[heavy solar]

I had a massive skill issue before I started playing again this year

Now I only have a smaller skill issue

[paper oxide]

Ah that makes sense

[heavy solar]

I’ve found that with a lot of games I haven’t played in at least a year, if I come back to them I pick them up and am way better then I was before

[left ridge]

Upping the heat

I tried 32 heat runs a few days ago and lost against the heroes so I figured I should try slightly lower heat pact
one that doesn't have LC4

[heavy solar]

enters styx at 8:04
“This looks sub10-able”
Tiny rat
3 sack

[vale heart]

Behold, the most scuffed sub8 of all time

• Didn't get hammer until the end of aspho
• Got 2 chaos extension rooms, second finally gave shot
• Only got mirage in elysium from midboss
• Double useless hermes
• Pretty solid well items though, think I had 2 braids throughout the run
• Blade dash into curse of drowning offering 😩

[heavy solar]

Most scuffed part is getting fully loaded on a castpect

[paper oxide]

So early Sweet Nectar is a thing. Lightning Strike X is the Call, Zeus Ammo Weapon is rod. Rod once again proving its value. ALMOST doing as much damage as lvl 9 zeus smair

[vale heart]

pp + support fire op

[heavy solar]

Only cuz you had hunters mark

[vale heart]

jesus, did you leave the rods out the entire fight

[paper oxide]

Basically

[vale heart]

common unpommed jolted sad

[paper oxide]

yeah that's ZeusAttackBolt

[heavy solar]

Splash shot achilles

[vale heart]

poseidon cast achilles is cursed

didn't even get sea storm

[paper oxide]

who cares about the cast when i have flurry jab and rod XD

[heavy solar]

The only weapon I would use splash shot on is talos

[spark flicker]

I hate my pc
Almost lost this run literally just because of constant horrid lag

[obsidian harness]

tree when people play the game and have fun

[spark flicker]

I mean
If it wasn't for my pc lagging this was a free run so idc lol
Sorry I don't know or care for the best pro strats at 1 Heat on my 11th escape

[fervent night]

Tree when people aren't running meta

[heavy solar]

Tree walks the meta

[grave tree]

What the actual heck? I just unlocked the ability to activate aspects last week!

[heavy solar]

how is that relevant

or did you respond to the wrong message?

but then again I don't really see any messages nearby that one that it would make sense as a reply to anyways

the word aspects makes me think right server wrong message

[paper oxide]

I'm sorry what do you mean?

Sweet name btw I gotta catch up on season 2

[grave tree]

Thanks!

[grave tree]

I just got access to the aspects menu last week*

[heavy solar]

how does that relate to what you replied to?

[paper oxide]

I mean how did that relate to my post

[grave tree]

Oh, it was just jealousy that you're better at gaming.

[heavy solar]

bruh

[paper oxide]

more like i've been playing hades non stop for 5 months

and you just started 🙂

if you hyper fixate on this you too can be as mediocre as i am

[grave tree]

I've been playing for a month & a half

[heavy solar]

touch tree

[paper oxide]

how many runs in that month and a half? i have well over 500 at this point

i guess that's a better metric than time

for how much practice i have so far

for sure. just time investment. not skill.

[grave tree]

20 something, nearly 30, and I got to Hades already!

[paper oxide]

that's really good!

the average for the first clear is closer to 50 i think

[grave tree]

(But I had god mode on, so it doesn't really count).

[paper oxide]

oh

[heavy solar]

it kinda counts...-ish

[paper oxide]

there's no shame in using god mode anyway

[heavy solar]

modding your game so you can use godmode with hellmode?

[paper oxide]

a lot of skill in this kind of game is more about whether you physically have the coordination. which is definitely ableist IF used as a metric for quality

i should record some of my hades kills so you can all see how truly garbage i am XD

[heavy solar]

I'm definitely the bestest Hades player ever

[paper oxide]

if i'm not strong enough or using ranged and can run away i basically just get hit by everything and die

[heavy solar]

only like twice?

[paper oxide]

absolutely based

[heavy solar]

same

[paper oxide]

from my extremely limited knowledge of the playerbase i'd guess @ebon berry is the best or close?

but shackle is the bestest keepsake

[ebon berry]

if you'd like to think so im very flattered

but im ok imo

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/761748064192299048.gif?size=44&quality=lossless

[violet bloom]

i think youre the best at heat

[heavy solar]

from my extremely knowledge of speedrun.com is croven

[violet bloom]

its either you or me

[heavy solar]

yo'rre

[paper oxide]

yur

[heavy solar]

at least for any heat

[grave tree]

I was fighting Hades, he was at half health, and I already used my Stubborn Defiance, but since I had 4 normal Touch of Styx and 1 Touch of Styx Dark, it was a full revive. Yet somehow, I still lost, even though I had 64% godhood and an Athena boon. As you can clearly see, I'm bad at roguelikes; but I only got 1 Daedalus hammer door the entire run so...

