we gotta call it special rama to distinguish it from regular boring bad rama that’s just terrible really

mossy zinc
#

Sick gif btw. Love it.

chilly sun
#

some say if you say sea storm rama before your mirror three time in a row at midnight he manifests in your house

solar maple
#

I can taste someone saying beo is a bad high heat weapon from across the globe

dire steppe
#

@daring hedge don't let me down

bright mango
#

Beo is like my favorite weapon now

halcyon flame
bright mango
#

I’ve used it so much this past week that it’s just awesome

daring hedge
#

on monday 👀

mossy zinc
chilly sun
#

how is beowulf a bad high heat weapon omg

solar maple
#

one of us

bright mango
#

I’m being sucked into the cult

halcyon flame
#

nyaa are you saying beo is bad

bright mango
#

Hellpppppp

dire steppe
#

people who dislike beowulf are flat earthers

bronze viper
#

This channel is operating on like 15 different layers of irony at the moment

chilly sun
#

its like. only bad with demeter and zeus from my experience

chilly sun
edgy arrow
#

another one claimed

mossy zinc
#

Y'all need to play different aspects. It's just Beowulf and Hestia and Rama in this channel.

halcyon flame
#

average beo fan vs average zag shield enjoyer

dire steppe
#

people who use curse of drowning beowulf are better than normal people

gaunt fiber
chilly sun
daring hedge
dire steppe
#

this isn't written in the tooltip but it's actually true that if you soak your computer in water curse of drowning does 5x damage

chilly sun
#

hiheihfierhirj HELP

dire steppe
#

quirky little easter egg

gaunt fiber
#

Bright hates fun aspects, it's actually a good indicator of what is good and cool

chilly sun
mossy zinc
dire steppe
#

did you know chiron actually has repulse shot built in

#

chiron users are repulsive

gaunt fiber
#

Wow

neat sonnet
#

question: when setting up ME, more worth to roll again for flourish or grab dash in tartarus? (I already have the attack)

daring hedge
#

evil rigged

dire steppe
#

blade dash

chilly sun
#

slicing shot

halcyon flame
neat sonnet
#

got it, thanks!

chilly sun
#

but yeah grab the special!

#

you can still decently activate it without the dash its just not crazy DPS

dire steppe
#

i want to fight the aspect of chirno

chilly sun
#

also i coached my friend who isnt very hades savvy through 30 heat!!! :]

dire steppe
#

tell savvy i said congrats

chilly sun
#

rnieriojerijgijer will do

edgy arrow
dire steppe
#

tell rnieriojerijgijer i said congrat

edgy arrow
#

your friend’s prolly the first person to clear it ever

bronze viper
chilly sun
#

ikr? they just didnt wanna take anything more on the pact

dire steppe
#

57 is more prime than 30

chilly sun
#

which. fair

solar maple
#

57 is the grothendieck prime

dire steppe
#

isnt it weird how 50% of us are bots

edgy arrow
#

how i count:
0
something something speedruns
32
40
45
50
aaaaaaaaaaaaa

#

those are all the numbers that exist

dire steppe
#

like bright01 definitely isn't human

solar maple
#

I'm not one to doubt grothendieck's mathematical expertise

gaunt fiber
#

Not bot here my good sir

halcyon flame
#

what's the worst aspect for high heat

bronze viper
halcyon flame
#

i wanna hear the general consensus

daring hedge
bronze viper
#

If anyone says anything other than Chiron you're a shill

bright mango
#

I fully realized how good beowulf was today when i beat em4 hades without losing any dd’s

chilly sun
#

hmmm

#

nemesis?

bronze viper
#

My brain can no longer process "worst aspect for high heat" since Retrash hit 54 with Zagius

#

Who knows anymore

daring hedge
#

beo is incredibly good vs EM4

bronze viper
#

Probably Rama

daring hedge
#

one of the best aspects for that specific fight

chilly sun
#

so true

solar maple
#

beo is absurd for EM4

chilly sun
#

one day someone is gonna beat 60 heat with rama like a nerd

bright mango
#

I like went into the fight with 1 dd and was scared

#

I normally lose like all my dds but didnt lose one with beo

chilly sun
#

tbh im just applauding you for remembering to block with the shield

solar maple
#

even with my inexperience at the fight I got a win with no SD lost against max difficultly dad

bright mango
#

LMAO

solar maple
#

nerd

daring hedge
bronze viper
#

Confirmed. Nerd.

edgy arrow
#

yeah i remember when Retrash first hit 50 with zag sword and it was like, what’s next death defiances in real life

chilly sun
#

ALSO ZAG SWORD SUPREMACY

daring hedge
#

zag sword kinda slept on

mossy zinc
daring hedge
#

zag spear kinda just bad

solar maple
#

what is the worst high heat aspect? It's got to be gilga, right?

chilly sun
#

it has the dashes tho

daring hedge
#

probably zag spear without flurry

edgy arrow
#

it’s zag sword

mossy zinc
#

Zag Spear > Zag Sword.

