#

for high heat, I find that the gun and the bow are very easy to win

#

If you use the hidden aspects, it's even easier

Well this was mildly broken

I had all defiances going into Hades but I just face tanked him because I wasn't going to lose

first winn

#

i def couldve done better against Hades though

#

i had all death defiances including skelly's tooth + nearly full health but i still took too many hits
crit damage from special + thrust was basically guaranteed which let me do really well

#

any tips for future runs with other weapons?

@glacial dome what was your Chaos legendary boon?

glad drift
#

Chaos' legendary is Defiance (gives +1 use of death defiance)

oak smelt
#

that's quite rare

#

I've gotten only 1 so far

left wren
#

Well yeah, is legendary

oak smelt
#

maybe I should go to Chaos more

left wren
#

You should go to chaos every time

oak smelt
#

should I go to Chaos while in Elysium?

tough mirage
#

i never get chaos as much as i'd like

oak smelt
#

what if I face Theseus after I got the curse?

tough mirage
#

you can check your current chamber number when pressing b; theseus is 36 (unless something unusual happened to offset it, like grabbing a chaos boon in the last chamber before the empty chamber/shop before a boss)

oak smelt
#

I think Chaos boon are the most powerful

#

I lost some runs due to his/her boons at first

#

but now I have the skill

#

there is 1 boon that getting +17% rare boon that requires +300 something% damage from traps

#

I don't like it

left wren
#

Look at the chamber numbers try not to get a curse as bad if its going to last until champions

#

Just dont step on traps bouldy

#

Jk

foggy latch
#

I may or may not have lost a run or two due to me not paying attention to chamber and going chaos, and then doing something dumb like picking a boon that causes me to take damage when I attack when it's my best skill for damage. But now that I'm better, I almost always choose chaos if available

left wren
#

Yeha you need to keep track on what chamber you are at all times

oak smelt
#

I fear Hades' traps (even without Chaos' curse)

#

hard to avoid

left wren
#

That curse is definitely not going to last until hades

oak smelt
#

almost win

left wren
#

Theres no chaos on styx

foggy latch
#

i might turn chaos down if a hammer chamber or a double god boon chamber is against it, but otherwise its always chaos

oak smelt
#

I love Daedalus hammer, always

left wren
#

A chaos is worth more than a double, and a hammer will spawn later regardless, so you can easily ignore it

oak smelt
#

awesome, spectacular with the gun

#

thx

#

I don't know that

left wren
#

Youre almost always guaranteed 2 hammers per run

foggy latch
#

yeah you can generally skip hammers, and it will show up later. I feel like most of the time your hammer is up against something else like a Pom though and it makes the choice easy, with chaos being the only choice likely better

left wren
#

If you would lose the hammer ok, but since it will most likely spawn again, I dont see why not go to chaos

@short reef "18:010.10"?

#

Demeter's legendary might be the best.

native path
#

Demeter's legendary is pretty OK, but all and all it still only corresponds to a 10% damage increase if you wanna think of it numerically sorta. Honestly, the most game changing legendary I've had is actually Hermes. The one where he insta recharges your casts.

#

I was slinging them like mad, didn't have to worry about ever picking them up

silk shard
#

It's not a 10% damage increase. You're reading it wrong.

#

What it does is (effectively) lower the max HP of all enemies, including bosses, by 10%.

native path
#

Oh I know that, I was just doing some somewhat dubious math

#

I know that doesn't exactly correspond 1:1, but that's how I think of it

silk shard
#

Think of it this way: If there was a boon that said "Your first attack does 10% of a foe's max HP," it would be one of the best boons in the game.

#

Even if it would slow you down against normal enemies, it would be amazing against bosses, especially Hades.

#

And Demeter's boon is much better than that, because it just automatically kills foes when they're at low HP.

native path
#

Fair point. By no means do I think it's a bad legendary, I just think there are more interesting ones.

silk shard
#

But it has a special animation and voice lines when it activates against bosses!

native path
#

Hmm, that is a compelling point

#

Oh, no, I was using the Zagreus aspect.

