hmm
i think 50 heat zag sword might be harder
In this gif: Zag Rail when you ignore Spread Fire.
xD
Tail just wasting time getting a billion IQ to do powershots when he could just hold down Q and win in his sleep smh
There's a Q in IQ.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
"I Q"
Coincidence i think not
Its a sign from above
then flurry jab 50
maybe i should try rama 50
it’s so fashionable all of a sudden
@rain sedge What weapons have you gotten to 50? Or is this the beginning of that effort
Other than Rail
rama has a big wide charge thingy— it’s basically beowulf!
Yeah, a lot of people pronounce it like "Eek!", so they don't realize there's a Q in there, but it's actually pronounced "I Q".
just rail, I'm a casual after all
lmao
hence the name
the victory screen would look quite good with 6x50
I'm gonna seed stuff though for sure
who got time to reroll for flurry jab with AP
I get PTSD from seeding.
real
i briefly had the beautiful 6x40
my victory screen has an ugly 53 now 😦
then i ruined it with beo 50
Tailesque is doomed
thats a beautiful number
idk, it looks weird
prime is just math talk for ugly
there i said it
take that, every mathematician ever
peepohappy
did you just change your name to 97 just to mess with me
no it was always 97
oh
Yeah, it was always 97. What did you think it was?
idk lol
97 was always my discord name. but my server nickname was “:)”
at one point i was also 91
Are we getting gaslit
Ohok did you change your avatar
Ah
Y'all need help.
Now you're Thanatos
You'd need to hit anything first.
Losing to than is mega feel bads
What said I was talking about Than? 
dying in than room feels worse 😦
sometimes it just spawns really bad enemies
and I keep dodging to let than takes care of it
and he just... doesn't
Lmao, the feeling when you know your jank build can't beat Than so you run around and wait for him to do everything for you.
Than rooms in Elysium are scary.
sometimes i screech out loud at than to kill certain enemies
have you.. uh.... seen lili's ME zag rail run?
“than, kill that chariot. than! the chariot! than you can one shot things, kill the stuff with the most health it’s only fair!”
MFW Than targets a baby shade in Elysium instead of the armored chariot
I feel like someone here committed themselves to doing ME Eris at some point, but I can't remember who
new meta
I don't watch speedruns unless m looking for something very specific, so no.
yeah like, speedruns are cool but there’s so many of them
how does anyone keep up with all that
zag rail was the "aspect of the week" last week and he got a sub 7 ME zag rail run he was very ashamed of
thx
bright did it at 40 heat a few days ago, and i did 40 heat ME Hestia the same day
I faintly remember hearing about that run.
shackle is a thing now
The point wasn't that other builds don't work, just that other builds work better on other rails.
It is. Hi! 
hi 
shackle has 2 main issues:
- damage does start to fall off around elysium, since you might have been lucky enough to pick up some good boons / poms by then otherwise. in AP2 land, shackle is consistent DPS though
- no defensive keepsake for EM3 or hades fight, which unless you're actually good at the game, makes them very difficult
but shackle buff was big, made it actually viable
Yeah for sure shackle is very competitive now
i feel like shackle AP2 might be a valid build for hestia 45
probs not the easiest tho idk
yeah hades without acorn is scary for sure 
my play for AP2 hestia is to force artemis/aphrodite in tartarus, since hestia naked damage carries fine through tart
then if you don't get your preferred attack boon in tart, you'll have a few rolls for it in the next few biomes from keys
and switch to shackle until you get the attack boon basically
how consistently can you get an attack doing that?
this is also a strong strat at 50 when you probably take RI1, since losing dark foresight = more blue laure rooms = MORE KEYS
i’m no super familiar with AP2 rng
are you all running TD3
and if you don't do RI1 you have 4 rolls which is decent chance
but i’m looking to push hestia 50 soon
I strongly prefer TD2. Rooms are fun.
