you really like your zag bow
Hmm Hmm
also stygian soul right?
RI3
lightning rod has innate olympian legacy attached to it
https://gyazo.com/36388c6cb2907536a4758cd38b0bba96 Beo players salivating in the distance
Butterfly miniboss took like 25 seconds
Got a Positive Outlook from Dio
It was that or secondary Ares
Which I guess means JerdsToKill
But eh
Second Wind from hermes
woop woop
... Chamber 33 is a fountain
Oh boi
wow that was close, 1 second remaining Baj, what a god ๐
Timer was cutting it close, yeah
... Chamber 34 no patty. Good thing I took Accorn
shackles for tartarus is a way to get early damage and seeing what boons become available to get a game plan going?
Pretty much
The general strategy I had in mind was "Wait until you get a decent special, then go for Skull Earing for damage"
Because of CP2
At first, yes
But then I realized that Chill is actuall SUPER nice to get on Theseus and Hades
https://gyazo.com/4747f471b3fce99b9c02a2e8c068bf0a Demeter taking away my accorn charges like
Soo
How does one do a Savefile
Because I think doing one at this point is good
Should have done it prior to heroes but whatever
Excellent
I now have a savefile in slot 3 for me to practise Styx in
But I'll be real, I don't want to complete the run yet
Getting a bit of a headache now
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/725021639506526249/786403773470867526/unknown.png streak is back up to 5 
don't forget about the meme dash
Blade Rifts go brrrrrrrr
aight so chaos crossed out +1 cast 3 runs in a row
kek
so i'm taking that as a sign to turn the game off for the night
When Chaos casts you into the void 
also retrash i stole your strat and used blade dash to get out of tartarus in my run that went to heroes
i am officially sold
but i def sold it in well out of tartarus
Telling you people are sleeping on blade dash
it's good
i don't like it in asphodel but its solid in tartarus
and i hate that it's good
I actually like it on shield
blade dash fists actually shreds stuff
in asphodel enemies just jump out of it
Because of Bullrush being able to place yourself for blade rifts
its legit on arthur cuz you slow enemies down in avalon
blade dash solves a problem which is why its solid
my first successfull FO2 32 arthur was with blade dash
and you don't need to invest anything to let it solve your problem
^high heat in a nutshell
light on synergy. good standalone value
Retrash casually streaking 45 heat like
oh @misty hamlet i forgot to say, thank you for enlightening me to no CF2. its a godawful pact
CF2 is fine... if you always start with coin purse 
lmao i tried the retrash start for a bit with fated authority
actually retrash isn't fated authority kinda built for you?
not with AP2 it aint
same
ye he's coming for my record
NO RI NO AP
interesting
I'll catch the vod
gonna be a whole lot of resets :^)
Thats the beo life
people in here really like beo, huh?
think its mostly me and tyler but ive done my best to indoctrinate others
lol
Zag Shield > Beowulf. 
im gonna say i did that on purpose 
zag shield is sick tbh
Beowulf is also sick, but in the "I feel sick and very weak and not very well" sort of way. 
...
m very RI3+ biased tbh.
Phase 1 adds are the real threat of EM4
Gonna need to find a way to deal with those as Zeus Shield
Just keep dying until he summons only the Skullcrushers.
...
I know you are memeing
But legit
I want to find an anwser
Broken Spearpoint ain't enough
m 50% memeing tbh.
save max call and summon for phase 1 part 3
and just nuke him as fast as possible then
That's what I've been doing
But I might have set my savefile to CP2 as well
oops
Just run full Aphro call and burn it on a doomstone skull 
don't remind me please
I have a practice save at EM4 with HL5 CP2 DC2 FO2 HS. It's not very fun.
It's mostly that part 2 add
That screws up my accorn charge strat
And Part 3 to an extent
So I can't do it
which adds?
Basically any that aren't stompers
Sneaks, Butterflys, Gorgon Heads, Doomstones
Even if you don't hit Doomstones, they'll still do a 8-beam attack
Hades himself ? I can handle him
if you get doomstones in phase 1 part 2, hit it a few times and keep it alive so he doesn't summon more adds for part 3
yeah, he doesn't summon if there's enough small crystals on screen
...
