Plus it's 3 heat which you don't have to put into anything else
im definitely not doing td3 lmao
I would remove HS and DC2 for DC1 + UC
hmm i havent had any issues with dc2, i use it nearly every run
oh fr? i didnt know hs affected those
Yea it affects styx poison, lava, and the pots as well as everything else you would consider a trap
in terms of losing boons underworld customs is generally less bad than convenience fee
and it's 2 heat
okay gotcha
I like UC personally
UC is not a big deal, you just need to track what boon you have and what boon you want to sell
I just think it's a neat mechanic
you can usually just buy a boon to sell and get most of your gold back
just make sure to have a trash boon
CP generally is not worth it, it makes bosses pretty significantly slower/harder
I have yet to turn on CP for a genuine high heat run
and I'm doing 40 heat runs at this point
I would say more HL will almost always be easier than more CP
going from 160% to 180% damage is smaller than going from 100% enemy health to 115%
I step in traps a decent amount, so if possible avoid HS, but sometimes it's necessary
HS isn't awful but you need to play a lot more careful
i find its most difficult for me in asphodel
it makes the lernie fight tricky with EM2 HS
i dont rly have issues w traps but i do with magma
but yeah my biggest advise here would be to swap CP1/CF1 for UC
HS can be turned on at 40+ heat
what is a decent 40 heat pact for rama
I also tend to think HL is easier than HS
ive already taken hl5 and dc2, among other things
thanks for the advice yall
if more than 5% of your incoming damage is from traps, HS deals more to you
and for me it definitely is haha
(I take HL5 and HS though pretty much always)
do i take fo2 at 40 heat, i feel like ill die with it
i have 0 practice with fo2
This is what I used
But I also didn't use BP2 which I feel more comfortable with now
JS3 over bp2?
Yea definitely use BP2
i still have 2 heat leftover
i wanna do something without fo2
only have js1 on rn
I mean you could just take that pact and swap FO2 with BP2
then put on HS instead of one of the JS if you are scared of timer
or if you feel like pain you could do AP1
nah
but I don't like AP1
AP is rigged
I would do HS + JS2 though
I replaced FO2 with AP1 + JS2 for my 24x40 melee aspects
on another note: just finished 32x6, with the last run being a guan yu charged skewer run
gamer
as always, take my rama advise with a ton of salt because I've lost every high heat rama run I've ever tried haha
wait on lc4 do centaur hearts still have an effect?
huh weird
LC only affects healing, not +max hp. So fountains and food mostly
Healing =/= getting hp
gotcha
if i purge a boon is it possible to get it back again?
cuz i think i gotta purge divine dash š
you can get it back yes
also how do you have to sell athena dash?
do you only have like 2 boons?
There are forms of healing that are unaffected by LC
Like Stubborn Roots and Draining Cutter
im tryna get merciful end and its the only boon i have thats not a requirement for that
you have 3 boons then? ares attack, athena special and athena dash?
usually you can pick up 4 in tart I find
but yeah if those are your 3 you may have to sell dash
I'd say at that point it's important to get ME as fast as possible because you really don't have a lot of damage prior to getting it
do keep in mind that if UC only shows you 3 good boons you can roll the sell well
if you have a trash boon to sell that it just doesn't show
one time i got too boon hungry bc of uc and i couldnāt pom the right boons kekw
lesson learned
hell yes i got divine dash back
Wtf you can put a bow emoji in your name
Encapsulates what I'm about.
TEACH ME YOUR WAYS
Lol ledger
just copy paste
if youre on pc
just write /nick Paper - emoji here
dont need to change your username
the most first world of problems
i want to kill myself with elysium eggs to activate SD to heal but my athena legendary is wasting TD time
does one satyr tunnel count as a chamber for the purpose of sd?
Each room
okay cool
main styx chamber doesn't either
do you lose time in sack rooms?
yea
if you ask me, there shouldn't be any time loss in sack rooms
does draining cutter work with LC4?
Yes
Yea any weapon based healing like GY spin, Cursed sword, and Draining Cutter aren't affected by LC
Also Stubborn Roots still works
i never realized how easy stubborn defiance makes high heat ;w;
stubborn roots best boon
Lol, Draining Cutter used to be the werirdo exception
also im getting a liking towards gy and i dont know how to feel about it
Join the pain in Astaos' stream lol
Is it still "final day"?
this time for sure
lmao
I derailed his progress though, he's trying out my AP2 TD2 setup, but I don't think it'll work for GY
Not enough hammers that do anything
Interesting
Grats!