bright mango
#

Still i think gilga

bronze viper
#

I still think Zagius is the eternal garbage fire from which all garbage fires spring but empirically it is not.

gaunt fiber
#

Pretty sure it was "Beep boop"

halcyon flame
#

zagius is just flurry + cursed slash

mossy zinc
#

Zag Spear can get Flurry Jab.

chilly sun
#

yknow im inclined to say arthur because it only wants like. 3 gods

daring hedge
#

can get flurry jab

#

maybe

bright mango
#

I think it’s gilga

edgy arrow
#

Retrash is just that good

bright mango
#

For how slow it is

daring hedge
#

just get full zeus dash with splitting bolt out of tartarus

mossy zinc
#

S+ tier some of the time and F tier the rest of the time is better than F tier all of the time.

daring hedge
#

ez gilga 50

chilly sun
#

that video was so funny

#

but in a good way

daring hedge
#

that run was so fun tbh

chilly sun
#

also zag spear with vicious skewer, is it good?

mossy zinc
#

No.

chilly sun
#

asking because i have no experience with spear

bright mango
#

Forgot tailesque did a 50 gilga run

mossy zinc
#

Zag Spear is S+ with Flurry Jab and bad with everything else.

halcyon flame
#

zag spear is only good with exploding launcher

mossy zinc
#

I guess ME is also okay.

chilly sun
#

understandable have a nice day

edgy arrow
#

you can do exploding launcher as well

chilly sun
#

well merciful end is good with everything so,, yeah

edgy arrow
#

not as good as flurry jab but not trash

daring hedge
#

exploding launcher still feels pretty weak

mossy zinc
#

Exploding Launcher is still pretty bad.

daring hedge
#

but yeah it's better than nothing

bronze viper
daring hedge
#

i still haven't done hestia lol

mossy zinc
#

It's not unbelievable.

chilly sun
#

what do you guys think of zag rail though

mossy zinc
#

Tailesque likes to play fun aspects, you see?

solar maple
#

I still haven't ever won a high heat run with rail or bow

chilly sun
#

is it as bad as it seems lol

bronze viper
mossy zinc
#

Tbh the nerf made Eris quite a lot more fun than it was.

daring hedge
#

yeah you def aim for spread fire on zag rail

chilly sun
#

ouuuhg makes sense spread fire is so fun

edgy arrow
chilly sun
#

also man. i dont like eris at all

bronze viper
mossy zinc
#

Retrash also said Tailesque likes to play fun aspects?

chilly sun
#

its good dont get me wrong im just tired of seeing it everywhere

gaunt fiber
#

No no

#

It's fine to diss Eris

edgy arrow
#

tailesque’s aspect are fun yeah

chilly sun
#

YAY i hate it

solar maple
#

rama fun hades no

edgy arrow
#

except hades spear, aspect of no flurry jab

solar maple
#

rama is one of the most fun aspects

chilly sun
#

i think guan yu should get flurry jab because it would be funny

neat sonnet
#

why am I not good enough to speedrun I literally just got my ME from asphodel miniboss then eurydice into fountain room what is this

daring hedge
#

bright has cultivated a hateful attitude towards hades spear

#

it isn't fair

solar maple
#

no I just played it once

edgy arrow
#

it’s not bright

#

it’s flurry jab

solar maple
#

that cultivated a hateful attitude

edgy arrow
#

like, it’s right there

#

tantalisingly out of grasp

daring hedge
#

hades spear feels terrible at first

rain sedge
#

"at first"

daring hedge
#

but once you get used to it

#

it's fun

edgy arrow
#

i mean, yeah kinda

chilly sun
#

i dont like hades spear ejjjgkjti but i appreciate the variety in aspects

bronze viper
#

Sometimes Hades aspect makes me feel like a dummie when I just dash and stand there for a second, release too soon, no spin comes out then I do this 3 more times in a row, give up and just naked spear attack them to death out of exasperation

edgy arrow
#

but also i’m bad at spears and try to avoid them lol

daring hedge
#

weaving spins into your normal play can be awkward but eventually it's pretty smooth

mossy zinc
#

Schad doesn't want to get used to things. Schad plays Eris.

#

Schad doesn't like learning gameplay mechanics.

chilly sun
#

i think my fave aspect for the spear is guan yu though

#

its really nice how its like. its own minigame! creative game design is fun

halcyon flame
#

eris bad

chilly sun
#

this is why eris sucks

edgy arrow
#

Tailesque: “weave in spins with your normal play”

Me: “imma do a spin—“ dies

bright mango
rain sedge
#

tail out here complaining about hades spear hate whereas I'm here getting my aspect dissed every day

daring hedge
#

lmao

mossy zinc
#

We don't diss Eris, we diss Eris players.

edgy arrow
#

they’re everywhere

#

we only have this place of safety

gaunt fiber
#

Do you know what aspect they hate more?

mossy zinc
#

Who said you were safe?

