[random scaffold]

Athena - Poseidon - Hermes - some Demeter

I forgot to screenshot it 😦

@simple zenith how many hours as of now?

I have 180ish since March

when I joined EA

[simple zenith]

probably close to 600 ish now

LOL

a good 200 is probably dead time

[true hazel]

After lots of trying and failing, the solution to 25 heat is just "kill them before they kill you"

[regal sparrow]

I spy with my little eye lucky chaos boons and lucky rare crop )

[true hazel]

@regal sparrow nothing lucky about epic rare crop (3 targets) hitting my only 2 boons x)

[cosmic kernel]

First Victory with the railgun 6th victory over all and I finally have a victory with all the weapons

[regal sparrow]

yeah, very little luck involved to get rare crop in Tartarus for your main boons 🙂

[true hazel]

I call the fact that the game forces me to go through a door with demeter on it, even though I would avoid this if I could, unlucky, yes.

[regal sparrow]

but then you get epic rare crop in Tartarus or epic Ravenous Soul with Stygian Soul and you are like

[torpid valley]

after 52 attempts finally got my first clear

[worn barn]

congrats 🙂

[sand spear]

got an afk hades win!!

[worn barn]

wow

[strange token]

45 heat nemesis win, payback for all those 57 and 58 heat heat losses

[lunar peak]

THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST SETUP I HAD YET OML ... 😭😂 i thought i was a goner for sure but no

i went into the fight with no more death defiances so i just played defense and was like Okay Cast + Call y’all are about to be. the mvps

and iit WORKED 😭🍾🍾🍾

okay i’m done being annoying 🙏🏼 back to game

[vital ether]

lol

[strange token]

45 heat iincredible chiron run

[tough orchid]

Finally, the relief of escaping this damn seed after like ... 15-20 attempts

oops and I'm dumb again

I mean, it only takes me 4 dodges, 100% dodge and many, many attempts but we got there right?

[icy cave]

no heat so it's not too special but hey, new record for me :)

[tough orchid]

13 minutes is good time

Especially on a not fully upgraded weapon

[simple zenith]

finally finished hades spear and all it took was 2 DDs, every good hammer, and deadly reversal in tartarus

[tough orchid]

how do you have a 5minute eternal spear run... wtf @simple zenith

madness

[simple zenith]

it is a lie

a glitch in the matrix

[tough orchid]

Ah, alright. I think we've had this conversation

clock bug

[tiny burrow]

@inner bane so I tried the aspect of chiron that you mentioned and yeah, i can kinda see what you mean... I got a really lucky run though for the aspect.

[tropic loom]

Did not expect to get 2nd Clear with a no attack shield build. Zeus special, Zeus double bolt chance, Zeus legendary and quad Deflecf dash spam. Just threw a million shields and cramped my hand up on Hades. ...can you rebind Cast/Special lol

[solar wind]

yes you can rebind

[winged lava]

first 32 heat win, took me 4 tries, almost won on the first one xD with the exact same build but lost on the last phase

[ember igloo]

Ooh, Hera

[analog fjord]

Ares overpowered cast spam? Don't mind if I do

[ember igloo]

Heheh

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/767956652920930324/788138260340932628/IMG_20201214_211943.jpg

When you said OP ares I had to

That was on Achilles

[vital ether]

I can't believe I did that... I was rly unlucky this run I lost all of my 3 defiances in tartarus and i couldnt get useful boons but I decided it was a good chance to train... but I didnt expect to win all the way without dafiance not even help from Athena or Patro... IT TOOK 50 MINS I got a headache I swear

btw this is Hades magic after this so hard run and so frustrating I still wanna play more lol

[ionic nest]

yeah it's eating your sanity away

be careful

[regal sparrow]

how strong is Hades Spear with this dash strike spec? Or were you playing ranged?

[kindred sluice]

Still getting back into it, absolutely melted Redacted with this build though

[vital ether]

Even without a good build I understand... sorry for understimating Hades aspect lol

[thorny ether]

Nothing crazy but this is the first time I get 6 cast in a row and hell it make E4 way too easy

[regal sparrow]

managed a crazy damage Hestia build, it's a shame I am so bad with dash shooting

dad fight was a tad slow tho

https://youtu.be/nmKA0EnLlUM

[grave vector]

gambled on the anvil and got really good hammers

[iron thistle]

Got a new PB with an 8:23 nemesis clear

No Heart Rend but SA and billowing plus rush delivery carried

[regal sparrow]

hot damn, that's sooo fast

I'd say Smoldering is better than Heart Rend here if you managed to get Double Strike

[simple zenith]

serrated is just about the best hammer you can find on hades spear

explosive launcher is a close second

i basically used both depending on enemy type/health

[regal sparrow]

god damn it

[lunar peak]

i like quick spin a lot on it

[winged lava]

I Think this challenge is so fun

anyone who wants to try it too? XD

[fleet sundial]

how did you do this

[winged lava]

huuun? i think its easy, at least with the bow, is the best weapon of the game to me xD but yeah i got a little luck, this is the first time i get to finish it all pure, because the last floor is pure luck based if you will get a boon or not

[fleet sundial]

No, i'm mean, to get no boons at all

[winged lava]

oh you can simply sell all the boons you get

[fleet sundial]

Oh

[winged lava]

but i try to dodge all the boon rooms, i only get one when its inevitable, and if i get one i sell at the first fountain

[ruby mist]

why is it set on fated persuasion?

I thought authority was better for boonless runs

[winged lava]

true didn't thought this, its just that i didn't used the mirror in a long time

but persuasion is good, to select a better blessing from chaos

[tame shore]

super soaker 32 @simple zenith @pure lily

[pure lily]

grats schad!!!!

[winged lava]

another boonless

[pallid iron]

This was a fun one

I call this build the Bane of Crawlers

[winged lava]

last one of today

[merry imp]

do you get something special for boonless runs?

