My damage felt really bad for aome reason

spice whale
#

I feel ya

unreal pasture
#

Skull Earring is an interesting keep sake to see

sly remnant
#

its damage

shy gulch
#

its pretty good with stubborn defiance

unreal pasture
#

Yea. I think it should be slightly better than it is... but I get it

sly remnant
#

there are very few keepsakes in this game that increase damage (unfortunately)

unreal pasture
#

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?

north dove
#

skull earring is 40% dmg

shy gulch
#

40% more damage at 35% health or lower

#

i believe

unreal pasture
#

Ah. And yeah, it's nice they fixed it to work at the stubborn defiance threshhold

shy gulch
#

yeah i like that a lot

unreal pasture
#

I haven't messed with it enough to get a feel for it though

dire steppe
#

is that global dmg

shy gulch
#

yes

dire steppe
#

nice

shy gulch
#

yeah its pretty solid

unreal pasture
#

aaaaah, have to sell my jolted to escape tartarus shadegrief

somber leaf
#

... Charon ends all my SD runs if I get him early haha

#

I guess I shouldn't try him

#

but he's so tantalizing

unreal pasture
#

At heroes with 30s on TD with an Athena DD

#

I got trolled by a replace boon again

somber leaf
#

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!?

edgy arrow
#

yeah if you kill asterius during a charge he finishes it before the fight ends

#

kinda annoying

daring hedge
#

i've been killed that way recently lol

honest kernel
#

4-sack’ed again

#

Heck

#

Had enough damage for a 3-sack even

#

Game said nope, your precious sack is in another castle

long bolt
#

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||

tidal flame
long bolt
#

ohh ok ty lol

shy gulch
#

ok 47 heat mirrorless is looking a bit too hard lmao

#

might try to just tone it down or quit with my 40 heat

shy gulch
#

nvm got decently far

honest kernel
#

More failed attempts due to timeouts

#

Game's teasing me hard

shy gulch
#

god yeah that blows

honest kernel
#

Guess I gotta keep the grind until I get a decent room RNG

#

And that I still live the process

true fable
#

oof

#

that sucks

#

i was trying some 50 heat chaos

#

very unsuccessful today

honest kernel
#

Feels like at this rate, Tailesque or Retrash will get 61 heat before I get my 59 lol

true fable
#

like wildly unsuccessful

#

got jolted once and threw very hard by not dying chamber 12 with 3 HP

honest kernel
#

^ Happened to me a few times as well

#

"Eh, I'll be fine"

#

Linker Speeder Waveraisers spawn

true fable
#

narrator: it was not fine

#

i just got beybladed by alecto

#

very sad but it happens

honest kernel
#

yeah

#

I'd play more but a 5 hour session late in the night is plenty for me lmao

true fable
#

yeah that's kind of how i feel

#

also new breakthrough flood flare beowulf? very exciting

honest kernel
#

I heard about that, yeah

#

Actually sounds dope lol

true fable
#

ive been doing some anyheat with it but it seems like a good solution to DC hearts

shy gulch
#

whats that about flood flare beowulf?

true fable
#

splash good

shy gulch
#

understandable

true fable
#

TY

honest kernel
#

Early Mirage Shot also good

shy gulch
#

thats true

honest kernel
#

Wave Pounding and Breaking Wave good

#

Razor Shoals too

shy gulch
#

any vids of some1 using it?

honest kernel
#

Haven't seen one yet

true fable
#

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

shy gulch
#

i like watching any heat

#

not too much interest in playing it myself tho

#

is ur channel bright01?

true fable
#

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

shy gulch
#

i found a vid u have of beowulf anyheat by itself

#

oh on youtube

true fable
#

ah i meant on twitch lol

shy gulch
#

searching bright01 got ur channel up since u have that in ur description

#

well it worked out lmao

true fable
#

but yeah long story short splash good

rain sedge
#

GL baj :3

honest kernel
#

I frickin' died that run lol

rain sedge
#

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?

honest kernel
#

Got that a few times

#

Phase 3 happened

#

And kills me

rain sedge
#

hmmm

#

might benefit from a practice save?

honest kernel
#

Already have one

rain sedge
#

and just practice the dad fight at 59 for a bit?