chilly sun
#

i. wanna try out eris dionysus now heck

rain sedge
chilly sun
#

" why" yes

rain sedge
#

lmfao what

bright mango
#

This is no place of safety

edgy arrow
#

this channel

chilly sun
#

its for the meemes

gaunt fiber
#

Come on Schad be positive

edgy arrow
#

this channel is the beo players channel

#

or it will be soon

daring hedge
#

hades high heat memes

solar maple
#

just you wait until I clear like 58 heat beo or something

#

they'll all see

edgy arrow
#

we’re slowly converting everyone

rain sedge
bronze viper
#

"There are dozens of us"

halcyon flame
#

pseudo at that point you literally might as well do 60 heat beo

solar maple
#

I've gotten to elysium on 58 heat with beo

halcyon flame
#

don't even bother with casts at that point dusa

edgy arrow
rain sedge
#

wtf real?

mossy zinc
#

Needs to be 61 or no one will care.

solar maple
#

ye

#

I thought about trying 60

mossy zinc
#

But then @daring hedge will do 62 the same day, and no one will care about your 61.

edgy arrow
#

why lmao

solar maple
#

but I would time out I think

edgy arrow
#

actually do it

mossy zinc
#

No one will speak of it.

edgy arrow
#

60 heat beo would be crazy

bronze viper
daring hedge
#

i haven't done 60 a second time for a reason

rain sedge
#

imagine living in the world where the highest heat aspect is beo

edgy arrow
#

i can die happy if that happens

daring hedge
#

it's hard and it's grindy

#

i can't be like that one gamer god who did 62 heat three times

chilly sun
#

i wonder how much seeding can help with AP2

rain sedge
#

oh god here comes that joke

solar maple
#

I tried 61 heat rama to see what it would be like

mossy zinc
bronze viper
#

Are you even playing the game if you can't streak 62?

solar maple
#

I got to furies once and called it a victory lmao

daring hedge
#

lol

chilly sun
#

nice!!!

edgy arrow
chilly sun
#

the one time i tried max heat i died to the sneak

chilly sun
#

got forced into common poseidon attack with shackle yikes

bronze viper
#

Lol I think it was my fault this time

bright mango
#

Is 62 heat guy even joined the discord?

bronze viper
#

He posted in victory-boasting right?

chilly sun
#

wait someone beat 62 heat? 😮

daring hedge
#

yeah he talked about it, we asked for a screen and he said he'd show it after work

#

he never got out of work

#

rip

bronze viper
#

oh lmao

#

RIght, he's still at work, my bad

solar maple

rain sedge

cmon man

edgy arrow

2 of those were with RI4 as well

daring hedge
bronze viper
#

The secret is HL4 CF1

daring hedge
#

and cropped out their health

chilly sun
#

I,,,???

bronze viper
#

Oh was it? Wow we have so much talent here

#

My mistake

daring hedge
#

we have had a decent chunk of people claiming some stuff basically

edgy arrow
#

there have been a few of them

rain sedge
#

I'm all for calling out people for pretending to be better than they are

#

but this is too much

chilly sun
#

yikes lmao

rain sedge
#

let's move on from the dead horse pls

gaunt fiber
#

^

chilly sun
#

when i beat 66 heat its gonna be real i promise. just you wait and see.

edgy arrow
#

yeah Schad’s right

bronze viper
#

Back to more productive conversation. So how bad is Chiron exactly?

daring hedge
#

i mean percy asked what was going on lol

chilly sun
#

sea storm chiron [ a truck runs me over ]

halcyon flame
#

69 heat zagius 🤯

chilly sun
#

its ok!! thank you guys for explaining

rain sedge
#

it's fine I was half joking, but even I start to feel bad for the people who lied lol

solar maple
#

I'm off to go do some 58 heat beo with shackle and ruthless reflex

rain sedge
#

like... if you lie like that, you can't be older than 15

rain sedge
#

and I feel like we should cut them some slack, we've all done stupid lies when we're young

daring hedge
bronze viper
#

My mom owns Disney

daring hedge
#

but i digress

solar maple
#

I'll need it

rain sedge

#

manifestin good luck in your hosue

actually two of them

#

people are weird

rain sedge

.......................

#

yknow what

#

continue dissing them

#

I genuinely thought it's a young person thing and I felt bad yknow

#

but I take it back

daring hedge
dire steppe
#

.

daring hedge
#

you can slap deadly flourish on and mostly call it a day

chilly sun
#

it also feels really bad until it gets going

#

the hammer reliance doesnt help either

rain sedge
#

what did you do for chiron 50 tail?

edgy arrow
#

i just find chiron vaguely irritating at heat

daring hedge
#

deadly flourish, only got conc volley

#

second hammer was chain shot

rain sedge
#

lmfao chain shot chiron

#

the retrash

edgy arrow
#

i could do a whole beo run between special animations probably

chilly sun
#

i like chiron with dionysus and aphrodite for funny PS sounds and thats it

daring hedge
#

only rivaled by lucifer chaos curse on attack funny sounds

bronze viper
#

Chain Shot Chiron is actually fine depending on boons. Spreads weak well. I like it a lot if you're going Hangover lets you Doom stuff real good.

solar maple
#

how do the other beo players feel about charge shot on high heat?

