My damage felt really bad for aome reason
Skull Earring is an interesting keep sake to see
its damage
its pretty good with stubborn defiance
Yea. I think it should be slightly better than it is... but I get it
there are very few keepsakes in this game that increase damage (unfortunately)
I dunno, maybe like 45-50% when it's up? ... since you have to kind of always be damaged for it to be a thing
What is its % again? 20-25-30?
skull earring is 40% dmg
Ah. And yeah, it's nice they fixed it to work at the stubborn defiance threshhold
yeah i like that a lot
I haven't messed with it enough to get a feel for it though
is that global dmg
yes
nice
yeah its pretty solid
aaaaah, have to sell my jolted to escape tartarus 
... Charon ends all my SD runs if I get him early haha
I guess I shouldn't try him
but he's so tantalizing
omfg
I just killed Asterius as he started his charge, his shield went up... and then he chased me around a bit and killed me
WHAT!?
yeah if you kill asterius during a charge he finishes it before the fight ends
kinda annoying
i've been killed that way recently lol
4-sack’ed again
Heck
Had enough damage for a 3-sack even
Game said nope, your precious sack is in another castle
so im new to hades lol and idk how to beat the first boss
||i've gotten to meg like 5 times and got closer and closer each time but idk so i was wondering if anyone has a strat that works cuz mine is just spamming spacebar w aphrodites boon and left clicking LMAO||
Hey there, happy to help. Though this is a better question for #h1-for-new-players. People discuss late game contents here almost exclusively so there will surely be spoilers and the advice here might not be entirely applicable to new players.
ohh ok ty lol
ok 47 heat mirrorless is looking a bit too hard lmao
might try to just tone it down or quit with my 40 heat
nvm got decently far
More failed attempts due to timeouts
Game's teasing me hard
https://gyazo.com/c413f39ca3e5b251ffd0502dcb81ba1e Also this happened
god yeah that blows
Guess I gotta keep the grind until I get a decent room RNG
And that I still live the process
Feels like at this rate, Tailesque or Retrash will get 61 heat before I get my 59 lol
like wildly unsuccessful
got jolted once and threw very hard by not dying chamber 12 with 3 HP
^ Happened to me a few times as well
"Eh, I'll be fine"
Linker Speeder Waveraisers spawn
yeah that's kind of how i feel
also new breakthrough flood flare beowulf? very exciting
ive been doing some anyheat with it but it seems like a good solution to DC hearts
whats that about flood flare beowulf?
splash good
understandable
TY
Early Mirage Shot also good
thats true
any vids of some1 using it?
Haven't seen one yet
i have some anyheat vods on my channel
not sure if those are of any interest to a high heat player but it's a fun build
you basically just go for mirage shot and sea storm instead of mirage shot and scint feast
i like watching any heat
not too much interest in playing it myself tho
is ur channel bright01?
indeed
let me know if you want to find the flood flare timestamps so you dont have to comb through 7 hours of random crap
ah i meant on twitch lol
searching bright01 got ur channel up since u have that in ur description
well it worked out lmao
but yeah long story short splash good
high heat.jpg
also this is 3% chance of happening lol
GL baj :3
I frickin' died that run lol
I mean, you got this, no?
you're being more consistent, so are we saying now that as long as you get patty and 2 sac you're good to go?
Already have one
Doubts are still rising
For now I'm just chilling
Chilling is part of training
is armored mob room (skull, but not the miniboss) faster than normal enemy room ?
i think i used arthur for my 32 heat sword run
just slapped aphro attack and went to town with health and damage resists lol
arthur 32 with damage reduction strat is.... kinda free?
but poseidon is probably the easiest one
just do something like flood shot into mirage shot and exit wounds
i like arthur because seeing big health number makes me happy
give me a sec to pull it back up
agree on poseidon, play sword without playing sword
Crush or flood tho
Oh that worked?
