h1-victory-boasting

[regal sparrow]

you got pretty decked build there

[lime bane]

Well, I got sub 12 first try, so I would say so.

I started with the Eternal Rose and just rolled with what I got.

[rough kite]

3K crit on dad

[grave vector]

lost a SD, but i had so much healing from it that i got the perfect clear commendation anyway

[pallid iron]

Gods, this was a great run

I've never used Cast so heavily

All the boons lined up

Including Exit Wounds

I definitely made the right call taking Abyssal Blood for once, too

3 Titan Blood, 1 Diamond, and 2 Ambrosia, all in one run

[stark skiff]

this felt sooo good 😄

[pallid iron]

Nice Hades fight there

I see you used much the same tactic I did

But with less luck and massively more skill

[stark skiff]

think that was my quickest hades fight

[restive ether]

my third run under 30 minutes today woohoo

[lunar peak]

Got my first victory at last! Attempt 24 or 25, I'm not too sure. 11 HP and a dream!

[mellow eagle]

^ stubborn roots godsend

[lunar peak]

first time the game drops exactly the build i had in mind when i started the run

[misty steeple]

Heroic level 8 Drunk Flourish

[low blaze]

reached my 50 winstreak today :]

[low blaze]

also got this insane build for the gun,, beat the final boss in like 2 minutes :')

[slate geyser]

60 heat complete!

[kindred mesa]

@rigid quail thanks for the tips on this run

[rigid quail]

omg well done!!!

[barren vessel]

got all weps 40 heat! this was an absurd nemesis run, the damage was unreal

[slate flower]

Congrats! :D

Now, this is where the fun begins.

[lunar peak]

Thank you! There's definitely unfinished business (for me and Zag) so I'm not stopping any time soon :)

[slate flower]

Indeed! And soon enough, you can start diving into the pact of Punishment.

[frail pawn]

FIRST 16 heat after 6 tries

[slate flower]

Impressive! :D

Aspect of Zag spear is pretty good

[frail pawn]

11 minutes too

[slate flower]

Guan Yu is a favorite of mine, but I didn't start using it till I got it all the way up to Legendary status

[frail pawn]

thats a spoiler

hidden aspect

AND yes i do like ||guan yu|| too

oops

[slate flower]

Happens

[frail pawn]

POGGG

[slate flower]

Don't fret

[cedar idol]

oh my god hoooow

[slate geyser]

many hours and many attempts lol

[kindred mesa]

First 16 heat run, my run was setup in tartarus, i got all of the boons i relied on from there lol

[frail pawn]

nice

good job hydrolupous i also did my first 16 heat run an hour ago

[slate geyser]

wow, un-upgraded GY is tough stuff, well done

[frail pawn]

yeah

i couldnt even go inside of chaos gates

[kindred mesa]

wow congrats!

[slate flower]

Managed to get my streak up to 10!

Three wins today

[vapid sluice]

beat 50 heat but with kbm instead of controller!

[slate flower]

By the way, my third run of the day was the final Legendary Boon I needed!

[strange token]

50 heat arthur sword! All sword aspects done at 50+ heat 😄

[tired flicker]

first win on controller

I sold aphro legendary too, crazy rolls

[zenith bough]

Why get fully loaded if you have no cast?

[tired flicker]

I was hoping to sell it for meta, other two offerings were crit to armor and something else

nothing good so I was just being greedy

0 heat eris rail isn't fair so I was goofing around a bit trying to learn controller

[zenith bough]

True

[tired flicker]

ultra widescreen monitor looks weird on this game (different rig for the holidays)

[storm wagon]

speaking of "crazy rolls" i uh... did a thing?

[tired flicker]

you win! haha nice job

[brave fulcrum]

the poms were much sweeter

[slate flower]

50 Heat on ALL SWORDS?! You are insane.

[strange token]

Yup all swords thanks

[terse plover]

6/6 32, GY with Artemis start, RNGed into Aphro and Athena

[slate flower]

GY is probably my favorite aspect of the spear

When it's maxed, of course.

Otherwise, I avoid it like I avoid Drunken Dash

Also, I never really run the Arcon due to how I'm not really able to save my free hits until Phase 2.

And because I always prefer to have an emergency DD On standby, just in case Hades (or Styx) decides to give me a rough time

[brave fulcrum]

"What is a projectile" ft. Shocking Cloud build

also look at my athena attack damage

[rough kite]

Gilgamesh is kinda weird

[mellow eagle]

CRIT PARTAY!

[slate flower]

Gilgamesh is VERY weird

[rough kite]

especially painful in satyr tunnels

[zenith bough]

I only used gilgamesh for tidal dash, no idea what to do with it now

[barren vessel]

flood flare beo is super fun, got 40 heat

need to practice more w this aspect tho

[tame valve]

chaos special go brr brr

[solid totem]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/419723994309328906/791566106476806154/unknown.png

[barren vessel]

50 heat done! +2 dashes on AP2 was truly a godsend

[cunning pewter]

damnnnn @barren vessel

[winged maple]

omg I beat 8 heat with this horrible contradicting build

[brave fulcrum]

Hey good thing your special is zeus

And not arty

Arty can crit

And it will crit on you

[barren vessel]

does that actually happen?

[brave fulcrum]

Some peeps have tried

So yes

[winged maple]

How do you earn special victory borders btw?

[tough orchid]

house contractor sells them

[winged maple]

ohhhh

[tough orchid]

Fun run as a break from high heat... and ... this I had a huge PP

Hades melted

[brave fulcrum]

First win on switch >:D

[zenith bough]

what does the ambiguety bonus from bouldy mean?

[zenith bough]

is it an harder to play than on pc?

[brave fulcrum]

Yes and no? the framerate kind of dips on some places like when it turned to bullet hell but nothing I can't handle. It's more of controller thingy.

[tame shore]

it does nothing, it's a meme

[viscid crow]

Well this was a fun darkness farming run!

And this is how much Hades was worth. I can't do the math but thanks Chaos and Poseidon!

[kindred mesa]

jesus what is that win streak

[brave fulcrum]

I'm pretty sure some peeps have higher than mine lol

that was when I climb heats

it was my peak

[zenith bough]

my best is like 5 I think

maybe 4 idk

[rigid quail]

started the endboss fight at 18:51:18, if only he didnt hide every second it couldve been a sub 1min fight 😔

[quasi aurora]

Phew my first high heat clear! Actually timed out at Theseus with his stupid chariot, but made it 😄

[ember igloo]

Woah 3 hammers

And all of them delete close range enemies

Niiice

[quasi aurora]

lucky gamble with the anvil haha

[lunar peak]

Second win and first clear with the bow! Aspect of Chiron is no joke. Nice to see that my time was a little faster as well.