AP2 TD3 is big sad for me. Chaos will sometimes just make big stinky on your run.
for a fast weapon like hestia i’d defs look at TD3 for 45
but you’d be able to work without it for sure
yeah I just need to practice and unrust a bit and it can work
probably
and if I get good elysium rooms :p
it wounds my pride to do td2 rather than 3
same
i still sometimes do it tho
bunch of my 40s have TD2
being able to just waltz through a 5 sack is really relaxing
also its the only way to beat the game with hades spear unless you get good hammers
:^)
:^)
Question: up to what point is guan yu reeeeally viable/easy? Speaking as a pretty not great player
works pretty well up to 40
its viable up to 50 imo
after 40 things get hard for most aspects
it's under 25% chance for your first boon, and even less for subsequent boons
depends what you mean by “viable” ig
we're not counting hestia in most aspects
it's the biggest reason I don't do unseeded 56
Strat is just charged skewer right, or is there something I’m missing?
charged skewer or merciful end
if possible
also I find it funny 2 people who likes TD2 are the 2 speedrunners
issue is you cant force hammers like boons
"biggest" reasons for not doing 56 lmao
its nice to take a break every now and then
but i did do all those eris clears on JS3 TD3
I see you megging witches at 40, it's not taking a break
love how y’all do 40 heat for a nice relaxing break
have more faith in your aspect schad its busted
I've always said this and I've always agreed
yeah you can run stuff like dio attack
its relaxing
40 heat is so flexible
genuinely one of the most fun heat levels imo
I've gotten to last phase dad at 56, I know I can do it given enough tries
but resetting over 4 times after every death just to get lightning strike?
that's a no for me
No I have faith lmao, just the relative perspective of having a singular reason why one can't do 56 heat.
try it yourself. whenever it starts to get hard, youve found the point it stops being easy
its completely subjective
Aight, sounds reasonable. For merciful end you want doom on the special weak on atk I assume?
doom atk , athena spec and dash
the artist formerly known as ":)" coming through with the big brain stuff
Got it, thanks! And also I just want to say I’m amazed at y’all and being ‘chill’ on 40, that’s amazing
GY Serrated Point does big chunky damage but there's an obvious cost to safety
you'll get there
it’s mostly bright
@gaunt fiber you might get an apprentice soon
Bless y’all
GY was never easy .
ohokwy youre there too
speaking for myself, 40 is pretty hard
havent you done 50 though
you dont ever finish grinding the entire day for sub 7 and think "low tolerance 40 heat chiron sounds like a good time"
i definitely can’t do 40 reliably
lmao i’m not a speedrunner
i don’t even know what a sub 7 is
imagine getting sub 7
same with ledger
9+ min plus gang here
with my mighty times of checks notes very slow
I submitted my 50 from yesterday to join the 50 unseeded board lmao. I got faster than Tail's literal slowest entry!
its kind of funny how it evens out at 50
like my 50 time is pretty unimpressive among the general 50 heat clears
oh you did 50? I didn't see this message
grats!
my 50 time is very slow for an eris gamer
54 yikes
My 50 time was like 26:11 lmao
did not see that coming
ledger did 50 ages ago
That was very seeded
oh yeah seeded that’s right
I think 2 days ago? I got 50 unseeded for the first time
wasnt that just seeded for RV
I think I was the 6th person who got 50 ever though
poggers
its funny because
i remember joining this channel
and just being amazed that ledger had done chaos at 40
i kept timing out at 32
now instead i time out on chaos at 50
;_; we all time out on Chaos at 50 lol
is it practical to run TD2 at 50
Yeah my run was TD2
i meant for chaos
Oh lmao
EM4 with chaos would be a slog lol
i mean i’ve never tried it so ig idk
chaos is slowest early game and eysium imo
I've only done EM4 FO2 on 3 aspects, but Chaos was one of them. Shielding op
maybe i should
chaos also takes years vs furies
Imagine needing a mirror
I can't do EM4 FO2 on Rama. I don't understand when I'm supposed to press anything other than Dash lol
i mean RI3 on non beo shields is pretty ok imo
its the RI2 part that hurts me more than the RI3 part
i miss me 50 health
I'd say the weapon really requires some time to get used to. Otherwise, it's pretty good and there's a lot to learn which why I'm not bored of it
And you learn twice as fast since you take twice the damage wait...