[lunar peak]

im not high enough heat for it to matter yet but this felt like some filthy dps

[merry imp]

damn

[lunar peak]

I love the fists

[winged lava]

nothing, i think its just fun to see how far you can get without help xP

[merry imp]

nice, okay

[ember igloo]

You get a different clear title thing

[vital ether]

Second attempt 😄

[simple zenith]

switch soaker heat record

[tame shore]

all my runs are switch record lmfao

[snow coral]

just got my first victory !!!!!!!!

it took a long while but the daedelus boons carried me

see: cursed slash and hoarding slash

hoarding slash and having 1700 currency 👌

[vital ether]

Cursed slash carried you? That's impressive

Congrats

[snow coral]

thank u :)

but yeah there were a lot of times i was basically about to die so i just spammed left click until i had more health

[vital ether]

And hoarding slash I think these are the less favorable by people

[snow coral]

oh yeah i didnt expect to win

and i was tempted to use all my money at the styx shop

[vital ether]

OH I JUST SAW YOUR GOLD LOL

[snow coral]

yEAH I WAS SAYIN 1700 GOLD

[vital ether]

This hammer is about deciding if It's worth keeping the money or not I guess

Maybe I could try a money build

[snow coral]

yeah i also had epic side hustle (+16 a chamber) since asphodel

[tame shore]

No Athena dash full damage hestia for my last 32

All aspects 32+ heat done

[honest bone]

He didn't even had a chance to summon cerberus

[ashen fable]

woo! 26 attempts, 5004 foes slain. my first escape

[magic iron]

Artemis is the best

[lunar peak]

& addled flourish for another +68% damage on special

chiron pretty gud

[cosmic kernel]

First Victory with the pact of punishment

[spare seal]

This may not be any good... but I FINALLY GOT A RUN DONE!

[rose osprey]

Wow, this is probably the most overpowered possible anvil result for the bow

[lunar peak]

LOL

[mint patrol]

Not a victory but first time reach Hades

[ruby mist]

It could still be a victory

[mint patrol]

I lost but could have won, I had stacks of spell damage and spell arrow

[regal sparrow]

Aspect of Hades SUCKS

[low blaze]

woo 22 min run

[rose ruin]

lambent plume + malphon zag fists. 60% dodge chance and 133% dash-strike damage! If only I had artemis dash for even more dash-strike though seems it wasn't necessary lol

[steep cloud]

all that's missing is Hermes' boon that gives you bonus Dodge after using a Call

[signal mulch]

ive been trying to get hermes legendary bad call to complete the prophecy for like 4 runs already im in pain

[regal sparrow]

Once this build gets going it's basically "Lightning Phalanx, go brrrr"

https://youtu.be/9L65EsBC90k

[regal sparrow]

not even close

[tame shore]

You know Hermes legendary is 1% chance without the mirror talent right?

[pallid iron]

Is Gods' Pride as awful as it seems?

It has a pretty steep opportunity cost

Actually, wrong channel, never mind

[signal mulch]

ohh wait it’s cuz I don’t have legacy on?

[gritty zodiac]

I mean, even with Legacy odds are slim, but it does help a ton

Also switching what you can reroll gives you more chances

[lunar peak]

wanted to do something special for my 100th win https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/364243718477185035/788962386203246622/unknown.png

[kindred sluice]

oooh

nice

[lunar peak]

Blood and darkness.

[hasty junco]

haha doom machine

[cinder geyser]

Holy hell, I did it.

[kindred sluice]

nice!

[vital ether]

about hermes legendary just making sure have you checked what it need? both of his legendaries need a differenet mirror talent for your cast

[torn zinc]

Deme+Dio+Zeus is stronk

[pine tangle]

who needs gods

[terse plover]

Second 32 heat victory - on Zag bow, immediately after failing on Rama. Lightning Rod did a ton of work.

[torn zinc]

Definitely my fastest first phase Hades.

[tame shore]

Yea, Hermes legendary chance is different than normal boon.

[vital ether]

Hades wasn't happy 😦

[ember igloo]

Thermonuclear Hera, nice

[terse plover]

3/6 at 32

[night bramble]

boom boom grandma fist

[signal mulch]

ah alright ty

[bleak lichen]

Damn!! That best time tho

Also 46 heat wejdjjsjdk

[lime bane]

[quaint escarp]

Yeah thats awesome my highest is 11 right now.

[lime bane]

Thanks!

[winged lava]

not a victory yet, but damn when rng favors you on a 32 heat boonless RUN XD

[regal sparrow]

dat greatest reflex tho

how did Aphro/Ares duo work out here and why didn't you go for merciful?

[simple zenith]

AP1

also merciful end rama just doesnt really work like you'd want it to

LOL

[tender dragon]

OH i got my first 32 heat victory yesterday!!!

im enjoying aspect of arthur a bit too much

[simple zenith]

32 heat arthur with DC2

absolutely mad

nice job!

[tender dragon]

thank you!!!

antos might not be the most viable for combat but calling my dads for help will never not be nice

[rancid swift]

First win :tada:

[tender dragon]

good job!

sea storm can get crazy

[finite glen]

sea storm + flurry jab

[rancid swift]

I really like the spear

[tender dragon]

OH this is an old build but im still happy with it, low heat but it was fun

[lime bane]

I think it did some damage some of the time. I've no idea lol.

[mint patrol]

First clear. Special and lightning

[vital ether]

Dio's Boon wasn't of any use but it's still ugly there 😦

[exotic tendon]

Finally! First win yay

[tender dragon]

good job guys!!!

[exotic tendon]

Too bad it doesn't show how many attempts it took :/

[ruby mist]

That might be for the better

People would get discouraged by loss streaks

[exotic tendon]

Well surely, but I mean like the first win

[azure nacelle]

Rama's bow

[true hazel]

😮

[finite cove]

Tired of losing on 40 heat, so got a new speed record for myself

[quaint escarp]

So I melted Hades. Its my wifes stream. She wasn't feeling great so I played while she chatted.

https://clips.twitch.tv/YummyGracefulNightingaleTwitchRPG

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/520392698289586196/789250371519250462/hades.PNG

[magic iron]

Yep

[winged plume]

Worst clear yet, surprised i didn't die

[white pebble]

boonless run!

[trim kiln]

wow nice 🙂

Just made it to 50% on the butterfly, including a perfect final boss fight (last 2% wasn't awarded until I closed the victory screen)! Feeling pretty good about this one 😁

[grizzled hinge]

it is done

now, i can rest

[finite fjord]

just beat the final boss without taking any damage! granted, my build was very op (explosive shot + zeus boon and demeter cast + artemis duo boon) but still really proud of myself!

[raven timber]

Close call

[simple zenith]

posting the 1 victory from a 5 hour long sesh today lol we'll take it

[tribal tundra]

haha ice wine goes brrrrrr

[jolly flare]

Got a really fun and strong run. Ares greater call did 50% of Hades's HP by itself

[regal sparrow]

Zeus and Aphro decided not to give their duo to me in Styx - just couple of good boons away from a total damage monster

https://youtu.be/a-mg0jinMCQ

[regal sparrow]

5 sack and no merciful end (instead semi-useless legendary and duo)

and still not too slow

[crisp ginkgo]

new personal best of 16:55 on 10 heat with fists

[iron thistle]

Sub 9 with Demeter fists

Now onto shield

[violet merlin]

all achievements! that's what i'm aiming for too

[grizzled hinge]

if i can do it, you can do it

[eternal moat]

Managed to escape. Couldn't figure out how to screenshot the win screen, so I did this.