[zenith bough]

chiron gets much better if you upgrade it

[lunar peak]

Got it to Lv. 3 on the advice of some people here - very happy I did

Also snagged a hammer that gave my special additional arrows

[fossil valley]

cleared my very first run w the rail!! very fun :DD

[lunar peak]

Congrats!

[lavish kite]

2nd heat 32 win

[rough kite]

I still do not like spear in any form and I dont look forward to doing high heat with it

[regal sparrow]

my first 3-phase Hades kill and it's not even close 😎

https://youtu.be/ijpWKpNguSc

[brittle swallow]

my first win...and i did it with the 🅱️ow

[frail pawn]

dang thats a good build

[brittle swallow]

i just went "i wanna snipe"

and that daedelus thing that says oh your power shot is stronger carried me the whole run

[frail pawn]

daedelus hammer is op

[brittle swallow]

yeah

[rigid quail]

OOOO GG

[brittle swallow]

i was skeptical to use the daedelus forge on cerberus's floor

...i actually dont even remember what i gave up to get the other 2

but worth

i got relentless and point blank from it

smoldering air do be OP with artemis's call

just go p e w

[brittle swallow]

YEEEE B O I

[frail pawn]

love doing 6 heat runs

[outer thorn]

hahaha damage go zoom

[slate flower]

Hades got smashed.

[frail pawn]

wth

[slate flower]

Rocket Bomb+Cluster Bomb +Hangover+Doom= Death

[frail pawn]

• everything has a level

[slate flower]

Yeeep

I got the chaos boon which raised my chances of Boons to be Rare or better

Also got the one which gave me increased $$$

[frail pawn]

cool

on my first win

i got the daedulus boon for doing more dmg for the amount of coins you have

i got 1450+

coins

by 5%

[night bramble]

i got my first em4 clear guys! lets gooooo

[slate flower]

Congrats!

Beating Extreme Measures 4 is NO easy feat.

[night bramble]

it wasnt

i probably wouldve been dead without athena's call

[barren vessel]

yeah congrats, em4 is rough

[night bramble]

Thanks guys!

[grave vector]

fastest time yet! :D

[azure nacelle]

Personal best time for sword, all game with shacles

[stiff zenith]

Lol I just got a run with 65% dodge chance with Zagreus aspect malphon and lambent plume

[true hazel]

This is still a victory in my heart 😭

[slate flower]

I BEAT EM4 HADES!

I BEAT EM4 HADES ON MY FIRST TRY!

HE WASTED HIS CALL ON PHASE 2

LMAO

[lunar peak]

Back-to-back escapes and my first time using a heat modifier! Managed to get a blade rift build going, it was absolutely nuts and insanely fun. It's the first time I've felt OP in 27 attempts lol

[slate flower]

EM4 Build

[zenith bough]

Is that normal rockets or cluster rockets?

[merry imp]

oh that's cluster rockets

[slate flower]

This was my first try, too.

Oh my god.

[cedar idol]

im the idiot still playing w god mode but i finally got the 30 dmg from butterfly!

[tacit blaze]

No shame in using God Mode

[silk shard]

To all the people running medium-high heats with not-fully-upgraded weapons: Why?

[lunar peak]

why not

[frigid bay]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/600515209131589664/791801611726618624/unknown.png first fatty W 13 hours in :)

[viscid crow]

Congrats!

[frigid bay]

third time making it to final boss too :)

[lunar peak]

sord gang

[frigid bay]

I literally just get lost in the sauce, I use whatever weapon has bonus darkness lol

[cedar idol]

Congrats dude

[true hazel]

It's getting tougher to climb the heat ladder but I still got lots of room to improve, I got slightly better at dodging, but I got too used to bouldy so I hold back on meg too much...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRZHaxquuAk&feature=youtu.be
edit: this was probably my most epic victory against the deadline yet.

[drifting sluice]

Whenever I get dark thirst on the fists I know my record will be beaten one way or another HEHSSIBS

[slow stream]

Aspect of Demeter

[strange token]

45 heat lucifer

[glacial acorn]

16 HEAT WOOOOO

I now have 100% achievements

[strange token]

45 heat zag spear

[simple zenith]

that HP tho

kind of a thicc boi

[lunar peak]

Such excellent utilization of your Aspect's qualities.

[strange token]

[ruby mist]

Yeah, uh, I feel like you wanted Achilles spear, not Zag spear

[simple zenith]

well

the good zag spear players

realize that special is a trap

:^)

[harsh hollow]

Good players realize that spear is a trap :^)

Im kidding. Actually kinda like hades aspect

[strange token]

45 heat poseidon sword. Super fast EM4 clear 😮

[brave fulcrum]

Finally did a completely boonless run

[strange token]

45 heat beo shield

[harsh hollow]

How does one do a boonless run

[lunar peak]

avoid boons

[tacit blaze]

Avoid boons rooms, sell boons if you're forced into them, avoid using them if you have them until they can be sold

[lunar peak]

disable dark foresight, use fated authority

[rough kite]

throw away darkness farming run that sorta ended well

[strange token]

45 heat hades spear

[night bramble]

hell yeah hades aspect represent

[glacial acorn]

This Chiron run sort of blew:

Basically both hammers I got were ones for attack that made getting the target you want for special harder to do

And then when I used the anvil in Styx, it gave me another attack hammer that still didn't work well on Chiron

Relentless Volley would've been better if I got Concentrated Volley

[pallid iron]

Ranged fist, ranged fist, ranged fist!

I even got the achievement for getting the Lambent Plume above 20% Dodge Chance

Barely.

By beating Hades fast enough

[strange token]

45 heat zeus shield

[shadow helm]

Meme'd with Splash Dash Gil, got a PB for Fists as well
*edit: not pictured: Epic Greatest Reflexes

[strange token]

45 heat guan yu! streak is back up to 5

[azure rapids]

finally got around to doing a 32 heat clear! zag shield is neat now

[shadow kite]

was dealing 1462 dmg for my attack at one point

[barren vessel]

zag sword 32 done

was more fun and better than i expected after arty attack and extra dashes, but i just played it like a budget nemesis anyways lol

[zenith bough]

Do you ever not play zag sword like a budget nemesis?

