet
#

Anyway I’m used to a dead cells playstyle so whatever weapon is similar to that rush in and spam /stun/wait for 15minutes spamming a 2 damage item

sweet brook
weak goblet
sweet brook
#

it is def not the best fists by far

old bridge
old bridge
sweet brook
#

you can say that with a lot of aspects

old bridge
#

but funny punch

weak goblet
#

Malphon

sweet brook
#

yeah demeter fists will do better than gilga lmao

weak goblet
#

Is it’s name

old bridge
#

but zeus aspect shield is good

#

so id say save for that

weak goblet
#

Can I DM one of yous so I can show images

sweet brook
sweet brook
weak goblet
#

Idk how to

sweet brook
#

send the image to a private server/dm with yourself
right click
hit "copy link"

old bridge
#

right click an image then press copy link

sweet brook
#

or upload to imgur and send that here

weak goblet
#

I know that this game has an almost 3d style though

weak goblet
weak goblet
#

I’ll try it

sweet brook
sweet brook
weak goblet
#

It’s not sending

old bridge
#

what do cthonic companions even do

sweet brook
#

you can use them in a run, up to a max of 5 times

#

and they'll help you in some way depending on who's you have

old bridge
#

so what so they do?

#

aarent they like calls or something

sweet brook
#

depends on which one you have

#

similar

weak goblet
#

I sent a DM of what I think is necessar

old bridge
#

i know thans is an attack one

weak goblet
#

Cuz I’m a dumbass that can’t send images

#

👍

sweet brook
#

most deal damage, some do other things on top of that

#

or deal damage differently

#

kinda just depends on whos you have

#

some dont deal damage

#

some are functionally useless lmao

sweet brook
#

and what would fit your playstyle

weak goblet
#

I’m sure this is for new players

sweet brook
#

i mean the answer is just whatever you want lmao

#

they're all viable

#

whatever weapon you liked before you discovered aspects just pick one that sounds cool and see if you like it

#

titans blood is pretty abundant

weak goblet
sweet brook
#

it's more abundant later on

#

you don't really have to worry about spending it on the wrong thing bc later on you'll be able to get a lot more

weak goblet
#

What about the mirror thing

#

And what’s the ??? Aspect at the bottom

sweet brook
#

those are hidden aspects, just a different way of getting them and they play more differently than the other aspects

#

typically a change of play style more or less

weak goblet
#

Ok

#

How do I get it

#

Tbis game is a lot harder than dead cells

sweet brook
#

your mirror ngl i closed the dm after i skimmed the images so i dont remember what your mirror is lmao

sweet brook
# weak goblet How do I get it

either just play the game and you'll find out eventually on accident (like i did) or they're pinned in #h1-story-discussion
at your stage in the game, you wont be discovering them in a while so i wouldn't worry about them atm

sweet brook
#

how many hours do you have in hades roughly

#

bc when i started dead cells i had like 500ish hours in hades so like the first clear in dead cells was pretty easy for me, but after that it got considerably more difficult and i haven't gotten too far lmao

#

and imo dead cells is harder than hades, but i'm sure if i put in more time into dead cells it wouldn't be as hard

#

i do have my various reasons for why i think dead cells is harder but i'm sure someone who's played both games extensively would tell me i'm probably wrong lmao

weak goblet
#

2d/3d games play A LOT differently

#

That’s why they failed sm64

weak goblet
#

I mean I’m at the point in dead cells that I can do collector hitless (hardest boss, woukd NEVER recommend)

#

In hades, I’m at the point I have a 30% chance of beating the bone boss guy surrounded by lava (forgot name)

sweet brook
#

ngl if you can do that in dead cells, once you get your bearings in hades it'll be cake walk for you lmao

weak goblet
#

I’m a cookie clicker player

#

🙂‍↔️

sweet brook
#

sounds like you're mostly in the adjustment phase, since if you're able to do that mechanically, it should translate to hades pretty easily

weak goblet
sweet brook
#

2d to 3d is a big adjustment but you'll be fine in the long run

weak goblet
sweet brook
#

it do be like that

weak goblet
#

Im more used to 3d games in general, but when it comes to small, more focused areas (anything that isn’t Zelda) I’m decent at it

