[vale heart]

Congrats, but you'd have had a lot less trouble if you had a different god pool. Did ares get forced into your setup?

[paper oxide]

Best rare crop ever. Also just randomly insane melee damage too

[violet bloom]

nice

beeg damage

flurry serrated tho

[silver hinge]

goofy

worked all right though

[paper oxide]

isn't flurry serrated good?

[violet bloom]

no

serrated makes the dashstrike longer

so you cant spam dstrikes with flurry

[paper oxide]

i'm just doing two dash strikes before i have to special again anyway though? i really don't understand. hitting 3 times per dash strike isn't powerful?

[violet bloom]

it is powerful

but flurry is better

[paper oxide]

yes but i don't understand how it detracts from flurry. you're still dash strike dash strike special ? what am i missing about flurry here

there's something fundamental about flurry that i just don't understand and it's come up a few times

[vivid sedge]

you can just like instantly do 2 dashes to get 4 hits out with flurry

serrated makes you kinda just do the same damage but it shortens your dash and you only get one dash in

so its worse

at least thats my understanding

[hollow jacinth]

The -dash distance sucks, and the dash strike animation is noticeably longer

You’ll do less DPS and be less safe

[vale heart]

New rail pb, didn't even need clockets

This was supposed to be my casual save too smh

[vivid sedge]

yikes where are the poms

sad

good job though

[vale heart]

Couldn't find many 😔

[left ridge]

No, I like to special once in a while to doom enemies

[tawdry root]

[vale heart]

32 heat bow whee

Haven't touched Chiron in a bit, probably gonna do a zagbow run next

[bold jolt]

[violet bloom]

Ap1 gaming

Td2 sub 20 gaming

[grim peak]

corngrats!

chiron making TD2 meta at 32 heat lmao

[bold jolt]

somehow got sub9 on sword lmao rod gaming

yes i took signet into styx because i wanted smair but didn't get it

fists and spear left

[vivid sedge]

td2
ap1

19:45

[vale heart]

This is my karma for blasting matty's pb on my 3rd hera run 😔

[vale heart]

I don't trust chiron to handle td3, and ap doesn't matter too much as long as I get the dio special

[bold jolt]

lmao it do be like that

[vale heart]

Scuffed as hell spear 32

I'm not pushing any heat whatsoever with fists, fists can go to asphodel

I didn't get hunting blades until ely midshop, run was a mess

[vivid sedge]

based

[tawdry root]

incredible. thank you artemis!

[vivid sedge]

achilles more like worse than zag spear

[rich fulcrum]

Common splash dash tho oof

[vivid sedge]

nah splash rarity doesnt matter

[rich fulcrum]

I mean it poms well enough

[vivid sedge]

yeah the difference between common and epic is 14, first pom is 21

its nice, like rarity on anything, but it just doesnt even make a noticeable difference

[rich fulcrum]

Noted

[vale heart]

Heroic lightning strike 💪

[heavy solar]

When the difference between common and heroic is the same as the difference between level 1 and level 2

🧠

Of course rarity is nice to have but it’s not a big deal on splashy dashy

[grim peak]

billowing strength:

[vale heart]

A lot of the scaling is from t2 anyway

Poms are nice but wall slam be bussin

[grim peak]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/676266365123952689/1020839912653729932/image0.jpg lol

billowing truly built different

[vale heart]

build seems nice but I can't play this aspect

[vivid sedge]

aspect hard :((

[bold jolt]

how does one go fast on spear

i got everything i wanted except poms

[vivid sedge]

youre asking me

[bold jolt]

considering you got a faster time than me yeah i guess so

oh epic rd yeah that explains a bit

[bold jolt]

no ME, no impending, just hyper delivery and explosive upper

and common divine flourish

still sub10 very cool

thank god i got 2 story rooms and 2 fountains

"ME isn't hard to get" says reddit well look here kiddo i literally only say athena one (1) time before styx and i had to force that one

[vale heart]

I want 3 fountains 3 story rooms 3 chaos gates

[bold jolt]

it do be like that

[vale heart]

It's really disheartening when I'm actually playing well and blast everyone before they can even move

[bold jolt]

oh yeah i had doom procs for like 300something lmao maybe about 350 idk how that happened

[vale heart]