Unless you are doing something like cursed slash flurry jab I guess

[barren vessel]

i have no clue how u play zag sword honestly

i just played it like i would nemesis

[upper coral]

hey there was this one time I did a magnet + poseidon knock back run that was incredible

[grave vector]

i love playing zag shield with deadly strike and pulverizing blow. also, crystal beam is the best

[zenith bough]

You always dash strike and replace the last attack of the combo by a special iirc

Same thing as nemesis anyway

[night bramble]

that's its bros, i've finished playing hades

[lavish kite]

finished?

youre on 13 heat

oh the clears

didnt even see lmao

[blazing bluff]

look at his clear count, its 👌

Speaking of nice. New Chiron WR on my 69th bow clear

[night bramble]

lol

oh damn

this is your chance to fill up stygian till malphon 69 across

[keen charm]

poseidon sword memes for xmas

[night bramble]

lmao

[night bramble]

first em4 with shield

[viscid crow]

Grats! Is Artemis special on Zeus good?

[zenith bough]

It should be

I never tried but it seems like one of the better ones for zeus

[viscid crow]

I always use Zeus special and just buff lightning.

[zenith bough]

I tried zeus once and it not really like it

I might do it again but there is so much stuff I would rather play

[viscid crow]

I love it xD

[zenith bough]

Chiron and beowulf are my favourites for now

[regal sparrow]

got two-sack, two npcs and tonns of steroids from Hermes and Zeus but still slow by speedrunners' standards, sigh

[night bramble]

@viscid crow super good especially if you have heart rend

[round cedar]

welp. i beat the game in 32 heat with every weapons! surprisingly my easiest run was with the spear of GUAN YU

[night bramble]

what was your build for guan yu?

[round cedar]

DIO attack. Aphro special. fast spinning attack from hammer. Cast was ares but it was useless

[night bramble]

oh so you went for low tolarance?

[round cedar]

nope. i didnt even have a duo boon. i kept the acorn for bosses the whole run.

[night bramble]

so you just beefed up your teir 1 boons

[round cedar]

only lost one life and on the bull of minos alone... he suddenly got a combo on me out of nowhere. Other than that the whole run was fine

[night bramble]

noice

[round cedar]

i'm surprised at how good Guan Yu can be 😮 it's becoming one of my fav weapon

[night bramble]

is the lifesteal that good once you can get used to the spin attack?

[round cedar]

Its good if you get the good hammer for it. Fast spinning attack and size+power increase

[night bramble]

ah yes the massive quick spin combo

my day would peak if i get those two

[rigid quail]

i'm sad your current streak isnt 4, wouldve made it a perfect run 😟

[torpid jungle]

finally finished the story! (didnt have the immunity until chapter end of chapter 3, but made the game so much easier)

[regal sparrow]

didn't get two npcs and only had one chaos

thus it went kind of slow

[obsidian basin]

Sure, many of you have defeated Hades for the first time. But I defeated him for the first time TWICE! (thanks to a PC blue screen right after the First first time).

[cedar idol]

good god

[rough kite]

no hunting blades no problem

[lethal halo]

Untouchable. 15% dodge, 15% dodge, 27.6% dodge, 50% dodge for 2 sec after near miss.

[analog canyon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/280879367037517826/792101082112852028/Hades_101.png

😎

[mild locust]

I did manage to deal >4900 dmg on a single hit... poor Asterius.

[lethal halo]

For shame. You should have hit Theseus for >4900 dmg.

[royal current]

my 40 heat all aspects journey has begun. This became a tank build lmao. Hades like barely scratched me and my DDs healed to full thanks to touch of styx

[ember igloo]

Why is your FF on 5%?

[royal current]

that just shows how much damage it gives per boon, not overall

[ember igloo]

Oh

Lulz, never looked at it before

[ember igloo]

Yeye, I know what it does, just never looked at it on the victory screen

Didn't someone say FF is broken?

[lunar peak]

its better than ps

I disagree, PS is easy enough to proc that except maybe speedrunning it's the stronger more consistent option.

I'll take the 15% additive damage L for consistency any day

[simple zenith]

if it were 50% thatd be something to consider

but it aint

so FF is staying on 🤷‍♂️

[royal current]

when you speedrun accidentally

[torpid dome]

winter harvest killed him and like it gave a voice line which shocked and i was so confused at first

[mint wraith]

I just tanked the hell outta hades with like 58% dodge and 20% damage reduction while constantly healing with draining cutter

[tacit blaze]

That's awesome, congrats!

[dense cape]

My first 32 heat escape on Hell mode! That last Skelly statue is totally worth it!
Got incredibly lucky with Daedalus and a 2 sack to mantain the Touch of Styx Dark that I got from mah man Patroclus ❤️

[kindred sluice]

Dear Hades that felt fast, new personal speed record!

part 2

[frigid bay]

a lot better than my sord run

[kindred sluice]

ooh, nice!

[barren vessel]

got all aspects to 32 heat! guan yu was my last one

[kindred sluice]

ooh, I love Massive + Quick spin

[barren vessel]

yeah its so fun on guan yu

[pine tinsel]

Final boss hitting me for about 6 damage a swing.

[slow stream]

Aspect of Poseidon

[pine tinsel]

V. nice, with Athena dash the reversal is pressure points on steroids.

[lunar peak]

AAAAA I just peat bone hydra but my game crashed right after 😔

[strange token]

45 heat demeter fists! Super quick EM4 run

[night bramble]

first em4 clear with sword ye

[strange token]

45 heat gilgamesh

[barren vessel]

drunken strike?? interesting

[lime bane]

@kindred sluice congratulations. When is sub 15?

I just need two more to finish sub 12 all aspects.

[kindred sluice]

no idea :3 right now my focus is on D&D and starting Pyre

[serene rose]

YOOOO IM LIKE ACTUALLY SHAKING SO BAD

[kindred sluice]

woohoo!!!

[lime bane]

Zagius and Zagratha.

[serene rose]

30 runs later... god my heart was pounding so hard it was making my whole body shake
AND I recorded it too because I had a great feeling as I finished styx

[lime bane]

You still had a DD. Looks like you were doing good.

[serene rose]

thanks!!! I didnt even have my deflect dash. maybe thats a sign I relied on it too much

[lime bane]

Still the #1 dash pick for me.

[night bramble]

lets see that recording!

[serene rose]

Let me find somewhere to upload it to and yeah!! I'm sorry if it looks like my gameplay is subpar, I've never played anything like this so my style is "spam and pray"

[night bramble]

hey don't worry about it, as long as you enjoy playing it you re doing great!

[simple zenith]

finally did this thing. hestia is pretty chill

[simple zenith]

blade dash start again?

[night bramble]

first em4 win with rail, i lost 3 dd in elysium like an idiot and had to scramble to get 2 from well. i thought i was dead 😭

[blazing bluff]

7:42 Zag Spear

[tender scaffold]

1 HP victory. Heart was beating so fast it felt like I was doing a 30-mins cardio session.

[spare pine]

32 heat baby

[true hazel]

It's fun to play something that doesn't require any thought, for a change.

