sus
can cope for rare
how good is divine flourish on luci compared to arty special
Good
good
Deflect is good
horrible
do i just take epic athena speical
good
Damage is good
good
hm
Not bad
thanks
good
Wrong person
ill take that as a yes and sell it for uc
NO
why sell it
Get support fire instead
idk
Unironically cracked af
this isnt sword
i already have athena dash
bruh
Idk man hahahaha 🤣
how are you gonna sub 10
then did you really win
Ok mr lucifer 32 heat wr hooter
keep it it's cracked
also doesnt support fire have prereqs
epic athena is enough damage
No
literally forgot i had that
oh huh
i have too many wrs 😔
what's the time on that
9:01 or smth
Same 😦
if i get special replace though
sus
im totally doing it
surely you can do better than that
I’d bet money magnil has a faster 40
yeah probably
guess no one runs it lmao
Yep
yeah because lucifer sucks
Croven
oop\s
beat it then
Boutta reset for sub 1:30 full build at the end of aspho sheesh
can you get like a 9:02
if you get a faster run dont submit it
ok magnil does not have a faster 40 heat run than mine
Man I don’t like the idea of bruiser louts in tart with common lightning strike and nothing else
Not even sub 3
woo finally died to TD for the first time
go faster
Zagrail clearly
lmao holy wtf
you can literally just facetank heroes with luci
you do that much damage
if I had common aphro attack and c11 hammer on zrail I would've timed out in c6
zshield
i like this aspect more than eris ngl
based
Em4
no
:croven:
Yeah
how so
I’d do ap2
no
RI0
im not doing ap2
RI2 AP2 EM4 choose 1
no
All of them then
im just going to go with this
Cursed
it was my preferred eris 50 pact anyway
It's fine it can work
Bro really gonna ask us how this pact is and not take our advice
You’ll see jolted, won’t be epic tho 
meh, im just going for triple spam
I like ap2 as you only really need 2-3 boons
Artemis start
And one is guaranteed
wtf
RI0 means more health too
the problem is you need both zeus attack and a good special
That's easy to get
Yeah
idk not on ap2
i also like ri0 but not when it means ap2
Also it’s not 1/5 because you have the attack already filled up
Then do ri2 ap1 then
And you don’t really need a special anyway till late elysium
yeah you dont always get offered all cores
half the time im not offered special on 9 heat
Take shackle
honestly i think the only things ill take ap2 over are like cp2 and ri3
if its not like zag shield or smth
i really hate ap2
Ap2 isn’t as bad as you think
Bruh
is concentrated beam or triple beam better on luci
I think triple
splitting bolt is a scam you dont need it
Copium
Well, at least static discharge better late than never
WOW no dark foresight is awful
yep
ri moment
on zag bow it doesnt matter too much though
except that you see hammer a lot later
I just got the perfect zshield 53 start
c1 hammer, c2 erebus heart, c3 rare aphro attack
if I throw this I should delete the game
nah
Not epic smh
50 + HS and hell mode
well now it's epic via eury
all this highroll and I still needed tooth for lernie bruh
ely please don't murder me
yeah lol
Lol
potted?
ely arrowed
or wait no thats 4 minutes later
oh rip wtf
it's a good excuse and I'm sticking by it
"I dashed too much ☹️👎"
Too many i frames 😭
A little too safe
As a very casual Hades player this chat scares me
why
It should, now hand over all your valuables for daring to come in here 🔫

why
I’m a very casual Hades player too
just a casual player, nothing special
im casual too
yeah same i play it casually
i dont make money off of it and therefore am not a professional
I'm casual i only play 50 heat for bounties
Tbh that's why we asked them to give us a high heat channel back then because #h1-builds-and-combat became very intimidating for casual players with us all discussing 40+ Heat strats. 
you dont want cshot on beo if youre doing em4, right?
If you just want a clear and care more about safety then yes, you don't want that hammer
alr
do you still run legacy on passion beo or do you just do pride?
I think if I wanted to gamble for Mirage Ill just do Flood
Just run pride
With Passion Flare I go for Pstatus Pride and ignore Mirage
Look for Snow burst instead
alr cool
In a vacuum, pstatus pash snow burst is similar DPS to flood with mirage
But mirage scales way better with other cast damage bonuses, meanwhile weak and chill are amazing safety
Ferocious or sudden
ok
Depends on the DPS of your build tbh. If it can push you over the edge to essentially skip the fight, you want it. If you're in for a long fight either way, you probably don't want it.