But then end up on bad pace anyway because I got no skips

Hyper delivery + epic doom +poms lmao

[bold jolt]

i mean a 60% bonus shouldn't double it

oh hc and ff

yeah sounds about right

ngl i'm surprised how much hp i have despite going unga bunga on dad fight

acorn didn't pop until phase 2

[vivid sedge]

nice explupper

[bold jolt]

thanks

i worked hard for that one, getting it in c1

this is why explosive upper is the best demeter hammer: if you don't get ME you got a nuke in your pocket

[random forum]

Demeter fists sound fun ngl

Demeter boons sound fun too, maybe someday I’ll unlock them

[grim peak]

it is

beat stuff up then run next to a big enemy and rip through them with massive special

[paper oxide]

i had my revenge

[bold jolt]

yo vengeful mood gaming

and chaos DD amazing build

[paper oxide]

😄

[bold jolt]

wait you saw chaos 4 times damn lmao

[paper oxide]

5 but i skipped it for patroclus

[bold jolt]

fair enough

[paper oxide]

i bought a bunch of chaos items

at one point i had two i wasn't sure how they'd stack

turns out it just uses one up and then uses hte next one in the next room

[bold jolt]

yeah

[autumn bronze]

check out this magnificent merciful end build

[bold jolt]

homie living the ME dream

[autumn bronze]

look a little closer

[heavy solar]

Such ME

[bold jolt]

is that extra dashes too on gilga lmfao

absolutely based

[heavy solar]

That is the ME build of all time

[vale heart]

jesus

[primal crown]

I think you missed smth

[heavy solar]

Is that attack and special speed lmfao

[vale heart]

no rush delivery

trash build

[bold jolt]

you dont need ME for a good ME build, everyone knows that

[autumn bronze]

the hermes boons were rough ok

[heavy solar]

Where is your deadly reversal smh

[autumn bronze]

also yes that is level 1 gilga

[vivid sedge]

sold double pom for styxmes and it gave me qf

[violet bloom]

How much did parting shot do

[vivid sedge]

it gave me backstab damage

which is something ig

[violet bloom]

Only to your cast 🗿

[vivid sedge]

wait what

i thought that was like

for everything

[violet bloom]

no

[vivid sedge]

sgg whyy

[summer trail]

pstatus really come in clutch

my first em2 attempt

[vivid sedge]

once again aspect hard

pb by 0.13s lmao

[vale heart]

Sub10 zagbow whee

[violet bloom]

very close run thank god you had thick skin

[vale heart]

I lose dds in early stuff to witches

[grim peak]

bruh thick skin

truly built different

[vivid sedge]

is that chain pb thick skin fo1

bruh

[bold jolt]

Frankly if you're speedrunning you can burn DDs pretty early and still be fine

Just unga bunga

All boss fights should be relatively short and you'll be fine taking damage in it

[vivid sedge]

yeah i normally lose a dd by the end of lernie

its not preferred since you want to keep hc up but its kinda whatever

[bold jolt]

Oh yeah lernie is a valid place to lose a DD lmao

[vivid sedge]

if you need to take damage to zoom its fine

[grim peak]

lernie tax

[vivid sedge]

yep

[bold jolt]

Lernie tax

[vivid sedge]

lernie tax is tripled on achilles

[grim peak]

lernie says hand over your DDs

[violet bloom]

remember when latt got hit with the lernie tax 5 times

[vale heart]

I only go unga bunga and lose dds on hades or alecto

[vivid sedge]

bruh not that

oh god

that was

ouch

[neat kraken]

Special and demeter cast build

[vale heart]

Whoops

[vale heart]

All the damage ticks

Smair + bolt + zeus dash + double strike + support fire + 8 hangovers

[random forum]

Ahahah that sounds nuts

I hear a lot about smair but hadn’t seen it

I’m hoping to get splitting bolt this run

[paper oxide]

was only missing RD :p

[fleet urchin]

about 40% dodge chance

[vale heart]

New pb but I got basically 0 free rooms

No story rooms at all

Just 1 fountain

😔

[bold jolt]

Damn that's a fat doom hit

[paper oxide]

It was over 600

[random forum]

Mfw 5 dodges

[heavy solar]

This is the ME build of all time

[bold jolt]

Nice ME

[vivid sedge]

i bet that ME really helped

[vale heart]

