#

well it's motivated by the fact that cyberpunk isn't gonna be playable until january the earliest

#

so I'm gonna go on with hades and valhalla for now

gaunt fiber
#

Let's be clear Schad

#

You ain't escaping

rain sedge
#

also since my friend is already gone for christmas and I missed the window to borrow her PS4 to play crash 4

honest kernel
#

I tried

#

It sucked me right in immediatly

rain sedge
honest kernel
#

Addiction's too strong

gaunt fiber
#

Hey

rain sedge
gaunt fiber
#

I escape a lot lately

honest kernel
#

Oh wait are we talking about winning in the game

#

Or like, escaping this game's community

gaunt fiber
#

At first the game's community

#

Schad is bringing the winning thing

honest kernel
#

Yeah ok

gaunt fiber
#

Success rate low anyway

rain sedge
#

I'm just ticking "daily astaos bully" off my todo, don't mind me

#

I mean the reason I play this game is because of this channel

#

community's nice

#

the actual things I can do in the game is already finished a long time ago

#

I might parse the game audio and listen to all the conversations I've missed but that's it

honest kernel
#

Oh yeah I'm done too for all that the game itself encourages you to do myself

#

And honestly, I don't know where that high heat push craze came from

#

In fact, I was here since the "Welcome to Hell" update came around, why did it take so long ?

#

Was I just that busy screwing around with the different weapons/boons/updates ?

#

Or what

#

That kind of passion usually doesn't kick in after I've done something for a while, it's usually pre-set in advance

#

It's weird

#

Either way, probably will do more 59 heat attempts tomorrow.
Today I'll simply look out to do something else

mossy zinc
#

I do that on Talos.

honest kernel
#

Yeah ok you went super far in the log lmao

gaunt fiber
honest kernel
#

Makes sense tho, since the Magnetic debuff gives +50% attack

#

Works well with crits

mossy zinc
#

Also Support Fire, Mirage Shot, Hunting Blades, Crystal Clarity, Lightning Rod. Good routes from there.

honest kernel
#

So you start with Artemis attack then ?

#

Or is it something you pick up in Asphodel or naturally after the cast

mossy zinc
#

Still undecided if Deadly Strike or Flood Shot is the better start.

honest kernel
#

Hmm

gaunt fiber
#

I play talos quite a lot

#

it's Flood shot

honest kernel
#

When I play fists I do Demeter

#

don't play with Talos often, outside of Curse of Drowning

vapid lotus
#

I want to ask for any tips for getting past the hydra in asphodel but I'm just shadefear I see yall are busy and don't want to interupt 😅

gaunt fiber
#

I'll help

vapid lotus
#

Okay- ty

mossy zinc
#

Stream should be easier on your drive than recording unless you do both, obviously.

gaunt fiber
#

Hey that's true

#

you don't call me psycho or anything like that

mossy zinc
#

If you scale down, that's super-sampling. Should look better. Need more VRAM, though.

#

Why does this channel always talk about me when m asleep.

gaunt fiber
#

You're actually reading everything

gaunt fiber
mossy zinc
#

m so popular. squirtdevious

mossy zinc
#

The people love me.

gaunt fiber
#

Sure thing

#

Alright let's break that winstreak

gentle bridge
#

whats a good 32 heat setup for a first time high heat run?

#

planning on using either chiron bow or nem sword

mossy zinc
#

HL5 LC4 CF2 EM3 BP2 MM UC TD3.

gentle bridge
#

aight, will try it now. thanks @mossy zinc

Hades didn't win best roguelike at pcgamer

#

That's a super WeirdChamp

mossy zinc
#

Wut.

gentle bridge
#

oh man, td3, huh. thatll be the challenge

rain sedge
mossy zinc
#

If you can't get either in Tartarus, take the Arrowhead in Asphodel for Deadly Flourish.

#

DPS in Tartarus mainly comes from your Attack because enemies die so fast.

gentle bridge
#

alright, just died in asphodel. its rouuuuuuuuuuugh. i love it.

