gotta full clear before getting new bounties

ah damn

thats gonna be hard haha

#

so lemme get this straight

if i do a full clear with 1 weapon

#

that opens bounties for the next heat level with only that weapon

topaz jasper Jul 2, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

correct

round jacinth Jul 2, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

ah ok

#

so i can only really climb heat when i use the weapon i'd be the best at then

#

since i gotta finish the entire run beforehand

topaz jasper Jul 2, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

that's right

#

in terms of collecting bounties that is

round jacinth Jul 2, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

ah damn

#

i did a thing with the first heat level

#

where i just tried getting as far as i could with each weapon

#

since the bounties are reset on each one after your very first ever clear

#

but now i gotta clear heat 1 to get bounties to heat 2 then

#

ok i think i can try that

the good news is up to heat 10 basically doesn't affect the game if you're smart about it

timing on hitting the button also affects the rarity of the fish

if it says normal catch is a 50/50 between normal and rare fish, perfect catch is between rare and legendary

Pure timing

#

Except for which fish you actually get since perfect gives you 50/50 legendary/rare fish and not perfect gives you 50/50 rare/common

There is a ding and a flash once the fish can be caught

depending on the build though ofc

sweet brook Jul 3, 2022, 5:57 AM

tbh what you have on the mirror is enough to win

of course leveling up the mirror will make you stronger and make it easier to play, but at the same time, honing weapon skills and enemy interactions are more important

hi guys, I have a few questions about damage calculation
1)wiki says damage bonuses are additive so if I have 2 boons giving me 40 and 57% attack damage and a boon giving me 20 attack/cast/special damage my attack damage would be 100+40+57+10=217% base damage, is that correct?
2)again, looking at the wiki it looks like crits are multiplicative with other damage bonuses, so when it says crits increase your damage by 200% would that make the above example 217*3=651% of base damage when I crit?

My understanding is that you have all of this correct except for the typo +10 instead of +20

gray haven Jul 3, 2022, 2:34 PM

#

last crystal hi guys, I have a few questions about damage calculation 1)wiki says damage bonu...

normal hits:

