hot yoke
#

Yes
Really

edgy latch
#

almost all weapons have a big attack you can use for that

#

im pretty good at positioning etc

#

if you use ruthless reflex u may not want to go backstab all the time

agile yacht
candid nimbus
#

O thanks, was just about to go test

hot yoke
#

It's 50% more damage
Regardless of the enemies health
On 90% of enemies and even bosses
The only thing that holds it back is your own skill
Also fiery is awful on bosses
It only applies once and they have thousands of hp

sage sigil
#

Hey, i created a game on normal mode is there a heat cap on normal or after sometime normalmode catch up to hellmode?

agile yacht
#

Looks like it only procs once on armoured enemies. Dang

candid nimbus
#

Darn

#

Would've been secret tech

agile yacht
#

Yeah for sure

edgy latch
#

@hot yoke its just you think you need to go backstab all the time but you dont

#

you can be safer if you dont, and get other bonuses

#

thats all

candid nimbus
#

Lemme test myself first though

edgy latch
#

you're prob trying to go as fast as possible or w/e

hot yoke
#

Bro it's easy to backstab and let's you kill enemies quicker

edgy latch
#

which is also not as safe etc

hot yoke
#

It literally improves you gameplay

edgy latch
#

do you play with FO also?^^

hot yoke
#

How is it not save being behind an enemy

candid nimbus
#

Shadow is pretty good yeah, but fiery can be interesting at times.

edgy latch
#

yeah

hot yoke
#

Played with fo yes
It's obviously harder then
But still applies imo

#

I'm not fully against fiery

nova helm
#

This game is really good at catering to playstyle preferences.

sour kite
#

I think fiery as being very weapon specofic

edgy latch
#

so you understand, there are actualy choices : O @crude wave

hot yoke
#

I'm just saying "only in fringe cases"

edgy latch
#

@hot yoke *

#

and not just your style

sour kite
#

even Chrion is good at using Shadowy

red frigate
#

Only a few enemies have an attack that hits behind them, and all the bosses have a move that is a 360 attack. but only one or two. it is generally safer being behind

hot yoke
#

My argument is shadow is better in most cases

sour kite
#

but Shadow is also my default setting shrug

hot yoke
#

We're talking about better not viabke

lofty verge
#

firey on special sword

hot yoke
#

Viable

edgy latch
#

i just switch them around its fine

hot yoke
#

It's not about my style m8
It's about pure and cold advantage

sour kite
#

I think shadowy is the better mirror choice, and its effect is objectively stronger

#

but there are runs you can take Fiery

red frigate
#

Nearly anything is "viable" in this game (really good balancing on the developers part)

hot yoke
#

Also it's insane with more chaos backstabbing bonuses

edgy latch
#

if you play with FO

#

it depends on the settings and weapons

hot yoke
#

Nearly anything is "viable" in this game (really good balancing on the developers part)
@red frigate that's outta discussion bobcat :D

#

As I said m8

edgy latch
#

it depends if you're trying to do something like spinning spear attack first etc

hot yoke
#

I'm not saying you should never play it

edgy latch
#

which can't backstab btw

#

some attacks can't backstab

hot yoke
#

I'm saying it's better in most cases

edgy latch
#

because its the cases that you are setting up

sour kite
#

I think we're agreed then

hot yoke
#

You can tell me single instances

sour kite
#

Fiery presence is better

#

when it's better

edgy latch
#

exactly

hot yoke
#

Hmm and you're not setting isolated cases up?

#

Like skulls and the spear spin

edgy latch
#

yes you just go this choice is better im saying it depends

candid nimbus
#

Oh that's a shame, should let fiery do more damage against armor shadegrief

hot yoke
#

I'm saying "this choice is better in most cases"

#

As I already stated multiple times

sour kite
#

yes, and that is 100% compatible with

edgy latch
#

could use some buff on fiery maybe, or ruthless reflex

#

idk

hot yoke
#

I'm not saying it has no merits

#

Jesus

sour kite
#

Fiery Presence is fine to take sometimes

#

Dude, take a brath

candid nimbus
#

Fiery should count armor as undamaged, so you can use it as an armor strip buff

sour kite
#

you're not fundamentally disagreeing

#

so just breathe

hot yoke
#

I am nit

edgy latch
#

it would be interesting but then need smaller bonus prob for balance @candid nimbus

hot yoke
#

My problem is I'm trying to communicate that

red frigate
#

hakuna thine tatas

upbeat swallow
#

is the save file backed up on steam cloud?

candid nimbus
#

If the setting is active yes

hot yoke
#

I would like fiery how @candid nimbus described
Would make it nice against armor

candid nimbus
#

A side-grade instead of a 1-of

edgy latch
#

bit more consistent and easy to use

#

but fiery nice the way it works, cause you always have some strong attack on almost any weapon

hot yoke
#

Side grade yeah

edgy latch
#

just hit with special first for example etc

sour kite
#

I reckon I take Fiery 10% of the time

lofty verge
#

backstab is more consistent

#

you can proc it every single time

edgy latch
#

i take it about half the time

sour kite
#

interesting

edgy latch
#

i switch mirror traits around and do 50% yellow 50% red each time

#

for example

red frigate
#

You know... I just want to take a moment to state that playing the game with godmode off for the entirety of my 20+ runs (didn't know what it was) and then turning it on makes everything like... bonkers easy

edgy latch
#

stubborn defiance is great, but on EM4 its not

hot yoke
#

Yeah you have a stronger attack on most weapons
But it only really shines on really high damage weapons

sour kite
#

I personally find

hot yoke
#

And in those cases it's nice

candid nimbus
#

Can be, Godmode isn't a cure all though

hot yoke
#

No question

edgy latch
#

or ruthless reflex is great, but on forced overtime its not depending on your weapon, if you dont get some hermes things

sour kite
#

the green talents for the last 3 mirror are the best

#

I tinker with the rest of my mirror between runs tho

hot yoke
#

Ruthless reflex is nice
But 1 dodge feels scuffed

#

I take it on 4th fists or zag fists

#

Last 5

#

Although the epic option is better on high ||heats||

edgy latch
#

each mirror traits i use both maybe 50%

#

i think balance is quite good, just need to make sure you dont pair it with some bad difficulty setting and weapon

