Rama my beloved
what's so good about zag shield ?
Safe dps with attack speed and bull rush i guess
beat the game for the first time
i honestly can't tell there are too many particle effects on screen 
that's splitting bolt
i think it did? i noticed i super turbo melted people after i picked up ricochet fire
On low heat i can imagine ricochet melts anything without zeus
I wonder if anyones first clear was with melee
melee seems at least 2x harder than ranged in this game
I agree with this statement
When starting, yeah
Rail seems almost melee, only bow struggles with high heat clears, too much enemies for zagreus or chiron to handle
After learning enemy patterns and all that the gap gets muuuch shorter
Also I wouldn't count shield as "melee" because the block solves the main issue of melee
plenty peeps win first with shield
banger build and mirror
Hades with charged shot on shield is too easy
Stand in front and spam
If you build on special ofc
Yeah it will
Quite a few people
Especially if that melee is shield
Ranged weapons function just as well if not better in melee, especially as their better hammers incentivize it
like twin shot and triple shot both reduce your range for significantly better damage output, and clockets, spreadfire zag rail or triple bomb luci do the same
all i want for xmas is a sub 6
Same
Or at least it should iirc lightning strike mechanics correctly
Same speed as zeus shield for cshot spam, you just trade off zeus special for strike damage
Which is a pretty large tradeoff but still pheasible
Cshot kinda good
Good aoe, speed, and damage
which also means chaos is kinda also pheasible as discount zag shield but uhhhhhhhhhhhh
no
The downside is that cshot is a lot less safe but if you want to make the time, you need cshot
Doable, but a lot harder than Zeus shield. At least it's less boon heavy than zeus
Oh yeah I know cshot is OP, I was just curious why zagshield specifically instead of beo or chaos
Beo increased damage sounds harsh so I can see the downside, but chaos as Discount zagshield doesn't sound so bad
How important is the bonus damage on strikes on a cshot build, y'know? I assumed it wasn't much. Maybe it's more than I thought
its 15% extra base damage every attack+cshot
Oh yeah, not bad
I don't remember beo being too slow on dash strikes. I'm assuming most of your strikes even on RI3 and 4 are dash strikes
on non beo they often arent
... Maybe I should finally check up the 64 heat clears videos to know what I'm talking about 
you’ll see in vods people staying in place and repeating cshots off standing strikes
because its not excruciatingly slow
+15 so +60%
25+80 vs 40+80
I like memeing with a full strike zagshield build, with pulverizing and that dash strike hammer. But I have no illusion that it's worse than just grabbing cshot in tart and playing around it lol
Still works well though. Just, not much can compete with cshot
Beo increases damage isn't really bad tbh
What's cucking beo is ri3 since you lose casts
It isn’t a boost on cshot
Zag shield specifically over chaos because zag shield is a lot more feasible
It isn’t a boost to cshot though, it’s just to the prior attack is what I’ve stated
i know that
i am using the attack+cshot because it is representative of the standard combo
you have to attack to cshot
120/105 is 1.14 so pretty close to 15% anyways tbh
yeah thats what i meant
i thought it was 15% exactly but i have not put that into a calculator for like over half a year
i just remembered it was 15%
Is it rude if I react with a 🤓
Yes
There are better things to 🤓
Like this google sheet I have of for how chiron hammers affect chiron damage
Oh and this is 4 chain chiron specials w/ purple or red swift flourish
Left side is just concentrated, right is concentrated and relentless)
Since swift flourish at those rarities makes it fast enough to chain the specials bonus damage
Idk man, twin shot seems to boost my damage
Hmmmm
when exit wounds does its job
Holy hermes
turns out you just need purple rd and an extra cast
Bruh i only got common strike 😔 if only it was epic
Tidal dash also would've helped
(and last, swap shadow presence to fiery)
the extra 3 dashes 😩
first run under 20 minutes !!
actually really good considering your build
thanks !!