#

I played Pokémon as a child (and adult)

#

But it’s not the same as real time skill

cedar delta
#

Pokémon gets very, very involved when you play competitive!

sweet brook
#

i tried learning competitive pokemon for a bit and it made my brain hurt

cedar delta
#

It's like super chess

sweet brook
#

it's like chess but with health bars

inland tendon
#

(remember kids, if it aint 100% accurate, it's 50% accurate)

cedar delta
#

Rock Slide never stuns your opponent and always stuns you

inland tendon
#

focus blast more like focus miss

#

scald always burns 100% of the time for your opponent, and never burns when you use it

#

that kyurem on the opponents team will always be the one set you are weak to

old bridge
#

anyone know how to unlock night and darkness prophecy on the fated list of prophecies

old bridge
random sage
#

I think you just need ||Chaos until locked heart, and Nyx at locked heart then you wait for their dialogue to advance then purchase something from work orders||

old bridge
#

i have them at locked

random sage
#

Every favour can reasonably be gotten with time honestly

random sage
old bridge
#

so i just need to keep talking to them?

random sage
#

Yep

old bridge
#

alr

random sage
old bridge
#

uh

random sage
#

You will 100% need that then

random sage
#

Yep

old bridge
#

i have it

#

so what about it

random sage
#

You'll figure it out soon enough keylol_smirk

old bridge
#

😨 (i dont mind spoilers if it is one)

random sage
#

Nah, just keep playing, it really shouldn't take long now

old bridge
#

alright, so just keep talking to nyx and chaos?

random sage
#

Yep

#

Good luck, boss ZagSalute

old bridge
# random sage Yep

they arent talking about eachother, ive talked to them both like 7 times.

random sage
#

Sounds about right, keep going

old bridge
#

oh

random sage
frank geyser
#

Oh

#

Maybe you are on another quest’s dialogue

old bridge
#

like she just said 'darkness guude you'

#

so i think im doing something wrong

#

its the same with chaos

grave prawn
#

sometimes the game just doesn't want to give you what you want

old bridge
#

so like

#

ive STILL gotta keep talking until they say something about eachother

grave prawn
#

for example i remember ||hypnos|| was infamous for taking soooo long to open his last heart but i got him pretty easily

grave prawn
old bridge
#

oh, so i just gotta keep speaking to them until the lock heart unlocks?

old bridge
#

i thought i had to give them ambrosia to unlock it

grave prawn
#

the heart may not open immediately, you may have to buy something from the house contractor or do specific task first, but you'll get a big notification on what to do

grave prawn
old bridge
#

to max relationship?

grave prawn
#

yes

#

i recommend you don't focus on one relationship, specifically because of this rng nature
follow some other characters' storylines simultaneously

old bridge
#

im probably just gonna play normally and work on it

old bridge
# grave prawn yes

but can u recommend something for my build i haved in my current runhttps://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1095093171307950220/1315312593816129596/image.png?ex=6756f3cf&is=6755a24f&hm=956a76c530737c792872068b2d03a1b86c554eb96e59244094be47bb2d43ef24&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=220&height=332

hey guys

steady lark
#

hi

sage notch
#

i was wondering how to complete some of the story relater profecies because ive had them there for a while and i cant seem to complete them

steady lark
#

which ones

sage notch
#

the "employ the guys to renovate the lounge" one, the "learn to play the lire" one and the one to reunite orpheus and the girl

fresh current
old bridge
#

asphodel is so annoying cuz of the magma

hollow hull
#

For hammers, explosive return or charged shot are good

old bridge
hollow hull
#

I greatly dislike it

old bridge
#

i like it with zeus on attack

#

and special

#

cuz the lightning goes crazy

hollow hull
#

Yeah Zeus is nice, but it slows down the animation of starting a bullrush

old bridge
#

i rarely use bullrush apart from blocking

steady lark
#

thats got to be the most intentional spoiler yet

old bridge
#

kaboom

#

mb

hollow hull
#

Delete it

#

@old bridge

old bridge
#

so like

#

why

random sage
#

Just RNG

#

I've had Patroclus hold back just plain old dialogue for 300 runs or so and got recently

random sage
grave prawn
# sage notch the "employ the guys to renovate the lounge" one, the "learn to play the lire" o...