#

or you'll rely on luck for something more etc

#

for example ruthless, if you chill enemies, or u have hyper sprint or extra dodges or movement speed its fine

red frigate
#

Butterfly balls = most annoying enemy

edgy latch
#

still depends on weapon too etc

sour kite
#

i definitely think the mirror talants are

hot yoke
#

There are actually bad mirror talents though imo

sour kite
#

super well balanced

candid nimbus
#

I used ruthless exclusively for awhile to train my dash

hot yoke
#

I mean bad is a bit extreme

sour kite
#

I can't imagine replacing Dark Foresight tho

hot yoke
#

Same

candid nimbus
#

But you can, there's a prophecy dusa

sour kite
#

I played a basic hell mode run

hot yoke
#

But other options are just too good is probably more accurate

#

All for the fates obvs

edgy latch
#

no dark foresight you can get more hearts too no? and more darkness rooms, which you might use to heal with

sterile solar
#

No darkness

hot yoke
#

More consistent builds

#

Still get enough darkness without

candid nimbus
#

Dark foresight with Authority is interesting

sour kite
#

and by the end of act 3 I have 10 boons

hot yoke
#

As I ready said
One infernal trove is already 1/2 to 3/4 of what vitality does

sterile solar
#

I feel like authority loses value with dark foresight

#

But there aren't any troves in styx

hot yoke
#

I'd like authority if it let you reroll into golden laurels

sour kite
#

surely you wanna go persuation if you go foresight

sterile solar
#

Also what if when you did the trove you dont need healing

sour kite
#

yah the fact that

hot yoke
#

As it stands rn persuasion is just better

sour kite
#

you can't switch between blue and gold

hot yoke
#

Well aside for farming

sour kite
#

i think that makes persuasian amazing for run clears

edgy latch
#

i get some rly nice rolls with authority i like both

sour kite
#

that's fair

hot yoke
#

Also what if when you did the trove you dont need healing
@sterile solar what's that reasoning
When I'm at half health it doesn't matter how much I lose since I'll recover it all

sour kite
#

might give it a try agains at some point

#

i did start with authority tbf

candid nimbus
#

Should let me reroll wells with authority instead of persuasion

hot yoke
#

I played with authority for my first 70 runs
Same with vitality
I'm happy I switched

sterile solar
#

What if you're at full

sour kite
#

i mean wells are more similar to boons or purge

sterile solar
#

Just curious, how many darkness trove do you usually find in a run

sour kite
#

1/3

hot yoke
#

Then cthonic isn't gonna do hack for you either

sour kite
#

or rather 3 options

hot yoke
#

At least one usually
If not more
Also every darkness heals by it's amount

red frigate
#

Need a quick poll for my build. I currently have: Ares attack, Dionysus Special, Ares/Dio Duo boon, and poseidon Dash. I now have the choice between True Shot, Atremis' Aid, or Pressure Point

hot yoke
#

Pressure point

sour kite
#

what weapon

red frigate
#

Chaos Shield

hot yoke
#

Regardless pressure point

candid nimbus
#

Pressure Point, what rarity?

hot yoke
#

Artemis probably has the worst aid

red frigate
#

Does PP work with Hangover and Doom?

#

its Epic tier

candid nimbus
#

Should be if I recall

edgy latch
#

artemis call when maxed is very good

hot yoke
#

It works with everything

#

It's worse than every call

#

Literally

#

It's just scuffed aphrodite

candid nimbus
#

Artemis call can pump up very high damage if you're lookin for damage

hot yoke
#

Other do more damage

red frigate
#

IDk I nuked the hydra when using artemis 5 guage

candid nimbus
#

Or have call modifiers from like Hermes, since it's 5 charges instead of 4

hot yoke
#

A one bar zeus does almost as much as a full artemis

#

Also full Aphro is way stronger

sour kite
#

Yeah I have to say, I've never taken Arty call and thought YES I've made it

hot yoke
#

It's basically batty on a stick

sour kite
#

but it's fine

#

it's definitely usesable

hot yoke
#

I'd say artemis call is one of the few things I would actually call bad I'm hades
Like not comparatively bad
Just bad

edgy latch
#

still depends what else you have like other artemis boons that enhance crits etc

hot yoke
#

I mean you can use it sure
But till be less effective at all times

#

If you have crit enhancers they also work on the other calls

candid nimbus
#

If I clear with it, that's all I'm content with zaglol

red frigate
#

Whoops... didn't mean to start another debate

hot yoke
#

Making them automatically better again

edgy latch
#

but artemis has chance extra chance to crit^^

hot yoke
#

I mean I can take artemis call
Never use my call
And clear

#

Wooooow

#

100 damage arrow crit
Nice

candid nimbus
#

but yeah epic PP would help especially with your high tick rate, @red frigate

edgy latch
#

you know usually devs do some maths to figure out some advantages to each things

hot yoke
#

Doesn't mean there is

#

Devs aren't unfallable

edgy latch
#

yeah but if you watch it, theres crit chance on artemis so if you have crit bonuses, its good

hot yoke
#

Doesn't mean that I know better than them obvs

#

It will always be worse than any other call

edgy latch
#

like prob the best then even

#

nah

#

some calls only short range etc

hot yoke
#

Ateast ares has INVINCIBILITY

candid nimbus
#

Getting some duos that enhance crits with art call is pretty scary

hot yoke
#

Hahahaja

edgy latch
#

no invincibility but damage is instant

hot yoke
#

My point is other calls are gonna be way scarier

edgy latch
#

not really

hot yoke
#

Nice then I'll just take full Aphro
2,5k and charm

candid nimbus
#

but eh it comes down to whatever RNG gives you, but I personally take art call every so often

edgy latch
#

yeah

hot yoke
#

Zeus call and smoldering air is all you need

#

Well if you can fit it in your build

candid nimbus
#

My let the Fates take the wheel runs might not let me get that sadly

edgy latch
#

all you need is that single build that can actually win and then the rest whatever, you dont need it

hot yoke
#

Ik

#

Thanks for admitting artemis doesn't add to a winning nuild

edgy latch
#

i didnt

#

i just mock your logic

hot yoke
#

It's just a "oh look I have a call button"

#

Same

candid nimbus
#

Art call has weird pathing sometimes too

hot yoke
#

Your argument was similar "if I have boons that enhance crit"

edgy latch
#

its just an example

hot yoke
#

So you need to heavily build around it to be ok

#

Even Aphro is better without any investment

edgy latch
#

not even

#

artemis is still good by itself : P depends what you get etc

hot yoke
#

Ah ok but my exmples are void?