#

cool2

honest kernel
#

Doubts are still rising

rain sedge
#

sounds to me you'll get it with a few more days tbh

#

this weekend is the one

honest kernel
#

For now I'm just chilling

gaunt fiber
#

Chilling is part of training

rain sedge
#

is armored mob room (skull, but not the miniboss) faster than normal enemy room ?

vital grove
#

Hey tips for a sword 32?

#

Still missing that one

#

Might be my least played weapon

shy gulch
#

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

rain sedge
#

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

shy gulch
#

i like arthur because seeing big health number makes me happy

vital grove
#

What kind of heat did you use

#

I mean setup

#

I assume no Fo?

shy gulch
#

give me a sec to pull it back up

honest kernel
#

agree on poseidon, play sword without playing sword

vital grove
#

That was my Achilles logic

#

Except it's also not shabby as a stab stick

shy gulch
#

oh i actually did end up using poseidon not arthur

#

my memory is bad

vital grove
#

Crush or flood tho

shy gulch
#

neither

#

zeus LOL

vital grove
#

Oh that worked?

rain sedge
#

no, flood shot definitely for poseidon

shy gulch
#

it worked for me

#

i got zeus call too so that helped

rain sedge
#

the difference is that for zeus cast, it doesn't lodge on enemies most of the time

shy gulch
#

ohhhh i got smoldering air

rain sedge
#

and that's good for achilles

shy gulch
#

that mightve been it

rain sedge
#

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

shy gulch
#

zeus is still rly nice for clearing out rooms quickly but yeah it doesnt quite compare to poseidon cast

#

on poseidon

rain sedge
#

poseidon has aoe too

shy gulch
#

anyw if u still want to know the heat setup

#

i had uh

#

HL1, LC4, EM3, BP2, MM, UC, FO2, TD3

rain sedge
#

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

shy gulch
#

that might be harder than it should

#

actually

rain sedge
#

fish for greater recall from hermes if you want but that's not necessary

vital grove
#

I don't like TD3

rain sedge
#

nah that's as good as it gets, maybe FO1 HL4 but that's good

shy gulch
#

TD3 is indeed rough

vital grove
#

AP1?

shy gulch
#

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

vital grove
#

Lc4 is a pain too

shy gulch
#

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

vital grove
#

Mm

shy gulch
#

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

true fable
#

hades3234 uses golden touch thanthink

gaunt fiber
#

golden touch CF maxed?

true fable
#

no

#

i think he's doing some 32 heat runs rn

gaunt fiber
#

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

true fable
#

he watches our vods lol

gaunt fiber
#

Not surprising, you're a talented streamer

clever otter
#

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

gaunt fiber
#

Congratulations!

#

It's stressfull at first

#

Then you can't live without it

shy gulch
#

nice job! congrats

nice job alma!

rain sedge
#

nice job

#

you can redo fights? o.O

#

heroic greater evasion oh lord

clever otter
#

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

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

gaunt fiber
#

You should start with some RI4

#

It builds up sanity

#

and you end up like me

spice whale
#

I used RI1 and got a W with Guan Yu

gaunt fiber
#

Your path is the right one

spice whale
#

I think I've found my calling with that spear, tbh

gaunt fiber
#

oh

#

That's very good news

gentle bridge
#

god, thats like the diogenes challenge but more sadistic

unreal pasture
#

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

fathom cloud
#

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

gentle bridge
#

arthur suddenly becomes super hard at higher heats imo, esp when you start adding forced overtime

rain sedge
#

this might be your best creation yet

mossy zinc
#

It is. squirtnya

rain sedge
#

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

mossy zinc
#

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.

rain sedge
#

but think of the trolling payout!

mossy zinc
#

Like RI4 50 Heat maybe. That's more fun.

rain sedge
#

tbh I'd also pay good money to see that

vital grove
#

I'll do it for good money. If I don't have to win. Lol

sly remnant
#

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 wristeBigBrain beo. I'd try it out at any, 32, and 40 to get the hang of it

rain sedge
#

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?

sly remnant
#

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

rain sedge
#

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

waxen relic
#

just do it

sly remnant
#

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.

upbeat wyvern
#

Completed my first 32 heat run today, felt good! rama aspect with zeus on special, I know it's a bit broken but whatever

rain sedge
#

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

mossy zinc
#

Rama 32 is pretty free, though.

