getting used to bosses chopping you for 72 thanks to HL5 will take a while
Yeah, that shouldnât ruin your run.

Indeed.
is there a marker on screen if someones using godmode or is there not a way to tell/people can never be sure?
that's... also a stupid question, probably
It shows up in the boon/hammer menu
As an icon with a skull
but not the end-of-run screens?
It shows up on end run screens
Deus Ex Machina,
ah k
the end run screen shows your boon/hammer list so yes it shows godmode 
Idk if there is an actual name for that menu that would be better used
Inventory
Victory screen is the term for the âend-of-runâ screens
I guess
Example of god mode showing
True, easiest way to get an example of godmode is look at the one skull icon that remains a near constant on Expert Enjoyers victory screens
/j

Ngl I wouldnâtâve noticed if my discord didnât open up to @stone blazeâs message commenting about how people would just think you were using godmode again
is the ping for me not turning off my ping, or... is this just a comment for the sake of commenting or r u mad at me?
is acknowledgement
cool, it didn't quite read like it was but I wasn't entirely sure lol
I wouldnâtâve noticed without my discord opening to your message here
gonna attempt FO1-EM4 w/ a sword I never use (been using arthur for ages, using zag because its the one I already have leveled up besides arth), wish me luck xd
Zag sword when you get rush delivery 
wishing you all the luck for arthur em4
do kind of wish I knew I was gonna get stash tho if I was gonna even bother because I started the run by having the choice between 102% gems/darkness for not being able to pick up cast or for like 67% gold I think for... idr what it was, I think -4 hp per cast use for the next 4 encounters?
Lel.
you got 2 purples tho
True
LEZZZ GOOO!!!
also 84% Hunter's Mark â¤ď¸
i like how you were like "guess i'll shoot for sub10 all aspects" and got 3 sub9s in a row lmao

Can we just talk about how you did a 40 heat at some point?
6 40 heat runs lol
Oh my gosh hahaha
lots of people did 40 heats :p bananas has all 50s i think
ah mb
I see :O pro players
more like 5 months of doing nothing else but playing Hades
look like how many runs i have
i've been speedrunning 40 tho so i do have multiple 40 heat clears under my belt but they're all beowulf (and 1 rama) lol
Now I gotta do 40 heat
I've started taking Hades more seriously recently so so far the highest I've done might have been 6 hahaha
this sounds painfully unfun tbh XD
Wait lmao you have more clears then I do
bro you have no idea how many times i've seen mirage shot get crossed off
When did that happen
i haven't gotten it in like at least 15 menus in a row
weird how you're still way better XD
I was very thundery today
probably while i've been trying to speed run. 9 heat is pretty easy
âYouâre still way betterâ
I have 0 40 heat clears and 1 sub 10* run 
sub 10
Sub10
funny enough, while you get better at speed with heat, the opposite is also true lol you get better at heat with speed
ok more knowledgeable
Yea
Thatâs something I will take
aside from that itâs time to go for 40 heat clears and also sub 9
Letâs all appreciate that Lucky (Not) did a lv1 guan yu clear
get it
Which makes them infinitely better gamer than any of us lol
get heroic hunter's mark lv. 4, it's a guaranteed crit
Indeed.
well it was zagbow with arty attack so it was guaranteed at 70 wasn't it?
huh, yeah, i guess it would be under those circumstances
nice quick maths
hades when arthur crits for 1700:
Thicc
I forgot I had a special on the final fight
Damage reduction ainât additive
rama cool
yes i know
i had 30% more damage reduction than arthur in aura normally does
rama awesome
Not me failing to know how to make Hestia go fast (and barely clearing)
And getting no boons whatsoever jeez
I never really understood how hestia even worked. do you just shoot once and constantly spam reload to make the most of the ability or just treat it as a little bonus?