Now that's big brain
So that leaves the butterflys that fill the entire battlefield, Sneaks that will randomly just hit you if you aren't in sync with their teleport pattern, and Gorgon heads that you can't even destroy their projectiles with a basic attack because SGG thought it was too good and removed the ability to do so in the last update
divine dash is your best bet against those but sneaks are definitely the worst
I think divine dash is the only dash that destroys butterflies
Which, considering I eventually plan to run AP2, is basically asking for a reset-fest
Urgh
It's not like I can focus the butterfly either, it teleports the moment you rush towards it
I usually ignore it and focus entirely on dad
Which I try to do that, and the bigger problem occurs : 67% of the battlefield is filled with butterflies
Sounds awful all across the board
it's a lose-lose scenario so you just gotta work with what you can
I'll do more testing
It'll also let me practise my Styx a bit
Got a savefile ready and all
The only adds that really bother me are butterfly balls and sneaks. The other 3 are pretty manageable.
Gorgon heads might just be a "me" thing
maybe, I never had any problem with them
My damage won't be so great in an actual run, so that's why I added CP2 in the savefile practise
Since I didn't run AP
@north dove If you don't mind me asking, what keepsake do you usually use ?
the worst one is when he uses darkness right as you aphro/arty full call
for styx?
Yeah
I'll try the Tooth out
God I hate that, happens a lot more than I'd want
Also does tooth count for stuff like Touch of Styx and Deathless Stand?
Nope
nope
Use your burst Call after i-framing a spin when you're right next to him to guarantee the hit.
That alongside a Meg should finish it off in an actual run
He won't use invisibility then because he's in recovery.
Assuming I have a non-Zeus, non-Dio, or maybe even non-Ares call
...
Demeter Call for the add slowdown ?
That's a lot of ifs.
Demeter's Aid does a lot of hits on Doomstones, and every hit drops a shard or something, no?
But then said shards also get hit so ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I value the chill on the call more than the damage
Damage's to help for rooms, mostly
At some point, I'll have to test it out
Easy to do in Tartarus
For now, Zeus call it is ... yeah
But the practise I did so far did help me out
Don't think I actually ate a spear throw so far
Mostly me being greedy with dash attacks when I shouldn't be, urns after lasers hit 'em, Occasionnal Shockwave I didn't pay attention to, or the adds
Going back to it
My policy for boss fights is if I can't do the fight clean with HL5 CP2 DC2 FO2 HS and EM, I don't take it. Clean meaning with 200 HP or less in a reasonable time. And tbh in my short practice with Rama I haven't been able to get to phase 3 at all yet.
Doomstones just murder me.
In my practise savefile, I have no patty and 217 MAX HP before Styx
My only real defense is Second Wind lol
Relentless Volley + Chain Shot might just be the worst possible combo, though.
Is it normal for Doomstones to drop like 12 shards or something immediately? Does it drop shards on every Hangover tick?
I think it drops one for every hit lol
Because I swear the whole map is just covered in shards.
With Hangover I'd assume it just procs each tick lol
lol
No wonder it fills up
Might have to do a new save with other hammers.
Mine has Explosive Return and Minotaur Rush
Minotaur Rush isn't as practical without Sudden Rush, so it's only really Explosive Return that does something
Against EM4 anyways
... Maybe I shouldn't have set it all the way in the beginning of Styx
5-sacks are annoying
You can have a practice save right at Hades lol.
I could
I should
I got my response to the Butterfly at part 2
Rushing it can work out
Just gotta do it like 3 times
Turns out I can pull a Heroes for that
Phase 2 is on lockdown
Phase 3 I gotta rethink, because he starts going for fast skull throws again
Chiron do be getting poopied on by Doomstones
And Rama against butterfly balls are just like ..... 
It's not even that they're very dangerous, it's just tilting to get stunned so much
LOL i finished achilles 45 and then realized my stream wasnt set to automatically record past broadcasts
achilles will remain the only unsubmitted unseeded weapon :^)
Nooooo
Uh
Turns out the Butterfly rush strats also work on Doomstone
Took like 2-3 laser hits and that was it
So it's only sneaks that pose a problem
And I might be able to also bullrush to 'em fast enough
They aren't that tanky
Starting to figure the adds out
you know more about zeus but maybe keeping special for when sneak TPs on you?
IDK
i know i usually just wait for first TP and nuke them with beowulf
what's your usual burst combo with zeus?