atm i’m just trying to get every secret aspect
so I choose artemis and chaos as much as I can
hestia is sooo good for boonless runs
i unlocked the end cinematic, but when I came to Hades I was at 18:32, guess it was a good run anyway
it is counted as a 19:07 run
Finally got a sub 9 on eris
Zeus said no splitting which was sad
No rush delivery either unfort
Still shreded hades tho
and also cold fusion is quite interesting
It just showed up lmao I dont think it did anything of note
If I had it my way I wouldn't have demeter in there at all
Ia fun for em3 but alas
The wr for eris has dem special (of had idk) so clearly is optimal
Huh
felt so ridiculously powerful
First Victory! WOOOOOOO
Gaming
damage where
No such thing
although zeus call is great
14 seconds of complete invincibility is hilarious
it is pretty fun
Imagine the bosses being like the average speedrunner, cursing at you to stop being impervious
Ngl on one of my more recent runs, I think Theseus just didn’t breakpoint
I was waiting for Asterius’s shield to drop and realised that Theseus’s hp bar was misidnf
another run down!
Gaming
Gayming
keepsakes+god's pride(mirror upgrade)+luck
there's also a chaos boon that increases rarity
damn I just discovered that u can change to other talents in the mirror so what are like the best talents to have?
there's a mirror guide: #h1-for-new-players message
is gun the most broken weapon???
nah, that's beo
All the weapons are about equal, but gun can get pretty crazy with zeus attack
miiight be second most broken though ?
Beowulf aspect is def the best though
I'd say so at least
Eris is pretty crazy
Tbf if we're comparing weapons overall, shield only has Beowulf Zeus and cshot going for it
Rail has like 4 good aspects that are all strong lmao
and epic hammers
first run with gilgamesh ever and won 😎 😎
I was gonna say good ME run until I saw the special
good men't run
smear build
smair 2nd wind not balanced
@bold jolt @strong ravine @hollow jacinth thnx for the help

just get purple rd
Yeah I mean turning off ap1 was the best idea ever
I’m more proud of not even popping a single sd on Hades
when did zagbow happen
maybe the issue was needing abetter main aspect widecharon3
Whats discount beowulf? A food?
finally em4
gun + dio arte aphro is becoming one of my favorite builds
Arti call is my fav Eris call
speaking of, is gun good at accumulating god gauge ? Since it's very fast, and easy to get shots in because of being ranged
It's the best
Yes
I wanted to try a zeus atk + support fire + arte call build at one point 
support fire 
Arte call 
Support fire good
Mid fire
arte call is bottom tier, but not that bad ime
It charges quickly enough that u can call iframe every 2nd attack in bosses
found ares
how do u have infinite bullets?
delta chamber
new PB w fists AGAIN??? merciful end my beloved
ME moment
btw if you want to bring down the time a bit more, take fiery presence. a dash upper will one shot witches in tartarus and there's probably more breakpoints that help with that. ananke's fists guide should help you lower it more
oh true
forgot doom doesnt backstab 
clean timer lmao
poseidon attack fist without long knuckle sounds like torture
sisyphus : cursed to push a boulder uphill for all eternity
zagreus : cursed to punch a shade away then run after for all eternity
Good advice. I ALWAYS forget about fiery presence, even on builds like clockets and ME 
Tbf a good rule of thumb is to just always have fiery presence on
The only exceptions would be like shadow presence on Achilles
For low heat at least
At higher heats then it gets more specific about what's better
How do you forget about the superior upgrade
Smh
no backstab arthur is funny
And that’s like the one case where you would switch it on
Unless it’s dc gamign
you can also just have funny backstab anytime
one of my hera runs ended up relying on backstab
327 damage per shot with flurry
my second escape with fists, didnt have to death defy once lol ME is just that good
(sorry if its hard to see, its a photo of a screenshot on my switch)
Tbh you may want to try out sending yourself the ss’s
I take photos of mine when I can control the lighting and angle
i would but my phone is broken rn, an upgrade in being shipped rn tho
chromebook
yikes
ikr
ME moment
First win. Weird build?