[paper oxide]

https://tenor.com/view/pat-cat-pat-pat-gif-25250101

[heavy solar]

nevermind I take it back JDN is the best Hades player
wr holder for supersoaker

[paper oxide]

it would be good to not use stubborn defiance

[heavy solar]

you probably shouldn't use SD over DD unless you're running LC4

[grave tree]

It says "I had already used my Stubborn Defiance."

[paper oxide]

stubborn defiance is only really used at high heat because it becomes the only source of healing. but when doing lower heat stuff most of us still use DD instead

[heavy solar]

Death Defiance >>> Stubborn

[paper oxide]

it's just easier. you were playing with a handicap even with godmode on

[grave tree]

I tend to die a lot in my runs, so I chose SD over DD.

[heavy solar]

This is truly a #h1-victory-boasting moment

[paper oxide]

XD

ok let's take it to #h1-discussion

[grave tree]

Hades boasting his victory over me

[heavy solar]

It's a joke about constant non-victory related chatter in this channel

[grave tree]

IDK, he started doing his attacks hella fast, and started spamming enemies

[heavy solar]

First life still then

[tame spire]

Charged skewer with no additive

Flat damage for charged skewer gy is certainly… a choice

[heavy solar]

delete breakpoints from game files ez

[violet bloom]

this one also had a 26.07s dad

[hollow jacinth]

😩

[violet bloom]

wait actually this dad fight was like a min long because of the triple darkness

[hollow jacinth]

Wimmick letsgo

[heavy solar]

Heroic sure footing

[hollow jacinth]

https://imgur.com/a/duFKFMl here is the fight

pretty standard stuff

got staggered at the end cuz of full call

[heavy solar]

Wasn’t fast but big number go brrr

[tired shoal]

Bigger Number, Better Person.

We all know this.

[heavy solar]

🤨

Wish it was faster though

[hollow jacinth]

No fiery presence

That’ll make it wuicker

[heavy solar]

True I keep forgetting to turn fiery on

[violet bloom]

and high confidence

and abyssal blood

[copper prairie]

should i play with heat on?

like 1 heat?

i just wanna beat the game

get credits

[heavy solar]

Heat is going to let you get bounty rewards again
So titan blood and gems and ambrosia
You don’t need to use it to get to credits though

[copper prairie]

ye thats just my goal. Guess i gotta grind 🤷‍♂️

[grave tree]

Ladies & Gentlemen, Boyos and Girls!

I have an announcement!

I have finally beaten the dad fight for the first time!

[heavy solar]

Send screenshot

[grave tree]

(Aspect of Zagreus Exagryph, Frost Strike, Phalanx Shot, and a very broken combo of Delta Chamber & Explosive Fire.)

[heavy solar]

Or photo

[grave tree]

I'm looking for it, I took the screenshot on my Xbox and I'm struggling to find it in the PC app

I can't find the screenshot but I can prove I beat the dad fight.

[heavy solar]

I don’t doubt you lol

congrats

Here is my proof

Thank you thank you 🙏🙏

[bold jolt]

tmw you complain about not getting mirage or hyper delivery so you use pstatus passion flare and get mirage and hyper delivery

along with a tart heart rend that you sold for stonks

pstatus was active by c4 as well

1:30 styx tho because i suck

[violet bloom]

nice poms

[hollow jacinth]

Level 2 flare underrated

[bold jolt]

yeah i probably should've taken sweet nectar instead of mirage shot tbh

[vivid sedge]

lvl 2 cast

[bold jolt]

oh wait actually

i had like 4 poms on frost strike (ap1) and then i got shafted by uc

partly why styx sucked

[tame spire]

poseidon gaming

[signal hornet]

40 with Rama! So lucky to get a DD from Chaos otherwise this run would’ve ended at Lernie

[random forum]

40 lernie do be the hurdle

[signal hornet]

True. I was considering equipping the acorn for him tbh!

[random forum]

Bad for build purposes though. If anything you could potentially use Spearpoint since there’s so many rapid hits in lernie, and then you’d still have acorn for dad

Simply pick up every aphro noncore and force the replace

[bold jolt]

tooth works too

[signal hornet]

Good idea. I need to use spearpoint more. Gotta save Skellys tooth for the shield dudes in Elysium

[bold jolt]

then don't burn it early lmao save it for lernie

[signal hornet]

The shield guys aren’t regular! They’re scary

[signal hornet]

Yeah I can’t argue with that

[random forum]

Tooth would be so much more egg if it was in front of your DDs/SD

[sullen ocean]

what boons are shown on the victory screen? Like are they placed there on some criteria?