× (1 + sum of base damage modifiers)
× (1 + sum of bonus damage modifiers)```critical hits:
```damage = (sum of base damage)
× (1 + sum of base damage modifiers)
× (1 + sum of bonus damage modifiers)
× (3 + sum of bonus critical damage modifiers)```
Base damage will be flat values.
Modifiers will be +n% values. Base damage modifiers will specify "base damage".

You guys have any tips for just not dying without divine dash

sweet brook Jul 4, 2022, 12:40 AM

#

sly helm You guys have any tips for just not dying without divine dash

dashing gives you iframes (invincibility frames) and as soon as you atk so it becomes a dash atk, you lose all your iframes

#

so if you dash right before you get hit you wont take damage

merry roost Jul 4, 2022, 12:42 AM

#

If you do a second dash while the first dash is still active, is there a gap in the i-frames? thanthink

#

I never thought to ask that

sweet brook Jul 4, 2022, 12:42 AM

#

idk maybe not

#

but there's no shame in using ddash if you have to lol

topaz jasper Jul 4, 2022, 12:43 AM

#

sly helm Pretty much every single time I attempted to escape I used divine dash

tartarus is usually easy, on some aspects you can just start with a main keepsake then athena in asphodel for divine dash

sweet brook Jul 4, 2022, 12:43 AM

#

if you haven't gotten your first clear yet or are still struggling to clear consistently and you find more success using ddash then just keep using it, use ME or use athena's atk

#

or do that

topaz jasper Jul 4, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

would not recommend starting with ddash since you don't get your core boon online right away

dusky cradle Why is the default dash not a shoulder trigger? Does that feel normal to play or...

You dont have to stick to the default layout, the default reload is very awkward for example, and on some weapons you rebind stuff sometimes such as the Cast etc, I personally have rebinded my Dash to a shoulder

While that may be true, one of tur main differences between lava and magma is their consistency and I gotta say, it's defo magma

Lava is more thick and slow moving because it cools so rapidly in the open air

Magma is thinner and hotter as seen by how the game itself remarks at how its able to damage even the fire-footed prince of the Underworld

but there's other good charon builds that can go faster lol

#

aphodite atk dio spl, their duo lets you stack hangover 8 times so you'll only have to shoot your special 1 or 2 times per enemy instead of 3, also utilizes privileged status, which gives you +40% extra damage

Should spoiler that in this channel, but the answer here is that ||max heat|| unseeded is practically an impossible task for almost all players out there, and it’s never been done, so no, you will die in a few rooms at best

#

It wont make you a better player, ||heat scales exponentially and spikes very hard at around 50, the higher you go beyond that the tougher the game is gonna get, unreasonably so, something like 62 to 64 is an insane jump, if you want to get into it start with smaller progressions: 8-16-32-40-45-50 etc||

sweet brook Jul 6, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

also something to keep in mind, ||heat/bounty rewards only scale up 1 at a time, so if the bounty is at 5 heat right now and you complete a run with 10 heat, you'll get the reward for 5 heat and the bounty will move onto 6||

it takes a random hammer upgrade you have and gives you 2 other random upgrades you dont have :)

i mean that's pretty good but there are eaiser ||8 heat pacts||

||tight deadline|| is extremely easy and that gives i think ||6 heat||

idk im kinda bad at going fast

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

for ||td3|| anyways

#

||td1 gives you 9 minutes per biome which should be plenty||

#

||td2 gives you 7 per biome which is a bit faster but still generous||

i've heard that ||HL and LC|| should not go together

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 2:51 AM

you should check your prior runs and see how fast you go, and adjust ||td|| accordingly

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 2:52 AM

with rail

but i'm really fast with sword

especially sidon sword

get lucky with chaos and poseidon

and win the run lol

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 2:58 AM

its fine i have fated keys

so i can hold out

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

the +20% darkness from your weapon is obv gonna be useful if that doesnt work but getting the bonus drops from chaos and poseidon are gonna be what gives you a ton

topaz jasper Jul 7, 2022, 2:59 AM

random copper now just wondering how i'm supposed to get max fated pers

game harder

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 2:59 AM

simply get more darkness

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 2:59 AM

eclipse from chaos and ocean's bounty/sunken treasure from poseidon, if i'm not mistaken

and dark thrist

topaz jasper Jul 7, 2022, 3:00 AM

#

make sure that you actually have a very high chance of winning though before you start taking eclipse and dark thirst

dusty vault Jul 7, 2022, 3:00 AM

#

Do it on a weapon with bounties already claimed too

#

The darkness drops from bosses is huge

topaz jasper Jul 7, 2022, 3:00 AM

#

since taking hp loss, reward skip, and chaos curse can snowball into death

#

and beating ||dad|| is biggest source of darkness

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 3:00 AM

