Remember to take a break for some tea đ«
Or whatever drink strikes your fancy
â đ„đ„ 
tea drinking is the second most important high heat strategy, after petting cerberus
I have trouble knowing what exactly to look for looking at my own videos
That and knowing how to improve what I did wrong
How do I gain more insight from looking at my own videos? Without other people looking at it I have no idea what to look for
What makes aphro cast good? Or is this tier list only for beo?
that is a high heat beo tier list
Ok that makes more sense
different weapons use different casts to different effects
aphro is great on hera and pretty good on beo
mediocre at best for everything else though
Fits decently in Guan Yu's dps rotation
Is pog frog doing 24x40?
Yeah
Aphro can do a job on Kamikaze Achilles.
Especially with Parting Shot
Rush behind them, nothing personal wretch.
What's a good pact setup for Hera Bow?
HL1, LC4, EM3, MM, BP2, FO2, UC, TD3
It's the easiest way to do it IMO, maybe CF1 for HL1 if you're melee
FO2 is bad for first timers doing 32, and mathematically 3 points in HL is better than 1 point in FO
also guide is pinned
Imo Hl5 is easier than FO2
ok what the heck I just jumped right to 32 with hestia for fun and made it to heroes before timing out and dying
I played terribly but wow
That's how I started grinding heat, using Hestia for fun until 50 and now I'm deeply bad on any non Hestia aspect đ
Hestia bestia
@daring hedge are you going to upload the 50 heat seastorm to YouTube?
like a sucessful twitch streamer once said
hestia exist to democratise high heat đ
Pretend this is reacting to your message because discord wonât let me for some reason

Now I'm chilling on Rama special, pretending it's the rail atk with hammers
and then I turned around and got right back to heroes on 32 GY
what is this
died but
timed out at heroes
good boon luck, had quick spin with deadly strike
Worst Elysium I ever had, no free rooms througout aspho/Ely
dang
nice stuff
my run had quick spin winged serpent but aph attack
I was panicking way too much cause I got to elysium first go at 32, I had a good asphodel and tartarus but I found asterius in the miniboss.. lost tooth there
sounds like my run yesterday astaos
asterius hard
it's ok
I now have a practice save for asterius
my idea is that I will grind this fight until I can no hit it 50% of the time
and next time I come this far, it'll be ez
Good luck schad
yeah at some point soon
i have a bit of a backlog of uploads lol
Lmao
I had a legit fantastic Chiron run
Didn't get Arti flourish, but Dem flourish worked just as well
But then Hades said it was time for lasers and that's how I lost my most recent Bow 32 heat run
đ
which aspect?
no biggie. I failed a bunch until I finally conquered it
I'm never going to beat 32 heat. I've been trrying now for literally weeks
I just want to do 32 because is it the arbitrary goal the game has put
I just want it to be done with finish this misery
well what are you struggling with? reaching Hades alive, or Hades himself?
there is a reason that statue isn't counted towards any steam achievement
if it's causing you too much stress, don't bother
I used to be able to reach Hades
but you'll def get it if you stick with it
but now I can barely reach the Champions. Hell most of the time I can't even reach Elysium
Lernie kills me often.
And the timer in Elysium often gets me. The fightes are slow with JS1 DC2 and BP2
TD2 or TD3?
TD2 is definitely doable at JS1. I think when I did it with TD2 & JS0
some mirror things that helped me
switch Chthonic Vitality to Dark Regeneration
can't do that myself, I needed regen since obviously you're getting hit a lot by tough enemies
but it is too little health for the bosses
yeah, I ran into the same problem
what aspect are you using?
Did Abyssal Blood always reduce Damage too? I always thought that it'd be only the speed reduction 
Pact:
LS4
CF2
JS1
EM3
BF2
I'm working my way up 0-20 heat with Demeter fists, they're fun
Zeus attack + Arty special makes for crowd control + boss damage on the specials
FO1
DC2
AP1
TD2
demeter is likely going to be your best bet for 32 heat out of the fists aspects
AP1 is rough
I don't anything else to replace it with
honestly iâd consider dropping it and FO1 and switching to HL5
I would rather have AP2 than raise anything else
AP1 seriously damages your build, which hurts both your survivability and your speed
that's only going to exacerbate your issue with time in elysium
thereâs no reason to run it at 32 most of the time
Eris
Itâs getting easier for me now, consistently getting to Elysium, got to Hades in my run before so thatâs twice now.
yeah HL can be pretty manageable if you lay off the FO
I donât really like use HL tbh
HL5 is way easier than FO2
youâll take damage less if you turn FO2 off thatâs what iâm saying
itâs valid to run FO2 at 32, but itâs also valid to avoid it
32 is pretty flexible and if youâre struggling some experimentation could help
I can definitely see why 32 Heat isnât an achievement now though, most people would probably rage quit or just want to enjoy the game casually.
