[OlympusExtra] Bounty collecting on Chiron bow. This was a bit of a weird run because while I and most players typically go for Dio on Chiron special, I got an early chaos buff on my special plus relentless volley (+4 special arrows) as the best pick on my first hammer. So I went with the strongest % boon (Aphro, and got her to level 6) instead of dio, and hoped for Concentrated Volley on 2nd hammer. Didn't get Concentrated Volley so I took explosive shot and called it a day, but the whole thing worked well enough. Hyacinth is nice on Chiron because with blind attack and weak special, basically everything had 30% less hp lol

#

Also, I got epic side hustle very early, which let me pick up a titan blood in styx shop, thanks charon

yeah it just kinda happened and i decided to roll with it GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

If there is something that I don't like being, is typical

I'm proud of my bold choice of conditions for the pact

evidently so, it did absolutely nothing lmao

And that's why I put it in the mirror: because I realized that it did absolutely nothing to ME

#

But because ME was more broken than the heart of my 11-year-old self when the girl I liked friend zoned me, I decided to leave it regardless

Just to boast about it

Was going for a olympianless run, styx ruined it cuz 4/5 doors were boons and i saved the coin room for last that was if there was a purging i could leave with money instead of a boon, no purging pool, was lame but this image is still really funny to me

Hi! Apologies for making my first post a bragging thing, but this was my first time beating all four main bosses with Extreme Measures, and I'm actually kinda proud of the amount damage mitigation I was gifted during the run, even if actually winning was time-consuming.

# opal shoal For future reference, since the fists are a fast hitting aspect, damage percent ...

In terms of damage I agree: I would argue Doom itself isn't great since unless you have Dire Misfortune or maybe Merciful End doesn't take advantage of the attack speed.

Anyhow, just like using Aphrodite (and when it is an option, Athena) for Attack Boons with Malphon because my playstyle for that weapon basically just revolves around holding Attack then dashing to cancel the recovery frame of the final hit of the sequence: or I'm always at risk of getting hit in melee due to constant damage, so any opportunity to not take as much damage is greatly appreciated.

Might try to see how a similar build with the (hidden) ||Enkidu|| or Talos aspects might work though: I know (hidden) grants more dashes and actually has a wider hitbox for its attack, and while Talos doesnt have innate Dodge, Magnetic Cutter might be helpful for mobile enemies like bombers, bloodless, and those Elysium spirits. Also while I like Artemis with Fists for Support Fire, her Cast didnt help much at all.

opal shoal
#

I mean

#

that’s how you play fists

#

your playstyle is optimal and does better with flat damage. IG you can say the doom is a little mid without that but it still works honestly

mellow wave
#

... I believe we are both saying things that are true, but I also feel like you don't understand what I am saying (or perhaps I'm misinterpretting what you mean by 'better'?)

You are correct that flat damge Attack boons like Zeus, Ares, or Dionysus provide a much more substantial increase to DPS for Fists than percentile damage Attack boons, but I went with Passion Strike to constantly apply the Weakness condition, not for damage output.

That said, maybe I could have opted for Lightning Strike and Passion Flourish instead; Weakness lasts 4 seconds I think so I don't need to constantly apply it, and all of those Lightning bounces would have been helpful for clearing some rooms

mellow wave
#

It was a tank build?

Granted maybe weak was unnecessary (SMair+Second Wind meant I had +33% Dodge Chance for 10 seconds when using Call every 5 seconds, Lambent Plume, Greater Evasion, and Max Aspect granted +50.2% Dodge chance, Ruthless Reflex also grants Dodge chance when Dashing, Athena's Aid lasts for 1.5 seconds out of the 5 seconds used, and thanks to Sturdy Spam, I didnt take as much damage when I actually got hit); but I also needed an Athena active boon (for lack of a better term) to get SmAir so ... shrug

lunar peak
#

My best run yet probably the best build I had

#

Artemis's Call is actually broken

#

One full god-gauge and it immediately puts him into his impervious state

#

If he didn't have that then I'm sure this thing would take half of his HP

#

Idk I really like that her call does damage in one concentrated attack unlike Zeus

#

And I don't know who Dio is

#

And I've used Zeus's call before I feel a crit with Artemis's does exponentially more but maybe that's just me

mellow wave
#

Was inspired by the Beo discussions elsewhere on the server and decided to try this out.

Heat 2: Mirror Inspection x1

First 2 Screenshots are buffs related to Dragon Rush abuse, third is the final result.

A few notes: I started with Arte Trinket, then Dio in Aspho, then kept Perse in Elysi and Styx, but it really wasn't worth it since I got Exclusive Access in Elysium and Strong Drink in Styx from Charon. Also selling the Drunken Flourish or the Common Deadly Strike may have been a mistake, but I actually dont think I would have actually noticed any real decrease in damage from either after getting their duos.