Cracked Rama build

Except I have no idea how to go fast with this thing

[bold jolt]

holy chaos

[vale heart]

Anvilled into twin perfect point blank

[bold jolt]

pride finally did something

[vale heart]

Did the math

385% damage boost from all the boons

Then there's twin + perfect + point blank

Shots were h i t t i n

[bold jolt]

blessed rama run

[vivid sedge]

holy build wtaf

and dw, nobody knows how to go fast with it except like 2 people

[bold jolt]

why'd you use PS btw

[vale heart]

I forgot that was still on from hera lmao

[bold jolt]

oh lmao rip

[vivid sedge]

whyd you use ps on hera

[bold jolt]

snurst passion?

[vale heart]

isn't it basically free

yeah

[vivid sedge]

nah its worse

[vale heart]

chill weak

[vivid sedge]

yeah but it not good

for a few reasons that i can guess at and probably more that i dont know

[vale heart]

Full pool is +25% right

since there's hermes

for ff

[vivid sedge]

ye

I genuinely don't know how people even get sub 9 with this thing

[vivid sedge]

when you finally get the rush delivery but the rush was delivered in styx

[grim peak]

bruh why so much achilles grinding

[vivid sedge]

fun aspect

i said in speedcord "whenever i play achilles 5% of the time i feel like 185 and the other 95% of the time i feel like a blundering fool"

i play for that 5%

[grim peak]

but achilles sucks

[vivid sedge]

nah you dont understand when you group enemies right with it its just so fun

killing a group of enemies is most satisfying on achilles imo

[grim peak]

isn't that just bad beo

[vivid sedge]

nah

achilles 4:55 beo 4:58

[grim peak]

what about my beo 4:30

[vivid sedge]

achilles better

[vivid sedge]

hmmmmm

also achilles is insanely cracked at tart

anyways yeah aiming for 667 lol

[brittle lichen]

after trying for almost a half year i finally got to a sub 20 run!!! my hands are still shaking aslkfjasd

[vale heart]

Congrats, but do you pause while making decisions/take free rooms

[brittle lichen]

Hi! In-game like the pause button you mean..?

[vale heart]

Yep

[brittle lichen]

no, I don't

[vale heart]

That's part of it

[brittle lichen]

I take some time to decide on the boon because I'm too indecisive

[vale heart]

pausing also pauses the in game timer, so it helps shave off a lot of time

[brittle lichen]

Ouuu I see, I really didn't notice that

Thank you!!

[bold jolt]

ik you're probably also grinding heat at the same time, but the typical speedrun pact is extreme measures 2 and forced overtime 2, if you want to focus on speed

[vale heart]

And minibosses, story rooms, midshop, fountain, and chaos are helpful for saving time too

Speaking of speedrunning

I finally put the modpack on and my runs have been going a lot faster lmao

How come your total clears is higher than the clears listed by wep?

i downloaded a max save file for modded gameplay, which by default had 50 wins on it

also that

Just absolutely chunking dad

[grim peak]

hazard gamer

[bold jolt]

Should be expecting a sub7 with that mod soon right

[random forum]

The auto aim on it is kinda wack but other than that it was a very fun run

Took it for the prophecy honestly

[vale heart]

Tart won't let me

I can't get a sub2 to save my life

[random forum]

Codex tech

[grim peak]

sub2 is hard

[bold jolt]

Ngl a sub4 asphodel is probably more achievable considering it's shorter

Shoot for that instead

[grim peak]

a non sub2 doesn't lock you out of sub7 so I'd say keep going

[vale heart]

Yeah but they always end up at like 2:30

[bold jolt]

then try for like sub2:20, more achievable

[grim peak]

that's why you don't speedrun at all

speedrunning is just praying for good rng so you can roll over everything change my mind

[bold jolt]

true

on the other hand, high heat is praying for patty

[grim peak]

I'm offended and I fully agree

[vale heart]

Unironically

I hate numbskulls

I hate witches

I hate bothers

[grim peak]

yeah that's why I've never been super into speedrunning

every bit of stupid rng the game throws at you directly increases your time

whereas with high heat you can recover from stupid rng most of the time while still winning

[random forum]

Cute build

[vale heart]

Cold embrace bad

Crystal clarity just better

[random forum]