^^^
i need to play GY
it makes me so much better at the game
it’s the boot camp of aspects
it is
Tbh yeah
flaws in your approach = "oh, I see, I am a garbage fire"
there are risks possible on other aspects that GY simply cannot handle lol
also GY taught me how to use serrated point well
when i have serrated point i just hope everything’s dead by the time i run out of dashes
otherwise i’m screwed
I think Hades does a better job of teaching good Serrated Point habits lol, since you can afford to get hit a couple of times to screw up so you don't have to get the hammer again
Yeah you have like... a little under a second to separate the dash from the strike
It lets you dash back and strike forward, similar to Hestia's play loop
yah
quite safe is a bit of a stretch
i think its p safe
Unless I'm going full f-it-yolo I do not burst all of my dash strikes on an enemy lol
anything without armor is stunlocked and anything with armor gets shredded quickly
you need h sprint pretty bad imo
but other than that it actually feels pretty ok
serrated point is the triple dash attack, right?
Yeah
yee
Yeah but unfortunately there's more than one enemy per room
i think... i think this is exactly what i do
Lol it's tempting because of how Merciful End plays to do that, but you die for it
ME GY good as it turns out
i haven't memorized what ME could mean?
OH
its more hammer proof
thaaaaaat's the ares/athena?? (?)
yeah
TD3 doesnt feel good for me rn, dying just bc you got saviors
let’s just keep chaining two letter acronyms to confuse newcomers
deflect attack instantly activate doom effects
ME GY OP
oh my
Lol, I imagine that's the reaction new players get the first time they enter this channel and see pact sets
add some pacts here to confuse more
i should go back and clip my dad fight from my GY ME attempt with heroic dashes and impending
lol Ledger
i can only remember ocean's bounty as op... i think that's a thing
im pretty sure i saw 2000+ doom crits
o_o
Yeah the numbers can go high
ME good
ME GY OP, JS CP TD EZ PZ
Do you just like, play it basically exactly the same as Malphon ME? Doom attack, Divine Flourish + Dash and yolo?
yeah
But you're still using special
still dash strike dash strike special though
yeah
you use special whenever you run out of dashes
Oh right, GY special without Charged Skewer is still good lmao
Going ME once you have Charged Skewer is big high roll flex
Yeah any heat be like that
special is also an extra ME proc sometimes
charged skewer also lets you chuck an uncharged special faster
Yeah
which i imagine is useful for ME
ye
This sounds fun I'll probably try that out, GY is probably my next 40 anyway
Can't go wrong with an owl pendant start
just do what i did; get charged skewer chamber 1 and first try it
wait op was owl pendant the whole time?
lol
OP OP
lol
confusion
owl pendant start is pretty good
it all makes sense
unconfusion
you just take epic divine flourish or divine dash
or the epic divine strike for the secret deflecting donut build
gross
i've only been trying high-ish heat for the past few days so i'm still not so uh... good at it
takes practice
i've just been using the bone hourglass
My classic struggle on Malphon is taking Merciful End vs. Divine Dash. One of them means I have a dead boon until I see Athena again and the other means I'll have the resources to finish the run but I'll have to engage my brain
amateur
i take ME every time
i swear i’ve seen you argue that literally every attack boon is actually good on GY at this point
lmao
dash strike dash upper is still really good
TEMPEST STRIKE
for activating ME
You're right actually ohokwy
but what could be bad tbh
i usually just go for quick spin on guan yu and then only use the spin attack for the rest of the run
well if you get poseidon start you can just throw it on spec
There's nothing wrong with that appraoch, it's actually quite good, but it's very slow, and at some point everyone needs to use some combination of Tight Deadline pacts
ah
I'm sure you can go TD3 with a spin build
but you're not spinning all the time anyway
(td3?)
tight deadline
OH
Tight Deadline. They're stickied in this channel
5 minutes per biome
or 7
i've been avoiding tight deadline because scary
aaa thank you
Yeah, focusing on speed when you're newer is not ideal. Focus more on mechanics and you know... fun. It's a video game.
if you check your times you’ll prolly find you’re within TD1 already
and TD2/3 will come with practice and taking free rooms more consistently
timers freak me out in games but i also wanna check out higher heat so
TD2/3 will come as you naturally learn how to kill enemies more efficiently, and know what rooms you should take, and what boons are important to make builds work
It's scary but also fun imo
If you just leave it on it becomes part of the game
i like playing with some urgency
Yeah gotta go fast
It's also kind of a nice indicator as to how well you're doing sometimes
As a general rule you should always have TD1 active. If you can't clear that it's a good smoke test that something is very wrong
i mean the highest i've really been going for is 32 heat and right now that's even too much so... i'm scared for where this will take me
Too much right now
whats the highest you have done so far?