#

Good job!

gaunt fiber
upbeat wyvern
#

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

gaunt fiber
#

there is a "2"

upbeat wyvern
gaunt fiber
#

Idk what that numbers refers to

mossy zinc
#

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. dusa

upbeat wyvern
#

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

mossy zinc
#

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?

rain sedge
#

we have a dedicated meanness-punching-bag and golgoth is not it

dire steppe
#

what’s freest 32, eris zeus + all fist (except gilg)?

rain sedge
#

eris by far

#

you can play blindfolded

mossy zinc
#

I think it's def top 5, though.

#

Rama > Eris.

sly remnant
#

the ceiling on rama is higher

#

but in terms of execution

#

its def eris

#

rama is a hard weapon

#

and hammer reliant

dire steppe
#

baj shield is the easiest 32 imo

#

take ap1 take thunder flourish start and don’t die

#

works with lv1

sly remnant
#

baj shield hard to play tho

gaunt fiber
#

pogbuild

#

3 GY 40 in a row

#

Charged skewer was definitely not the hammer I was looking for

sly remnant
#

nice!

dire steppe
#

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

gaunt fiber
#

It was a massive spin start

#

I almost died in Asphodel against dracons

sly remnant
#

bp2 dracons are top 5 most hated enemy

gaunt fiber
#

yep

#

that + blurry rooms

#

just divine dashing until they're dead basically

astaos resqtoaster on an interesting GY run with icewine

vital grove
#

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

true fable
#

that + second wind usually does the trick for me

rain sedge
#

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

gaunt fiber
compact shoal
#

how do you build rama

rain sedge
#

do you have a "fight me" emote for me astaos?

gaunt fiber
#

hm

#

this suits you

rain sedge
#

well, I'd put on my catgirl suit to fight nya on this for the sake of even footing then

gaunt fiber
#

wow

sly remnant
#

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

rain sedge
#

easiest 32s for me was eris, chiron, talos, demeter, zag fist, poseidon, achilles, all 4 shields, then rama

gaunt fiber
#

where is GY I can't see it

rain sedge
#

real talk GY with charged skewere might even be easier than rama

true fable
#

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

sly remnant
#

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

rain sedge
#

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

true fable
#

if you get 10 mins first try you should 100% go after my record lmfao

rain sedge
#

actually.... now that I looked at the leaderboard

#

tail had the pre-cleared 32 heat record at 8.38

sly remnant
#

eris can go faster than rama

rain sedge
#

faster than my any heat eris record btw

sly remnant
#

but no one grinds 32 heat

true fable
#

^

#

everyone does 32 heat a few timea n then just does 40/50 or anyheat

sly remnant
#

after i do 56 beo

#

i want to do all aspects sub 10 at 32

true fable

sly remnant
#

to try to generate interest on the board

rain sedge
#

skull earring for speed right?

sly remnant
#

probably?

#

are you running high confidence?

rain sedge
#

no lol

#

its still 32

sly remnant
#

fair

#

i think shields can run HC

#

you can also check well for good eris items

#

and look at hourglass

rain sedge
#

there's no good eris items lol

#

my hammer is targetting system

sly remnant
#

bablo tooth isn't bad either. rooms are actually dangerous with HL5 BP

dire steppe
#

skull earring + high confidence works if you use level 1 guan yu and get a -hp chaos curse

waxen relic
#

? aren't they both percentage based?

dire steppe
#

yeah but if your max hp is 1

waxen relic
#

you won't get the bonus from earring?

sly remnant
#

earring rounds up to nearest whole hp now

rain sedge
#

I'm pretty sure that wasnt fixed

#

remember the first iteration of test branch where it was still broken?