So weird! 
there is no semblance of a build here
there simply is no synergy in any way
although a clear is still very impressive, especially with such a finishing set of boons and aspect
Meh, ice wine strong
Ddash strong
Frost strike is bad but still 40% of a good choice
classic "stuff that gives numbers" build for 0 heat clear
Kinda yeah
is basically an unoptimized trippy shot build tbh
also yeah, gg first of all lol
Many more are coming
After that win now im struggling with the Elysium boss lol
What is considered a build?
Boons being put together cohesively and intentionally
Your “build” looks like you just took whatever you came across
Which tbf
You probably did?
The 4 gods you have don’t really mesh into each other at all and where you have them on each of your cores is 
But it’s to be expected for a first win
and I wouldn’t be too concerned as long as it was fun
another fist escape (omg for once i didnt do a ME build)
oh god the boons are so unclear
ngl i wasnt even going for smair at the start but then when i got natural aphrodite special i realized a smair run might be fun
Yea I did. How do I get the gods I want when it depends on luck?
I just took whatever I thought would benefit me the most.
Use their heirlooms
You get them by gifting nectar to their boons before clicking them
They olympians will give a nice trinket that forces the next boon to be of that god
Most builds will have 2 core gods and the rest as support
So I just use X god and X god trinket in Tartarus and Asphodel?
Yep
that lets you start off with something you know will work
And the other half of it will actually be getting a better grasp on boons
So something like Athena in Tartarus and then Ares to try and get ME?
oh ok
Typically the other way round, guaranteeing the doom strike (and even sometimes guaranteeing the rarity of the doom strike)
If people don’t see it sometimes they’ll just quickly die so they can have another chance
Matters a lot more if you’re pushing higher heats or speed to have the rarity there
with fists i like starting athena dashand getting whatever flat damage i get first
Whats flat damage?
ares, zeus and dio
Im trying to max out my mirror and friendship rn. Quickly die you mean suicide instantly?
they don't increase ur dmg directly like % boon (aphro,arti,athena,pos)
but add a new source of dmg
Yeah
So they can get a new seed
i literally didnt get it to show up until styx lol so thats why
Do those boons increase the flat damage of the other boons?
+% boons that specifically boost attack/special won’t boost your attack/special flat damage
Those need global damage boosts like rush delivery
It would be quite broken if you could get 300% doom damage off of chaos strikes
oh okay tysm
Good job
what is the heat level on left
womp womp cold embrace womp womp
Epic swift flourish gaming
I had no idea how to scale that build beyond aphro special (and getting the charged skewer in ely), but then chaos and hermes were kind
Gaming
Also for next time don't have more than 1 source of hangover
Newer stacks override the oldest
And especially drunken dash sucks
Second win, good ME build? I barely made it lol.
nice
nice!
I got lucky and sold the fishing boon for 450gold
Oh I didnt know, I skipped all Hermes lol

Hermes is broken
Hyper sprint and rush delivery is double damage for basically free
Also getting more dash is amazing as well
some specific builds can go well with attack speed too, Hermes is really broken
I need something to increases my speed for rush delivery to work?
How does the % work?
So if I have any % move speed bonus then my damage will deal +50% if the boon is common?
Oh
Nah, you will get a % damage boost of 50% of your speed boost
So if you get +40% speed and common rush delivery, you will have a +20% damage boost
heat 3, Extreme Measures 1, Damage Control 1, Tight Deadline 1
no dmg?
got hit twice but had the acorn
Is this flood shot gaming or mostly rod
flood
rod would've taken much longer
i also had hyper sprint so it was easier to dance around him
Is this normal after I've defeated hades once or just luck
oh good good
luck
(10%+whatever bonuses you have)^3 is the percent chance
gaming
havent seen cold embrance in so long
I recently started playing again and just got 32 heat again. My rng was pretty unethical but I'll take it
Congrats and welcome back!