It would appear I donât know the answer to that. Lol
Reloading for every shot is v slow going
also, might as well leave my proudest run here. I never really liked using the spear but things lined up too well in the last area and this happened https://youtu.be/G1citVGxUu0
florida man beats up father with random spear found in backyard
BDE?
also I made really good use of the special for like the rest of the run
it's just that the anvil decided to do some bits of trolling at the end and really just said don't use special anymore
Reload every shot, every 2 shots use your special
Use your cast to finish off break points
so basically treat the weapon like a really weird flintlock pistol, got it
Button smash basically
Simply obtain the carpal tunnel boon
it's just gonna be like the run above except instead of spamming dash you spam reload instead
sounds fair to me
Itâs like a bolt action sniper rifle
How did this clear holy
Boonless 50 heat has been done so no doubt this can be done too
6 dashes and hyper sprint meant i was never getting hit
you can see time was a bit slow but agony + call was plenty of damage
idk if anyone's noticed this but hestia is kinda good
YO? MY 4TH AND 5TH ESCAPES WERE CONSECUTIVE
w
I mean I feel like consecutive hades wins w/o heat is decently easy-ish, but yeah grats
came way closer to dying than I feel like this run had any right to (I.E. I'm terrible at this game - probably also helps that at no point did I try to actually use that hefty 155% ambush percent despite having access to it by... I think early aspho? jesus christ)
itâs their first few clears
also I BEAT HIM UP AND STOLE HIS LUNCH MONEY! LFG!
I mean I'm also saying that based on my own experiences idk
okay
yeah its a great accomplishment in its own right too
I mean someone could also p easily prob look at me doing EM4-FO2 and say "actually that's really easy, you just suck" đ¤ˇ
@rain ruin
Nice
I mean I was just gonna ask was I probably not supposed to take as much damage as I did with that build? (came in with basically full health + definitely had the full 3 DDs)
tired brain was trying to figure out why i havenât seen valued customer hammer before LOL
had a previous FO2 EM4 that seemed roughly on par and despite that I took like only 40 damage or smthn for that entire hades fight but this one was just... really sloppy? idk.
yep that's tired brain
you take as much damage as you do, the only health that matters is the last
I'd 100% sign up for a $300, 20% discount hammer tho if it existed đ
indeed but it still feels bad to think "yep I nearly died in a situation where it had no right to happen" lol
well now you know you can never be too careful in the future
I feel like I already knew that from past experiences/extremely close hades fights but ty lul
iâve lost runs like that for no good reason when i was doing em4 bc i just wasnât focused enough or whatever
em4... bc?
that's not middle management, can't remember the thing
nor bp
what's bc
Should move to #h1-discussion, Zeus shield is a safe weapon, the build is alright, FO2 EM4 is tough, the build wont pilot itself and you can still get punished pretty hard in the fight so with practice you'll take less damage overall, regardless of the build
bc = because
ty
its also nice to hear someone reaffirm that even though I kind of already knew the "FO2 EM4 realkly screws people up" from my first attempt dying before even finishing phase 1
I've seen so many boon/mirror/heat 2 letter abbreviations that I didn't even think that it was just "because"
that and EM4 unironically seems... really slow after having done/attempted FO1/FO2 EM4 hades
good stuff
Yeah ap1 wasnât actually blocking a useful boon c1 this time so I gave it a few tries
Frozen touch legitimately carried my heroes fight, I made it out with 10hp
Covered in tire tracks
sounds p good
I mean you don't really need/want it save for bosses or extremely tanky enemies like butterfly balls/minibosses or armored chariots, but... no quick reload (idk what its called, the one that makes enemies drop it considerably faster)?
Damage control and calisthenics program slowed you down here for certain
does damage control (I'm assuming that's the instance of damage/light blue hearts one) ignore cast damage on hera/beowulf?
Dc ignores any source of damage for the first hit
Real fun using Meg and hitting all 4 witches and it doesnât do anything to them
With Hera and Beowulf the initial attack would pop DC1 before the cast damage happened though
sounds rough
well ok that was my question lol
does cast damage count as one instance or... (I haven't used hera... I think ever? I know I still haven't done a beo run yet)
idk if they're instant or slightly staggered
Each cast loaded hits separately after the attack
The cast damage shows as one number tho because same sources combine damage numbers
mmm
Tried EM4 for the first time tonight.
What.