Doesn't have to be that way forever, and TD will make your runs easier most of the time
i mean i got through at 16 heat
thats pretty good
Almost every other heat pact is more punishing than the first two ranks
16>32 is a pretty huge jump imo
TD1 also gets rid of survival rooms, which are trash. It's arguably just easier always to play with TD1 lol
try out some stuff in the 20s
i mean i'm trying to get the skelly statues
theres also a basic guide to 32 pinned in the channel
big agree
ahhh thank
this is the reason i originally learned to run TD
if youre having trouble with pact setup or builds or what have you
check pins, i need to remember this
survival rooms just annoyed me so much lol
They're such a pain
And really TD2 becomes pretty natural/free with even a little bit of practice
i want to see what the highest heat survival room looks like
wait td gets rid of survival rooms :o
TD3 is the really punishing one
ive done some hellosh ones on 32 heat
BP2 FO survival rooms sound scary
I don't think I've done TD0 with BP2 FO2, but I have to imagine survival rooms are pretty much an autoloss lol
JS3 triggered
bp2 fo2... run in circles i guess???
how many enemies would be on screen in a JS3 survival room lol
Someone science this out and see how many cloner witches they can get on the screen at the same time. Just hide in a corner with a shield up lmao
there’s already so many normally
Advanced strat: TD0, Skelly companion
does science
too many
wait would td0 just be no td?
ive done survival rooms with FO2 BP2 and DC2
Correct
trying to wrap my head around all this
its pretty terrifying
Yeah
If you hear a pact with 0 at the end it just means turning it off
not a pact combination i would recommend
you just fall into it with randomized challenges sometimes
Describing pacts as 0 in this channel is pretty common, as the higher you go, it's a far more relevant question what you do not take vs. what you do
Especially TD
why on earth where you running FO2 BP2 DC2 and no TD
randomized heat challenge
Thanks
ah
i think it may have been JS2-3 aswell
i tried dc2 once and was like "no thank you please no"
This is a very uncommon opinion at your relative experience, but you are correct. Extremely few aspects can deal efficiently with DC
But for some reason most new players just shrug it off as one of the easiest pacts
DC is probably the most aspect dependent pact yeah?
that's where the deflecting donut build shines
Like fists/rail/chiron/rama don't care much
CF is up there imo
HECK dc
chiron still does imo
Beo player detected
dc looks scary to me because it means i'll waste certain attacks if i try them
do you have a catchy name for every GY build
if so, that’s inspiring
Yes but half of them are french
Chiron cares a lot about DC lol. Well, at least the first DC. There is no difference between DC1 and 2. Your bow especially if you get Twin Shot with Heartbreak Strike still makes up a huge chunk of your damage
how else is he gonna get people to play that weapon
like if i'm trying to use the funny gun i'd be scared of dc because i could easily waste my special damage
there’s like 500 beo players and we don’t have any catchy names

Actually, no. But for a spin build it should be easy. Frosty donut, deflecting donut, donut of doom.
lol
okay that’s good
lmao
@minor merlin you don't have to figure everything out now lol. Really just find an aspect you enjoy playing, and figure out the pacts that aren't that bad. You'll get naturally better over time.
Yeah like the best advice is "play a lot"
ah!
and stay away from AP/RI!