Pog gamer
at this point i feel like ive done everything there is to do in the game lol
story wise that is
Yeah, for most of us here, Hades is a lot about setting and fulfilling personal goals
But really I just wanna play more Hades
rip
Lol, yeah, that's more or less what I'm saying. The ultimate goal is to enjoy your time.
It's also probably worth noting perspective, which can be hard to gauge in this channel
People like Tail were pushing heat two years ago
There is an end to the heat spiral for some people
I pretty much quit after 6 weapons 32 heat
Somewhat counterintuitively, the higher in heat you climb, the better the game is at making you feel like a garbage fire at playing it
Dunning Krueger in practice lmao
For me if thereās still something in the game that I havenāt done I donāt feel like Iāve finished the game
^
64 heat is an option within the game the devs planned on people beating and while it may take me a long time that is ultimately my final goal
I have some funny gimmicks like never upgrading my mirror in my hell mode save because that seems fun to me
the devs certainly did not plan on people beating 64 heat
If they truly didnāt expect anyone to beat it why would it be an option?
to allow for deeper customization of the pact at different difficulty levels
if 40 was max heat (i remember someone saying 40 was the highest they balanced the pact around at all), then all 40 heat runs would be the same
i mean all limiters and all gods exist in transistor and bastion :/
but aspects are so different that they want different pacts
idk if i have the patience of 24/32 either but screw it
and having all of those on is stupid hard i doubt the devs could do it
Right but they could have limited the amount of heat you can put on the pact
But they didnāt
I do wish endgame wasn't just "max everything but RI, then hope for the best", but it is what it is
RI4 is just so unbelievably painful
Iām telling you they could have limited the amount of heat to 60 or something else but they didnāt
because it would have been arbitrary ?
in fact 64 is a bit cleaner
Right but thatās the thing
the skelly statues go 8 -> 16 -> 32
You have rewards for every square increment
did they truly intend for max heat to be beaten or is it just a result of being the summary of all possible pacts? 
i think that what happende imo :3
like
yeah 64 is only in hell mode anyway
the second for sure
i dont think they expected people to turn all limiters on in transistor but its been done :/
there's no reward for 64
wouldnt be surprised if there was some cool dialogue tho
I mean I highly doubt they expected anyone to beat 60
there isn't
its prob possible but it seems like torture rn
there isn't even dialogue for first run
has anyone beat 64 heat??
no
no
highest beaten was 60
(unseeded)
i mean if youre mechanically good enough you can theoretically beat it
oh yea :/
realistically
td3
no amount of skill can carry bad boons through a 64 heat run in 20 minutes
it is technically possible
waiting for someone to make a max heat tas
but I do not think anyone will ever do it
lmao
64 seeded coming soon :TM:
the route will be done this weekend
then baj just has to beat it
pog
yea git gud
well with the route AP2 is irrelevant, UC is mostly irrelevant, TD3 is sort of irrelevant due to free rooms, so it's technically more like a mirrorless 51
note: AP2 was not irrelevant for assembling the route, it did make it slower lol
it's basically an execution check on the few combat rooms there are to not take damage
and then a boss rush
in between
really though I do think he'll do it
for sure
but it's zeus, and the damage is sick
but I think baj is good enough with that buid
I would lose that fight for sure lmao
but baj is good
well technically RI1 is sort of irrelevant, but you can't take the other 3 without 1
since you don't need rerolls/rarity chances
You don't
I don't have it
so maybe a 49 heat mirrorless basically
well thats been done already so im not sure what we're proving here
lol

cries
bright's right, route cancelled
yay
Is there a limit to the number of rooms that can spawn from a particular room in a seed?
there are some constraints, like the room itself (like the layout, # of exits, etc) is decided in the room before, like when you enter chamber 2 the rooms + rewards for chamber 3 are set
but if it's a boon/hammer the exact reward isn't set yet
and then you don't want to waste too much time doing RNG manipulations
so you need to offset the rng for chanber 3 reward in chamber 1?