waxen relic
#

oh does it? i thought they just upped the percentage

sly remnant
#

oh you right

rain sedge
#

that's why they put it to 35%

sly remnant
#

it is still broken nvm

rain sedge
#

wow my hammers are so bad for speedrun

#

spreadfire, hazard bomb, delta chamber

sly remnant
#

ewwwwww

#

i guess delta

rain sedge
#

ye

#

8 mins after heroes

#

that's good right

#

for a 32

#

just up to sac now

gaunt fiber
#

I think yeah

#

go for sub 12

rain sedge
#

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

gaunt fiber
#

10:08 is my record peepoHappy

sly remnant
#

#JustErisThings

rain sedge
#

as I said, easiest weapon at 32

sly remnant
#

i mean i agreed with you

rain sedge
#

with tidal dash it'll be way faster

true fable
#

pretttty nice

#

i havent touched eris in a hot min

rain sedge
#

that would put me third on the 32 heat board

#

hmmmm

#

with enough grind I could easily do 2nd I think

mossy zinc
#

Hestia > Eris.

sly remnant
#

lmfao

#

ok nyaanyaa

rain sedge
mossy zinc
#

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

how useful was electric shot?

mossy zinc
#

Very. I did Dash-Strike x2 > Electric Shot a lot. Eventually ended up starting with the casts because they were doing more damage.

tidal flame
#

nice. was concerned that Electric Shot would fall off later but i guess Splitting Bolt helped

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, definitely.

electric shot for room clear is always good

Nope.

14/24. squirtnya

#

Oh, also a new PB with Malphon.

rain sedge
#

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

mossy zinc
#

lol

true fable
#

40 with zag spear was easier than 40 with GY for me

#

😦

rain sedge
#

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

shy gulch
#

how do u even do zag sword at like 40

#

that seems really rough

gaunt fiber
#

special double dash strike

#

until game is done

#

or you die

#

prolly highroll ME if you don't wanna bother and just clear

rain sedge
shy gulch
#

bruh

rain sedge
#

and he basically played with random boons

shy gulch
#

absolute madlad

#

im prob gonna stick with doing every aspect at 32 heat, 40 seems a tad much

#

for me

gaunt fiber
#

40 is like 32

#

but harder

rain sedge
#

it's not exactly "random", but nothing broken either

gaunt fiber
#

But you keep control of your build

#

so it's not frustrating

rain sedge

40 is like 32 but harder

  • Astaos, Warrior-Poet of Infinite Wisdom
gaunt fiber
#

Yeah sometimes I'd rather say nothing

sly remnant
#

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

gaunt fiber
#

listen to this wise guy

rain sedge
#

for casuals like me it's a different game ok?

#

32 sword/shield? it's free real estate

gaunt fiber
#

Schad

#

you cleared 50

rain sedge
#

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

mossy zinc
gaunt fiber
#

I'll remember

mossy zinc
true fable
#

the thing is 40 is like 32 but harder

#

50 is not like 40 but harder

sly remnant
#

^i agree with bright

tidal flame
#

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.

mossy zinc
#

40 is just 0 Heat but with pacts.

sly remnant
#

yea the game fundamentally changes from 40-50

gaunt fiber
#

I'm not the only one

unreal pasture
#

words of wisdom

sly remnant
#

there are aspects that struggle even at 40, but its still a reasonable leap most of the time

gaunt fiber
#

which ones you think?

sly remnant
#

arthur is the most notable

gaunt fiber
#

yeah

unreal pasture
#

Yea, was gonna say Arthur is a struggle in certain pacts

sly remnant
#

i think GY is a struggle but i suck at the weapon

unreal pasture
#

It's so annoying chasing chariot theseus down on Arthur

mossy zinc
#

Just take RI at 40 for Excalibur.

sly remnant
#

i agree with you nyaanyaa

#

its still a weird aspect at 40tho

rain sedge
#

gilga at 40 sucks

true fable
#

i think im caving and using a TD2 pact for 50 heat chaos

sly remnant
#

what other aspect legitimately runs RI3 as its staple at 40

unreal pasture
#

what... I love Gilga ron

true fable
#

my first try got so much further than my EM4 TD3 tries

#

gilga is honestly very free

unreal pasture
#

Gilga kind of starts to feel terrible once you turn on DC though

sly remnant
#

splash dash and profit

true fable
#

nah

#

DC is fine

#

just body slam

mossy zinc
#

Guan Yu meta at 40 is RI4, m very sure.

gaunt fiber
#

^

sly remnant
#

i could see RI3

#

but DDs are cool

mossy zinc
#

You don't need DDs if you don't get hit.

