She's cool and awesome and always welcome in any build

first heat 32 clear... though I must admit giving up on the bow to do it with the rail. Makes it much easier
next time I'll do it with my main weapon π

First escape

i did iiiit
ended up with a lot of just completely random synergies
not a busted build by any means but everything that i took ended up being relevant in the final boss

The severe lack of Merciful End on that build angers me

I enjoy ap2, i like random
fair gate
thereβs literally one person with that opinion, and itβs this guy lol
ngl i kinda respect it
left wren
random is the one thing that keeps roguelikes as my number 1 genre
i feel like if i played without ap, id do the same builds over and over cause is op
and i wouldve quit hades months ago
fair gate
yeah i can understand that
i kinda do play the same builds over and over, itβs only really the number of weapon aspects that keeps me interested
left wren
does it screw me sometimes? no, most of the time as a matter of fact xD
but is random, i cant get mad at that
that level 4 black metal for example xD
btw nice job misty!

fist 40 was way easier than sword, following the age old advice of "just don't get hit lul"
huh I just noticed my 40 clear was my fastest clear time on fist, neat
limpid bridge
Im not the best at the game but I decided to do a no boons run for fun and I ended up doing it with Arthur (again, for fun) and I somehow got shadow slash AND hoarding slash. The only reason this worked was because I was testing golden touch and forgot to change it so I'd say I got super lucky

Managed to get everything I wanted for this Arthur build and despite 3-sack and not really running for speed (taking trials and one erebus gate) got a new PB
chonky
strong vector
glacial acorn
Great run, really:
Among other things, I lucked out with Rare Crop early on when it picked the two boons I was hoping it'd pick
Also got great stuff from the hammers too
Arthur might also be my favorite sword aspect now I think
brave fulcrum
First time and first try 32 heat run
pastel marten
o nice hammers
brave fulcrum
yep
mighty marlin
I think i finally got the βrealβ ending!
Got credits and everything
And dang thats a pretty fancy painting
Are there multiple different paintings? Cuz it matches the weapon I beat the game with on that run
ruby mist
No, that's Hades' spear, not yours
steady zodiac
I love Zeus Shield Special so much... didn't even get a very impressive boon run, still took down Extreme Measures 4 on my second try.
uneven flare
First 8 heat clear with sword 
I got the Hammer that turns your special into a big jump and immediately hated it, but a few screens later I realized itβs a crazy good repositioning tool
glacial acorn
I tried doing a Hestia run for once and ended up getting the rocket shotgun:
TBH I'm happy it turned out that way because after this, I'm gonna go back to having different rail aspects
At least those ones don't require me to rebind controls just to play it somewhat comfortably
It balances out I think
lunar peak
first 8 heat, poseidon's always fun, same with dio and aphro
granite escarp
Just had a very bizarre build with Exagryph that was actually fun and extremely powerful.
I'll post a screenshot later, I don't know why I posted in here without extracting the screenshot from my switch first I just wanted to let you know it was exciting.
Normally I hate the rail.
acoustic shadow
My 50th win on a 30 streak!
I like to call this...my nice run....because this was also attempt #69. :3
charred thistle
i know its not much but i near afk killed hades and theseus
i had that my cast causes lightning
had 4 casts
= 280 damage ever second
+30% chance to strike twice
= 300-350 dmg per sec
- my festive fog = lightning
- i had 50% dodge chance
in total
so i just stood there
threw my casts
the lighting automatically killed every boss
desert trench