i don't remember the lounge having any specific requirements, just talk with hades at every opportunity and check the house contractor often
for the lire, just interact with it every time you pass through your room. it takes MANY runs to finish it
for orphy and the girl just fill up both their hearts as much as you can then talk with them at any opportunity you get. you'll get it eventually

What’s a good aspect for a revenge build

#

I was thinking something on the fists

#

Like Gilgamesh or Zagreus

steady lark
#

Arthur for more hp

frank geyser
#

K thx

#

But do I still use the bonus health or damage from the mirror

sweet brook
#

thick skin

#

you'll need the hp if you're gonna go for revenge bc that relies on getting hit

#

unless ofc the zeus ares duo which i forgot the name of

#

but at that point it wouldn't really matter what aspect you're using lmao

dusk python

#

yeah that's the one

frank geyser
#

How does archilles buff work on crystal beams is it per crystal or for the first hits of the beam

sweet brook
#

per crystal

frank geyser
#

Does hades spear debuff last forever or a set time

random sage
#

only affects the normal attack and special

frank geyser
#

The bonus damage

frank geyser
#

Rip no bonus cast damage

random sage
#

Yeahhhhh

frank geyser
#

Although that would just make archilles irrelevant

random sage
#

At least achilles' boosts charged too

novel swift
#

It would not make Achilles irrelevant, Achilles has Flurry Jab

frank geyser

can someone give me a good build for achilles spear

thin osprey
#

Can I even give me some tips of how to defeat the Minotaur I'll get to him and then within not even a quarter of the fight I'm back at the house

#

In the first game

random sage
#

There's his attack where he'll do a succession of 3 slams

#

On his 2-swing just get behind or wait it out entirely

#

No rush on how many attempts it takes though, practice is the only way you can get him

thin osprey
#

Fair enough yeah I understand that I've reached him like six times and died every single one it's just starting to get frustrating cuz most the time the only way I've been able to beat the boss is run around if I'm lucky enough to get Doom or dionysuses thing that basically is poison until it dies

random sage
#

Try and stay aggressive to limit room for faults

#

Keep behind him and refer to the tips above

#

He was quite the curve for me too sifPensive

dusty vault
#

A non conventional stuff vs the solo bull fight is buying 2 of the trap dmg charon well item

#

Trap dmg is multiplicative so with 2 of them hitting the bull with the pillars makes him get hit for 3k lol

thin osprey
#

I don't I don't think I've ever seen that before

random sage
#

Stygian Shards in the shop pools you can find in normal chambers

#

It's RNG which sucks but huge

thin osprey
#

Oh those I don't see those very often and when I do I only really take stuff from them one if I have the coin until if it has an extra death revive or health

random sage
#

Good

steady lark
#

dont go out of your way for them

thin osprey
#

I don't know I've also been like really unlucky with boons these last few runs I think I only got maybe one or two before Meg which obviously set me up for death because I didn't have anything

#

Oop...

steady lark
#

that was funny if taken out of context

thin osprey
#

Sorry

#

I am really sorry for that guys I feel horrible please don't hate me

random sage
#

Just funny, happens all the time; can even search its usage in this server to see how common it is

thin osprey
#

Oh.... 😅

cedar delta
#

I don't even know the full context! All I know is that you accidentally said something funny

random sage
#

dearh defiance

old bridge

#

zeus should be fine to limit rng on both slots or whoever else you find

#

ares is great actually

old bridge
#

what do i put him on

random sage
#

need duo

old bridge
#

ill put him on dash for now

#

just so i can get zues and ares duo

#

nvm

#

i dont have a revenge boon

#

so imma just take blood frenzy

old bridge
random sage
#

what other options are there?