no, flood shot definitely for poseidon
the difference is that for zeus cast, it doesn't lodge on enemies most of the time
ohhhh i got smoldering air
and that's good for achilles
that mightve been it
but with poseidon cast, it lodge in enemy - and poseidon sword you can dislodge with special
and with exit wounds that's a lot of DPS increase
zeus is still rly nice for clearing out rooms quickly but yeah it doesnt quite compare to poseidon cast
on poseidon
poseidon has aoe too
anyw if u still want to know the heat setup
i had uh
HL1, LC4, EM3, BP2, MM, UC, FO2, TD3
so poseidon cast -> artemis core to proc mirage shot -> exit wounds -> fully loaded
and you're good to go
and more chaos boons
it's pretty easy
fish for greater recall from hermes if you want but that's not necessary
I don't like TD3
nah that's as good as it gets, maybe FO1 HL4 but that's good
TD3 is indeed rough
AP1?
ehhh
i wouldnt do ap1 for 32 heat
id rather just like
up the hard labor
or a CF
i didnt do any CF that run, so u can p easily drop one in there
Lc4 is a pain too
and then maybe 2 in HL and call it a day
idk i feel like its either LC0 or LC4 lmao
i dont ever use 1-3
Mm
if you want to use regular DDs instead of SDs you still can at 32 heat but its not going to be easy
i personally found it easier to just start going full LC and using stubborn
hades3234 uses golden touch 
golden touch CF maxed?
I can see why then
Could work
But I'd rather go for early boons than pure gold value
not that it matters at 32 anyway
he watches our vods lol
Not surprising, you're a talented streamer
I never use irony for compliments, would be too cruel
Except for Nyaanyaa sometimes
She deserves it
oh god it’s already 6am here
ok so you're -9
LOL
pain
Night boyos
Night
well i finally got 32 heat, but i caved and cheated a bit and redid the hades fight a couple of times until i got it. at least i have that statue now, im definitely not going to go any higher than that in the future, way too stressful
nice job! congrats
nice job alma!
with a bit of messing around with saves on pc you can, im assuming its how people practice certain fights
also yeah, it was good luck with hermes and eurydice. that and the dodge chance from the fists helped a lot

For known reasons 👼
Yeah, we put our temp save from a fight into the permanent save slot of any profile. Then just hit Give Up to redo the fight on win or loss.
FINALLY fufilled the last of the pact!
And now that I've claimed my reward from that prophecy, I can do whatever I want now.
I absolutely hate Routine Inspection. x.x
I used RI1 and got a W with Guan Yu
Your path is the right one
I think I've found my calling with that spear, tbh
You should try something like this.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/725021639506526249/787460139220336680/Hades_1240.png?width=772&height=434
god, thats like the diogenes challenge but more sadistic
I want to see a Serrated Point tempest strike second wave meme
that sounds glorious
It's pretty funny to have Tempest Flourish on Demeter...
Hades flies like an inch on the 5 hit
Ugh choked on 32 Nem at Hades. Somehow I find Nem a lot easier than Arthur, where I just get rekt mid-swing by a whole bunch of stuff
arthur suddenly becomes super hard at higher heats imo, esp when you start adding forced overtime
is... is that... tempest strike GY with LC4 RI4, and only spin hammers?
this might be your best creation yet
It is. 
have you tried the hardest 32 pact setup yet nya?
I forgot what it is exactly, but I think it's LC4 RI4 EM4 with some FO there
I don't like or really want to do EM4.
I can think of a hundred other things in the game that are more fun.
but think of the trolling payout!
Like RI4 50 Heat maybe. That's more fun.
tbh I'd also pay good money to see that
I'll do it for good money. If I don't have to win. Lol
Fwiw regarding flood flare beo I'm certain its the correct way to play beo at high heat. I've had some very close attempts at 56 with the build. I havent really sat down to grind it out but I'm off the next 2 weeks amd thats going to be my goal
Its also very hard to play. Its definitely the
beo. I'd try it out at any, 32, and 40 to get the hang of it
At 56??
Don't flood flare just pushes enemy away before the subsequent casts hit?
Are you just fishing for rupture, wave pounding, and mirage shot?