Having epic Greatest Reflex or not can also be a factor.
Yea that works
Simply get good rng
nice
Yeah that’s as standard as it gets
if you're a coward run EM3 DC1 AP2 like I did
i know i should force dem in aspho but this well lol https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/845087924717486140/1004462528706920591/unknown.png?width=863&height=670
nemesis crest 
If you have pstatus/dem in the pool just meme it out
js3lysium is kinda 
no
just get free rooms
skip it you gamer
had aphro dem pos arty
then i forgot you arent supposed to sell your attack 
what spaghetti even makes that happen
where mirage
I remember my first beo 50 attempt entered ely c2 with high level passion flare, snow burst, mirage, and athena in pool
then I threw
imagine
BRUH
thats
it was so depressing because I hadn't done EM4 before
I even forgot to kill myself and missed out on an athena dd
bruh
then rerolled a first styx athena from sure footing to nothing good
it was the single worst 50 of my life
🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
hey snow burst hard carry
let me tell you it did not hard carry
they were like 350 damage volleys lmao
this is why you dont take that many pommables
no that happens all the time
you're not a real heat player if you don't lose half your runs to lernie tbh
wtf
nice shot abuse
gamer highroll
also what was bouldy boon
also wait is rr actually good
it's good on shields vs superdad
lol
but yeah shields can tank 1dash fine
yeah
ok
50% damage and dodge chance gud
wouldve died if i didnt have rr
or rd
shoutout to my actual successful beo 50 which was AP2 hyper delivery
lmao remember that
~1% chance of that
that was about 20 as my first 50
beo is bad first 50 if you're unfamiliar with superdad so I struggled
i had way more attempts on eris
i think i had like 40 eris 50 attempts
eris is not a good first 50
hm maybe
i took 2 attempts for my first beo 50
I feel like it would be fine to grind out the RI0 AP2 pact until it works though
modded of course
it took me (technically) 1 attempt for eris 50
yeah with cheat engine
and it took me (technically) 1 attempt for zag shield 50
everyone says zag shield is easy heat but its so hard 
zshield is the best modded first 50 imo
zag shield
me after getting fountain heart rooms
god fountain heart hits different
me when than + heart room
thats actually cheating
you cant just force a than room
might as well force patty too
I mean modded should make every combat room than encounter
is that more fair?
Thanatos appears in every room. Yes, that one too.
Work in Progress, still has some bugs.
modded should force fountain c33 and patty c34
omg i forgot about this
19 min rta only tart and aspho 
than showing up in chaos is the funniest thing
What lmfao this is amazing
Seeing what is truly capable in this game is mind numbingly crazy, also bc I suck and can barely me em3
@frozen spear do beo 50 as bad zag
lol I've considered it
how does beo's dragon rush buff work
is it base or additive damage
@jaunty falcon
@jaunty falcon
Ok thanks @jaunty falcon
ok cool thank you @jaunty falcon
i believe that is the case @jaunty falcon
ok ill stop now
Bro is crying right now
ugh i died to dad again
lvl 3 common cast 
also @hoary pasture do you have a practice save for em4 dad with passion flare and snow burst?
but you can make it to superdad almost every time right
Unfortunately not close to my laptop atm
EM4 pact moment tbh
yeah p much
i really dont like superdad pacts
everything else is a joke
And I had already cleared 50 heat multiple times
em4 pacts
lmao

Well although it’s Beo, it still doesn’t make EM4 effortless 
In some situations bad Beo habits can be really punishing
Like instantly dash striking after bullrushes

It’s how you want to be initiating bullruhes but you should be mindful of it
Because it can easily be the reason you take a hit
Especially if your actual bullrush wasnt well timed
So you end up dash striking into a spin or a spear throw
mine
Yea
im confident i could do it easily ive i got like a lvl 5 cast snow burst and patty
You can do AP2 DC1
oh good idea
nice thing is that cshot makes pre dad super comfy
yeah
even with AP2 being awful as usual
literally like 90% of your damage in tart is cshot lol
reminds me of a certain blitz disc aspect
Smh non em4 beo 50 pact
🗿
we're not all as gamer as you
to decide that we need to figure one thing out
@hoary pasture on your first playthrough how did you decide on meg and than romances
Don't you use a maxed save now 
Yea, and my first playthrough is over a year ago
ok so the great part about this is that i get to use cshot
the bad part is doing non cshot beo made me forget how to use cshot
Didn't you play cshot beo yesterday
yeah
Bruh
ah good idea
also should i just like sell all pommables
you need 1 to sell too
Thunder dash is aight
and also tbh you still want FF to kick in
Really good on sword tho
true but i need the poms to go on my cast, not frozen touch
Frozen touch good tho
yeah but it eats poms 
Good
frozen touch is so good
frozen touch cracked but not on hl5
lmao
wait what keepsake do i take into aspho lmao
pom blossom?
spearpoint?
distant memory?