It worked :0

Needed it for prophecy anyway

Was pretty clunky outside of boss fights but I had attack hammers so I didn’t need to cast other than for bosses anyway

[bold jolt]

wait that's some fat cast damage right there

no glacial glare tho rip

[random forum]

Yeah it showed up the same time as the duo

And never again

Still need it for prop

[bold jolt]

rip

[vivid sedge]

nah dw sub7 reset points are pretty comfy

like 210 330 540 is fine on beo

[hollow jacinth]

Even 3:45 is still comfortable

[random forum]

Another run carried by dem cast

But so much weaker this time 😭

[bold jolt]

crystal clarity gaming

[bold jolt]

less cast damage number but imo glacial glare and crystal clarity makes it stronger

[random forum]

Yeah definitely easier to use than the aphro duo

Tidal dash and hoarding strike(?) had to help carry this run since I had normal rarity beam.

[bold jolt]

I'd say tidal dash carry lol hoarding slash kinda eh

Your cast still did most of the work tho

[random forum]

Hoarding was putting in work until I hit styxshop and spent 700 on poms that went everywhere except cast

[bold jolt]

It do be like that lmao

[forest phoenix]

Thanks to those in the disc who tried to help me with my first 32 heat clear when I was doing the charity stream. I’m pleased to report I’ve done with each weapon now

Don’t think I did Chiron right because this was a rough clear

For a sub 7???

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah

My first unmodded sub 7 was 3:46

[vale heart]

Did your entire build manifest in c15-c18 lmao

[hollow jacinth]

Nah it was just a pretty bad aspho

1:58 tart iirc

[vale heart]

Oh I thought you meant 3:45 tart 💀

[rich fulcrum]

I like fruit tarts

[hollow jacinth]

Lmao

3:45 tart still sub 7able

[zinc lintel]

🤨

[hollow jacinth]

Just get sub 1 aspho, sub 1 ely, sub 1 styxdad

[paper oxide]

i was really not strong enough for this fight lol

really terrible styx rooms and no boons in the shop either

the only boon i got in styx was an elite aphro tunnel and i couldn't find smair just got life affirmation 😐

[bold jolt]

It do be like that

Sea storm carry tho?

[paper oxide]

sorta. i had to take zeus's aid over double strike so i could try to find smair

i think double strike would have put me over the edge and i probably should have just taken that

sea storm only did 12% of the damage to dad. it was mostly just splash dash

[bold jolt]

Oh lmao yeah tdash moment

[vale heart]

Where's the download for this mod

Damage bar goated

Explosive upper gaming

[random forum]

Dashing through things and ending up out of range of explosive upper half the time gaming

[paper oxide]

things are dead already just use charged special as an opener on things

[bold jolt]

no clockets

also apparently a second hermes isn't guaranteed in styx if you only have 1 hermes boon

[random forum]

Used 5 DDs during the run, 0 on Dad

[bold jolt]

ez

[random forum]

10 mins slower than my first Achilles clear, shameful

But this build before HB was… not very good

[bold jolt]

yeah getting HB late is a pain on achilles

your cast is useless until you get it lmao

[random forum]

Theseus is the only fight where it did anything

Everything else just moved one millimeter to the side and then caved my skull in

when is the sub6 tho

[vale heart]

Jesus Christ never

I don't have the heart to grind that out even if I do get much better at the game

[vivid sedge]

tbh its not a crazy grind with modded

and its fun since you leave tart

[vale heart]

I literally spent hours today on sub7 lmao

[vivid sedge]

i mean it took me a long time for my first sub7 as well lmao

[vale heart]

Yeah, just over 4 hours

I hate it here

I

I just reset

Wait

[violet bloom]

Nice low 7

[vale heart]

Does the run still show

Like will it still be in my record even if I reset after killing hades

[violet bloom]

Go check

[vivid sedge]

yeah go check

in logs

it should be fine

[vale heart]

Ok it did

Well

I guess now's a good a time as any to reset my streak

[vivid sedge]

bruh no wonder it took you so long

you werent resetting?