sly remnant
#

i mean yall know more about the weapon than me

unreal pasture
#

if you don't play perfectly, you've made mistakes

sly remnant
#

i'm just not sure 2 heat is worth not having DDs

#

achilles at 40 with athena start is probably what i would suggest

true fable
#

apparently take GY and run RI4 for 8 free heat

mossy zinc
#

#hades-high-heat-trolling

sly remnant
#

yea saame

gaunt fiber
#

I've been trying DDs on GY really

#

every time I fail my tartarus

#

And I can no hit with SD

sly remnant
#

But yea I like Achilles with phalanx shot into divine dash

#

If you get lightning phalanx its cool

mossy zinc
#

I like Flurry Jab on Achilles.

#

I don't like not seeing Flurry Jab on Achilles because then I have to, like, think more.

sly remnant
#

^flurry jab v good particularly with arti attack

gaunt fiber
#

I want flurry jab GY

#

where can I suggest it

mossy zinc
#

Amir DMs.

true fable
#

flurry jab GY would rule

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah if Zag stops jumping on third hit

gaunt fiber
mossy zinc
#

You would lose the spin, so it's not gonna happen.

gaunt fiber
#

I know that

#

But sacrifices are necessary

shy plinth
#

You can get delta chamber on hestia tho

gaunt fiber
#

Delta chamber does not make you lose anything gameplay wise

shy plinth
#

You can still reload??

#

Well that's what I get for not trying it

gaunt fiber
#

yeah you can

gaunt fiber
sly remnant
#

While I understand wanting flurry jab the last thing we need is another spear that depends on flurry jab at high heat

gaunt fiber
#

It's just another option

#

I tried to give some love to winged serpent I really did

true fable
#

im happy to reset for GY flurry jab 🙂

gaunt fiber
#

keep trying it will work

true fable
#

i usually end up resetting my GY runs in tartarus anyway

#

completely on purpose

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah I watched some of them

#

The intentional part was not that clear to me

#

But I could be mistaken

true fable
#

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

gaunt fiber
#

Oh

#

Told ya you were talented

#

You prove it once again

true fable
#

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

gaunt fiber
#

You know

true fable
#

freal though i think ima use his pact for my chaos shield clear

gaunt fiber
#

I translate your messages to korean too

honest kernel
#

i was watching that, it was cute

#

how he just pulled up google translate

true fable
#

lol i felt so bad

sly remnant
#

yo i didn't know he streamed

#

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.

sly remnant
#

the consensus is turn on dark foresight and never turn it off

#

sorry retrash 😦 i know you've been grinding that fight pretty hard

daring hedge
#

a better second hammer and patty actually showing up could've maybe pulled this through

rain sedge
#

59 shadeohboy

daring hedge
#

still no idea if JS2+CP2 or JS3+CP1 is better

#

they feel about the same throughout these attempts

mossy zinc
#

How consistently can you get to Hades with JS3 CP1 vs JS2 CP2?

#

If it's the same, then JS3 CP1 is easier.

daring hedge
#

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

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, I think even with slightly less time, you'll finish the fight faster with CP1, no?

daring hedge
#

i'm thinking the same yeah

#

might keep doing JS3 CP1 for now

rain sedge
#

tbh those boons are pretty damn good for an AP2 run

shy gulch
#

would RI3 ever be worth to take out a point in jury and cp? tho em4 with one dash sounds like pure hell

daring hedge
#

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

shy gulch
#

yeah

#

figured

mossy zinc
#

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.

true fable
#

hoping for hermes dashes + good hammers on AP2 seems like a maddening experience

shy gulch
#

Maxy?

mossy zinc
#

smh newbies don't know who Maxy is.

shy gulch
#

😔

daring hedge
#

it's extremely draining

shy gulch
#

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

mossy zinc
#

Maxy is Hades but with maxed-out pacts that affect the fight.

shy gulch
#

ah ok

#

yeah one dash for that sounds like pain

mossy zinc
#

Everybody calls him that.

sly remnant
#

i've literally never heard the name

true fable
#

different words

mossy zinc
#

See?

true fable
#

but the meanings there

shy gulch
#

I should do that fight more often actually

#

I’ve only done it a couple times

mossy zinc
#

You never heard the name because no one's grinding Maxy since 1.0.

