Double zag

flat flicker
#

Skelly and zag with new banter

pseudo kernel
#

Damn, double zag and zag with skelly would just be Darren talking to himself

flat flicker
#

It already is that

dapper schooner
#

or would they have to share

quartz mantle
#

I think coop sounds dope

#

like imagine you have someone run Hades spear for debuffing and them another person running Rama or Hestia for damage

hoary pasture
#

lol

flat flicker
#

I’m more excited about the pvp possibility of Thanatos fights

#

except instead of than it’s two zags

quartz mantle
#

Ok but imagine Talos and Achilles for mega cast damage

#

Or just Talos and Beo

#

Talos debuff plus Beo base damage

dapper schooner
#

talos bouldy

#

it would only matter for bosses

#

beo oneshots everything else anyways

Incomplete idea but something inspired by bughouse chess

#

Ah makes sense

quartz mantle
#

Maybe I just don't want Eris to be dominant again lol

#

Cause in this case Gilga actually has a cool niche use as support for someone with a lot of flat damage

#

like Maim could buff Zeus or doom builds a lot

flat flicker
#

yeah i mean, redoing the meta would be a whole other can of worms

#

double eris rail prob still stonks

quartz mantle
#

I mean yea

#

funny gimmicks always seem cool but two times the power still kinda good

flat flicker
#

what if both needs to be in the special to get the eris buff to pop

#

idk

#

balanced game

Gilgamesh

#

What if friendly fire enabled

quartz mantle
#

Hades pvp tho

#

would be kinda gaming

#

Hestia one-shot meta

flat flicker
#

Pick five boons each and go

quartz mantle
#

I think it would be cool if you both went on a run and battled after every boss

#

Like you clear a biome then you go into Erebus and duel with what you have

bronze rapids
#

Max rarity evasion and second wind, Smair Gilga, RR

flat flicker
#

Would acorn work

dapper schooner
#

shield would be so toxic if there was PvP

#

and melee weapons are just inferior as usual

quartz mantle
#

Then you're just a prime target for getting specialed

quartz mantle
dapper schooner
#

beo block radius will block the special trust me bouldy

#

also to special you have to get in range of cshot

@undone tartan Thanks for tip about the pact. In fact i m bad if i play with stubborn defiance. I know i'll have to play with it for 32heats+ so better to learn to play with asap ^^. I don't know, getting back to 30% hp after a death and having only 1 chance per boss is scarying me. Maybe you have any tips so i could get used to SD?

hoary pasture
#

Just practice

#

Get better at dodging stuff

#

Especially bosses

undone tartan
#

LC4 SD takes practice to get used to

left prism
#

And remember to check if you actually have your SD before healing bouldy

undone tartan
#

Also remember that Athena can give extra DDs

cursive portal
#

always take the top option from patty

left prism
#

Charon wells for touch of styx is always nice to check

cursive portal
#

because the middle one doesnt heal you on LC4

undone tartan

#

yeah i know the trick for athena but thanks for remind me 🙂

empty reef
#

i laughed and felt so stupid at the same time

left prism
#

Ah you already experienced the classic i see

empty reef
#

xD

#

but yeah having only 1 chance per boss is scary

#

i guess it will make me improve my dodge skills

#

so its a good thing

left prism
#

Can also do the trade to hl5 and fo1 or 0 too

empty reef
#

^^

left prism
#

I somehow still dont die to that

undone tartan
#

I’ve done it right before beating C34 on a 50 heat EM3 run shadegrief

left prism
#

But i've thinked of "wait i didnt heal, nvm"

undone tartan
#

Ran into an arrow because I thought I had an SD

left prism
#

I still enjoy Haelian egg clip so much

#

Dying in 50 heat to that dusa

empty reef
#

well im fine with FO. HL is very hard for me because yeah i think i should focus more on dodging. Now that im also used to TD3 i think i should take the time to dodge and not rush all the time