play a lot is certainly something i can do
the dark side of the pact
Also I strongly recommend watching Tailesque vods to see really high level play for habits to emulate
And I strongly recommend watching Retrash vods to see things that should not work but somehow do
ap and ri look intense
It is
Oh, and some things to help you out if you haven't stumbled into them on your own. Only take Dark Foresight in your mirror. Same with Fated Persuasion
But the precision of those defensive dashes is something I try to do
hes just so much more patient than anyone else playing at 50
archery donut, weak donut, wet donut
okay i think i’m bad at this
Yeah
It would be "Love donut" imo
In this channel you will only see people take Stubborn Defiance, but no huge rush on learning that if you're not comfortable. It's terrible anyway until you're certain you can do bosses in 0-1 DDs
i've noticed that one of the most important (??? i don't actually know anything) abilities in this game is the power to choose what comes next, so ap and ri look o_o
actually i think “archery donut” is almost so bad it’s good
Gotta hone these skills but I feel some potential
OH WAIT STUBBORN DEFIANCE
it used to be the only thing i used and then i was like "i wanna die to mr. funny father more" and i forgot about it
oops
The setup you probably want to learn if you want to progress in heat is EM3, MM, FO2, BP2, TDx. At some point, to make that easier, you will probably want to learn LC4 (with Stubborn Defiance)
Also note that if you go FO0 to FO2 you will die a lot lot lot lot lot
it’s actually quite bad tho
I went FO0 to FO1 and still struggled
is it?
FO2 will catch up to you in Elysium when you meet our friend the bull
Yeah... there's no real way around it. Everything will kill you with FO2. You need to relearn the game lol
I did FO 0>2
dark foresight is very good
Pain it was
RI1 just takes away all the control you have over your build
i've been trying fo2 because i'm afraid of everything else
You get fewer boons, worse boons, and no rerolls
RI1 is worse than any other RI level other than 4 lol
you say goodbye to that anyway on high heat
FO2 doesn't show it's ugly side until you get BP2 or EM3
Mfw I saw Asterius charging for the first time at FO2
At a certain point you need to take it but RI1 is something that's advised against below like mid 40s
well yeah but you dont need to take RI1 until like 40 heat MINIMUM
even with them you don’t need RI1 at 40
At least for me when I was learning the game, EM3 FO2 was probably the most dramatic brickwall
but RI1 is unequivocally bad because dark foresight is so broken busted
for an explanation of why
i've gotten used to EM stuff, but i'm concerned i won't make it much farther with FO2 on... guess i need to practice
i lowkey complain at DF if i don’t have five billion health at the end of a run
fo2 is a massive wall yea
that’s how broken it is
You can do it in steps too. You don't have to turn everything on at once. The pacts I listed are just the ones that probably require the most adjustment of play, they just radically alter the game experience.
okay
AP/RI excluded since they are the spawn of Satan and are specifically there for masochists
according to dataminers, dark foresight is even more busted than it seems on the tooltip
it says 20% more gold laurel
but it also shifts 20% fewer blue laurel rewards
for effectively 40% more gold laurel rewards
i mean, yeah that’s how percents work
well
otherwise it would have to add 20% more rooms
The buff to Dark Foresight was twofold. One, it just didn't work before lmao. And two, they doubled its effectiveness
it basically means you will have at most 2-3 meta reward rooms past tartarus
that is insane
lol yeah I remember it not working or something
Honestly I'm not sure why they decided to do both. We'll never know if 10% would have been sufficient. It feels bonkers now though, so no complaints.
And it's not like it matters past a heat threshold. You don't get nice things anymore.
yeh
i think they left it at 20% on purpose
i think it’s supposed to be the obvious choice
They should probably buff the rare % talent to be like... remotely competitive though
RI means you get less things in general
like, you switch to it when you’re done farming meta resources because they just get annoying after a while
AP means you get less specific things
Does it though? 6 is nuts
it’s not “+rare% vs. DF” it’s “getting meta resources vs. DF”
i agree that olympian favour could use a buff tho
RI is evil. Avoid all ranks as much as possible
maybe rarity should be better in general then dunno
I don't like when people suggest turning DF off for meta resources. I think with how much it helps you complete runs that you could probably accrue metas faster by just playing the game more with DF active
for me its just that rarity is so boon dependent
idk if i’d suggest it
That's really for like first 10 heat runs
i do not care about the rarity of a deadly strike
but i can see the argument
as long as it has a 15% chance to crit
i modded every boon to be common. you really feel the lower rarity
really really feel it
again, boon dependent
usually disappears with a pom tho
Yeah the argument def makes sense on the surface but yeah, I mean it's kind of impossible to tell lol. At the very least, not having DF on hamstrings blood/diamond/ambrosia progress
maybe olympian favour should actually give you more meta resources
its prob inevitable to have 1 side that works more consistently than the other one for high heat tbh
since someone is just gonna find a good strat and then everyone does the thing too
if it gave you extra meta resources, that would give it a buff and make it super clear what it’s niche is
so folks don’t take it thinking the rarity is better than DF when they’re not farming
idk
kind of an unavoidable point yeah
I think the way I'd put it is that the level of progression where you'd need DF off for meta resources is the same level where DF would not be unlocked
The hat is wise
D:
why schad eat hat
idk
prolly a cultural thing
part of a balanced diet maybe?