[vale heart]

idk why not ngl

I was blind the whole time but like

The start wasn't even worth keeping, it was an epic cast but that's it

The rest of the time I just stumbled through it murdering things until I got good rooms

[grim peak]

bruh wtf

[vale heart]

What

[grim peak]

sub7 on a technicality

amazing

but yeah regardless a sub7 is a sub7 so corngrats 🌽🎉

[vivid sedge]

?

[bold jolt]

tmw codex tech saves 0.02 seconds

[vivid sedge]

also wait wtf is that build

5 casts and insane additive

[bold jolt]

it's called an easy sub7

[vale heart]

What even is codex tech

Is that the rng manip in the sub3

[vivid sedge]

no

when you hit the codex button the timer instantly pauses but you keep a small amount of momentum

which quickly goes away

so you can save time by spamming codex as youre walking across the room

Good job on sub7!!!

Snow burst triggers when you load your cast with Hera or Beo

[vale heart]

Super comfy sub10 with rama even though I couldn't pom jolted, forget I had triple shot hammer on, and only even got a hammer in elysium

[bold jolt]

big dash strike

You had triple shot it should’ve been arte attack passion dash 📉

[vale heart]

Pb sword whee

[bold jolt]

interesting sword build lmao

nice splitting headache

[vale heart]

Ngl it was hard to control the dashes with mnk

Even doing a clean diagonal 2 dash strike is kinda difficult lmao

[bold jolt]

yeah sword is a bit rough but it's not too bad

also trippy beo moment, i wanted to do 40 again because last time i had really good starting luck which helped carry the run, but now i got a really good end run lmfao

lowkey could've done em4 even tho i dont know the fight that well

[vale heart]

Worst part of em4 is 100% phase 1

[bold jolt]

Yeah but it's beo

[vale heart]

True lmao

HS makes pots scary tbf but if you're running rama then you cry the longer phase 1 takes

[bold jolt]

I had sure footing lol

Sure footing additive right

So instead of 400% more it's 310% more so def not as bad but still bad lol

[vale heart]

Literally everything additive but crits and movement speed 😔

[bold jolt]

Lmao yeah

[hollow jacinth]

anvil manip gaming

[random forum]

Noticed I couldn’t quit after I bought poms after the anvil

Balanced

[vale heart]

Anything that gives you a menu choice removes the ability to quit, yep

[random forum]

Makes sense

Could force any boon that way especially with persuasion

[fervent night]

For some reason I can quit after asphodel friend sometimes. Or at least could

[random forum]

Would kinda make sense because it’s not the same kind of menu as a boon or pom

[outer mason]

that went easier than expected

[heavy solar]

That’s not a clutch anvil becsuse it gave you hoarding tbh

I mean taking away world splitter is nice and giving piercing wave is nice but hoarding slash didn’t really matter

[vale heart]

Clutch anvil would be dedge dnova

[bold jolt]

Any sword anvil is clutch if it removes world splitter and doesn't give you hammers that actively harm you lmao

[silver hinge]

world splitter is ok

homie sub 7 is a massive achievement

mine was barely one and I would need several hours to replicate I think

[random forum]

“F the shield in particular” - Lysol R., probably

[grim peak]

bruh 0 shield runs

[vale heart]

I've been grinding for hours today, it's soul crushing :')

Like the butterfly ball

Yesterday I did a bunch too but didn't make any progress, two days ago was my 6:60

Literally, the end screen said 5:59.98 but the courtyard said 6:60 😭

[grim peak]

bruh

schrodinger's sub 7

[random forum]

Mans out here glitching out the clock

[violet bloom]

Never forget crovens legendary 5:60

[vivid sedge]

you havent quick reset a single time

[violet bloom]

Wait did it actually say 6:60

I thought it would round up to 7:00

[vivid sedge]

lmao courtyard

[vale heart]

Yep

6:60 💀

After checking all the weapons, I can confirm it rounds to the second

Idk why they bothered having the hundredths there then

[violet bloom]

🗿🗿

[vivid sedge]

yeah idk its weird lol

sgg what is wrong with your timers

[violet bloom]

Can't believe we got a 5:60 6:60 and 7:60

[vivid sedge]

wait do we lmao

[violet bloom]

Yeah

[vivid sedge]

who has 6:60

[violet bloom]

Literally scroll up

[vale heart]

🗿

[vivid sedge]

thats in courtyard

doesnt count

[violet bloom]

Close enough

[vale heart]

Wait

[vivid sedge]

[vale heart]

Croven has a 5:60 on the actual endscreen?