edgy latch
#

no

hot yoke
#

It isn't

edgy latch
#

its just ur style is fine too

#

like the other styles are also fine

#

else i could go no the way i do it is the one, yours is no need

#

but thats kinda dumb

hot yoke
#

It's 100 damage on 1 bar
At full bar it's just multiple arrows with crit chance

#

Which means a CHANCE for 3 times

candid nimbus
#

I just wouldn't say art call is outclassed by everything, for a beggar like me any boon is nice

edgy latch
#

the point is its one of the calls you use mostly when full

#

not that its not usefull to sometimes use 1 bar

hot yoke
#

Whoops misread there sry

#

Arti is the worst call period

candid nimbus
#

I 1 bar Art call shadeembarassed

hot yoke
#

It's not like you can't use it

#

You can

#

But if you get any other option they will be in most if not all cases strongef

sullen river
#

the game compelled me to eat a pomegranate and its so s o u r

hot yoke
#

They're
So
Nice

edgy latch
#

tbh i think artemis boons a lot of them are beter used with more artemis

hot yoke
#

The seeds are weird tho

edgy latch
#

then they real strong

hot yoke
#

Yes
I don't deny that

#

But other stuff will be even better
Regrading the call

edgy latch
#

not if you want a ranged call^^

#

really depends

hot yoke
#

Even with pressure points
As often as dios call and hangover or zeus call strike f.e. you have a lot of triggers

#

Just take aphrodite

#

Hers is even worth it at one bar

#

For the charm interrupt

#

It has utility

red frigate
#

I f**** hate Narcissus

hot yoke
#

And can be used to skip a boss phase or deal huge damage

sullen river
#

I f**** hate Narcissus
@red frigate wat

hot yoke
#

Well it's in his name lol

red frigate
#

There's so many bs things going on.

edgy latch
#

i think also artemis u get more call bar

sullen river
#

whos a narcist ?

edgy latch
#

so you can use it for trigger of something after call

candid nimbus
#

3rd boss, no?

red frigate
#

I was facing both him and the bull with my shield up and i still took damage somehow

candid nimbus
#

You can get 'em 👍

red frigate
#

yeah third boss

#

is his name Thesius or Narcissus?

#

I can't keep up with all the Grecian Heros

harsh leaf
#

Theseus, though you're forgiven for mixing them up 😄

candid nimbus
#

Might have piercing

#

I don't recall

harsh leaf
#

Remember that Theseus' spear can hit you in the back

#

When it returns

#

Much like how you can get backstabs with spear special!

red frigate
#

it was the bull that broke my guard.

hot yoke
#

Yeah the crit gain is nice

#

To get bar for good calls

red frigate
#

the reticle for the spear was still on my character when my guard was broke and his spear was still in his hand

candid nimbus
#

||Second phase|| 3rd boss is pretty dirty sometimes

ye but u can destroy it with a big call often : o

(No Spoilers.) New to Hades? Welcome! This is your place to discuss your first runs, your discoveries as you play - and maybe get some help with that pesky Hydra. We won't tell.

edgy latch
#

oh right

red frigate
#

Oh yeah.When he does the whole "insert god name here Help me!"

spark yarrow
#

Just reminding everyone that this channel is up to Hydra and wonderboy should not be mentioned by name

hot yoke

It's up to styx my dude

The description is still pre 1.0 afaik

What I heard from mods is up to styx

Just reminding everyone that this channel is up to Hydra and wonderboy should not be mentioned by name
@spark yarrow What is the secret to his power?

hot yoke
#

Being arrogant

spark yarrow

He beat the guardian of the labyrinth and is blessed and thinks he's hot

Y'all need more Tenacious D in your lives

@hot yoke what

hot yoke
#

The channels description

heady comet
#

Whats the fastest way to suicide a run?

hot yoke
#

I assume it's from when theseus was still the newest boss

#

Stubborn defiance

#

Stand still

#

Even better if unleveled stubborn defiance

heady comet
#

Ok thx

#

Forgot about that

celest pebble
#

stand in lava

#

but im not sure why you wouldnt just keep going

heady comet
#

I wanna farm interactions

#

On nyx

hot yoke
#

You can just stand still for a minute in starting area

#

With stubborn

#

Will be quicker than playing till asphodel

heady comet
#

K thx

#

Ill do that with full ||heat|| ig

cobalt apex
#

What does clicking give up do?

celest pebble
#

i think it just ends the run and takes you back home

cobalt apex
#

Just the current run or entire save slot?

celest pebble
#

just the current run

cobalt apex
#

Ok thx

#

because quitting means permadeath in real roguelikes

#

So i was cautious:)

sour kite
#

It's ok dis here Hades is a roguelite ;)

upbeat elm
#

YOU’RE GOD DAMN RIGHT ITS ELITE

#

@sour kite

cobalt apex
#

I meant like nethack

#

or rogue itself

#

Let’s see if i can beat this game faster than it took me to beat nethack. 16 years to go.

lofty verge
#

took me about 3 days to win

sullen river
#

i didnt even care about winning i just freaking love the gameplay

supple linden
#

@cobalt apex
giving up puts you back at the house of hades as if you never went on your last run.

Quitting saves your place in your current run

#

giving up will give you the same run seed you had before

cobalt apex
#

So it’s actually „reset current run“. Thanks!

agile yacht
#

When an Infernal Trove spawns, does it play a sound (similar to fishing spots)?

supple linden
#

I believe so

#

i think it makes a little flame sound

agile yacht
#

Thanks! @supple linden

torn sky
#

Do god keepsakes only effect the very first boon of a run? Or can they affect boons afterwards as well?

candid nimbus
#

Once the counter below the keepsake hits 0 it's done

#

Oh the 15% rarity? I'm not sure

#

I guess the boons you find with that keepsake equipped should still have the bonus rarity chance

harsh leaf
#

Yes, the rarity boost counts as long as you have the keepsake on

desert sand
#

Phew, took me about 14 times to beat the game the first time, and have beat the game with each weapon now in a row without losing once lol

dawn niche
#

Thats really good damn

#

Nice job!

desert sand
#

There were 2 close calls of less than 30 hp on the final boss, but I think I have most of the patterns down pretty well, just gotta learn what each god/boon does now

hi

im new

glass gyro
#

hi!!

#

how many runs have u tried

celest pebble
#

hello and welcome @stiff yew

stiff yew
#

thx

#

idk

#

99999999999999999

#

im addicted

safe niche
#

i had a run just now where i didnt get any attack boons until elysium so i was doing no dmg

#

is it better to take an attack boon as soon as possible?

sterile solar
#

not if you dont want it

safe niche
#

thats true

#

when ur boon gets replaced will the replacing boon have a higher rarity or is it just luck

sterile solar
#

it will always be a higher rarity

safe niche
#

ohh good to know

celest pebble
#

if you're running a weapon that doesnt use the attack much (and instead relies on the special or cast) then its not so bad to get a late attack boon

#

otherwise, yeah, try to get something you like sooner rather than later

heady comet
#

What do i build on ||excalibur||

celest pebble
#

it attacks slowly so you want something with good +% buff, so aphro/artemis/demeter

heady comet
#

Ok thx

#

For first daedelus Double nova or greater consecration?