Yea thats the general build. Snow burst and seaastorm good too. And the follow up flares normally hit the knockback is pretty low on flood flate
*flare
I was zooming at 52 heat but while doing it I realized I could put the beo throne pretty far out of reach with RI2
Honestly the biggest loss is dark foresight in consistency but.....the thing about RI1 is
just roll it anyways 4Head
Damn, everyone is pushing heat
I was trying 56 Eris but I think kbm become mandatory at that heat
Very close to buying the pc version, it's £10 off
just do it
to be clear....dio beo is still faster. you just have way less attempts to make it out of tartarus
you also need less boons so AP1, UC, and CF2 hurt you way less
i'm terrified that if bright ever gets on the heat beo throne grind he'll beat me.
Completed my first 32 heat run today, felt good! rama aspect with zeus on special, I know it's a bit broken but whatever
Cool job!
Don't think it's broken, IIRC there's an internal cooldown on the Zeus special hit so you can only hit the bolt once per special?
Rama isn't the easiest on 32
Thanks! I also heard about the cooldown. It's comfy because it shoots very fast, hit several enemies. I tried with the railgun and the gloves, but it was too hard. I guess it also depends on the PP chosen? I wanted to avoid the damage increase one, so I had to take TD2, DC2, BP2. DC2 combined with BP2 is a terrible matchup against Hestia! I learnt it the hard way. Not so much against bosses, but against armored mobs it was terrible
there is a "2"
thanks!
Idk what that numbers refers to
And a Hades Aspect almost sub 12 but Tiny Vermin and 4-sack into just throw the run getting hit by every spin because who cares anymore. 

I understand the pain lol. The run before my winning 32 heat, I had a 5 room sack, so I reached hades with 55 seconds left. Didn't go well at all
Eh it's okay, it's my own fault for being so slow in the first place. 4 sack sub 12 should be doable.
@daring hedge right?
don't be mean, it's not even top 5 free-est weapons at 32
we have a dedicated meanness-punching-bag and golgoth is not it
what’s freest 32, eris zeus + all fist (except gilg)?
the ceiling on rama is higher
but in terms of execution
its def eris
rama is a hard weapon
and hammer reliant
baj shield is the easiest 32 imo
take ap1 take thunder flourish start and don’t die
works with lv1
baj shield hard to play tho
pogbuild
3 GY 40 in a row
Charged skewer was definitely not the hammer I was looking for
nice!
baj says his least favorite hammer is dashing wallop but i actually take it often so clearly I don't know how to baj shield
bp2 dracons are top 5 most hated enemy
astaos resqtoaster on an interesting GY run with icewine
I lost a few times with Poseidon so I switched to Achilles 32,first try
It's funny all my 32 runs I did first try with the weapon, but sword eludes me
Guess I'll try some stupid tidal dash Smoldering build maybe that'll work
that + second wind usually does the trick for me
excuse me, I came back to this heresy
are you saying that for 32, rama is easier than eris? or better? or faster?
because you'd be wrong, and I can even race tail the rama god on a 32 and be super confident I'll win given the same sac number

how do you build rama
do you have a "fight me" emote for me astaos?
well, I'd put on my catgirl suit to fight nya on this for the sake of even footing then
wow
rama only really starts to pull ahead once you start being forced to add pacts that take things away from you
but you don't have to do that at 32
easiest 32s for me was eris, chiron, talos, demeter, zag fist, poseidon, achilles, all 4 shields, then rama
where is GY I can't see it
real talk GY with charged skewere might even be easier than rama
ngl i think youre underestimating how speedy fox man is
he just says "i'm not a speedrunner" like he didnt hit 12 mins on 50 heat LOL
rama doesnt feel like a fast weapon to me but some people make it work
for speed its hammer reliant
which is why a lot of people don't like it
its super self-sufficient which is why its amazing at high heat
but when it comes to speed....other weapons just scale better with boons and such
whoa whoa, I didn't see that 12 mins on 50 heat
let me speedrun 32 eris real quick and see how quick it is, just checking
I expect 10 minutes but we'll see
if you get 10 mins first try you should 100% go after my record lmfao
actually.... now that I looked at the leaderboard
tail had the pre-cleared 32 heat record at 8.38
eris can go faster than rama
faster than my any heat eris record btw
but no one grinds 32 heat
pog
to try to generate interest on the board
skull earring for speed right?