gaunt fiber
#

FO makes HL dangerous

empty reef
#

yeah

#

i prefer higher FO and lower HL

#

but thats maybe a mistake

gaunt fiber
#

high HL and low FO is easier

left prism
#

Dmg up wont matter if you can react to it

empty reef
#

yeah that seems logic

#

exactly

#

i think i'll do some chill runs with no TD, just trying to improve my dodges

#

can be a good thing

undone tartan
#

Maybe

#

But I suggest practicing with TD because playing fast is also very important

#

Don’t play so fast that you play bad

#

Just play as well as you usually do, but quickly

#

Takes practice

empty reef
#

yeah 🙂

#

but i feel i rly improved with 32 heats. That's still a challenge, but not as hard as a week ago

raw cloud
#

im still struggling to clear 32 tbh

#

i havent been practicing much though

empty reef
#

just take time yeah

undone tartan
#

I feel like the easiest way to do 32 has to be with Hestia

raw cloud
#

im v e r y bad with hestia

empty reef
#

for the moment my easiest run was with beo

#

rly, rly easy

undone tartan
#

Yeah

raw cloud
#

ive gotten the closest with eris

undone tartan
#

But Beo requires some practice to be decent with

raw cloud
#

i could try beo thanthink

undone tartan
#

You could do a 32 with Hestia while only doing:
Attack -> Reload and dash -> repeat

#

What are you using now?

left prism
#

Btw @cursive portal on zag shield fo you use fiery or shadow presence (whitout dc ofc)

cursive portal
#

what heat

left prism
#

Gonna try 40

undone tartan
#

Without DC I’d imagine it has to be fiery right?

cursive portal
#

shadow def

undone tartan
#

Oh

#

Nvm

#

Lmao

cursive portal
#

heroes EM3 is the hardest part of the entire run

raw cloud
#

been trying to use eris primarily

undone tartan
#

Ah

#

What build

cursive portal
#

even harder than EM4 imo

#

that fight will just destroy you if you dont have enough damage to finish it quickly

#

so I will just hop behind asterius and start cshotting-attack spamming him for like 1500 damage

raw cloud
#

uhh depends but usually zeus or dio attack and then duos that help that

#

also had trouble setting up pact

undone tartan
#

At 32, always do Zeus

#

And look for jolted

left prism
#

Also should i cope with common aphro attack or at least rare

undone tartan
#

And prioritize Aphrodite or Athena so you can get Smair or DDs for safety

raw cloud
#

kk

empty reef
#

Athena saved me so many runs ^^

undone tartan
#

And take delta chamber over anything except your second piece of clockets

raw cloud
#

got it! thanks!

left prism
#

Delta chamber comfy

raw cloud
#

lc4 scares me tbh

undone tartan
#

I highly suggest it

empty reef
#

i agree, its scary ^^

undone tartan
#

It takes practice

#

But it’s worth it

left prism
#

Erebus gates for hp on tart can be so good too

#

So if you wanna practice those is worth

#

Specially early in tart

empty reef
#

i cleared all my 32s with DDs. But i wont go higher without SD i think

undone tartan
#

The ability to take hits in Elysium along with the extra heat from LC4 makes a huge difference

raw cloud
#

alr! id assume td3 and em3 too right? im pretty comfortable with both so

empty reef
#

yeah

raw cloud
#

going to try eris one more time and then see if hestia is any good for me

undone tartan
#

You could do EM2 if you prefer. At 32 heat, you have the liberty to make that choice

raw cloud
#

okay is: HL1, LC4, CF1, EM3, BP2, MM, UC, FO1, DC2 (eris), TD3 an okay pact?

possibly change to hl2 cf0

undone tartan
#

I’d personally probably do HL5 FO0 CF0

cursive portal
#

CF zag mad

bronze rapids
#

CF1 is fine

undone tartan
#

Or at least HL2 CF0

empty reef
#

^^

raw cloud
#

eh ive played with cf2 for practice and i can usually rack up enough gold to buy something at the before boss shops so i think i can do cf1

mossy zinc
#

Happens to me most often after Lernie somehow.

raw cloud
#

whats a high heat hestia build if eris doesnt work out?

mossy zinc
#

Heartbreak Strike.