Good ol cp2 + js1 into almost td3 time
I can't reliably do a 5 minute tartarus on chiron and you can get away with it if you have 7 so I took it
Not sure if I had a good build, but this was my second win
double zeus is pretty powerful
Why did you put 6 heat lol. Nice one though
he was experiencing i guess
ohh
Had hell mode on, and added the 1 heat for new bounties lmao
@bold jolt told ya i could do it with one bloodstone
this is literally just discount zag bow lmao
i assumed you were gonna play normal hera
yeah but i needed to win with the estigian
yippie !
That's a lot of duos
i need more ichor
And that's bunch of ignited ichor lol
rd stonks
nice 100 streak lol
imagine not hitting
like my 2 favorite duos ever in one run
Give me your luck 🔫
Is the silver-ish border one (next to your heroic boon)
bottom right of the heroic?
Or 3rd row, 2nd from bottom to top
Yeah that one, can also hover over it and read the description as hammers always change weapon mechanics
yeah this is why i wanted to know
how can i know in the future without asking here which is from the hammer guy
not worth sacrificing right?
this is op i think, no?
especially since I've got like 200% or more bonus damage on dash strike
em4 is fun
genuinely one of the most fun boss fights in a 2d arena game i've played
Banger build
My first win 
Gaming
how does your victory screen have that skin?
if u got the thing where u deal more dmg to foes with shards in em
dont get quick reload
i'm not sure if had that or not
id assume lightning rod would change things?
bottom of the middle boons
no i mean the extra damage with shards stuck in thing
bottom of the middle boons is the quick reload no?
its a mirror thing
ah
It’s a work order once you complete enough other work orders
love me some melee bow
That just sounds like bow
nice td3 time
(use mort
)
bro everything got like deleted i barely had to do anything
watch me play like an ape and skill win
mods: longer runs, mirror of night extended
That health
60% dark foresight is wild lmao
6 dashes
25 health per chamber
This is fine
with 60% god's pride comes bad hermes boons lmao
50 rerolls tho
9 dds 😭😭😭
Did you fight 10 Hades at once 🥲
i dont wanna imagine that 12 tiny vermins 
imagine 12 butterfly balls
If you get it once, you're stunlocked so hard that zag takes 20 minutes to get out of the pool of styx
The corollary is that if you win the fight you didn't get hit once
Sounds like a job for Beowulf
Fair enough
new player (very late to the game ik) first ever clear, took me 25 attempts (a couple of which were just me messing around)
went hard with the microwave run for sure
congrats ! 
why didn't anyone tell me that the bow was broken before
people prefer hera aspect
3rd phase with no time
TRIPLE BOMB
You can use your Special By my father's name.
HEROIC
Wait what does middle management cutter mean? I haven't had it before. Pick every mini boss with their heat on?
Fought mini bosses on all biomes I think
One run before new year
beat hades with a weapon other than sword for once lol
Not exactly a PB
heh, been a year since a run 🤭
You certainly know which weapon you like 🫡
heh, i dooo!
i just love the versatility the spear offers between close and long range
hahaha
bow is a melee weapon
My friends don’t believe me 
bow is a backstab weapon
i have been scarred from my hera phalanx run spiraling into a 327 per hit flurry shot
escaped w all the weapons
First double digit heat run
best build for bow?
Depends on the aspect
My best ME run
doom poms???????????????????????????????