just throwing ideas around
RI is evil, but if you take one, you might as well take 2
Should change name to InedibleHat
... and if you take 2, you might as well take 3. And if you take— wait no go back
Losing 50 life and 25% damage by the end of the run...
It's mostly bad in tartarus and then also elysium and styx
But it's kind of fine in asphodel I guess
It was viable before. It's even better now. We were just starting to look into using it when they buffed it.
Lol, -50 life in Asphodel is pretty not fine
-50hp -100 gold - 20%damage is massive
Yeah kinda feel the hp loss ngl
Well yeah you're mostly naked at that point
but it probs effects the whole run more than i notice
Yeah, -25 HP is kind of a lot.
I actually found 54 beo much more consistent with RI1 CP2 DC1 than RI2 CP1 DC0
Guan Yu player has entered the chat
Yeah, optimizations at that high of heat are going to be a bit weird no matter what. CP in particular is pretty egregious
huh that’s super interesting
i mean, imo CP hurts beo less than most aspects
but still
Oh I have no idea for Beo, I just meant in general lol. CP1 is probably the most aggravating part of Hell Mode
oh i was replying to pseudo
RI2 hurts boss speed as much as the 2nd CP. FF ~= +15% hp
yeah i was thinking that
not to mention starting with twice as much health
and DC1 probably isn’t the worst in the world
dc is very annoying for timer, especially with a bad build because no rolls
but doable
makes sense when you say it, but i probably wouldn’t have thought of it
I didn't watch the 56/57 Hestia runs. Did they have DC on? How do you do that?
yeah anything’s gonna be annoying at 54 tho ig
pew pew pew
Yeah they used the alternate firing mode of Hestia
I did a bunch of RI2 attempts then won very quickly after I switched to RI1
Normal attacks LUL
eww. So pew pew (reload) PEW for every enemy?
No idea what they did. I didn't watch. 
Makes it more impressive I guess lol.
They reload before shooting, the rail glows and stuff dies
what's your best stygius heat?
Hadesprofessor's 57 hestia had HL5 LC4 CF2 JS3 EM4 CP2 BP2 MM UC FO2 HS RI2 AP2 TD3 ewwwwww
I guess AP2 isn't quite as punishing on Hestia
that’s actually no DC
Still a better pact than DC2.
say astaos, did you say something about hyper sprint being a go-to on GY
He ended up with heroic aph attack
they dont run DC for hestia lol
Okay, so yeah, that confirms my thought. pew pew reload PEW takes an actual eternity to do
yeah i remember Crepes saying that DC was just a no go at 50+
DC is a no go anywhere for hestia
and i was always like “can’t you just shoot a few rounds then snipe?”
it's always the worst heat to take
Was not me Noxalas, it was Bright saying it was really nice with serrated point (which is true). I'd take greatest reflex tho in general
yeah you don't take DC on hestia until like 61 heat haha
cheers!
I'll take whichever I see first out of Greatest Reflex and Hyper Sprint.
I haven't been offered > common Swift Strike on bow in a very very long time. It still does nothing right?