#

It's so much damage but I tend to die

chilly sun
edgy arrow
#

once i complained about chain shot chiron and someone told me “it’s fine just don’t aim at what you’re aiming at” and that stuck with me

bronze viper
#

Lol there's that too

daring hedge
#

guys chain shot doesn't affect the special target

solar maple
#

I hate chain shot

bronze viper
#

Slander

chilly sun
#

chain shot chiron with zeus attack big brain

daring hedge
#

you still hit the first thing that got attacked

edgy arrow
#

do you?

#

was that changed?

bronze viper
#

I have to test again apparently, I'm almost certain it's the last thing you hit

daring hedge
#

it's not that bad, moreso useless if you don't have a good attack boon

edgy arrow
#

i swear it used to target the last thing

rain sedge
#

okay tail

#

I need some advice

chilly sun
#

huh thats weird

edgy arrow
#

i’ll admit i haven’t taken it in ages tho

rain sedge
#

let's say a casual wants to do 50 heat all weapons

#

what's the easiest aspects of each non rail weapons?

#

said casual will seed whatever first boon/hammer needed

bronze viper
#

Just do a Zag aspect sweep

rain sedge
#

hmm, funny, last I check my discord name is still "Schad" not "Retrash"

daring hedge
#

oh nevermind, it seems inconsistent actually lol

#

sometimes it does stay on the first target

#

sometimes it really does not

#

cool

bronze viper
#

It's the Electric Shot of hammers

solemn pulsar
#

maybe like a explosive return chaos shield with doom/dio on special?

#

casual 50 heat doesn't really seem like a thing

#

if you're attempting 50 heat seriously you are far from a casual player

solar maple
edgy arrow
#

when Schad says “casual” he means “pro”

#

it’s a speech impediment

bronze viper
#

Schad is the worst Eris player in existence. Really, the aspect carried him to the WR

solemn pulsar
#

see that's the problem, like beo is a really hard weapon for casuals

#

usually

rain sedge
#

beo = no go

solemn pulsar
#

also i would say zag fists so you don't get hit

rain sedge
#

listen

#

that 40 heat beo

solemn pulsar
#

and hades spear

rain sedge
#

almost broke me

solar maple
#

if you win 50 heat you aren't a casual lmao

rain sedge
#

but the rest seems valid

solemn pulsar
#

hades spear over achilles maybe

#

for degenerate play

edgy arrow
#

use zeus then

rain sedge
#

I'll give dedge seed nemesis a try but otherwise I'll move to poseidon

#

yeah zeus probably

daring hedge
edgy arrow
#

zeus 50 should be doable if you’re big brain enough

solemn pulsar
#

schad do you still think you're a casual

solar maple
#

zeus is a way harder weapon than beo

edgy arrow
#

i am not

bronze viper
#

50 Stygius? Maybe you should start slower lmao

solar maple
#

maybe better, but harder imo

rain sedge
edgy arrow
true fable
#

zeus is def a harder weap than beo

solemn pulsar
true fable
#

you just press more buttons with beo

solemn pulsar
#

but it matters less when you press them with beo

rain sedge
#

what's the hammer at hades 50?

#

exploding launcher?

edgy arrow
#

Schad hates beo tho

true fable
#

true

daring hedge
#

i don't understand

rain sedge
#

beo is a hard weapon okay

true fable
#

hades spear is a degenerate weapon

#

thats just how it is

bronze viper
solemn pulsar
true fable
#

LOL

daring hedge
#

i give up

bronze viper
#

why do you just have these

daring hedge
#

i'm prepared

bronze viper
#

lmao

halcyon flame
#

this is heresy and slander if nothing else

solemn pulsar
#

all weapons are degenerate except bow, sword, and fists

bronze viper
#

It's not that Achilles is degenerate, it's that the degenerate apples don't fall far from the degenerate Varathan trees.

daring hedge
#

high heat strat channel is just one of those cartoon brawl clouds with fists and legs coming out periodically right now

halcyon flame
true fable
#

hades is a game for degenerates

solemn pulsar
#

i meant fists

edgy arrow
#

all weapons are degenerate, but some weapons are more degenerate than others

halcyon flame
true fable
#

varatha is degenerate

bronze viper
#

I don't know, I stopped understanding the words I was typing in this channel an hour ago

daring hedge
#

must be something in the high heat water

bright mango
#

For chiron with poseidon special and seastorm, does the lightning still have cooldown?

halcyon flame
#

yeah

bright mango
#

Oof

edgy arrow
#

everything was fine and then someone posted that rama guide

#

now look at us

bright mango
#

Wow

rain sedge
#

RI1 or AP2 for 50 heat?

halcyon flame
#

blame lili

rain sedge
#

which one is worse?