I think I got unlucky most of my poms are random
First crystal run
arctic blast where
u still won so its a w
It is in there
the whole reason you take glacial glare is to hope for arctic blast, which adds 8-10 damage per tick
or if youre on stygian soul
oh mb i thought that was rare crop👴
wait that is i just confused arctic blast with snow burst
I have both lol
What other gods I should go for after artemis and demeter? #h1-builds-and-combat
finally got exploding launcher(hooray prophecy)
also the run slightly spiraled from a special build into a cast build when i took flood shot in tart
It's been a long time since I played arctic blast, but iirc proccing the blast clears all stacks of chill. So it's 10 damage each 11 ticks, not each tick
10 damage every 11 ticks is crazy
80-110
you mean all your most important boons are not epic ? That sounds painful. I would hate that it happens to me
imagine not having heroic
Procing blast does clear all stacks, and then you can’t reapply for a little
Or killing freeze 
-place bombs
-dash into them with athena so they blow up while you're hyper sprinting
New strat:
Place 3 bombs far apart
Place NINE bombs where you want an enemy to be. for example where REDACTED stands between phases (because if you click fast, only the oldest 1 bomb blows up)
Completely skip the phases where he shoots lasers
there is no laser shooting phase, its just "phase 2"
but there are 2 different patterns of laser depeding on his hp
He tried to shoot lasers once but I interrupted him with damage. Looks like a phase change to me
insane
I like the exact 100 gold
i solved the problem of figuring out how to consistently get under 20 mins by turning on fo2 
CLOCKET 😍
Decided to lurk around here before trying to clear 32 heat, guess that was the right call I totally did it first try I can’t feel any better 
Congrats for beating 32 heat for the first time (especially with a rougher pact like this)

I just picked whatever felt easy to me
Honestly shooting for it after 8 clears w/ bow is also a tad crazy
I am not very familiar with names what would be td1
Oh the 36min run ye I was going into the run thinking I am playing bow super safe no stress so I didn’t wanna put a deadline
Deadline is usually seen as just free heat… but you’ve also gotten Jury Summons 3, Calesthenics Program 1 and damage control 2
So your run was artificially time lengthened
I see I see 
I was considering dropping Jury summons for the extra measurement 4 but I got scared I have never faced last boss with 40% speed
Idunno how much harder it is probably just diff timing
Em4 isn’t really taken this early tbh
Just found my last 32 heat pact
Normally Hard Labour is at 5 and not 3 but I wasn’t too sure of myself with Hera since I don’t use it often
iirc
You just rly focus on a no hit run
Or do u purposely die on each rooms
Also off my 40 clears my fastest is 20:08 so td3 seems unreachable as well
Tbf
Your current pact is actually shooting you in the foot almost as hard as possible

and just a few levels, 1 or 2, is an extra 2 heat you can take off elsewhere
I’m gonna be honest I tried this pact with excalibur and gave up after 3min before going on the bow
thats one of the worst 32 pacts ive ever seen
Because I knew it was gonna be impossible
god almighty
how can u take so many pacts
im always amazed by just the number of things taken on new 32s
Have you seen the reddit ones though?

What’s the benefits of taking deadline over damage control
but its just like
way lrss bad
damage control is annoying as hell
tight deadline is free
My very first heat when playing this game was damage control
I read them all and thought
Yep this one is the worst
so you made a bad decision
thats on you
we all did
my first 32 pact i thought of was pretty bad
I just doubled back and looked at your mirror and goodness it’s a bit better but still
Still first tried it with a bit of power of friendship and rng 
Don’t do yourself dirty like that
With a pact like this you’ve got to have some skill
Honestly I just got everything I wanted off the boons I found
There are only 3 outliers off your mirror and they aren’t really that bad
What are they
Oh this was Chiron
Avoid having 2 sources of hangover
It only uses the damage from the last one that hit
So if you put a lot of poms into your special
You might get screwed by your attack
Oh
Yeah I got my attack on the shop of the last zone right before the fight
Because I didn’t have any attack boons
So I was like Better than nothing
fiery presence for the first one (kill enemies on the first hit to make them dead), regen should be swapped to the green one (can’t remember name, but it’s consistent healing), and
The one that lets you start off with gold >>>> the hoarder mirror upgrade
I’m missing names for both
Fiery presence with cp is just meh
It’s like if I’m gonna take 3 arrows to kill u rather do 4 it’s just a 25% dps decrease
im just slow which is why i td2
Wait deep pockets is better ?