Zeus doesn't burst as much as it just buzzsaws things
that was my impression
So I'd have to wait out the TP specifically
The one that sneaks behind you
While also looking out for Hades
yeah that's tough
But I don't think that's impossible
With that, I'd have a strat against all the adds but Gorgon Head
She just refuses to show up lol
But I probably just try to keep the special on her and bullrush to cross her up
one level of JS is manageable
it was a no EM4 run
With EM4 you might time out
Doing what
achilles 50
Not quite
I think I also played around with RI
Which is not what one would really want
JS3 CP2 just sounds so rough on spear
yup lol
if any spear can do it though it's achilles
I mean
that thing still tears through normal rooms
Tailesque did a bunch of high heat runs with Hades lol
true
https://gyazo.com/d365d652ed405b0f574beb05ac8ea65a This is what you end up with
Without EM4, AP, RI
And DC
And that's with CP2
a disaster i tell you
CP2, JS3, TD3 ... ๐ฐ
I think I ended up messing with something like this : https://gyazo.com/4230eb8c8a59f0b2602d105627262068
I'm a RI nut so lol
Could consider CF2 -> No CF and AP1
Losing Dark Foresight is so annoying
Yeah
Damage Control is a problem for Achilles spear? I almost never play the aspect
You want the cast damage burst probably?
Basically limited to Ares/Demeter for cast stuff
And otherwise, You want specific hammers
This is probably a more reasonnable approach, if you go for either of those I mentionned
No RI means AP1 isn't that bad
But CF is still a pain
And EM4's still there
Achilles' stupid hard to optimize, Heat Wise
No wonder Tailesque went for Hades Spear instead
Like, this is why I started to mess around with the special of all things
Since it's not as laggy on Achilles because you can throw it super close to you/rush to it
Damage Wise, it can keep up, especially if you go with Vicious Skewer
And it still makes going for a generalist build with core boons viable
Casts are still an ok pickup as well, but not the main focus
Yea... you're basically spinning anyways for the fastest room clears
But I do think Sturdy Spin is necessary if you play DC
... If you go for spins
You'll mainly want to Dash-strike a bunch anyways
Like special -> rush to it -> dash-strike -> dash-strike again (or attack, with 1 dash) -> repeat
Spinning is basically the fastest way through Tartarus...
And on Hades, the buff still makes you want to put it up
baj is just used to having 5 boons per run
I did watch his hades run... was it like 43 heat? he might have timed out without the early sturdy spin
dont listen to him
Spinning, from my experience, is NOT the fastest way to go through Tartarus
Or not always
On the Hades spear
On Hades spear you do it for the debuff
Not necessarely
also yeah you usually spin once or twice per wave
Flurry Jab is lol
It basically one shots everything that isn't armored in Tartarus...
But Vicious Skewer I need to play with more
Yeah, sure, of course... I did mention DC
But I do think Sturdy Spin is necessary if you play DC
DC is super obnoxious
but it is not "necessary" in any way
For TD3? It might be
i'm pretty sure tailesque has clears on hades without flaring spin
and there are others too
So, watching Tailesque's run of 50 heat real quick, he does pick up Flaring Spin
But the way he uses it, it's about the same as say dash-striking a bunch
Since enemies are far appart enough to not get hit by the AoE
It's not that big
It helps, sure
But it's not necessary
I think on that run... he's at or over deadline as well...
To me, that sounds like it's borderline necessary
Like
It really didn't change out he played out lol
Now that I see it
He nearly timed out in Tartarus because of a Numbskull + witch room, on top of many non-great rooms
Even without DC, it would have been close with that kind of room luck
Especially since he got Than in Tartarus
Something like Quick Spin might have been even better
Bunch of thugs too
iirc tail doesnt really rate spear spin hammers but that opinion may have changed
since hades basically just has a built in spear hammer
*spin
I think he rated Flaring Spin a bit better because of that run
But otherwise, yeah
You want Serrated Edge, Explosive Launcher, Charged Skewer
You know, things that increase your boss damage ?
charged skewer
interesting
whats the actual base dmg increase on explosive launcher?
