hexed pelican
Very fast!
hard dew
thanks I was using basic fists, favorite weapon ❤️
had to go fast cause I had the 5min heat
rustic warren
been seeing some ppl on here with what looks like a woodland/artemis theme. How do u get that?
hard dew
architect guy at the hub
rustic warren
does it unlock when u buy other themes? its not there for me and i have no themes yet
hard dew
yes you'll get to that
rustic warren
thx
hard dew

median pawn
so i jsut finished this run
and well, with the upgraded beem cast, and two beam upgrading duo boons as well, mr man didnt stand a chance
atomic nacelle
First Victory Royale 
atomic nacelle
haha thank you!
tulip marsh
WOO! first win here, too!
tulip marsh
thanks, was about my 33rd run, i think
hard dew
feels great right?
tulip marsh
i had 2 extra defiances by the end, never even used skelly or the special regen boon
forget what it was called
autumn valley
The Streak Continues
marble dust
I stacked a lot of HP and gold this run, it was funny seeing the health and damage scaling lol
I even sold some legendaries/duos to get even more gold by the end hehehe
hard dew
Looks awesome i gotta try that
tulip garden
@shell void Nice, zeus is crazy fun when you get the right build.
Had a spear build with the explosion special and a bunch of zeus boons. I kinda got into some head RP, lol.
distant leaf
I finally did it
With probably best and cheesiest build i could ever hoped for, but still.
distant leaf
I got lucky with upgrades
like, REALLY lucky
+4 shots on special and damage ramp-up
plus Artemis crits
like, a lot of artemis crits
analog canyon
all in all, very nice, congrats on first win
distant leaf
ty, i was a few failed runs away from giving up
besides, that chiron bow is closest i've found to maxed fang repeater from Bastion
dapper tangle
poor man's railgun prevails
shell void
add me to the chiron party
whole sapphire
first time I beat the final boss without losing a death defiance thanks to all that deflection 0.o
torpid temple
Quit the Athena Dash habit cold turkey with the help of Hermes. It was close.
severe stump
Had a fun time with pops.
autumn valley
Another clear to add to the list. And yes, this game is amazing
solemn birch
I had two lives going into Hades. Lucky Tooth and one natural left.
He made me burn both of them.
autumn valley
Yeah, he's tough getting started. But when you learn his move set it's a lot easier. It takes time though.
solemn birch
Yeah. He surprised me with his second phase
But luckily I was using shield w/ demeter turret cast
and zeus call
so I just kinda held the shield up and let them do the damage
hasty ginkgo
That's two babey!
mossy kernel
Finally Beat ||EM4 Hades|| with ||Beowulf||
Also not really victory boasting with this one, but I like saving up a bunch of gold just to fail the Hades fight but still get my Blood anyway 🙂
thorny salmon
being able to save so much is a victory in itself
idle escarp
Full health all DD looks like a solid run to me
idle escarp
Redacted go boom
waxen sluice
Hows my attempt? lol
jolly sonnet
Those are some crazy max heat numbers, are those from the current patch?
rustic warren
Hilarious Poseidon aspect Combo. Cast with crush shot, dislodge with special and apply doom, then activate doom with attack.
slate geyser
@jolly sonnet i'm... honestly inclined to believe they're not legitimate, considering several things, one of them being 14 total clears across all weapons
rustic warren
could be an alt file
though that is very generous
plus the 12 win streak at such high heat...
slate geyser
accruing enough darkness to basically max the mirror as they have within only that many runs is... yeah (not to mention the sheer amount of nectar required to purchase that UI style from the contractor)
rustic warren
oh I see that now
spring valley
is finally buying everything for the lounge a victory? can I boast about that?
slate geyser
a victory for hellish interior designers worldwide
spring valley
Or do i have to boast about beating ||Extremer Measures? ||Because I did that too.
slate geyser
congrats!
stone iris
I died 66 times prior to this victory though. Lol
slate geyser
yeah that sounds pretty normal
stone iris
Chill with decay owns btw
tight adder
ive come to appreciate demeter a lot more recently
stone iris
Chill is real good against those chariots
tight adder
she has a lot of great duo boons with other gods
spring valley
what's the jolt one called? where you just hit an enemy and sit back as he kills himself for 10 seconds? i like that one
tight adder
cold fusion i think
stone iris
That one is reeeeeeeaaal goooooood
It is actually in my build for my first victory if you scroll up a bit
fluid coral
Heavy Damage over Time Exagryph build
lunar peak
I forgot I was in this Discord so have this even though I got it hours ago
Excuse the lack of a full screen, I only cared about the time
Was Heat 8 with the Nemesis sword
slate geyser
very solid time, nice!
lunar peak
danke
acoustic shadow
Had more dakka this time. 2nd clear! 17th attempt overall!