... oh son of a ... because one of the USB ports is so janky that if I accidently put a USB port in it upside down (which is only possibly because of how janky it is), it will crash my laptop.

# rigid lion what is hyacinth? i assume olympus extra is like a mod or something cuz ive stra...

ik someone answered you already but yeah just to give a little more detail it's a mod that adds Apollo and Hestia complete with keepsakes, calls, duos, legendaries, trials of the gods, but the one downside is only Apollo has voice acting. Hestia, and any Zag dialog from the mod is just text. Also, despite decreasing consistency of the game by adding more possible gods, it undeniably makes the game easier due to certain synergies as well as raw power of some of the effects, so subtract like 10-30% of your heat value if you want to compare it to a vanilla run just saying. (Apollo is an S tier god, Hestia is an A-B tier god with some fun S-tier synergies on the right weapon aspects with the right other boons)

dash strikes if i need to be fast, full combo if i can get away with it for big damage

and if you can get the hammer that makes dash attacks hit twice you can be as mobile as you want while still putting out really good damage

[OlympusExtra] Bounty collecting on shield (the 16 heat clear was on the 12 heat bounty) This run was BLESSED - Charged shot on chamber 1, then aphro attack (god keepsaked)/apollo special (natural), got divine dash, then also flash bomb to help me upkeep blind since zeus special isnt 100% uptime, getting Minotaur Rush on 2nd with Charged Shot was VERY nice and made me melt hades with those buffed cshot hits, I was a little salty I didn't manage to get "perfect run" though, I didn't lose any hp until halfway through 2nd phase

[OlympusExtra] Just got a new time PB, beating my last one by over a minute! And while collecting bounties on 13 heat blade, too, wasn't even a darkness farm run. Basically a big arthur run with Hyper Spring into RD, Dedge/Shadowslash, and though I took a few Apollo and Hestia boons they didn't really affect the run very much, reason I had Hestia special was bc I was targeting Hestia/Aphro duo which gives you a centaur heart after bosses and a centaur soul after minibosses but never got it.

#

(The reason I took darkness up on chaos was because I had died at Hades on 13 heat on sword once before so Meg/Lernie/Heroes still gave me darkness)

#

Level 6 Epic Heartbreak Strike definitely helped

So Zeus didn't show up too much, just three times, but Artie did instead so I made up for Splitting Bolt with Lightning Rod and Splitting Headache. Got this on my first attempt, so I'd say it turned out pretty good considering how many pieces the original idea has. I'll keep trying for it, but this was mooooore than enough to melt anything and everything, especially considering I got blackout in Tartarus lol

#

Not to mention the two perfectly synergizing hammers, Pulverizing Blow and Empowering Flight, with the Artie attack. Plus the epic Dio call. Anyway, an awesome fun build if you wanna try your hand at it.

#

It could have been done on higher heat too, but I wanted the run to be more chill.

How do yall get so many duos

bold jolt
#

gods' legacy helps a bit, stuff like refreshing nectar from eurydice and yarn from wells helps a lot

dark foresight so you just see more boons, fated persuasion to reroll those boons and maybe get a duo
fated authority also works in the sense that you just get more boons so you get higher chances of seeing a duo lol

flat pike
#

It's seriously why I love authority, I can pretty much get whatever build I want almost every time

#

No need to ping, there's an actual emote for this

And it's what I though worked best for this build

For the second run I had the hammer that lets you attack twice and the one which give you a speed and dmg boost after blocking

#

But they are more or less inconsequential since the cast and the special do most of the damage

#

I usually focus on using the rush attacks no matter which aspect I'm using so I find it hella useful

flat pike
#

mhm
I don't have much experience with Aspect of Zeus so I kinda just threw my casts and sent my special out lol

#

There was some attacking, but mostly just to stunlock and keep stuff in my special/cast

And the chaos cast dmg buff could have been a lot better

Also i got super unlucky with pom RNG which is why i have lvl 6 rupture and lvl 5 crush shot, and no upgrades on exit wounds

#

exit wounds is negligible damage anyways, you're ideally oneshotting enemies with a cast volley lol

wary sparrow
#

Yeah except for some reason i ran into this thing where usually only 3 casts would actually stick into the enemy

#

It was really frustrating

#

I only got 1 max dmg shot off on hades for example

#

Because only some of the casts would hit and then the arrow would like go through him and the rest would explode at the end of the arrows path

#

And no my attack does not pierce

#

Tiny vermin was the worst in terms of that, i didn't get a single max dmg shot off on them

wary sparrow
#

No?

#

Bc the rest did no damage and didnt even hit

#

They just didnt prok and went through the enemy along with the arrow, and dealt no damage