If you get certain things on the Sword you can pretty much be immortal
32 is a kinda reminder that Rogue games are not that friendly
my first 32 didnât have RI and that was pre dark foresight nerf iirc so i actually probably should have lmao
*buff
don't put these ideas in amir's head
My first 32 is cursed, I used the forbidden Rama special
đ€
dark foresight too comfy
it's ok as long as you actually used your attack too
but if you didn't: 
whatâs the forbidden rama special
Rama is supposed to be used wisely by mixing special and atk
that's the way to have an optimized DPS
I'm kinda used to FO1. Since I'm have trouble getting trough the bosses now I don't think that getting hit less because of the speed wold justify putting double damage
I don't see myself surviving Hades with double damage
but I just used the special that day https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/807672625739858000/814212069792415824/EqMLuIiXAAE75vw.png
yeah sure, but i wasnât aware there was a specific boon that was âforbiddenâ
oh just special
nice one lol
not even aware about the good benefit of the acorn, someone told me when I reached 40 because I felt Hades was very tough to keep on with pom blossom
donât worry youâre not the only one
I used to be able to reach Hades and was close to beating him one time (and I would very probably succeeded if I hadn't forgotten to switch out my keepsake for the acorn)
thereâs a weird amount of love for pom blossom if you ask me
@light stag take a look at the pact that I posted in #h1-victory-boasting last night, it dodges AP1 and full hard labor
I just cleared my first round of 32s on all weapons with it
itâs not a bad keepsake but the circumstances where itâs optimal are kinda niche imo
HL2 LC4 CF2 UC MM BP2 FO1 EM3 TD3
looks like a good pact
if theyâre running zeus demeter or something keeping DC2 is probably a good idea tho
the TD3 might take adjustment for them
I will try it but I don't how I will survive +50% damage
they're having trouble with TD2 elysium
Yeah like if the damage isn't coming online because of AP then elysium is gonna blow
Especially JS elysium
That base pact shell has flexibility between picking your poison - the 3 points of heat that you can decide to skip are between TD3, FO1, and the last few points of hard labor
Or if you want to do all three you can drop CF and something else
Beo run etc
But that pact basically just means have clean boss fights and get damage online early, once your DPS is down it's not as punishing
But it's not uncommon to die in elysium if the damage doesn't come together
but nah I'm not going to survive Hades with +50% damage
you can swap the DC2 back in and run HL0
Yeah that works fine
You could try AP1
They're running ap1 already
And hope for the best
Ap1 sucks
if you actually equip acorn hades will be easier regardless of HL
for fists
just remember
it is ok
to take your finger off the attack button
to dodge things
Yeah 32 requires some skill to beat, you can only adjust the pact so much before you have to put in the work
Tail is the empty dash king
reminds me I have a question for you Tail
Do you sometimes cancel your charging shot with Rama to dash out/dodge?
definitely; the ability to just release it early in a bad situation is big
i don't always make the perfect call for when to try a power shot
you can be greedy but you don't have to fully commit to that greed, if that makes sense
Yeah your instinct says it's not a good idea so you get out before taking damages
yeah
I tried Rama on 50 heat but at my current level TD3 is tough at Tartarus and I felt some of my calls were bad but if I'm too careful I don't do enough powershots so my Tartarus clear is slower
high heat TD3 makes it so you can't spend too much time making bad power shot calls, yeah
And sisters make bad calls really obvious
Do you have a good success rate at Tartarus with Rama or you still die a lot there?