fair
i think shields can run HC
you can also check well for good eris items
and look at hourglass
bablo tooth isn't bad either. rooms are actually dangerous with HL5 BP
skull earring + high confidence works if you use level 1 guan yu and get a -hp chaos curse
? aren't they both percentage based?
yeah but if your max hp is 1
you won't get the bonus from earring?
earring rounds up to nearest whole hp now
I'm pretty sure that wasnt fixed
remember the first iteration of test branch where it was still broken?
oh does it? i thought they just upped the percentage
oh you right
that's why they put it to 35%
it is still broken nvm
10:08
not sub 10 but pretty close @true fable
got dreadful hammers, subpar boons and no thanatos. just 1 story room and 1 chaos
10:08 is my record 
#JustErisThings
as I said, easiest weapon at 32
i mean i agreed with you
with tidal dash it'll be way faster
that would put me third on the 32 heat board
hmmmm
with enough grind I could easily do 2nd I think
Hestia > Eris.

Guan Yu mirrorless > Eris.
Guan Yi mirrorless can lifesteal. Can Eris lifesteal? No. Checkmate.
Baj Shield > Eris.
I like the name Baj Shield. It's very on point.
I wonder if newcomers to the channel can distinguish the real advice from the trolling
thats why i try to make it very obvious when i'm not giving trolly advice
@gaunt fiber evidently couldn't.
sometimes I feel bad for astaos to get pinged just to be bullied
but then
I realise he's astaos 🤣
That's mean.
The spin attack of Guan Yu is very satisfying
Hey, it cleared 32 mirrorless. But you're right, at first I did not know it would interact this way. And when you told me, I had to try 
What have I done to you? 
Until you're greedy
Pretty sure you do actually
I saw somebody farm a lot of gold from Meg but it made Tartarus take forever
tis confirmed worst fury
Wait what, when did this become a thing
if you're good at something it gets named after you for honor
especially if no one else plays it
it's just friendly ribbing ❤️
companion rib?


@honest kernel I dunno, I saw somebody in this channel call it Baj Shield earlier and thought it was funny.
what aspect?
im trying beowulf
I think I just need practice, it’s the weapon I’ve played with least, by far
mmk no worries. if you need some help lmk
all weapons are alien to me
13/24 aspects sub 12. 
nice! over halfway!
🔫
snitches get stitches bright
🙈
I, too, m very happy that I got that aspect over with after bad RNG three runs in a row. 
how useful was electric shot?
Very. I did Dash-Strike x2 > Electric Shot a lot. Eventually ended up starting with the casts because they were doing more damage.
nice. was concerned that Electric Shot would fall off later but i guess Splitting Bolt helped
Yeah, definitely.
electric shot for room clear is always good
did I miss a stream
Nope.
you should do a bright and do 40x24 after this
I, on the other hand, is too much of a casual to do 40 with some of these cursed aspects
imagine 40 with zag spear yikes
lol
40 for GY was pretty free for me, I simply did the trick where you roll charged skewer
and press special for 20 mins, done
I mean "free" in a sense that it's nowhere near as painful as the sword/shield
special double dash strike
until game is done
or you die
prolly highroll ME if you don't wanna bother and just clear
retrash has done it at what, 53? 54?
bruh
and he basically played with random boons
absolute madlad
im prob gonna stick with doing every aspect at 32 heat, 40 seems a tad much
for me
oh it's a 54, here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZfiEzQhHT0
it's not exactly "random", but nothing broken either
40 is like 32 but harder
- Astaos, Warrior-Poet of Infinite Wisdom
Yeah sometimes I'd rather say nothing
i know we are meme'ing
but he's kinda right
the difference between 32 and 40 is not that huge on most aspects (cough arthur) so its really more just a difficult 32 instead of a completely different game
the game changes once you start to go past 40
listen to this wise guy
excuse you
for casuals like me it's a different game ok?
32 sword/shield? it's free real estate
40 sword/shield? I still remember the tears of blood I cried while doing that
50 on eris is like, 32 heat on other weapons
Yeah, sometimes I'd rather you say nothing. 