#

Or is the special useless for damage

celest pebble
#

i like greater consecration

sterile solar
#

isnt useless for dmg, but thats the main use imo

celest pebble
#

i mean, you're always gonna start your attacks off with the special so it definitely gets used

sterile solar
#

you just want the area

safe niche
#

if you're running a weapon that doesnt use the attack much (and instead relies on the special or cast) then its not so bad to get a late attack boon
yea i meant i didnt have any boons that boosted my damage at all

celest pebble
#

which is fine depending on your weapon and the rest of your build - what were you running (weapon/aspect)?

safe niche
#

chiron

#

i was getting boons that boosted crit chance and other stuff

celest pebble
#

for chiron you can just focus on the special, yeah

#

thats where the bulk of your damage is coming from so a boon for attack/cast isnt essential

fervent socket
#

hello hello new here too

Its been a while since I've seen a Steve meme

abababa i had such a good build

#

lvl 4 heroic aphro cast (+262% dmg) with chiron and ||hades decides not to fight me so i cant have the satisfaction of winning but i still manage to progress the heat level lol||

#

had 3 dd and full hp its so sad

dusk pier
#

so how does aspect of poseidon sword works like ?

#

Tbh i almost never use Cast

#

maybe its worth a try

sick grove
#

it's exactly what it says. the cast will come out from a target if you hit it with your special.

lofty verge
#

how do i get past the lock in the codex on dusa

tame hill
#

Usually it involves filling some condition

#

Probably just play more and advance relations with other characters and you'll get there

lofty verge
#

alright

#

is it just me or does ||Arthur|| do like way more damage than everything else

dusty vector
#

does anyone know if after purging a boon i can get it again?

safe niche
#

idk never tried it

dusty vector
#

i have zeus's lightning on attack 10 damage but i'm wondering i should purge it to try and fish for a better rarity of it

safe niche
#

uhh

#

its gonna be quite hard to get the same boon again

#

so practically its better to just keep ur boon

dusty vector
#

i'm going to try it anyway, for science

safe niche
#

good luck haha

quiet cypress
#

you can get a boon youve purged

cobalt apex
#

I'm slowly getting the hang of the game. Turns out putting some thought into which boon to use instead of just selecting random ones actually helps. Duh.

golden relic
#

i have a question, is there a way to retrieve my already used Titan Blood?

nova helm
#

I don't believe so.

uncut parrot
#

just unlocked the last of nyx's mirror, which ones should I focus on first? god's pride or legacy? same question for fated persuasion and fated autority

safe niche
#

u dont need to "focus" on either of them cos u can reset it with keys

uncut parrot
#

I mean it more as which one to invest in first

#

since I can't buy them both atm

safe niche
#

i think gods legacy/pride is pref

#

fated authority shld be better

golden relic
#

oh sry. guess i messed up then >-<

uncut parrot
#

ty

#

why is authority better?

safe niche
#

imo invest in gods legacy/pride first since its cheaper

dense laurel
#

fated persuasion is better tho

safe niche
#

hm

nova helm
#

I dunno which I like more tbh...

dense laurel
#

its better to get duos and legends for specific builds rather than getting more random boons

nova helm
#

I will say that RNG favours me more when I can change the rooms.

#

RNG is fickle though.

safe niche
#

oh thats true

uncut parrot
#

considering I'm still completing the fate's lists, the one upping the highest rarity should be better in the short term right?

golden relic
#

its kinda unfortunate how much harder the game becomes, when u invest the Blood wrong :x

safe niche
#

wat

nova helm
#

Eh, you can always get more blood.

safe niche
#

yea just get more blood lol

nova helm
#

And there are winning strats for all aspects.

dense laurel
#

u can clear the game with any wep at lvl one, altho hidden spear will be so hard

golden relic
#

how do i get more blood? :o

safe niche
#

yea if u hv the hidden spear u shld hv more blood lol

golden relic
#

i unlocked the blood part with every weapon so far

dense laurel
#

clear the game, more

safe niche
#

yea ^

#

on higher heat

golden relic
#

i havent cleared the game at all yet

safe niche
#

well u might need more practice

nova helm
#

You'll get more blood then.

dense laurel
#

then upgrade the mirror, buy contractor upgrades

#

and upgrade ur keepsakes

golden relic
#

yeah doin all that, so i guess just keep trying (playing in Hell Mode btw so thats prop a reason why it feels so punishing )

safe niche
#

ah hell mode lol

#

im using hm too

#

once u clear once it shld feel easier

golden relic
#

yeah i though so

dense laurel
#

shield should be your safest opton

#

but up to your play style

safe niche
#

shield is broken imo

golden relic
#

my furthest so far was champ of elysium

safe niche
#

oh champ

golden relic
#

shield? seemed the worse for me so far enclaseLuL

dense laurel
#

shield isnt broken

#

yea its kinda slow ish, but its safe for ur first win

safe niche
#

hv to rmb to take out the minotaur first and while watching out for the spear guy

tame hill
#

You can just do what I did and spam hangover runs with the fists until you get the first clear

safe niche
#

i didnt take any dmg clearing the final boss with shield

#

bull rushed him to death breh

dense laurel
#

but you take longer time

tame hill
#

Well my mom said she was proud of me so take that

safe niche
#

time isnt an issue lol

dense laurel
#

like i said its slow

#

but safe

safe niche
#

yea

#

think its too safe

golden relic
#

wait if u use shorts like "hv" and "rmb" i have no idea what u mean enclaseBoden

safe niche
#

have and remember

tame hill
#

Fists and starting with dionysus keepsake gets you a well-scaling start basically every time

dense laurel
#

when u using ||TD||, its just make ur play harder since ur lacking dps

safe niche
#

thats true but u can reach 50+ heat without touching that

dense laurel
#

eh i only use dio for exclusive excess and festive bomb tbh, not a fan of hangover

golden relic
#

atm i play alot with the bow i really like that

safe niche
#

yea bow is nice

dense laurel
#

bow is nice, both bow aspects is nice

tame hill
#

Its not a good strat for high heat but hangover fists tears up the game the first time through

dense laurel
#

not if u get athena tho

fervent socket
#

fiery presence

#

define undamaged

#

like

dense laurel
#

your first hit i guess

safe niche
#

haha

fervent socket
#

does undamaged refer to health

#

or health and armor

safe niche
#

i never thought about that

fervent socket
#

i just got the morror with new stuff

safe niche
#

yea im not sure whether undamaged refers to armor or not

#

but unless u can one shot the enemies shadow presence is better since u can apply it more

alpine ridge
#

What does ME stand for?

dense laurel
#

What does ME stand for?
@alpine ridge merciful end, athena ares duo

golden relic
#

any advises what is generally good to infest in at the mirror?