grizzled dew
I fell in love with the rocket shotgun crit build lmao
fair gate
rocket shotgun crit is the only build let’s be real
idle escarp
well that was a lot of damage
also got a TON of gems because i got TWICE the extra gem thing from chaos
solar robin
First EM4 clear, finally! Yes, I like all kinds of cheese, why do you ask? 
lament zodiac
got greedy cus I got hermes' 13 gold per room boon
bought the blood but came out with like 40 hp left, but full defiances lol
harsh mica
@lunar peak wow, how do you even go that fast

This run was absolute overkill

@fathom spire please hide your message; it's a massive spoiler

i was a tanky boi haha

omg i am so sorry i feel so bad
tough mirage
heh, let's hope nobody got spoiled in that time
dapper tangle
close call indeed
still crag
Only Dash 2nd try
from 23 to 37 xD
and i missed a 75% chance of removing a boon that lost me 3 points, (i couldve gotten lvl 40 
)
restive tartan
just finished a run with +75% movement speed, was easier to dodge by running instead of dashing lol
velvet carbon
weak pawn
The pinball build, probably the most fun yet I've had in this game.
torpid garnet
under 12 minutes, new record on my second nemesis fastness attempt
glad drift
7 bloodstones, Hera, Quick Reload, Exit Wounds. Just excellent.
Extreme Measures 4 spoilers

That's a lotta damage, jeez
lavish lotus
Took me 23 times to finish the game then beat it twice in a row

Rama bow win 😛 Probably the only bow ill play

tfw you beat the game for the first time but you forget to screencap both the stats AND the ||sunset view|| to use as a background
tacit brook
3rd win!!!
keen python
First win with lightning dashery ^^
distant leaf
Second Hades kill ever for me
Who would've known that spamming 400+ fog grenades could be a legit strat
tired stump
Spoilered for new Keepsake, but this was my first Curse of Drowning Run, which I ended up getting in Tartarus, and was utterly insane after that.

it's very easy to save this much I feel
I ran Golden Touch (the compound interest is HUGE), never used shops, ran Dark Foresight to counter the lack of shop-boons, and took every trove with obols, and every room with coin
outer lichen
100% dodge chance win
mossy kernel
can you just stand still??
analog canyon
well dodge is multiplicative, but that's still 70% to dodge
outer lichen
That makes sense, but yeah I could pretty much just stand still and hit Hades
strong torrent
first clear with zag sword, tho tbh it was mostly the blade rifts
rapid spade
second time using poseidon sword it is very fun :D
bold drift
Athena, and Ares Duo Power was just silly useful for this one
tulip marsh
my second win, and with my least favorite weapon (besides maybe rail)! didn't expect this one
tribal inlet
VERY bold of you to roll with FO2 on a 32 heat run
rare moss
didn't have much choice. It was that or pump Benefits Package up higher, and I was not doing that.
but all the same............. 💪
slim kiln
tulip marsh
ayy, #3! can't believe i got 2 in a row
slate geyser
odd choice of attack boon for hestia since it doesn't synergize well at all with its central gimmick, but hey victories are victories in the end
whole sapphire
@slate geyser yeah, youre right. i didnt really get any better boons or hammer upgrades early, but I do actually enjoy having unlimited ammo and still reloading sometimes even if it's not really good of efficient ;-; and it worked out in the end
slate geyser
yeah, it's overall a rail build that definitely works! it's just too bad when a run doesn't really want to compliment the specific aspect you're using
whole sapphire
yeah, but it's satisfying when it does work!! honestly I think Huge Catch is what saved my build in the end heheh
lament zodiac
this is now my best time for some reason
digital ocean
Turns out the 4th Fist aspect can do some halfdecent DPS. Casually dealt 400-1.2k dmg every second or so by just mashing https://i.imgur.com/bRigkeU.jpeg
finite cove
Screenshot messed up on victory, but here's my first sub-18 minute run, zero DD used. Oh my is Chiron w/ Zeus special insane, and man do I love Poesidon call
meager rune
does each arrow proc zeus special?
finite cove
yeah
meager rune
o.0 awesome
slate geyser
actually they don't. thunder flourish has an internal cooldown of 0.2s for bolts to proc
so not every arrow will proc its own bolt from a chiron volley
finite cove
Ahh, well, it certainly seems to proc at least a few times on it. Also had the +3 arrows, and each successive arrow does +3 damage hammer bonuses
slate geyser
yeah, it's not terrible or anything
just not as amazing as one might initially hope
finite cove
It certainly works quite well, also had the sometimes lightning procs twice upgrade
jagged ferry
not a huge fan of the fists but i got this run where i just punched things very very hard
slate geyser
yeah, double strike is a great zeus T2 for zeus special chiron
gusty juniper
finally did heat 32. a bit of rng on my side as well
karmic dragon
This build literally makes me orgasm. All i need to do is just hold my special button
finite cove
Very nice
noble socket
first time with the final extreme boss... this was a stacked run and i still almost ate it lol