I'll remember

^i agree with bright
yup. 32 to 40 is just taking HL5 LC4 and get used to high damage and SD combo
40 - 50 means some, if not most of RI, AP, DC, JS, CP are involved.
40 is just 0 Heat but with pacts.
yea the game fundamentally changes from 40-50
I'm not the only one
words of wisdom
there are aspects that struggle even at 40, but its still a reasonable leap most of the time
which ones you think?
arthur is the most notable
yeah
Yea, was gonna say Arthur is a struggle in certain pacts
i think GY is a struggle but i suck at the weapon
It's so annoying chasing chariot theseus down on Arthur
Just take RI at 40 for Excalibur.
gilga at 40 sucks
i think im caving and using a TD2 pact for 50 heat chaos
what other aspect legitimately runs RI3 as its staple at 40
what... I love Gilga 
Gilga kind of starts to feel terrible once you turn on DC though
splash dash and profit
Guan Yu meta at 40 is RI4, m very sure.
^
You don't need DDs if you don't get hit.
i mean yall know more about the weapon than me
if you don't play perfectly, you've made mistakes
i'm just not sure 2 heat is worth not having DDs
achilles at 40 with athena start is probably what i would suggest
apparently take GY and run RI4 for 8 free heat
#hades-high-heat-trolling
yea saame
I've been trying DDs on GY really
every time I fail my tartarus
And I can no hit with SD
But yea I like Achilles with phalanx shot into divine dash
If you get lightning phalanx its cool
I like Flurry Jab on Achilles.
I don't like not seeing Flurry Jab on Achilles because then I have to, like, think more.
^flurry jab v good particularly with arti attack
Amir DMs.
flurry jab GY would rule
Yeah if Zag stops jumping on third hit
You sure about that
You would lose the spin, so it's not gonna happen.
You can get delta chamber on hestia tho
Delta chamber does not make you lose anything gameplay wise
yeah you can
So we change Winged Serpent in Serpent Fury, which is flurry jab but you don't lose the spin
While I understand wanting flurry jab the last thing we need is another spear that depends on flurry jab at high heat
im happy to reset for GY flurry jab 🙂
keep trying it will work
Yeah I watched some of them
The intentional part was not that clear to me
But I could be mistaken
you can tell because i say "i think i'm dead here" before most of them
that signals to the viewer that i am prepared and willing to die
nah you know who's talented
hades3234
i was watching him yesterday
and he google translated each of my messages to korean
that's dedication right there
You know
freal though i think ima use his pact for my chaos shield clear
I translate your messages to korean too
lol i felt so bad
yo i didn't know he streamed
EM4 TD3 is actually a nightmare https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/599449585710006288/790390696326070272/unknown.png
survived 35 secs in overtime
Is there some kind of consensus on Olympian Favour Vs Dark Foresight? I just switched back to Olympian Favour and it feels awful. Feels like I'm getting half as many boon rooms.
the consensus is turn on dark foresight and never turn it off
sorry retrash 😦 i know you've been grinding that fight pretty hard
feeling the same pain retrash https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/654076105321480226/790394672903749632/20201220193543_1.jpg
a better second hammer and patty actually showing up could've maybe pulled this through
59 
still no idea if JS2+CP2 or JS3+CP1 is better
they feel about the same throughout these attempts
How consistently can you get to Hades with JS3 CP1 vs JS2 CP2?
If it's the same, then JS3 CP1 is easier.
good point, though it's still hard to tell because it seems like i get to hades with slightly less time for the fight with JS3 CP1, but JS2 CP2 makes his own fight a ton harder if i don't have ideal hammers
which, with AP2, i do not ever have ideal hammers
Yeah, I think even with slightly less time, you'll finish the fight faster with CP1, no?
tbh those boons are pretty damn good for an AP2 run
would RI3 ever be worth to take out a point in jury and cp? tho em4 with one dash sounds like pure hell
yeah it's mainly that EM4 with potentially one dash is definitely pure hell
you'd be resetting for hermes dashes or maybe squeaking by with hyper sprint
just too dangerous
I'll take EM4 once I can do Maxy consistently with one dash.