yes
yeah
you get a MUCH faster tart and asphodel
It shouldn’t if you’re properly using your gold
yeah you want to buy boons and stuff instead if youre doing high heat
Consider clearing bounties 
You have a lot of free blood hanging
Same with diamonds
I mean bounties are 2 blood every time
2 blood per clear, 40 blood per weapon
And 1 diamond
try heat
Like never except for the sword clear I have to do
then youll see lots of darkness
And tbh those bounty runs won’t be as long if you use a “proper” pact that isn’t shooting you in the foot timewise
Also… consider the #h1-builds-and-combat channel if you have any questions
This pack of punishment works easy for me
thx for that
Now let's see that third statue, Skelly!
what on earth is this pact
I didn't have a great build. Only one option per choice, no re-rolls.
people will do ANYTHING to avoid td3
TD3 I could reliably get to Styx but would always lose to Hades.
So this run was all about making Hades as normal as possible.
this is certianly a pact and build of all time
Hahahaha
its better than lc4 hl4 em4 ri4 td3
I call it "True Random."
i think destroying any semblance of consistency is not worth learning to speed up clears
td1 and cp1 are needed
I'd agree with that. Up until now I have always played Darker Thirst and have gotten all weapons cleared up to at least 12. Shield had my record before this at 20. I'm a flexible player. Not a speedrunner though.
I can only admire their skill from afar.
eh, i think there's a lot of value in learning how to play faster, even if you aren't speedrunning
True. Took a while for me to adjust to Fiery Prescience.
And you thought mine was bad
This is pretty agregious too
First clear under 20 
nice

Bro used the speed pact but worse
Em2/Fo2 is fine, but em4 for 13 heat is way overkill

You are kind of using the speed pact, I don’t see the issue
i barely survived 😰
living on a prayer, i see
hp is a resource, you just used all of it
i do em4 for 10 heat
granted its for practice when i eventually do it on heat
it is there to help me not die!!! 😎
How about this 32 heat
still a cursed pact but it's less cursed than the last one lmao
Better pact, would still skimp out on cp, js and dc though
Also Athena opens up like 3 duos you wouldn’t want on this build, so as good as her dash is, idk man.
lvl 5 drunken fourish is your damage lmao
it's not like amazing damage but it's consistent, which is the point of hangover
2 chaos flourishes too with 29% sweet surrender, that's not too bad either
It really took me forever to kill final boss tho
I'm just not rly used to play on hangover effects
Usually I just go Artemis and crit for 700
its chiron
what do you expect
chiron has never killed an enemy
Leave him alone 
Coaches don’t play
I've played on em4 ever since it was available so I'm sort of used to the fight, once you get to that it's easier
Yeah but tbh it’s going to make all the usually better heat options seem worse in comparision
like the ones that are better in every other scenario
At the end of the day it's whatever's better for you
Yeah
You all seem to hate dc but I feel like it's just 2 free heat
Unless I'm playing very slow weapons
I’m trying to find the heat guide to recommend it to you 
Sure tho I would rather wanna keep dmg low on my every run
The ones that prolong enemy life expectancy get exponentially worse with each added level of heat
that’s why
Enemies living long isn’t just extending your time in every room but also giving them more chance to hit you
so td becomes worse, and so does lc and hl
and then enemies living longer stacks with enemies living longer, so cp (an already bad pact option) becomes worse
And then js, an also bad heat option, becomes worse because there are now more enemies to benefit from this, slowing you down and hitting you more
might be becuase you gave him like an extra 15k health lmao
cp2 moment
Yeah I mean just your hangover alone would’ve taken about 9 minutes to kill him
Sorry make that 7.5
Mfw when making enemies have more hp makes enemies take longer to kill
i actually did another run and i actually beat hades with the aspect of arthur 😎
aspect of arthur does so much dmg
It certainly puts out big damage numbers (just disregard the time aspect)

I forgot
Backstab is better for bosses anyway
Should also have done family favourite instead but oh well. Was fun
first time hitting clockets

What is this build 😭 Image this with Artemis attack
how this this turbo ultra tragic build beat 32 heat
now imagine if you had clockets, you could easily beat 40
i dont think builds get better than this lol
is this actually good, i can't tell
lvl 4 jolt and rocket bomb with lvl 6 epic aphro special with chaos and lvl 4 epic shoals with lvl 3 epic tdash and rd on top of all that
hm
maybe i'm just not very good at making builds then
or rather, identifying when a build is good
The build is your standard eris + rd making it great
eris 
honestly you just want clockets, otherwise it's perfect build
you could get greedy with splitting and call and smair, but meh
thats almost the opposite of my first 32
if you got splitting, zeus call, and smair, it wouldve been the complete opposite
Wdym by this
Splitting gives you a chance for double bolt which makes the Zeus call op, and smouldering air charges the call automatically
i got none of the boons i wanted
took an epic drunk flourish to try and swap for a heroic thunder flourish and for a faster tart/asphodel
turned out zeus didnt appear that run
so basically i had to cope with drunk level 1 zeus shield
What kind of gamble was this lmfao
Despite that you made it out with 2 defies
what happened:
took drunk flourish for a swap/some actual damage in tart/asph
took something(i think thunder dash) for static discharge/splitting bolt reqs for when i eventually get thunder flourish
zeus decided to dip
I don’t see much difference between this and this with artemis attack
But is Artemis better?