i have pretty solid success rate there by now
i've just run high heat tart and high heat rama a ton
the aspect is in your DNA đ
lol true
sometimes my rama muscle memory accidentally carries over when i'm playing other aspects
I I have a Hestia muscle memory when I play another aspect so that doesn't work well most of the time đ
Today for the first time, I got deadly flourish + charged skewer. 2 times. in like 300 runs
I threw these runs of course
When I get good boons I feel pressured
don't worry, those runs die to forge your future victory đ
That last Elysium was hilarious
Flamewheelers in EVERY room
They took my tooth, Asterius charged and I'm here (no patty)
classic patty going missing on the runs that matter
Can confirm I get him every run that's gonna die anyway
I'll start Artemis from now on tho
I need to crit
Shackle baited me in so many dead runs
40 base damage special + artemis sounds good
45 my boyo
my point is still valid boyo
of course boyo
One day you'll win
Maybe
The thing is I've gotten good at non charged skewer Guan yu
And when I get it, well... Brain disconnects
No rng disconnects
AP2 is AP2
Lol yeah
Starting with artemis is a good idea tho
If you can get deadly flourish thatâs an ezdub
Ye
Almost got my first no hit run today
I had divine dash and the Athena legendary but i only used the legendary twice in styx chambers
Divine dash was a crutch tho
52% pierced butterfly
There is no adjustment that will not take time to learn, and one run is not enough to evaluate
If what you were doing before wasn't working, you can keep trying it, but there will be an efficiency issue when you switch to something different for the first time
Ap is worse than HL5 imo
But if what felt right before didn't work, it's time to try something that feels wrong
AP just sucks so bad
It is not impactful to combat so it feels like easier heat, but it removes the ability to make meaningful decisions a good chunk of the time and makes it harder to get builds going
It has snowballing impacts that you don't feel until later in a run
^^^
The worst part about AP is not being able to reroll certain UC choices
I made the mistake of taking AP2 at 40 heat
The worst part about AP is having the same and only bad choice after 1 or 2 rerolls
yeah HL is a no go
with AP1 at least you can you can get decent stats most of the times
better build doesn't do anything for me if early mosses / mini bosses kill me
I don't think dying in elysium is better than dying in asphodel
Just takes longer
Dying in tartarus is super duper common, you just roll again if it doesn't work out
But at a certain point you just have to figure out how to get hit less
Maybe FO1 isn't the answer to try if it's challenging there, I know you said you were used to it but it compounds with HL for sure
With BP2 Tartarus difficulty increases, and it's worse with FO2
Yeah dying in tartarus is not the sign of a bad pact
Just that the game gets harder when you have the least resources to work with
The pact amplifies that
This is extra true with weapons like Beo that need a ton of boons to get going but are unstoppable when they do
Your own feelings are great for this. When you play the game, when you clear a room, did it feel good? Bad? Why? Your feelings won't give you the answers but it helps formulate questions.
Yeah feelings have an influence on the way you play the game
EM4 is a difficult thing for most of us, but for people like Retrash, it works because it looks like adapted
Eventually you'll build the vocabulary to be able to specifically critique your own actions but before that your feelings do a great job of highlighting systemic issues. If things feel slow, they probably are slow
Vods and screenshots are hints to see how it could be done, but at the end the answer to clear your run is only yours
Whatever the aspect you choose and the pact you set
As long as it feels adapted to you and sounds right
Lol, and at worst it's very easy to qualify what you should not have done. When you get hit especially.
All you got to do is keep playing
Soon youâll get the intuition of what to do in certain situations
Youâll be able to predict enemy attacks and movement
So...
Any tips for doing Spear at 32 heat?