[frail pawn]

why

[random pasture]

wowee

[quaint escarp]

You can't get hurt though.

[glacial acorn]

I kind of ran into a perfect Chiron run:

Not shown are Relentless Volley and Concentrated Volley, which were kind of amazing here

Also, I don't think I've ever gotten a boon's level to the double digits before either

[finite fjord]

turns out being limited to one preselected boon per pool makes for a crappy and disjointed build. who would've thought?

[terse plover]

Is that an intentional challenge run? AP is notoriously frustrating and not recommended unless you can't get the heat from somewhere else generally

[ember igloo]

AP2 with shackle and customs

Or find heat elsewhere

[wet nexus]

I just beat my PB by like 4 1/2 minutes

[finite fjord]

It’s the heat challenge thing, I just tried it for the lols. Needless to say, not planning to do it ever again

[heavy sedge]

Whiffed 5 40 heat runs in a row... Go to 19 heat and this happens

[fallow geyser]

first 32 heat clear with 7hp and less than a second to go on TD3 lmao

cutting it clooose

[vital ether]

hestia with Zeus?

This aspect takes time to learn but it's def worth I was just trying it out but this damage was insane faster Hades ive done for sure

[fallow geyser]

build was hella jank yeah, wouldn't have made it without sea storm

[vital ether]

well congrats anyway

[lime bane]

Some sub 12 times.

[ember igloo]

You can't put Poseidon on Zeus Special

It's the worst

[vital ether]

I knew while I was doing it but I had no other choice

but in the end it didnt matter since it one shoted everyone

[still shadow]

just got an amazing run with hera bow + crush shot, with the help of a few duo boons, absolutely destroyed hades

[regal sparrow]

got almost full package with Eris Zeus/Artemis build and two sack at the end as well as quite a few of chaos gates but run is still slow, meh

I don't get how people do it in sub 10

I guess I just have to #gitgud

[pallid iron]

Holy crap this build is overpowered

It isn't a complicated build, I must admit. Cast + Special + Attack + Attack + Attack + Attack + Attack + Attack + ...

Still, this is definitely the first time I've gone through an entire run without dying once

And the first time I cleared every wing of the Temple of Styx

Oh, and I bought Titan Blood along the way too

Ha ha I just triggered the Lambent Plume after the Hades fight

Literally useless, unless you really hate walking through Greece and want to get it over with

[vital ether]

why would you hate walking through Greece? it's so beautiful

[pallid iron]

Yeah, I know

Reminds me a lot of Frederic Church paintings, actually

And I caught a Bass! Truly this run was blessed

[eternal moat]

Cursed Slash is both a gift and a curse.

[pallid iron]

Cursed Slash forces a super-aggressive playstyle, but that perfectly suited my build.

Hoarding Slash was stacking a flat +80 Attack Damage (before I bought the Titan Blood), the Aspect of Zagreus was boosting Move Speed and Attack Speed, my Special applied Weak, Heart Rend made Critical Damage more powerful, my Attack Boon was Deadly Strike, the Lambent Plume boosted my Move Speed further while negating almost a fifth of incoming hits…

[vital ether]

Cursed slash maybe is useful some times

but Hoarding slash is just not worth

[pallid iron]

Oh, it very much is

[vital ether]

giving the money for boons is just a lot better

or poms

[pallid iron]

And clearing rooms that fast meant the Lambent Plume got better and better

[vital ether]

believe me I just did a 3000 gold hoarding slash run

it's just bad

[pallid iron]

I always save for the Diamond or Titan Blood at the end. I'm sure that is less effective at higher Heat

[vital ether]

yes I couldnt bring myself to end the run with 3000 gold for this bad hammer so i bought the styx store lol

it was blood i had to do it

[eternal moat]

That's a lot of gold. Charon would be proud of you for having all of that gold.

[vital ether]

yes but he has it in the end

lol

[pallid iron]

You don't have to neglect other things to get Obols, you know

I don't.

[tacit blaze]

Let's try to stay on the channel topic, please

[pallid iron]

True

[vital ether]

oh yes sry sry

[eternal moat]

Sorry.

[manic gull]

I was aiming for Demeter's legendary and accidentally got like, all her other boons along the way...

[pallid iron]

Disciple of Demeter indeed

[hard gazelle]

Had poseidon attack with seastorm and splitting bolt, absolutely tore through Hades, rush delivery also helped

oh and 26.4% lambent plume

[dusky ledge]

not as good as y'all yet but ive been having fun

this is an older screenshot i think i forgot to take my last run's one

[hard gazelle]

nice!

[iron thistle]

This build overkill oneshots hades phases

[royal current]

so close to breaking bablo's 7:57 zag shield wr

[prime mirage]

https://puu.sh/GYOwT/f6a85b4843.png

easy pact with EM2 TD2 but i struggled too much versus Theseus V2 for some reason

[signal bobcat]

thank god for the triple duo

[finite cove]

Hit my first under 12 run

[heavy wren]

Ugh the Infinite theme is so good. I need to grind.

[honest bone]

Why is zagreus' bow so hard to play

[restive ether]

we gottem

[regal sparrow]

my personal best and a beast of a build

also recorded the run )

[true hazel]

first time extreme measures 4 😮

As you can see I barely made it lmao

[hollow nova]

First 32heat win 😄

I was using aphro attack, but had to purge it in the last pool

:/

[regal sparrow]

https://youtu.be/59xzoMWEyaI

[eternal moat]

Wild Artemis Build, no Death Defiances used up.

[quaint escarp]

Cast is all you need.

[fast raft]

Hello. Is there someplace I can check what is the meaning of certain taglines under the "VICTORY!" means?

I get the "Disciple of Zeus" or some other Gods since it means I have plenty of boons under that God.

However, I get "Erebus Gatekeeper", "Perfect Clear" and some others and I wanted to know what it meant. Thanks a lot!

[ruby mist]

https://hades.gamepedia.com/Run_Clear_Messages

[fast raft]

Awesome! Thanks!

[simple zenith]

10 God run complete

[lunar peak]

50% family favorite bonus. epic

[simple zenith]

i think it's only 45% because chaos dont count but uh

in conclusion

FF > PS

[hidden salmon]

i always disliked trippy shot, but this run made me kinda like it :)
got really lucky with the duo boons here

[proud tiger]

meme

[dapper ginkgo]

That is some heavy memery...heroic and all

[simple zenith]

forgot to change my mirror back from 50 heat but that's both challenges done!