yeah
ah ok for some reason i thought it was like 100 base and then i remembered it was because of epic chaos
:^)
and debuff
1k crits with hades spear special feels illegal
So
In the video, he nearly times out in Elysium
Again, because room RNG gave him a bunch of swordsman, which to my understanding, is pretty bad
And with Divine Dash, I don't think the Flaring spin AoE Mattered as much
He'd just dash-strike a bunch
i dont think achilles needs to build cast now tbh
you can pretty much have buff up 100% of the time without any downsides
Or, Since he picked up Explosive Launcher, he could open up with That instead of waiting for the spin
yeah unarmored swordsmen/flame wheels/witches in elysium are terrible for room difficulty
posting this here because it seems relevant for people who dont want to keep separate practice saves
theres also the codex mod that lets you pick boons and builds to practice with
So he got Archer -> Spearman -> Patty -> Butterfly -> Chaos -> Spearman mixed with Sworsdmen armored -> Spearmen with armored Miniwheels -> Swordmen with late Spearmen
Spearmen are pretty bad too, from what I know, right ?
His Elysium didn't look that great, even with Patty and Chaos, since he got them so early
no spearmen are fantastic
Are they ?
archers arent great
spearmen are worth a very inflated number of points
let me check again
yeah so archers and swords are both worth the same
Not surprised on archers
well
unarmored archers are technically worth slightly more than unarmored swords
spearmen are slightly more than archers
So they are ... about average
shields are more than either of them
the real disparity is with elites and superelites though
lol will we manage to record one Achilles run this year?
superelite archers are worth 250 difficulty points, while shields are like 350
It's not looking too good so far.
Yeah, but now you already know you're only getting 5 sacks.
i'll do it after the new year just for culture
I kinda hate that Giant Rat miniboss lol. Give me anything else, game.
I save my meg just for this bugger lol
Why do you take a million years to ki- oh great I'm poisoned now thanks
soulcatchers are worth as much as spearmen
I've sometimes thought of not doing MM just to get entirely free miniboss chambers lol.
that one's surprising to me
LOL
that would be nice
and being able to meg consistently
baj
this might be the strat for you
LOL
See.
i might start going antos tbh
That's why I use Antos to get rid of both DC2 hearts.
Big brain strats right there
lmao
and then to no one's surprise chariots are worth a ton
almost double a swordsman
unarmored
So Tailesque's Elysium wasn't that great
Mediocre to bad rooms, free rooms were early
yeah the big thing is just armor
Elite Chariot difficulty value is 1/4th of what it should be.
I die more to Chariots than to Hades.
elite chariots are worth surprisingly little compared to their unarmored counterparts
^ that I am not surprised about
Like I said.
Mainly because you'd only see one per wave lol
1/4th of what they should be.
jesus christ 5 bloodless are worth 1 spearman
i am upset
i guess you cant really compare them across regions
but im still upset
1 spearmen
m also upset.
happier?
It's secretly a legion
No.
well
actually theyre "ShadeSpear"
Mods, Bright01 is discussing datamined content. Plz ban.
I win. They're Longspears.
Can't prove me wrong. 
banishing me to modding discord, are we
Maybe you'll make it on the modding leaderboard. That's one you haven't tried yet, right? 
I thought that leaderboard was for the ShadowRealm% category
I just saw you submitted a 32 Beowulf and thought oh cool Bright01 did a mirrorless 32, and then I checked mirrorless and saw yours wasn't mirrorless. And then I laughed because I realized you actually are in last place when I was just memeing. I should feel bad for laughing, but somehow I don't. 
I mean.
was watching tailesques mirrorless and literally LOL'ed at this absolutely cursed image
It was faster than my mirrorless 32 runs, I give you that.
@daring hedge nice power shot.
The #1 high heat player right there.
Sorry.
#2.
@honest kernel you're #1.
I bet Baj would have done that better. 
He also likely took way less attempts than I did
And also has other high heats of his own, like Hades spear
Because he learned from your strategies.
I actually haven't completed a run above 40 with the other weapons yet
Not to mention his mirrorless runs
He couldn't have done it without your 57 to pave the way.
Can't even get out of Elysium on 'em
He only made mirrorless thanks to my efforts, too.
We just don't give him credit for anything, so he won't see the point in barrel-rolling us anymore. 
That just proves your superior strategy. 
... Right now, I can't tell which part of you is memeing/being serious
But either way
To summarize my practise so far, I'm getting better at the EM4 fight already. Adds are the main issue, rest is just me having to play clean. Still developping more strats to optimize the fight itself, starting to figure out the adds a bit. Tooth is likely the keepsake I'll want if I don't get Patty, Broken Spear Point otherwise
Fight looks doable, but I need to be consistent at it
Do you have DC2?