[serene rose]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/16lbqeBa6-C_iDRbvacMXoZtwPjksdT8D/view?usp=drivesdk
Sorry the quality got busted, but here's that recording. 6 minutes of the most stressful experience of my life lol

[rigid quail]

how did i actually make it with just 1DD in the endfight

[round sapphire]

Beaten daddy hades on EM for the first time

I did not expect it to be that chaotic

[lunar peak]

I didn't use any DDs on the final boss, but then again I didn't have any heat because it was the first time @rigid quail

[rigid quail]

i suck with the weapon aspect and aphro so it was a real surprise that styx took 2 of my DDs and i still made it

[lunar peak]

I liked using the Eris aspect

[true hazel]

@serene rose well earned victory

[wet hill]

god thats such a perfect run

i didnt play the game for like 2 weeks or something came back to it couldnt beat it at 8 heat and i just did it on 9

[shell rapids]

Finally! Took 30 hours but I got my first clear. So pleased.

[gentle jacinth]

fastest run till now and most enjoyable

its weird how a single duo boon turns a crappy cast to most op one in the game

[winged maple]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/639584656685269023/792495281530732594/unknown.png?width=865&height=487

I am speed!

[ember igloo]

RI3? But why

Well done anyway

[winged maple]

mhh?

[night bramble]

i can feel stress through the screen lmao, good job playing it safe at the end there

[crystal knoll]

First win!

82 tries 😐

[slate flower]

You got a win, that's what matters.

[strange token]

45 heat zag sword! big hoarding slash damage

[strange token]

45 heat rama bow

[leaden oak]

first try on EM Hades THIS WAS FKING SICK
even tho i didn't get a beating as hard as i thought this was incredibly cool

what made the fight even more intense was that i only had 1:30 mins to beat his third phase

[strange token]

45 heat zag bow

[silk shard]

@strange token You are a machine! How do you do it?

[strange token]

thanks! I just play a lot of high heat

[barren vessel]

finally got 45 achilles with an absurd attack build lol

was tempted to reset for flurry in tartarus but got flurry in elysium anyway so it worked out

[primal mist]

I did the thing

[strange token]

45 heat zag fists

[pine tinsel]

No great damage combos came together, definitely limped over the finish line on this EM4.

[simple zenith]

whats the largest thrust crit you saw haha

im so curious

[strange token]

not sure actually, I think 500+

[simple zenith]

i lost

[strange token]

45 heat achilles spear

[topaz light]

first win pog

[pure valley]

Congrats!

[finite cove]

Hit my first 36 heat

[steady shuttle]

Is a sign from the gods! hahahahahah

[prime mirage]

https://i.imgur.com/o8fZPHd.jpg

4 out of 6 weapons at 32 heat

[torpid dome]

i thought ap would screw me cause it made me switch either my dash which was athena's or my special but since i had more in zeus stuff i went with getting rid of athena and lucky a combo of boldy and detemeter's call killed him with me on my last dd

[frigid bay]

now this is gaming

5 mins for styx + hades fight, quick favor + artemis aid could be a build all on its own with how much damage it put out

[upper cedar]

beat the game for the first time today - run 21, used the Spear, and then I got two immediately after, though I used the Shield, and the shield IS broken, hehe

had Ares' trinket on all 3. Doom is so so good!

[night bramble]

@upper cedar try using some ares duo and doom is basically broken

[tardy magnet]

Y'all crazy with this 50+ heat business. GGs

[simple zenith]

45 heat all weaps complete! quest for 50 all weaps begins once i get the urge to run nemesis again

[lime bane]

All weapons sub 12 and 250 clears.

[brave fulcrum]

gj

I could never get more than sub 16

[lunar peak]

This had no right to be as fast as it was LOL

NONE

[lime bane]

@brave fulcrum thanks!

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/667757296218013729/792716175372845066/unknown.png

Have Shotgun, Will Blast face off

[barren vessel]

45 shield done! now just sword and fists

[sweet sparrow]

Good sign if you end the rat without procing Death Defiance

Excalibur OP Nerf Divine Projection

[tender dragon]

Excalibur supremacy

[sweet sparrow]

When the build I was making led to the third slash dealing 420 Damage and deflecting projectiles like a boss...

[tender dragon]

oh the Excalibur third slash can easily hit 4 digit numbers

WITHOUT artemis

[sweet sparrow]

I can tell

But the fact I was constantly landing 420s left and right...

[tender dragon]

it can be very tricky on high heat but it counters hard labor and forced overtime quite well

[sweet sparrow]

Also Shield Aid + Smoldering Air + Quick Favor equals constant projection

Mix that all with an Damage Boosting Build and Excali-Greyskull and it was fun as hell

[rough kite]

scrappy chaos shield that somehow worked

[zenith bough]

learning FO2. I totally deserved that win

I would also like to point out the great synergy between greater recall and lightning rod. It is also very ethical to have 6 casts with mirage shot and greater recall on poseidon.

[lunar peak]

I've said that Zeus/Artemis should get another Duo many-a-time before (not least because unless you've got an absolute bum Cast build GR is so so so much stronger), but we're not getting Freak Accident back.

[zenith bough]

yeah, lightning rod is alright if you are stacking zeus anyway, but in this case I was pretty much forced into taking it

[thorny warren]

This was a fun one, with hunting blades :

[chilly siren]

Not the greatest build, but it did the job

Attack, spam special until the aim unlocks, repeat

Also it was my first time facing Hades with the bow

[spare pine]

MONEY

[ember igloo]

What did freak accident do?

[lunar peak]

20 damage lightning strike on crit.

This was also when Hunter's Mark was super busted, it applied to the target you crit and did not expire when one landed.

So with Pressure Point and HM you had a monster crit machine build against literally everything in the game.

I once got some Hunting Blades waaay back in EA, like May 2019, with this set-up and the Heroes just ate lightning bolts for the duration of the Blade Rifts.

[ember igloo]

PP seems a bit underwhelming atm

I think it would benefit from a rework

[lunar peak]

It's pommable and universal crit chance is super super strong.

[ember igloo]

Yeah but it starts on 2% common

[lunar peak]

I think since Splitting Headache was nerfed it can go back to 3% at common and scale from there, but it's not a weak boon by any stretch.

[ember igloo]

If it was just flat 5% I would like it more

[lunar peak]

It's not Clean Kill, for one.

Make it non-pommable and have a higher base chance?