#

Because EM4 is a thing now.

shy gulch
#

oh is Maxy non em4

#

I assumed with em4

mossy zinc
#

Well, it's EM4 now.

shy gulch
#

ah

mossy zinc
#

It wasn't with EM4 before 1.0.

#

But it's also HL5 CP2 FO2 HS DC2.

shy gulch
#

right

true fable
#

super maxy

#

sounds like a US prison no TY

sly remnant
#

i have a ton of practice on beo maxy

#

but i need to work on other aspects XD

mossy zinc
#

MaxyDaGod.

#

That's probably his gamer tag.

#

And his son ZaggyDaGod.

daring hedge
#

amir help, patty left my hell mode file and never came back

mossy zinc
#

He's actually hanging out with Amir now.

tidal flame
mossy zinc
#

It's because you don't use Antos anymore.

daring hedge
#

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

mossy zinc
#

He would if you used Antos.

#

So.

daring hedge
#

nyaa do you see the problem here

#

i can't use antos

true fable
#

LOL

mossy zinc
#

That's not my fault now, is it.

#

That's on you.

#

You shoulda talked to Patty more.

daring hedge
#

i have been shadegrief

#

repulse shot is a good hammer everyone

mossy zinc
#

I actually think it's good.

sly remnant
#

how do you have so much time

mossy zinc
#

It's a lot easier to do Power Shots.

daring hedge
#

it's just a damage loss at high heat compared to other hammers

daring hedge
mossy zinc
#

But you need another hammer that does damage.

daring hedge
#

i didn't even get patty

sly remnant
#

tailesque the god

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, pretty much. But I think Twin Shot or Perfect Shot with Repulse Shot is really good.

daring hedge
#

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

mossy zinc
#

Tailesque is also broken.

#

2x broken = infinity.

sly remnant
#

i think anvil. this dad fight is still gonna be tight

#

and repulse hammer does a fat lot of nothing

mossy zinc
#

Or maybe it's broken^2, I don't know how that works.

daring hedge
#

if this anvil goes south i'm blaming tyler

sly remnant
#

i'll accept it

true fable
#

well

#

think of it this way right

mossy zinc
#

I wouldn't risk it.

true fable
#

would you win with repulse?

#

idk

mossy zinc
#

Repulse Shot might be nice for adds?

sly remnant
#

the minibosses?

true fable
#

that reminds me

#

i wanted to test if repulse shot procs sea storm lol

mossy zinc
#

But you definitely still want Perfect Shot.

daring hedge
#

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

sly remnant
#

its a literal 50/50

#

you can anvil before dad

mossy zinc
#

So don't high roll.

sly remnant
#

nyaanyaa thats not the definition of a high roll

mossy zinc
#

Go for consistency and do your best.

dire steppe
#

take the anvil

#

no balls

mossy zinc
#

50-50 to throw your run is stupid.

sly remnant
#

it depends on if you think the run is winnable in its current state or not

mossy zinc
#

He can do it.

sly remnant
#

sure i think he can too

tidal flame
true fable
#

but does hades3234 think he can

sly remnant
#

but its about expected value

true fable
#

the answer is yes

daring hedge
#

LMAO

#

THIS ANVIL

#

NO

#

this is a joke

true fable
#

OH NOOOOOOOO

#

LOL

sly remnant
#

lmao

true fable
#

is it sniper explosive

shy plinth
#

Explosive shot for sure

true fable
#

more hammers gud

daring hedge
#

even better

#

triple but botched

dire steppe
#

wait how'd you lose a third hammer

sly remnant
#

WAIT

#

WHAT

true fable
#

wait that's not

#

awful

#

is it?