There aren't any recommended Spear aspects on the pinned guide so I suppose I'll go for Achilles
since that's the only one I have maxed out
Get flurry jab
With Achilles
Zeus attack for the aoe or Artemis work well
You could also go for cast build I guess
I cheesed mine with exploding launcher hades spear
If you can get guan yu and charged skewer thats also a free 32 spear imo
but half health, gross
achilles hunting blades got me a really easy 32 hear win
Half health does not really matter
Says the guy that repeatedly dies in one hit
I mean it's not bad at 32
GY seems like a spear that'd be better at HL0 FO0
Guan Yu isn't really that good even without the health reduction
The special is good. Everybody just say to focus on the special and ignore the attack and spin
You can spin in between enemy spawn waves
Also it makes LC4 even more free than it already is
...So there's really like
No benefit
I guess the healing is good to have more health between SD lives
Although Iâm not the guan yu expert here
Well, either way, Zeus Attack Achilles it is
DDs are indeed an option
i love hades spear
I remember when I tried to run I would like go into a chaos gate and then try to heal up with the spins
And since the spins are so bad and hard to hit that it would just get me damaged more and would try to heal more and get into a cycle and die
until I stumbled on build focused on the special and that's I used it to clear a run and make the prophecy for taking GU to the surface
if that's the case then you're not giving yourself enough space or time, it takes knowledge of the aspect and enemies to spin right
astaos can probably explain better but you need to know how far it goes, how long it takes to charge and travel etc
the regular spear spin feels so much better
I really like GY honestly, it forces me to play better and helps me see mistakes
way faster
Learning to baby spin with Hades made playing GY feel a lot better with incidental healing. Though @gaunt fiber can vouch that I don't actually incidentally heal when I'm under pressure lmao. Only when I'm at full health.
oh yeah no the success rate on spin healing for me has gone up but still I'm probably net negative
GY made me better at Hades
I definitely got hit by Dad charging a spin when I was full health. I was no longer at full health after that exchange.
yeah because even if you hit 10 enemies with it (more like 3) it's never gonna get you back all the hp
Not with that attitude

And it also feels like you would never want to use the spin jsut to do damage, when using the special is so much easier
Really depends
You can precast spin between waves or phases
i still do not get how you can get a decent amount of spins off without quick or massive
Yeah baby spins are extremely low opportunity cost
guess you have to get used to it, because it was hard to hit anything for me
the thing w baby spins is that they just fizzle out too soon for me
so i have to be close to enemies
which means i get hit
gg
It's the same gameplay loop as Hades aspect with FO2
hm
i guess thats fair
hades spear was surprisingly easy at 40 when i last tried it so maybe i need to get back to that rhythm
spin2win
that's why I never leveled it up after I did 1 clear and kept it at level 1 until maxed every other aspect
When I played Hades Spear I got explosive charged Skewer lol
even no heat is gonna suck when you start with literally getting 2hit
Spin for boost, throw
that's a beautiful combo phoenix
yeah if you just got charged on GY you could go off : )
The same high roll as rocket cluster on Eris
I mean any two hammer high roll is like that
The 150% boost just makes it much stronger
It's not nearly as important on GY but it's a lot of free value to give up to not look for opportunities to do it.
it was actually level 2 not level 1, sorry
that's still like.. so so little health even as a GY user I feel for that
Yeah, pff imagine playing GY with half the normal GY life total @gaunt fiber
Who would choose to do that to themselves
are you trying to tell me that I shouldn't use high confidence legerdamayn
I still dont know how to win against greatshields in small rooms
my run just died, I saved it as practice run, and I still can't clear it consistently
Lol I'll say that High Confidence is really well named
who indeed
you actually motivated me
let's try
again
Does anyone actually use High Confidence?
and actually utilize it?
I get the feeling that even high level players speedrunners etc. don't use it often
except for No hit runs/ pierced butterfly runs etc
in fact, thick skin is the novelty in speedruns
only for when you want to be extra safe
thats why I wanted to see GY aspect on HC
so speedrunners actually have to take survivability into account
a speedrunner would never tell you they took thick skin to not die
that would be the real reason
but they would tell you it was so they could take chaos gates
yeah high confidence is the common choice for speedrunning, thick skin is the unusual one
good evening pog frog
i basically always use it now, sometimes i forget to turn it back when i start doing high heat LOL
whats up schad
how goes your adventure at 24x40 land?
yeah I only used thick skin on weapons I was bad at when first starting out speeedrunning
have you enjoyed gilgamesh 40 yet?
im like halfway there schad
now I only use thick skin for my 32+ heat runs
i was gonna do some yesterday but i just did not feel like playing anything so i didnt end up doing anythin
maybe tonight i'll knock out a couple
i have not yet done gilga
im gonna do luci next, then probably start trying the harder ones
GY, gilga, arthur, zag sword / spear
i think i have decided that TD2 is my friend
TD2 đ€ź
probably nothing
TD2 master race
schad u wanna know something cursed
i almost timed out on TD2 with a 2 sack earlier
i hate chiron so much
yeah
chiron is still so nice on 40 heat
no i hate it with a passion
are you taking CP2 JS3 or something
something about it does not jive with me
LOL i was just doing like
JS2 CP1 or something
idr
i had like 60 seconds left after beatign dad
jesus no
i think what happened was
i was just doing drunken flourish and running away
i wanted to play the weapon as little as possible
so i let hangover do the job for me
chiron stinky dude
is it?
drunken flourish is normal isnt it
on chiron
its either that or deadly flourish
Yeah.