[ember igloo]

Yes

It would also be a natural 20 crit on 5%

[lunar peak]

Maybe I'm just salty at Pillars of Eternity beating me black and blue, but I'm not big on DnD mechanics in a more action-heavy game.

Even if that's just like, a cameo of DnD.

This conversation should also move to builds and combat if we're to continue it.

[brittle timber]

Just as i thought Zeus shield manages AP2 just fine, though it was quite lenient to me this time

[slate flower]

That's a lot of Health.

[true hazel]

Even Grandma isn't safe from Zeus' unhealthy fixation

[dim ledge]

FIRST WIN woo

[mint iron]

Nice

That’s a really good time too lol

[dim ledge]

really did not feel like I was going to win this run, I was doing no damage and did not like frozen attack at all

[mint iron]

I’ve beaten it around 20 times and my best time is 22 minutes

[dim ledge]

im zooming

i need to learn how to use other weapons, ive just been spamming dash strike eternal spear lol

[mint iron]

I’ve been experimenting with other weapons and my new favorite is the fists

[dim ledge]

think i got really lucky with support shot + serrated point + extra dash strike damage

[mint iron]

I used shield before and spear before that

[dim ledge]

I used sword and bow then fell in love with spear

[edgy axle]

I like the fists more

[mint iron]

I have done a single run with bow and I beat it with 8hp and no death defiances

Never again

[edgy axle]

Nice

[mint iron]

The bow isn’t very good imo

[dim ledge]

lmfao, i mean i just beat it with 29 hp and 0 death defiances

[mint iron]

I just got lucky with boons

[dim ledge]

I would say that bow helped with my first clear of fury sisters

[mint iron]

The first boss is hard with fists because you can’t stun lock them and don’t have very many upgrades at that point

But the rest are pretty easy

[dim ledge]

maybe ill try some fists next

[mint iron]

They’re a lot of fun to use

You go fast

Get the aspect that makes the special pull enemies in btw

[dim ledge]

what build do you like going?

[mint iron]

That’s the best one I’ve tried so far

[dim ledge]

woah i get 3 death defiances now?

[mint iron]

I like to get doom on attack and either crit or lingering effect boons on special

Yup

[dim ledge]

game should be a bit easier now

[mint iron]

On my one and only spear win I used 5 death defiances because Patroclus refilled me

[dim ledge]

lmfao that works

to be fair my dad was veryyyy close to killing me

oh i guess this is what heat is huh

[mint iron]

I always try to go ham on him with the fists and end up playing more carefully and barely winning when I realize I’m about to die lol

If I were you I’d go with tight deadline for 1 heat, that’s usually the easiest especially with how fast you’re going

[dim ledge]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[mint iron]

Then do extreme measures and that for 2 heat

[dim ledge]

if I do the first floor in under 9 minutes does the time pass over to the next floor?

[tacit blaze]

It does, yes

[dim ledge]

oh this seems pretty simple then

[wet robin]

another kind of victory boasting

[dim ledge]

...you beat the game in 5 hours?

???????

[wet robin]

lol nah switch cross save

all achievements

[dim ledge]

lmfaoo i really expected some speedrunning prodigy

that makes more sense

[wet robin]

im pretty sure it'd be impossible to 100% the entire game in 5 hours

[ruby mist]

Yeah, I was impressed you beat the game in 5 hours

[wet robin]

speedrunners quaking in their boots

[woeful timber]

could have been better but, loved this build

[severe lotus]

this must be the most absurd build I ever had. I took Exclusive Access early and then forced the heartbreak strike. It was basically free win

[tender dragon]

40 heat clear done!!

[lunar peak]

Got my first Shield clear. Wasn't really clicking with the weapon the previous times I've used it but Aspect of Zeus is insanely fun. Just wish I could have got the Zeus/Poseidon duo that I was shooting for.

[prime mirage]

https://i.imgur.com/Ys9qMuZ.jpg
yes first try 40 heat !

[lunar peak]

Dang how are you getting 8 minute clears? I was thrilled I got my best down to 28 minutes from 36 but yours is on another level

[strange token]

45 heat Eris. All of the death defiances!

[strange token]

45 heat hera bow

[simple zenith]

is infernal trippy flare kind of awkward?

[strange token]

not really no, flowed pretty well with flurry shot

I usually spread them out

[finite fjord]

shattered shackle build - suprisingly fun tbh

if you haven't given it a chance, i'd really recommend it

also new best time :3

[zinc lintel]

Absolutely dumb stupid run I did not deserve getting

Almost perfect boons and got Heart Rend before finishing up Asphodel

[frail pilot]

2 more for all sub ten but that will be rough 😭

[remote wolf]

New record, no god calldown

[strange token]

45 heat zag shield

[strange token]

45 heat zag spear

[strange token]

45 heat chiron bow. Pretty bad build overall, didn't get offered any of the good chiron hammers or a call

[frigid bay]

was aiming for heart rend instead the game gave me unhealthy fixation, shaved 50 seconds off my last bow run though

[molten grove]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/267660008911667202/792961566458642442/unknown.png new pb got no one to share with so sharing with the discord

[lunar peak]

got dam

[barren vessel]

very nice, congrats

[strange token]

45 heat hades spear

[barren vessel]

didnt realize but since ive barely played this aspect, this is my first 40 heat clear w eris

4 sack prevented it from being sub 15, but whatever, it happens

[kindred sluice]

Nice!!

[midnight moat]

My first clear, just picked this game up yesterday

[kindred sluice]

Congrats

[midnight moat]

It was good for clearing however, it's single target was extremely lackluster :D

And ty, Swan ^^

Oh, and i might like this game a bit too much :)

[lunar peak]

https://i.redd.it/hr34ld4iqlg21.jpg

congrats tho

[proper tide]

First time clearing

[lunar peak]

Crystal clarity first clear gang

[barren vessel]

wasnt recording, but got a sub 12 at 40 heat

[terse plover]

First sub 12... barely

[tacit blaze]

Congrats!

[rancid pasture]

First win

[shut gorge]

GOT IM

Bizarre, I wasn't trying at all for any build, I just wanted to talk to Patroclus for Achilles

[brave fulcrum]

First win at 7th run in hell mode

[ember igloo]

New pb on 32

[kindred sluice]

nice!

[remote wolf]

It's humbling being proud of myself for winning by the skin of my teeth and then seeing twelve minute runs

[kindred sluice]

you should be proud of yourself for winning!

[kindred sluice]

did somebody call for some lightning? Get it? Because I don't have Zeus' Call?