Why did I type Noxalas 
swift strike bad
^
No idea. Did you play Kingdom Hearts recently?
unless they patched it recently while i wasn’t paying attention it still does nothing yeah
this is usually what I go by
it only affects your normal attack
realized
Not crazy then, nice
not at all
Bow kappa
and since you're mostly using dash-strike it usually does nothing lol
no youre still crazy
Wait, so it does work on the standing attack draw speed?
hope that helps astaos
Nope, been a while. Love the series though
it should
Thanks bright
That's so weird lmao
yeah always has iirc
yeah super weird
just not dash strikes
tbf it would get weird
how do you make a dash strike faster on like
shield
or sword
Hestia Swift Strike meta
lol
idk but it’s clear how it would work for bow
bright I hate you now I run RR
mmm imagine heroic swift strike rama if it worked on dash strike
that would be nutty
heroic swift strike would make normal attacks worth it
My favorite is when my tiny lizard brain sees that I am in a very small but safe spot in Lernie's phase 3 but decides "BUT I NEED TO DASH STRIKE TO GET A FASTER CHARGE"
that’s where you get charged shot and minotaur rush, right?
mino + charge just turns shield into rama yeah
rama that's invincible while charging 
Rama used to have a chip on its shoulder but I don't think it has anything left to prove lmao
honestly true
@neat sonnet have you done a run for the challenge yet? 
while beo is still trying to live up to the legacy of +400% charged flight
@gaunt fiber have you? 
I dedicated my 50 Rama to Tailesque, who told me in no uncertain terms to play Special Rama
it can never be as good as it was in our memories
I saw.
Rama felt so cool to use when I unlocked it
I maxxed it out first cough
thank you hermes for swift strike
I'm working on it
the worst part about shackle start beo is it buffs the special so sometimes you actually use it
I felt like I was committing a sin to pick Relentless Volley over Triple Shot in room 1 lol, but i already had the Dio keepsake. It was fate
@timid kindle ohhh. With your name, you definitely gotta do a run for the challenge. 💕
i actually use special sometimes
like, when an enemy is on the other side of the map with 1hp
you can save like, half a second
your name is even more catgirl than mine is
what do the names mean
what's the challenge
why
Cat girl tier list
which challenge nyaanyaa?
I come up with 1-2 Monthly Challenges for the community every month. The latest is pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat. It's a collaboration with Lady Aphrodite herself! 💕
aphrodite she- th-that's my boss ma'am
oh dang, I haven't seen, I will check it out right after!
Well, then you better listen to her request. 💕
aww court, I will dedicate a run immediately following this one
EEEE SHES ANIMATEd
I need the
emote but with the hearts that I've only seen online
I'm panicking she aa
excuse the lesbian she's going to need a minute
Is she contractually obligated to have the Eternal Rose on at all times?
I am because of dedication, but she's herself so she kinda is the rose
Lady Aphrodite? She can do whatever she pleases on her stream. 💕
I drew Aphrodite once but I got to a point in the drawing where I was too tired to keep going because it took a lot of willpower 
hey nyaa i went by aphrodite's request, so can you like tell her not to send 15 damage hearts my way 💕
Nyaanyaa doesn’t know what you’re talking about because she’s literally never chosen Aphrodite second
Lmao but really though. Not picking Aphro in Trials is big ballsy play
actually true
nyaanyaa who are you
that heart is like a shifter flamewheel
You can't even deflect it
always where you least expect it
I assume you can shield it though because shield
The Queen of Hades. 👸🏽
that's persephone
if I see Aphrodite vs. Artemis in a room together I literally just avoid it, I can't do it.,., I'd be betraying everything I stand for
so the heres the thing about beo special
its good in some situations
you can indeed shield it
but not all
because shield
and it encourages you to use it in places you shouldnt
i’m not crazy
yeah I now use it like twice per run instead of 0
beo special is almost useless unless you're actually doing a sepcial build
you should really use it in like 5% niche scenarios
almost being the operative word
but after it works once your brain wants you to use it again
it’s sometimes useful
and thats where you go wrong
okay that’s true lol
I only use it in tart for low health things far away and eyes in ely which decide to go out of bounds
you hit two witches with a special and then youre like
"oh i bet i could do that again"
“that enemy’s nearly dead i’ll just special it— oh, it’s not dead, i’ll just special it again— oh..”