[bold jolt]

Idk what's default, generally aspect and companion, but you can deselect them and pick your own

[random forum]

It picks aspect, then legendaries>hammers>pommed boons

Legendaries includes companion if it’s maxed

Trockets so unwieldy in my experience

[dusky oyster]

Rly wish i got tidal dash early tho i only was able to get it on styx

[random forum]

I always forget to use them all and you don’t reload to 3 until you use them all

[dusky oyster]

It is, dislike it a lot compared to cluster

I still think its the 3rd best hammer, but feels so weird to use

I also wish i was able to get something good with hour glass, cause it was worthless in styx

I think with acorn or sigil i could have shaved of 10+ seconds

Also wondering if i should start running modded

Bcs i hate how often i have to reset

[paper oxide]

sparks took too long again and still did basically nothing lol

[bold jolt]

sparks moment

[vale heart]

Yeah it's just inferior sea storm

Crits happen less than knockback + zeus bolts scale more with jolted/double strike

[bold jolt]

just get 100% crit rate tbh

[lunar peak]

was this really awful

[random forum]

Yes

Since nemesis can crit on its own, you can just use aphro attack and arty special

[heavy solar]

Arte strike ain’t that bad on nem though

[heavy solar]

Did you pick up cruel thrust because the only other options would negatively hurt your sword? Otherwise it was a wasted hammer tbh

[random forum]

But aphro attack crits got juice

[heavy solar]

Just hit chaos additive and RD

[random forum]

Arty attack crits got like… lacroix

[heavy solar]

and sweet surrender

[lime bane]

#h1-builds-and-combat

[heavy solar]

Nyaanyaa I just got a 5 sack

[lunar peak]

no i chose it cuz i thought theres increase of crit

it basically made my thrust 100% crit from what i rmbr

[heavy solar]

I mean for sword you want to be dash striking though
And dash striking doesn’t count as a thrust for cruel thrust

@thorn grove While I didn’t hit all the duos I think I can fairly say it’s… fine if you hit a truely stupid amount of additive

@bold jolt

Huge strikes

[bold jolt]

based

[heavy solar]

Stupid amount of additive

5.7/9
Would tentatively recommend for lower than 32 heat

[bold jolt]

lmao should've instaphased dad tbh

[heavy solar]

ngl

I almost did but dad ran away before I could triple him immediately

[bold jolt]

rip

[lunar peak]

am i the only one who barely notices that i bought a new theme until i ss

[bold jolt]

The theme is most visible at the end screen

[obsidian harness]

same lol

[paper oxide]

ok so blind lightning needs some tuning imo it's worse than spark for sure

[random forum]

Quit masterbolting

[paper oxide]

no u

[snow pine]

what's blinding flourish from?

[primal crown]

Apollo mod

[snow pine]

oh a mod

okay

[bleak ice]

FINALLY BEAT MEG AND GOT TO ASPHODEL!!!!!!

[bleak ice]

Oop- really

Sorry

[snow pine]

it's still a victory, so imo it counts

[lunar peak]

i keep getting unlucky with duo boons

[paper oxide]

definitely wasn't strong enough at the end to just tank dad. started with 3 dds and started phase 2 with none. rough.

[primal crown]

Is divine law like sweet surrender as in it increases summon dmg?

[heavy solar]

I’d assume

It’s worded pretty much the same

[paper oxide]

i'm not sure honestly. i tried both and hades only took the regular sweet surrender damage but i could have mistimed it

Hyper Rush Big Chaos Hunting Mirage Blades

achilles spear feels so weird to use lol

[paper oxide]

it feels awful without flurry jab

kinda amazing with it though

[bold jolt]

but big beam

[vestal pagoda]

yea i wish i got glacial glare but nah game didnt give it this time

[heavy solar]

Pride fixes 13% of my Hades rng problems

And complaining about rng in SGG discord fixes the other 87%

[bold jolt]

true

i complained about getting mirage crossed off and never getting rd but then i get both

and still throw a sub10 run

[tired shoal]

Prolly play too based.

[bold jolt]

1:30 styx

[tired shoal]

….

Simply too based to stay alive.

[bold jolt]

dad was 1 min

ish

9:31-10:27 dad fight

no i lost Pstatus from UC so my dps sucked

only lvl 2 cast, so pstatus was making up for it for the whole run lmao

got pstatus back for dad fight but styx was miserable

shop didn't have dem

my bad i got dem c3 or whatever

[paper oxide]

perfected dad. look acorn is full 😄

[primal crown]

Hitless dad, nice

[dusky oyster]

New pb!