[rancid pasture]

Second win ever,first one with any heat

[kindred sluice]

woohoo!

nicely done

ooh, interesting first choice of heat

[rancid pasture]

I managed to buy a diamond in Styx before even defeating Hades so it was a easy choice

[shell mango]

hey guys

today i bet hades for first time

im so happy

[mighty pawn]

first W ever

i rly enjoyed the build

[kindred sluice]

Nice!!

[mighty pawn]

thank you^^

[shell mango]

here's the win

[fleet sundial]

One hell of a run (EM4 is hard, i'm proud of me , i only used 1 DD)

(Btw it's my 100th attempt)

[uneven kettle]

this might be the best run I have ever done

[neon saddle]

2nd win ever boys

[uneven kettle]

ayy nice dude :D

I killed the final boss in less than 2 minutes, I dealt 3000 per dash strike

it was incredible

[rancid pasture]

Third win baby

[cloud pumice]

Easiest run of my life

[uneven kettle]

BACK TO BACK CHAMPION BABY

[north bluff]

WOOOOO

Now to do it without god mode

Plus I got the nice health number

[cloud pumice]

Yay!

[zenith bough]

merciful end on chiron works suprisingly well

[midnight moat]

ended the fight with more hp than i started it with lol

[fleet sundial]

First run sub 18

[pallid iron]

Some people complain that runs are won or lost based on luck. In reality, the player has a massive amount of control over the risks they take, and enough flexibility to roll with the punches.

That being said, this was a really lucky run.

Fated Keys is one of the main reasons I never run Dark Foresight. The extra dice are truly game-changing.

[zenith bough]

70 bonus damage from hoarding slash sounds pretty good

it applies before the %increase from attack boons, right?

[eager roost]

first tiem

[spare pine]

I'm here just to see the different themes

no need to put it as spoiler

[royal current]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/771815559410876446/793190575477489664/unknown.png my new best RTA run, world record is like mid 14 minutes to put this into perspective

also finally sub 8 beowulf this run, 7:47

[frigid bay]

5 sack added like 4 mins :(

[frigid bay]

first sub 18 :)

[cloud pumice]

Why is my blitz disc faster than my eris

[fleet sundial]

EM4 was easy like this

[midnight moat]

i had no clue you could have more than 1 duo, let alone 3 of them lmao

[magic iron]

four duos

[arctic plume]

I didn’t expect to win with specials but in the end by holding down I did like multiple thousands of damage per throw

[uncut aurora]

New PB!!

[worn barn]

Wahoo!.. 100% Steam Cheevies 😄

[dense cape]

A little bit over the deadline
Forgot how good Calculated Risk (Dionysus & Athena Duo) is against Hades, definitely saved me a lot of damage

[buoyant wing]

I beat hades with no boons

[strange token]

45 heat zeus shield

[worn barn]

Nice

first time i ever beat EM4 Dad

second attempt at it, first time i went into it i had like 7 HP and no Death Defiance

this time i had like 2 DDs?

anyway hooooooooly naughty words

[strange token]

45 heat chaos shield

[lunar peak]

Oh, dang, you're doing this in Hell Mode.

[mossy wadi]

http://puu.sh/H1Mz8/02b50ad1c8.jpg

[trim kiln]

Wow that's awesome!

[mossy wadi]

This just in: the (nearly) perfect Smoldering Air build helps some guy do 16 heat faster than ever.

Also 45 heat on chaos shield holy heck

[trim kiln]

Today I beat 32 heat with Rail and Bow for the first time, forgot to post the bow one earlier but just did the rail run - was a really tight run that only came together in styx, honestly I nearly gave up in Elysium between playing sloppy and rng hating me but styx really gave me the goods, basically all the good stuff here came from styx, except the rare crop on my attack.

[zinc veldt]

Second Nemesis Sword Run, First Nemesis Sword Win

I wasn’t going for sweet nectar but I got it anyway so I just took it

[mossy wadi]

@strange token Forgive the ping, but what was the hardest Pact condition in your opinion in that 45 heat run?

[strange token]

Extreme measures 4, definitely

[mossy wadi]

Hmm. Good to know.

[zinc veldt]

I hate extreme measures 2

[mossy wadi]

tbh I want to play with FO 2 and EM 4 just to get used to them, yeah

[zinc veldt]

I mean it’s not hard

But it makes lernie a pain

[strange token]

45 heat guan yu! No DD lost

[strange token]

45 heat nemesis sword

[midnight moat]

You really like running 45 heat runs don't you? :D

[strange token]

Yup 🙂

[midnight moat]

I play 0 heat runs to farm darkness to get more rerolls, legenadries & duos 😎

[brave fulcrum]

2nd win on hell mode

Still no aspect upgrade

[strange token]

45 heat talos fists. 10-streak achieved!

[ancient gulch]

Did a no olympian shield run for fun and ended up winning

[calm tangle]

First clear

[tacit blaze]

First 32 clear in the bag!

[cobalt barn]

Sub 12 and a good one at that

[barren vessel]

sub 10 spear clear, half the weapons done

[heavy dragon]

I finally won one! The pic is so blurry it’s useless but my print screen didn’t save :/ none the less!!!!!

[brave fulcrum]

Nice

[rotund kayak]

DAMN GG

471 health tho

[tacit blaze]

You can press F11 if you're playing on PC to automatically save a screenshot instead of using print screen

[rotund kayak]

I always get out with 20-250

[brave fulcrum]

Last time I had over 40 min run, I went to sleep right after

[clear moss]

bulllied Thanatos today

[brave fulcrum]

Parting shot with no cast

[clear moss]

lmaoo

I kept getting demeter so it would be null if I get one sigh

[flat trout]

https://prnt.sc/wc16mn

not a dash only build but pretty close by the end

6 dashes + 90% additive damage from ruthless and PS = very fun sea storm

[heavy dragon]

Literally getting ready for bed rn lol

[brave fulcrum]

Lmao

[north bluff]

First Heat Victory

The Heat was the one that gives all enemies an extra hit

[rotund kayak]

GG!

Wow you got rama early though

[north bluff]

I pretty much entirely invested into the bow

[rotund kayak]

Chiron and rama are maxed for me

[north bluff]

It's my favorite weapon by far

[rotund kayak]

Those are two of my favorite aspects

Chiron especially

It was so good during early runs

[north bluff]

Hera's was fun until I accidentally screwed myself over by switching from Dionysus cast to Demeter Cast

Hera and Demeter do not combo well

[rotund kayak]

yea that's not a good combo...

The only real benefit is that the crystal beam can be placed at a farther range

[north bluff]

I'm surprised I managed to do it without an Aid. Usually I use Aids as a quick dodge for attacks like Hades's lasers.