is quick reload a self nerf there
Nah, if you can't wallbug it helps a lot
Hera max lvl is 5 seconds
Quick reload effect is directly put into hera's description
I mean artemis would open mirage shot
oh, I didn't know that
oh wow
that's cool
Dang that’s a nice touch
god damn
i didn't expect to get so luck with the duos
also nice 2 streak dident even realize
EA as last boon moment
there's not a single epic boon in sight 
This is why you need God’s Pride
no you need the 2% from legascam
That moment you get Exclusive Access at the end of Styx.
I love this. Keep it up!
Will do, thanks!
did a clear using hera, it went insanely well!
I know privileged status is less consistent, but I always use it purely for the sound it makes 
It’s so satisfying
Valid
Any thought on my build? I started quite recently and i am only beginning to dive into theorycrafting.
The build felt good but it is probably because i had 2 duo boons for my festive fog.
it's coherent
Swapping to stygian soul (and lucking out with +1 casts) would help
Also swapping to family favorites cuz you couldn't manage to activate it constantly
Unless you know you are getting 2 curse status, Fam favs is more consistent
take acorn into styx, and dont pom useless boons
even if the damage seems really little, sometimes pomming important boons makes a big difference
for example, speedrunners usually end up with 10 poms on their cast
what did you considered useless? Curse of vengeance?
yes
revenge effects are really only good if you plan on getting vengeful mood(ares+zeus duo), or are doing a facetank build
because i wanted to up the cast more, but he wasn't always in the pom selection
Meh, it's a lot of damage on a pretty frequent timer
Pomming cast or jolted is better, but curse of vengeance is 100% fine
You don't need to proc it every frame for it to be worth
Ares/zeus vengeance aren't bad and yeah assumed it was gonna be cuz no cast in pom screen
i typically just purge revenge effects
I mean
I was hoping to get some hangover to use with cold, but it didn't worked.
Curse of vengeance -> holy shield + merciful end
but wheres holy shield+deadly reversal
I was convinced I had a bad run with crappy boons... Turns out dad died real quick
flurry epic dstrike is already enough
apparently 🥲
this build makes demeter cast actually good
castpect where
Isn’t that how you call the bloodstone?
castpect is a cast aspect
meaning achilles, hidden shield, poseidon, and talos generally
occasionally some people do eris
huh
Eris' damage buff is global
The niche use case is like if you have Artemis special and you run into ares and you take his cast lmao
i still dont get what are you guys talking about
Castpect is an aspect that gives some sort of bonus to the cast
Poseidon, Achilles, Beowulf, Hera, Talos, and eris all give cast damage
Out of those, eris and generally Talos arent really used as castpects
Oh yeah gilga
ok but what does any of that have to do with my build
You did a cast build on something that wasn't a castpect I suppose
You missed out on free damage buff from Achilles or Poseidon basically
Or Talos and eris
bruh i dont even care about aspects, i just use the same on every weapon 😭
Based
unless one of those is chaos aspect
But part of a build is choosing the better aspect to play, so while your build's all good, it feels weird
Epic hyper delivery, an used Athena defiance, an unused one, and this for my new bow heat record on my 120th bow clear.