#

td3 is making me hurry and make bad movement

this build won

This channel was so wholesome while I was sleeping khadHug

#

i just realized the korean player commented the timestamp when tail appeared on the yt replay

#

"He appeared"

#

according to google translate lol

mossy zinc
#

lol

#

man

#

imma have to pull an all-nighter one night and catch his stream

#

sounds like it was a great time

#

also bright and tail achieving senpai status

honest kernel
#

T'was quite the event

#

Also that pin

sly remnant
#

thank you for the pin

#

man it was so wholesome its inspired me to grind 40 heat EM4 all day

mossy zinc
#

Putting FO1 and DC2 as "core" just seems like really bad advice at 32.

solemn pulsar
#

I think given that Eris/Chiron are recommended that they make sense. DC is almost irrelevant with those weapons, and FO1 is much more forgiving with ranged attacks/hitstun

mossy zinc
#

DC matters quite a bit on Chiron.

honest kernel
#

DC is awful on chiron

solemn pulsar
#

? the DC is gone after the first hit of the first special. Is the concern that the enemy still moves through the attack shot?

#

or the damage loss from the attack

mossy zinc
#

FO is not more forgiving on ranged aspects. It's the other way around. Melee handles enemies coming close a lot better. Ranged aspects want enemies at range not enemies that rush you down.

fathom cloud
#

FO really really sucks on Arthur though, that was what drove me to turn it off

mossy zinc
#

I think people are tripping thinking DC doesn't matter on Chiron. The DPS drop from losing practically all of your Attack damage on so many enemies is huge. Without DC, you can power-shoot your way through Tartarus faster than if you focus on your Special.

solemn pulsar
#

yeah but this is for an easy clear, not fast clears

#

if you're trying to clear 32 heat for the first time, you might not be perfect with power shots

honest kernel
#

the deadline though

fathom cloud
#

Hot take: AP1 wasn't that bad

mossy zinc
#

You don't need to be perfect.

solemn pulsar
#

if anything i disagree with TD3 in core

mossy zinc
toxic token
#

In chiron you are trying to oneshot enemies. You can't be sticking with one enemy much time I made the same mistake. While a weapon like fists dosen't have a prob with DC since you just spam your combo until you finish the enemies

solemn pulsar
#

with TD3, someone trying to clear 32 heat for the first time may not have cleared below 20 minutes at all, let alone under higher heat circumstances

#

I think that one is definitely flexible with people's playstyles/prefrenecs, so not super "core" necessarily

onyx venture
#

I pinned the post because it's been referenced several times, and because Schad did say that they were open to revision from more experienced players but none corrected the post at the time. Please feel free to ping Schad to edit the post if you think it is misleading, or provide your own revised and consensus-approved version to replace it shadethumbsup

mossy zinc
#

They gotta step up their game for 32 either way. TD3 is just a DPS check.

honest kernel
#

Well, it is just a general suggestion

fathom cloud
#

I'd say TD3 encourages a lot of damage trading when people don't have their rotations / safety down. With a more lax deadline people can play it safer by a significant margin.

mossy zinc
fathom cloud
#

From TD3 -> 2, I no longer felt pressured to go ham all the time and would be a lot safer during fights. Speaking as a 32 casul.

solemn pulsar
#

everyone knows the true way to add heat is to add one level from each thing, starting from the top, looping through until you hit your desired heat amount

toxic token
solemn pulsar
#

under that setup, 32 heat is HL2 LC2 CF2 JS2 EM2 CP2 BP2 MM UC FO1 HS RI1 DC1 AP1 TD1

mossy zinc
#

I can see TD2 being core and 3 optional. Though in my experience TD3 at 32 is just a matter of knowing the right builds for newer players.

toxic token
#

I'll name that "the easy way of doing heat so you don't have to think"

solemn pulsar
#

40 heat is that + FO2 RI2 DC2 AP2 (technically 41 but we can't break the rules)
50 adds TD2 (lmao) HL3 LC3 JS3 EM3 and CP3

toxic token
#

oh... yeah that's right... my title's too big

rain sedge
#

Whoa I went to work for a bit and this happened

#

I did preface the message with "in my opinion", and I wrote this somewhat detailed message because I think it'll be good for people to have a bit more detailed advice 🤷‍♂️

gentle bridge
#

been thinking of dropping td to 2 and removing FO and just putting it on others. even when i tried thme on chiron and eris, i feel like id rather risk HL or something else