Yes
oh thats a good idea
Maybe Athena would be good
tooth still at lvl 1 for me tho
Why
i never use it
How
bruh
acorn better
Smh
i also still have skull earring at lvl 1
Acorn better until you die to speeder slugger great shields
i actually need to level that one up because its actually good
lol i took pom porridge with 1 boon
oh my god that's painful
also greater evasion is straight up a downgrade
I found out that if you block a dad cast dodge can take priority
You using a revenge build?
Oh
what does that mean
You dodge before you block
aka blocking a cast still causes dodge calculation to kick in
If that makes sense
and that causes the cast to pass through you and land
instead of being deleted by block
for dad can be downgrade yeah
Not like you are actually dodging anything with common greater evasion
god this pact is so much better
the game isnt that much harder and theres no superdad
How you go from hating on ap2 to this
Super dad fight fun tho
Skissue
i dont like most of the run being easy and then a major diff spike at the end
its why i dont like farm maps in osu
theyre boring and frustrating
a map that gives a lot of pp while being disproportionately easy
tbh osu is literally hades fr
Hmm yes pp
yep
https://imgur.com/JaWztn1 why why why why why
every single time
BP2 is fun and fair
zrail no SF
gamin
Common cast let's gooo
dc1 🗿
cheat engine
ok so far luci>beo>eris
luci not better than beo you just suck at beo 🗿
its your cheat engine

bruh
What is that symbol?
@lone bridge Do you still want an EM4 save
Can I have it
yes please
Holy seizure warning batman
yeah just em4 50 pact
yeah ik the whole point of this is practicing in a worst case scenario lol
Oh also you dont run RR do you
uhh normally not but ill give it a shot
Yea ik but I can barely win that
when i was doing 50 attempts it didnt really make too much of a difference
ok lol maybe something better then
i mean idk whats a reasonable build
you have a 56 beo clear i dont think you do
well yeah but you did 50 with td0 and "played slow" and still ended up at 20 minutes
im counting that as 56
oh i forgot about hammers lol

sudden/ferocious/that beo specific one are all good
unyielding defense
thanks
Remember when #h1-high-heat-strategies message
Ok see ya then! 😄👍
i see what youre saying now lol

what are good builds with rama for high heat?
A beefy % attack, Aphro is very good (ideally not common), or you can go for Artemis because crits, any high rarity % attack can do except Poseidon (avoid that one), for the Special you want flat damage, it's not hard to come by, usually not worth forcing tho, Ares Dio Zeus are the main ones, you can go for Demeter and try to get Killing freeze, it can work pretty well, for the Dash there arent many options because most of them are either anti-synergy or just dont do anything, Artemis however is probably the best in slot dash, because Rama relies on dash strikes and getting dash strike damage is just good, Athena is a good one too because deflecting is nice, another important thing for Rama is hammers, ideally you want Triple Shot or Twin Shot for your first hammer, if not offered you can go for Perfect or Point Blank, and for the second hammer you usually want Perfect or Point Blank (assuming Triple or Twin first) but the order can be the other way here, if you get Perfect Shot as first hammer then it's fine too, hammers to avoid are Sniper shot (blocks Twins shot) and also doesnt do anything, and Repulse shot, Explosive is a bit of an odd one, it's nice in some scenarios but hard to play, Chain shot is okay, wont do much in bosses. Rama is difficult and needs practice but it's really good when it comes to heat especially, it's a good idea to watch vods of people who are good at it and try to implement their movement and decision making in your runs
i forgot that copypasta existed
ty
is rama best bow?
all the bows are pretty good tbh
ehh
hera and chiron are pretty bad for high heat
and only 1 of them is really good for speed
chiron is the only really bad bow tbh
chiron is good for speed if you are magnil or bablo
rama is good for speed if you are ocaml or scalar
and zag bow is good if you are croven
"good"
also latt has a sub 6 on zag bow lol
yeah
i read on some thegamer articles that chiron is the best bow
oh shoot
thegamer said that?