I am genuinely not sure how or why i survived this
without even the need for the fourth DD which i got just in case
what's super awful about this? besides the lack of acorn
idk how "4th DD" is your insurance but you didn't take acorn into it
melee-range triple shot-rama is p good (close range hammer or triple shot - even better if both)
kind of irritating to get fixation anyways when my only source of weak was crush shot but w/e
also won though after I eschewed an (iirc) +59 max hp epic chaos boon for +135% eclipse :D
Pom flower is way too good to pass on for the tunnels
also, the awful part of the run is that this was my first first EM4
I've been relatively unspoiled for the most part but my friends told me EM4 was super difficult that it'd take me a while, so I was prepared to lose
is... is it? how many tunnels is that max, I guess its like 28?
enough for at least 4 level ups methinks
is that really worth forgoing the first 5 hits which will probs total like 200+ damage (unless you only start getting hit by butterflies/sneak)?
yeah
yes
are 4 poms at random worth that?

more damage done means less time fighting hades means less chances of getting hit
I did used to use the spearhead a lot
for the i-frames
but once I figured out how to get hit less i stopped needing it
mmm
plus i had the hermes boon that reduces damage received by 40% as long as you're dashing
i like dashing
Facts.
I'm tempted to go for a 20 heat run next time
because I'm trying to progress the story which is taking me way too long because i no longer die between runs
of course i could probably just go ahead and end the run at the first room to rush the story since Nyx is always busy whenever I finish a run but that's no fun
How far are you storywise?
post-credits, max nectar relationship for everyone but the olympian gods
Oh damn.
And u beat em4 first try?
Youâre cracked.
Have u maxed out your mirror?
almost
got everything but the persuasion
monkey brain keeps going for the useless ranking stuff whenever i get enough darkness to upgrade one
i beat em4 first try too and i don't try it on every run now
the damage you take in that is absolutely huge
Crazy
Indeed.
Lel, just reset.
i mean like
i have all of both sides upgraded already. just don't have the fated ones maxed out because whenever i get the sufficient darkness i just end up upgrading the badge instead knowing it won't benefit me in any way
Lel.
xd
32 heat with the fists! Poseidonâs Call carried
Nice!
Whereâs ur 40heat
đ
when's 50 buddy
50 heat? I couldnât even imagine what that looks like. Scary I bet!
scary and painful
64 heat when?
Lmao donât scare me. 64 heat isnât real it canât hurt me
it's the same except the duos you want are always crossed out and the lava instantly kills you
This is gaming
đ only shield leftover
Beowulf easy
then i donno what i'll do. maybe 32 heat on everything. or 32 heat on everything shackle runs
i haven't been able to make beo work all that well
Ah rip
i mean i've got it to like 10:30 but the way people talk it seems like i'm doing something wrong XD
Beo is stupid
Stupid good.
Yes
i know it's really powerful, but i've had trouble making it also fast.
Are you running the typical flood flare mirage setup?
yeah starting with flood flare
Enemy grouping is a big part of making beo go fast
You want to obliterate enemies in as few volleys as possible
almost certainly my weakest skill
are you meant to sort of not hit enemies with the shield? i've definitely hit them out of flood before
if you're gonna hit them with the shield it'd be the wind up to charge the shot
generally not much after, but even so it shouldn't be hitting them out of the flare
A lot of the time you don't want to use a whole volley, you want 1 or 2 on some enemies before using the others to hit a different group
sorry i mean hit them with the weapon part of the rush
instead of rushing to like the side
Oh, it's usually helpful
You're using cshot aren't you
Just point dragon shot at them and watch them blow up
that's better? maybe i'm doing it too far away from enemies. i feel like i'm running to pick up my crystals a ton with cshot
you can use the aoe from casts to your advantage, i donât think hitting the rush attack is too important after you actually get damage on cast
^
generally collect stones between waves
But we'd have to see your gameplay to really tell what you're doing wrong
Simply go to #h1-discussion
No
below the time?
Yep.
A good build would help
you could probably go faster if your build wasn't so wild
tempest strike hell yeah
Literally every green mirror talent except the useful ones
6 escapes, 3 with the Blade lmao I don't know why this keeps being the one I do best with
tfw Styx Daedalus trade gave me curse slash which probably secured the win
FaIr, but that's the point.
U rite tho.
Lel, nice. How much does the theme cost?
On how do u unlock it?