#

My basic theory of trying 32-heat was to lean into damage reduction, and dodge chance plays into that. So even the combo of Weak on attack the Sturdy from the Colossus Knuckle puts your overall damage reduction at 51%. So 15% dodge chance on top of that is pretty good.

#

Then in this run, I happed to get the Aprho/Ares Duo as well as the bonus damage after using Call, so I was hitting pretty hard as well.

Got a new fastest time with Chiron bow with this Ares based Special build. Sadly Ares did the thing he usually likes to do with me (not sure if he's like this for everyone) where he shows up at the start of the run and then never appears again until Elysium, Styx. I got 3 Ares boons the whole run lmao. Thankfully managed to roll exactly the boon i wanted, Dire Misfortune. Only Boon that could have made this stronger was Impending Doom.

is dire misfortune pommable? i wonder if that would have been more effective

New overall PB and Heat progression on Spear. Wasn't going for strictly speed (taking every shop, etc) but was cruising. Zeus on Attack, plus those two Dae-Hammer boons were disgusting. The entire screen would just blow up. So much fun, ha.

@oak gorge cursed slash is how I got my first win. But I paired it with the rapid slash one where you just hold attack down

you have to be using your dashes perfectly most of the time between attack combos, and know when to chill a bit rather than go ham

Finally managed to get a sub 12 minute run! I had an Eris boosted rocket shotgun that tore up every enemy in Elysium/Styx in one or 2 shots, and managed to beat Hades in under a minute.

aw, that would be wild

i know that haelian at least goes for room rerolls on his mirror setup, but imo the boon rerolls can get you poms so much earlier

i also got offered 3 poms in the styx shop! for a total of 8 levels

tough mirage
#

that's awesome

#

i can appreciate both fated authority & fated persuasion tbh, though persuasion feels like i'm more in control for some reason

#

i also think it would make sense to regain 2 stacks of FA with keys, since the mirror gives you twice as many stacks of it to start out with

graceful hatch
whole crag
#

i can appreciate both fated authority & fated persuasion tbh, though persuasion feels like i'm more in control for some reason
@tough mirage i think for me the main thing that makes it feel that way is because you get few enough boons that you're not realistically gonna find all the boons you want from a single god

#

so especially when trying to satisfy certain requirements or hunting for duos, FP is critical

tough mirage
#

yeah

whole crag
#

plus i'm aiming to eventually go for 32 heat, and at that point I'll need FP in case the pool of purging wants 3 boons i need to keep

tough mirage
#

oof yeah, for sure

#

i also think FA should not be able to repeat previously-rerolled rewards, that just feels so dumb

whole crag
#

yeah, but it seems a bit harder to implement, since they'd have to keep track of what you've already seen and eventually make it unrerollable

#

i can see the justification for why it doesn't give you 2 per key, because subsequent rolls don't cost more

#

but it's still a bit wonky/feels bad for sure

tough mirage
#

to be clear, i'm talking within the context of a single exit

gold > pom > gold should not be possible

It takes quite a few boons but you're doing like... 600-700/3s

@languid locust so i got the aspect and these are my first boons
@cinder prism you can grab a flourish boon if you want, Eris is really versatile, you can have a attack build ( Best hammers include : Flurry Fire, Delta, Piercing & Seeking fire, concentrated can be nice but won't add much if you play without a %dmg boon, also maybe a controversial opinion but I find Spread fire clunky without bonus ammo ) or flourish build ( hammers : Triple bomb, cluster and rockets are the kings of flourish hammers, tho targeting system is a nice option as well, Hazard bomb is terrible with Eris aspect, pretty self explanatory )

#

My fav boon : Zeus on attack, there is just no contest, it beats every other option clean. Artemis is fun, because more instance of damage means more chances at crits. %dmg boons ( Aphro, Athena, Demeter etc.. are really good with spread fire ) for the flourish, well, everything works so pick something according to the duo you are aiming for.