[violet bloom]

Yes

[vale heart]

Amazing

[vale heart]

Epic rd

God I wish that were me

Definitely seems like an edge hera and eris have over beo for speedrunning

Don't need a duo so much so they get better chaos/hermes rarity

[vast atlas]

Those are crazy clear numbers.

This is the fastest I've ever cleared.

Most of my stuff I'm in the low 20s lately.

[vale heart]

Mine are nothing, there's some maniacs with sub 5 minute times, and there's even a routed/planned run that got below 3 minutes

[vale heart]

You'll get better at it over time; you have really low clears/attempts, so you're super new. Pausing while making decisions is probably the biggest thing you can do to lower your times right now though

[bold jolt]

Right pact and boons and enough practice will get you there

[vale heart]

don't forget soul crushing grinding because even once you have some practice you still need rng after a certain point

[silver hinge]

your honor, I plead "oops"

[random forum]

Ferocious seems kinda based potentially

[silver hinge]

ferocious is pretty bad, but prophecy

[bold jolt]

I like ferocious because it's easy to block and get free damage lmao

[silver hinge]

the problem with ferocious isn't there being a problem with ferocious... it's just that it isn't one of the several better hammers

[obsidian harness]

the damage isn’t much though it is global

[vale heart]

At least ferocious isn't one of sword's 15 actively harmful hammers

Doesn't shield only have 1

[vivid sedge]

whats that?

[bold jolt]

Fair enough

[vale heart]

The special hitting more enemies, so zag and chaos don't get to attack or block for longer if you special

It isn't really harmful to beo since you don't use special anyway

[versed crane]

yeah it is

ferocious is like the 2nd or 3rd best hammer

cshot #1 obviously

[silver hinge]

what a goofy weapon

[vivid sedge]

you do in tart actually lol

but idk its not really a downgrade if its not a likely misinput unlike something like world splitter

[vale heart]

That's just if there's like one or two witches super far, I don't think it really has any effect on you

Just cshot em ez

[versed crane]

dashing flight 🧠

[vivid sedge]

thats timeloss though (also cant get cshot and dread flight in tart lol)

[vale heart]

I'm saying just get cshot instead of dflight

ez

[versed crane]

Yeah you can just use cheat engine to spawn a 2nd hammer

[random forum]

Failed smair chase gaming

Feat. Anvil Cshot I didn’t even realize I got bc I was hurrying

Had 3 heroics until I sold Zeus flourish

[vale heart]

That is beyond unfortunate

Should've kept zeus special

Filling cores = higher chance of smair

[random forum]

I think I anviled it away but the hammer for two attacks but no knock back felt like it was performing well this run

[vale heart]

Bruh

No second wave smh

[vivid sedge]

did you get pos attack early enough for billiards

[vale heart]

Nope, got it in ely shop lmao

After the tunnels

[vivid sedge]

ely shop?

do you mean styx shop lol

[vale heart]

Oh yeah

My brain is fried rn

[drowsy whale]

Apparently this is my 100th clear ^^
(I would not have noticed if it didn't say "happy Centenial" at the top xD)

[vale heart]

Congrats!

[grim peak]

[obsidian harness]

omg randy bloons !

shoutout chaos aspect gotta be one of my fav genders

[grim peak]

wtf

how do you know me

[heavy solar]

@bold jolt this is a completely normal talos “heavy knuckle” run

There is nothing wrong with this victory screen… definitely

Wait lmfao this is my fists pb as well

[versed crane]

Bruh heroic chaos

[heavy solar]

I got so confused for a second I thought you meant a boon

[heavy solar]

Lmfao what are those clear # to heat ratio my guy
Rad!