#

although it might be just me lacking experience

rain sedge
#

also I wrote that when I'm even more of a casual than now

#

maybe I'll edit it and put the heats in tiers in terms of "easiest" "will be easier than others" "try this depending on your aspect and playstyle"

#

aaaand tidal dash no longer procs sea storm cool

mossy zinc
rain sedge
#

I usually go with HL2/HL3 and FO1

gentle bridge
#

yeah, im starting to prefer that. i should be able to dodge and kite better with ranged weapons anyway

rain sedge
#

also just for the record: I tested TD3 with all 24 aspects and it all worked, with plenty of time left too. I didn't even roll double edge for the swords

#

taking 3 free heat on TD3 just by optimising your game play is so much better than taking 3 extra heat from JS/CP/FO/HL that might kill you

mossy zinc
#

Yeah def recommend TD3 for 32.

rain sedge
#

im gonna remove the sea storm on eris since it's a real pain to get now and not worth for 32, especially for beginners

gentle bridge
#

alrighty ill just need to work on my aim then. mouse and keyboard gets rough for me when it gets frantic

toxic token
#

the fact that you spended time and effort to try helping other players alone is admirable even if some people find it somewhat wrong ofc and everyone has their opinion like me I can't do TD3 just because my own preference in games is playing without time limits even if it seems either for most

rain sedge
#

just trying to give back to the community that taught me a lot of things, like standing in the middle during dad laser and what starfox is

mossy zinc
#

Star Fox*

#

I mean that DC2 "core" is def Eris bias lol.

rain sedge
#

we have a very different playstyle on bow, and I believe beginners will use my playstyle more

#

DC2 on chiron is free

mossy zinc
#

32 is free.

solemn pulsar
#

just replace the recommended heat with "32 heat is free, get good lol"

mossy zinc
#

I think your pin should include RI4 Tempest Strike Guan Yu.

#

All the top Guan Yu players do it.

rain sedge
#

so just 2 of them

mossy zinc
#

Like I said.

#

All the top Guan Yu players.

solemn pulsar
#

two points make a line

#

that's enough for a trend

mossy zinc
#

It's meta.

#

@gaunt fiber git gud. squirtnya

gaunt fiber
#

I feel like I'm almost gud at GY

mossy zinc
#

Almost.

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah

#

Still small mistakes

#

that kills ofc because I die in 2 hits

mossy zinc
#

The next best thing, but not quite me. squirtnya

gaunt fiber
#

Lmao

#

Just read your meta analysis of GY

#

Quite accurate

mossy zinc
#

Thank you. squirtnya

gaunt fiber
#

I changed my mind about winged serpent

#

It's not that bad

#

Especially in styx, even without quick spin

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, it's just not Quick Spin or Massive Spin.

gaunt fiber
#

I guess I could control the bounces in rooms

#

might work

#

but it's a lot of work

#

This aspect is so deep

#

and then there's Eris

#

idk

mossy zinc
#

Why control bounces when you can go for uncontrollable Poseidon bounces?

rain sedge
#

I've updated the 32 advice for new players, ping me if you have general advices for new players or disagree strongly with what I've said

gaunt fiber
#

I got the poseidon starting pack with my flourish

#

it was hilarious

rain sedge
#

remember it's for new players, so some things that are easy for the more experienced are hard for them

gaunt fiber
#

Frost spins, enemies pushed and so on

rain sedge
#

no RI4 trolls pls ❤️

gaunt fiber
#

I just want Aphrodite, Demeter, Zeus, Poseidon and Artemis in my runs.

#

Every time.

mossy zinc
#

@rain sedge as the Queen of Malphon, I assure you Talos shouldn't be on there.

rain sedge
#

it's 50% on PC right?

mossy zinc
#

Most people have no clue how to play Talos.

rain sedge
#

is it that bad on high heat? it felt not that different than demeter when I play it

#

hmmm ok

gaunt fiber
rain sedge
#

I suppose talos is just a worse demeter than most people

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah nvm

mossy zinc
#

I cringe when I see Talos play most of the time.

spring kettle
#

It took me ages to realize it increased cast damage as well

rain sedge
#

I took it out, makes sense

#

probably should just funnel them to demeter instead of confusing them with 2 fist

mossy zinc
#

It's good, but it's not easiest to learn.

rain sedge
#

when I did my 32 I just special --> attack for bigger mobs and let chain lightning take care of smaller mobs

#

am I doing it right lol

mossy zinc
#

Excalibur should be on there for sure at 32 with a disclaimer to not take DC or FO.

spring kettle
#

Might make cold embrace viable?