I (by accident) ran past a chaos patroclus and a mid shop, missing pat hurt me a lot because i had hour glass on and that room took me about 30 seconds, so if i didnt mess those up i think i might have been able to get a sub 11

[dusky oyster]

Wow thats crazy

Ive been doing that but my brain went “hermes/hammer is good” and i saw them first and unpaused and went to them

Damn

[bold jolt]

just get patty c34 so the jerky lasts all the way to dad fight

ez

[dusky oyster]

Also for bouldy

I had to reset 13 times before i could get 8% special damage

[bold jolt]

free room and the others aren't useful anyways if you have enough hp/dds

dont get lernie taxed dummy

imagine not evading taxes

[dusky oyster]

Ty, will do

Also a question spefic for eris

If i can choose between triple cluster and rocket, what should i go for?

Tyty

Im kinda bad at using it quickly, its easier on mouse for me but play on controller

Ive been trying to line it up so 3/5 will hit enemy

But will do that instead

[heavy solar]

Was a fun run now time to get back to trying zag bow 40 heat

[minor marlin]

getting the feather to proc on the final fight is satisfying but it won't show on the victory screen

[tired shoal]

F, which weapon & aspect u chose?

[minor marlin]

oh, any. this time it was fists of demeter

[tired shoal]

^

[tired shoal]

Zagfist Plume Gaming always.

why zagfist?

Set a new personal best the other day. Pretty chuffed with myself.

optimal zeus build

[bold jolt]

nice lvl 1 zeus shield

[plain mauve]

60 heat? What...

damn

[versed crane]

2 dashes not that much for shield actually

nah the problem with RI3 is losing boiling blood

that would force me to use the worse thunder flourish build

[random forum]

Absolutely based

[bold jolt]

@vivid sedge sub8 is def doable i just kinda fumbled it

idk why i took legacy btw

2 tart chaos, eury and fountain aspho, patty and c34 chaos ely, 1 rat room, ~1 min dad fight
if i didn't have to choose between patty and midshop it would've been a sub8, and obv other stuff i could've managed better like spawn manips

should've done 40 heat on this seed tbh smh

[vivid sedge]

ooh nice

[bold jolt]

idk if i want to grind this out anymore since i got so close lmao

maybe if i get an early smair i can get it but whatever

[plain mauve]

||wait he just let me go ez win||

[bold jolt]

10 win moment

did you have a baller build that would've shredded him or was your build horrid

there's always no in-between for 10th win

[plain mauve]

it seemed bad at first

then i got duo ares/artemis, duo ares/poseidon

so 2 seeking blade rift casts

with very hgih crit% chance on aspect of hades

[bold jolt]

i think you meant arty/poseidon

but yeah

[plain mauve]

i did

[bold jolt]

but yeah you would've easily won that
like i said, no in between lmao

[plain mauve]

how do i skip credits

i feel like i understand its in the blood now

[bold jolt]

you can't lol

sit and relax

and listen to it

[vale heart]

Ce run

[bold jolt]

should've gotten fully loaded tbh

[random forum]

Thunder flare lmao what

[bold jolt]

thunder flare sucks

mirage doesn't work, cast % bonuses don't work either
you just need raw damage and rng

[heavy solar]

Bananas doing beo all flares

[bold jolt]

i already used all flares

[heavy solar]

Already

That was fast

[bold jolt]

i did it a while ago

[heavy solar]

Wait

Was someone else going to do all flares then

Huh?

[bold jolt]

i said i wanted to do all flares at 40 heat

[heavy solar]

So you’ve done all flares but not at 40 heat

[bold jolt]

yes

i've done 4/8 at 40

[heavy solar]

5/9

[bold jolt]

oh right

i still need 4 more tho

[heavy solar]

Flareless

[bold jolt]

aspect of cshot

or just ME lmao

[heavy solar]

Wdym flareless is aspect of stubborn roots

/s

[bold jolt]

oh true

dem strike, ddash, stubborn roots

makes sense

[heavy solar]

Then get athena special and artemis cast for deadly reversal

and poseidon call for unshakeable mettle

[bold jolt]

might be better to do athena strike, dem flourish, arty cast, pos dash

4 boons instead of 5

considering ap1

[heavy solar]

That would be better
But not funnier

[bold jolt]

ap1 pain tho

[lunar peak]

finally did it

i was so anxious i forgot to use the companion at all lmao

[heavy solar]

Oh god

That pact

True

I mean this 32 pact exists

[heavy solar]

It’s probably the worst 32 heat pct

[lunar peak]

bruh whats a "bad" pact?
is a bad pact a rly hard pact or a rly easy pact

[heavy solar]

A really hard pact

[lunar peak]

really?? but i found mine to be easier than the suggestions

[heavy solar]

Or an unnecessarily difficult pact for that heat

[lunar peak]

ig im just different then

[heavy solar]

More like

Slow

[lunar peak]

bruh lmao

[versed crane]