#

You can even do a cast build with Eris

cinder prism
#

Yeah eris is probably my fav now @languid locust it feels so good when you have decent boons

i just opted with a flourish build which was fun

I had Curse of Longing in Tartarus, but didn't get Dire Misfortune until Styx. I got lucky when Eurydice upgraded Curse of Pain to heroic, but wasn't able to get poms to hit it because I'd spent too many rerolls earlier. Still, L5 epic Impending Doom, Unhealthy Fixation, and both Concentrated and Relentless Volley all made the final fight very easy.

hardy halo
#

Let me guess, it gets a massive doom stack on hades and then it just keeps repeating the damage while you stack it higher and higher.

Yes, the doom stacks were huge. Would have been bigger if I'd gotten more poms on Curse of Pain, or if Dire Misfortune was better than common. But really, I can't complain about a run like this.

It's actually pretty easy to force duos and legendaries. The mirror helps a lot, as does knowing the prereqs.

It's definitely easier to force a build in Hades than in any roguelite I've played.

The god keepsakes help a lot as well.

I don't really mind, I'm like 105 runs in now, I don't really need much of anything anymore, I can max a few more weapons but I have most of the aspects I want maxed already where I want them, don't need nectar or ambrosia

Have like, maybe 2 more fated I could pick up with the mirror, or I could refund with a key and have them

proven basalt

ok nice

you donโ€™t lose bounties by skipping to higher heats anyway

That too

proven basalt

so u can do them later and get the reward?

yeah

basically you get a bounty if you do whatever heat youโ€™re up to or more

so if you havenโ€™t done the 18 heat bounty and you do 32, you get the rewards for 18

#

and then you can do 19 as normal, or skip to 40 and still get the rewards

ok. so im at lets say 15. when i do 20, i get the reward for 15. next time i do 20 again, do i get for 16 then?

more health won't necessarily make it more difficult though, just more time consuming

add more attack speed and damage, and sacrifice your boons if you're after challenging

I got about 40 maybe and I get you. I always end up on Hades with 3 defiances and full hp ๐Ÿ˜„

#

trap damage is actually pretty challenging, you get a better idea for how many traps there really are

#

and magma is way more punishing

real kettle
#

magma is yikes - I a lways get a few ticks of it every time

#

only on Hydra really - the rest is manageable

lunar peak
#

the final boss, those jars apparently are traps

#

and they hurt with the extra damage

real kettle
#

Ah yeah they are

#

They do 30 dmg passively I think

#

so yeah 150 dmg with the mod

lunar peak
#

big oofs

#

That's why i've heard the good players always aim for Sure footing if they can

#

On high heat runs

lunar peak
#

that's not a bad idea, epic sure footing is pimp

#

1 small mistake and u gone ๐Ÿ˜„

lunar peak
#

90% I think

Yep

fair gate

#

@fair gate you fooled me this almost looks like a beowulf build

fair gate
#

lol

#

yeah its the infamous point blank + twin shot beo build

#

very powerful

simple zenith
#

lol i meant more the level 4!? trippy shot and scintillating feast

fair gate
#

oh yeah that happened by accident lol

simple zenith
#

"accident"

fair gate
#

then all my poms kept offering to upgrade it instead of my attack

simple zenith
#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ why not

fair gate
#

wasn't the worst thing that could have happened ig lol

languid locust

oak smelt
#

what aspect?

fair gate
#

that was hera, hence the cast focus

real kettle
#

H

#

How exactly does hera work? Does the whole animation happen from the enemy's location?

fair gate
#

it happen at the place your arrow hits, so basically yeah

real kettle
#

Ok that's cool! I'm most used to Chiron and still haven't upgraded the hidden one to high enough lvl to try. How does it compare in terms of strength to Chiron?

fair gate
#

its probably not quite as powerful as chiron, but it can certainly be pretty effective

#

i also find chiron a bit easier to play, since you have to aim less lol

real kettle
#

Yeah imo Chiron is the easiest in the game to get high heat ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Just go Heart rend and it's gg ๐Ÿ˜„

fair gate
#

its pretty solid yeah

oak smelt
#

So Hera uses cast, just like Beowulf?

fair gate
#

similar to beowulf yeah