Skulls are a big problem for me with DC2 CP2.
With Zeus shield I literally don't care, because 1. Blocking the skulls still prevents them from spawning, and 2. Zeus Shield is a Buzzsaw and a half, so it chews through DC like no problem
As long as I actually get in range, I can kill them no problem
They disappear if you block them?
oh pog
wait i knew that
for some reason i thought you were talking about the doomstone adds
Same happens if you bullrush into them, BTW
i need sleep
That . . . never happened in the normal Hades fight when I blocked with Beowulf. 
That sounds like a bug.
Deflect used to make them disappear before 1.0, but block never did.
Deflect doesn't anymore
this seems like a pretty straightforward thing to test right
or are you just wondering if it's
able
It happens in my video
Just making a gif of it
There we go
Skull goes sploosh as soon as it exist out because I bullrushed into Hades as he threw it
I could probably do another one that's slower
Yeah, that is not the expected behavior. They should bounce off your shield and just drop. 
shield becomes even safer than it already was
Doing a slower version of it
If it's un-intended, I'll post it in #test-branch-discussion or something
Maybe #test-branch-tech-issues.
It looks unintentional. Never worked like that before, and I don't remember any patch notes about it, either.
This is the first time I go to sleep, wake up, and there's not a single new message in this channel. I restarted Discord just to check if it was bugging out. 
5h sleep ๐ค
Me: Oh boy I can't wait to watch some Beowulf from my fellow high heat beowulf player Bright01
No videos found. 
@formal gust do you stream so i have someone to watch?
You could watch some neat GY 
oh bablo streaming Pog
also I'm in school now @sly remnant
ah. understandable
I might attempt to record a video streaking all 6 zag aspects at 45 heat when I get a day off work. It would be one long video though, probably over 3 hours.
question for this channel: whats the realistic goal for streaking heat wise
i think 40 is pretty hard cap
45 maybe but its super dangerous
like for multiple aspects not just one
all weapons could probably streak at 45 if they were comfortable enough with certain aspects
but all aspects at 45 is...dicey
I think technically you can get good enough with any of the aspects to keep going, up until a pact condition makes a build too RNG dependent, like with AP, or makes the deadline too hard, like with DC2 on Arthur or something.
So you could map out the pact for each aspect, and find the point at which each one moves from "i can grind it out to become consistent" to "RNGesus take the wheel", and then the lowest of that out of all aspects is your goal
i mean i think for streaking purposes AP doesn't exist
even TD3 is sketchy
a lot of people don't like EM4 and i think its super dangerous for streaking
so thtas 12 heat you are missing right there
RI1 is possible on some weapons, but RI2 is incredibly sketch with no thick skin
so thats18-20 heat
which already puts you below 45
Bablo's setup for 40 is pretty realistic
i agree
if yo uwere really good at the EM4 fight like retrash is you can probably think about 45
but its dangerous
EM4 gives you so much less wiggle room with the timer
well TD2 gives you a LOT of space
What is the highest heat beaten?
yeah but taking EM4 over TD3 is only 1 incremental heat
57 by baj and tailesque
Thanks
if you check the pinned spreadsheet in this channel you can watch their runs
If you select every single one the highest you can reach is 67 am I right?
63 in normal mode 64 in hell mode with personal liability
Oh I see thanks mate
yea np. we suspect 58/59 is doable....but farther than that.....is difficult
if tailesque banged his head against the wall he could probably do 61/62, but even that is super iffy
Yeah that's true
I think max heat minus max TD is probably doable, since it's just taking your time and playing safe, but the timer is what makes it truly impossible IMO
right but it's still technically feasible
we get around healing with stubborn defiance rightnow
with perfect play, I'm not sure max heat is possible with perfect play just because you spend so much time dodging everything that time runs out
I think 61/62 is possible with EM4 TD3 RI3 AP2 on like 2 weapons
i don't think anything else is possible
TAS hades when?