#

i mean obv things are the DDs and the Max Life and Casts

dense laurel
#

do u get the option to flip the options yet

golden relic
#

yeah i have unlocked all of the talents and i can flip

dense laurel
#

the dd, max life and casts are subjective to your play style

#

theres no definitive better than the other one

golden relic
#

i did max out all of those

#

so its more like, should i invest more in finding better boons and stuff or in the damage things

dense laurel
#

the Privileged status/ family favourite first, then the health regen stuff

golden relic
#

wait when i flip stuff

dense laurel
#

then the coin gain one

golden relic
#

do i get both things?

dense laurel
#

nope

golden relic
#

not just the one that is shown?

sour kite
#

Have you unlocked full mirror?

golden relic
#

ok i was scared for a moment that i missed something there enclaseLuL

#

yeah i have the full mirror open

sour kite
#

Personally I flipped my mirror quite frequently when i was learning

#

Feel free to use keys to reassign if you don’t like your assignment

#

Keys are cheap and plentiful

golden relic
#

yeah im doin that alot atm

uncut parrot
#

is it worth it to convert ambrosia to titan's blood to unlock new aspects?

sour kite
#

Imo yes

#

I had a large excess of ambrosia in the midgame

#

If you wanna try an aspect

#

Go for it

#

It’s not like it’s possible to get totally bottlenecked by it

uncut parrot
#

besides the cost 1 aspects, any that are particularly noteworthy (without enhancement)?

sour kite
#

Uh, the first unlock (2nd slot) for each weapon tends to have ease of useability

#

And a much stronger sometimes transformative effect

#

They’re good to pick up early but

uncut parrot
#

I already unlocked the cheapest aspect of each weapon

sour kite
#

Don’t be surprised if the experience is easy or trivialised by the weapon’s strength

uncut parrot
#

so if I unlock a new aspect it will be one of the more costly

sour kite
#

You mean 3rd slot?

#

Try poseidon sword, very cool and transformative

#

Hades spear i hear ppl talking about but some ppl hate even spinning

uncut parrot
#

does it need upgrades to be good or is it good enough at unlock state?

sour kite
#

I’d say 90% of aspects need blood investment

uncut parrot
#

I've not been able to correctly spin so far due to the delay, so i get that

sour kite
#

And it’s hard to tell you without asking on a case by case basis

normal arrow
#

IMO all the aspects are significantly better fully unlocked than just level 1

#

some of them are kind of awful without the extra titan blood investment

uncut parrot
#

of course, I mean that as in does the aspect need to be enhanced to be interesting

#

like in other games there are stuff that are meh in their base state but really strong after investment

sour kite
#

Well, some aspexts

normal arrow
#

e.g. chiron bow only has a couple of arrows in the special at level 1 but is incredible when fully unlocked

sour kite
#

Are useless piles of crap

#

At baseline

#

Chiron for example

normal arrow
#

yeah

uncut parrot
#

yeah, those are the ones I want to avoid

sour kite
#

Don’t use it unlevelled kids

uncut parrot
#

since I can't afford a upgrade rn

normal arrow
#

I think most of them are like that though

sour kite
#

Yah i mean

normal arrow
#

you can eke out a win with the level 1 zagreus aspect of any weapon

sour kite
#

I reckon there’s like 3/4 that don’t need blood investment

uncut parrot
#

wich ones?

sour kite
#

uh

dense laurel
#

hidden sword

sour kite
#

Hidden sword

#

Lel

#

Thanks

normal arrow
#

you get a bunch of titan blood from completing minor prophecies IIRC

uncut parrot
#

don't have access to it yet

sour kite
#

Hades spear could be fine? If you just play to control space

#

Zeus shield is fine?

#

Hera bow can work

uncut parrot
#

yeah, and I plan to at least unlock all aspects for gameplay variety, just want to avoid those that are 'bad' without further investment

sour kite
#

I mean

#

I’ve unlocked them all now

#

I just fully blood/ lvl 4 before taking them out for a spin

normal arrow
#

the thing is a lot of the IMO best aspects are also the ones that are bad without investment

sour kite
#

I don’t think there’s a lot of bad in terms of aspects

#

What he said

normal arrow
#

chaos shield, chiron bow, eris rail

dense laurel
#

i wont call chiron bow the best

normal arrow
#

hmm, agree to disagree, it took me a while but i really really like it now

uncut parrot
#

so no aspect I should avoid until I'm ready to invest more?

dense laurel
#

u should avoid hidden spear for sure

normal arrow
#

and chiron bow, at level 1 it sucks IMO

uncut parrot
#

got it

#

thank you

sour kite
#

I mean

uncut parrot
#

I've seen poseidon sword mentioned several times, how do you build it?

sour kite
#

Chiron falls off

#

It has a nice balance of offence and defence biut

#

The damage capout can be noticeable

#

Poseidon sword get some good casts

dense laurel
#

offece and defence balance should be chaos shield instead

sour kite
#

Dislodge them with special, exit wounds is insane

uncut parrot
#

I never made a true cast build so far, so not sure how to play around it

sour kite
#

I mean, chaos shield has those properties as well

#

And it also isn’t ultra high on dmg

normal arrow
#

chiron bow doesn't really have any defensive traits AFAICT

#

it's nice because you can stay far away

sour kite
#

I mean

normal arrow
#

but other than that

sour kite
#

Range advantage is range advantage

#

You plink them once

#

Dash behind a pillar

#

And special them to death

dense laurel
#

thats not rly a balance coz u kepeping ur distance

normal arrow
#

with chaos shield you can actually defend though

sour kite
#

How is that not a balance of offence/ defensibity

#

So you saying you can’t deal aggressive damage from max range?