Good kill
With a good build like that, itâs pretty easy to clear even without divinity yes?
Demeter fist would have probably worked better with that though, especially with the chaos special boons
I thought the point was that YOU couldn't go any faster. You didn't say it was about doing it with bad builds on purpose.
True, but the build was there to see.
I âPreciate the advice tho.
I hate @heavy solar
this was actually like 57-60 difficulty up to mid elysium I'd say
but rest was easy
never lacked hp, just the timer sucked
ggs
Oh that looks fun
I would hate me too
Thatâs the point lol
flood flare+wave pounding+mirage shot deleted hades
Mirage bug gaming
Where did hades go
Last sub 10 is sub 9 beo! Time for a new project. Maybe 32 shackle everything or just 32 everything anyway
or just relaxed darkness farming until that's done
sea storm doing a respectable amount too
All sub 9 when
45 heat something đ
blah lol
i don't want to go over 40. 40 hurt too much i'm good
63 heat
go sub8s everything lmao
or 45 heat lol
and zag sword
whoops
also nice pride
damn
oh man did i forget to change it lol wow
wait no pride is right.
ah yeah legacy is a scam
really needs to be a gif
STOP
pride and legacy are both placebo anyway, theyâre bugged to not do anything
no
Believable
Unlocks Aspect of Beowulf
Gets a free win first try
It certainly lived up to the reputation I've heard about here
Also Artemis and Zeus decided to fight for my love so they helped it be even more free
Got Arte's Legendary for my first time plus her Duo with Zeus
Literally an unfair combo alone, and then this shield was already wrecking 
I beat Hades for the first time on my 50th attempt with aspect of Zagreus 4 sword and no god mode or casting.
Also couldn't have done it without Skelly's tooth.
How does an ME build work on Rama? Spread doom with special then dash through them?
basically yea
the stack happens fast
also attack does do significant damage
so u can use that instead sometimes
but only for armor enemies and boss fight
otherwise it's usually dash
raME
That build is a mess, and even then beowulf is still stupid free, it really is that good
Pls take poms
Good job
Good work
Omg no godmode
Ofc.
deaths defied
I just got lucky, SD reigns supreme.
20 heat no godmode from godmode is a lot of progress
i really need to run SD more but to do that i need to stop sucking at bosses
Lel, just git gud 4head.
40 heat with Hestia!! Daedalus carried Kappa
Just get a build strong enough to invalidate the bosses, at that point the encounter rooms become much harder
I'd rather pay lernie tax twice than have to deal with speeder drakons as rama
how does delta chamber interact with hestia again
can you never reload or are you still able to
You can
Yeah at least you can still reload. I guess I canât complain about rng much though with my attack and dash boons. They were the true carry
Running Approval Process two after all
Play modded and you'll at least be able to guarantee the most bare bones parts of your build
- art isn't that good on hestia without chaos boons to boost it up
You go from oneshotting 90% of enemies every time to oneshotting every enemy 15% of the time
This is why we use athena attack arte special and hit deadly reversal
/j
Oneshot enemies every time and have crit chance
Joking
Oh i did have an Chaos boon for hitting undamaged foes. Pretty sure it was epic too.
Super lucky rng on that run
For AP2. I guess itâs time to learn EM4! 
Oh my god I thought you had DC active and was losing it
Lmao not losing it yet.
Didnât even notice ap2 lmao
Lucky as hell getting two attack hammers in that case
i mean neither do anything for hestia
Only relevant attack hammers for hestia are ricochet and explosive and piercing
Delta chamber helps with safety and seeking fire helps
Why run meme beams on gy? It ainât a castpect?
Wait nevermind Iâm assuming it wasnât focusing meme beams you just hit it heroic and so it got pinned nevermind
Ye.
I mean, lv3 glare
Mom Pom.
Ok Eternal Spear 2
Gy and achilles are both op
And zagspear has 5:25 so it's probably op too
True!
was this a good build
not particularly lol
meme beams on hera is pretty pointless, considering you can do the exact same thing without using hera
the only added benefit is that it's a bow
on the other hand, if you did it on achilles or even pos sword it would've been perfectly fine because of the % bonus it gets
wait meme beam is demeter's cast not exagryph lucifer aspect?
bruh lucifer never worked for me whats a good build for it
this is a legacy moment
Indeed.