I think ledger did an explanation of why drunken flourish is inferior to straight damage builds
I personally think it's awful
unless you're doing some niche strat like piercing volley
lol
because I think it applies hangover to everything
oh no
the fox has come
to correct me
alright tail
and tbh, i could not care less about chiron builds
let's hear why I'm wrong
chiron can go burn for all i care about it
no i don't even play chiron that much i have no strong opinions
i slapped on deadly flourish for my 50 and called it a day
I thought you're loling me
okai
pog frog you're up for a fun adventure if you think chiron is that bad
I can't wait until you tell us the tales of your gilga run
oh no i thought croven's comment about using chiron as little as possible was funny
i feel like i'll enjoy gilga more
because i'll just slap splash dash on and then yeet myself around
I'm saving this comment and will @ you with it when the day comes đ
dash memes being fun and effective because of ruthless on gilga is great tbh
with some maims here and there to boost them even further
perhaps you need to empty dash more
a splash dash primary run would also work on Eris
it does help :)
since it is the only aspect that gives you general bonus damage
Tailesque how do you deal with the salt overload from playing AP2?
just special and dash
I'm struggling to remain positive at my 56 run
the dopamine received from getting a good hammer or boon every once in a while
it's honestly just kinda determination to get the thing done that you set out to do
but of course with breaks if needed
I see
I havent seen pat or a good hammer/build in so long đŠ
I just want jolted
or a decent hammer
but no
Third serrated in a row pog
They do travel in threes
Makes sense
doing nem 50 heat runs right now
lernie is so scary
out of the 9 heat spawns
7 were blue
aaaaa
how kill fo2 slammers with sword
I did live, but with 3hp after losing tooth haha
since people are advising me to drop Approval Process for my 32 heat, I feel that UC, CF and TD are doing more to hurt my builds than AP1
TD2 and I'm having trouble beating Elysium with it.
20 imaginary currency says that he's running CP2/JS3
TD makes you skip encounter rewards/take shops where you don't anything
I just misclicked buying darkness on charon shop đ
why do they make the interact so close together đ
ruthless is OP when gilga actually lets you use it for free off the bat
and pog frog if you actually do it with tidal dash imma be impressed
AP1 makes you take bad boons and hammers I tend to avoid it until the 40s of heat. it really isn't that bad to pick up a boon to sell for UC
Yes
Your game is broken
If you get to hades and it has 3 phases ask Retrash what to do
holy hell this is hilarious
Iâm basically doing a dash only run
if only I had Poseidon T2âs
that's how it be with gilga
yeah tidal, thunder and blade are probably the best ones
passion is ok, just doesn't get much in terms of things to put on top like the others
other than sweet surrender
remember the time
pseudo thought
he's only good at 1 weapon
and I said
if you're good at 1 weapon you'd be good at others
đ
grats pseudo
nah I'm still going to choke it
đ
I did lose my DD in heroes
and I didn't leave time to get sacked
only 30s left
Yeah just get a 2 sack
just game better and 2sack shows up smh
this is so stupid
I didnât click my attack or special once throughout all of elysium
wish I had breaking wave tho
Poseidon tier 2s are the best
no
got 2 sack
choked dad
am bad
don't deserve that tbh
played so awful
I really don't know how to play dad safe with melee weapons
like at all
yeah itâs really hard
donât beat urself up, getting to dad on 50 nem is really impressive
I've just never learned how
I learned just enough playing safe to not die on nem sword speedruns
and I still do that sometimes
come to speedrunning :)
I did 53 heat, happy with that, AP2 is basically adding an extra layer of luck
yeah I gave up on my AP2 beo runs
I uninstalled the game now
I'm an AP1 gamer
it's making me unhappy and making me do less useful stuff with my life
I already heard that before
gonna leave the server so I don't get tempted, see ya everyone
was nice knowing you all
Dang he gone
I slayed this beast yesterday. Good riddance.