spoiler alert lightning never strikes the same place twice
i was going to deadicate a run but i havent playred hades
oh
you’ve been in this community for a long time for someone who’s never played hades
What if you have Double Strike tho
yeah i just like to talk big game
Why are you hating on chiron tho
😠
it sucks
because chiron is slow, boring and dumb
then it strikes 3 times
But how does rigged know if he's never played
It's that bad
i cant wait to take a nap between my attack and special
rama is also slow but we're not ready for that conversation 👀
Nah it's slow, that's why you need merciful end and repulse shot
even based on src times which arent the end all be all
Fair point. All of these things are true
raME raME raME
Tail did 50 in like 12 minutes pretty sure rama is fast lol
Have you all not seen the meme
and tail has an 8:3x 40 heat
Yes
tail's 40 heat rama is faster than my any heat rama 😦
rama > chi > ron
What did Ron do
alcohol destroys communities
just like Chiron
Chiron best bow. 💕
nyaanyaa worst player
confirmed
wtf is this
name 1 chiron clear above like 4 heat
this is best guide i’ve ever read in my life
completely changed my view of rama
eye opening
i think i just suddenly began to use 75% of my brain after reading that
“boons are very important for a fast run” lmaooo
"yeah so you wanna get merciful end"
the best part about this is how it reads exactly like a serious guide by someone who doesn’t understand the game at all
on rama
That guide would make an excellent challenge category for next month lmao
do they expect you to use dash to proc ME??
the guide is by lili, the anyheat world champion
he knows the game real well
so what i’m saying is it’s 100% serious legit guide
definitely follow the advice
and remember: boons are important for a fast run
It uses real english and parseable game logic and everything
how often does lili actually play rama?
He wrote the guide
As much as me imo
Abyssal Blood for the extra safety
still struggling with 32 heat spear oooghhh girl help
this has to be satirical i refuse to believe this is a serious guide
Sup percy
Infernal Soul your cast is a big part of your damage since Rama damage is quite weak
you should use rama boy do i have the guide for you
achilles hunting blades is the way to go for 32 heat spear
it's serious. After reading It I managed to kill a numbskull on 64 heat on my first try
Have you checked the guide from Schad in pins?
you didn't question the "you need Exposed debuff for an ME build"?
It's a serious guide with good advice. Prove me wrong by making @daring hedge write a better guide.
oh?? i went for chiron for my bow clear, but rama is an all-time fave!
im just terrible with it. but i can try!
My 32 spear was with explosive shot cheese
Idk, Lili's guide said that you shouldn't use the special. It's quite bad
With hades spear
Abyssal Blood
Stubborn Defiance
High Confidence
you should definitely look at the seriously non meme guide up thread
which way do you wanna go, high confidence or low confidence
I feel bad when new players enter the channel when we're in full meme mode lol
Must be quite confusing
ill look into these, thank you!
yeah we are memeing
also i wouldnt call myself new ive beaten arthur 40 heat ewnfjrjfrjf
I heard Tailesque is releasing the guide on monday. I already sold my wife and divorced my house so I could have a screening of the guide release. If he cancels I will never be able to financially recover from this.
"FO2 is the way to go" 😭
it says FO-2
it is
not FO2
< unironically takes FO2
always FO2
No, but you did come to the channel for advice. It's a dangerous road to follow any of it when we're in peak form lol
i never realized until now that fo2 was actually free heat with rama
DJEJJKFJEIFJIRJFJIRJFR thats fair!!! have fun yall :]
and ill look into the serious guide, thank you sm!!
We behave most of the time ❤️
WhAt I dIdNT KnOW
thinkinh about the time i posted dionysus arthur
yeah jury summons is also really bad with rama
dio rama is great
pls help lili said take high confidence on rama but i’m not confident at all because of its low damage
what is this memery
LMAO
Some say it looks indistinguishable from #h1-builds-and-combat.
m not one of those people.
March's challenge? ExcaliBRRRR. Rules: 32 heat, must start Drunken Strike on Arthur, must take FO2
youre just built different
what do yall think of that
We want names
I WOULD UNIRONICALLY LOVE THAT HELP
"You should take abyssal blood for safety and high confidence for the damage. You should also take stubborn defiance because you'll die a lot"
just gotta gamble for that hermemes attack speed
so anyway, can Tail just sense people being wrong about rama or what
Some of these people might be bots.
anyway this is a really nice breath of fresh air because,,, some stuff is going down in my friend group so yea
I pinged him if you didn't notice lol.
I see... I'll investigate
ah that makes sense lol
It helps that we typically tag him when Special Rama is being discussed
smh everyone knows tailesque can smell you talking smack about rama