if you want, say, rare crop in chamber 3, you just need to make sure it's a demeter in chamber 1
i see
the door to chamber 2 will say like
[reward in chamber 2]
room 1 - heart
room 2 - demeter
and then the manips in c2 are for the boon reward in c3
i might want to make a dio beo route depending on how much para has started
for any heat i assume
ye
any heat is more stressful because you really have to optimize chaos and keeping your manip number low
IMO
yee
also you lose some flexibility since you can't cast do increment RNG by 1
you can only do summons
whats the rule again? <10 if the timer isnt paused?
rule of thumb yeah
i have like 20+ lol
but i'm not going for a low time, just a clear
imagine dropping route on a 20+ summon in styx tho
styx shouldn't have too many
fewest manips to guarantee 2 sack basically
and splitting bolt maybe lol
routed energy
this run is insane what
lightning phalanx greater recall by elysium
exit wounds
set up for mirage shot
then i never get paddy and die in styx or smthn lmao
LP mirage shot 
now hopefully UC doesn't screw me over
Was about to beat eris 40 heat on first try, hades was at like 20% health on 2nd phase
But then his laser glitched through the pillar and hit a pot that killed me
so tilted rn
perfect hermes if i get flurry in styx
PADDYYYY
this is the bestrun i've had lmao
also 120% extra enemies is very annoying
1.4 * 1.8?
WAIT
I'M DUMB
FOR SOME REASON I DID 1.2*1.8
LMAO
yeah that'd be 32% more
do i take unshakable mettle
or do i roll for extra DD
is mettle even good
If you're on AP0 I'd also probaly roll for DD
yeah alright
64 Heat is not designed to be beatable nor is it designed to be unbeatable. They simply give you the option to try.
Max Heat was not a concern when they balanced things, but you can still try it if you want.
Patty buff?
yeah
i was gonna go down
since there's a 450 artemis
and i could potentially get the legendary
paddy has 5 chambers left
eh i think i can beat hades as i
s
4/24
okay wh
i took demeter to activate ice wine
i didn't expect uncommon harvest
Nice! Thatās my current goal, which weapon was easiest and hardest for you personally?
What about zag bow
and if it gets crossed out
3 failed eris runs
all because of the witches
and some incredibly stupid BP combos
have you tried shooting them before they can shoot you
4 sack killed the last run
But we will get there
Perfect god pool too
DD on first styx room
After the second miniboss we had hope
Then it gave us a 4 sack
Who knows it could've been a 5 sack as well
I feel no shame instantly Meg'ing Erebus super elite witches on the spot. Burn.
They only happen in Erebus and Dad summons. They have unique behaviors and a quadrillion armor typically
E.g. Dad's super elite greatbows shoot 10 arrows
Vs. normal 3
Super Elite Witch in Erebus camps pillars and continuously kites to the opposite side of where you are. It only pops out to shoot 3 splitter projectiles, similar to the Elysium splitters
But 3x
You're exceptionally likely to see it in room 1 (so technically chamber 2) Erebus gates, because of how the points for enemy types work out.
Yeah I noticed the armor at dad fight is really hard to break
I notice it a lot when fighting drakons
at the hades fight
I like getting the armor piercing upgrades for those things alone
Like Breaching Cross.
In TD3 practice I just timed out to Lernie :/
and I felt like I was going as fast as I could
I took a lot of time on Barge of Death
Is there a way to make Barge of Death fast?
the middle management version doesn't seem to be able to be fast
I find it backwards, the non-MM version is sooo slow. Sometimes like 3 whole waves
Are you using Meg to shred armor when the fight starts?
I didn't that time
how much of a difference does it make? how many mini bosses are in asphodel
i was wondering whether to save it for another mid boss or no
I'll try using Meg there next time
Barge, Power couple and the Witch circle are the 3 minibosses of Asphodel
I mean how many encounters can I see in one run
mini boss encounters
one or two?
Ok good to know, I can fire off Meg in the mid boss then
there is 1 midboss per biome, unless you try and skip it
I can still only play games 30 mins at a time for at least this weekend so I guess that makes some things more frustrating?
which is slower than not skipping it
Barge is faster in mm in my opinion
It is yeah
Ideally the crystal eats trap as soon as it spawns, then eats summon
Then you kill it.
I didnāt think of using the trap to damage crystal, does it always spawn in the same place?
Iām not sure whether it would be better to do TD2 and redistribute heat but if I do that and EM2 that will be tough to make a pact, Iām not sure what to do
EM3 seems bad for fists
Long Knuckle makes it easy. I avoid EM3 if I'm below 40
Depending on mood I'll also avoid it at 40
Long Knuckle makes EM3 easier
Since you can more easily schmoove out of the way of Asterius's melee attacks
Just to be clear you mean you avoid EM3 on fists, not in general?