daring hedge
#

bloodborne frenzy meter going up for everyone irl

solemn pulsar
#

take both

#

and reduce HL

rain sedge
#

cgull stop 😦

bronze viper
halcyon flame
#

both are awful

#

just turn on em4 😎

solemn pulsar
#

put EM4 on too

#

ged rid of HL

#

and some LC too

bronze viper
#

I play a lot of Chiron lol

edgy arrow
#

have you been optimising sea storm chiron

#

why

halcyon flame
#

then why do you have rama in your nickname

bronze viper
#

You always get 2 procs by doing that but sometimes the stars align and you get 3

daring hedge
#

people are allowed to play multiple aspects ok

edgy arrow
#

what

bronze viper
#

I tried switching to Chiron in 1.0 when it got really good because Tailesque stole my Rama thunder lol

halcyon flame
#

smh\

daring hedge
#

strange i know

#

pretty wacky

edgy arrow
#

i can... play aspects other than beo? 😮

halcyon flame
#

how dare you not play beowulf

edgy arrow
#

i don’t understand

#

sounds heretical

bronze viper
#

But Chiron is poopoo so I switched back to Rama for heat pushing lol.

bright mango
rain sedge
#

ok AP2 over RI1 first

bronze viper
#

the 24x40 is an attempt to diversify my portfolio

rain sedge
#

let's see how this goes

bright mango
#

So I need to face at a ninety degree angle from the enemies?

bronze viper
#

You can try just straight backwards (you have to be pretty close to the enemy for them to wrap around and hit though)

bright mango
#

Ok

edgy arrow
#

i like shooting chiron special directly away from my target

#

makes a lil’ heart shape

bronze viper
#

Lol, and it also makes it "AoE"

daring hedge
#

this is a lot of work to make a suboptimal special do well

bronze viper
#

We can't all have broken hammers like Repulse Shot to carry us

daring hedge
#

lmao

edgy arrow
#

wish beo could get repulse shot smh

bronze viper
#

Repulse Shot on Stygius would be legit af

halcyon flame
edgy arrow
#

oh

#

gp

#

wish i could get flood flare as a hammer

halcyon flame
#

repulse shot on malphone 🤯

edgy arrow
#

mod where you can use any hammer on any weapon when

#

can’t wait for cursed slash GY

rain sedge
#

how do you even play rama on bosses lol

#

it takes forever to charge the shot

daring hedge
#

hoarding slash fists 👀

daring hedge
rain sedge
#

I see

#

I'll play it slower

daring hedge
#

rama allows you to pick and choose shots instead of having to constantly attack all the time because of the big damage

#

so yeah just try to be a little more patient

gaunt fiber
#

I have a buddy willing to train aspects

#

but only at 50 heat

daring hedge
spice lava
gaunt fiber
#

Ah!

#

Finally :)

spice lava
#

I'm currently working on Rama, I found out against bosses that all openings are not good to take to launch powershots because even if you do damages, you can take some in return

daring hedge
#

i mean, with rama there are always opportunities to power shot

#

without taking damage yourself

spice lava
#

Yeah but it's very easy to pick a wrong timing to shoot and pay the price

shy plinth
#

Tail your experience is atypical

#

Though you are not wrong

daring hedge
#

true

bronze viper
#

I'm a lot worse than him but I still find very wide openings in every boss to power shot

daring hedge
#

i guess what i mean is, learning those key moments where it is safe is vital

vital grove
#

You can always special for free, so strong.

gaunt fiber
#

Don't even think to diss my boyo

daring hedge
#

and honestly there's some truth to that phoenix lol

#

i typically spam special during times where i cannot get a power shot off

edgy arrow
#

wait

daring hedge
#

just to keep the shared suffering fresh

vital grove
#

Yeah it can rack up if you have hangover

edgy arrow
#

so uncharged shots aren’t worth it?

gaunt fiber
#

special build intensifies

edgy arrow
#

i do so many of them

daring hedge
#

they are sometimes

#

it's not always incorrect or anything

bronze viper
#

E.g. you don't want to powershot normal witches in Tartarus lol

edgy arrow
#

i do them a lot tho

#

especially in bosses

gaunt fiber
#

Special Rama players : "I'm just working on shared suffering uptime, I swear"

bronze viper
#

Against bosses you really want to be looking for power shots

daring hedge
#

i'd say getting some quick uncharged shots makes more sense with triple shot during some tight timings

#

but even then you mostly want the power shot

edgy arrow
#

hmm

daring hedge
#

and yeah for bosses power shots are the Big Damage

edgy arrow
#

i’m bad at rama what else is new

vital grove
#

Did you know:

#

Power shot does 50 more damage than dash power shot

edgy arrow
#

that’s good to know tho, i’ll bare it in mind

rain sedge
#

this sounds like a weapon that requires big brain

#

unsure how I feel about that

spice lava
#

not a big brain but experience to know where good openings are

vital grove
#

Minimum damage is 25 btw

bronze viper
#

The big brain is knowing when to not power shot so you don't waste your time doing 500 damage to a brimstone with 10 health lol

spice lava
#

on some rooms you can setup up the marks on ennemies and finish them all with a powershot

edgy arrow
#

rama is defs big brain weapon

bronze viper
#

This is somehow a lot harder than it would seem lol

spice lava
#

but on some situations like witches in Tartarus, you most of the time need to improvise

edgy arrow
vital grove
#

The fun part is sometimes a strong special is enough to burst things down, or at least mark and reduce hp so you can 1shot the room

edgy arrow
#

i don’t know how it happened

#

i usually barely ever power shot

bronze viper
#

A lot of times my special will auto-aim whiff and my brain will not process that, so I will do the entire power shot charge into a blue heart without hesitation

vital grove
#

Special does 3x5 damage per instance, bouncing

solar maple
#

will someone please inform me how you kill a speedy wavemaker with a melee weapon?