#

it's not good

mossy zinc
#

@sly remnant I know what expected value is lol.

daring hedge
#

it's basically triple shot but shotgunning doesn't work

true fable
#

but it's not awful is it?

shy plinth
#

Chain+triple is messed up right

#

Yeah

true fable
#

ah

tidal flame
#

Triple better than perfect?

daring hedge
#

not with chain foxhope

#

chain ruins it

tidal flame
#

Oh rip

dire steppe
#

why does shotgunning not work with chain triple

daring hedge
#

something to do with how the shots don't pierce anymore

#

so the side shots easily just skate outside your target

#

even point blank

shy gulch
#

bruh what

#

that’s weird

daring hedge
#

four minutes left too

#

ugh

tidal flame
#

Well that's a tease if I ever see one

#

Good luck

#

Make it without Twin or Triple

#

And ascend

sly remnant
unreal pasture
#

^ this is a weird ... semantic thing

sly remnant
#

i'm explaining why i would take the anvil

#

because its a +Ev play

unreal pasture
#

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

sly remnant
#

a play cannot literally be + and - EV

dire steppe
#

theres no such thing as a "-EV" hammer

sly remnant
#

it is either +EV or - EV

dire steppe
#

a negative value hammer is part of the EV

#

but EV is an average

unreal pasture
#

Sure. A theoretical EV can be positive... but you can still RNG into a hammer like Explosive Shot...

tidal flame
#

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?

unreal pasture
#

Or the hammers people would consider negative value

sly remnant
#

^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

unreal pasture
#

Wll... that's why there's a distinction between theoretical EV and actual value

sly remnant
#

uh. no there isn't

unreal pasture
#

uuuuuuuh.

mossy zinc
#

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.

unreal pasture
#

If you disagree with this one... that's a fundamental and foundational difference that effectively cannot be resolved

unreal pasture
#

Maybe I misread?

sly remnant
unreal pasture
#

One good or one useless

sly remnant
#

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

tidal flame
#

I think rerolling is a fine choice tbh. EV asides.

unreal pasture
#

"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

mossy zinc
#

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.

unreal pasture
#

IE: You're rerolling your hammer thousands of times

mossy zinc
#

It's like you just look at EV and ignore the fact that he didn't need to gamble in the first place.

tidal flame
#

Getting through EM4 on Perfect Shot only sounds horrendous

sly remnant
#

^

unreal pasture
#

But there's a reason new game theories try to apply risk aversion

unreal pasture
#

Of course?

true fable
#

it's ultimately different philosophies that clash

#

yall arent gonna find a "correct" choice

#

because there isn't one

sly remnant
#

results-oriented is a fallacy in game theory

unreal pasture
#

The results are pre-determined

#

Disagree

#

I don't think post hoc is necessarily fallacious

sly remnant
#

I mean every basic game theory course disagrees with you

mossy zinc
#

I really don't care about game theory lol.

sly remnant
#

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

shy plinth
#

If any of you ever end up playing a CCG you can look forward to having this conversation ad nauseum

true fable
#

LOL

shy plinth
#

The goal here is to figure out if doing something that lost you a run was the right decision anyway

unreal pasture
#

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

tidal flame
#

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.

shy plinth
#

Quite often you can lose a run and make the same decision the next time you're in that spot

unreal pasture
#

If you're going to win the run with no extra hammers, why incur the risk?

sly remnant
#

was he going to win the run?

true fable
#

well if you're going to win the run either way why dont we just say he did 59 heat LOL

unreal pasture
#

The "Anvil is +EV" argument should apply in all situations then, right?

true fable
#

he has to do it

tidal flame
#

Well too late for that hypothesis on Perfect Shot now

shy plinth
#

The scenario implies a lack of a guaranteed outcome

sly remnant
true fable
#

i dont think you can put a % chance on whether someone will win something inherently moment to moment performance based

tidal flame
shy plinth
#

It's very hard in a game like hades where execution matters a lot and there are a ton of variables second to second

true fable
#

^

shy plinth
#

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

unreal pasture
tidal flame
#

Well has it been 4 mins?

#

Tail should be done by now

sly remnant
dire steppe
#

4 ingame minutes = 20 of pausing

unreal pasture
#

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

tidal flame
unreal pasture
#

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

shy plinth
#

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

tidal flame
shy plinth
#

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

unreal pasture
#

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

shy plinth
#

Haven't charted it out or anything

unreal pasture
#

But that's kind of a different argument/discussion

sly remnant
#

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

shy plinth
#

Well sure, deterministic outcomes vs theoretical ones aren't gonna be the same

unreal pasture
#

^

#

Tyler's on board the theorist/a priori boat

shy plinth
#

If you can see the future you can make very specific decisions

tidal flame
#

TAIL, what's the result bud

shy plinth
#

Before you take an anvil everyone is a theorist

sly remnant
#

he didn't say anything so probably not good

tidal flame
#

Are you back from your smoke break?