#

That's the build.

cursive portal
#

tidal dash tart for crowd control if you're lower than 50 imo

raw cloud
#

alr can do that

cursive portal
#

then shackle into arti/aphrodite/athena/demeter attacks with a high %

#

some dash strike/attack/special chaos is nice

#

cluster rockets are great but rico,hazard,piercing are also quite good

raw cloud
#

kk

#

thanks!

undone tartan
raw cloud
#

yeah fair

#

could try hl2 cf0 then

undone tartan
#

I’m currently running 50 heat Hestia with RI2 AP2 and I’m starting Athena for divine dash and plan to swap to shackle if I don’t get an attack boon in Tart. What do y’all think of this plan

pseudo kernel
#

i would just do shackle start

#

cant really do divine dash start if you have ri2 and ap2

undone tartan
#

I can if I’m patient

pseudo kernel
timber pike

i felt so dumb

pseudo kernel
#

it happens to everyone

and it was right after beating lernie

it didnt take me long to win after that though so it doesnt matter too much now

#

Speeder bowmen, do they shoot so fast that it’s impossible to avoid subsequent shots once you’re in hitstun from one? Or am I bad

pseudo kernel
#

both

#

idk probably

#

they just shoot way too many arrows

undone tartan
#

Is it 5? Or 3

#

Wait I think it’s 1 normally, 3 armored, 5 or 6 in Hades fight?

pseudo kernel
#

3 armored so just double that and thats probably it

hoary pasture
#

9

pseudo kernel
#

lmao

undone tartan
#

I’m hearing a lot of mixed answers here bouldy

left prism
#

Too many arrows dusa

hoary pasture
#

go find one and let them go at it bouldy

#

You'll be here all day

undone tartan
#

I’m not gonna take a run all the way to Elysium for that

#

But yeah I’m very sick of speeder archers

#

Especially with slugger

#

Because I don’t love being combo’d for 120 from across the room

pseudo kernel
#

the fox says 9

undone tartan
#

In hades fight?

#

That’s really dumb

pseudo kernel
#

hades fight changes the amount of arrows they shoot?

undone tartan
#

Yeah that’s superelite

pseudo kernel
#

oh

undone tartan
#

In Elysium I don’t think superelite exists

pseudo kernel
#

didnt even know those existed

undone tartan
#

It’s just hades fight and Erebus gates

#

I think

#

Idk

pseudo kernel
#

lmao

#

i just clicked the link

hoary pasture
#

nice 30

left prism
#

still funny that it wasnt the spin that killed me but my contrller drifting and tanking 2 laser hits

shackle is just way better, or even RI2 AP1 and try to get an actual build

Hey retrash's run was tidal dash start

Dont gaslight

undone tartan

Question: Does ares' battle rage apply to rama's dash attack?

Battle Rage caption says "After slaying a foe, your next Attack or Special deals more damage." (There's no mention of dash attack.)

left prism
#

It does

wraith imp
undone tartan
#

“Attack” also applies to dash strike for everything except hammers (some hammers, not all of the time, it’s weird)

flat flicker
#

battle rage rama kinda a based idea

gaunt fiber
#

you prolly won't get the value

flat flicker
#

wait is the purge vowels meme still going on or are we done

#

With my 40 zag shield i have learned that getting free rooms is kinda nice lmao

#

Ended at bit below 13 mins when old run was still at phase 2 with 15 mins bouldy

bronze rapids
flat flicker
quartz mantle
#

I believe if an enemy dies to shared suffering you don’t actually get the battle rage buff

#

Plus there’s the whole problem where if you’re tagging every enemy with special you’re gonna waste that bonus damage on your 15 base damage special

undone tartan
#

Yeah battle rage is pretty bad on Rama in my opinion

quartz mantle
#

With DC0 it’s not a bad coping boon from Ares cause like nothing else from him is good outside of special and doom buffs