And forgot to use battie
Divine dash is really good
Luna!
7 casts is funny
Why are the sizes of the boxes different? They shouldn't be overlapping
:)
GG ! 
Nice zag bow run
you have 6 columns of boons
Oh yeah lol
this is an awful build
cursed build
That’s what you get for running curse of drowning
i needed the prophecy
i just wanted to farm
Green mirror
my best record yet! im getting used to this green mirror thing
flurry fire carried this build im ngl
question: how'd you get your victory frame to look like that? :O
Cosmetic upgrades through contractor. Can’t remember exactly when they’re unlocked
All work orders complete
Oh that makes sense
why do my meme runs win
finally
can't believe i actually beat it in td3 time as well, even if it is only 6 heat
em4 when
I saw this and decided to give it a spin too... but with EM4 and Tight Deadline!
note: bow is probably the weapon I am worst at among the six, as should be made clear by my heat- and time-records
||first try lmao||
better player than me 
||ok but do it ff now||
How about: no, cannot be bothered 
I can try grinding for a 1-boon freshfile run though, if that is something you want to see happen (à la Retr0Spektre with his Divine Protection only run)
@heavy solar @bold jolt
My first time beating the game with fists. Second attempt, too
gaming
Back when I did it, anyway
switch olympian favor when
dunno how dio is relevant to this build outsdie of call
Divine strike is mad questionable
Also yeah the build seems solid. Except colossus knuckle don't play well with concentrated
I only have like, 30 hours of gameplay. I'm not deep into the builds yet
that's way enough 
This build being “solid” is mad questionable
ain't. Very safe. Safety means you can hit more.
The fact y'all remember the names is nice. I don't really read them, I just look at the effects
It's not optimized, but it's good

dw it comes with playing the game for 100+ hours 
I'm still close to 40 runs/30 hours
564/405-ish
It’s a good game
We should leave this chat, mods will bonk us
And I try a lot of stupid stuff
If anyone would get banned it’s me tbh, with how many messages I’ve sent here
Wait discord doesn’t tell you exactly how many messages you have sent anymore
It’s too many either way
yeah we can go to #h1-builds-and-combat
4 duo boons. Is that even good?😅
I also did it for the fates...
A) that’s 3 duos, b) yeah this is pretty nice
Ah yeah the first one was only a regular legendary, I tend to mix them up.😅
ME rail isn't something i expected to see
I guess it is more played on fists?
melee aspects, like sword, spear, fists, and sometimes shield
Rail is a melee weapon
ME zag rail works brilliant
eris ME 
rama ME
i hate styx
also did last phase with about 2 hits taken
most damage taken was from mistiming charged shot release against the spin
hl5 is 1000% easier than lc4
how do you get those victory cards?
complete all work orders including contract breaking ones
death defiance 
Pretty mid boons this run ngl. tried to make a good Arthur build.
Lightning strike Arthur might be why it felt mid but also red Rd and jolted kinda good
Why are there dupes
Smair would make it work too
thunder flourish poms where
That zeus call would've been nice
what exactly am i looking at here
Guess I got unlucky🤷🏼♂️
“Good build” and “arthur” in the same sentence
I don’t see any dupes
All Hermes boons look similar, its just that I got every heroic hermes boon in the game
chamber 11 very interesting
It's common tho
Maybe one is for stygian and one is for infernal
no way legendary flurry
Idk man I think zeus is right
If I was an Olympian and I saw Zagreus get to the surface and die because the air particles were too aggressive I would give up on him
Clearly Zeus has not thought of that
do you not know the plot of the game
I do I beat the epilogue a few weeks ago
i know that this is not the right channel