#

cries in trying to complete duo prophecy and only missing duos with Demeter based on casts now

mossy zinc
#

@rain sedge depends somewhat on if you cancel your Special into Dash.

fathom cloud
#

Schad I love what you've done for the community, thank you - what I said were merely my opinions on what heats I found easier

rain sedge
#

I've added the DC and FO thing on there

#

I think those are the only 2 heats that are really variable per aspect

gaunt fiber
#

damn

rain sedge
gaunt fiber
#

I need to do something for the community too

rain sedge
#

remember the time someone came here looking for aspect advice

#

and he did his first 32 with zag sword

#

with AP or something I think

mossy zinc
#

I would just put "Meg or Antos" for companion. Familiarity ends up mattering more at high heat. A lot of people will just whiff Meg lol.

spring kettle
#

Thanatos is too slow the one time I used him

rain sedge
#

yea I dont think thanatos is good advice for 32

gaunt fiber
#

What number shoud I aim for a GY 40 streak?

#

Just to say "see it's consistent"

rain sedge
gaunt fiber
#

Very funny

rain sedge
#

why

#

even bablo can't make it consistent

gaunt fiber
#

Oh you did not read?

rain sedge
#

what thing

gaunt fiber
#

I was at 4, then I got witched room 2

rain sedge
#

lol no

#

well 4 is consistent enough then

gaunt fiber
#

lmao

gaunt fiber
rain sedge
#

cool I think that's general and informative enough for new players that come here for 32

#

ping me if more changes

mossy zinc
#

Keepsake:

  • Whatever god keepsake needed for your build in Tartarus and Asphodel, acorn/spearpoint/skelly in Elysium. Acorn in Styx, since 5 hits from Hades is more HP than what skelly/cerberus gives you.
    Whatever god keepsake needed for your build in Tartarus, Owl Pendant in Asphodel if you haven't already picked it in Tartarus.
sly remnant
#

aight so savior tough louts are difficult when combined with athena trial

rain sedge
#

idk about you, but if I don't get my secondary god on tartarus I'd pick it over athena there

gaunt fiber
#

From Schad guide to Nyaanyaa's

rain sedge
#

but let me add the owl pendant thing

sly remnant
#

i def think if you are playing shield owl in asphodel is incorrect

mossy zinc
#

DDs is never incorrect. It's just an alternate path.

rain sedge
gaunt fiber
#

I would not recommend Aphrodite/Demeter

rain sedge
#

I'm keeping that for sure

gaunt fiber
#

Would take time to chill everybody

rain sedge
#

it's more for bosses

gaunt fiber
#

Aphro let it be safe not demeter

rain sedge
#

insta 10 chill on bosses give you so much more leeway

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah I guess it's good for bosses

rain sedge
#

it's more of a "last resort if you really struggle"

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah

rain sedge
#

remember new players struggle in bosses more

#

like

gaunt fiber
#

Low damage too

rain sedge
#

when I started, chill on chiron was godsent

gaunt fiber
#

low damage is longer rooms and fights

honest kernel
#

Demeter's damage is mediocre

sly remnant
honest kernel
#

But not bad

#

For her boons

rain sedge
gaunt fiber
#

I guess

rain sedge
#

we're not saying it's optimal here, it's just the last resort for new players

#

I'm keeping it

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah I'm not against lol

rain sedge
#

@honest kernel you're basically king, lmk if you got more advices you wanna put in the pin

#

dont want to mislead people with my casualness

gaunt fiber
#

Since there is no "Don't pick GY", it can't be that bad

rain sedge
#

oooooo

#

I could add that

#

"Not recommended: only psychos pick Guan Yu. Ping @gaunt fiber for more details"

gaunt fiber
#

We are a bunch to play GY here

honest kernel
#

The one that jumps to me straight up is TD3

#

It's not just that you need to be fast : At that level, if you aren't super on point, sack rng will screw you

#

TD2 is much more appropriate, IMO

gaunt fiber
#

Beginners will struggle with that but you have to get good at some point

#

I mean

#

No heat in TD, where do you put it?