Congrats
I am in pain, vicariously
Hell mode run 12 or something
New Record!
Dopamine released
Nice mirage shot
was this a bad shotgun build?
i weakly followed some advice i think i read from a website a few days ago
yea probably
I mean with spreadfire zagrail itâs nicer to run a % based attack
Was it this website? https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/hades-build-guide#aspect-of-talos-fists
Cuz this one is valid
All the pos cores here other than tdash are kind of meh on zagrail tbh
not sure but thx for the suggestion
(aspect of Demeter)

this worked out so much better than i thought
have no idea y i didnt get sub 20 tho
Probably because of your pact
Bruh js1 cp1
Cursed pact and mirror fr
Jury summons slows you down, and so does damage control/calisthenics program. Tight deadline can too since you don't get survival room, but eh. Also, try pausing a lot whenever you make decisions, and take free rooms like chaos/midshop/miniboss/story rooms whenever you see them
These alone will shave your times down by a ton
no tdash achilles
but yeah hunting blades doesn't care
sick rare crop
just beat meg for the first time 2.4 hours in, loving hades so far
so glad my friend bullied me into playing it
This is why we should support bullying.
playing on hell mode rn because he told me to
usually i stick to easy on my first playthrough but its fun so far
What's Hell Mode?
Oh damn.
i really want to watch the speedrunning history videos and exploit videos on this game but I don't want to spoil anything for myself
sad days
there's not that many "exploits" in this game, and the ones that exist can easily be overlooked unless you actually pay attention to numbers
like, you can happen to use one of the builds that exploits a bug, but not know about it
Another messy build but now I've only got the Bow left to escape with 
Also my second 2 streak
Poggers
Look at that two DDs to spare
Ez clap wrecked dad on god bussin bussin frfr
I love the story in this game
Quickly approaching the 10 escapes thing for the story
poseidon call crits do damage
Castpect eris let's go
shield makes em4 easy
?
?
Literally my only defensive keepsake on this save đŠ
I cleared when I finally got Zeus keepsake instead of muscle memory picking up every boon from him
210 darkness clear vrej
13 but I didnât use smelly shield tbh
I almost cleared on 9 or 10 idr
But no Zeus keepsake lmao
damn almost sub 40 :/
Achilles without the Achilles
nice hammers
Achilles flurry jab is the closest Switch players can get to played modded change my mind
Modded switch
I mean
You can just
Mod a switch 
Why do I get the feeling that thereâs no support for hades mods on custom switch firmware 
donât you have to solder your switch to mod it
not according to this guide it took me 10 seconds to find
i meant modding a switch, not modding hades on switch
Jägerspurt
throws frisbee
rd moment
Only problem was damage before getting rd was abysmal
drunk strike moment
Because I also had like 0 poms before I found rd
based
Well
0 poms on drunk strike
No smair đ˘
Correct
oh god my cats haven't sent any messages here have they
there was a lot typed out
I'm sorry mods

beowulf the braindead
tooth with 3 dds
beo beats the cursed pact once again
Try MM instead of BP, and give FO1 a try. Itâs not as bad as it might sound
If you want to try new things that is
tmw you get every duo but mirage shot
beat Hades for the first time since turning God Mode off
Based
definitely just mashing buttons. arthur sucks. 948 darkness from dad though
lmfao based
That is one of the builds Iâve ever seen
Facts.
every weapon is aspect of tidal dash
the best part about darkness farming is that you want to start pos anyways lmao
was this good
Would be better if you flipped swapped attack and special, and cast and dash
damn you're right
No Yo-Yo Fist? Cring.
those in glass houses
Good work
Huh?
Can legacy be a scam if you donât even have it unlocked yet?
Notably absent is the duo I actually kind of wanted but with only 5 Chiron bolts itâs kind of not the end of the world
good good.
Went from the most dumb run to one of the most fun runs I have had 
I have never put out so many Artemis Calls against the final fight
Primary attack 
Super soaker
100% 
wtf is that
ok
Whatâs your dmg res at?
never had so many duos before
how do i do these type of great runs again, do i just have to be lucky?
because for this run i just started with the pom blossom i didnt even use a god keepsake
Huh, well expect some more cuz I've had at least 3 runs like this before.
first stygian blade win with Arthur
NOICE!!!!