What weapon though? Is there a specific weapon that's better for this job?
rama
zag sword baby /meme
sorry
lol i just didn't want the guy to become a zag sword main
thinking he could go all the way
Rama huh didn't like it first time but I can see why it's good I just need to get used to heavy atks from secret aspects
rama is incredibly self-sufficient
rama is basically like the standard bow with 2 hammers on it already
aspect of arthur is great until you turn on FO2
or damage control
^that too
altho people thought DC was impossible on beo
its not GREAT
i really hate it
but its doable
arthur could probably take DC1 fine
I even got atk speed from hermes it was still slow
BRO I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO TURN ON PAST BROADCASTS LEAVE ME ALONE
my life in shambles 
today should be recorded though
Oh 1 more thing like pls tell me I'm not dumb am in the only one who finds theseus and asterius with heat easier?
people say that all the time
i don't understand it
a lot of people think that
asterios is so brutal at EM3
they become pretty awful with modifiers
at base i think theyre pretty indistinguishable from non EM3
HS? do his little bombs count as traps lol
yes they do
learn something new everyday
me losing my DD to the last of theseus bombs hitting me with 100 dmg for patty heal is very common
*SD
I'll tell you why
yeahh i thought they just did 50 base lmao
More importantly theseus is more of a pushover without it
Plus asterius's bayblade move leaves him wide open
Especially for range builds
when HL5 asterius charges you for 73 (74?) damage at mach 5 speed
Though theseus can sometimes be unreadable
73? did you have bouldy's blessing ๐
i dont remember numbers
the korean player submitted an eris run that is probably unseeded but he only showed zag getting out of the pool rather than him dying so hard to say for sure
where's the link
50 heat eris
it's on the seeded 1.37 leaderboard now
basically looks like schad's setup
its unseeded
this is how we find out @rain sedge is the korean nemesis sword player
very sad but i think it's verifiers discretion at that point
good lord lol
you know what would be a cool pact
certain number of trap kills a biome or lose some max hp
Losing hp when whiffing
i just like pacts that arent....play garbage
EM4 is a really cool pact
it is! its not a normal punishment. Its a way to encourage players to adapt to something and reward understanding of the game and your aspect. EM4 doesn't make it more difficult to get to Hades. It just makes the fight harder. Its something that can be planned around and doesn't actively take any shiny toys in the game away from you. It just forces you to use those shiny toys more effectively
a lot o the pact is about taking things away from you. EM4 is not that (all of the EM is included in this)
I want to get good at that fight tho
I have like had no practice with em4
you play beo and don't do EM4?
bruh
for what heat
YOU TOOK AP FOR 45 ON BEO????
yes and I won
gg buddy
what does ap stand for
CF2 AP1 for beo.
the one where you remove a boon at each region?
see pinned message
no it crosses out an option
wow
lmao thank u
what
i don't even play CF at 50
cf doesnt matter if you dont use shops
it like wasn't that hard really
๐ค
for me
it took me less than 10 tries
maybe i'm underrating beo's capability to handle AP and CF
maybe I should get into this more
yea i think you could beat me
hmm
if you practice the EM4 fight
idk what I would take instead of CF
51 heat beo strems at some point? maybe
nice
just go high roll AP2 and flex
beo is not an AP2 weapon
get lucky
yeah i did no CF no AP for my 45
One of The problems with AP
CF/AP/RI breaks the barrier of what i find fun in this game, at least on beowulf
ok maybe next time I should show my pact here to make sure it doesn't suck
i've had deadly strike crossed out 4 times in a row on achilles
@mossy zinc you were right as soon as i turned on recording my runs got cursed
we're never getting a 40+ achilles recording lmao
I think this channel is starting to come around to the idea that we might have underrated the effect of CF
like underrated how difficult it is?
To be clear wobbles was the one who turned us onto it
Yes
Gold is actually so good at getting you out of tartarus
and getting your build online for elysium
it doesn't matter in asphodel or styx all that much
I feel like CF and RI1 might kind of trade off with each other?
nah some weapons don't mind RI at all
no CF lets you buy more boons
no RI1 lets you reroll early and get more gold laurel rooms
dark foresight hurts a little bit but just buy boons
right i'm saying that it's a direct trade off almost
more boons is a better way to get the ones you want than rerolling boons thoguh
exactly
and even with dark foresight i feel like you don't get many boon rooms, so buying is def better for more
when you have 200 HP leaving tartarus ๐ฅด
Where is the 63/64 heat run posted? The highest I see on the spreadsheet is 57
it's posted in our dreams
ok nvm guess i misread the message lol
isnโt 60 the max?