honest kernel
#

TD2 as a starting point is fine

rain sedge
#

yeah the problem is the core heat is only 19, so they need 13 more

honest kernel
#

TD3 is where it gets shaky

rain sedge
#

which is why I put the "easier" in quotes

gaunt fiber
#

But since Eris is recommended

#

TD3 is free right

rain sedge
#

I did get 4 sacced a lot during my 32 runs, I didn't feel anything was... super bad timer wise

#

I think there was one sword that I didnt get double edge and it was shaky

#

yeah, recommended weapon is eris

#

I'd take TD4 for that lol

mossy zinc
#

Losing to sack RNG requires less gitting gud than dealing with 3 Heat in something else.

sly remnant
#

i kinda agree with nyaanyaa

#

it is an awful player experience tho

honest kernel
#

There's also the argument to be made about Death Defiances over Stubborn Defiance

#

On how it can make a player play overall

rain sedge
#

I mean, if you ask whether it's easier for a new player to take 3 more HL and lose 60% of eHP compared to "if you get 4 sacced which is 1/8 time you lose" I think they pick the second one

honest kernel
#

Former's gonna make the player play safer than the latter

sly remnant
#

there's always the 3 DDs EM4 option

#

that was how i did 32 at firsst

gaunt fiber
#

Maybe you should add the simple tip about suiciding to heal from SD

#

dunno if it's here

sly remnant
#

with FO0 its pretty manageable

honest kernel
gaunt fiber
#

oh ok

mossy zinc
#

I don't really get picking DDs or SD when RI4 is free heat.

gaunt fiber
#

I feel like EM4 is dangerous

#

even at FO0

rain sedge
honest kernel
#

EM4 at 32 ? nah

rain sedge
#

it's less about DD or SD, it's more about 4 heat from LC4

#

l,ike, I'm trying to keep the core heat small so people have flexibility, but if it's too small, they'll get confused and pick bad heat

mossy zinc
#

You can have 4 Heat from LC4 and 8 Heat from RI4.

#

It's a good core.

#

Less thinking about healing or finding Patroclus, too.

#

More thinking about gameplay.

#

It frees the mind.

gaunt fiber
#

Btw I'm a Clyclops jerky select gamer now

#

I wish it would last more than 10 encounters to have it against dad

fathom cloud
#

Hourglass new meta

gaunt fiber
#

pog

#

Actually

rain sedge
#

would it work? since it's not technically a charon well item

gaunt fiber
#

I don't think so

mossy zinc
#

No.

gaunt fiber
#

unfortunately

#

Just buff Jerky

#

Dark touch of styx is OP

#

lemme get that buff longer

rain sedge
#

oh god imagine

#

bone hourglass at elysium extends touch of styx dark

#

you dont even have to worry about sac anymore

#

(well, unless you run EM4)

gaunt fiber
#

Nah it would only affect jerky for balance purposes

rain sedge
#

BaLaNcE

gaunt fiber
#

like

rain sedge
#

have someone told amir that there's more build than those that relies on attack?

#

still confused why jerky only give attack bonus

gaunt fiber
#

"styx rooms are encounters but actually no"

mossy zinc
#

Touch of Styx Dark is just I'll help you when you're dead.

#

Thanks, but . . . I already died.

gaunt fiber
#

so you're saved

spring kettle
#

Tbf, there are other well items that affect special and cast

#

Patty just doesn’t offer those

sly remnant
#

god imagine a patty braid

rain sedge
#

still won't make casts viable at 40+ but cool

sly remnant
#

casts are fine until 45

honest kernel
#

I'd take a Patty chimaera jerky please

rain sedge
#

beo doesnt count as cast

sly remnant
#

?

#

how do you figure?