[hasty junco]

buzzsaw simulator

[strange token]

45 heat gilgamesh, who needs attack boons?

[glad drift]

Zagreus Is Comin' to Town completed. Will submit the run after the video finishes uploading (so in about 3-4 hours possibly)

edit: run submitted, video posted also in #self-promotion

(do I have to ping anyone? we used to ping Tiank for weekly challenges before)

[simple zenith]

i dont think so

just a google form submission

[shadow helm]

PB'd! Could've gotten lower if I was used to using Rocket Bomb but I'm happy with it nonetheless

[still shadow]

the amount of burst damage in this run was insane, sadly i lost all 3 of my death defiances to the extreme measures theseus fight because the explosive shot just charged up too slow

also had exit wounds and the hermes boon for casts to drop faster

[glad drift]

A Very Zaggy Christmas completed. Got every god except Ares. Will submit after the video uploads.

Video in #self-promotion

(+ Chaos)

[glad horizon]

kinda annoyed that I got a build this good while I was doing a 10 heat darkness farming run lol, it was great nevertheless

[restive ether]

first streak 😤

[rough kite]

daddies gone in two minutes

[viscid crow]

The luckiest run of my life. First Zeus boon was Thunder Flourish, second was Double Strike, third was Splitting Bolt (with one reroll). Such a fun build.

[rough kite]

first sub 20

[vital ether]

Pffff 0 Blade rift upgrades

[vital ether]

I couldn't stop hearing the critical hit sound lol

[fiery talon]

During this run, I did some damage.

This is the best cast run I've ever had. And I was here when Hunting Blades was meta.

Followed up by this, in which I killed redacted in under two minutes.

[frail pawn]

I BEAT HADES

First time

and no death defiences

[vague orchid]

Finally got my first 32 heat and my first EM4 clear!!!

[frail pawn]

went for an artemis build

[true summit]

F me. prob my best build so far but it is on the 10th run

[frail pawn]

who needs special D)

[night bramble]

when the stars aligns just right 😌

[frail pawn]

dang

thats like one of the best hangover builds

[night bramble]

its an absolutely wasted build

not gonna remember this run in the morning

[crisp ginkgo]

Love the four defiance’s from four different sources haha

[night bramble]

only three actually lol, only missing athena

although i did get one from pat and one from the well so i guess it is 4

i embarrassingly lost the one from pat on theseus

[frail pawn]

theseus can be stupid sometimes

also what is a fun pact of punishment

i just got it

or heat

[night bramble]

extreme measures

[frail pawn]

alright

thanks

[night bramble]

godspeed

[viscid crow]

forced overtime spices things up as well.

[frail pawn]

but is it fun?

[viscid crow]

It's... exciting?

[lunar peak]

monsters go zoom

it's a good pact to get used to early on as well

[frail pawn]

i tried extreme measures and i thought i had to fight all 3 and not Help

it made it a little harder yes

[viscid crow]

I think the game is inherently fun as long as it's not too easy. Forced overtime makes it less easy.

[frail pawn]

furies

[viscid crow]

Except those goddamn shield enemies with their stupid spin attack.

[frail pawn]

well im still pretty new at the game

hate those guys

i think theseus is easier than those guys

[viscid crow]

I agree

[frail pawn]

like honestly

[viscid crow]

Because Theseus is legible when he's about to spin. The shield bros are really hard to read, especially amidst other enemies and effects.

They literally had to put a border around the warriors of Elysium because they're so hard to see lol.

[frail pawn]

and when they have shield

they are only easy if you have a dmg build

so you can kill them bf they turn around

[viscid crow]

Yeah, if you can catch them right away it's a huge relief. But we should move this convo to #h1-discussion since we're no longer boasting about victories.

[frail pawn]

HOLY

[frail pawn]

actual scuffed loadout

2 in a row too

[slate flower]

Just got my fourth win in a row today. :D

I used the Sigil of the dead more as a meme, and...

It turned out to be helpful in the end.

[silver grove]

sigil of the dead is actually really good

gives you a 100% damage bonus

[slate flower]

Not to mention the hilarious dialogue between you and Hades

FATHER!

Yes, I hear you just fine.

[silver grove]

Father! Son!

[slate flower]

Father!

Vanish, see if I care!

Honestly, one of my favorite pre-battle dialogues was when there was a fishing spot right in front of Hades, and Zag asked if he was gonna take him fishing instead.

Meanwhile, I had a close call the other day

My first W with Beowulf, And I was absolutely getting shredded...

Kept wasting death Defiances, but somehow pulled out a W with Ares' Rifts.

[mint patrol]

This was a killer build

[slate flower]

I did fufill the prophecy the other day to get all Duo Boons.

Which is great. 👌

...Now I just need to get to the Surface with Guan Yu

Before I decided to use that spear, I put all the Titan Blood into that, so it wouldn't be as painful to use. x.x

I maxed it out at -50% Max Health and healing

I know that the Routine Inspection will be absolutely miserable to win with.

[ruby mist]

Yeah, it doesn't feel good losing rerolls

At least you can regain some back from the house contractor upgrade but losing the initial rerolls hurts

[slate flower]

I am probably going to jut activate Routine Inspection on it's own and not care about other heat levels

[slate flower]

First run with Guan Yu

And got a win with it

:D

Quick Spin+Massive Spin+Divine Strike is just

👌

And got a new fastest time too!

19:40.82

[barren vessel]

quick + massive on guan yu is sooo fun

[slate flower]

And when you add Divine Strike, almost NOTHING can hit you.

Especially with Divine Dash, too.

I of course didn't touch Guan Yu until I made it legendary, because I was not dealing with nearly -75% max HP. :X

[silver grove]

charged skewer is also great on guan yu

[lunar peak]

I think I tried it once before going "Okay, the Aspects that need level 5 are not being played until they're level 5" and I stuck to that for the rest of my builds.

[silver grove]

with heart rend you can get like 1200 dmg crits with it

[lunar peak]

You can get a lot of big crits with Heart Rend.

[silver grove]

yeah arthur gets huge crits as well, in particular

another fun crit build is lucifer special with triple bomb

[flat trout]

https://prnt.sc/w67vlp baj shield op

[regal sparrow]

new pb with Lambent Plume Zag sword

[silver grove]

nice one!