I did it just now
probably my favorite 40 heat, this was hilarious
1 sec, getting screenshot
yeah that's not very imperdable of you
What's the go-to cast for poseidon sword
Zeus? Artie?
Feels like true shot exit wounds is probably a reasonable strat to set up for mirage shot as well
Though exit wounds might be one of the most overrated boons in the game
phalanx is all the rage now
Phalanx poseidon? I can see it
yeah it's pretty fun and effective
I just did a phalanx hera though
especially if you get lightning phalanx
I crave variety
I mean, it is, but it shouldn't matter that much at 40 :3.
I like arty cast too if ur not into phalanx atm
Easier to communicate with people
I guess cast buffing even works if you're not dislodging casts
beam and blade are kinda lame though because no aspect gimmick beyond slightly boosted casts
Yeah
Knowing the english names and stuff
Also dio
(though I have absolutely timed out to TD2 on Chiron before lmao)
and that yeah
beam blade and trippy kinda need the duos
Although the french version is amazing
The french translation does seem great
I feel like flood flare would be a pain
Just because melee+poseidon
But probs a decent amount of damage
flood shot is perfectly fine on poseidon sword
it just can struggle a bit in aspho because everything with knockback can struggle a bit in aspho
also i feel bad schad left before i could post 40 gilga :(
Eh he needs a breather
I always get megasad when I play cast aspects in Asphodel lol
Yeah seriously
I did two heras in a row and died on the first one because I missed on two hermes pickups for the legendary
There are spots you can shoot the cast that are literally inaccessible
"goodbye dps, into the pits of Mt. Doom with you."
Just gotta wait and plink plink plink
yeah thats why crush shot on hera is my favorite
i would like phalanx but you just lose casts
so much
But I missed on the first run I tried and then immediately died to slam dancers
Got there on the second but it's still boon roulette
Crush shot makes a lot of sense, casts go where you tell them to go
Unfortunately the games takes that a bit literally and you really have to land your shots with Crush Shot Hera lol
It's a weird artillery
Pff, landing shots with a bow
Oh, boo, just finished reading the backlogged posts. We lost Schad đŠ
Yeah, it wasn't too big of a surprise. The high heat burnout is real.
yeah i feel like playing this game at a high enough level in any context is going to cause some burnout
seen a lot of speedrunners taking a bit of a break too recently
Breaks are good
for sure
I don't think I would've still been enjoying this game if I'd been playing it non-stop this whole time lol
i think personally, moving between high heat and speed is helping
if i ever get frustrated with one i can move to the other
speed definitely frustrates me more
Yeah Schad mentioned he ran out of projects to keep him interested so he was really committed to his one masochistic venture
i just play an actual different game sometimes which helps
as much as i like hades i really enjoy not playing it sometimes
Yeah, another game, or a book, or cataracts surgery. The normal getaways.
i got gifted slay the spire recently so ive been meaning to start it up
i play a lot of monster hunter, dark souls/bloodborne
will do
lately been playing a taito shooter called dariusburst
I am a card gamer first and a hades gamer second
i think im still into hades enough that i'll keep going w it tho
I'll def be playing Rise when it comes out
you even have the health curse đ
very classic beo start
oh yeah tail is that the one you were saying helps you with witch rooms LOL
I played RoR for a while, it's a very good game but it didn't grip for a long time like Hades did.
I think the runs can take too long, for one. It's kind of exhausting.
^this is honestly how i feel with super high heat sometimes
like 50
slogging through 30 minutes of aspho and elysium just to get like 4 sacked
yeah i def try to make TD3 work before TD2
Oh for sure. I spread out my 50 projects pretty wide lol.
just couldn't do it for chaos shield lol
LOL
I just got lucky that RNG favored me and I finished 50 Rama and 51 Chiron so quickly.
i've actually watched that show recently lmao
I slotted a lot more time into those projects than they took
there's actually a version of that meme
l m a o
with "following zeus special" and "attacking enemies"
that was made a while ago, for baj
his brain is permanently split into 2 fully functioning parts
Zeus shield feels like those GDQ runs where one player controls both player characters
that's how all my 50+ clears on stream felt like. ah, splitting bolt eris. ah, charged shot beo. lightning phalanx poseidon etc.