50/100/150/200?

one thing you can do is run builds that naturally force poseidon anyways

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 3:02 AM

i think highest % bonus i got from chaos a single time was 98% but the curse was i lose hp per special and i was using charon bow lmao

topaz jasper Jul 7, 2022, 3:02 AM

#

sweet brook i think highest % bonus i got from chaos a single time was 98% but the curse was...

at that point you just play at 1hp and continue using specials if you got bad attack

I got the pleasure of using chaos attack curse with lucifer at 50 and it was super lit

got it in elysium so it was pretty hell lol

oh in ely yeah that's bad

there you'd have to bad zag it up

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 3:03 AM

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 3:04 AM

i used a DD in elysium before the boss lol

but it all ended fine the end reward was great

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 3:05 AM

i feel like the ||EM3|| boss fight is actually slightly easier than without ||EM||

#

but idk if thats just me

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 3:05 AM

#

||it's easier in the sense that theseus doesn't have a shield for most of the time||

#

||the bull is obv a lot harder, but theseus is a lot easier. what makes the whole thing more challenging is them together at the same time because theseus provides a ton of area denial by running through the arena shooting bullets and dropping bombs while you also have to fight asterius||

or maybe it's because i had a poseidon sword arty cast build

#

when bull starts spinning things start to get harder but i just dashed through

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 3:07 AM

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 3:10 AM

fair enough, i can understand why

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 3:10 AM

#

||em3|| on its own isn't too bad tho to be fair

#

which is what he did

topaz jasper Jul 7, 2022, 3:10 AM

#

yeah

#

once ||HL5 FO2|| show up asterius becomes horrific

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 3:11 AM

#

with added modifiers i can see how it can be terrible

topaz jasper Jul 7, 2022, 3:11 AM

#

and theseus's area denial sucks ass

#

people say "oh ||chariot theseus is so much easier to dodge vs spear|| but gold asterius demands space which theseus massively constrains

#

since every bomb deals massive damage

#

like 50 or something stupid

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 3:12 AM

#

i think everyone agrees that ||chariot theseus is easier than normal theseus|| but combined with the bull makes it a nightmare

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 3:13 AM

#

well thats because you dont have to worry about the damned spear that he throws at you which does like 20 dmg

#

per hit

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 3:14 AM

#

that and the shield

topaz jasper Jul 7, 2022, 3:14 AM

#

meh spear is so telegraphed

#

and his spin attack covers very little area

random copper Jul 7, 2022, 3:14 AM

good point

which is why i use arty cast

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 3:15 AM

sweet brook Jul 7, 2022, 4:35 PM

issue with that is you're also trying to take down the bull at the same time so you'll probably be dash attacking, which removes your iframes

#

so these are usually present but i've also gone for a different aproach of using only specials' aoe with some aphrodite/dionysus dps effects

#

sometimes i add the ares boons in for some quick burst but i mostly do fine with aoe , else i get wrecked by the normal enemies

random copper Jul 9, 2022, 5:38 AM

#

quaint forge is meg feasible to beat early game without good ranged damage?

ranged damage is nice, but melee weapons can deal a lot more damage. when she's about to attack, dash through her attach to avoid damage. be careful not to attack while dashing, or the i-frames will be canceled.
dash out of the way when she dashes towards you. she pauses for a bit, so get some hits in before she attacks.
when she swings her whip, you can dash into the attack and negate all damage.
hide behind pillars when she shoots projectiles (or deflect them back with athena boon)
she will be invulnerable while summoning thugs and witches

viscid notch Jul 9, 2022, 6:51 PM

#

Yea it's more than usual

#

idk exactly how much for darkness and gemstones, might be 15

#

For keys it's 2 instead of 1

thanks

if i trade titan blood for gemstones i'll still be able to get more right? there isn't some maximum? just concerned since it seemed to be the reward for hte first time i killed a boss with a specific weapon or something

There’s always more, however that is not a good trade because you’ll need a ton of Titan Blood at this point, and Gemstones will be more for cosmetic stuff

dusky cradle Jul 9, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

oh it was like 1 blood for 200 gems. maybe bad but i was glad to get 20 gold urns and better troves

#

i just won for the first time 🙂 by far the most powerful run i've had so far

viscid notch Jul 9, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

That’s good, will help you get more Titan Blood

dusky cradle Jul 9, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

is there a maximum amount of nectar i can give to each person? the icon seems like it goes on forever. is there a tangible reward for maxing it out if so?

dusk onyx Jul 9, 2022, 10:58 PM