And I don't know if that's ever gonna happen lol.
hoping for hermes dashes + good hammers on AP2 seems like a maddening experience
Maxy?
smh newbies don't know who Maxy is.
😔
absolutely, i already nearly lost it last night just from the hammers
it's extremely draining
yeah I don’t know how u even got to hades with bad hammers, my Rama runs kinda rely on a good hammer to get far
Maxy is Hades but with maxed-out pacts that affect the fight.
i've literally never heard the name
if it's any consolation hades3234 says you're a god gamer and thinks you can do it
different words
but the meanings there
You never heard the name because no one's grinding Maxy since 1.0.
Because EM4 is a thing now.
Well, it's EM4 now.
ah
right
amir help, patty left my hell mode file and never came back
He's actually hanging out with Amir now.
There is no escape...
It's because you don't use Antos anymore.
excuse me but maybe i would if patty would show up to progress their storyline to the point of me unlocking it in hell mode
LOL
i have been 
repulse shot is a good hammer everyone
I actually think it's good.
how do you have so much time
It's a lot easier to do Power Shots.
it's just a damage loss at high heat compared to other hammers
i have no idea
But you need another hammer that does damage.
i didn't even get patty
tailesque the god
Yeah, pretty much. But I think Twin Shot or Perfect Shot with Repulse Shot is really good.
should i risk anvil to potentially trade in repulse for something else
probably not right
i could get explosive or it could ditch perfect shot
Rama is broken.
Tailesque is also broken.
2x broken = infinity.
i think anvil. this dad fight is still gonna be tight
and repulse hammer does a fat lot of nothing
Or maybe it's broken^2, I don't know how that works.
if this anvil goes south i'm blaming tyler
i'll accept it
I wouldn't risk it.
Repulse Shot might be nice for adds?
the minibosses?
But you definitely still want Perfect Shot.
it's alright for styx mini chambers
and yeah, if i lose perfect shot it's game over unless it gives me twin or triple
So don't high roll.
nyaanyaa thats not the definition of a high roll
Go for consistency and do your best.
50-50 to throw your run is stupid.
it depends on if you think the run is winnable in its current state or not
He can do it.
sure i think he can too
You heard it here first folks.
but does hades3234 think he can
but its about expected value
the answer is yes
lmao
is it sniper explosive
Explosive shot for sure
more hammers gud
wait how'd you lose a third hammer
@sly remnant I know what expected value is lol.
it's basically triple shot but shotgunning doesn't work
but it's not awful is it?
ah
Triple better than perfect?
Oh rip
why does shotgunning not work with chain triple
something to do with how the shots don't pierce anymore
so the side shots easily just skate outside your target
even point blank
Well that's a tease if I ever see one
Good luck
Make it without Twin or Triple
And ascend
and the expected value on losing one useless or one good hammer for 3 differently good options (triple, twin, or point blank) and possibly one bad option means that anvil'ing is a +EV play. thus. not a high roll
^ this is a weird ... semantic thing
When you have the possibility of getting a -EV hammer... that actually disrupts your gameplay... you can still see how the term "high roll" can be apt, yes?
Since you're high rolling out of the possibilities of hammers
a play cannot literally be + and - EV
theres no such thing as a "-EV" hammer
it is either +EV or - EV
Sure. A theoretical EV can be positive... but you can still RNG into a hammer like Explosive Shot...
Wouldn't high rolling just go for low percent play? Like 1% to get 1000000000 points vs 90% to get 100. While the 1% has higher expected value, it's the high roll choice?
Or the hammers people would consider negative value
^exactly
foxhope hit it on the head
and the hammer anvil favored anvil'ing
it didn't work out
which sucks
but that doesn't make it the incorrect play
Wll... that's why there's a distinction between theoretical EV and actual value
uh. no there isn't
uuuuuuuh.
It's a high roll because you gamble a perfectly fine hammer for a chance to either get something better or throw your run. Throwing in variance that late when you have a good hammer is not a smart play.