I'm still mindblown you can aim the shield on KBM. It's not enough for me to relearn controls but yeah that's so sick lol.
I also find it amusing that I've gotten closer on my nem sword high heat attempts than my rama, zeus or hestia attempts
but yeah the aiming in kbm is sometimes really nice
but sometimes awful
like I love it for the shield (other than maybe for the special)
but for the rail attack? bleh
good for rail special though
yeah making scint feast work well on baby hestia was a bit of a challenge for faster moving opponents like hades
because of controller
yeah aiming that with a control stick seems rough
I just click on the enemies haha
maybe I should set up a controller sometimes just to see how it is
never even tried it
the autoaim is okay for a decent chunk of situations but then when i want to lead a fast opponent it's just... awkward
You can't really auto aim at the hellfire bombs in a chaotic room lol. It's pretty close to impossible
ah I see
yeah I turn auto aim off entirely for most weapons on kbm
I just hate how it makes me attack the wrong enemy/clones/ruins multi hits
I only use it for rail at this point
Also yeah leading shots with Hestia is really rough with controller. You need to be in a particular position or the shot will miss 100% of the time on a moving target
because the attack is just too hard to hit consistently while dashing around with rail
achilles special autoaiming at pots :)
The downsides are still pretty small comparatively, obviously, otherwise we'd turn it off
achilles special with auto aim sounds terrible haha
itâs usually fine
yeah obviously it lets you hit things
until you get to dad :)
idk I play most games kbm
I play most games kb :)
I'm just more used to it
also I don't own a good controller
I like platformers and action games with controller.
needing to play with auto aim is a big part of why I don't like rail
Rama is a weird one for me. I would love to play the main shot without auto aim but having to aim the special would be a massive pain in the pooper
yeah that's how I feel
I turn off auto aim but then I miss like 1/4 specials
but being able to adjust the main attack to snipe 3 things with triple shot?
chef's kiss
the autoaim has definitely made me adapt more to actively spacing and positioning myself to make shots line up
Yeah, Rama would theoretically be able to do a lot more trickshotty things without auto aim but I'm a filthy casul and I would miss specials left and right
accounting for autoaim's wonkiness in real time
I agree that puzzle is fun.
Yes I would too
I tried one run without autoaim and missed so many shots
Me too, only tried once lmao. Died out of salt.
I tried it with and without and auto aim frustrated me more
idk I just don't like it
I think i tried it with Lucifer and it was so bad
Yeah it's definitely a preference thing. Fwiw I think from a git gud perspective the ceiling on no auto aim is probably (?) higher
Not accounting for stuff like auto aim locking on to enemies off screen
yeah off screen is annoying
You can already kind of do that with casts though.
Nah I meant it in a positive way. It's a godsend on Hestia and Zag Bow for me
no I meant no auto aim off screen is annoyinng
Just kind of randomly firing into the Aether and assuming auto aim will find something
Oh oh
yeah I would love being able to just wave my hand in the general direction of a wavemaker and have it die
Lul
They certainly Auto aim on you from off screen.
It's only fair you can do it back lol
also I hate when I rely on auto aim to aim for me
but the enemy hasn't finished spawning yet
so I just completely wiff
pseudo you don't need to turn off autoaim when you have aim at cursor because it does almost nothing
it does almost nothing so I just prefer not to have it
it messes up my multi hits
by locking on
I think Iâll use TD2 for now lol
when I want to hit with the edge of the attack
it sort of soft locks you cursor but the effect is negligible
do you use aim at cursor?
