Got into the game 3 days ago and managed to clear Hades yesterday, immensely proud. (Already got some other victories since then.) At first it seemed insurmountable, but got there after some practice (and some healthy meta-progression). The actual reason I got there is because Hades does a great job keeping the player engaged, thanks to rich mechanics, random builds, story & dialogs, and so on. Had recent experiences in other games where you're supposed to keep wiping on a boss until you learn all the moves and timings, where I gave up on the game because it was boring. In Hades, retrying actually brings variety. 👍

Just had an interesting Guan Yu run thanks to yesterday's advice in #h1-builds-and-combat (unleveled, no less). Ended the run at mere 60 max HP, but was taking very little damage thanks to Guan Yu's excellent range and crowd control. The key was to Special/Dash-Attack or just spam Dash-Attack, avoiding the normal stationary combo. Later parts of the run were carried by Stubborn Roots HP regen, which works really well with Guan Yu because you don't have a large HP pool to soak up your mistakes. Also managed to purge Demeter's prerequisite later for something more damaging. Never crushed the final boss with such ease.

#

Naturally, it just depends on relative positions etc.

#

When closing distance or when enemies are armored (see armor-killing hammer on screenshot), it's definitely Special into Dash-Attack, but when at close distance, spamming Dash-Attack can be better either for CC (stagger-locking mega vermin and such), or dancing around this one muscular dude

wary brook Jul 20, 2023, 9:22 PM

Yeah in the long run you get more gold. But the gold from deep pockets at the beginning of a run allows you to buy boons and stuff which in turn, starts your run off very strong and can help to build your build very early on

#

Was that a run on sentence

warm notch Jul 20, 2023, 9:26 PM

#

the difference between a rare and common boon isnt usually much like a pom or two. the extra secondary boons and duo/legendaries from dark foresight are much more impactful for a build

Gotta try it more with Gods' Pride, I suppose

My current Olympian Favor & Gods' Legacy isn't there because I think it's strongest, it's for prophecies 😂

sharp echo Jul 20, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

Dark Foresight helps thin out rewards that dont impact runs like Darkness and Gems. Even the Work Orders that give additional stuff with them arent as worth it as outright getting more boon and pom chances.

#

And yeah Dark Foresight + Gods' Legacy is the best way to hunt for Legendaries and Duos.

Pretty sure it's adding 40 on top, either at the end of the damage calculation or onto the base Doom damage, and I would guess that it was adding in the damage of your special/dash hitting the enemy as well

Just had an interesting run with the ultimate explosive bow: Aspect of Hera, Dionysus Trippy Shot, Explosive Shot, Triple Shot, Mirage Shot, and various boons supporting that (more ammo, faster ammo regen, Pressure Points, etc.). Somehow ended up with 3 Duos and 1 Legendary thanks to the combination of Chaos rarity buff and well-timed Exclusive Access. The power of the bow and the cast was amazing, and it's comfortable against the final boss because you stay at range, have good DPS against single target, and great AoE to clear out all the adds. But maybe my results are biased by Mirage Shot and such, which is not guaranteed.

Interesting. I should note that I changed from another cast to Zeus after getting Chaos boon, but that's beside the point. Zeus cast is completely unaffected by cast damage bonuses? I was wondering about that during the run, but it was hard to tell

Does that also mean that it doesn't suffer from the damage penalty on Mirage Shot (outside of Beowulf bug)?

Aspect of Poseidon with Aphrodite cast. Lucked into 3 useful Duos, ended up critting the final boss for 1700+ with my casts. Survivability enabled by Athena Dash + Hermes Dash count increase, don't know what I would have done without those

infernal soul is great here anyways because it gives you burst damage

winter scroll Jul 23, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

Previous run (and streak) was killed by trying Aspect of Poseidon with Athena casts, which disappointed me greatly (despite getting Phalanx bounce Duo boon)

#

Athena casts are ranged so you have to chase Bloodstones, they fly slowly, they have way less damage, and most importantly, the casting animation has delays before and after the actual cast that expose you. Also I was noticing that my Athena dash wasn't protecting me as it should have, but I had no such issues with Aphrodite casts.