#

dio for hangover source might be nice but if not ares should be fine

old bridge
#

why does my hades randomly close

#

u got and other good builds?

#

any*

old bridge

theyre all justg normal boons

but on ketamine

#

i have a titans blood, should i save and invest in nemesis or buy an aspect

random sage
#

excluding zagspects

old bridge
#

uh ive got nemesis, achilles, zeus, chiron, and talos, so 5.

random sage
#

get the other bow aspect and you can do whatever

old bridge
#

uh

#

i suck with bow though 😭

#

so why

random sage
#

chirons not great on bow

#

its comfortable ngl, but its a huge lose of damage

old bridge
#

but why should i get the other aspect on bow

#

its my least used weapon

so you get better at it, and dark thirst

Of course you suck with it if you’re in h1 for new players bouldy

#

If you take like 3 minutes in the training area to practice power striking on dash strikes down you should get significantly better

a super easy place where new bow players go is not using the dash strike

aphrodite is the most consistent and considered the best

oh

anything else?

sweet brook

not reall, all the other casts are pretty mediocre lmao

athena's cast is like the same damage but if you miss, your cast flies across the room

hera's whole build is just the cast basically

how do i unlock it

do you have any other fourth aspects?

no

random sage

just keep playing and you'll start unlocking them

alr

#

when i actually want cast boons, i dont get them.

somber frigate
# old bridge how do i unlock it

You need the spear’s 4th aspect before you can get any of the others, and getting that one requires you to ||have like 5 random aspects||

#

the method for getting the rest of them is pinned in h1-story-discussion (or you can click the link below to take you straight to it)

This message exactly details everything you need to know for each hidden aspect, with appropriate spoilers so you don’t get blasted by unwanted info

hollow hull
#

eris, zag, and ||lucifer|| want zeus on attack, tidal dash, and a big % on special

#

you can do that or get spread fire with a % on attack

#

tidal dash start is a decent way to cover both of your bases and pivot in asphodel based on hammer

old bridge
#

wym %

#

like crit?

hollow hull
#

like aphro, artemis, athena

old bridge
#

oh

hollow hull
#

no just a % boost as opposed to flat damage

old bridge
#

would dion work on attack?

hollow hull
#

it's fine, kinda underwhelming though

old bridge
#

yeah

steady lark
#

zeus straight up outclasses dio

old bridge
#

but

#

dio is just chill like that 🙏

hollow hull
#

dio on call is much better

old bridge
#

fr

#

cus minimum 15 damage per tick is crazy

hollow hull
#

yeah

old bridge
#

zeus is better for raw dps tho

hollow hull
#

ehh

#

zeus and dio call are both good, but zeus is better for burst damage, and dio has more raw dps

old bridge
#

fair

steady lark
old bridge
#

is demeter even good

#

i havent seen her yet

#

(ik how to get her boons_

#

)

steady lark
#

they are bad

#

generally avoid

hollow hull
#

not really

#

apparently her call is ok, but i don't like chill. messes with my dodge timings

old bridge
#

of course the one time i want poseidon dash he doesnt give it to me 😐

#

i think dio works better for me

somber frigate
#

like Hera

#

where it sends out a burst of damage around you whenever you cast and with Hera you can just… spam all your casts in

novel swift
#

Rav Will is also nice

steady lark
#

its awkward to try to actively make use of

somber frigate
#

Dem call is like… not the worst call in game… and I love Killing Freeze with is zaggrin

#

Rare crop also has situational use

#

The only problem is all her core boons

fresh current
#

Chill lasts forever which is helpful for p. status and her % buffs aren’t atrocious, outside of that I don’t know why I ever want Demeter over another god

artemis?