#

i think the max is 5-7 for most of the people?

dusky cradle Jul 9, 2022, 11:16 PM

#

thanks. sorry if these questions are dumb but

#

chaos gates count as a chamber right?

dusty vault Jul 9, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

Yes

#

But if you go throigh one at chamber 12/22/34 it will count as an extra (so instead of arriving at meg on ch14 you arrive at ch15 for example)

dusky cradle Jul 9, 2022, 11:37 PM

oh nice

it'll be a while until you can unlock aspects but yeah nemesis is pretty good for the sword

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:42 AM

#

is family favorite any good?

#

it feels like not

#

the duos are insane

#

well some of them

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:42 AM

#

hold on i dont remember names off the top of my head lemme pull up the wiki

#

oh family favorites is good

#

considering the other option is privileged status, which is conditional

#

you're basically guaranteed 5 gods per run, 4 random ones and at least 1 from hermes so that's a 25% bonus

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

i guess you're pretty likely to have hermes and two others

#

5?

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

PS is good for certain builds like chiron tho

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

dusky cradle 5?

yes

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:44 AM

#

are there only ever 4 and hermes in a run?

#

i haven't been paying attention

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:45 AM

#

you'll be offered a bunch of random gods until you have 4 unique gods (not including hermes)

#

and then you'll only see those same 4 gods the rest of the run

#

so if i have athena, ares, and artemis currently and my door options are aphrodite and dionysus, if i take aphrodite then i'll only see athena, ares, artemis, and aphrodite

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:46 AM

#

that's interesting. i've passed on an extra boon in shops to save money on several occasions, but locking in a 4th would at least reduce the chance of random gods i don't want

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:46 AM

#

yeah

#

at the same time tho if the god in the shop isn't useful for your build then dont go for it

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:47 AM

#

i only have 2 wins, but from what i can tell the 4th is rarely something i'm looking for

#

because i'm just trying to get boons that need qualifications

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:48 AM

#

tbh every run you should only be looking for 2 gods, maybe 3

#

but you can easily force 2

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:48 AM

#

yeah that was exactly what i was thinking

#

but then every boon can just be a random other god

#

like it's not like i know what a random athena boon is going to have in a shop

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:49 AM

#

generally every build's core revolves around a certain duo and then whatever you get is just a nice bonus

#

for melee weapons, a high-roll option would be to get merciful end

#

nemesis could go for heart rend or deadly reversal

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:52 AM

#

this game really needed a more easy to follow ui about the boons

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:52 AM

#

there's a codex

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:52 AM

#

yeah but the codex is clunky

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:52 AM

#

or do you mean like a search bar or something lol

#

it's alright tho if you play the game long enough you'll get the names down

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:53 AM

#

it's far from my first roguelike rodeo but it's still easier when the information is very accessible. admittedly other games are even worse about it

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:53 AM

#

lmfao

#

the wiki's always useful tho

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:54 AM

#

i should just find some mods there's gotta be some QoL stuff that makes it more streamlined

#

for example, if the codex highlighed the ones you already have and the ones you already qualify for

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:54 AM

#

there's a link for the modding community in this server somewhere, maybe in #self-promotion?

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:54 AM

#

that would be a huge boost

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:55 AM

#

yeah it's pinned in #self-promotion

#

although i dont know what exaclty they have

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:55 AM

#

also something that told me what floor i'm on

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:55 AM

#

i do know that it offers you the 4 core boons at the start each time so there's no starting rng

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:55 AM

#

literally a number in the corner of hte screen would be helpful lol

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:55 AM

#

there is

whenever you hit your boon info list thingy

#

if you're playing on kbm it's b

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

cool i never noticed it. still i think i'd prefer it just while running around

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

if you spam it right before entering a room you can have the room number show up but not the boon list lol