#

and talos is good too according to nyaanyaa

#

i trust her talos advice

rain sedge
#

well cast is more like

sly remnant
#

my 40 was pretty free

rain sedge
#

I cast my bloodstone, pew pew it goes somewhere, I pick it up

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, Talos is pretty good at 45.

rain sedge
#

beo is more like

honest kernel
#

I've almost done shackles 50 heat Demeter fists, I could see Talos being good

rain sedge
#

I put an ammunition into my portable nuclear bomb, boom it goes wherever I go

gaunt fiber
#

it's shield

#

and it explodes

#

it seems op

honest kernel
#

You are basically playing CS:GO but you are the one that plants the bomb

sly remnant
#

i mean i buy braids and stones, i get mirage shot, i get chaos cast buffs, i get poms

#

those are all staples of cast builds

honest kernel
#

And have a swat shield, somehow

gaunt fiber
#

and detonates it instantly

#

screw the timer you win

honest kernel
#

... actually a more apt comparaison would be a demoknight from TF2 that uses the Pool Caber

sly remnant
honest kernel
#

And it crits each time

gaunt fiber
#

yeah unlucky

rain sedge
honest kernel
#

Don't use that one, use the demoknight one please

rain sedge
#

TF2 is dead so we should deprecate all reference to it

honest kernel
#

That one actually uses a shield and charges into stuff to nuke 'em

gaunt fiber
#

yeah ngl that CSGO comparison only has the bomb lol

honest kernel
#

Brain took a leap and a half for that one lol

gaunt fiber
#

Did you sleep?

honest kernel
#

no

gaunt fiber
#

NICE

honest kernel
#

That might explain why

gaunt fiber
#

only 9-10 hours

#

you got this

rain sedge
#

I think this is the perfect time to do the 59 baj

honest kernel
#

It is absolutely NOT

rain sedge
#

great things happen when you don't sleep

honest kernel
#

I'm basically at the point

#

Where my brain's becoming a potato

That's when I usually stop playing

mossy zinc

That's when Eris players start playing.

bullying

gentle bridge
#

dang, i cant even get past tartarus consistently, even with eris. i have a lot of learn hahaha

mossy zinc
#

I think my first 32 took me like a week.

honest kernel
#

Real talk, Eris takes some getting used to before the autopilot kicks in

#

It won't save you from getting hit constantly

#

And I don't mean "autopilot" in a bad way

gaunt fiber
#

idk I played it 5-6 times at low heat then one shot 32

honest kernel
#

that 5-6 times is, to most players, still a bunch

gaunt fiber
#

well

#

lol

rain sedge
gaunt fiber
#

I mean it's a rogue lite but I guess

rain sedge
honest kernel
#

I'm saying this because it's a risky weapon by nature, compared to say Bow, Spear or Shield

rain sedge
#

eris is risky compared to spear? damn

honest kernel
#

Going from those to Rail will take a bit of time to adjust

honest kernel
mossy zinc
#

I don't know if everything in the room dies in 3 seconds is inherently risky.

gaunt fiber
#

Risky for your fun

rain sedge
#

your existence is risky to my fun

honest kernel
#

When Eris isn't like maxed, it can take some time to actually kill later rooms

gentle bridge
mossy zinc
#

I don't think we're talking non-maxed aspects.

honest kernel
#

Maxed aspect, yeah sure

mossy zinc
#

Do BP2 instead of FO.

rain sedge
#

DC is free on eris

#

it'll give you 60% more effective HP

mossy zinc
#

Tbh JS3 is also free on Eris.

rain sedge
#

do zeus keepsake for attack, aim for jolted, hope for legendary

#

and use owl pendant in asphodel so you get divine dash

#

and extra DD (see pinned post)

gentle bridge
#

alright, will try those. i also think i need to be better at timing the eris buff. sometimes when i special i dive str8 to an attack just for theh buff

rain sedge
#

4s is a decent time, take your time

#

TD3 is very lenient on eris

holy crap i shouldve turned off attack at cursor all this time

honest kernel
#

With aim assist on, I suppose ?

#

It's a good change for playing Eris

sly remnant
#

Wait why turn off attack at cursor for eris?

honest kernel
#

So you can play more akin to controller

#

And just go guns blazing

#

Assuming aim assist is on

#

Since you don't have to re-position the cursor constantly when you dash over enemies

#

Can be a lot easier this way

sly remnant
#

Ah that makes sense

gentle bridge
#

yeah

#

it helped me a ton cause i can focus on kiting. i dont play on controller cause it hurts my thumbs a lot

gentle bridge
#

damnit. got to hades and clumsily dashed to a green vase

#

but attack at cursor off did make the difference

#

i feel a lot more confident taking on 32 heat now. thanks everyone 🙂

also keep in mind that the "average" that they collect is from people who use the website. I imagine people that go to a reaction time website is going to be a little self selecting for people with good reaction times already

i want my rightful place at 10+ on the reaction time PR

No that's for the site I linked to before. The new link has accurate numbers.

shy plinth
#

Oh

gaunt fiber
#

Reaction time on this kind of website is kinda bs

mossy zinc
#

?