Daedalus carried this.
steady zodiac
Didn't expect this to be as good as it was... Igneous Eden triple bomb meant everything had Doom on it all the time, and my attack, dash, greater call, and curse all deflected to keep triggering it early.
vapid steppe
I go all the money in this one.
Also had my main damage be big crits with the shield shot. Even managed to get some Privilaged Status in there at the end.
steady zodiac
Big loss on not having the 15% per level money talent for what I assume would have been a few thousand gold :p
vapid steppe
oh sweet
steady zodiac
Had the 5% of gold in damage sword boon
Sadly, still lost that run - losing two deaths to third boss was too much
FINALLY
Only took 101 runs
glad horizon
ayy I got it today too
on my 117th run
also proud of this build, I wanted a Poseidon-Zeus duo and wanted to bank on getting jolted and rupture so I could have 2 effects applied on enemies at all times, it worked out in my favor
vapid steppe
That looks mean.
Also - I guess that's a victory - beat Tanathos quite a bit:
Also 400+ coin in tartarus for some reason. I don't even have any boons for it.
oh lol
@steady zodiac @glad horizon I guess you guys talking about it improved my chances. 
glad horizon
well you got that one out of the way at least, it was a pain to get for me
vapid steppe
I read some hermes ones are real tricky too
glad horizon
I read some hermes ones are real tricky too
his legendaries can be tricky to get but I got lucky with them thankfully

oh lol, just got Rush Delivery from hermes. This run feels so lucky I'm expecting to have it ended by the hydra somehow.

Phew
I didn't think you could just dodge-tank the final boss and out heal him
apparently you can
did the entire fight with no death defiance left, stayed basically neutral on health

What would y'all consider a "fast clear" time?

I made basically a bow but with spear build
the thing that made me think it was the one
was a chaos +62 hp in the first room

One thing is that I switched to dark regeneration for Guan Yu and like that better, I don't normally use dark regeneration
brave fulcrum

This was a super fun run I had recently.

This Build for the Zagreus Twin Fists is OP... Just now beat Hades with it.
The Athena Artemis Duo Boon, Deadly Reversal, is probably even stronger than Merciful End in my opinion!

Yay

or was the average 50h?
latent sphinx
i dont know
plush thunder
Congrats @latent sphinx ! My first victory was after about 65 attempts
slow stream
honestly learning this whole game gives you the feeling you ought to have done better
cleared it faster
then you realise people have widely varying number of attempts to clear
and you're just in the middle of the pack
plush thunder
It's awesome how you can just play it again & again & again & again and never get bored, or even not being that angry for not clearing. Just 100% fun

twin yarrow
hadn't dropped a revive, chaos shield is just so safe
brave fulcrum
tbh, I very much prefer Zeus aspect
cause I can hit them whilst having my beyblade
twin yarrow
nice, yeah i haven't messed with zeus aspect too much, this build essentially you just bull rush through the room apply weak, special, rinse repeat and everything just melts
i need to try some other aspects but just having fun with chaos atm
distant valve
Second Hades kill ever, didn't get Artemis but Thunder Flourish was damn helpful
steady zodiac
I think this is the most Zeus I've ever been, and boy was it glorious!
steady zodiac
As you can see, finished the final fight... without taking damage, because I was killing him so fast that the form changes kept interrupting his attacks
Why defend when you can just pour out moar dakka

More dakka is always welcome

This was my closest EM4 win yet, I was trying so hard to get the Fully Loaded Legendary from Artemis but the game decided otherwise. 1/2
Luckily it still gave me Mirage Shot, Heart Rend, Deadly Reversal, and Bad News. The Crits didn't happen often, but when they did, hoooooo boy did they slap hard!

answer: yes... barely
Finished every boss with 20-40 seconds left
brave fulcrum
ah yes
super soaker build
though if I were you, I'd probably put less points on jury summons and tight deadline, and put more on extreme measures and underworld customs
but stil
gj
steady zodiac
Yeah, underworld customs probably safer - I basically wanted my boss fights to be as easy as possible, since I had peeked ahead and knew I'd start the run with Aphrodite Special, which should be able to clear big groups
But that build isn't great at Extreme Measures 3 clearing

my previous best was like 10 seconds faster, btw, with twin fists of malfon ||demeter aspect||

hmmmm, this would've been a lot faster if you had clean kill

i even went yolo against bosses and minibosses, sometimes coming very close to dying
brave fulcrum
prob aphro on attack
that way you can get duo boon for it which increase crit damage on weakened enemies
but hey RNG, am I rite?
versed quarry
im just confused by the timing :P maybe my previous 24 damage run was just faster than i thought?
rng is pretty controllable imo
brave fulcrum
probably just how you fight in general
versed quarry
maybe rng becomes more a factor when you try to do tight deadlines, but other than that, your ability to dodge is probably the biggest factor
(except if you want tight deadline i guess, because good rng can give a lot of dps)