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

lol that certainly won't bug anything else out

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

it doesnt

#

i just hit the button a lot whenever entering the room and whenever the room number shows up i stop

#

it's been working fine and i have well over 200 runs in lol

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:57 AM

#

that is a neat bug

#

should be just a feature XD

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:57 AM

#

maybe

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:58 AM

#

what do you mean about it offering 4 core boons at the start?

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:58 AM

#

attack, special, cast, and dash boons are considered core boons

#

i think technically also call but you cant be offered that at the start

#

but regarding those 4, you can only be offered 3 at a time

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:59 AM

#

you're tlaking about the boon in the very first room?

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:59 AM

#

and sometimes you're not offered what you want

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:59 AM

#

dusky cradle you're tlaking about the boon in the very first room?

yes

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 12:59 AM

#

are there any rules about when it's not a boon but instead a hammer?

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:59 AM

#

the 4 boon options only applies to the first room

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 12:59 AM

#

dusky cradle are there any rules about when it's not a boon but instead a hammer?

just rng

#

idk i dont use the mod so i dont really know

#

but it's just from what i've seen

#

the mod offers you 4 instead of 3 because certain builds require different things, and not getting what you want at the start makes you waste resources

#

if you're playing a cast centered build but aren't offered it at the start, you either have to wait until the next time you see that god or use a reroll (fated persuasion upgrade in the mirror)

#

and even then you might not even get what you want because rng lmao

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:01 AM

#

oh you know i didn't realize you were talking about a specific mod

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:01 AM

#

oh lmao

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:02 AM

#

cause you just said there's a modding community and then started referring to "it" XD

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:02 AM

#

my bad lol

#

but if you want to get into modding the link's there

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

sweet thanks. i know there are some mods that increase rewards based on [i don't know how to spoiler], which is apparently not part of hte main game

#

i wonder if that's too game breaking

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

spoiler ||heat|| btw

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:04 AM

#

dusky cradle i wonder if that's too game breaking

tbh letting you complete bounties or get more of the bounty rewards when you increase the ||heat|| doesn't really do anything because you can totally max out everything you need without even finishing the bounties

#

do || on either side of the message

#

||like this||

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:04 AM

#

is there a max ||heat||

#

and is that what you mean by finishing the bounties?

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

if you just max everything on it it goes up to 64 i believe, and no one's been able to do that unmodded lol

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

dusky cradle and is that what you mean by finishing the bounties?

you know how each ||heat level|| you get 1 time rewards right

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

yeah

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:06 AM

#

||it caps at 20 for each weapon and after that you can't get any more rewards||

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:06 AM

#

there's still the mirror. does that cap early too?

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:06 AM

#

i mean

#

just upgrade everything on it and it's done lol

#

idk what you mean for a cap on the mirror

#

yeah they all have a max level

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:07 AM

#

well, i think the mod that increases rewards based on ||heat|| increases darkness too. but it makes sense for that not to scale if it just doesn't take that much to max anyway

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:08 AM

#

I mean I don't know much about the mod I'm just playing the base game lol

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

||yeah i think it just creates a greater incentive to play higher heats once the weapons are maxed. I guess that doesn't matter in reality. I don't play Ascension 20 slay the spire because there are meta rewards||

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

There's always incentive to ||increase the heat|| lol

#

Get better at the game, get various achievements

#

Also there's a bunch of unfinished storylines

#

Also once you get better at the game you can try your hand at speed running lol

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

unfinished storylines by the time the weapons are done or just lingering in the game that will never be completed?