#

it would be wild to make 58 2 days ago and 59 today

unreal pasture
#

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

dire steppe
#

You... don't believe there is probability?

unreal pasture
#

No

sly remnant
#

lmfao

tidal flame
#

But but probability is taking into account the fact that you cannot determine the RNG

unreal pasture
#

It's a useful tool/heuristic when you cannot predict the future though... (or know initial conditions)

tidal flame
#

anyhow, I think this convo is going nowhere because yall have not enough data.

sly remnant
#

no but we still make deductions based on our current understanding

#

thats not incorrect

tidal flame
#

yes and no. sometimes the best is not enough.

shy plinth
#

If anyone ever wants to talk about Monty Hall just @ me

tidal flame
#

we don't know what tail skill cap is

shy plinth
#

We'll go for a while

tidal flame
#

we can't put a concrete number on hammers

sly remnant
#

of course we can't

unreal pasture
#

Monty Hall is 1/2 ron bayesian probability updates with new knowledge/information
don't @ me

sly remnant
#

thats true in any game

shy plinth
#

I changed my mind I don't want to talk about Monty Hall

tidal flame
#

also why do we have people talking about EV in this channel lol

unreal pasture
#

how about newcombe's then? shadegrief

tidal flame
#

what do yall do?

shy plinth
#

I expect value

#

And ultimately I think this conversation was generally positive

tidal flame
#

just curios because I'm doing a stats grad program

#

and didn't expect to see stats here

shy plinth
#

My other gaming life is deep in the collectible card game world

#

Prob and stats are a way of life for us

sly remnant
#

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

unreal pasture
#

neetlife for me shadegrief ... but I was doing mostly sciences before dropout

true fable
#

i'm prepping for med school rn

#

should probably know more stats than i do

med school is rad dude. good luck!

med school speedrun sounds... dangerous?

shy plinth
#

Wait after med school do you have to call them hyperthermic runs

i think hades3234 is korean

you are right

at least his flag suggests so

it takes a while

#

have you done spear 32?

#

i see

#

spear is hard

dire steppe
#

ooh are we talking about math now

#

i like math

shy plinth
#

No, math talk done

#

Continuing the conversation would be -EV

silver prairie
#

why is spear hard

dire steppe
#

reduces winrate of your masters degree

silver prairie
#

im just curious i havent played at high heat yet

dire steppe
#

i’ll infect you with the stupid

silver prairie
#

i already have it, we good

sly remnant
silver prairie
#

that makes sense yeah

#

its got longer range for sure than sword and fists at least

spring kettle
#

And the hammers are more situational

sly remnant
#

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

spring kettle
#

Quick spin should be automatic on Guan Yu

#

How am I supposed to spam my healing move otherwise?

sly remnant
#

most spear aspects are just flurry jab aspects at 45+

mossy zinc
#

I think spear is really good for high heat. thanthink

sly remnant
#

if you get flurry jab it is

mossy zinc
#

It's not bow or rail.

sly remnant
#

my issue with spear at high heat is how hammer dependent it is

#

spear is great in seeded

honest kernel
#

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

sly remnant
#

what if the play is drop AP2 for JS3 CP2 RI3 AP1

honest kernel
#

One dash with spear ? Could work, if you are good enough at bosses

sly remnant
#

lol i meant for the 58/59 attempts

honest kernel
#

Oh

north dove
#

please tell me sacks aren't seeded... I've only been getting 3 sacks 😬

#

which won't cut it for this heat

honest kernel
#

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

dire steppe
#

in the hermes cup they always get the same sack number tho

honest kernel
#

Not quite

dire steppe
#

right?

honest kernel
#

They use a mod that makes it 3-sack maximum

#

is charged skewer worth it on any spear besides guan yu?

#

honest kernel
#

Well on Hades spear it might be okay

But otherwise ? Spear special still too laggy

That's why Explosive Launcher is so good

#

disrespecting chain skewer

^this is a troll

shy gulch
#

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.