its pretty funny

vital grove
#

Have to keep distance and run where it jumps

solar maple
#

ok how about 5 of them

bronze viper
#

What feels good is next levelling enemies with Shared Suffering but only 1 blue heart by charging a power shot and knowing that the 60% suffering damage is enough for the kill

That actually happens all the time for me lol

i’m sorry the challenge is beneath you

Misfortune and impending, then spam it hard lel

you’re so good at this game i can’t tell

maybe you do just smash out ME rama 50s for fun idk

true fable
#

we call it raME around these parts

bronze viper
#

Lol, not sure if sarcasm conveys well on text but I have actually our of curiosity been experimenting with Thunder Flourish on Chiron just now. The backwards thing doesn't work because the heart pattern will never land on anything behind you, but there is a very narrow forward distance you can stand that looks like it gives 2x Thunder procs the vast majority of the time. I'll post vid.

I hate athena so much

but why? is 2 zeus bolts even more damage than arti special?

bronze viper

when i get relentless volley I'll see if i can get 3x

Because science

Because AoE

daring hedge

it provides a tiny bit of aoe

but yeah still not worth it

I think Retrash's 50 used Thunder Flourish iirc

daring hedge

yeah

edgy arrow

how to do builds:

  1. look up what Retrash did
  2. don’t do that do something else
shy plinth

Retrash is the best example of "this shouldn't work but somehow it did"

i swear he does it on purpose

at least TD2 lets you pull that kind of thing

most of my TD2 50s are a lot like that

fist 50 felt doable

I got TD3-ed at heroes because I took the damn athena trial

but it felt reasonable

my main problem with fists is it feels kinda mega bad unless you get decent boons

Hey so in the speedrunning discord we have "aspect of the week" where people try to see who can get the fastest times with that aspect for that week. Is a decently fun way of rotating through lesser-used aspects which normally don't see the light of day much.

Do you think there would be interest in a similar thing here? Like "see how high of a heat you can clear with this aspect this week?" I know there's plenty of fun challenges on the server, and maybe you've even tried this before, just wanted to float it

#

when it's a short thing not just competing for heat WRs and there's a little leaderboard each week it's fun go for 2nd/3rd etc, and not just be sad that you can't touch whatever tailesque/retrash/hadesprof/other aspect specialists can lay down

bright mango
#

is aotw this week hades spear?

dire steppe
honest kernel
#

last time I checked in here someone was trying to do 40 with all weapons-and eventually all aspects I guess

plush scaffold
#

Aotw would be even more interesting in high-heat than speedrun, since high-heat is less about luck than skill

dire steppe
honest kernel
#

nice

dire steppe
#

all aspects on 40 heat streaked twice without losing lol

honest kernel
#

thats pretty cool

rain sedge
shy gulch
#

^yea thats something a good few ppl here have done

rain sedge
#

but aotw would be cool

shy plinth
#

We could also do "pact of the week"

rain sedge
#

most aspects are at 50-51 heat mark

bright mango
#

yes that sounds better

shy plinth
#

Randomize pact settings etc

rain sedge
#

which I don't think is unreachable

honest kernel
#

a lot changed since 1.0 lol

#

pretty cool

i hope you guys know that all the beo talk inspired me to finally draw a zag with beo shield

#

oh high heat doc starts at 32 now?

timid kindle
#

how does this look for a pact

#

Chiron bow... I would do TD 5:00 but I'm sadly just not fast enough

#

at least with the bow

shy plinth
#

Would really suggest not doing RI1

#

And HS is painful too

#

That's 30 heat? Or did I do my math wrong

timid kindle
#

32

shy plinth
#

Ah yes

#

I did do my math wrong

timid kindle
#

I was doing Forced Overtime 40% but that ended up being way too punishing at the moment

shy plinth
#

I'd probably do JS1+LC4 over HS and RI1

#

And use stubborn defiance

timid kindle
#

what (pls words my brain stopped)

shy plinth
#

Jury summons 1 and Lasting consequences maxed

#

No routine inspection or heightened security

#

Use stubborn defiance

timid kindle
#

I mean I know one more deadline and 40% overtime can help the game move faster in general but I don't have auto aim on this computer and I can only move in 8 directions