needless to say this is a little strong
stone iris
Clear number two!
I probably posted this here earlier but honestly I still feel the need to gloat
whole sapphire
there was a lot of arrows on the screen o.o
near lantern
No screenshot of this run (first time I missed a clear screenshot, excitement over getting the 8th clear since v1 and the first part of the ending got the better of me) but it was my first run with Chiron bow, pretty low level, only a few arrows in the special, but I got lucky with boons, poseidon dash and special, zeus attack, the z/p duo, and razor shoals so I was beating everyone with just dashes almost the whole time.
tribal agate
0 points in Gods' Legacy btw

Also had the damage+crit on basic attack

Ah, dash only. The Sonic the Hedgehog build.

My first sub 20 run. I keep forgot I unlocked the companion thingy so I didn't use it like a dumb.

not the craziest win but i thought the kit was pretty cool
broken hill
thank you, Artemis; crit for daysssss
ruby hinge
forgot to take a screenshot, but i just beat the game with EM4 for the first time and with 6 hp left, feels amazing
weary oriole
my screenshot is on my switch and i dont feel like trasfering it to my pc, but i just got my first win with doom shield and only used one death's defiance to do it. although i did get sloppy in the end and almost used a second

im just gonna call this a win already and im only at the second boss

I dont know if this counts as a victory (it does to me) but I just did the entirety of tartarus not taking any damage outside of chaos ;o;

thats awesome!! keep it up!!

My proudest run. Accidentally doubled up on Tight Deadline with a very slow weapon. Cost me all my lives but I got through it.
lucid plover
Dash only, 14 heat, bad luck for legendaries

Who would have thought that dash can be so good.
I didn't even expect that I beat 3rd boss 
sonic lagoon
I didn't wanna fight anyways...
Alright apparently he just knew that my PC was gonna BSOD
and my progress didnt save
sonic lagoon
still have the save, just set back a run
lucid plover
@formal kernel Hyper Sprint with Rush Delivery sounds like a very good combo for that build
formal kernel
I wanted extra dash, but that bonus 75% was even better 
lucid plover
With 3rd Hermes boon there's a chance to have them all

First 32 Heat Run! Was going in order with all weapons but decided to skip a few heat for the bow.
scarlet vault
I think I've acquired nearly every Blade Rift-related Boon at once
My Blade Rifts are bigger, pull foes in, grow in power as they deal damage, and home in on the nearest enemy
I didn't even have to attack to take out the final boss. Just ran in circles and shot a cast now and then
honest maple
Hey question for yall, do any of you have a save with the main story being finished? if so @ me
I mean you just finished the main story and thats all

that was a unholy amount of damage daaaayum

Oh man, that's a x2 from dual, plus at least +300% from the two mods there. Congrats!

||I got killed by a goat?!??||
round fable
Game crashed before I could finish but I wound up with a dumb fun build. Had Divine Dash and Brilliant Riposte with lots of pom upgrades, plus Extending Jab and Flurry Jab. Tartarus was light on boons so I just doubled down on the dash. Less important but also fun were Hermes Flurry Cast and ||Demeter Ravenous Will. I had Shattered Shackle since I was doing raw damage but I took it off before boss hoping for boons.||
formal kernel
Great special run 
swift bear
my fastest run so far