If you disagree with this one... that's a fundamental and foundational difference that effectively cannot be resolved
In his assumption was that you have bad hammers when you hit the anvil, I think
Maybe I misread?
but your good options outweighed the bad options
One good or one useless
he had 3 good options and one bad option.
He had 1 useless hammer and 1 good hammer
that is by definition....not a high roll. it is _EV
+EV
I think rerolling is a fine choice tbh. EV asides.
"Expected value" is a purely theoretical a priori thing though...
Actual value... will never align with the EV until you're doing the absurd experiment via law of large numbers
The average is not gonna win you the game. You either get something or you lose everything. The hammers he had were good enough, he gambled.
IE: You're rerolling your hammer thousands of times
It's like you just look at EV and ignore the fact that he didn't need to gamble in the first place.
Getting through EM4 on Perfect Shot only sounds horrendous
^
But there's a reason new game theories try to apply risk aversion
you are being results-oriented.
Of course?
it's ultimately different philosophies that clash
yall arent gonna find a "correct" choice
because there isn't one
results-oriented is a fallacy in game theory
The results are pre-determined
Disagree
I don't think post hoc is necessarily fallacious
I mean every basic game theory course disagrees with you
I really don't care about game theory lol.
you should
playing not to lose is not playing to win
if a play is +EV it is the correct play
regardless of the results
If any of you ever end up playing a CCG you can look forward to having this conversation ad nauseum
LOL
The goal here is to figure out if doing something that lost you a run was the right decision anyway
6:44 PM] tylerhk93: playing not to lose is not playing to win thing is... you have to be in a near guaranteed position to lose for this type of rationale to be applicable
Nyaa thinks that Tail is good enough to win with Perfect Shot so no reroll
Tyler and I think that Perfect Shot might not be enough so reroll.
End of story.
Quite often you can lose a run and make the same decision the next time you're in that spot
If you're going to win the run with no extra hammers, why incur the risk?
was he going to win the run?
well if you're going to win the run either way why dont we just say he did 59 heat LOL
The "Anvil is +EV" argument should apply in all situations then, right?
he has to do it
Well too late for that hypothesis on Perfect Shot now
The scenario implies a lack of a guaranteed outcome
that depends on how badly you think your lose condition is present. considering LITERALLY NO ONE has done 59 heat i imagine that his lose condition is very present
i dont think you can put a % chance on whether someone will win something inherently moment to moment performance based
That depends on how good your current hammer is.
It's very hard in a game like hades where execution matters a lot and there are a ton of variables second to second
^
But the question is, am I more likely to win this run by taking the anvil or not, which implies winning this run is not 100%
What you get after doesn't change the decision before when you're unaware of the outcome
Well, we agree... Tyler does not seem to agree with this
perfect shot being inferior to twin, triple, and point blank isn't really a discussion
4 ingame minutes = 20 of pausing
I'm probably more risk averse. If I have one good hammer, that I need to win, I'm not going to risk it.
If I think that I cannot win without specific hammers, then of course, I'll try to high roll
Lmao true
And contextually, it's (imo) correct to call it a high roll. If you're in a losing situation and you only have some low odds% to win
If expected value is positive, that means the average outcome is a benefit
The highroll would be the outlier peak benefit
That value's gonna change based on the current guaranteed config you have and your likelihood to win with it
Sometimes anvil is a terrible idea, sometimes you need it, sometimes it's take-it-or-leave-it
Haha, that's interesting. I don't want to delve too much into this EV debate. But I am pretty risk averse myself, I would reroll. Because I don't want to face Hades with a sub-optimal build. That's risky to me.
Speaking as someone who is absolutely not a 59 heat runner, I have no idea if perfect shot is enough by itself to claim the victory, but I would want every edge I could get and would probs consider the anvil there
Oh, I guess honestly, in actuality...
Because I'm not opposed to seeding (currently am playing seeded 59), I would abuse the seed rng to see what the hammers are
Haven't charted it out or anything
But that's kind of a different argument/discussion
getting power shots on EM4 hades is not easy. i think more immediate damage is better which is why i think anvil'ing is correct
Well sure, deterministic outcomes vs theoretical ones aren't gonna be the same
If you can see the future you can make very specific decisions
TAIL, what's the result bud
Before you take an anvil everyone is a theorist
he didn't say anything so probably not good
Are you back from your smoke break?
it would be wild to make 58 2 days ago and 59 today
That is, to say, you use the a priori principle of the law of large numbers to make decisions...