shy plinth
#

You don't need FO2 or TD3

timid kindle
#

I did it before cz_eyeshake

#

I hated it

#

Papa Hades at 40% overtime 🥵

shy plinth
#

It is tough for sure, especially on Chiron

timid kindle
#

yeahhhh

shy plinth
#

But routine inspection is making the game way harder for you

#

It is not recommended to take until mid-40s

timid kindle
#

I did it with stygius and it was the worst most painful thing ever

shy plinth
#

There's a pinned guide for 32 heat that's very good

timid kindle
#

I've never done benefits package 2 before

#

but it was getting nuts*

chilly sun
#

the BP2 mood

shy plinth
#

What's the highest heat you've done before

#

BP2 is definitely difficult, worth getting used to but it's no joke

timid kindle
#

32 on Stygius with Nemesis... it took me like a week or two

#

one week

#

Athena hard carried

#

I had her attack and special and dash.. shame I didn't have the call

#

I was getting used to FO2 but then I gave myself a break

#

now I am not used to it

shy plinth
#

FO2 is def not necessary for 32 and it is super difficult

timid kindle
#

between HL and LC what do you reccomend

#

I feel like HL makes your health worth less

shy plinth
#

The pins are going to be really helpful for guidance

#

My typical 32 pact has HL2 LC4 but I'm not as good as a lot of the people here

#

LC4 with stubborn defiance is pretty important though

#

Worth getting used to

timid kindle
#

on chiron I found that Piercing Volley was just hard carrying me

#

love that little hammer upgrade

#

I don't think I even have stubborn defiance maxxed out yet... is it just 30% hp or do you upgrade it higher? how high does it go?

shy plinth
#

30% is max

#

But you get to die in every room so that becomes your healing

#

You can suicide in lava after an asphodel room for example to heal up

timid kindle
#

tight deadline go brr

shy plinth
#

And there's a trick with athena where if you pop your stubborn defiance and then get last stand or deathless stand, you get to keep a full DD from her and you get your SD back on top

#

So you can kind of cheat the system

timid kindle
#

yooooo

shy plinth
#

I'd really recommend watching some of the high heat vods from the sheet, you'll see it in action

timid kindle
#

can you do it

#

shy plinth

Yeah

maybe?

I'll post the pact I used but also cannot recommend Schad's guide enough

timid kindle
#

I'm looking at the visual guide rn

shy plinth
#

I used HL2 LC4 CF2 EM3 BP2 MM UC FO1 TD3

#

If you want to get 3 more points of heat somewhere else you could use DC2 JS1 instead of TD3

timid kindle
#

how in the heck did you do Rama and TD3

shy plinth
#

Rama is fast

#

And I always play with td3 on

#

You'll notice my clear time was not even close 😅

rain sedge
#

well just died on my fist 50

#

maybe it's not as free as I thought

timid kindle
shy plinth
#

You don't usually fully charge unless it's going to clear a room

rain sedge
#

rama is hard for beginners. hat's pact is pretty optimum

shy plinth
#

❤️

#

If you want to see high level rama play watch some Tail vods

#

I learned a lot by watching better players

rain sedge
#

if it's your first 32, use that pact, load chiron up, and you'll get it

#

tail is streaming right now too if you wanna watch

shy plinth
#

Tail stream pog

timid kindle
#

tail who

shy plinth
#

The current heat record holder

pinned guide talks about some of the important things that'll be helpful for 32

shy plinth
#

He's cleared 60

#

And in fact he is currently playing Rama

timid kindle
#

I need more darkness to copy that mirror aaaaaa

rain sedge
#

oh

shy plinth

You can respec your mirror with a key

timid kindle
#

forgets keys exist

rain sedge
#

well

#

you max RI

timid kindle
#

ASDFO:DSAFKODS:AMFSDF nOOOO

rain sedge
#

and you can play with 1-2 less rolls no prob

shy plinth
#

Also do not do that lolol

#

Schad's a professional

#

Do not try this at home

timid kindle
#

a maxxed RI run sounds kinda fun

shy plinth
#

Also why is Tail playing sea storm Rama

#

Is this a meme

rain sedge
#

wdym hat

timid kindle
#

okay so here was my heat build for my stupid nemesis run

rain sedge
#

if love doesnt have enough darkness

rain sedge
#

-1 or -2 rolls are the most optimum darkness spending

shy plinth
#

You said max RI

timid kindle
#

it was a nightmare

shy plinth
#

RI1 sure

#

RI4 nah fam

timid kindle
#

look at my terrible pact and scream*

shy plinth
#

LC4 with DDs is brave

timid kindle
#

I somehow did it in a week

shy plinth
#

Have you not cleared with other weapons...?

timid kindle
#

I purposely did no other weapons

shy plinth
#

I see

timid kindle
#

not "couldn't clear" I mean no attempts

shy plinth
#

That's atypical

timid kindle

total clears: 22

I wasn't even sending a message.. it wasn't even fun... I

Dash strike is basically mandatory on Rama

Rama Dash-Strike Powershot is slower that the regular powershot on the normal bow