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

You'll probably finish the storylines by the time you max all the weapons

#

That takes a while

#

The storylines might take like idk 20 runs or so if you're lucky

#

Maybe 50

#

But the weapons still might not be maxed by then lol

#

Depending how you play

#

What I did was keep the ||heat low|| and go through the runs as fast as possible to get the storylines done lol

dusky cradle Jul 10, 2022, 1:37 AM

#

i'll probably just keep going up levels and then be sad when i get stuck XD

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 1:38 AM

It's probably the best build for Achilles but for other cast weapons it's not

#

how can I deny the choices? all of them seem bad

viscid notch Jul 10, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

You can't

#

Take one that doesn't harm you and sell it later

#

What weapon/aspect are you playing

#

Another solution would be to not take Dionysus to begin with

analog sparrow Jul 10, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

idk sword I guess

viscid notch Jul 10, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

Or any god that can't offer you much

analog sparrow Jul 10, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

I thought it was loot after I beat a room how was I suppose to know it was dionysus

#

I guess I'll just give up the run

viscid notch Jul 10, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

Before you enter a room the laurel will indicate what the reward will be

#

If you give up runs everytime a minor thing goes wrong you wont get many runs going if any

analog sparrow Jul 10, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

well all 3 choices screwed me over

viscid notch Jul 10, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

Take Trippy Shot

#

And keep going

#

It's not even close to screwing you over

analog sparrow Jul 10, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

all of them apply a curse

viscid notch Jul 10, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

Yea

#

Trippy technically stuns enemies inside festive fog it's not really a curse

analog sparrow Jul 10, 2022, 4:04 PM

#

any gods that don't debuff me?

viscid notch Jul 10, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

Oh I think you're misunderstanding boons

#

They add traits to your actions basically

#

So Dionysus makes your Attack/Special/Dash apply a curse to enemies

#

Not to yourself

analog sparrow Jul 10, 2022, 4:11 PM

#

oh ok

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 4:28 PM

#

No god debuffs you lol

#

The only exception would be chaos but you don't have to take it and the debuffs goes away after a bit

#

But in return you get increased stats for the rest of the run so it's a fair trade

viscid notch Jul 10, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

Yea Chaos is usually worth it

#

If you're scared of dying just take whatever curse doesn't harm you even if the buff you get after is not good

#

solid hill what's the use for Ambrosia? i have 15 of it and no idea what it does

Adding on to what MiKe said, since you're most likely going to have an abundance of ambrosia, it's not a bad idea to trade a few away for titan blood, since that resource is used a lot more

analog sparrow Jul 10, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

is there any point in giving Charon more nectar?

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

analog sparrow is there any point in giving Charon more nectar?

if you're short on nectar then there's no need to give him more nectar

#

there's no need in giving nectar to most characters after the 1st one when they give you the keepsake

analog sparrow Jul 10, 2022, 11:31 PM

#

oof darn I gave him like 5 should I reset my game did I screw myself over also if that's the case why does the game let us keep giving them nectar?

its mostly for story

#

and no dont reset your game

#

just get more nectar in your runs

sweet brook Jul 10, 2022, 11:31 PM

#

yeah lol there's no need to reset

#

progressing story and character bonds are also important to the game, but when starting the game the priority right now is beating the game

#

giving multiple nectars to various characters isn't important at the moment, but later on it will be

#

once you've given everyone 1 nectar and have everyone's keepsake then you can start stacking the nectars onto other characters

solid hill Jul 11, 2022, 1:25 AM

#

which boons are good for the sword?

#

i'm using the aspect that gives crit chance after special, don't remember what it's called

#

it's the only weapon i haven't beaten the game with yet so i guess i should do it for the free titan blood

solid hill Jul 11, 2022, 1:26 AM

#

solid hill which boons are good for the sword?

also hammers

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

with nemesis, it's generally paired with artemis atk with aphrodite or athena special

solid hill Jul 11, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

yeah artemis attack is pretty obvious

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

regarding hammers, hardly any of the hammers are good except for double edge, which gives your dash atks 2x damage or something

#

hits twice

#

arty-athena duo makes you crit more often, arty-aphrodite makes your crits deal more damage

#

standard attack combo is special-dash attack-dash attack for sword