normal arrow
#

I wouldn't say it is because it's not about the weapon

dense laurel
#

bcoz range advantage doent have anything to do with the aspect itself, it just bow

sour kite
#

Besides this is getting awfully semantically driven

#

Let me just say it this way

#

I find it ez to not tank damage with Chiron

#

I think its damage output can be lacking

#

There aren’t any in build defences apart from range advantage

dense laurel
#

what chiron have to do with tanking dmg

normal arrow
#

@sour kite with shield you can actually defend

sour kite
#

If you don’t tank damage

normal arrow
#

oh I see what you mean, sorry for misunderstanding

sour kite
#

Game is pretty easy

upbeat swallow
#

i just unlocked the ||weapon aspects||, no idea how to spend my ||red blob though|| 🤔

normal arrow
#

haha we are talking about this right now, scroll up 🙂

sour kite
#

Perfect timing

dense laurel
#

that bow itself tho, then hdden bow should be unbalanced by the offence according to that logic

sour kite
#

Regardless for me chiron is ez mode

#

Good entry level for beginmers

#

Has problems with dps in the lategame

#

Hidden bow and a lot of hidden aspects

#

Are either clunky to use

#

Or have an inbuilt downside

#

Or both

#

But in return for their tradeoff

#

They have a lot more inbuilt damage

dense laurel
#

what downside for the bow

sour kite
#

Really slow draw

normal arrow
#

it's slow

golden relic
#

im sorry to interrupt, can i ask soemthing hangover related?

sour kite
#

If you’re not good at dash striking

dense laurel
#

you know it goes fast if u dash strike right

sour kite
#

It’s noob unfriendly

#

Yes i do have over 100 clears. But this is new players

#

People asking me how to spend blood

#

I’m not gonna say

#

Yes go straight hidden bow

dense laurel
#

then its not an actual downside, and u can deal big dmg if u use stuff like point blank since its already have an outstanding base dmg

sour kite
#

I mean

#

I like hidden bow

#

It took some getting used to

#

Would i suggest a new player to spend the blood required

#

To max it

#

No

dense laurel
#

i think chaos shield is more easy to use than chiron

sour kite
#

I think that’s all i have to say in the matter

golden relic
#

How exactly does the game calc the Hangover damage? like do the stacks apply their own damage every time, for example opening with a normal attack, which grants a stack that deals 6 damage, thens tacking it further with the Special, those just ad 5 or do the new stacks also deal 6 stacks cause the stack got started with that amount of damage?

sour kite
#

Yes Chaos is ez mode too

#

I didn’t disagree with that statement

#

@golden relic stacks are independent

#

If you’re using dio call and you also have drunken flourish

#

The stack damage will be specific

#

To the source of hangover

golden relic
#

oh so i apply 2 sources of hangover?

#

so up to 10 thanks to that then?

sour kite
#

Nope

#

The max is inbuilt

golden relic
#

yeah but i mean 2 times 5

#

sry

sour kite
#

5 is base max for hangover

dense laurel
#

you dont use dio dash and dio call together js

#

coz priorities

#

if u applied with dio dash first, u will end up dealing the lesser dmg, even tho the dio call applies stacks with more mdg

golden relic
#

alright thanks~

#

but that means it might be worth to get attack dio because its higher stack damage and then max out with special (playing chiron bow)

normal arrow
#

wouldn't you want dio on the special in that case?

#

or am I misunderstanding

golden relic
#

i already have it on the special

#

my question is, should i get it for attack aswell cause it has a higher hangover damage there

dense laurel
#

i rather have 2 different status curse for more dmg than make a whole build for hangove

golden relic
#

or should i keep it open vor something like aphrodite

sour kite
#

Yah don’t make your whole build hangover

#

So much lost potential

golden relic
#

alright that also answers my question

sour kite
#

Aphro+dio is a very popular combo

dense laurel
#

thats only if u get the duo

torn sky
#

is there any place i can see screenshots or videos of what the various house decors look like when purchased?

sour kite
#

Afraid of buyer's remorse?

torn sky
#

very afraid lol

sour kite
#

If you don't like your purchase

#

for whatever reason

#

and you want your gemstones back

#

buying it, save and quitting, and reloading

#

will refund you

#

because saves are made when you walk between chambers

#

but i mean, they're just cosmetics, so shrug

torn sky
#

Oh really? Good to know. Thank you!

sour kite
#

you're welcome

pulsar frigate
#

for many of them, you can just toggle them off (or toggle another one on) if you don't like the cosmetic

sour kite
#

or spend 20 mins deciding how to make your cosmetics complement each other

#

like the madman that I am

#

:)

#

I would happily make everything a shrine to Bouldy tho

#

they need to add that feature

pulsar frigate
#

i chose violets bc they match nyx the most

#

😎

sour kite
#

lilacs?

#

do they even have violets as an option

pulsar frigate
#

the blue/purple ones

#

i thought they were violets but it's been a while since i checked my cosmetics lol

sour kite
#

I like those with Nyx yeah for sure

#

Yeah I suck with flower names ngl

#

my sister was always the competent one with those

fervent socket
#

I can't seem to beat megaera

sour kite
#

Attempt number?

fervent socket
#

i've only done so once with bow

#

where do I see my attempts?

sour kite
#

loading your save

#

after main menu

#

says your location, escape attempts, total darkness, last saved

fervent socket
#

11 attempts

sour kite
#

What's your mirror setup look like?

fervent socket
#

20% shadow

#

60% dark regen

#

1 death defiance

#

greater reflex

#

30 boiling blood

#

and 1 infernal soul

topaz fractal
#

What kind of boons are you taking?

sour kite
#

Tbh, might be at the point where Divine Dash ez mode needs to be activated

#

||Meg is squishy so if you deflect all her range attacks back to her she basically dies||

topaz fractal
#

Also dark regen... try cthonic vitality, it’s better

sour kite
#

Avoiding damage should be your baseline for practice for now

#

Dark regen is fine if you're stagnating and the bosses will drop darkness for him I think, eventually

#

but until that happens I would prefer Chthonic Vitality

topaz fractal
#

When she does the spin and projectile attacks you should get as far away from her as possible

sour kite
#

unless you have divine dash

topaz fractal
#

When she uses the magenta ground thing you will need all dashes to get away from her

sour kite
#

but yes, keeping your distance makes it easier to avoid her attacks

#

All of her attacks are completely telegraphed, once you have some experience and battle control

#

you'll recognise those and dash

topaz fractal
#

Also just farming up another death defiance can help you beat her with few problems

sour kite
#

makes the game a lot easier

#

DD is nice and all but, sounds to me like he's just tanking a bit too much damage in general

topaz fractal
#

Increasing starting health+death defiance can really get you over the hump

#

Also not using the sword. The sword is a bit more difficult for new players to master because it’s a short ranged, slow weapon

sour kite
#

I dunno if it's slow per se. I'd describe it as a pretty fast weapon, but the balance of when it's safe to attack and when it's not