#

Kind of ironic that the "defensive" deflecting cast is the one that exposes you most

#

Although Demeter turrets are far more awkward

Because there were basically no poms lmao

winter scroll Jul 23, 2023, 11:47 PM

#

Jolt procs when enemy attacks, right? When I consistently maintain my disc on the enemy, Special procs several times per second, so let's say +1 pom on Special would be like +10 DPS not counting Double Strike (which also affects Jolt). Meanwhile +30 damage on Jolt depends on enemy attack frequency. It matches when the enemy attacks once every three seconds. Hmm...

urban bane is there a guide you'd recommend that lists a bunch of good builds? I've found a...

My 32 heat guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies has a few. They're kinda bare bones and they're probably featured in the larger guide but it'd help with heat builds if you want to grind that

urban bane Jul 25, 2023, 4:27 PM

#

Mostly just looking for more variety rather than high heat specifically (I'm only at like 2 heat so far)

#

Like, my last run with the fists, and I'm standing thinking which god trinke tto use it and it's like, okay... zeus? Zeus is so good on the fists basic attack.
but I've just done too much of that, so want to mix it up.

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

fists the biggest build is def ME

urban bane Jul 25, 2023, 4:34 PM

#

Why is ME especially good on fists?

warm notch Jul 25, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

its good on every melee weapon

#

just does stupid damage

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

on fists zeus atk isn’t as good as on rail due to the stun

urban bane Jul 25, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

warm notch its good on every melee weapon

I would have thought that e.g. Eris would be one of the best weapons for ME, since you're often playing close anyway, and the Eris damage boost is global right

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

and since you’re already playing up close you basically proc ME anyways

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

urban bane I would have thought that e.g. Eris would be one of the best weapons for ME, sin...

eris has greener pastures

#

you can do it on eris and it’s ok

urban bane Jul 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

fair enough I suppose

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

but you’re better off getting jolted and tdash etc etc

urban bane Jul 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

Why does stun make zeus worse on fists though?

warm notch Jul 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

jolted needs enemies to attack

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

because it stops jolted from proccing while you pummel

urban bane Jul 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

oh, I see

hollow jacinth Jul 25, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

Eris is pretty bad with no boons, so before ME you’ll have a rough time doing damage

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

yea fists has a more capable kit prior

hollow jacinth Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

If you want ME on a rail, hestia or zag rail are both solid

urban bane Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

So for fists/ME I guess the boon that makes your doom stack is basically essential?

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

zagrail fans when no hammer til ely

hollow jacinth Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

Nah not really

warm notch Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

no you want impending doom

hollow jacinth Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

Impending doom is fa r better yeah

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

yea the stacking one is useless

warm notch Jul 25, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

you proc ME basically as soon as you apply doom

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

you might get an extra 12 damage in every blue moon or 2

#

but just get impending instead

warm notch Jul 25, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

the other big boost is rush delivery

urban bane Jul 25, 2023, 4:38 PM

Oh, I'm an idiot I misread ME

strong ravine Jul 25, 2023, 4:38 PM

okay, so you want, what, Doom on special, athena dash, and then you special/dash repeatedly?

no

Not an amazing run given the cluster bomb start but at least it's sub12, which was the last one I needed to have all aspects sub12

winter scroll Jul 26, 2023, 1:15 AM

#

Just had perhaps the strangest of my runs. Started with Sisyphus Shackle to level it up, and failed to find any decent Attack or Special through the entire run, so Shackle probably saved the run. Ended up relying a surprising amount on Tidal Dash and True Shot with Quick Reload, of all things, which turns out to penetrate shields of Exalted shield guys and Theseus! Struggled through the Temple, but found Lightning Rod just in time, and proceeded to kill the final boss by vomiting out my Bloodstones and letting Lightning Rod do the work. Quick Reload carried this strat.

#

My respect for Lightning Reflexes went way up thanks to this run, as well as for Dash Nova

Messes with the size of the flares on beo and randomized Hera shot damage iirc. This is second hand from jazz's and banana's knowledge

It seems the advice is to not take rare crop on either of those two.

On beo maybe it's just passion and icy flare and cshot it affects? And the hera one isn't super well understood?

Small flare is only passion and icy flares, cshot damage drops to 50 if you pick up crop after you get cshot and it lands on your cast