#

But it’s usefulness ends there

undone tartan
#

Yeah true

#

But his special is so good that you’re often gonna want to roll if you don’t already have one

hoary pasture
#

I love Doom Special

#

Stonks pom scaling too

undone tartan
#

Yeah it’s real good

flat flicker
#

It’s great if it’s purple and you purge it and buy something that doesn’t suck

undone tartan
#

Battle rage or curse of pain?

flat flicker
#

Yes

undone tartan
#

CoP on Rama is very good

#

Probably my #1 or 2 pick

#

If I have something like flood shot for AOE then it’s #1

mossy zinc
#

Curse of Pain with some poms on it, most things die before you get to use your Attack.

flat flicker
#

I really gotta give ares another chance

jaunty falcon
#

You can get 2000+ damage doom stacks with a jacked build

quartz mantle
#

Doom is just good damage

next acorn
#

damage is just good

hardy garden

doom good

pearl scaffold
#

anyone got a aphro build

undone tartan
#

Most builds are aphro builds

bronze rapids
#

Put her on the attack method that has the biggest number

Profit

mossy zinc
#

What aspect do you want to use?

pearl scaffold
#

i dont mind the aspect as long as its not a cast build i really just want to level up my keepsake

undone tartan
#

Since you’re leveling your keepsake I assume that means you don’t have Rama

raw cloud
#

chiron aphro good

undone tartan
#

Not really

#

Artemis is significantly better

mossy zinc
#

Well, what aspects do you have?

mossy zinc
undone tartan

Literally mathematically yes

mossy zinc

No.

undone tartan

Ok show your work

mossy zinc

k

undone tartan
# mossy zinc lol wut.

You’re saying that Aphrodite special is not worse than Artemis special for Chiron, right? That is something that can be objectively proven true or false

#

I was under the impression that Arty was better, but I’d be interested to see if I’m wrong

#

I totally could be

#

Alright I’m actually curious now so I’m gonna make a spreadsheet lol

#

Wait actually I underestimated how complicated it would be

mossy zinc
#

Bruh.

undone tartan
#

Oh

scenic wave
undone tartan
#

Right

scenic wave
#

also aphrodites special applies weak

#

which is good for Privileged Status

undone tartan
#

Eww

#

Why PStat

scenic wave
#

40% extra damage???

undone tartan
#

Not worth it most of the time

scenic wave
#

getting 2 curses on an enemy isn't that hard

#

literally just need a dash boon and an attack or special boon

undone tartan
#

Hard? No. Worth sacrificing a core slot to a mediocre effect for the extra 15%? Also no.

#

Some builds want PStat

#

Most do not

bronze rapids
scenic wave
#

pretty much every core boon applies a curse anyway, even if some of them do need a support boon

#

and its usually worth it anyway to get the support boon

undone tartan
mossy zinc
#

No, Privileged Status is rarely worth it tbh.

timber pike
bronze rapids
undone tartan
#

I only ever use PStat when my entire build that I’m planning will revolve around two status curses. Such as low tolerance or snow burst passion flare Beo

you don't need to build around Pstat to use it

so aphro is the bettter flourish then?

since u wouldnt normally be levelling it up that hiigh

And yes people are insanely detailed and did way more math than I care to do

math ewwwww

Vowels cringe

mossy zinc
scenic wave
flat flicker
next acorn
#

Most meta builds don’t use two curses

flat flicker
#

unbased

next acorn
#

So the 15% isn’t worth

mossy zinc
#

That said, I almost always take Privileged Status for courte5EternalRose start now. It gives me more versatility for my builds.

bronze rapids
mossy zinc
#

Like, picking up Chill or Hangover along the way is gonna be a lot stronger with Privileged Status than without. While the difference for a crit build isn't gonna be that big anyway. Other factors are a lot more important.

pseudo kernel
#

Hey vowels are cool

flat flicker
#

I’m not sure how to apply my criteria to a language I don’t know

bronze rapids
#

Priv Stats is like, you sacrifice some consistency for the payoff of getting the full buff out of Tart or Asphodel

mossy zinc
# next acorn How do you read this

Levels from left to right. Bonus damage from other sources from top to bottom. Different sheets have the min/max at different rarities.

next acorn
#

Reject vowels

flat flicker
#

rejected

bronze rapids
#

embrace non letters using languages

flat flicker
#

nynymwmw and dmnkng

mossy zinc
#

Y and w are semivowels.

undone tartan
#

W?

undone tartan
ripe ermine
next acorn
#

so it looks like arty is better with bonus damage sources and aphro is better alone

undone tartan
#

But I feel like you’re usually gonna be able to get at least one chaos special boon, no?