4 duos this run pretty fun hidden fists build, however I think I'm approaching my current limit as far as heat is concerned
I'm only barely winning at 13
simple zenith
switch doom to your attack and put athena on the dash and you'll ride that baby to 32 heat at least
glad horizon
I was planning on a completely different build for this run but this is what ended up happening lol
attack was my only empty slot when Athena pulled up and I figured I might as well

@clever marsh Three hermes boons at victory π Clearly not maxed at 2.
clever marsh
ok, styx shop is different. and it is like hammer because technically you can get 3 by anvil.
but the game gives you 2, you can buy a third.

First full Arthur game. When 'a lot of damage' just isn't enough damage. 1200 crits via attack feel pretty good.

@slow stream rng affecst td because you kinda need high dps boons
autumn valley
I haven't won in a while with the 10 heat, it's nice to finally get one over on the big boss man. Also, on the last boon I purchased from Charon on the last floor after getting the sack, I got two duos offered at once from Poseidon, I've never seen that, so that's pretty cool. Also, yet again, the cast build was strong.
Oh lol, didn't realize that middle thing was there, whoops, well it's a bit late now, guess it'll do

Hits like a truck, but fast like a normal sword
Shadow slash was also hype when Hades was charmed, atleast 1k every third attack with no crit
Makes me wonder how much damage it would be if it was a arte attack instead of athena

but why no attack boon? Had to sell it?

that must have sucked, haha

Minotaur Rush being additive means I could get away with selling the Attack

did you record it? 
this is the 1.0 record, right?
lunar peak
I did
And I'm kinda winding down LOL
Before I edit the run out of my recording session
I think it's also the highest heat record
for 1.0
grave vector
wow, congrats! this used to be max heat
regal sparrow
Minotaur Rush being additive means I could get away with selling the Attack
can you clarify that? Does it mean that it's not very good?
or that % from attack does not increase it?
lunar peak
It means that I can have no attack, or any attack boon, and it'll still add the same amount of damage to the Bullrush when Powershot
For the vanilla Bullrush, that's like an extra 200 damage or something
Because of that, it's actually insane with Artemis Attack
You crit for 700+ damage on a powershot lol
simple zenith
well technically its the 1.37 record 
tough orchid
can you clarify that? Does it mean that it's not very good?
@regal sparrow bull rush is 40 base damage, the hammer is +400% on a minotaur rush? Or +500?
So an attack boon is only scaling that base 40
regal sparrow
ah, I understand that
tough orchid
So you have an attack boon that provides 60%, you get 40->240(mino rush) +(40*.6 attack boon)
regal sparrow
that's why crit chance scales
tough orchid
So it'd net 264
regal sparrow
cuz mino rush can crit, right?
tough orchid
Yeah, crit is a "true" multiplier... Eris, I think as well
Yes, if you have a Deadly Strike, Deadly Reversal, Splitting Headache, etc
Then your bull rush would go 40(base)->240(mino rush)->720(crit)
lunar peak
^ something like that yeah
tough orchid
I could be flubbing some base numbers here, doing this off memory, by the way... maybe bull rushes are 50 ?
lunar peak
Bullrush is base 40 that charges up to 80
regal sparrow
does mino rush work with power shot?
regal sparrow
yeah, charged shot*
lunar peak
Basically double the damage
regal sparrow
I love charged shot
tough orchid
80->480 on a charged shot is pretty nuts

i'm not gonna lie, cursed slash is a tad broken, i only used dd's on the hades fight
it's extremely powerful that you are rewarded even more by doing something you're already doing