Or without the Strong Drink. I've never even made it to the final boss without it

[rotund kayak]

Poseidon's is the best aid by far. Demeter is a close second bc the greater call is really good

[north bluff]

Also, do fish spawn in the Persephone area? Or am I wasting my time wandering around it?

[rotund kayak]

They do

Occasionally

||but there will be a point where you can no longer enter it and the fish that spawn there spawn in the hades arena instead||

[cedar hatch]

my first EM4 clear

I feel so damn hyped rn

[soft obsidian]

hades victory boasting

[rancid pasture]

And another one

[tardy reef]

First win !

[spare pine]

first guan-yu clear EM4 btw

[jade pier]

my first time with the time limit punishment!

[rancid pasture]

It felt ironic that I didnt clear with the starter weapon

Time to turn up the heat tbh

[ember igloo]

Eh, take it slow, build up to 16

When you're confident, start going up to 32 and higher

The difficulty jump from 16 to 32 is a lot worse than 0 to 16 while 32 to 40 is even worse

[royal viper]

yes it's god mode, but still. very happy with my second win's set. dionysius/demeter combo is a force to be reckoned with

[tender scaffold]

dang, 2 hits away from no-hit final boss kill

[brave fulcrum]

It turned me from little hope to EXPLOSIOOOOOON

[spare pine]

the streak grows

[shy leaf]

heh, beat Hades without dying thanks to using Draining Cutter on his projectiles to heal myself

[spare pine]

and grows

[zenith bough]

16 heat done. meg+artemis greater call are a huge burst of damage

[shy leaf]

Crit machine

[winged maple]

YES YES YES

[fleet sundial]

Pb

[midnight moat]

It was very different playing sword for a change :)

oh, and fish can spawn in the boss arena apparantly

[mint iron]

Yeah there’s 2 or 3 spots they can spawn in

[rotund kayak]

Yup

They can also spawn in Greece

When you have access to that area 🥲

[dark elk]

after god knows how many attempts, I got my first win using a weapon I don't use as much as I should

[mint iron]

Wait how did you use heat on your first run lol

[dark elk]

oh, I did Hell mode or whatever it's called

[midnight moat]

Yeah, they spawned there a coupleof times :)

[obsidian depot]

||I caught a bass, I think it gave me an ambrosia||

[rotund kayak]

GG on second wave

[midnight moat]

@obsidian depot ye, it does i did the same a couple of times

[rotund kayak]

Definitely one of the better legendary boons

[dark elk]

honestly made the end game so trivial. I'd lob a rocket and just watch everyone bounce around.

[rotund kayak]

||Trout = Diamond, Bass = Ambrosia, Sturgeon = Titan Blood||

[midnight moat]

How do you spoiler mark messages?

[dark elk]

I think it's || on both sides of a message

||like this||

[rotund kayak]

My most recent victory

Somehow got lucky with legendary and duo boons but vicious cycle didn't do much bc I got it last minute

[torn zinc]

Poseidon runs be like:

[steady oriole]

Aspect of Guan Yu is RIDIC

I beat it Darkness Free

62/173 HP

[rotund kayak]

Splitting bolt 🔥

[torn zinc]

Honestly that run had one of the most ridiculous calls by the end. Zeus's aid put in so much work

[brittle timber]

Zeus shield carrying my ass once again

Also another kinda lenient AP2

[spare pine]

sea storm and splitting bolt DO stack

and the streak lives on

[finite cove]

Havent like gone in with heavy planning or know much in the way of strategy, but pretty darn happy with my new run time record

[foggy ginkgo]

this build was BUSTED, that is all

[rotund kayak]

Blizzard shot is BASED 🔥

[dark elk]

can confirm, || Guan Yu's Trident thing|| is ridic

[strange token]

45 heat poseidon sword

[rotund kayak]

Goated 🔥

[strange token]

45 heat achilles spear (first time ever getting curse of drowning to work)

[zenith bough]

Is the duration of CoD long enough to make stygian soul worthwhile?

[strange token]

with the extra cast, they both come off cooldown as soon as the duration is done

[zenith bough]

Isn't it better not to take stygian then? The crystals drop right on top of you, so there is not really any real quality of life loss

[strange token]

I wasn't really planning for it in the first place but maybe you're right

[midnight moat]

I got Exclusive Access as the very last boon of my run

[strange token]

45 heat gilgamesh

[steel hill]

Twin Fists + Lambert Plume just helped me net my first win at run 18! I’m super proud of this lol

[brave fulcrum]

how many stacks did you get?

also gj and congrats

I guess you weren't lucky enough to get more dodge chance

[gentle jacinth]

most fun build till now , Thanks @silk wadi for telling me about it

[mighty marlin]

decided to go 100% into a Dionysus special build and shoving as many poms into it as i could and well i was dealing around 250 tick damage on the boss i think ahahaha
also somehow got a new time record with it as well, my first sub 20 woot woot

[finite robin]

very cool

[trail shore]

Not sure where to put this but you know you goofed when someone like Poseidon doesn't wanna associate himself with you

[strange token]

Find everything wrong with this picture

(loaded an early access save in the middle of a run)

[brave fulcrum]

the fact you even finish astonish me

[trail shore]

Gdi I lost to Hades because I gambled on a Daedalus anvil and didn't have enough HP

[lunar peak]

L E V E L 2 D O U B L E E D G E (Feat. Level 2 Poseidon Aspect ... which is at +10% damage ?!?)

Triple hammer without anvil wot

Nevermind the mess that is Relative Speed

Wait a minute : Why does it only show one death defiance orb

When the mirror should make you see at 'least 3

Should be 3 empty slots dammit

Also God's Pride and the Rare equivalent were stronger, oh lord

Also wait a minute, Middle Management shows a 2 ?

Fists are just G O N E

Finally, what is that keepsake ?

You could infinitely stack DDs before a certain point.

That's Harpy Feather Duster, it's Dusa's current keepsake.

Relative Speed is an old Hermes Legendary.

[strange token]

I recorded the fight against Hades on this run, it is extremely cursed

[lunar peak]

woosh

[lunar peak]

I kinda want to see it

[strange token]

I'll upload it then

[cold wyvern]

i did it

Carried by Zeus call + increase dmg after call + beams

[magic relic]

Technically my first win, but my computer crashed immediately afterwards and I lost the fight upon redoing it, so I have no proof of it or the boons I used besides the screenshot here

[cold wyvern]

Gratz

[magic relic]

24 runs, have seen Hades 3 times, only beaten him that one time.

But at least I'm getting better!