#

oh

#

SDJFLJKWHNDFW

#

i made a mistake when writing

dusty vault
#

Oh its yours

old bridge
#

ye i wrote it down in docs so i can remember

#

so like is it good

#

bad?

dusty vault
#

Would probably just default into aphro special for heart rend instead

#

Or aphro attack + arty special
Can do zeus call for smair/rod

#

Best hammer for sword is double edge by far

old bridge
#

i prefer dion for passive damage

dusty vault
#

If you want dio take his call

#

Or use him on fists at least

old bridge
#

what is heart rend again

#

oh

dusty vault
#

Crits do +150% more dmg if enemy has weak

old bridge
#

yeah im not really good at builds

#

considering im here

dusty vault
#

If you want to use hangover attack/special you mostly want a weapon that can apply it quickly

#

Like fists/rail or chiron bow

#

Other weapons would rather just stick to his call

old bridge
#

so any changes i should make

dusty vault
#

Can start aphro keepsake then take attack if good rarity, special if not then aim for artemis on the slot you missed

old bridge
#

shouldnt i aim to get 2 status effects for the mirror damage thing

dusty vault
#

Use the other option

#

That's why I advise against priv status lol

i legit beat theseus but as soon as i was boutta move away to get asterius i got hita damn 'RAUHDUAHDSUH!! HULK SMASHHh!!' lookin ahh attack

random sage
#

yeah, but preferably arty on attack for more crits

#

alcocall ftw!!!!!!

#

just dont do both alcocall and drunken dash though

old bridge
#

yeah thats that i put a slash

#

for either or

#

because imeainly need them for suo boons

#

duo*

novel swift
#

Honestly, nasty dash is just not that great in general ngl

old bridge

ye its interchangeable

#

id take poseidon over dion on dash any day

#

before you say it i dont like athena dash

old bridge

i can just avoid 🤷‍♂️

(i say that after i just got hulk smashed by asterius

ares attack, athena special, athena dash, ares cast

i usually choose ares, dionysus, demeter boons for shield

should i trade ambrosia for titan blood

if you want an aspect

#

wait

#

how much u got rn?

#

(blood)

reef hedge
#

1

#

i upgrade weapons already

dusty vault
#

There's some excess of total ambrosia vs what's needed for everything

old bridge
#

i recommend using that on sword to get nemesis on sword, or trade ambrosia for blood to get zeus aspect on shield.

reef hedge
#

zeus is good fit with shield????

#

i hate zeus

old bridge
#

zeus aspect

#

not boon

reef hedge
#

oh ok

hollow hull
reef hedge
reef hedge
#

he's weak imo

random sage
#

nah

#

hes great flat damage

#

especially if you don't want to lose any potential loss of damage because dio effectively has a cap and zeus will just keep going

#

zeus is great for rail too

reef hedge
#

what's flat damage

random sage
#

they don't scale (%) with any prior damage

#

so weak but fast attacks are for those flat numbers and percents are for high damaging attacks such as rail special

any tips

somber frigate
#

Megaera is usually pretty telegraphed. Try to always keep a dash so that when she flies upward to do her big circular aoe, you can get out of range

#

feel free to use the pillars in the arena to your advantage, her projectiles won’t go through them and she’ll have a harder time dashing to you through them

rigid crane
#

is blade dash good

#

aw man this is like the most average question ever

somber frigate
#

…not exactly

#

it’s like fine-ish

#

Not a top tier dash but not really bad either yk

rigid crane
#

whats top tier

somber frigate
#

Tidal Dash (for offense) & Divine Dash (for defence)

rigid crane
#

alr thx

somber frigate
#

I mean Divine dash has a build where it’s required for damage but

#

That’s less on the innate offensive abilities of divine dash and more just due to the deflecting at the same time as your dash strikes

rigid crane
#

i just got divine dash

#

or should i just go with more m1 damage

#

im using spear

somber frigate
#

What weapon are-

#

mmm

#

+%’s a little awkward on spear strikes but it can certainly work

rigid crane
#

oh what

#

spear has little base dmg?

somber frigate
#

It’s like 25-30 unless you’re spinning and spinning takes… a while

rigid crane
#

oh

#

ill just go with m1 then

#

actually deflect sounds cool

#

ill go with dash

#

yoo the shield lasts way longer than i expected

somber frigate
#

Divine dash does help quite a bit w/ dashing around, particularly in projectile heavy rooms & fights

i almost died in the trial