MExcalibur
MExcalibur 
Really fun build, just got a little scared at the end cause I'm not used to SD (forgot to disable it after 32 heat fails) but I'm happy I got right under 15 minutes
Using fated persuasion and just generally knowing which cores will open which duos should help
SD GAMING!!!!
WOOOOH
I don't like SD x) I only use it for LC4
Sadge.
I thought u were based.
:(
you can be based and use dd
Well yeah, but it's a lot harder than just using Superior Defiance in the first place.
using dd at 40 heat 
All facts.
40 heat while taking em4
Alright peeps, name the most valid situation where DD is based.
anything less than like 25 heat
Cap.
lc4 takes off so much heat that it's worth taking somewhat early instead of dealing with crap pacts, and until then using dd is much better
normal rooms aren't murdering you in lowish heat
I did 32 with dds lmao
No this was a while ago
My very first 32
I was trash
This one
I only had one sub10 at that point đŠ
well didn't do lc4 so no reason to
Really should've, jury summons is hell
This was literally almost 2 months ago
Just get Clockets on your first eris run
just no-hit Hades with a stupidly powerful aspect of rama
Were you only using special?
With a good build the regular shot can instaphase dad fight
Clean dad fight tho still
yeah only special
regular shot is too slow
especially with the slower daedalus I got
That explains it lmao
Rama is so good specifically because it's insane at both widespread and targeted damage. You unfortunately made a mistake by taking explosive shot because that's its worst hammer, but trust me, if you get around the learning curve and use both parts of rama's kit, it's insane
I was basically Zeri
Without speed boosts from forced overtime or benefits package, rama can pretty freely charge up with good positioning
Zeri?
league character
đ¤˘
lmao
use SD so you can reset faster in unmodded
True
bruh no jolted
Fresh file, 5th attempt 
At some point, I really want to complete an escape on my first run
whats your highest heat
20
just a warning, first run is compared to 45/50 often
maybe i just get crap builds but my attempts at regular rama could never do this.
Art strike with twin + perfect/point blank + chaos boosts = mongo damage
yeah i'm just not sure about instaphasing
twin shot + the shared suffering damage does a ton
if you get perfect/point blank then it's also a crap ton
Perfect Clear? So you never got hit the entire run? Based
nah you get it if you end with full hp
Truly
they lost their dd and tooth going in lol
anvil for 3
it's called balance lol
it's 1 key
10 gems for a key
I have no keys
oh lmao rip
I need to refund points if I want to put points into persuasion
darkness for fated is very expensive
need ricochet piercing explosive hestia
suboptimal move right there resource director is too goated
Hestia dash topping the meters
yeah purple one scales really well. not quite tdash but close. not as good at crowd controlling though
the true nasty dash
flareup dash is truly the bane of chronic illness sufferers everywhere
wait so persuasion is better than authroity??
but i farm darkness so slow and only my authority is nearly maxed
bruh
i have more authority rolls than persuasion
and rn i wanna save darkness to 3k for the nyx peophwcy
How many times have people said âuse persuasionâ to you I swear Iâve seen it at least 5 times but my memory ainât great
Or 9 heat
Persuasion is better for farming darkness then authority because it enables you to clear faster and bosses give significantly more darkness then darkness rooms
Plus just grab oceans bounty from pos and/ or darkness % from chaos ez
If fated authority could get you chaos rooms itâs actually be ok
this is a #h1-victory-boasting moment
Exactly
ok but i dont wanna use persuasion until i max it
cuz whats the point when i already have maxed authority
if you reset your mirror, you can max persuasion
persuasion is actually cheaper than authority to max
so you'll get some darkness back
Just use a key to reset your mirror and get all the darkness so you can re-allot levels
Also switch over to deep pockets at the same time tbh
AHHHHHHHHH
absolutely based
No low tolerance or ares for con though
Fds gaming
FDS?