ig im wrong then
yup
first tried 32 heat with rama
i got both of the hangover duo's so i got pretty lucky
is zag bow actually good?
all the zag aspects look pretty bad
most zag aspects are good
shield and bow are mega cracked
i really like spread fire with zag gun
zag shield and zag bow are good for high heat
is there like a doc for builds for high heat on all the aspects?
sick ty
really? Zag shield?
it has a couple of wrs
flat +15 to shield dmg is a huge buff
🗿
lmao its somewhat true though
Only at 61+
Even then it’s probably better than chaos
Because of the raging rush buff
it was a joke, but yeah chaos wr is 61 and beo is 60 lol
chaos kinda built different
why is beowulf not good for really high heat? Is it because of damage control?
no that was a joke lol
all of the shields are amazing for high heat
the reason beo is lower than the other 3 for highest heat cleared is because taking ri3 ruins the aspect
because you only get 1 cast
ri and ap are terrible pacts for cast aspects
but honestly from what i hear most people say it might as well be the worst shield for 50 lol
everyome says zag shield is the easiest 50 and if it is then chaos and zeus can be played the exact same way for only a slight damage loss
105 vs 120
I always heard Zeus is the best shield for high heat, its just really hard to use well
on modded it's legit broken
so many pacts are so bad for beo and its still one of the best weapons for heat
its just that dumb
until 61
where it falls off a cliff
(because of RI3)
can't wait for beowulf to fall off a cliff irl
More like because that's what the couple of people who do 60+ chose.
Nah chaos is better for the zag shield cosplay because it’s faster than Beo
The reason Beo doesn’t do 62 or anything is cause it can’t play the cast game with one infernal cast and it’s regular attacks are too slow to effectively play the c shot game
And zag shield is only easy for 50 if you use modded and do AP2
Which is a bit disengenuine for unmodded players
Yeah id say beo is the easiest unmodded shield at 50
Zeus is probably more effective but requires effort
yeah i was mwaning modded, its not great unmodded
unmodded def beo
why do you need modded ?
is it because you need a very specific combination of hammer & boons to make it work? so without modded it's too many resets?
thats one thing
it also gives you the 4 core boons for your first boon which will help deal with ap
and you will also get a 2 sack
you also see all the fountain rooms which is nice
oh, didn't know modded gives you all fountains
are you guarenteed a fountain room offered as an option?
no
Elaborate?
but modded guarantees that if one is offered, you have the chance to pick it
i think theyre just talking about cshot
?
Bet
yes
The idea behind modded Zag Shield being way stronger than unmodded Zag Shield is that if you take AP2, once you see a hammer you have a 1/12 chance of seeing Charged Shot, on top of only a chance at starting with an attack boon
With modded both of those things are guaranteed
Which makes AP2 5 free heat you can just take
As your build is complete by the end of Tartarus
idk 80 base damage go brrr
pulv blow gang
I enjoy Pulv blow zag shield a lot more than c shot zag shield personally
But that’s cause it plays more like Zeus
And I’m more used to Zeus
I don’t think I’ve done 32 heat zag shield tbh 
How is it better than Zeus
Not sure I understand it feels like Zeus is better in every way
zag shield is a lot simpler
Zag shield takes less brain cells than Zeus at lower heat
you get cshot and then you just attack -> hold just enough to start charging -> release -> repeat
Having to control the Zeus special on top of regular shield stuff makes it harder to function optimally
so it’s basically zag bow
Oversimplifying but that’s how concepts stick with me lol
Zag bow but while you’re charging your shot you get a plate in front of you
based
What do you mean by that? It's for satyrs tunnels, where modded guarantees that sack is on 2nd tunnel?
Gotcha
yeah and you dont even dash strike lmao
Yeah, sometimes I had excellent runs up untill tunnels and then I find sack in the last one and then I don't have time for em4 Hades :(
Btw what is highest heat recorded zag shield run on YT?
62
theres 2
i beat a fresh file on the fifth run via zag bow, i can do 32 shield i think. havent played in forever was off playing returnal
yeah
nice
3 if you count damue
i definitely dont 
Can't find damue run
yeah because he cheated
Oh
lmao
How does one cheat
Undeclared mods?
Am I cheating using mods at all I swear I’m just lazy
.
