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

the end run screen shows your boon/hammer list so yes it shows godmode bouldy

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?

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 don’t know the answer to that. Lol

Reloading for every shot is v slow going

Flurry jab is bonkers

Playing Achilles like discount zagspear is 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

#

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)

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)

obsidian harness
#

tired brain was trying to figure out why i haven’t seen valued customer hammer before LOL

stone blaze
#

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.

obsidian harness
#

you take as much damage as you do, the only health that matters is the last

stone blaze
#

I'd 100% sign up for a $300, 20% discount hammer tho if it existed 👀

#

indeed but it still feels bad to think "yep I nearly died in a situation where it had no right to happen" lol

obsidian harness
#

well now you know you can never be too careful in the future

stone blaze
#

I feel like I already knew that from past experiences/extremely close hades fights but ty lul

obsidian harness
#

i’ve lost runs like that for no good reason when i was doing em4 bc i just wasn’t focused enough or whatever

stone blaze

em4... bc?

that's not middle management, can't remember the thing

nor bp

what's bc

rain ruin

bc = because

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

stone blaze

that and EM4 unironically seems... really slow after having done/attempted FO1/FO2 EM4 hades

# lunar peak im always so slow with bow

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)?

random forum
#

Dc ignores any source of damage for the first hit

#

Real fun using Meg and hitting all 4 witches and it doesn’t do anything to them

#

With Hera and Beowulf the initial attack would pop DC1 before the cast damage happened though

stone blaze
#

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

random forum
#

Each cast loaded hits separately after the attack

#

The cast damage shows as one number tho because same sources combine damage numbers

stone blaze
#

mmm

neon crypt
#

Tried EM4 for the first time tonight.

What.

tired shoal
#

Bruh…

neon crypt
#

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

stone blaze
#

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

stone blaze
#

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

neon crypt
#

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

stone blaze
neon crypt
#

enough for at least 4 level ups methinks

stone blaze
#

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

neon crypt
#

yes

stone blaze
#

are 4 poms at random worth that?

neon crypt
#

also yes

#

at least one of them's gonna give some extra damage

stone blaze
neon crypt
#

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

stone blaze
#

mmm

neon crypt
#

plus i had the hermes boon that reduces damage received by 40% as long as you're dashing

#

i like dashing

neon crypt
#

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

Are you running the typical flood flare mirage setup?

paper oxide

yeah starting with flood flare

vale heart

Enemy grouping is a big part of making beo go fast

You want to obliterate enemies in as few volleys as possible

paper oxide

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

bold jolt
#

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

vale heart
#

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

paper oxide
#

sorry i mean hit them with the weapon part of the rush

instead of rushing to like the side

vale heart

Oh, it's usually helpful

You're using cshot aren't you

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 don’t think hitting the rush attack is too important after you actually get damage on cast

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

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

vale heart

That explains it lmao

vale heart
# snow pine regular shot is too slow

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

snow pine

I was basically Zeri

Without speed boosts from forced overtime or benefits package, rama can pretty freely charge up with good positioning

i have more authority rolls than persuasion

and rn i wanna save darkness to 3k for the nyx peophwcy

If fated authority could get you chaos rooms it’s actually be ok

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

At least I upgraded the special to send 5 tracking arrows instead of 4

#

*the bow itself

*chiron itself

Chiron is just discount zag bow

rotund sphinx

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.

#

?

heavy solar
#

Explosive + charged non-hidden spears are really similiar to charged guan-yu

#

Hades also has built in additive

versed crane
#

so does zag spear

#

smh

rotund sphinx
#

Yeah, I'd have used Zag Spear if i'd known I was going to end up with a special build

heavy solar
#

Hades spear is more ideal for a special focused build

rotund sphinx
#

I was too busy Shoot'n to do a spin

heavy solar
#

It gives way more additive damage and removes flurry jab from the equation making it easier to hit explosive and charged skewer

heavy solar
# rotund sphinx

It would’ve 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

rotund sphinx
#

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?

heavy solar
#

+100% additive is gaming whichever way you spin it

rotund sphinx
#

+100% is amazing, but since I only had +90% on spin, it still sucked

heavy solar
#

The spin would’ve given your special +100%

rotund sphinx
#

At level 3 it's +90% though?

heavy solar
#

Have I misremembered hades damage scaling?

#

Either way

rotund sphinx
#

30/60/90/120/150

+90% is still amazing