Also add Flurry Slash (consecutive attack hits) and your basically losing and regaining health at the same time, almost makes you invincible if hades doesnt hit you hard enough
Sea Storm Chiron pog
p.s: NEW RECORD
I didnt have enough time to get the privileged status cuz poseidon wouldnβt even give me rupture, so good thing i got a demeter boon that had a cast on it

Okay, so, hereβs the thing. I am a Hades Switch player, mostly because I donβt believe the game will run that well on my PC. This game is most definitely my Game of the Year. I canβt get enough of it. So, right now I would like to share this sort of small victory for me.
For the first time in my life, Iβve done true double-dipping with a videogame. I have just purchased Hades on Steam, and I am happy to be able to say I now own the complete SuperGiant collection on Steam (so far). What makes me happier is that I bought both versions of the game at full price, meaning I have paid $50 in total for Hades. This makes me both extremely happy and at the same time, unsatisfied. The reason being that this $25 game is worth $60. I feel like I still owe SGG $10, for the fantastic experience that they have given us. I love this game, and they have my full support from now on. Thank you, SuperGiant Games! I dunno if Hades will run on my PC, but even then, Iβm close to 200 hours on Switch, and itβll just keep growing! Hope it wins GotY!!!!!

gilgamesh is so strong lol
i fought against ||charon|| too btw
i guess its not impressive compared to good players here, but it was surprisingly fast given that my average is like 35 minute :P (before gilgamesh that is)
versed quarry
i did get the sack in 2 tries though, i must add
versed quarry
i actually noticed something that makes the fight trivially easy
he only does the sweep in front of him
so if you just keep backstabbing him it cant hit you, and the other attacks are easy to dodge
ruby mist
How do you dodge the purple balls?
fierce moon
i used for most of the run the broken shackle

Yeah cluster rocket is amazing especially if you run fiery presence and get hydraulic might
old dad call used to be super good with it too

i still can't believe i pulled the time limit and slow bow charge
iron thistle
Poseidon sword is much less effort than nemesis
@frail pilot have you tried running Forced Overtime?
frail pilot
Uh, I have not
simple zenith
FO1 and 2 are very popular if you're trying to go faster
versed quarry
How do you dodge the purple balls?
you can just dash through them, theyre pretty slow :P
not that i dodge all of them though
it helps to have a high dps weapon so you dont get a lot of chances to get hit
actually gilgamesh makes it much easier because of the 2 extra dashes
finite glen
Yeah, especially you can just hold your dash and attack button which makes things easier
fierce moon
Wasnt that specials destroy enemy proyectiles?
finite glen
Yet idk why but i just have trouble using the dash upper for the maim when using the dashes
weak jay
any attacks destroys projectile
the question is can you destroy the projectile before it collides with your hurtbox

1st attempt 32 on spear // still ??? because i just couldn't get the boons i wanted and all through the run i thought "i'm gonna die in this room"

I tried doing a cast build for once:
It was pretty fun, but I'll stick to normal attack and special stuff
lunar peak
u gotta try exit wounds
glacial oak
I really slept of cast builds for a while.
Demeter cast and Artemis cast can be really fun buillds.
I typically use Achilles spear though for the extra damage.
finite glen
dear god....
And all i needed was athena attack, deadly reversal, shadow slash, blinding flash, and slippery ambush
glacial oak
Arthur slaps super hard.
lunar peak
try arty attack on arthur
finite glen
Yeah but since i have deflect on my attack which takes care of projectiles while on hallowed ground it activates deadly reversal, i yet the crit chance, once i get a crit, hunters mark activates and thats where my striking behind comes to play
weak jay
...this is a personal opinion but i think hallowed ground actually makes athena attack moot
since you can just delete them with any other attacks

first 50 heat! super relieved