How does the aspect work with the crystal beam tho
acoustic shadow
3rd win. 19th attempt. I punched him in the face. Really really hard. Side effects included a lot of electricity.
minor ether
Took 4 tries but I got my 32 heat run. Got my butt handed to me by the heroes in run 1, and died against dad due to lack of damage and Death Defiances in runs 3 and 4. But after tweaking my Pact to give back Privileged Status, I was able to make it through on the 4th go round.
upper prism
Just sorta yolo tried 32 heat while drunk instead of inching up the heat one at a time. Didn't break my 25 streak. Exciting!

Incredibly free run. The intend was just to try out the new keepsake, but I ended up creating a monster of a build.
buoyant crown
@grizzled ermine how did you end run so fast?) I spend x2 time
grizzled ermine
tight deadline is a hell of a motivator
even with just 2 levels, the rest of the heat made it actually kind of tight
but congrats my dude, now I just need to actually get 20 heat with the other weapons
buoyant crown
Thanks, GLHF 
ripe gulch
weird run but it worked, i had athena attack so the charge usually deflected something and triggered reversal on the 5 cast burst
thick iris
Yay 
Got out finally.
tough mirage
the dream
dapper tangle
tankier than the shield
tough mirage
i feel like arthur is such a bad combination with cursed slash, because it's all about slow, powerful hits
but i suppose the extra health helps
dapper tangle
i also thought the same thing, but turned out great with damage reduction, dodge and tactical dashes. Usually ended up healing more than i took damage even if i wasn't really paying attention to dodge enemies (and died to poison once because of that)
tough mirage
god yeah, poison is the worst
dapper tangle
also i didn't really pay attention but does it heal for each enemy hit? large slash might actually work good with that.
tough mirage
oh, that's a good point. if so, that actually works rather well with arthur
frozen saddle
God, I love Winter Harvest. And Cluster Bomb. But what I'm really bragging about here is having Robbed Thanatos. >:3 Only the second time I've managed that, and the first time I think I got Fisher King as a victory title instead, booooo.

I did over 6k to redacted in 1 shot with this XD

I can't imagine intentionally getting a power shot with Rama 
I'm impressed that you ever had time for that

@silver hinge wym? its not THAT slow off of a dash attack. i mean its comparatively slow, but the dash makes it usable

not posting this to brag, but to warn people
this build sucks
I thought it might be great, but it is actually Bad
balmy condor
i had the chaos charge of death defiance, 280 health and still ended with no charges 
but yeah, my theory was that you could use achilles spear damage boost + artemis cast for sick damage and yes, when it CRIT it was amazing, very big
but the casting itself was real slow even with hermes rapid fire thingy, and the bloodstones took too long to recover
it would have helped if i had a dash boon but i got nothin~
it kept trying to give me Hunter Strike

first TD3 win

i mean it does increase the bull rush damage from 20-40 to 80

Sure, though the dash itself was pretty useful several times. But still a fairly clean win all around so ill take it

I wanted to see if there was any dialogue for beating Hades without boons because he complains a lot on how I need help to do anything. No new dialogue but I got this cool title named Boon Purger
Edit: Seems if you just purge boons a lot you get this title so that's sad. Oh well
long kraken
I know its just 10 heat but this was my build for beating ||EM hades|| for the first time
halcyon lynx
Not only did i have the sword upgrade that gives you 5% of your coin as attack (with multiple gold urns in like almost every room) I also had the upgrade that you can hold x to constant attack, as well as at least 4 (i lost count lol) chaos boons that increase my attack by like 40%, I wiped all 3 hades phases in less than 60 seconds. I wish i screenshotted that
dreamy heart
How much money? 
halcyon lynx
Over 10k I believe
halcyon lynx
I was dealing over 1k damage a hit with that sword. I just ran into rooms holding x and dashing it was insane