#

is the really hard part about the weapon

#

||that said unupgraded sword sucks, i'm using it for my hell mode rn and :zagcry:||

fervent socket
#

well i easily beat her when I had deflectg

#

but so far i've not had any deflect offered

dusty gate
#

Meg is kinda a gatekeeper

#

You kinda just need to get in the habit of watching bosses rather than your own character and avoiding her attacks

fervent socket
#

trying to kill her with melee is tough

dusty gate
#

Once you get into that habit the rest of the game clicks a bit better

lavish delta
#

is it worth taking god's legacy just for one duo boon

dusty gate
#

If the duo is important to the build, for sure

lavish delta
#

yeah like dio/aphro

#

right?

dusty gate
#

Yeah

#

Dio ares

topaz fractal
#

You don’t really need deflect to block most of her attacks, and when you get more used to it, her attacks are quite telegraphed. Just don’t try to tank her or you will die a horrible death @fervent socket

dusty gate
#

Athena/ares

#

Zeus

#

They all want that perk

lavish delta
#

what about ares aphro

fervent socket
#

is there any way to see a map

#

of what champers i will face

dusty gate
#

If that’s the concept of the bulld, yeah

#

No, it’s randomly generated

lavish delta
#

thanks

fervent socket
#

also fountain chambers come after the world right

topaz fractal
#

Nope, but there’s logic behind how They’re generated... I think you can look it up

dusty gate
#

I almost always use the duo/legendary perk

#

Yeah fountains after every boss

topaz fractal
#

Fountain chambers are normal rooms

dusty gate
#

There’s also usually one about halfway through Tartarus and elysium

topaz fractal
#

That come in between other normal rooms and they are unlocked by the contractor

dusty gate
#

And one when you get the Scooby snack in Styx

sour kite
#

but so far i've not had any deflect offered
@fervent socket It'll get easier when you unlock ||keepsakes||

topaz fractal
#

You can get them in Tartarus, asphodel, or Elysian, and they give a free boon/item and a fountain

fervent socket
#

i have unlocked keepsakes

#

i'm on run 12

dusty gate
#

Also ||aspects|| are an enormous help

sour kite
#

Well then use Athena's

topaz fractal
#

Then unlock athena’s keepsake

#

XD

dusty gate
#

At some level tho

fervent socket
#

i know about aspects and all that

#

have not unlocked yet

dusty gate
#

You’re going to need to get into the habit of watching the bosses and answering their patterns

sour kite
#

Pmuch what Apocalips said. But Byan's having an issue with just getting past Meg

dusty gate
#

Meg is really hard if you don’t do that, but pretty consistent if you do

sour kite
#

so, I think using a crutch for now is just a-okay

dusty gate
#

Yeah

#

But it’s not going to get him 100% there even with it imo

sour kite
#

also it is hilarious

#

deflecting her to death

dusty gate
#

I didn’t start beating her consistently until I changed how I play

sour kite
#

Yah same

dusty gate
#

(And I died to her a lot lol)

topaz fractal
#

I didn’t beat her until I left the game on run like 3 of not beating her

#

Then I came back and smashed her on the first try for some reason(after like a month or so)

lavish delta
#

she has very easy to dodge moves if you know the tells

dusty gate
#

Yeah, just gotta slow down and watch for them

#

Also weapons where you can attack from just outside her melee aoe move are a tad easier

#

Since you only need to watch for the dash for them

#

He projectile attack is really slow

sour kite
#

Meg is a legit difficulty spike tho- compared to ||Lernie ||zaglol

#

There's no shame in dying to her

#

repeatedly

dusty gate
#

It’s bullet hell if you stay near her but if you dash to the other side of the room you’ll be fine

#

Yeah she’s harder imo

#

Just straight up

fervent socket
#

eating 48 damge against the miniboss in world 1 is definitely not good form

dusty gate
#

It’s fine form

sour kite
#

tbf, getting good at the game

topaz fractal
#

It’s fine

sour kite
#

is a lot about pattern recognition

#

good boon/hammer choices

#

and avoiding damage by playing clean

#

then you've got room to refine what you're doing after

dusty gate
#

There’s a fountain right after, it doesn’t matter much how much life you lose as long as you don’t die

topaz fractal
#

Boss 1 is the hard one. She requires that you kill her. Boss 2 just requires you to not die.

lavish delta
#

yup

dusty gate
#

Boss 3 sucks as well

#

But by then you can handle it

sour kite
#

Learning to deal with Act 3 will be

#

a perfectly legit challenge I'm sure

dusty gate
#

It’s just a matter of finishing with enough resources to beat the next level

#

Yeah

#

The normal enemies are harder there

sour kite
#

I love the game design actually

fervent socket
#

like how do I know what the next room has

#

like

topaz fractal
#

I think boss three still causes me problems

fervent socket
#

if it's a regular encounter

#

a miniboss

dusty gate
#

Look at the icon over the door

fervent socket
#

or one of those survival missions

sour kite
#

miniboss shows a skull

topaz fractal
#

There’s a little skull icon

dusty gate
#

If it has nothing it’s a normal room

#

If it has a skull there’s either an elite or miniboss

pulsar frigate
#

bringing out the guide again

#

the one you're looking for is middle right

dusty gate
#

! Rooms and shops have no enemies

#

The survival missions are random

fervent socket
#

and rip i forgot to offer nectar to athena

#

i just got divine dash

#

could have really used that keepsake

sour kite
#

lel

#

it's easy to forget

#

don't worry you still have chances- once a god has shown up in your run, it's very likely to keep showing up

#

because you only have 4 non Hermes/Chaos gods per run

dusty gate
#

Huh?

#

Is that only without keepsakes or something?

#

I have definitely had more

sour kite
#

You can force another god by picking up keepsakes

#

but it will displace one of the previously shown gods

dusty gate
#

That’s definitely not right

#

I’ve had five different in my boons bar before

pulsar frigate
#

i'm pretty sure it doesn't replace

#

it only adds if you force a god

dense laurel
#

u can get more

sour kite
#

Well, regardless, I'm pretty sure you can only show 4 gods in a standard non keepsaked run

#
  • hermes and chaos
dense laurel
#

without keepsake sure

dusty gate
#

And with keepsakes, in my experience the run will keep giving you more of whatever deity you forced

pulsar frigate
#

Onyx "Divine Hellfire!" Cicada10/17/2020
@ Hoy there, little Hades
my best understanding is this:

  • You have four "slots" for gods, which are empty at the beginning of a run. This means that basically all boons given will be random.
  • As soon as you pick a god, one slot will be "locked in", meaning this god will be in your pool for the rest of the run. All other slots will still give random gods.
  • As soon as you get all four slots locked in, these will be the only four gods that will spawn naturally for the rest of the run (even through rerolls).
  • However! You can also force gods using god keepsakes, meaning that it's possible to get extra gods than what your slots allow.
  • (From what I've seen reported, forced gods are simply added to your pool, not replaced or unadded. So, now you'd have 5 or more gods that can spawn.)
dense laurel
#

not rly, it depends sometime i use athena keepsakes and only get 2 of her boons

dusty gate
#

If you got two boons when she wasn’t part of the initial four, then you are confirming what I am saying lol

fervent socket
#

rip dead to megaera again
\

dusty gate
#

I’ve NEVER used a keepsake and only had the deity I forced show up once

sour kite

rip

simple orbit
#

What's the recommendation here guys?

pulsar frigate
#

aspect?

simple orbit
#

Demitar

pulsar frigate
#

or is this base

#

these are all good, 2 and 3 would buff your special, but 1 would charge your special faster

#

personally i'd go either 1 or 3 (preferably 3)

dense laurel
#

demeter is special based imo

simple orbit
#

How's the 2nd one?

lavish delta
#

oh didnt read demeter

#

oops

simple orbit
#

I have demeter

pulsar frigate
#

rush kick is fun and good with demfists, but i find kinetic to be funner and gooder

simple orbit
#

So you recommend third over 2nd?

pulsar frigate
#

yes, but tbh at heat 1, you can choose any and it'll be fine

lavish delta
#

take any, you'll find out whichever you like better later on

sour kite
#

i've never tried kinetic launcher with dem fists

pulsar frigate
#

if you've never tried rush kick before, rush kick might be more fun for you

sour kite
#

do you just shoot a swarm?

pulsar frigate
#

basically

sour kite
#

only done 1 dem fist run so far

pulsar frigate
#

at max, 5 shots (that can all be power-shot)

sour kite
#

sounds like some fun combos

simple orbit
#

I took the kick

#

never tried

dem was the last fist that i ||put blood into||

pulsar frigate
#

kick auto-targets enemies in range btw, you'll fly over to an enemy so be prepared

#

it's fun but if you're not ready it can be a little jarring

simple orbit
#

Hmm

#

I have divine strike

#

Should I go with riposte?

sour kite
#

Is that Thunder dash or divine

pulsar frigate
#

thunder dash

sour kite
#

always find that a little hard to make out

pulsar frigate
#

riposte is a good choice i think

sour kite
#

Uh Riposte is good for opening up the tree as well

pulsar frigate
#

though you might be gambling a little by not immediately taking the special buff

simple orbit
#

Alright

sour kite
#

i don't think you want divine strike and flourish

#

personally

pulsar frigate
#

(but riposte opens up to athena's legendary)

simple orbit
#

Which boons are usually better for fists

#

Dino or Zeus

#

I just entered a dual boon chamber and I have to pick one

sour kite
#

uh, that's a hard question to answer

#

well you're gonna get boons from both here

simple orbit
#

Ah

sour kite
#

dio would make sense to put on your attack but you already have that

#

dio has some nice support boons

#

zeus is always nice to add to your zeus that you already have

pulsar frigate
#

you're gonna get both here, so it's a question of which one's wrath you want to endure

#

personally both are pretty bad for melee though so

dense laurel
#

riposte is nice for the chance of legend boon

pulsar frigate
#

though dio's a little more manageable i think?

normal arrow
#

imo athena's legendary boon isn't that amazing

#

not worth working towards

dense laurel
#

its a refreshable acorn, wdym

normal arrow
#

every 20 seconds?

#

I mean I love athena

dense laurel
#

yes, the effective hp you save is very big

normal arrow
#

I guess I haven't used it that often

sour kite
#

I think the value of athena legendary goes up as you get better

normal arrow
#

fair enough

sour kite
#

when I'm not getting hit very often

dense laurel
#

i mean if u sucks with acorn then the boon will suck too i guess

sour kite
#

and when I get hit it would be for 40 damage

#

hmmm

#

if you're getting hit

#

10 times every 20 seconds

normal arrow
#

I've actually never used the acorn, but I am very bad at not taking damage so it makes sense based on what you are saying that I wouldn't like the boon

sour kite
#

the athena legendary won't do anything for you

normal arrow
#

I love the dash for avoiding damage

sour kite
#

There's also a keepsake that gives you a refreshing immunity buff

#

that sounds like you'd find it useful

normal arrow
#

I just like to get the dash from athena

sour kite
#

as do we all

normal arrow
#

and then extra dashes from hermes

rose gust
#

4 dash from hermes

sour kite
#

that's like

rose gust
#

rofl

sour kite
#

the obvious god mode boon combo

dense laurel
#

rather than use the refreshing immunity keepsake, u better go with athena revenge boon

normal arrow
#

I think even one extra dash makes the final boss fight significantly easier

sour kite
#

I like Holy Shield too for sure

dense laurel
#

i prefer greater reflex since i just good with iframes

sour kite
#

Greater reflex= good

#

Greatest reflex= betterer

#

3 epic Hermes boon= bestest

dense laurel
#

i mean ruthless reflex

sour kite
#

oh whoops

#

the green one

dense laurel
#

extra dmg and dodge for ez timing

#

combined with plume its basically invisible

static anvil
#

Does upgrading the plume give it extra time?

old skiff
#

Ew 2 dashes is better

dense laurel
#

no, plume is extra dodge

leaden whale
#

Nope, just more percentage gained

#

Like 1.2 at max rank

static anvil
#

Ah wait

#

I keep forgetting it isn't streak-based

dense laurel
#

streak based what

static anvil
#

Like I kept thinking it would only add if you completed rooms under time, in a row, if that makes sense?

dense laurel
#

ye it dont need a streak

static anvil
#

Like if you did 5 rooms under time you'd get 5% but if you failed one you'd go back to one

#

I keep making up difficultieszaglol

dense laurel
#

its works the same with butterfly

simple orbit
#

Hey guys

#

Recommendations here

#

Aspect of Demeter

static anvil
#

I always pick prophecy stuff

dense laurel
#

2nd is pretty good if u can pull it off

static anvil
#

Both seem nice

dense laurel
#

third makes it slower to rack up for demeter iirc

simple orbit
#

How about first?

dense laurel
#

since u ned enuf atk to trigger the extra hit

#

first is nice if u want to get less dmg

static anvil
#

Ye

dense laurel
#

and tank them

simple orbit
#

So overall 2nd?

dense laurel
#

but can you do dash upper consistently?

#

since the window is kinda smol

simple orbit
#

Probably not

#

I'll go with first