lol that's a good discord nickname
63/64 for normal/hell mode
i see, ty
oh i see the person was saying those were the highest you could go
shoutout to baj
baj is currently practicing for a 62 heat run with everything but RI4 on
i believe
i had a 55 heat run at some point but i lost it when i changed my pc :((
you guys are making me wanna take on 60 heat
why do people need to show their last death in the videos?
otherwise you could keep giving up to try the seed over and over
is there even a way to keep the seed consistent? i thought the smallest things could mess with it
starting seed is huge
that's a lot of work
also is high confidence what most people take over thick skin?
lmao no
high confidence won't be online most of the time
so everyone runs thick skin
ok i guess baj is just a god gamer then
i guess you could turn on HC for RI practice
high confidence is a speedrunning thing mostly
HC is fine until you need to turn on FO2
45?
'core' boons?
yee
what does that mean
attack/special/cast/dash
call as well
The reason for only 50 HP is the RI pact
oh i see, so it's not that they have hc on, it's that they have their mirror off
got it
yeah baj plays with RI3
i've thought about doing a mirrorless or boonless beo run just to do it
but it seems so awful
like i'm just playing generic shield
ive done boonless
mirrorless sounds hard
boonless 32 was not too bad
100dmg per cast is sort of beefy
probs gonna do high heat hestia next
ah yes, playing high heat with sword, my favourite activity
you've found me out, oh noooo
because I totally would love to press special every 4s and reroll everytime I don't get double edge at 50 heat
priority boons: Attack, Special, Cast, Dash
core boons: ^ those four + Call
What if you get Cursed Slash, though?
Yeah, actually. Good idea. 
why doesnt everyone just start with GY
it has been 3 runs since i was offered deadly strike first boon
I've been asking myself the same question.
Casual players don't imagine that. Casual players do 4 Heat sword runs with Tempest Strike. 
Outed yourself again as a fake casual.
id actually be more impressed by a tempest strike only run than by a boonless run
what heat?
62
if i ever decided to get back to high heat soaker....
hestia seems fun I have rarely used it, althought not as rarely as zeus shield
hestia is fun and a good high heat weapon
It's fun, but it's also very repetitive.
hestia is fun
@gaunt fiber do you mind weirdchamping this post my friend?
lol i also agree with nyaanyaa that grinding hestia is a lot less fun
hestia is a good "i just want to win a run" weapon
Thank you friend
pleasure is mine
rails other than eris exists?
I should try to clear hestia at 32 heat
just to see """fun"""
how good is spread fire zag actually lol
so you're gonna laugh
im about to clear achilles again
but i just realized my recordings scuffed
LOL
did he use arty attack @gaunt fiber
lightning strike
its not too bad

option selects for regular scuffed eris if you dont get SF
oh maybe I'm just thinking of spread on eris being bad
lightning strike is far from optimal with spread fire
but spread fire and lightning strike are both very good on their own so it doesn't matter
s o
apparently if asterius charges you, and you put it to his 20% threshold, he STILL charges you until it finishes
and it can kill you ๐
yes
boss phasing doesnt remove their hitboxes i dont think
he's done that when i hit him mid leap too
Bruh.
when hades does his wave thing across the ground and you nova you should jump over it
I hope it was asterius and not theseus who got you
bEt
hot take
Theseus would just be so smug if you died to him
hot take: 53 is higher than 52
this is actually true depending on pacts
I ain't saying random stuff you know
Hurray.
Yeah, it's all pseudorandom.
virgin cast build poseidon aspect vs chad melee poseidon aspect using slicing shot to get rid of damage control
Lmao
when will we get routed Astaos
What result do you expect?
things that make sense
isnt the optimization here: "this might be off-topic but <insert bot statement here>"
Right in the kokoro
But what's a bot statement?
"this might be off-topic but what's a bot statement?"
Oof
Easy heat 16 tips?
Uh... like pact config? Or what
Pact config yeah, i wanna kinda just breeze through it
If you have not done a 16 before you should not expect to
no TD3
Yeah
other than that kinda just think about what your weapon is good at?
I know one of you nerds have RI4 EM4 16
Can you link it
I think all of the troll screenshots are for 32
Actually ri4 em4 is more than 16
Ah yea that'd do it