#

At least with AP0

bronze rapids
#

nnmm

next acorn
#

also stuff like PP and mark

mossy zinc
undone tartan
#

Makes sense

mossy zinc
#

And Deadly Flourish benefits from Heart Rend, naturally.

next acorn
#

and aphro scales better with rarity

undone tartan
#

So I stand by my original opinion that deadly is better (but have learned that heartbreak may be better for RI2 AP2 when you can’t rely on Chaos)

next acorn
#

so its just can you get extra stuff to support your special or not

mossy zinc
#

Better by what metric?

next acorn
#

so do you have AP or RI on bouldy

mossy zinc
#

It seems to me you're only looking at DPS.

undone tartan
#

And the possibility of Heart Rend

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, but then you also gotta factor in the potential for Smair etc.

hardy garden
#

smair my beloved residentzag

timber pike
#

and underscores

raw cloud
#

so if i’m doing 32 eris what keepsake do i want to start with

flat flicker
raw cloud
#

thats what i thought

flat flicker
#

and then prioritize splash dash

warm dagger
raw cloud
#

alr
and ill probably look for aphro for smair and good special

bronze rapids
#

take attack, take Stat Discharge. Ideal specials are Aphrodite -> Smouldering Air, and Artemis -> hunter's Mark and Lightning Rod

#

Dionysus attack start is also quite good since you can pom it a lot

raw cloud
#

thank you sm

#

splash or divine dash

bronze rapids
#

splash for damage, divine for safety

warm dagger
left prism
#

sea storm is not necessary

#

tidal dash strong enough

#

(+ you would need to take cast-special or call for that)

raw cloud
#

32 scary so ill prob pick divine dash if i see it (since it also lets me get athena dd)

flat flicker
warm dagger
#

You running DD or SD?

warm dagger
raw cloud
#

sd
well the game made me get splash dash so damage it is

flat flicker
#

does a LOT

#

dont discount it

#

its mega based

left prism
#

also allows to pair with breaking wave to bully styx

raw cloud
#

what keepsake should i take for asphodel (so far i have zeus attack, aphro special, splash dash, jolted, and hyper sprint)

mossy zinc
raw cloud
#

wait actually i have uc on this
might be a problem

#

im just gonna purge hermes bc i dont want to waste a roll

mossy zinc
#

Bruh.

pure lily
raw cloud
#

it was between him attack or jolted

warm dagger
raw cloud
#

also when dad comes around should i equip tooth for the extra dd because i have sd rn

warm dagger
#

Do you have Acorn?

raw cloud
#

yes

#

i usually do yse acorn

warm dagger
#

Take Acorn for Dad... I also take Acorn for Heros

mossy zinc
#

Acorn for regions 3 and 4, yes.

warm dagger
ripe ermine
#

This is not a spoiler channel we’re all the endgame tryhards here

warm dagger
#

That's what I thought

raw cloud
#

ugh damn it asterius

warm dagger
#

Did you take any FO for this 32?

raw cloud
#

yes

warm dagger
#

Yeah Asterius is REALLY quick with FO.

raw cloud
#

y e ah

#

and i was already low

#

my pact is HL2, LC4, EM3, BP2, MM, UC, FO1, DC2 (eris), TD3

warm dagger
#

I take FO2 before I take any HL.

raw cloud
#

ill do one more eris run and then see how hestia or beo fares

warm dagger
#

Eris by far the easier of those three choices.

left prism
#

beo is as easy as eris if you know what you are doing imo

warm dagger
#

Demeter with ME is good for 32 as well.