went in with 0 DDs and 60 hp
not that hestia and acorn arent stupid
but Im still mildly proud
tough mirage
how could you not screenshot that, seb? damn
halcyon lynx
i didn't even think about it man, I got out of the run, looked at discord and thought, wow i just messed up
strong torrent
yea dude, I did a decent job spacing but one-shotting the skulls helped a lot
those are usually what get me
tough mirage
oh yes
i don't think i've ever played with hestia in ~70 clears (100 runs); should give it a go sometime
sonic lagoon
Why have one powerful build when you can have two?
dreamy heart
That's fair

terrible luck with boons but i did it. first time using exagryph 4 too

Finally got him again, this time didn't use a single death defiance against him so, getting better at least.
halcyon lynx
Welcome to my no healing run, featuring Huge Catch. Yeah this screenshot sucks, I used paint, and i have 3 monitors, so eat it.
Now you may be wondering, "How did you win a no healing run with so little hp and only dying twice?" Well now that's where you're wrong, I died 5 times. But Pat and that extra DD I bought helped. Also, Stygian life steal dude, OP.
digital ocean
room 1 epic heartbreak flourish + zagreus spear + 50% special dmg from chaos + hammer giving special 50% dmg/crit on recovery & 5x poms on special all in tartarus, felt pretty good.
Then the Styx shop contained epic second wind, Smoldering Air, Curse of Longing, and the rest was history

@waxen sluice Thats allota effort

@waxen sluice holy what the f 63 heat is this the max?
@minor lagoon Yep, max with everything. provided your heading to the exits on time, and not f'n about
minor lagoon
but wait why did u hide ur talent tree
waxen sluice
Dunno, Think that was part of the Heat level
minor lagoon
ohh makes sense
slate geyser
max RI disables the mirror, but the run isn't legit anyway
minor lagoon
why
balmy badge
slate geyser
many red flags. cropped out bottom portion, only 18 clears with unheard of heat levels for all weapons. the dude was just asking in the discord the other day how to get thanatos because he had never seen him show up in a run before
not even being sure why their mirror was disabled, etc.,
frail oyster
it's been edited for sure
waxen sluice
Because i had the mirrior disabled as per the heat level requirements
minor lagoon
hmm another thing thats kinda sus is the fact that his trinket is only level 2
balmy badge
U think that this is God Mode thing?
minor lagoon
but he might have been lucky who knows
slate geyser
level two redacted keepsake is far from anything useful to have on a max heat attempt
slate geyser
why not a video?
waxen sluice
or vid, whatever i guess
slate geyser
yep
balmy badge
@strong torrent Nice work 
slate geyser
it's also pretty much impossible to acquire the amount of nectar needed to unlock the ui style they have with 18 runs, just as a cherry on top
balmy badge
100 is not that much
slate geyser
it's more than 100, though
and getting max heat on sword for your third run with it ever
i'm tired of listing off every red flag for now, but to me it's incredibly obvious what's going on
balmy badge
I'm sorry if i was annoying 
slate geyser
aw, no you're good
balmy badge
For me as casual player wasnt that clear enough to understand 
slate geyser
that's understandable!

Gz:D even with heat on

it was just the traps one
didnt get hit by a trap the whole game so it didnt really affect the run much

But a really really cool one

EM1 imo is the single most fun heat in the game

But massive spin and quick spin helped a lot

don't you feel like investing some blood in that bad boy now 
ancient shore
FINALLY
i wanna thank death defiance and myself for growing significantly more patient DAMN was this a satisfying victory
idle escarp
Gz:D the first win is always great
molten lantern
slow and steady
slim trout
@reef minnow sheesh that’s a pretty fast time
reef minnow
Huh is it a fast time???
and done my first run with round 20 ish runs give or take 3