[cold wyvern]

Hope u get it

[strange token]

I posted it in #self-promotion

[lunar peak]

... I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

double edge lv2 is sending me

[rapid saddle]

Fourth win! Daedalus Hazard Bomb on Exagryph is fun

oh i guess its the fifth win

[kindred gull]

GUESS WHO JUST CAUGHT A VOIDSKATE

[lunar peak]

G R E E N B O O N

[nimble terrace]

i feel stronk tonight

that railgun one was actually so gross

oops

melted through ||hades|| so fast

im also currently a big fan of turret cast demeter

[fleet sundial]

Ok this build was OP

[radiant jungle]

nutty zeus call spam build with nemesis blade (also didnt lose any DDs in em4)

[glass orchid]

First sub 9 run

[oblique ore]

Trying a new aspect

[north bluff]

So I upgraded my Rail and wanted to encounter Zeus and then die.

So I turned off God Mode

I didn't encounter him. But I did complete it

Also, I had never completed it before on Heat 0 with the rail.

So then I tried it on Heat 0....

[surreal thicket]

39 clear win streak in Hell Mode, with each clear being a higher heat bounty. I lost it for the first time yesterday attempting EM4 Final Boss. 😭

[oblique ore]

Trying another aspect lol, and also trying to get some achievements and 1st skelly statue(? trophy(? idk what it is

[fleet sundial]

Ok this is the most broken build i've ever made

[floral tinsel]

really enjoying this game so far

[trim kiln]

My most outrageously dominant win over EM4 ever I think, and generally probably my strongest ever run. Turns out Blade Rifts are kinda good if you have every single possible synergy for them. (Also had cast speed from hermes and bigger rifts, and pressure points so they could crit...)

[frigid bay]

Lightning Lawnmower was a success, cant wait to never use Lucifer Aspect again

[misty epoch]

Needless to say, this was a victory

@trim kiln how is your darkness so low for having done so many runs?

[trim kiln]

That's just how much darkness is spent in the mirror

[misty epoch]

ah makes sense

[midnight moat]

finally beat the game with every weapon

[cloud pumice]

First sub12, even though there was a 3sac and I've literally never used a companion lmao

[frigid bay]

cut 10 mins off my last shield run

[livid niche]

First win. Totally a god-run

[fluid pelican]

My first clear. What a great hecking game.

[rancid pasture]

Poseiodn on attack with no extra dmg for bosses is a pain

[ember igloo]

40

[spare pine]

the little trap thing is multiplicative, not aditive

and another thing, the rocks that spawn from breaking pillars also count as traps

[lyric vessel]

my second clear (the game right after my first clear)

[ember igloo]

Chiron is fun

[wispy cedar]

my fastest one so far

[frigid bay]

damn dude nice job

sub 15 is hard

[sweet sparrow]

...Chaos? Why did you laugh?

[kindred sluice]

so uhh...Chaos gave me two Defiances. All I really wanted was better casts lmao

[steep cloud]

No such thing as a bad run when the Chiron Bow is involved

Funnest weapon in the game easily

[finite glen]

How it feels to play Ice Wine + Beowulf

honestly this is just manslaughter for dad-

[steep cloud]

5 stone Beowulf burst 💦

[north bluff]

Well this was a busted combo

Never even had to use my death defiance

It would've been my first sub 30 minute run if the damn satyr sack was cooperative

[steep cloud]

Lulu pfp, patrician taste

Sea Storm is godly yea

Poseidon and Zeus stack on their own boons so well

And then the Duo just takes it to the next level

Not even Dire minibosses in Styx can survive a pinball session then

[north bluff]

I went with Poseidon trinket first cuz I thought "Lol squirt gun"

Then I got Sea Storm from my second Zeus boon

Then Rupture and Jolt and everything just melted

Now to talk to my mothe...oh a fish

[steep cloud]

Greece fish pog

Free boss reward item

[frigid bay]

i have no clue how i managed to win this run, super super bad boon rng

[flat geyser]

Achilles Missile Cruiser build but mediocre RNG

[finite glen]

didnt even get blizzard shot

[steel mist]

tried a boonless run :>

[kindred sluice]

niice!

[finite fjord]

Guan Yu pierced butterfly run with Stubborn Defiance!

One of my most unorthodox builds, but it was also super fun to play!

would highly recommend

[grave sun]

I really thought that I would die in this run

[next axle]

I just got a pretty sweet 15-heat Hell mode win and it was easily one of the most chaotic runs, the lightning was all over the place!

[rotund escarp]

Not sure if this counts as a boast, but I'm not sure which run people did was the first one they completed, so

This was my first run done

[kindred sluice]

ooh, nice!

[rotund escarp]

yeah, only took run #6 to do it the first time. Took a few more times after, due to Sword shenanigans

[pine finch]

pretty damn solid Aspect of Eris railgun run

I failed it so many times

but I managed to get it!

[rotund escarp]

I got my first clear! I'm very happy since I feel like I know what I'm kinda doing right now.

I know, it took me forever, but at least I was able to complete it! And now, for the heat.

I remember getting a little yang about espousing Deadly Strike Lucy back when Blood Price dropped, thanks for the vindication.

[devout forum]

[flat trout]

triple bomb greater inferno is the best hammer combo

[simple zenith]

[analog canyon]

[flat trout]

45 heat demeter fists. tried so hard to get sea storm 😔

[simple zenith]

retrash you cant just clear 45 heat with tempest strike fists

[lunar peak]

.................................................................................................................Why would you take Tempest Strike Heavy Knuckle on Demeter?

[simple zenith]

think of the children

[lunar peak]

I'm not angry yet.

[strange token]

demeter is a free win so why not

[simple zenith]

LOL

[lunar peak]

I'll be angry in 5 minutes.

But I'm just confused right now.

But Heavy Knuckle slows down Giga Cutter procs.

I guess unless you have 3 dashes!

See, I'm so happy we have players like you.

[simple zenith]

do you think god lives in heaven in fear of what he created

[lunar peak]

'Cause now I'm not pressured at all at being the best Hades player.

There was a point or two last year where I was just a little shook, but then the Steam playerbase exploded and now that weight is off my shoulders.

[barren vessel]

homie just said something was a free win at 45 heat with EM4

there really is no god

[silk shard]

It should be illegal to be that good at video games.

[rotund escarp]

That's like "clockner Doom 2016" kind of good

AKA the kind that just leaves people's jaws dropped

[lunar peak]

See, I was thinking current Melee top 5, like Mango, Hbox, and Zain.

[rotund escarp]

yeah, that works, too. Top-level Melee is insane

[crisp ginkgo]

Still have an acorn charge left. I love athenas aid builds

[deft hedge]

Weird. Won't embed

[kindred sluice]