He artificially increased crit rate and messed with loot chances without disclosing the fact ahead of time
But yes Angel has two 62 heat Zag shield runs, one with RI3 and one with RI4
Surprised he didn't tried to do 64 heat zag shield run
Angel or Damue?
Mods that affect the run in any way aren't allowed, video must be continuous of a single run and show the previous death. Cheating would be intentionally violating the rules.
Modded leaderboard has their own rules on mods, of course.
Angel
Funny you say that cuz she got to dad on 64 the other day
damue 🗿
*she, I did try for 64 zag shield, got to heroes I think but that was months ago
like 2 days ago I got to dad on 64 zeus shield
Im getting to heroes like every 1-2 hours now
Sweet God, one more month and you'll have it 
bold of you to assume I'II grind this for a month 
I even got within 10 seconds of doing it on the run that got to dad(savestate)
Baj did seeded 64 heat run with Zeus shield
which also gave 2 butterfly balls
yeah same
getting hit once with 2 bballs is so absurd
its 100% possible lol
thats so absurdly ridiculous
no its not
now you legally have to prove me wrong
blade dash hard carry?
^^
lol it's like how the fastest way to get a response is to say something wrong and get corrected instead of asking a question
yeah but rav+ferocious+earring kinda 2 earrings
64 heat unseeded is impossible
modded for epic start yeah
aka cheating 🗿
what a based mod
do you have to reset for epic zeus
yes
bro
damn that sucks
thats why shes using epic start lmao
common thunder flourish is not good
cgull made a mod
for super high heat yeah
90% of runs not getting past ch1 🗿
lmao
I once had like 45 minutes where I just didnt get epic
lol @ me needing it for 53 heat
unmodded 64 will never be done tbh
I literally already did it
1/400
1/400?
because epic zeus special then ER
common thunder dash start gonna prove you wrong
oh damn right you need er
I think thats what upancake calculated
1/400 chance to leave tart lol
have you considered starting with epic aphro and cshot
omg
I mean I know that epic is better than common, but usually it's not making that difference?
at super high heats it is
its 30 damage vs 45
you absolutely need epic
*leave ch3 
still need to not die to tart, or pace
do you reset for c3 hammer
no
thank god
that would be 🗿
can cgull make a mod to make hammer appear in c3
cgull should make a mod to force all free rooms
thats just routed
true
can cgull make a mod to guarantee c27-34 armored splitters
there was that one mod
for hyper delivery
that made armored enemies more likely to appear
armored chariots are better than armored splitters
yo what
the further along you got in a biome
sounds epic
so better version of speedrunning mod
but it basically didnt work(I dont remember exactly)
smh thats just bp1 strats with extra steps
or not enough
how hard would 64 unmodded be with the than every room mod
easier
harder probably
wait can than just one shot hades
"Could 62 Zag shield ever be done unmodded? Technically. But I’d be very surprised if anyone did it. You only have a 1/12 chance of even getting CShot, and also only a 1/4 of getting heartbreak strike first boon. If you reset for epic then your odds are like 1/40 on first boon (is that correct)? So your odds of starting a run are like 1/480 if you reset for epic attack and CShot?"
lol
then you have 20 minutes for dad
oh true
he does spawn vs than
but only phases him
but then again the mod caused multiple megs to spawn so maybe the same for dad
yeah lmao
you did ap2 60 3rd try tho right
was that epic attack?
there was this one guy who did unmodded 62 zag shield
damnue
hunter dash start with shackle
I got common arti in ch13
wtf lmao
disgusting
thats insane for ap2 ri
https://youtu.be/f6GipboAH3I one of the runs
ngl this is literally my 3rd ever 60 attempt unmodded, dunno what to say. this run is unbelivably cracked RNG wise.
imo
it was like taking candy from a baby
can confirm
or rather taking life from hades
like taking candy from chaos shield users
who is gonna do that except for you
just pom start with dio special
then you bull rush up to stuff and use your special at point blank range for insane damage
@cursive portal probably didn't know that tech
i wonder if any other aspects are gonna clear 60
gilga must be close
yeah probably
Baj’s run was unmodded

Famous last words
that was so sad
Which haven’t yet
i still find it hilarious that arthur is tied with nem lol
should i purposefully underaim hera crush shot to get casts back or is it not worth it
hera high heat is just bad zag bow i think 
hera heat wr plays like normal iirc
should've specified unmodded
does anyone primarily play use the fists? do you recommend it or should I be trying to focus on a different weapon
not great for heat but if you like them then use them
not great for like 45+