I don't think this is best practice... but best practice is effectively impossible because a human cannot monitor / disrupt the RNG without a tool assist
So it reduces into whether you actually believe there is chance/probability or not. And I don't
You... don't believe there is probability?
No
lmfao
But but probability is taking into account the fact that you cannot determine the RNG
It's a useful tool/heuristic when you cannot predict the future though... (or know initial conditions)
anyhow, I think this convo is going nowhere because yall have not enough data.
no but we still make deductions based on our current understanding
thats not incorrect
yes and no. sometimes the best is not enough.
If anyone ever wants to talk about Monty Hall just @ me
we don't know what tail skill cap is
We'll go for a while
we can't put a concrete number on hammers
of course we can't
Monty Hall is 1/2
bayesian probability updates with new knowledge/information
don't @ me
thats true in any game
I changed my mind I don't want to talk about Monty Hall
also why do we have people talking about EV in this channel lol
how about newcombe's then? 
what do yall do?
just curios because I'm doing a stats grad program
and didn't expect to see stats here
My other gaming life is deep in the collectible card game world
Prob and stats are a way of life for us
i was explaining my reasoning for anvil'ing and why i did not classify it as a high roll but instead as the correct play
neetlife for me
... but I was doing mostly sciences before dropout
med school is rad dude. good luck!
You can do it! You're a bright fella
lol skill cap.
heat 40+ med school speedrun any%
med school speedrun sounds... dangerous?
Wait after med school do you have to call them hyperthermic runs
i think hades3234 is korean
58
lol he's speaks korean on stream so i think it's reasonable to assume
it takes a while
have you done spear 32?
i see
spear is hard
why is spear hard
reduces winrate of your masters degree
im just curious i havent played at high heat yet
i’ll infect you with the stupid
i already have it, we good
very low base damage and a lot of the same downside as melee weapons (not as safe)
that makes sense yeah
its got longer range for sure than sword and fists at least
And the hammers are more situational
the hammers are in general complete garbage
spear's range and "spin" get a lot harder to use when enemies move and attack 40% faster
i mean flurry jab is a great hammer
Quick spin should be automatic on Guan Yu
How am I supposed to spam my healing move otherwise?
most spear aspects are just flurry jab aspects at 45+
I think spear is really good for high heat. 
if you get flurry jab it is
It's not bow or rail.
my issue with spear at high heat is how hammer dependent it is
spear is great in seeded
Looking at Retrash and Tailesque's attempts, glad I'm not the only one with timeout issues lol
Thought it was my weapon for a second that couldn't do it
what if the play is drop AP2 for JS3 CP2 RI3 AP1
One dash with spear ? Could work, if you are good enough at bosses
lol i meant for the 58/59 attempts
Oh
please tell me sacks aren't seeded... I've only been getting 3 sacks 😬
which won't cut it for this heat
If they are seeded, there are many, MANY ways to alter the number
Like any room RNG
Source : Practising Styx on the same savefile led to different sack room number
in the hermes cup they always get the same sack number tho
Not quite
right?
One runner could get a 2 sack while the other gets a 3 sack, even on the same seed
in hermes cup its always 3
interesting
now
btw does the hades spear debuff count as a status for priv stat?
no
Nope
only boons
rough
is charged skewer worth it on any spear besides guan yu?
well guess ill try it
Well on Hades spear it might be okay
But otherwise ? Spear special still too laggy
That's why Explosive Launcher is so good
yeah i keep forgetting that other spear weapons dont 1) give you raging rush or 2) be guan yu and not force you to recall it
kinda lame
If I don't have Exploding Launcher, might as well just unmap the button.
so how long before 24x55 becomes the floor of this channel
please no lol
The moment I'm tired of pushing Zeus shield
👀
oh lord
Spicy stuff
Don't know how to get enough damage
like one with double edge chaos
I might just give in for today