left prism

big shield kinda safe

Shameless plug.

raw cloud

im okay with beo

All three of those aspects are pretty braindead.

random mirror was a bad idea

#

I’ll take it I’m dumb then bouldy

bronze rapids
#

yeah the crit chance is factored into the second row and beyond
let's take a base damage of 100. Then L1 common Deadly Flourish would deal:
100 + (40% * 100) = 140 damage
If it crits, then it'll deal
(100 + 40% * 100) * 300% = 420 damage
since the base crit chance is 20%, the average damage is
20% * 420 + 80% * 140 = 196
hence a 96% increase

personally if the heat rando gives me more than LC2 I just use stubborn defiance no matter what

What's your highest heat without rando

pure lily
#

I'm not doing rando, I'm doing 40 with fists now

#

but to answer your quesiton, 45

bronze rapids
#

Yeah its just to gauge how high you can set a random heat to be manageable

#

If you're doing 45 then random 24 should be mostly fine

I'd def take DDs for LC2.

# timber pike so aphro is the bettter flourish then?

Hello yes I am late and here to add something to this discussion
Anyways for Chiron you typically go Aphro start to pick up her attack, then get Artemis for her special, this lets you get Heart Rend which is like really strong

#

Aphro special is ok I guess but like why

#

It has no real good scaling options and Artemis special has both Heart Rend and Chaos special boons to scale really well from

#

With how many arrows Chiron has the crit is rather consistent

#

Arty special gives you a 20% chance to crit on each arrow, you get 8 arrows, 12 with relentless which you definitely want

#

Aphrodite boons in general have really good base damage but don’t scale super well in the back half of the run leaving them to be more support boons

#

Which is why you start with Aphro attack to make Tartarus easier and then switch to your good scaling option of getting Artemis special

#

Aphrodite special could probably net you a dub but why settle for McDonald’s when Five Guys is right there

flat flicker
#

chad demeter special

quartz mantle
#

Even Demeter special has PS and Arctic Blast as scaling options

#

I guess Demeter special is like the Wendy’s of this example

undone tartan
#

Wouldn’t you just take Aphrodite into Asphodel instead?

quartz mantle
#

Because Chiron special in Tartarus sucks lmao

#

Fiery presence Aphro attack you oneshot most things with a power shot

undone tartan
#

Oh alright fair enough

quartz mantle
#

You don’t really care too much about Poms since Pom scaling on Artemis boons is lmao

#

And you don’t really need a special boon for anything besides furies maybe

#

And the occasional bruiser thug

undone tartan
#

Yeah that all actually makes perfect sense

#

Why not start splash dash

#

I'm really struggling to get out of tart with fists bouldy

#

Had epic ares attack and impending doom and divine dash in tart and still died to boss 🥲

gaunt fiber
#

Impending is bad without ME

#

You'd rather have dire misfortune

#

Idk if you're APing or not though

pure lily
#

don't you want both?

quartz mantle
#

Dire helps before getting ME impending helps after getting ME

#

Neither is particularly great in the wrong context

#

Dire does nothing with ME and impending can cause time loss without it

pure lily
#

Also, if you take a duo, are you less likely to get another offered. I made the mistake of paring up duos and now have like 3 in my pool I could get

#

Got it, so it's worth taking it in case you don't get ME

quartz mantle
#

If the only duo you can be offered is ME any time a duo is rolled it’s 100% going to be ME

#

But if you open up Lightning phalanx, any duo you roll from Athena has a 50/50 chance of being either Lightning Phalanx or ME

#

same thing goes for their legendaries as well

pure lily
#

yeah

#

what if you take one thoug

#

does that lower the chance of another being offered or no

#

Sorry another question can you recover health from Quick Recovery with LC4 on?

i had the same question a few days ago ^^ someone told me it works

I didn’t realize it was ME

I might even go CF0

for beo 32 you can do your standard any heat build (flood flare into artemis core and mirage) or more comfy is just passion flare + snow burst like pancake said