[mint patrol]

This worked remarkably well

[last fern]

I lost the end screen but I took a screenshot during it

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/783381931155914782/789249224852111410/unknown.png

[regal sparrow]

put together a monster but 5 sack killed the run

[silver grove]

styx is so stressful for that reason :x

guess you might've had sub 10 mins if you had 2

[regal sparrow]

sub 11 maybe, but was too slow for sub 10 that run

[silver grove]

speaking of sub 10

got my first sub 10 earlier today

(I'm playing on switch so excuse the photo quality)

[barren vessel]

zag bow sub 10, nice job

[silver grove]

I think flurry shot instead of chain shot could've made it even faster perhaps

I've had that combo before but had bad rng in Styx

otherwise the boon selection was pretty much spot on

[regal sparrow]

that's juciy

[silver grove]

wish I had a capture card so I could've submitted it to speedrun.com, but alas :p

[lunar peak]

waiting for the day someone records a switch run with their phone

[silver grove]

I'll strap mine to my head next time

XD

[slate flower]

HADES, GOD ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️ ♦️

[slate flower]

You can actually upload pictures to your smartphone via the switch now

The newest update did that

[frail pilot]

I have a twitter account just for switch screen grab uploads

[slate flower]

Fair enough

I left twitter myself, so I use the smartphone method

But yeh, I'm happy with my 5 win streak.

Even if I die, I'm not gonna be too upset. I got 5 wins in a row, That's more than enough for me.

A lot of my wins have been with the Chaos Egg.

One of my wins with the Shield was AWFUL during the earlygame

I had the misfortune of having a curse that made me slower, AND a curse that made me take damage when attacking.

But in the end, I managed to overcome it and get some damn good boons as a result.

...There's only two things left I need to win with on the pact to fufill that prophecy.

The higher enemy health, and...

...Routine Inspection.

[regal sparrow]

my pb with Eris but overall disappointing run given the hand I've been dealt

maybe my fastest dad kill tho

https://youtu.be/TnY7pOHLgWE

[ruby mist]

I finally got artemis' legendary

and my win streak continues

[mossy wadi]

nice lol

http://puu.sh/GZd22/3cb56a5017.jpg

I suppose this is what happens when the three eldest gods on olympus work together?

[scarlet geyser]

Hi All! I was able to down Hades on my first attempt reaching him, escape attempt 15. Such a great game, I'm loving it!

[mossy wadi]

Congratz! Also that's some intense Ares

[scarlet geyser]

Yeah I kept getting boosts for my uppercut and doom, so I was melting rooms with the magnetic pull fist and the dash aoe uppercut

Plus the heal was a godsend(pun intended)

[mossy wadi]

plus you have the normal fist punches to keep 'em locked in place until doom does its thing too

[scarlet geyser]

I had the thunderbolt dash so I was just dashing to keep them getting hit while uppercutting as much as possible, didn't even use my normal attack for the last half

[mossy wadi]

plus static discharge on the dash too

[scarlet geyser]

^

Now to try and find actual builds instead of getting lucky 👍

[mossy wadi]

It's a roguelike tho. You make your own builds, which is part of the fun

Quick question; do you have the upgrade for the codex that tells you about each olympian's boons?

[scarlet geyser]

I think so..?

Seems like I only have Athena and the Duo ones

[spark crypt]

oh I love me some cast builds

[barren vessel]

that’s a lot of purple

[pure lily]

god's pride cool talent

[still shadow]

first run with Arthur, got my attack up to lvl 11 and was doing about 1500 on a backstab

[arctic plume]

First victory I got today or yesterday. Panicked a lot

[barren vessel]

got a 40 heat mirrorless run

[silk shard]

I lucked into an incredibly ridiculous cast build. Three Duos, three Legendaries, all the damage in the world, and good defense as well.

[robust bramble]

First win, at last. Chiron bow with doom on attack and chill on special, and various chill-related boons including Demeter's legendary. Special thanks to Artemis's Call.

[radiant jungle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468602165741748224/790079257279594516/unknown.png

my speed and me getting hit so much in the last fight isnt that impressive, but im moreso boasting about the chaos boons i got and how i deleted meg

[summer hill]

EM4 HADES DED.

[ruby mist]

Challenge complete, to get a boon from at least 9 different gods

Only one that's missing is demeter

[drifting crane]

this build was extremely fun

[radiant jungle]

beat em4 dad on my second try AND robbed than

[lunar peak]

Robbing Than is what was important here.

[radiant jungle]

dont forget the very helpful one chaos boon i got

[lunar peak]

Had a 16k damage combo from Blade rifts, highest I've ever seen. Didn't manage to get a screencap of it, though.

[rugged horizon]

ahhh the Hunting blades Fully Loaded build feels so amazing with stygian soul. Especially with vicious cycle.

[glass orchid]

First sub 10 run

[silver grove]

congrats!

delta chamber with zeus attack on rail is crazy good lol

[zenith bough]

first time doing EM4

[round cedar]

one of the easiest way to beat the game, if not the easiest. Zeus shield + zeus on special and take everything you can to increase it's effectiveness. Just spam spinning shield

[fleet sundial]

I love duo spam

[summer hill]

Second time EM4. Making the Styx salty with dad tears. Was lucky and got Ares legendary

[tender dragon]

man aspect of demeter is fun

[mint patrol]

Forgot about the deadline

[lunar peak]

record scratch
freeze frame

[mystic fog]

just finished getting all the achievements. Used to think that heat 16 would be a nightmare, when in fact it's not when you get used to the pact

[fleet sundial]

EM4

[slate flower]

I actually got Disciple of Hermes today

[regal sparrow]

got merciful end waaay to late (in styx)

https://youtu.be/tbAYnX9lc34

still tons of damage of course

[slate flower]

Congrats on 100 Wins!

[bright dagger]

tenth win ||dad was merciful, tks dad|| my heart was shaken because i got all 3 DDs ready but don't have to use them

[regal sparrow]

oof, dat is faaast

does night's shawl do stuff?

[bleak pendant]

used all 3 death defys in the last phase, and forgot to use rib lol

[cosmic kernel]

Aspect of Hera is really fun

[slate flower]

Managed to get a really fun run today

[frail pilot]

Hera destroys bosses

[gray niche]

Is that normal to have 4 duo in 1 run ?

[true hazel]

First time 32 heat! Morale of the story: Myrmidon's Bracer is useful when enemies hit for a truckload of damage and you have innate damage reduction from Arthur.
Also: Just because the clock hits 00:00 doesn't mean you're dead.

[minor dagger]

Eyyy

With the tips from Wriste13

[night bramble]

@frail pilot I agree, good sir

[winged maple]

Wait you beat the game in 9 min=

?

O ___ O

[languid socket]

my first 32 heat clear!