Most first win runs take 30 mins+

Yep

still the weapon i'm comfiest with by far

and got my first max weapon aka bow
pearl smelt
Dashing strike spam build on the fist
cerulean mauve
lvl 9 Heroic Drunken Strike with all 3 Hangover Duo Boons
cobalt compass
those touches of styx were more clutch than the actual build lol. Also Asphodel is literally the bane of my existence.
and hades is somehow the easiest part of the run with no EM4 xd
main crest
first run testing out sword 4 and it went really, really well
tawdry frigate
@cobalt compass why does your victory screen look like that? I love it
molten lantern
its a thing you can buy from the contractor after a while
there are a few different styles
tawdry frigate
Ahhh that’s awesome
molten lantern
they all look really cool
tawdry frigate
I’ve seen people with way more clears that don’t have a fancy one, so that’s cool.
molten lantern
I'm pretty sure its story locked and those clears were most likely from Early Access days
also you can select default again
tawdry frigate
Ahhh I forgot about early access saves. Figured most people would start over for 1.0. Makes sense!
cobalt compass
yep I've been playing since sometime in december... haven't always been good at it though :)
lunar peak
After exactly 30 attempts, I finally faced Hades for the first time, and won! I definitely sweat when I discovered he had a second phase, but fortunately I had an extra "phase" too.
I feel like I now understand this game both more and less than I did before.
They better not nerf the build I found!! 🙃
grand portal
Hooray I finally beat a run with stubborn defiance runs as fast as I can to change it back to death defiance now I’ll never have to do it again
zenith kite
first time using aspect of guan yu, it's pretty fun but I'm not sure if I like it more than the achilles aspect
lunar peak
-70% is rough. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to try it before maxing it out, haha. kudos to you!
scarlet quest
@grave ravine I believe you wanted to know how it went, so here it is! Also of note are Flourish (+special damage) and Ambush (+backstab damage) boons from Chaos. Might've been my fastest run to boot, if I didn't have EM up (though I definitely could've shaved off a bit of time).
slate geyser
and the swift flourish 😩 🙌
iron thistle
Tried out a shackle build just there, it was fun!
Managed to get the keepsake to level 3 at Styx, I also bought the yolo daedalus anvil which worked out nicely

Take that Extremer Measure Hades!

that shackle run, I've not attempted one yet but that's awesome

@torn oxide @heady portal quick attempt (on alt file to not mess my streak on main) of the hypothetical "hitless" run, tartarus def is doable
gy might be harder than cursed slash tbh kuz landing regular attacks with sword is much easier than spin
also in this hypothetical is acorn/collar cheating 👀
humble relic
GY spin is a trap

This might be the most bonkers build I've ever been lucky enough to pull off

Curse of drowning with lv6 heroic flood shot, achilles spear boost and 6 casts

Go home, Hades. You're drunk.

@glacial dome that bouldy boon!! amazing
reef minnow
I dont even know how to get those summons
stray wraith
I absolutely cheesed Minotaur and theseus extremely hard lol
reef minnow
Whats your time storrrm
stray wraith
not sure but ive had like 15 runs or so, found a zeus upgrade which makes my infernal soul do 70 base lightning damage while its on the floor in a pretty large area. I just kept running around the arena while the 4 shards i had destroyed them both lol
reef minnow
Lol had a run like that
stray wraith
ive yet to get to hades though, my first time reaching cerb was with the shield and i had like 50hp by then lol
stray wraith
im thinking this current run i should be able to im full hp with 2 defiance atm
woeful raft
How high heat are people up to? I've been playing non-stop since switch launch and I'm up to about 14 heat with all weapons on hell mode. This game is amazing.
stray wraith
none yet haha
minor atlas
I’m up to 17 Heat but I haven’t gotten to play as much as I’d hoped since I reached it. Also that ||Extrene Measures 4|| I just unlocked has been a hell of a wall.
rugged horizon
So, there is absolutely nothing special about this run, the real brag is about the fact that I streamed it to three of my friends on Discord and not one but two of them ended up buying the game within one hour.
rugged horizon
I mean they aren't here, they just started, but when they get their first escape through, I'll tell them to post here.
reef minnow
Lol oof
rugged horizon
thats the hardest earnes 8 heat ever.

finally cleared with all six weapons!!

GGS
pearl smelt
I only died once with excalibur but it really slow in room clear Ithink. Bosses are good but still slower than my fist run at11 heat
blissful atlas
I'm weird and stubborn and cranked forced overtime to max very early on to get accustomed to the game at the fastest setting, first EM4 while refusing to back off on that was a wild ride (hope videos are okay)
pearl smelt
what is forced overtime
blissful atlas
enemy speed increase per rank
pearl smelt
I think it is one of the easier path
the extreme measure, speed up and time limit are like freebies
the final time limit is very tight though ....
blissful atlas
you think making all the enemies attacks faster is on the easier side of the pacts?
i'm not gonna argue this here but that's a big doubt from me
pearl smelt
I use all speed up in most my run and barely notice different
at least it is how I see it
sly coral
it's one of those that's initially hard but if you get used to it it just becomes normal and not that punishing anymore
finally got battie and hit sub-13. shaved 4 minutes in a day and feeling pretty good
tidal anchor
this run was insanely easy 😄
i never try for speed, but this was just perfect boons
haughty tapir
I don't usually play hexagrif , but honestly this combo was so much fun I just dashed constantly around Hades deflecting everything and spamming 9 dash-strikes per second like an angry wast on Monster Energy
reef minnow
10 escaped and mlem
stuck delta
The luckiest run I had yet