#

It gives you an accurate time of your response + input lag.

gaunt fiber
#

Just have to activate my bot skills to predict one

#

And there you go you're insane

mossy zinc
#

lol okay.

#

Just predict 5 random times in a row.

gaunt fiber

Why not

#

i'd say my reaction time is better in game tho

mossy zinc
gaunt fiber

When you have to lesser call a sweep or you're dead

#

I feel like it

sly remnant
#

i mean these reaction times are just fun benchmarks

#

they are indicative of almost nothing

mossy zinc
gaunt fiber
#

Nah it's just that reaction time alone is not enough

sly remnant
#

it might give you some idea of a person's reaction time but at some point it becomes about training for the benchmark instead of improving reaction time

#

they are fun to do tho

mossy zinc
#

Practice effect on simple response time tests is not very high.

true fable
#

well

#

hmm

sly remnant
#

sure but what is simple response test training? its not actively improving your skill in a game

true fable
#

there's something to be said for priming effect in game

i think astaos is right

but it's a fun thing to have

sly remnant

they are fun benchmarks but there are just too many external factors

I don't know what priming has to do with this lol.

because I'm losing the fidelity of the movement from PC, but would like to keep my mouse-special-aiming

I think most people play on PC with pad.

At least here.

"pad"?

the thing with hestia is that its a super good weapon but it kinda forces certain pacts

it happens

dying to furies on 32 heat is kind of a classic

idk man

the controls feel quite weird

I'm considering the controller + mouse combo but it's awkward

mossy zinc

You can probably just use your Switch pad.

gaunt fiber

Switch pad is like a controller

but worse

because it's smaller and it can do one hand

lemme check if you can do that on pc

and then just do other things

No I mean just your Switch pad, not pad + mouse lol. Since you're used to your Switch controller.

where are you in the run

like location

mark

it'll make you go a lot faster

still mark i think

true fable
#

pomming deadly strike doesnt really do that much tbh

solemn pulsar
#

if only it pommed the crit chance, though that would be too powerful i guess

tepid mural
#

it should do that tbh

#

doesn't have to be much but 1-2% more crit chance would make it feel a lot better

rain sedge
#

PP pom does 1% per pom

sly remnant
#

pp is also global

solemn pulsar
#

i'd be fine with it if they ditched the attack boost altogether and just made the crit chance big. You could even it out so it's the same effective damage (1% crit chance is ~2% damage boost), but crits enable all the secondary artemis boons

gaunt fiber
#

Ok

#

little test

#

let's curse this one

#

the setup is just godlike

sly remnant
#

if you lose this one honestly i think its a throw

#

not a curse

rain sedge
#

what's the second hermes boon?

solemn pulsar
#

losing with guan yu is never a throw

rain sedge
#

other than the epic hyper sprint

solemn pulsar

that's either attack or special speed

rain sedge

what's the hammer?

solemn pulsar
#

charged skewer

Charged

if you lose this might as well retire astaos

You might not get to sell it, though.

Roll for DD sounds good.

Or Call maybe.

i got it again lmao

i cannot make this up

but poseidon 32 is pretty free and much more fun

also got last stand though

I do prefer Poseidon, but 'free' seems like a stretch haha

some people love it! I.. don't

rain sedge

hunting blades is a mistake

mossy zinc

Only person I've seen here who doesn't think Excalibur is fun must be Schad.

somber leaf
#

oh? for exit wounds?