[frail pawn]

good job!

[languid socket]

ty!

[frail pawn]

what does this mean?

[rigid quail]

you need to complete their favor

whose is this specifically?

[frail pawn]

megara

first of the furys

[rigid quail]

you just need to get your dialogue with her along

[frail pawn]

so just talk to her

[rigid quail]

once she ||seeks you out in your room for the second time|| you will know her favor is done

[frail pawn]

oh

alright thanks

[rigid quail]

most of the locked hearts require a lot of dialogue unlocking

[frail pawn]

already happened once

[rigid quail]

till next time then :D

[minor dagger]

Yea with practice and knowing what to do it’s possible to beat it by 7-8 minutes even less.

[regal sparrow]

that's a sick timer, gj

[slate flower]

Banged out Three good W’s today

The Eris run was particuarly fun.

[mint patrol]

Figured out how to record play
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f6zkje6A3I

[regal sparrow]

3-sack

[regal sparrow]

a yo-yo build with hunting blades?

damn

it seems that acorn wasn't for nothing, lol

[lime bane]

Yo-yo build?

[regal sparrow]

ye, saw that at Haelian stream

you magnetize them with uppercut only to push them away with Poseidon

[lime bane]

Oh.

No, I picked Tempest Flourish only for Mirage Shot.

[regal sparrow]

not sure if it really does something but the name is fitting

did you fight between casting?

[lime bane]

Yes.

I canceled the Special immediately after applying the debuff. I do not care for doing "yo-yo" meme stuff lol.

It's not very good.

[regal sparrow]

noice, so spam three blades, uppercut and then bash them with fists

[regal sparrow]

duh )

meme value tho

[silk shard]

Just got my first EM4 Hades kill with Shield. I have now beaten EM4 dad with all weapons!

I got my first EM4 Dad kill with spear last week, but I forgot to screencap it, so this will have to do.

This was an absolutely bonkers powerful run. Hades spear with Quick + Massive Spin, Poseidon attack, and Sea Storm made an insane combo I call Sea Storm Spin. I also had a cast subtheme going on with Electric Shot and Greater Recall. A big spin attack followed by throwing all my casts was a good way to clear out most rooms in Styx.

Aspect of Hades is now my favorite spear. I honestly don't see how Achilles is better.

[steep cloud]

i love Hades spin

[finite fjord]

Just beat EM3 Theseus for the first time! It was a lot easier than I was expecting, maybe even easier than the base fight

Especially Theseus himself

That chariot really does him no favours

[slate flower]

Had a fun run

Don't mind me

Just casually holding A and watching your health go down, Father. :)

[celest loom]

my first escape with the shield!

[lunar peak]

i’m loving the new keepsake omg. used it the whole run, actually felt too easy

probably been asked already but how do u guys get the god-themed victory screens? like the frames

[ruby mist]

They're an endgame thing

[lunar peak]

themes from the house contractor, I'm not entirely sure what unlocks them

[ruby mist]

Get enough darkness, spend enough gems at the contractor, and get all the gameplay related upgrades from the contractor to unlock them

[lunar peak]

o ty!

[glacial acorn]

I got a Gilgamesh win for once:

[terse plover]

Arthur got a lot more comfy with FO off

[rose osprey]

Okay, 1000 damage shotgun blasts are fun

[ripe zodiac]

By this point I've had at least one run done with all six weapons.
But this run was the one where it went from "this game is pretty good" to "THIS GAME IS REALLY GOOD"

[deft sail]

FINALLY SUB 20 RUN

[vital ether]

My rng yesterday felt rly bad so I needed this run for today^^

[ember igloo]

Holy crap

That's one hit kills for days

[vital ether]

ikr

[vital ether]

Now I see why y'all like Rama so much

[kindred sluice]

🔥

[glad drift]

3 Hermes boons (one of which is legendary), but no Disciple of Hermes victory title

[kindred sluice]

This one's gonna take two screenshots...it's been a while since I've had this much damage

see, I used to think the only way to get a machine gun of lightning was with Exagryph

turns out, 4x Scintillating Feast + Zeus' Call + Double-Strike & Splitting Bolt

is a ton of lightning

[lunar peak]

At some point, you're about to see lightning strike twice in the same spot

With that much

[kindred sluice]

yup

yup

(anything more about that should go in #h1-builds-and-combat though :3)

no need!

or sure

[summer hill]

Defeated EM4 Hades with Ares on Special Chaos Aspect

lots of duos

[tender dragon]

finally did the pierced butterfly quest!

[hard gazelle]

100% achievements!

[mint patrol]

Merciful End and Divine Dash are broken

[hard gazelle]

divine dash is really good, merciful end if you have divine dash with it is I think the strongest build in the game

provided you have a quick attack at least

[rigid quail]

not the usual victory but HECK YEAH

[empty escarp]

wow

how many hours of gameplay

?

[hard gazelle]

Same day!

[rigid quail]

300 but i think i got it a few days ago and didnt notice 😂

[vital ether]

I just wanted to try Eris with Zeus but Zeus was kinda high and he swhoed up 3 times in Tartarus and I got legendary in Asphodel lol

[hard gazelle]

nice, love zeus on rail

also +12 lightning bounces

[unique crown]

didnt know where to put this but this was from charon

[mint patrol]

Hunting blades debuffnerf

[grizzled elk]

I did it!

[mint patrol]

congrats!

[vital ether]

so this run made me consider trying a no hit but no heat (at least for trying out) no dodge chance, Athena's call and other items that grant invincibility and MAYBE just MAYBE not Athena's dash. Perhaps I'll give it a shot I believe it's magable. Styx and Hades are the bug problems

[rich kite]

victory and finally rolled credit's on the game today...such a fantastic game well deserving of the awards. Been so amazing to watch the game evolve. chuckles was torn which channel to type this in! 😂

[mint patrol]

Crystal beam and Ares Aid worked together well

Unusual combo

With cold embrace

[regal sparrow]

that actually half makes sense if you can have ares call "on call"

special > drop cryystal beams, turn into blade rift

but I don't think it will work like that often :))

[mint patrol]

Yes, you move faster and you can put enemies directly in the middle (or boss)

Would be great to have practice room to experiment all crazy combos

[regal sparrow]

I see the idea but I think it won't work because you kind of need Smoldering Air for it to work

which is a huge ask

[fluid aurora]

I actually did it!