[vivid sedge]

lmaoo

[vivid sedge]

also ggs, good pact

[bold jolt]

Legacy is a scam

[vale heart]

Incredibly funny chiron build

Honestly i don't get the point of running dio special

Even with hella poms it does less than the actual volley

[bold jolt]

Run shackle lmao

[vale heart]

Nah just highroll into pommed heroic art special

[bold jolt]

True

Shame not a heart rend build tho

[vale heart]

Would've been nasty fr

[heavy solar]

It wasn’t heavy knuckle, it was hammerless… my fists pb is hammerless talos now

[bold jolt]

oh bruh lmao

well you did have smair, sea storm, and rod

[heavy solar]

And big-ish jolted

[bold jolt]

yeah

[heavy solar]

No poms on it though

[bold jolt]

wait bruh you also got mirage lmfao

this is why we don't run legacy

[heavy solar]

Exactly… gonna keep this image handy as an example of legacy is a scam

[left ridge]

Not a great run, but finally got the last duo I needed for the Divine pairings prophecy

[drowsy whale]

I dealt like 1/5 of Hades' HP with one charged special with this build. xD

(Also Fists PB, but I'm still bounty hunting, so not yet going for speedruns actually)

[zinc lintel]

nice Privilege Status btw

[drowsy whale]

Lol yeah. xD

I'm always going Coinpurse first for more diversity, and most builds work well with priv.stat. Just not this one. xD

[fleet yarrow]

This went better than I expected it to lol. Pretty fun build

[vale heart]

Congrats! Half the duos aren't really useful and/or take a lot to set up without doing much, so I feel your pain

[vale heart]

TD3 and FO1 are kind of free at low heat, so I'd suggest taking those over something like jury summons

[grim peak]

wtf this is JSfree slander

but yeah unironically TD3 is good so best to get used to it if you wanna push heat

[vale heart]

It only becomes an issue at higher heat for certain weapons, funnily enough because of stuff like js

Like chiron with td3 js cp is probably miserable

[versed crane]

Thunder flourish high voltage

[vale heart]

Funny Hestia build, kinda cracked tbh

[random forum]

Rly don’t like zag rail but hey I finally got smair after chasing it for like 5 runs

Epic after party kinda cute

[vale heart]

You don't have legacy on

Legacy is a sscam but still

[random forum]

Yeah giving it a whirl

Got three duos anyway

[versed crane]

Kinda sad to get smair dio call but w/e

[random forum]

V tru but it was the only call that would show up lmao

[heavy solar]

This is why legacy is a scam

[vast atlas]

Stupid question maybe, but is there a way to change which abilities/boons show on the after-run screen?

[vale heart]

Holy ME

[vale heart]

Yes, you can click them to pin/unpin

[vast atlas]

Dang I didn't know that.

I've had some runs and thought "Man, I'd love to screenshot the abilities that really made that run stand out."

[vale heart]

Yep

Most of us are doing that

You can have a specific order for them, too

[vast atlas]

TIL

Will definitely be giving that a shot next time I have a cool setup by the end.

[bold jolt]

rip almost sub8

heroic doom tho

no impending tho that's a big rip

wait

[vale heart]

Thank darkness :)

[bold jolt]

i'm blind

[vale heart]

It's

[bold jolt]

that's a big impending

[vale heart]

It's heroic what

[bold jolt]

buddy i cant read lmfao

get darknessed

[heavy solar]

Nice ME build

[heavy solar]

Would’ve been sub 4 if you were using zag sword

[silver hinge]

went well, all things considered

[heavy solar]

Picking up a special when you have shackle smh

[silver hinge]

wasn't my idea

alternatives were attack and cast

no way I'm giving up boiling blood
or
you know
my main source of damage

[bold jolt]

based build

rd, shackle, dedge, and chaos bonus

[heavy solar]

And hunter dash

[bold jolt]

oh heck yeah buddy

having stone for dad along with 2 sack would've reduced your time a lot tbh

along with taking em2 and taking off td3

make sure to use all your megs, generally on tart miniboss, aspho miniboss, ely miniboss, ely boss, and dad. if you buy an extra one you can use it in styx

Would've saved like 10 sec there or so

Use high confidence and fiery presence

Use sigil going into Styx, you're good enough on beo that you don't need to play defensive

Sigil gives you a short 100% damage boost

It do be like that

Small for beo I believe

You're already dealing so much damage and it boosts it so much that you're gonna instaphase with it

And a full call would waste the duration on the invulnerability phases

actually a good weapon

unleveled zag sword has the Lysol seal of approval from time immemorial

[random forum]

It was my first ever clear so I won’t argue that it’s usable

[random forum]

Extremely cursed run, carried by Zeus call

[bold jolt]

rip no smair

[random forum]

Only won because of a charm that let me regen enough to survive a spin that charged two calls

[tawdry root]

lol you had boiling blood on you

this dude got hit lmao

[bold jolt]

tmw you're not good at bow

[tawdry root]

tmw your build conflicts with itself

bro relied on passion dash lol

it's the size of a pea and you had the perfect hammers for mid range gaming

the more i look at this the more i hate you actually

this could have been my pb

[rich fulcrum]

'Not good at bow' - has 1/3 time of by pb

It sucks to suck let me tell you

[vivid sedge]

?