Flat damage soup
True
Pos cast on pos sword wasnât working but the gods lined up for dio aid smair so I took it
The best part of pos sword is that if you get a good normal sword build you can just ignore the cast lol
Yeah
dio aid went up 4 per pom is the thing that got confirmed though
After first pom
Two very lucky boon runs
literally the worst successful escape ever I hated it the entire time
even sold athena's call because JEEZ I never realized it's so garbage
but I then never got another
At least I upgraded the special to send 5 tracking arrows instead of 4
*the bow itself
*chiron itself
Bow is gaming
Chiron is just discount zag bow
Plus chiron doesnât really come into its own until 4th or 5th level
Oh snap
I forgot it'd do this but that was my last weapon needed for the Master Of Arms Prophecy
Just beat EM4 Hades for the first time ever. Was my second try; first try was a horrid build with junk DPS outside of my call.
?
Explosive + charged non-hidden spears are really similiar to charged guan-yu
Hades also has built in additive
Yeah, I'd have used Zag Spear if i'd known I was going to end up with a special build
Hades spear is more ideal for a special focused build
It gives way more additive damage and removes flurry jab from the equation making it easier to hit explosive and charged skewer
It wouldâve been a huge damage boost if you had even hit hades once with a spin tbh
Since hades spear spin is a damage boost to attack and special
I had around 260% additive or something, and my Hades is only level 3, so probably about a 35% increase per hit
Though it wouldn't boost the thunderbolts coming from the knockback and from the fog
Does the zag special speed affect charge time, or just the projectile speed?
Is still a sizable chunk
+100% additive is gaming whichever way you spin it
At level 3 it's +90% though?
30/60/90/120/150
+90% is still amazing
Ah I had it through my head that it was 50/75/100/125/150 for whatever reason
32 heat with the sword

Haha yeah I got to practice with the shield. Saving it for last

Iâm not brave enough for FO2 tbh. Iâll just reset until AP is nice to me lol
Is so sad because ap is more annoying than fo2 but gives worse heat
Man I must be the only person who doesnât mind AP. You right tho
Itâs just annoying plus fo2 is free, it literally quickens my runs
And Iâm not playing modded nor do I reset runs so ap is kind of annoying
if you're not trying to do anything too crazy, then ap isn't that bad. you can make a lot of bad combos work with enough skill
it drives you crazy when the duo you want gets blocked off 15 times in 3 separate runs
True. I rarely go for duos. Resetting for good core boons in Tartarus is annoying though
It drives you crazy when the duo literally everything you want gets blocked off 15 runs in a row
tmw you think you're gonna have a good run and then ap1 crosses off mirage shot 5 times between 2 boons

6 minutes in asphodel this looking like one of my runs
I'm not even pausing between rooms anymore the sub6 took everything out of me
based
@vale heart here is your sub 8 you asked for yesterday
heck yea buddy
huge ares atk
What a beautiful game
(also 10% mad I didn't get to use my well-put-together build but w/e lol) Love this story ending
Also don't mind my intentionally spoiler-safe screenshot lol
Congrats!
Is that flurry chainshot
all my runs are either great hammers, no pb or garbage hammers, new pb
it's tbh not terrible honestly, especially with doom... but not something i built towards. at all. lol
it was fun
Smh imagine not using codex tevh between rooms
đŠ
Who cares if you canât submit the run to speedrun.com, your pb will be looking mad low
I don't wanna scum it like that lmao
Valid
I went through several days of mind numbing grinding for this run I don't wanna taint it
Only way to make this trash weapon fun fr
Grind darkness and up your resource director rank rn 
Also I think I keep forgetting to turn off @ing on replys my b
absolutely based
speedrun specific but generally should still apply
ty
the rarest crop: when it actually contributes to the build
Good job!