Peep the timer tho 👀

[snow coral]

got my second victory ever? didnt expect to win but i got a second duo ability right at the end of styx and the anvil replaced spread fire with seeking + explosive fire on the gun

i also had triple bomb so i really just went for ranged dps and the post-defiance autoheal gave me some support too
but really
i think i just got better at the game and made less mistakes lol

now its time to meet my mom and get really sad

update: :(

[vital token]

I DID IT I DID MY FIRST WINNNNN

I went with a lot of Artemis, Athena and Ares

So it was a good balance of defence and offence

[thick skiff]

Finally! All achievments, now this. Not much left to do 😢

[slate flower]

Even after all these wins, I'm STILL trying to get Divine Protection...

That's the last damn legendary boon I need

[pallid iron]

This is the most overpowered combination since Transistor's Switch() + Help() + Spark()

It's basically Coronacht, but you're invincible while charging a shot and you're way better at dealing with swarms

What does "Made Friends Along the Way" refer to? I didn't even give anyone Nectar

Or use my Companion, which apparently isn't allowed during the Hades fight. I remember hearing something along those lines

[sonic lagoon]

Board OP

[steep cloud]

Fully Loaded and Greater Recall on a Cast weapon 💦

[lunar peak]

NPC encounters.

[pallid iron]

I saw that on the wiki page, but thanks

[little cliff]

This run was awesome!

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/746527302166249583/790747677688201226/victory_boasting.jpg

[regal sparrow]

I still feel I am not properly dash-striking or smth

[weak zephyr]

got the 32 heat clear for that beauty of a statue :)!

I finished the elysium boss with a solid 1 hp too

[lunar peak]

Figuring out a new speedrunning meta build ?!? (This is a time of a 3-sack where I could have played even more optimally)

[slate flower]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/349316561439555585/790774222494236672/image0.jpg
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/349316561439555585/790774222770143262/image1.jpg

Had a pretty fun run!

Hermes Keepsake was great

[lunar peak]

I swear Poseidon Start on Zeus shield might be optimal for speedruns what the frick

[lime bane]

Nice.

[brave fulcrum]

so I used hades roulette for the build

it is surprisingly good

[slate flower]

Hades Roulette?

Also, given how you chose to take the hammer upgrade for less Ammo, I can imagine that's Hestia.

Right?

[brave fulcrum]

nah, zag

[slate flower]

Ohh.

Interesting.

Zag aspect of the rail is probably my least used aspect.

[brave fulcrum]

since I only got one dash at a time, I need something to keep flame wheels away

[slate flower]

Fair enough

[brave fulcrum]

also the roulette basically randomized the mirror, weapon, keepsake, and companion

[slate flower]

Interesting.

I'll admit that I never used Ruthless Dash much.

Especially when I get two dashes, its just... hard to really go back.

[brave fulcrum]

I did try to get greatest reflex

common is fine

the RNG was not kind

[slate flower]

Ouch.

[brave fulcrum]

not to mention the EM4

I was screaming through it

[slate flower]

To be honest, I am most likely not touching EM4 with a ten foot pole.

I have alerady dealt with the madness that was EM1-3.

EM4 is one of the few lines I dare not cross.

[brave fulcrum]

I've come to a point where I need EM4

as much as I hate

the whole fight

[slate flower]

I'd rather take anything other than EM4.

[brave fulcrum]

screw TD3

[slate flower]

I am only ever doing TD1 or 2.

I do not hate myself for TD3.

[brave fulcrum]

I did once, it was stressful

[slate flower]

I saw someone complete a run where they had to deal with the Tight Deadline damage for the whole run.

https://youtu.be/ZfNHfZezaj0

Absolutely insane.

[brave fulcrum]

don't think we should talk here lmao

[slate flower]

Fair

But yeah, just wanna say that your run was good

👌

[brave fulcrum]

thanks

[slate flower]

I'll admit that the run I had was also pretty fun, tbh.

I never really gave much thought to Hermes' Keepsake till I slapped it on for the whole run and got Rush Delivery.

That was when it was absolutely amazing.

[proper estuary]

Finally cleared 32 heat with stygian blade. Only the spear left!

[slate flower]

Well done!

[frail pilot]

Finally, nem sub 10

[slate flower]

Impressive!

To be honest, I never liked Smoldering Air

Having a 10% God Gauge is notsomething I was a fan of

[frail pilot]

With Zeus aid its just free dmg

And getting billowing strength makes smoldering air insane

[slate flower]

I suppose that's fair

I always liked to save up my gauge myself to drop it on Hades like an Anvil.

[lunar peak]

I only ever do full gauge for arty/aphro

[frail pilot]

Yea i was pretty much spamming call all through the dad fight lol

[slate flower]

I do full gauge for Athena, too.

Ended up saving me in a few runs.

[lunar peak]

and smoldering air is pretty good with aphro because of the charm (though not the best call it could go with)

[slate flower]

Because I was able to get up close to Hades while he couldn't do anything to hit me, and I could block his attacks.

Worded it better

[frail pilot]

If only aphro call could interrupt "darkness" or pots

[pine skiff]

Not even close, baybee

[shadow kite]

finally beat final boss without using DD

[vital ether]

They called me a madman for taking Posseidon special on Zeus. Because they couldn't see the combo with seastorm

[lunar peak]

I was one of 'em

Only decided to try it because I had a decent time in one of my 59 heat attempts that started with Poseidon special lol

[steep cloud]

Just finished run #99; 40 wins and a 15 winstreak that's still going

Rollin' in them Heat rewards

I think i have the Sword, Spear, and Bow up to 8 Heat for the Skelly quest lol

Maybe the Shield too i forget tbh

[charred wadi]

99 runs, 52 clears, and 67 hours later I finally have all the achievements. What an amazing game!

[brave fulcrum]

This is the most unorthodox nemesis build I've ever made

man, I'm having fun with Hades randomizer

oh I had bellowing call also

+25%

this is bonkers

[brave fulcrum]

I found the reason why boiling blood don't stack

[ancient delta]

Ice Wine + Killing Freeze makes me go 👀

[slate geyser]

🪞 ❌

[barren vessel]

goddamnit tail

you really had to

that’s a fantastic build too, esp no mirror

ap1 but still

[slate geyser]

haha yeah, i honestly got pretty lucky, and wasn't expecting the win so soon

[barren vessel]

this is extremely impressive, nice job

[terse plover]

5/6 at 32 heat

[brave fulcrum]

High confidence Guan yu

[unreal prawn]

First clear on Switch. Bought a copy, moved my save over from Steam, rebound the controls to be comfortable, tried it - works surprisingly well!

[empty escarp]

I really dont know if i had a good build can someone tell me

[vital ether]

not really tbh you had Arthur though

[empty escarp]

bruh

welp

[tacit blaze]

More important question is did you enjoy the run? If so, then success!