RI1 32 heat is cursed

[lunar peak]

i was relaxed/barely trying this whole run and didnt realize i got my fastest time yet, made me realize that i dont need to have a constantly rushing mentality (which i used to have) when trying to break a time record

[versed crane]

Olympian favor

[heavy solar]

Dc2 helps it be cursed though

Ap1 also makes it cursed

But dc2 does as well

[fervent night]

Every aspect does

[heavy solar]

All I did was hand them the pact

It was supposed to be the most annoying time wise

[heavy solar]

And it clearly worked

Nah

[spark flicker]

Getting more clears REALLY becomes easier after your first 3 to 5 lol. Also Stygian Blade ftw

[bold jolt]

Rod gaming

[ebon berry]

I think if it gave me a very solid challenge its probably the worst pact

lol

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/958001617477697586.gif?size=48

[heavy solar]

I mean every other heat option that wasn’t chosen isn’t really slowing you down aside from em3 and 4
It’s literally there to get in your way as much as possible for 32 heat

[heavy solar]

Maybe ap1 should’ve been put in play over hl1 hs1 whoops

Other then that, to keep it a 32 heat pact I wouldn’t drop or add anything else

[snow pine]

3 heat for the first time

love aspect of Chiron

ooh, that was a heavy story bit there

[vale heart]

Thunder flourish is trash btw

I'm pretty sure the entire reason unmodded chiron wr is sea storm is because that somehow gets around the internal cooldown

Basically, zeus can't trigger lightning bolts that fast, so chiron doesn't actually cause bolts on every arrow

Idk if even that does though

[snow pine]

oh

I was doing pretty decent dps though, I thought it did

[bold jolt]

it gets like 1 bolt per volley

[vale heart]

Does sea storm bypass-

[heavy solar]

Sea storm also has internal cooldown

[vale heart]

It looks like it

Ah

Oh wait it looks like it bc he has tdash too lmao

[heavy solar]

I think that lightning flourish and sea storm are indepent of each other though

[snow pine]

okay

[vale heart]

Ah

[snow pine]

just found out I've never won with the sword

time to do that

[vale heart]

So you get two instead of one lmao

Sword is weird

It starts out not so fun because it's just not that good

Then you get good at the game and it can be fun

[snow pine]

I'm not gonna bother with the base aspects, going all in with arthur

[vale heart]

Then you start pushing yourself more and realize how bad it is

Nemesis is the best one but Arthur's 700% the best for just getting a clear

You can turn your brain off at low heat

[bold jolt]

you can turn your brain off at high heat too depending on the aspect

[snow pine]

big numbers are a simple pleasure

[heavy solar]

sub8 thunder flare fail

oh yeah a psa for newer players, thunder flare sucks on beowulf do not use it

Great build

[hollow jacinth]

id even call it decent

[dusky oyster]

Omg

First 10 run

[hollow jacinth]

niiiice

[dusky oyster]

I just rly wish i used meg against tiny vermin

[hollow jacinth]

yeah vermin is annoying af

[dusky oyster]

Def

Ive decided im gonna keep grinding until i can get a sub 10, then im gonna switch to running modded

[hollow jacinth]

sick

modded is comfy

[dusky oyster]

I think ill prolly get to sub 10 within a week

Ive shaved 45 seconds off in 3 days

Also i wish i got a second special hammer

I rly want to try out higher heat

[bold jolt]

Don't be sorry lmao I'm not that good at the game I just want a sub8 for myself lol

[dusky oyster]

The best i ever did was 19 on my switch

[bold jolt]

But I also don't get the right Hermes smh

[hollow jacinth]

true

[heavy solar]

stop progressing in speed at a rate 100 times faster then I do

[hollow jacinth]

im more sorry i got all the free rooms and build

[heavy solar]

I mean I’ve a sub 10 but with like 6 times the clears

Big difference in picking up game speed

[bold jolt]

Lmao both my runs ive done has gotten a lot of natural free rooms as well I just did not play that great

[hollow jacinth]

oh thats fine then

[bold jolt]

I never get the boons tho smh

[hollow jacinth]

get dunked on 😈

[bold jolt]

Yeah lmao

Mediocre beo player gaming

[hollow jacinth]

having any sub7 is still better than 99.9% of players

dont discredit yourself

[lunar peak]

whats arthur pb

[dusky oyster]

Rly wish Arthur was better

Yeah, some zags are worse, and i think it gets better on high heat

but still not great

[heavy solar]

“Em4 fo2 zag bow as practice for em4 later won’t be that bad”

18 more heat for 40

[heavy solar]

Who at SGG thought JS3 would be a good chaos curse

whooooooo

you will see 60% more enemies for the next x encounters but it was an epic strike so I had to

Aside from that it was a perfectly rad run

I phased em theseus from full to 25% in literally 4 seconds

i mean was your goal clearing heat or getting a low time

[heavy solar]