Yes, and sword
I technically avoid Hades the game on sword on principle, EM3 included
lol same
? Is it that hot a take? I think EM3 is fun, and I just take pacts I like at 32
oh, I thought you might have been saying you avoided EM3 in general until 40ish for reasons
Oh, no, I meant I avoid EM3 on fist/sword until 40
yeah for fists and sword EM3 is an extra challenge for sure
in other news explosive arty rama makes you forget shared suffering is a button that exists lol
yet another weapon that plays like a more fun version of Gilgamesh than Gilgamesh
gotta wait out the stupid spin to win tho
I got twin shot with it too and I think I might have seen god
God looks a while lot like chunking Asterius for a Megās worth of damage off of a random crit apparently
Lol, why would you NOT use suffering with Explosive Shot? The damage multiplier is so good
bro
I was zipping through rooms so fast
I didnt even have time to special
I tried to force myself to do it for a second for that exact reason lol
but 90% of stuff in a just evaporated in a single barely-charged shot anyway lol
It was wild. imagine having a weapon whose only attack is dem fistsā giga cutter. Thatās what playing it was like in most rooms
That was not my experience, and I actively like Deadly + Explosive on Rama. But lol, won't begrudge your fun with it.
and then shared suffering took it into meg levels of damage per shot for bosses
on a crit, of course
I wasnāt at very high heat of course, just EM3 LC4 MM FO2 TD3, training weight kind of stuff
I hadnāt done explosive rama before that and I was blown away
I really like Deadly Explosive Zag bow. I do think that is very good
Let's not carried away lol, it's not Rama
idk I feel like the hammers mean more to zag than they do to rama
They do
but rama is in its own special tier of busted in general
I put it aside for lots of thinking because well duh itās the s-tier, now what else is there š
Nifty that the community is all like "duh Rama S-tier" now. How people forget š
I didnāt know explosive could be so great with rama though. I though losing powershots would hurt much more but you just. donāt. care.
I wasnāt around before 1.0 but I canāt see how rama was ever anything but amazing
best balanced attack/special kit in the game and a broken debuff perk lol
thatās what an s-tier looks like
Even post 1.0 it took a while to catch on. People see the longer charge time and immediately dismiss the aspect.
oh man, second I saw shared suffering I knew there had to be some magic in that aspect
Tail pushed the aspect and got a lot of attention for doing it.
+60% over a whole room is a huge cumulative damage boost
gotta love how metas evolve
Lmao, part of my hobby in Early Access was wading in the pits of builds-and-combat to defend Rama from the hordes of haters
I was pretty close to the only one who liked it, it was so ubiquitously hated
how can something that can vaporize an entire room at once from relative safety be bad lol
people man
š¤ oh yeah ppl thought it was rly slow
Tbf even now, the aspect has a really big learning curve at high heat, since you have to figure out when to get the power shot in in the first place.
to be fair it was not as good as it is now
it is techskill demanding, Iāll give it that
But it wasn't even like 10% as bad as people said it was lol.
you need to be good at basic bow timing, then you need to learn Ramaās own timing
though explosive helps that a lot Iāve discovered now lol
bow but good
donāt think I powershotted a single time the entire run
How should I time my Meg in the MM Bomber Tartarus fight?
steamrolled the game
to be fair there was a time in early access where rama was just zeus special spam
You don't have to do anything fancy, just time it a bit after you see the summoning circle
was shared suffering the same back then?
It started off as 80
80 percent or 80 damage?
Lol, you sound incredulous but I can't emphasize how universal the hatred was lol
bow was disliked in general I think
oh, did they buff up the charge time?
I could see hating it if it was worse
itās right this side of barely tolerable right now
I think they only buffed the charge speed by 25%. Which is a lot, don't get me wrong, but still.
all bows were buffed across the board iirc
Lol ok, this is making more sense
bow gang did it
bow was really suffering back in the day lol
now bow is top tier >:)
bow is the best weapon as a class and itās kind of not close
4 stone-cold killers in that lineup
The with bow before was that its hammers were absurdly good, and the base weapon was absurdly bad, so it kind of evened out but you have to get lucky
among them a top-2 aspect
They then buffed the weapon to be in line with other aspects... and buffed the hammers.