solid hill Jul 11, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

i'll try artemis-aphrodite

#

my last attempt ended at ||Hades|| but that was a while ago

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

with chaos you want to get atk or dash atk buffs

solid hill Jul 11, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

solid hill my last attempt ended at ||Hades|| but that was a while ago

no idea if that should be spoilered but will do just in case

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

sword is a risky weapon only because it's a melee weapon so if you're concerned about getting hit a lot then using arty-athena isn't a bad idea so you have access to divine dash and your deflecting on your special

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

solid hill no idea if that should be spoilered but will do just in case

yeah that should be spoilered

solid hill Jul 11, 2022, 1:33 AM

#

sweet brook sword is a risky weapon only because it's a melee weapon so if you're concerned ...

my two main weapons are spear and bow

#

i used to like shield but now it feels slow compared to other weapons

#

and i'm at ||6 heat||

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:33 AM

#

solid hill also hammers

more in depth regarding this:
double edge is the best hammer for the sword considering the standard attack combo
every other hammer is essentially pointless, but try not to pick one up that harms your build. meaning no cursed slash, no dash nova, no world splitter, stuff like that

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:34 AM

#

solid hill and i'm at ||6 heat||

spoiler ||heat (not fury)|| btw

#

if you see an anvil in styx, probably don't buy it because you're more likely to get a hammer that'll hurt you more than help you

solid hill Jul 11, 2022, 1:34 AM

#

sweet brook spoiler ||heat (not fury)|| btw

yeah, don't wanna lose that double edge

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

the next best hammer besides double edge would probably be breaching slash so you can burn through armor faster, super nova is nice as well

sweet brook Jul 11, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

solid hill yeah, don't wanna lose that double edge

even if you dont have double edge i wouldn't even go for it, it's just too risky

#

if you get something like dash nova then that's gonna suck lol

trade a bit of your ambrosia for titan's blood if you need more of it
but not too much because it's still relatively important

gods legacy or gods pride

context dependent

#

if your build revolve around a duo boon/legendary then it might be good for legacy otherwise run pride

im a new player and i did a spear build with 3 times dash attack but short dashes is it good?

#

wise hornet im a new player and i did a spear build with 3 times dash attack but short dashe...

It's an alright hammer, the shorter dashes are a bit of a pain because it takes practice to use them well, another hammer you can look for if you want to focus on your attack is Flurry Jab, which is much stronger than Serrated, which is what you had there

wise hornet Jul 11, 2022, 1:03 PM

#

yeah i saw that option but 3x attack sounds so enticing

viscid notch Jul 11, 2022, 1:03 PM

#

And if you want to focus on you Special instead you look for Exploding Launcher + Charged Skewer in that order

#

Yea it is attractive at first, but with Flurry you can actually buffer more dashstrikes than Serrated and you can also change their direction

#

And it has no drawback

#

So it's overall considered the strongest on weapons that are compatible with it

wise hornet Jul 11, 2022, 1:04 PM

#

i am compatible with the spear the most

#

i can't do well with other weapons

viscid notch Jul 11, 2022, 1:05 PM

#

Well Flurry Jab is strictly a spear hammer, but some spears can't get it, such as the Hades Aspect

#

wise hornet yeah i saw that option but 3x attack sounds so enticing

it's good but only if you have extra dashes from hermes

wise hornet Jul 11, 2022, 2:14 PM

#

when you choose between 2 god boons is the option you dont pick always tries to kill you?

gray haven Jul 11, 2022, 2:15 PM

#

Yeah.

wise hornet Jul 11, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

oh i get it now you also get the other one if you beat the chamber

viscid notch Jul 11, 2022, 2:21 PM

yup

wise hornet yeah i saw that option but 3x attack sounds so enticing

I’m fairly certain base dash attack on spear actual hits twice and serrated just makes it hit a third time so it’s a 1.5x as many hits rather than 3x

It hits once

Ok then I’m dumb

Disregard what I said

Hello, I have a question. If I equip a keepsake that "forces" a specific god boon at next opportunity, does it work until I take the boon, or just spawns a door choice once? As in, if I choose the other (non-god) door, will the keepsake still "force" the god choice again next time, or is the opportunity lost then?

wind perch Hello, I have a question. If I equip a keepsake that "forces" a specific god boo...

Yes, it will force the god again when possible if you don’t take it, there is a small counter under the keepsake that says 1, if disappears once you pick up the actual boon from the respective god

cool, thank you :)

#

when you reroll does it change the rarity?

sweet brook Jul 12, 2022, 1:52 AM

#

Yes

#

You technically can roll for rarity but it's generally not worth it

#

Unless you're rolling for legendary/duo then definitely do that