It was literally just
Killing fo2 em4 hades because I do not remember ever doing em4

It was neat
I definitely didn’t learn the mechanics of the fight well

[bold jolt]

lmao based

[heavy solar]

A) I walked in full with 360/360 hp and 3 dds and acorn
B) my zag bow build was cracked enough
C) smair pos was free iframes when I needed them

so

I don’t think I learned anything

[bold jolt]

it do be like that

Unmodded record is 6:36

Tbh this is the stupidest build ever

That’s like +200% dash strike damage

No RD tho

[obsidian harness]

lvl 3 common passion dash op

[random forum]

That build is sexy

[lunar peak]

this was funny super soaker

are the chances of me getting this same exact build (same duos) extremely unlikely on my next run with the aspect

[bold jolt]

well getting sea storm prob wont be too much of an issue

exclusive access, prob more difficult

[heavy solar]

@bold jolt what are the odds I get this run again

[bold jolt]

100% if you get the boons

[random forum]

This was so much damage, v fun prophecy hunting run

[lunar peak]

my 100th and fastest yet

[random forum]

Gj

Smair Zeus call is so strong

[random forum]

Silly me thinking I could have two runs in a row where I just easily get the duos I need for prophecies

The goal here was dem ares and aphro ares duos, but horrible core luck made me switch to trying for dem pos duo and then instead I got sweet nectar and huge catch and a trash build

(Close call, though!)

[snow pine]

Lucifer

[lunar peak]

this is the best a poseidon build can be right?

nearly everytime i casted i was criting 1458

[heavy solar]

Mmm
I think bet pos build wouldn’t use arte cast tbh

Arte cast has abyssal crit chance and if you’re relying on other sources of getting more crit chance, other casts will be able to use that crit chance better

Wait your hangover is on special

Bruh

I would say it’s not close to the best a pos build can get from what I’ve seen and can think of

[versed crane]

Best poseidon build is lightning phalanx

[heavy solar]

I thought this was ok till I realised the dio and aphro on attack and special were reversed lol

[snow pine]

correct

[heavy solar]

Yeah

Hehe funny self detonating bombs though

[snow pine]

I just did what I could with what I had

zeus attack never showed up

i do

[heavy solar]

And you can’t exchange heroic boons

[snow pine]

it wasn't heroic originally

also no

I had shackle

[heavy solar]

Shackle 💪

You really want to force a god in tart and asphodel tbh

[snow pine]

eh

I got aphro attack on room 6 or 7 anyways

got zeus special on room 2-3

eh, I got a bit

my attack didn't have anything for a bit

better than none

okay

I didn't know this

oh well

hindsight is 20/20

[heavy solar]

I’ve shackle tarted at least 24 times

[snow pine]

I'll be sure to forget that in the future

because I'm absolutely going to forget that

[random forum]

But you do full shackle runs so that’s different

[lone jungle]

Got 32 with a very weird set

With one dash I bet you would have definitely used some

td1 with td3 time

[lone jungle]

Thats fair but i got +2 dashes from hermes

Sorry for bad image quality switch player

[random forum]

What kind of monster thinks “I might not clear in 20, better bump up to ri2”

[lone jungle]

💀

[bold jolt]

Tmw you could've done ri0 and dc1 if you did td3

Or ri0 dc0 hl1

[lone jungle]

dc 2 is such a small deal for 2 heat w aspect of chiron

[heavy solar]

Turn off the lights in your room before you take the pick

It takes away all the glare

[lone jungle]

Ok im in a lecture rn so maybe later

[bold jolt]

It's actually worse than you think lol

[heavy solar]

Like my photos (also on switch) usually look like

Pretty clear for the most part

I don’t want to talk about the time or my remaining hp there

[lone jungle]

Even a numbskull for example takes a dash shot and a special to kill the dc 2 doesn’t do anything

Bigger enemies even less but only rly for aspect of chiron

[bold jolt]

Or without dc at all it could just be 1 hit

[lone jungle]

Without dc its still more than a dash shot

[heavy solar]

Way faster

40 minute 32 heat redditor run moment

[lone jungle]

My runs usually go slow I usually take em slow and steady

[bold jolt]

Numbskulls are 1 shot

Also on larger targets you lose your base 70 damage or whatever

[heavy solar]

Fast and steady >>>> slow and steady

[lone jungle]

Nah i do less than 30 damage a dash shot in beginning all my damage from special

[bold jolt]

Which is the same as 7 special arrows if you want to take that into perspective

[bold jolt]

You're not doing perfect shots then

[lone jungle]

Im not lol

[bold jolt]

[lone jungle]

That’s not the point

[heavy solar]

You do less than 30 damage on a dash shot? Are you just trying to make non-flurry bow into flurry shot?