They buffed Twin Shot
lmfao
I think they do a lot of balance around selection rate and I assume a lot of people found the old range reduction quite limiting
little did they know that bow was a melee weapon all along
how did they go through all of that and sniper shot is still a thing š
this actually explains a lot
They buffed Sniper Shot's width by 33% iirc
in nexusmods I think itās Pony that made a mod to buff the bow
It is now... still unusable
and I always wondered to myself why such a respectable guy would make such an odd mod
But I haven't noticed it doing a nonzero number of things on my AP2 Zag bow runs. It's chipping in every once in a while
the range for sniper shot is still super unreasonable yeah
considering he straight out calls the bow the worst weapon in the game
but this is all starting to make sense now
Nonzero I mean pretty literally. It's best quantifier I can attach to the amount of work I see Sniper Shot doing
Nonzero
Much better than literally zero in the past though I suppose
Zag bow can use Sniper a lot lot better than Rama at least though, since you have to reposition for each shot and your charge is much faster
yeah like, it's hardly going to really make much of a difference but i def won't complain considering how good most other bow hammers are
And base crit chance does well with chunky bonus damage
I would never consider it lmao, it's been foisted upon me by AP2 and I've had to adapt
rip
It's still better than most Sword hammers
it doesnāt make the weapon stop functioning so definitonally itās better than at least half š¤£
To call Hoarding Slash nonzero would be stretching the mathematical definitions of what not being zero is.
And I'd call Hoarding Slash solid B tier for Sword lmao
sadboy hours
I am not touching sword with a 10 foot pole so I wouldn't know
but hoarding slash cleared max heat what do you mean :)
imagine having hammers that are only situationally worthless
this post brought to you by shield gang
Lol, is this in the same neighborhood of 62 heat prodigies? Not aware of this one
ah yeah, long story short "yeah i had some weird gold bug idk" while posting a victory screen of max heat zag sword
with like 140 max health
He couldn't buy hearts
I'd love to meet the guy who had to specifically code in the interaction for it to apply to damage after crit, because it is I think the only source of additive damage in the game that does that. "We can't let this get out of hand"
I still get hit a lot in FO2 even on low heat
thatās the point of leaving it on brother. Each bruise a lesson
are we counting clean kill
clean kill at least makes sense, it's additive damage to the crit multiplier, same as heart rend
:) So you know what to work on then.
@daring hedge now that you did all weapons 50 what are going to be your new projects?
not really sure honestly. might do streaks, might push higher heat on some aspects here and there, might do speedy 40 heat with more aspects
for sure, it just depends on my own patience with the grind lol
specifically getting good hammers, hermes greatest reflex, and chamber luck
the works
yeah, having hammers good enough for me to keep up with timer, extra dash to survive EM4, and not getting like 4sacked
i'm definitely going to try and stream more often; i know it's been kind of a dry spell lately
been busy with things
I do feel that something like 64 heat is impossible
Yeah that'll be epic
idk why i have to keep saying this lol
64 heat is demonstrably possible
itās highly impractical
improbable, even
but thereās nothing there which exceeds the limits of human reflexes or anything
The limits of human patience, though
SDs are a crutch
just look at tail's 50 heat speedrun
do that, but without boons, hammers, twice as many enemies, em4, and 1 dash
i remember when i joined this community, i ran across a convo where a couple people were being like āyeah idk if 40+ is possibleā
then when i was actually starting to push heat people were like āyeah only some aspects can do 50+ā
40+ impossible lol
the boundaries of whatās āpossibleā keep being pushed is what iām trying to say ig
indeed
only time will tell tbh
to be clear i wouldnāt necessarily be surprised if we never see unrouted 64
but i wouldnāt necessarily be surprised if we do
not sure
i dont really think theres that much of a diff btwn 63/64
62 will probably be done whenever someone decides to have the patience for it
63/64 unrouted? dunno
reduces your boons and such tho, since youāre burning gold on CF2 to use it
but yeah
just the fact you can make some mistakes makes it seem much more manageable
Would dark regeneration or chthonic vitality be the play in LC3
regeneration
just curious psuedo, how do you arrive at that #?
for sure
but like you said; still absurd
Why regeneration?