wow that's cool
That was a really strong combo
True
Also the first time I get the Disciple of Hermes message 

First 16 heat run, Cursed slash + Plus flurry slash+ swift strike saved me
Flurry cursed slash đ
I missed second hermes 
L
I think my pact was slightly cursed with hl5 fo2
i was trying to do a build around striking sparks but i didn't get it until the champs fight =/ neat concept though. i don't like that only hestia attack/special qualify for it though
wait that duo looks busted
yeah, zag bow and nem would have a field day with that
or artemis attack eternal chamber luci /j
lmfao
Use it with merciful end deadly reversal fists
Youâd just have to sell your cores after getting the duos
And then get another duo
Eznp
based
epic hesty strike is a 36-40% boost lmfao
it says it attracts foes but idk what that means
They get sprung
it pulls them in
it's interesting with zeus shield
duo is good with bow and nem sword. it would be good on fists if you could guarantee it early, but unlike ME your attack just does zero damage until you get hte duo so i'm dubious
same problem with gun
probably insane for spread fire though
maybe
not sure if internal cooldown or not
all the hydra heads exploded in one volley though
gaming
Sea storm eris is super fun but then you realize it isn't meta because clockets exists đŠ
I could have gotten Clockets but chose to have the rng not offer it
well duo isn't THAT cracked since it only did 11%
best part is what it does to the battlefield XD
lmfao
unlimited destruction
Local gigachad voluntarily limits his overwhelming power
1: it's budget sea storm since zeus has like 15 damage sources to scale from + splashing will happen more than crits, so not surprising
2: send hestia mod pics
I'm curious to see their design for her
her picture or boons?
I donât get why everyone says ME is so good this run had no damage what did I do wrong
common doom
common doom
Oh that must be why
Art
I did phase one and most of phase 2 at full Hp cuz Athena legendary cracked
With acorn
Based, get rare crop then have eury ambrosia it
true
Athena legendary is bad lmao
Mainly I stuck with this run so I could have the clear pic as pro-legacy propaganda to counteract all of Shackleâs anti legacy propaganda
i mean it's good for survivability
Like don't some people take tooth for em4 just because acorn might get hit by tiny hits
why is it pro legacy
20 seconds might as well be 20 minutes
it's good for fresh file lol
k playing magic give me a minute
Because I didnât get merciful end the entire run đŚ
The entire server is anti legacy propaganda
Anything not named beowulf would rather have pride
tooth is also good for styx
oh i didnât even notice LOL
also anti pride since you got common doom anyway
should run olympian favor then
Good point tbh
Its because you have 1 roll
rolling for rarity kinda sucks bad
But I have the fated keys at least!
#h1-discussion for discussion please, thank you!
cool
Because highrolling for both is inefficient
If you want to do that, you'd have to specifically have zeus attack, art special, poseidon cast and dash (or call and dash, then sell call off after sea storm), sea storm, and clockets
when you could just hope for clockets and make do with zeus attack, jolted, and art special
wow elysium sucks
gaming
2:58 aspho exit
wow styx sucks
it do be like that
styx wasnt that bad actually, the splits were very average for a 7 flat
blame the common rd lol
fr
fists sub 7 đ
soon â˘ď¸
Styxshop ME based
MEment
cule
nuce.
crime pays
SMH lunch money thief
dang thats 4 fist runs in a row from this channel
#aotw
flame wheels are awful with fists
Flame wheels are free
Just dash across ocdtsbles
Obstacles smh phone
SMH đ¤Śââď¸ someone needs to do a fist run asap then
first mirage build
hunter's flare based
Who at ssg decided that hunter flare and true shot would have a super low crit chance
Smh
yeah it should be 100% crit chance
should nerf the damage by about 66% to balance it tho
accidentally made my clears for each wep symmetrical
based
đ§ đ§ đ§
i didnt get it until like elysium because i kept getting flares which are inferior to shots right?
for casting
i was so annoyed every cast offer was a flare
because flares dont get duos right?
you can only get flares on beowulf
and flares can get duos
just not certain duos like parting shot or hunting blades
also im pretty sure shot and flare do the same amount of damage, it just has a different aoe affect
the only shot you can get on beo is mirage shot lol
is it bad to just spam cast after getting a rly good one and not attack anymore
charged shot :bould:
oops ping enabled
Oh yeah forgot about that
No, thatâs just a good cast build.
You cannot get shots on beowulf 
Aside from ones that arenât core boons
hyper rush probably pushed lightning rod over the edge but look at all those chaos attack boons and heavy knuckle still wasn't top dps.
maybe if it was a heart rend build it would have been different
Because I donât use shield often
Heavy knuckle doesnât apply to your dash strikes though