[lone jungle]

I hit a quick shot and then just use special

[heavy solar]

dash striking makes it quick anyways
Power shot it

[lone jungle]

Not at all

[heavy solar]

Hold it all the way full on dash strikes

[bold jolt]

Base damage wise it is

[lone jungle]

We not talking base damage

Very niche kit that relies like 99% on special damage

[heavy solar]

what are we talking then

The more damage your attacks do the better because you still have to hit them with the attack first

[lone jungle]

Every enemy takes shot > special or shot > special > special etc so ri not a problem

My attack is such a small piece bcuz special does by far most damage

10*3.47*1.62*1.45=81.5

[heavy solar]

Use \*

[bold jolt]

DC not ri

[lone jungle]

Im not sure if that’s exactly how the game does that math but either way my special hits hard and i only rly use attack to lock it on

[heavy solar]

10*(1+2.47+.62+.42)

[bold jolt]

And even so your atk can make it so you need less volleys

[lone jungle]

But it’s like a min-max lmaoo

[heavy solar]

But concentrated makes it (10+3x)(1+2.47+.62+.47) where x is the amount of arrows already hit

[heavy solar]

Aside from crits and base damage changes, damage % is additive

[lone jungle]

Thanks

[bold jolt]

I mean... If you want an easier time because you're dealing more damage, it'd be better to try and min max
Obv don't have to because you can still clear with crappy mirror/pact choices

[bold jolt]

Gonna start running modded now tho, bcs i had to reset so many times to get it

I couldn't tell because lightning rod

lmfao

[heavy solar]

Pulv doesn’t apply to rush though no?

[bold jolt]

well idk if the rush knocks back

so idk if that'd proc

but i do know for sure that it procs off the main atk

[heavy solar]

I think cshot knocks back

[tame spire]

I ran out of dds in elysium but no patroclus

[heavy solar]

Not sure about base rush
Not sure about cshot but more sure then about bullrush

[bold jolt]

dw it's beo you basically one shot dad

you only got hit like 6 times lol

not everyone cares about speed

that's a you problem

[heavy solar]

Heat with no speed is a reddit moment

[bold jolt]

it's literally only 14

[heavy solar]

Wait

Nevermind I got people mixed up

Yeah those times are on track for that heat/clear amount tbf

I thought it was someone else

[tame spire]

I like fishing :(

[bold jolt]

you can still fish and be within the time frame lol

that run was td2 range

[tame spire]

ok well now that I've been ridiculed about speed I'm trying td2 guan yu

[bold jolt]

lmao you dont have to do speed

just play how you want

it's more of when you get to higher heat that speed really matters

[tame spire]

ok

well I've already started the run so too late for that

[bold jolt]

festive

ok nvm I gave up because 1st boon didn't give me flourish

There is an arbitrary point in heat/clears where if you don’t have a sub20 I’ll be like 🤨but that doesn’t mean you have to decrease your clear time

[tame spire]

I need to sleep

[bold jolt]

turns out with heroic swift flourish, you can get 5 volleys with 1 attack

[vale heart]

Incredible

[vale heart]

However you should've gotten it on special only rama

[bold jolt]

I wanted to do a quick run before I went to bed
For some reason I chose Chiron but ignore that fact

An 11 min igt isn't that long

I don't think

[obsidian harness]

isn't there something with swift flurry + conc where additional specials will continue conc damage

[hollow jacinth]

Yes

[random forum]

Epic swift flourish lets you do 4 specials per lock-on and the arrows from those 4 will chain together for conc

Heroic sounds hella based

Lv9 arty flourish tho

[lunar peak]

most of my clears are around td2 time tbf
i could use a lot more practice but i actually like to take it a bit easy lol

unless you're reeeeally unlucky

I do not have confidence in the dad fight

nor do I ever have any more than 200 entering styx

unless I have the greedy slash hammer or whatever it's called

[bold jolt]

Hoarding slash moment

[snow pine]

that

[heavy solar]

Who enters styx with 600

True

[snow pine]

okay

[heavy solar]

Untrue

[snow pine]

tell that to 2300 damage crits

[heavy solar]

Hoarding slash is extra damage added after additive and crits

[snow pine]

after

that's ew

[heavy solar]

yeah

But

Since there are literally negatively affecting sword hammers

Yes but those are both negatively affecting you

Dash nova also exists

hoarding slash is the 5th worst hammer at least

for sword

Hoarding slash > world splitter > dash nova > flurry > cursed

Ah yes
I love the epic combo of -60% hp and no dash iframes

Uh

Wait no I meant no dashstriking lol I’m being uber bad at words today

I’m talking as individual hammers

and
you can’t guarantee you’ll see the other hammer

And tentatively I’d put hoarding slash above cruel thrust

Making it #6 from the bottom

yes arthur removes the whole incompatible trio

Cruel thrust, flurry slash, and world splitter

Why wouldn’t it get hoarding slash?