[tawdry root]

.

[heavy solar]

I mean twin shot is 2/3 the shotgun that triple shot is so it’s mostly fine

[tawdry root]

no it isn't it's 10% of it

you can't get anything but powershots boosted on it so mid shots are just normal

[vivid sedge]

yeah and thats fine lol

zag bow charges super quick

this isnt rama

[tawdry root]

well that's true i guess

i was thinking too rama

[bold jolt]

Iirc speedcord said heart rend was good for zag bow lmao

[vale heart]

Yeah cuz like

Why wouldn't it be

It's zagbow

[bold jolt]

Like yeah passion dash kinda sucks with no range but it's still not hard to apply

And if you don't apply it whatever you're still shooting your shots

[heavy solar]

Passion dash good on zag bow if shotguning with triple shot I think

[vale heart]

Why not just

Heartbreak strike

It has native crit chance anyway and a better multiplier = better crit

[tawdry root]

well it is it's phenomenal but i guess i'm just not happy with your hammers. great build tho

[bold jolt]

Twin point blank?

[violet bloom]

horrible hammers

triple sniper better

[bold jolt]

Oh perfect nvm

[vale heart]

Just highroll into heroic mark and pp

[bold jolt]

Perfect isn't bad it's still the same damage boost as point blank

[vale heart]

What's your zagbow pb asking for a friend

[heavy solar]

Artr strike = more crits and just get your additive elsewhere

[tawdry root]

who cares + how is it relevant

[bold jolt]

Oh yeah I had 88% additive from resetting runs to get a good chaos from c1 lmao

[vale heart]

Because of this 👀

[vale heart]

Based

[tawdry root]

was thinking rama/hera

[vale heart]

Ah

[tawdry root]

mostly rama

[violet bloom]

mine is 5:13

[tawdry root]

hammers were great + heart rend

[vale heart]

Jesus christ

[tawdry root]

is that satire or is that your run

[violet bloom]

its definitely my run

(there is no zagbow 5:13)

[vale heart]

Whats the wr

[heavy solar]

Wait how is wr modded seeded zag bow worse than wr modded and wr seeded and wr unseeded unmodded

Lmfao

[violet bloom]

probably because the person forgot to record previous death and submitted unseeded run as seeded

Second time fighting redacted with extreme measures but managed to beat him. Got lucky with some boons and managed to widdle him down. Think it was dealing something like 1000 damage over the 4 seconds with hangover before any extra modifiers

[random forum]

Hungover dad gaming

[fallow beacon]

Can be a blast until he disappears and wipes it all

Chiron didn't sound great, but when it comes to a hangover build I find nothing works quite as well. Grab weak for the shot and hangover on the bow. With it fully upgraded you can get the full 8 stacks with 1 shot and 1 special.

And thanks. Know I don't stand much chance with tight deadline but make it through

[random forum]

#h1-discussion probably good idea since mod just said something about this

[fallow beacon]

Sorry

[heavy solar]

Was 968 over the duration w/out modifiers

1355 over duration with pstatus accounted for

[fallow beacon]

really? I have 1006 damage. 8 * 11 * 1/0.35 *4

[heavy solar]

88 * 11 * 11

=968

Hangover hits 11 times with curse of nausea

It doesn’t hit an additional fraction of the damage

[fallow beacon]

Ah, that's a shame

[bold jolt]

actually chiron is one of the safer aspects to run em4 on lol

tmw you get a slower time than last time

maybe i shouldn't do this aotw

[fallow beacon]

Still did significantly better than my best time

[bold jolt]

lol i'm trying to speedrun and send a good time into the speedrunning discord but i can't get below sub10 again, my first time was just extremely lucky

oh bruh my 32 heat run on zag bow was like 3 minutes slower than this