oh, just curious
you don't have mirror
okay iād have to math this out
actually I'm not sure
how much it would heal
the advantage of DR isnāt that it heals more, itās that it heals mostly after bosses when youāve taken a bunch of damage
so less of the healing is wasted
I imagine CV gets to 1 healed minimum
it can heal more, but to get that you need to buy darkness or use troves
and troves are a no go on TD3 ofc
CV also is waaaaay better in styx
darkness in wells is nice as an extra bandaid
if you were just doing LC3 and had a mirror regen is better IMO
interesting
regen with the boss darkness rewards heals you quite a bit
ok yeah 1 per room is nothing. I had you backwards
remember that LC3 hits DR harder than CV tho
since CV bottoms out at 1hp/chamber
but you could be right
idk
I wonder how nourished soul interacts with CV+LC3
we need wobbles in here lol
do this sometimes for 32s with LC0 š
he used to play LC3 non mirrorless all the time
actually i can check his screenshots
okay looks like wobbles thought DR was the play
Whatās CV
chthonic vitality
Oh ok
the mirror talent that heals 3hp/chamber
I was wondering what heat factor the acronym was
So I didnāt think of the mirror talent lol
Also I donāt use nourished soul much lol
I used CV for a hot minute before I discovered DR was better and itās a good buff for that
worth at least a point of healing per room
yeah DR is generally better for sure, unless youāre speedrunning
CV is good with LC0 because fountains already heal you a ton between biomes, so you overheal a lot
but with high LC fountains don't, so DR becomes better
yeah honestly before I started cranking up heat I didnāt take that much damage in general, so I valued the consistency
but DR represents much bigger burst healing after tough fights
and having darkness in wells is a good boost too
I went from 16 to 32 and in 32 I go LC4, I should turn on DR in practice runs since I mostly ran CV
thatās... a good point
DR really does have the potential to heal you for a lot more
I actually haven't done the math, but the reason I think DR is better is because bablo told me so lmao
Dark regen is only good if you've already got bounties and you need big heals after bosses but don't pop DDs
Like we're really not taking darkness rooms
oh yeah if you haven't done bounties DR is awful
if youāre on low heat and not running TD/speedrunning like 1 darkness trove will absolutely smash the healing you get from CV
oh yeah darkness troves are big
across the whole run tho
you can get more
you just donāt get it backloaded in styx
But you don't need to heal across the whole run, you need to close out
I would take 25 healing in styx vs 100 healing total
true
Also sometimes you get that fat nourished soul and hit +4 per chamber
iām just saying, in terms of raw numbers DR is more if you can seek out darkness
whether itās better or not is a more complicated question
DR is more healing, I'd just argue that it's less controlled and at less opportune times
In terms of the raw number yes it is more
some folks have argued the opposite
idk iām not even sure anymore at this point lol
honestly DR having extra heals in wells sends it over the edge for me
yeah lol
yeah I actually don't have much experience
I used DR briefly when I was doing 32 heat way back in the day
I very recently pulled off the LC4+SD bandaid
I used DDs back then I think
having the opportunity to have a second, cheap heal in a well roll is a clutch card to play that CV sadly Cant answer to
And I'll say I've been a CV gamer for almost all of my <32 runs
lotta folks told me DR was just plain better back in the day, so i just assumed that for ages
but i did some rough math a while back and the reality seemed more complicated than that
Chaos gates costing 6 less health and styx healing you for somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-40 health is nice
like I said I started off with CV because I thought the consistency would be a lot better
this conversation has only confused the question more for me
but wells being mini-bursts of health really tips it the other way for me
because then itās a semi-consistent burst heal
yeah just be king Solomon and cut the knot lol
Wait wells as in buying darkness?
yeah
Doesn't that pressure your gold a lot if CF is on
Any time youre buying darkenss in a well for healing is because youāre largely out of better options lol
but any port in a storm
How much darkness do you usually buy
if you want a lesser heal than a full health pack for instance
Isn't it like 25
60%
also bouldy darkness ā¤ļø
or if youāre bleeding badly and you need to make it through the next room
i miss clicked and got darkness from bouldy once
i just kind of sat there, rethinking my life choices
Ah right
itās not much, but itās like having a candy health in your well pool all of the sudden
Just feels like CV would be pretty comparable healing to that, it's obv way less than the post boss healing if you're not at bounty levels
for a decent price
Sure, but the price of free if you have CV on seems better
if youāre not buying darkness/getting troves, CV will heal you for more
yeah
btw for LC2 I do actually think bouldy is the best probably
if it wasnt for wells I would take CV for the consistency
but I feel like the well darkness pushes the needle back the other way for me
really?