5% of coin

I mean I’ve gotten hoarding slash up to like

+134 damage before accounting dedge

on a meme run

yeah

I had like 2680 obols

bru but i was using crush shot

[heavy solar]

Trippy flourish if only

[lunar peak]

shld i take the replacement even tho im doing my first merciful end build?

the 153% is tempting

[heavy solar]

Fist base damage isn’t enough

And epic doom is huge for ME

Wait bruh no divine dash

Still

Unless you’ve heavy knuckle I wouldn’t take the exchange

and I wouldn’t grab it in hopes of hitting heavy knuckle

[lunar peak]

yea i didnt take it

was this a good merciful end build?

[heavy solar]

Would’ve rathered divine dash

[lunar peak]

well i kept aphrodite dash so the other 2 duos would be viable too

[heavy solar]

Curse of longing and heart rend were both nigh useless here

Divine dash would’ve let you insta drop doom on all your gilga dashes

[lunar peak]

damn ok

[heavy solar]

Since your dash strike would inflict it and at the same time divine dash would drop it

The only situation in which I can think curse of longing would be good on ME would be maybe on demeter since ME combo damage wouldn’t get halved thanks to being extra damage

But even then divine dash better for consistent damage

[lunar peak]

oh so curse of longing and merciful end don't interact brokenly

[heavy solar]

How would they?

Since most of the time for ME you’re dropping it the fraction of a second after you inflict it for full damage anyways

And it gets reapplied constantly

Like maybe on demeter if you gigacuttered a weakened doomed enemy

But that’d be exclusively single target damage

[hollow jacinth]

In order to utilise 1 duo, you can’t utilise the other

[heavy solar]

Would divine gigacutter not drop the doom 6 or 7 times for continually halving damage

Plus +40 per from ME doom extra damage

[vale heart]

That never ends up being double damage so there's no point really

Just hit another doom and dash

got the supporting boons before minatour + the chariot dude fight

how do i get more cast boosts from chaos?

at most i can have 4 rerolls and i also need to roll for the duo

[lunar peak]

bruh

i rarely get a key chamber at all

at most 1

[heavy solar]

What build is it that you need to reroll for a duo

and which duo

[lunar peak]

hunting bladdes

[heavy solar]

huh

[lunar peak]

yes ik but i rarely see a key chamber

[heavy solar]

If you have dark foresight on you won’t see as many keys
But that’s because you’re seeing more boons and seeing more boons is like rerolling but you get to take one of the options

True

In tartarus

[hollow jacinth]

2 runs with an insane amount of scaling

[lunar peak]

whats scaling

[hollow jacinth]

additional damage after youve obtained the core build

in this case the core build is a pommed flood flare and mirage shot

[lunar peak]

so scaling is getting more damage boosts and selling unnecessary boons?

[hollow jacinth]

yeah

usually with beowulf you want a lot of additive cast damage, extra cast stones, and a ton of poms

[heavy solar]

Scaling can be more than just more additive

Something like curse of nausea and low tolerance are scaling for hangover builds

[bold jolt]

Happened to see @bold jolt's build/heat setup/etc. above and (roughly) copied it to beat shield at 40 heat for the first time! Main difference was that before I was using DC2 on Zeus shield.

[heavy solar]

If only those poms had gone on jolted

[bold jolt]

lmao nice

i personally would've taken js1 isntead of cf1, but since i was going for time i had to suffer with cf1 but very nice

[lime lark]

Oh interesting! I've had trouble with z shield and speed before and js1 always scares me.

But I do think I underestimate the difficulty add of cf

[bold jolt]

It's just super annoying tbh

Buying hearts is a big deal at high heat and not being able to afford those is a pain

[heavy solar]

And more touch of styx

[bold jolt]

Yes

[bold jolt]

Oh also you like have a whole 4 minutes left, js1 would've been fine

first time ive had 4 heroics in one run

is spamming special then igniting with ice wine a good strat?

was huge dmg for me

[heavy solar]

That was

Nearly 2.5 hours

Holy

[bold jolt]

well ideally you'd have lightning strike and aim the specials near the enemies, so when you shoot them the chain lightnings will hit the bomb and ignite them
or you could dash into them
throwing a trippy shot works too, just a lot slower

[heavy solar]

Did you leave without pausing the game or something?

do keep in mind, tempest strike as well lmao

You can see the blue dot

So it’s ddash

And the purple

[mossy garden]

Well it was meant to be a full special build that run, but the first boon i got from artemis was epic attack even after rolling twice, and the next room was hammer with large explo or furry attack, but i was adamant to keep going with special so i chose explo.

The build just collapse at that point, so i just said screw it, went with poseidon cast and it turned out great for me