#

it's my least favourite sword but it is still fun 😛

tepid mural
#

arthur is super fun

#

wym

rain sedge
#

flood shot, into an artemis core (I'd take special if I can, but attack works too), so you can get mirage shot. exit wounds for SURE is priority, and take pressure point or support fire to allow you to get fully loaded

#

and you can just get other supporting boons like rupture, wave pounding, etc on your flood shot. 20-40% damage vs bosses is super nice

#

chaos boons etc as you need it

#

it's really good

rain sedge
mossy zinc
#

But you're an Eris main, so your opinion doesn't count. squirtnya

rain sedge
#

maybe less fun is lucifer? but I was doing soaker. gilga is definitely absolute bottom, zag spear might be bottom 2 as well

#

I forgot eris mains lack the masochistic tendencies of guan yu players

true fable
#

arthur is quite fun

#

lucifer is also very fun

#

bzzzzzzzzzzzzz

sly remnant
#

no. you shouldn't even be offered it

true fable
#

you can get it

#

you just cant get exit wounds with nonlodging casts

#

it does work

#

dont sell

#

they take the damage a fixed amt of time later

sly remnant
#

oh holy crap

#

TIl

#

TIL

mossy zinc
#

No, it's Charp.

rain sedge
#

what's a "fixed amount of time" later

mossy zinc
#

When the bloodstone dislodges.

rain sedge

is it the 15s of the standard dislodge time

true fable

i guess so if thats the standard dislodge time

gaunt fiber
rain sedge

I wanna say something mean but I think I've done the daily quota

so... good job astaos

gaunt fiber

sly remnant

is it cheating to buy from well with hourglass and then swap in acorn

rain sedge
#

you can't right

#

you can only swap keepsake once

sly remnant
#

nah i used hourglass for elysium

#

lmfao didn't matter

#

4 sack into triple bfly ball

#

ah well

#

thats the fight

somber leaf
rain sedge
#

flood shot is optimal. yes poseidon over artemis

#

the reasoning is kinda complex, lmk if you're interested

true fable
#

unfortunate 4 sack

#

good practice though

honest kernel
true fable
#

mightve been doable with no EM4

#

EM4 in 1:30 seems hard

sly remnant
#

hey with beo its possible

#

you'll have to go balls to the wall tho

true fable
#

nah

#

played sloppy

#

GGs maxy

#

mightve been possible with perfect play but i got frustrated with low dmg

#

breaking wave doesnt really do anything vs dad

sly remnant
#

it was gonna be hard in 1:30

rain sedge
# honest kernel can i know as well

well, with the cast options, here are your options
dio, ares, demeter is non-lodging
zeus doesnt consistently lodge (and therefore, make you lose exit wounds damage)
aphrodite is quite short range which can be dangerous for beginners, and have no supporting boons
athena is cool - but kinda slow, and have less good supporting boons than poseidon. You have to fish for lightning phalanx to bring it to parity with poseidon. You could make the argument that it unlocks athena for divine dash + dd, but at 32 that's not really necessary.
artemis is good damage, good supporting boon, but ultimately single target. You might get away with it with JS0, but poseidon is so much more consistent.
so we're left with poseidon. Supporting boons give extra damage from rupture, + damage to boss, if you slam to barrier you might get more damage from boons. and it unlocks mirage shot

true fable
#

oh Gz

sly remnant
#

grats

#

@true fable straight up idk if its possible but i figured i'd encourage you in case it was

true fable
#

that's fair

#

TY

rain sedge
#

in terms of why poseidon over artemis first, ultimately the reasoning is you want to get a cast boon as quickly as you can in tartarus, since you are at your weakest point. artemis you want for mirage shot, exit wounds, and fully loaded - none which you need in tartarus yet

#

90% of mobs will die in 3 poseidon casts in tartarus, so exit wounds is not necessary

#

it's used to finish off mobs with more HP that have 3 casts lodged in them

#

the only hard fight is furies

#

so yeah, poseidon into artemis is the best keepsake combo for 32 poseidon

true fable
#

the double spin caught me off guard a lot

#

very used to ducking single spins atm

somber leaf

I'm definitely curious, and oh you just typed ot

but dedge is never bad

true fable

hammers dont matter but yeah dedge/piercing wave

super nova kinda

somber leaf
#

woah. got piercing wave, epic poseidon cast, and immediate exit wounds haha

rain sedge

maybe the one where your special is bigger is convenient? double nova maybe?

does zag always cast in front of himself?

okay.. Poseidon swordi s suuuuper strong. didn't get mirage cast, but got it my first attempt with Flood cast

Theoretically this would also help with then dashing out of the lava faster

assuming you have 2 dashes yeah