just from epxerience
LC2 is so weird
yeah
plus his darkness
thatās not that much honestly
for whatever that is
46 with DR
imo it should be a full heal
I mean it still deals 1k damage
Has anyone done the math on the EHP of skelly
Eh I don't think they want that big of a health safety net on demand
Five full heals per run seems insane
it's also 30 gold per summon
gems should be more darkness imo
maybe you're right
at lc2 it might not be worth it. But still having a heal is nice
love my bouldy bro
Killing the boss is more effective healing than actual healing
i think ive literally only used meg
itās more the everything else for me
I can kill the boss myself, hand over the health and gold
more like āhehe i have a shield i can beat last hydra phase with 3 hp ezpz- oh iām deadā
I also haven't had non LC4 in a non-speedrun in forever
@edgy arrow are you me
if Iām at a low enough heat that Iām not running LC4*
i mean, thatās what i do
remember when i used antos in my high 50s and my only answer as to why was because i forgot to reequip meg
idk what you do
I dunno it's nice against... some things maybe
Wait a minute I have an idea
@daring hedge 50 heat Mort
ew
50 heat feather duster
rip mort
It was the one accomplishment I was certain you had not done
he tries his best
I pretty much always meg heroes + dad, aspho miniboss, elysium miniboss
sometimes I have 1 leftover though
i usually meg aspho unless its witches
usually used in styx miniboss
for me it's barge crystal/power couple but not witches
I meg witches with no dc out of habit
i keep accidentally using meg in styx, and then not having one for Dad
i am not good at counting
I love barge meg
barge meg makes me feel so powerful
I always set up meg -> trap at the start
yeah barge is often faster on my 50 heat runs than my any heat runs
for WHAT
you detonate the traps
yes
smh
c o w a r d
listen one day i might lose a promising run to an errant trap going off
game better?
a coward dies a thousand deaths tailesque
do you need to coerce the crystal to go towards a trap? or is it already in range when it spawns
well beo you can knock it into it
wouldn't know because for some reason there are no traps when it shows up :)
i hate it here
yeah I always hit it down
sorry i'm not using beowulf
but that's because if I hit it a different direction it would knock it out
not sure what happens if you just leave it
Tail, technically youāre a beo player prove me wrong
pretty sure I've done trap meg with other weapons though
yeah i just know it kind of drifts in a direction but unsure if it has to do with your position relative to it
youāve done 50, and that means youāre in like a 5 way tie for 3rd place
since you start the trap before it spawns
thatās podium
lol
I pop two traps and make it eat the third
beo players should I just do 55, or grind 56/57
If you hit the bottom right trap when the spawn circle shows up I think it always hits
56 is DC1 RI2 right
is 55 DC2 RI1
try the trap strats
i will lol
me destroying them is honestly muscle memory, i just kind of do it and i'm not sure when i started
might have been some HS trauma
I'm on hell mode
i feel that
wait
i did that for 50 which was maybe not smart idk
i used to do it for 45
oh no yeah that makes sense
my brain wasnāt working
DC1
i did DC0
dc1 is slow, but if you have never done the beo em4 fight it's fine IMO
CP easier than DC on beo imo
cp makes that fight pretty significantly harder
DC2 sounds extremely painful
DC is much slower
yeah
i was literally getting carried by body slams
i mostly remember your EM4 fight which was very clean
CP2 DC1 almost never time out until elysium with a trash build or 4+ sack
relatable lol
yeah it was clean
yāall always say EM4 is free on beo but thatās just cause youāre good at it
i lost like 3 acorn charges and >200 health in phase 3 iirc
yeah once you learn the em4 fight CP is fine to take
the fact you had acorn charges in phase 3 means it was clean
I'm at the point now where if I play well and have good damage I can beat EM4 with no patty/DDs
which I definitely could not say a few weeks ago
my first clean em4 fight ever was my 54 heat run
iāve actually been taking a break from beo and doing hestia stuff recently because dying to EM4 repeatedly is pain
i need to get good
I tried to learn the fight by watching retrash vods
But my sanity quickly unraveled so I did something else
What I consider a build and what he considers a build are... not the same
I did that fight so well
But he clears
yeah don't look at retrash vods for boon advise lol
playin hestia is not the way to get good imo