No shame in that :3. I still mostly exclusively play TD2
I suppose on kbm not having autoaim is probably easier
It took me a lot of time to even notice that Auto Aim had an effect. For a long time I thought it was disabled when you use Aim at Cursor
Honestly I wish there was a working aim assist on mouse
it only affects a few things, and I like about half of them
but since it just feels weird/bad to me I turn it off
I often miss shots and what's worse you spend takes alot of time to line up your ranged attacks so it is sometimes slower
oh I'm definitely in the minority in how much I don't like auto aim yeah
Bow especially was excruciating at first especially when you have to move the cursor from one side of the screen to the other for
I remember it was very hard to properly damage Theseus when he retreated after throwing spear
I do hate the autoaim when you don't use Aim at Cursor - it makes lobbing hard
As I said I do use it for non rama bows and for rail
*hate not have
If I had a controller, the only way I would use it is I remember someone on reddit had messed with the settings and made it so you could ai with the right stick essentially turning the game into a twin stick shooter
but even with autoaim I still miss shots and you have to be almost pixel perfect especially with spear or shield special
Some times with spear attack also
the hitbox on that is so thin
you can a little off and the hit doesn't connect
the reason I don't like it is it only auto aims if your curser is on the enemy, where I often just click between me and them or behind them
since it's just a direction
so it feels very inconsistent
yeah then you can ignore it
yeah but it just means that every once in a while my curser randomly locks and I get confused
If I can't rely on it, I don't want it
if I had been playing with it from the start, I would probably be used to it
but I turned it off like day 1 when I first got the game
just out of habit
back in EA
Yay hating timer buddies! I wonder whatâs the highest heat TD2 is reasonable at? I finished my tasks for today so time to start some runs lol
retrash does it at 50+
Itâs insane
so you can go quite high with TD2
I watched retrash gilga 53 and the entire time i was like 0_0
I wish I was good enough at EM4 to take it at high heat lol
One thing where the autoaim is good is that it locks to moving enemies
But EM4 with SD is...yeah
Itâs not bad
yeah that fight is tough
With beo em4 is free heat
it's true đ
:)
How does beo like DC
beo does not like DC
It doesnât
don't take DC pls
Ok noted
like dracons can teleport behind you and if your were aiming with them then the aim will just follow them
costs more time than JS I find
Itâs not like fists or Rama then
This is a good beo 32 setup
Where DC isnât bad
If you are looking for one
snow burst = good build
CF2 on beo monka
Iâll replace TD3 with FO1
not pinning charged shot smh
personally id prob go FO1/2, TD2, and some JS instead of CF
I would replace CF2 with FO1 but yeah that seems reasonable
tho thats just my take
No i wanted to highlight that mirage shot screwed my over
you can do TD3 but i find it much more comfy to do TD2
I like td3
I dislike TD3 in general
screwed me over too in 50
I donât like being reliant on sacks
For 32 i really like td3
i had so many chances for it to show up
beo can do td3 easy if you know how to play it
Can we talk about AP2 real quick
do we have to
I donât ever run AP yet but sure?
Astaos just hates ap2
don't run ap pls
AP sounds miserable
Iâve started to hate it so much just by watching him
My AP2 is bugged
And like a 50+ heat thing
its like a mid 40s thing
AP1 is like a 40+ thing
Triple jab, extending jab
ap2 is a 50+ thing
i avoid it at 40 but it is a legitimate option at 40 heat
I took ap2 on my hestia 40 and it was miserable
yeah I usually don't take it at 40
Iâm still amazed bablo has a 40 streak
Never take it below 50
AP2 is "i seriously either cannot or really don't want to put heat elsewhere" last resort type deal
I want to high heat streak someday
what tail said yeah
Yeah
Tailesque over here streaking at 50
for beo, I can't take RI3 because my weapon doesn't work
It's like the game does not want me to get good stuff
It really doesnt
but game does not know I will try again and again
so my 57 heat pact RI2 AP1 all else maxed
I am a witness to that
Until I succeed
so avoid AP2 as long as possible haha
What heat are you trying
50
And I assume GY right?
Astaos
astaos? yeah GY is a good guess
He can make it to the heroes a lot now
I did not need to care about Lernie
Itâs just the timer
So I wonder what everyoneâs least favorite fury is at high heat
Meg
Meg
Imo
High as in high enough dying to furies is reasonable
I'm honestly not sure
pew pew pew
Why is Meg worse than Alecto
Yeah
I hate Meg bullet hell yeah
And the spin is hard to dodge
Alecto is like trying to mimic GY's spin but it's actually bad
same as croven
like "fine" since its still high heat but
not as bad as alecto
meg isn't that bad most of the time but alecto can be rough
yeah
especially since i run RI2 frequently
lol same tail