doofy build that resulted in Hades doing like 5 damage a swing on me lol

Very good Rama butterfly run.
And no-hitting ||the first phase of EM4 fight is a huge achievement in an itself||

And no-hitting ||the first phase of EM4 fight is a huge achievement in an itself||
@glad drift wait hold on. 5 crystals stuck in [REDACTED] and 3 charges up? how did that happen
glad drift
Stygian Soul (mirror upgrade, alternative to Infernal Soul). You get one cast, but it recharges every 3 seconds. I got 2 extra casts from Chaos.
onyx marten
oh, so that's what happens on multiple charges. baller
pine prawn
I think that's the craziest run, I've ever had
junior bobcat
swift strike 40% with big choppy gahdamn
lament zodiac
I got chop from anvil right before hades
so sadness I didn't get to use it the entire run
I was critting hades for 1k chop tho
I had no defiances left after the labyrinth
glossy sandal
My first win on my second save file. Absolute mad damage
I just stood right up to Hades and kept spamming charged specials
cloud pumice
Still a low-heat scrub but this was a fun run, I just went in and bashed heads. Not pictured, Dio's aid and pre-filled gauge
digital ocean
lots of attack speed with zag aspect + cursed slash for healing
and nonstop privileged status/dio call = big dps
shut flicker
1st gun finish
runic granite
first attempt on 1.0, and first completion! started out pretty rough (died to Tisiphone) but ended up getting a pretty good setup with chain lighting on attack+cast and jolting. Later got fast cast ejection and lightning rod which was uh, somewhat cheesy, and got damage on cast ejection + lightning on close calls right before Hades. Definitely a lucky run but hey, first clear
funny lightning rod final boss kill || https://streamable.com/uizmsy ||
cloud pumice
Worst run luck-wise by far, all the useful boons normal and even the 500 coin hermes boon only had one epic option
lavish kite
3rd win today, could definitely feel the increase in difficulty
+20% dmg is not the one

yeah, when hades hit phase 2 i popped a greater call and did nearly half his hp lmao

And all it took was chucking the spear over and over. XD

First dio boon was trippy shot, first demeter boon was call
5 dio boons and 4 demeter boons total haha
I should get the duo/legendary chance mirror talent
And yeah it still nuked redacted at least
Just want to try ice wine since people seem to like it and it's still on my fated list
But I keep not getting it sadly
analog canyon
if you ice wine some day, be sure to combine it with scintillating feast
iron thistle
I'll try!
Where do people tend to put the demeter and zeus boons for that kinda build?
analog canyon
i put dem on attack and zeus on anywhere else, most useful would be call
proper barn
A self-imposed challenge using only Dionysus' blessings as core boons after a friend said he didn't like his boons 
I like to call it "Don't turn your back on a bro"

slim trout
All hail double edge nemesis
My fastest clear yet
Redacted only took like 120 hp away from me
@slate geyser does double edge make it so that you do two 120% strikes?
So basically u go from 100% damage in one dash strike to 240%?
That’s an insane increase
slate geyser
basically, yeah
slim trout
God damn that’s a lot
slate geyser
you should try it with hunter dash too sometime, it's pretty evil
slim trout
I’m loving the sword
Sword is my first heroic aspect, I never expected that to happen lol

Double edge nemesis is crazy, if you build into dash attack properly everything melts so easily

(sorry for the double monitor screenshot)
(Actually, I'm not, it's a good wallpaper to be posting on this server)
Turns out zagreus sword + flurry slash + piercing wave + swift strike + support fire is really good.
quaint storm
lmao, support fire is quite good for anything that is fast yeah 
granite venture
Yeah. I only got it right before the boss, and only common, but still.