[empty escarp]

demeter helped more

[vital ether]

exactly

[empty escarp]

yea it was fun trying a new build and trying to find stuff

any tips for a good build

[tacit blaze]

You'll want to go to #h1-builds-and-combat for discussion

[vital ether]

Here is the best tip keep trying stuff out and experiment on your own!

[empty escarp]

aight

man everytime i beat the last boss (even though it is the second time) it is amazing finally beeing on the surface

[vital ether]

I know right! It's so beautiful

[simple zenith]

45 heat rail! ignore the poseidon's aid divine dash and deadly strike on AP2 🙈

[vital ether]

this is what we like to see

[prime mirage]

https://puu.sh/H00fg/3998830021.png

yea 19HP !

[warm skiff]

congrats!

[left zephyr]

ill boast this

[azure nacelle]

yeah

[slate flower]

yeah

[silver grove]

that build looks absolutely fire

[vapid sluice]

absolutely nuts call build, hoping for rip current and wave pounding on the next run!

[mint patrol]

Crit

[royal current]

Numbers get way bigger with other aspects

[vital token]

Second win. Didn't expect it but then I did it

[rigid quail]

melikes duos

status curses are just so very beautiful

[hard gazelle]

They are

And that’s a lot of duos

[rigid quail]

that was so much damage

even if charon took my DDs and i had to buy em back it was just beautiful

[hard gazelle]

Probably would’ve been stronger if you had a better hangover but eh

[rigid quail]

thats true

[hard gazelle]

Charon is hardest boss in the game because he’s about as hard as regular with less health hades but you fight him earlier

[rigid quail]

at least shield gives hangover dash a nice chance

[hard gazelle]

Yeah

[rigid quail]

one hit from charon is 40 damage

[hard gazelle]

Or more

[rigid quail]

and the lightsaber hit is 50

i had him in tart

[hard gazelle]

Yeah it’s pretty brutal

[rigid quail]

so brutal

but the 20% are a nice exchange

[hard gazelle]

It’s alright-ish with a ranged weapon

[rigid quail]

thats true

[hard gazelle]

If you had fists or sword

Just

No

Never

[rigid quail]

i think fists would be ok with cast build and auto call but else hell no, i agree

[hard gazelle]

Yeh

[rigid quail]

sword the same but it got a bit more chances than fists

[dusky arrow]

How do you get 99 uses?

[lunar peak]

hax

[dusky arrow]

more precisely

[lunar peak]

idk

[dusky arrow]

i see that on youtube video

[rigid quail]

HAX

[barren vessel]

got an absolute metric ton of zeus and still barely managed 40 heat

need to play w this aspect more

[slate flower]

Managed to get Fisher King today

[slate flower]

Managed to get quite the interesting run

[vital token]

Winter Harvest saved me twice. Third Win

Overal. Super productive run. Unlocked the locked heart for Than, got a bunch of prophecy boons

[slate flower]

REAP WHAT YOU SOW!

That's so badass.

It was the other day when I learned that Winter Harvest affected Hades himself

[vital token]

Super freaking cool

Legit one of the most badass ways Ive beaten him

[slate flower]

Haha, get it? Cool? ;)

[lunar peak]

360 noscope nohit vs the big man

(the acorn is kinda cheating but still, this felt damn good)

[slate flower]

[proper estuary]

Pls don't say this. I rely on acorn nearly every run

After 200+ hours I finally beat 32 heat with all weapons. I'm freeeeeeeee!

[lunar peak]

ha I just mean in terms of claiming no hit

I abuse acorn also

[proper estuary]

Ah. Lol Yeah that's true

Last 2 were by far the hardest. I got pretty lucky with spear getting artemis leg and patty

[drifting sluice]

I managed my first 32 heat run!

[strange token]

57 heat nemesis! IT'S BEEN DONE

[vital token]

This is my last win of the day. 3 wins altogether today. Very proud of myself, also very tired

[winter gust]

My highest heat run yet, not the best time to check if Charon battles pause the timer (they don't).

[glacial acorn]

I did a Plume run to max out Hermes' hearts:

Also, I finally maxed out everyone's hearts as of this run

[steady shuttle]

"easyyyy" xD

[glacial acorn]

CLEAR NUMBER 100 WOOO

[harsh agate]

my first ever run with igneus eden, and non chaos shield win

[eternal moat]

Nutty spear build, but then game crashed, so now I gotta start over again.

[lunar peak]

finally i cleared 32 heat after many attempts🥺

[ruby mist]

Did you jsut jump straight to 32 heat from 20?

[lunar peak]

YUP ×__×

[ruby mist]

That's very brave of you

[lunar peak]

Im on 53 XP im grinding so hard so I can complete the house renovations im not trying to win rn tho i could

[remote wolf]

first time

it was essentially an aoe doom build. i used ares calldown and had two meg calls for the tiny vermin, which i found out how to beat

[finite fjord]

just finished my first high heat run!!!!

enkidu makes short work of everything, but i'm proud nonetheless

[near mesa]

My first under 20 mins run

[severe pond]

damn if I had gotten sack in 2 I might have even gotten a sub 11 :(

[slate flower]

@severe pond You can upload your switch screenshots to your phone and upload them to discord!

Not judging you or downplaying your signifance of your W, just some advice for the future. c:

[brave fulcrum]

Another random assortment of mirror build, this one is great

[rough kite]

first clear with Rama

[brave fulcrum]

This was fun

[proper estuary]

Oooh I love doom stacking. How much were you getting per activation? You should do it again with priv status

[brave fulcrum]

around 450 ish on first doom

and also I was doing randomizer run

so it was not up to me which mirror I get

[proper estuary]

Is that a mod or is there a website or something? Interesting!

[brave fulcrum]

website, just google it

[amber mural]

Managed to beat the last boss within hermes' lambent plume timeframe for the first time 😄

[silver grove]

completed my first 32 heat run 😄

[simple zenith]

c o l d f u s i o n

[lunar peak]

Poseidon orange boon 👀

he summoned the crystals that shield and the sort of snake head that pops out of the ground

i scuffed the run at the champions where i lost 2 death defiances by being overconfident

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

But it's still a quote that applies even now

My clear time was 38 minutes. x.x

I was just thinking this exact same build (except Smoldering which seems like a nice bonus)

how is it?

You charge shot > throw 5 shields > charge shot > charge shot?

[lime bane]

Charged Shot > Special > Cast > Charged Shot spam. Pretty much.

You have time to Cast if your Special doesn't return right away.

[regal sparrow]

Is the damage there?