It's also 55 more damage

75 more than a regular bow power shot

Guys guys guys, maybe thunder Chiron isn't a trash fire. I have @gaunt fiber as an eyewitness. It performs interesting game actions I swear

retrash did 50 with it

that's been proven

if retrash did it, it must mean it's a good build 🙃

bronze viper

lmao

Retrash abuses the 4 free heat from EM4 tho

#

dont @ me

bronze viper
#

The 4 free heat from EM4 is abusing me

#

I'm pretty confident I can do it on Chiron though, you just play very scurred and he eventually dies

#

Thanks TD2

#

I lost a run pretty much exclusively because of Twin Shot though. It's trap don't do it. I tell myself that every time and I still take it

daring hedge

it's free :)

stone basalt
#

I've seen people mention hell mode, when is that unlocked? I'm only at 5 heat so far

#

Benefits Package as well

shy plinth
#

It's a separate option for new save files

#

If you want hell mode you have to opt in right at the start, it's a permanent specific 5 heat pacts

#

Usually not necessary to worry about

stone basalt
#

Are those things that are always available and just forced, or are those pacts exclusive to hell mode?

hollow lynx

4/5 of those forced heats are ones already available, only 1 heat condition is exclusive

300+ health with 2 DDs, patty, and a touch of styx

Is that including what you would get from DD?

Oh ok

Over 300 is still a lot, I need to step it up lol

All I've gotten this run is health lol. The first time in a long time I just allowed Thanatos to kill 100% of the enemies in Elysium ("allowed" implies that I had another choice in the matter)

So, high heat grind results so far : Almost made it on 51 heat mirrorless, but tiny vermin had other plans. 52 heat I died like a dummy to Hades' spin dealing 102 damage to me, which was my exact HP after my SD, and I died to an Elysium arrow at 61 heat. Was making decent pace without a special.

solar maple
#

what's your 61 pact?

honest kernel
#

Hellmode, everything maxed but RI3 and CP1

solar maple
#

oh yeah CP1 makes sense

honest kernel
#

Tried 62 heat a bunch, oh boi is that not timer friendly

#

Considering EM4

#

That or I go mirrorless EM4

#

Which is potentially worse for both the timer and the skill required

vital grove
#

Go down to Td2

#

Do mirrorless cp2

honest kernel
#

Can't do that without doing RI4

solar maple
#

TD2 all maxed seems terrible

honest kernel
#

^

solar maple
#

RI3 is necessary

honest kernel
#

You have to actually survive

solar maple
#

TD2 harder than RI3 62 heat IMO

vital grove
#

Imagine being Baj with aspect of Baj and getting hit

#

Baj doesn't get hit

honest kernel
#

You'd be surprised how often you get hit from getting overwhelmed

#

Or from Dracons instant-spawning in your face

#

Or BP boosted Elysium mobs

vital grove
#

Yeah. 60+ hard.

honest kernel
#

Also Swordsmen are a pain in every way. You can't even let them off of hitstun for a second or you get slapped in the face

vital grove
#

Yeah annoying mofos

honest kernel
#

Like

#

The way they handle animations out of hitstun leads to this kinda jank

#

Same deal with charms and stuff

#

Imagine them with armor and speed

#

Not fun

#

Oh well, ranting aside, I could see 61 heat being doable

#

Considering the time I managed without a special

true fable
#

baj youve returned to high heat now?

#

also charged shot zeus shield feels like a different weapon

sometimes they just suck

omg i just found the screenshot for my first victory ever and its amazing

behold:

idk how i even got to 9% with a time like that honestly

#

how in the hell

#

61 minutes, that's genuinely amazing

edgy arrow
#

ikr

#

and like, i had plume so i was obviously trying to go fast

although i may have just forgotten about it i can't really remember

waxen relic
#

There's 4 chaos-boons in there. Still 60minutes

eternal escarp
edgy arrow
#

maybe lmao

#

although

#

the epic greatest reflex suggests not

opal drift
#

am i correct in thinking that 60 heat is mostly difficult due to the time limit?

mossy zinc
#

It's a lot more than the time limit.

opal drift
#

Well, of course

#

The damage and restrictions are nothing to scoff at

#

But it looks like a lot of RNG and a lot of hoping you don't go overtime

#

I would think that even with all the restrictions, the challenge would be considerably easier without the timer

mossy zinc
#

It's a factor, but like 99% of players wouldn't get to the point where RNG matters.

neat sonnet
#

The simple fact of getting screwed out of a lot of things that are usually guaranteed like boons means you still die a lot easier I believe

#

(From reading and watching)

opal drift
#

I mean I'm only at 15 heat lol

#

Im just curious

mossy zinc
#

Timer or no, the EM4 fight is a DPS check.

opal drift
#

Haven't touched the majority of the more difficult punishments

spice lava
#

Well on 50h, runs already mostly die because you're beaten to death by foes before worrying about timer 😄

opal drift
#

Do bosses get the health increase as well?

mossy zinc
#

Yes.

opal drift
#

Wonder if 64 heat is even possible at that point lol

#

So much stuff stacked

spice lava
#

If you're meaning CP yes

neat sonnet
#

EM4 hades can and will heal over all your DPS if you’re not strong enough
