I imagine you would want something like artemis attack if you had spread fire or just not take spread if you have ME but tbh I don't know
God damn, when did you start playing?
I read that as -3 lol
Yea it comes out in March
I didn't know hades came out in march 2021
I started playing when the game came out in early access in 2018, not 3 months ago ๐
Ah, i see
A bit proud of the fact that of my 5 total clears, there's a 3-streak in there https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/426421957597200386/794087782377193492/unknown.png?width=1668&height=939
Finally 32 with cursed slash
Took a break from going fast and got my first 20 heat clear.
First Hidden Aspect win
athena's aid at max gauge is surprisingly very useful
gj
blade rift only(ability too op tbh)
wait, wtf, u didnt have artimes duo with ares? @fiery vine
this run would be x100 times better
shame on u
i dont have enough darkness to upgrade that unfortunately also i didnt know if its existence i tend to not look up anything unless i need to also dont read the boon list
i have my current time record by using this duo boon and a +2 casts
x5 blades is just insane dmg
@fiery vine
No DD used cause of Aprhrodite Call
sub11 pog
The most important kind of victory - Recognition from your dad's company. Interestingly enough: Not nepotism in this case.
2nd win omgggg!!! the aegis is pure cheese i jiust blocked all of Hades' attacks LOL i feel great time to meet momther
speed
Hey friends, just a reminder that image uploads aside from victory screens will be deleted, sorry!
i havve found the truth of the game, it wants you to cheese as much as possible
demeter's crystal beam is so good
and like i got lucky with my boons and stuff that inc the dmg output
also teh lightning rod
pretty good run with this one
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/523766637757726722/794260211241451571/unknown.png not a victory screen but I got top 5 in unseeded any heat (basically this game's any%) in real time!
congrats cin
Beat EM4 for the first time with 30 hp left after using 3+1 death defiances hah
Then i did another run immediately afterwards and only died once on EM4
I finally managed to make my alpha strike build work.
It isn't a good build, and this was the last weapon I hadn't beaten a run with, but it worked
managed to skip him calling cerberus with the greater call + blcak out
plenty of boons
fun this is, i got the mirror upgrade that gives +20% epic boons instead of duos and legendary
and yet i get 3 duos D:
many boons is good for health man
first run under 20 minutes!!
I'm shaking rn.
This is literally my first run with the shield. It's been sitting there collecting dust until I decided "Eh, why not?"

I'm literally Once in a Lifetime David Byrne rn.
I think linked gifs are okay but just to be safe
First 32 heat victory. ๐
kudos
cast builds man.... gotta tell you
achiles spear is 100% a cast weapon
prove me wrong
it is
mirage shot can make any weapon a cast lol
Reached 50 wins today!
my PB
@foggy echo Heyy, nice job!
With a run like that, I have no doubts that you can one day get sub 19
Thanks a lot, I think it would of been wayway faster if the sack was not in the last room.
I am still super stoked I managed to get it under 20 minutes.
Sub 20 is nothing to scoff at, though.
Keep it up. :)
With that Determination, you can go far!

Thanks hahaha, didn't expect for people to actually comment on my performance here hahahaha.
Hey, beating Hades is an accomplishment of it's own.
To beat him in under 20 minutes is great. :D
I'm having a sort of competition with friends and currently nobody comes close to 20 minutes so I am super happy with my score hahaha.
It was fun to watch them die after a dash+ special combo lol 
also got a new best time yesterday although it didnt really feel fast until getting the athena ares duo boon in elysium
Also, since everyone loves a god run
Got my first sub-20 minutes clear!
11th clear on 11 streak
First sub 30 minute one
first 15 mins run!!
31:41.36 to 17:43.78 stygian blade....what did i do
huh seems clears with god mode dont appear on their this run wasnt btw
first time 32 heat, first try

go fast apparently 
very fast
first run of 2021! 45 heat zag fists
well...new achievement first full deathless run
oneshot?
First streak
30 hours in and finally got my first clear with a Super Soaker!! Didn't get lucky on Zeus/Pos Duo but was fun anyway
Lucifer is the super soaker aspect ๐
shhhhhhh It was a super soaker for me ๐ That's the one I can't get yet
this run was actually insanely fun, the damage i was doing at times was crazy. flicked god mode on and off throughout, but i had it off at the end.
also... i can't believe i actually caught a ||sturgeon||
Yeah. :D
Joined this server to show off my first escape, I'm quite proud of myself :D
even though i have god mode on ahem
first time with guan yu started the run with 15 HP
so many boons it even had trouble displaying it (clipping on the right)
FIRST WIN BABEYYYYY
wahoooooooooo idk how i kiled him i thought i wouldnt do it
Hera 36 for reference
First Cast build win
get ready for more
cast builds can kill ANYTHING in record time
check this one out
enjoy achiles aspect
Beat father with love
It was not so hot tho, I hope Guanyu can somehow be better in boss fight ๐
Most terrific cast build I have ever seen is the hunting blade. You just stand there let it do the job for ya
getting quite lucky with my buffs
Well... I was kind of lucky 
Festive Fog build (and Demeter-Athena duo because... why not)
Finally!!! Run #30 ftw!
Triple bomb Lucifer carrying EM4
new year new me
first time getting lightning rod yay
First sort-of speedrun!
I went into the Hades fight with full health and Death Defiances, but I let myself get sloppy
Congrats! Looks like you made a huge leap on your times 
Well, I wasn't really trying before: I always looked really carefully for Urns and such
And almost always did Infernal Troves, and cleared out Styx, etc.
Plus my planned build worked out pretty well, using Raging Rush to zip across the map super-fast
I also ended up laying the groundwork pretty well by dying to Hades on my last attempt with this weapon and Heat, thus setting up post-boss healing boosts through Dark Regeneration.
Lambent Plume: 27.6%
Meaning 23 encounters worth
And I managed to get Hermes's favor in the process
I found Igneus Eden to play really slowly
I literally took over an hour with it
@winged maple Did you disable auto-aim to use Hellfire, or is there some other knack?
I just spam the tripple special and dash Zeus lighting through the balls.

my personal best dad kill timer
What the hell he didnยดt even move once....

Easily one of the most fun builds I've played yet. Dio + Zeus have a drinking contest with Chaos. 77% damage reduction.
hey guys your videos belong in #self-promotion , please only post victory screens here, thanks!

apologies, but please heed channel guidelines https://gyazo.com/cad29057a6c1db5175b5c16c5c65387a
woah, smashed personal best
gonna get into top 50 on Hades leaderboards with that one
Sub 9. holy moly.
I AM NEVER.
TAKING SPREAD FIRE.
AGAIN.
I almost got screwed because of this. x.x
had a blast with this one, Doom really did some work
First win ๐
51 heat Talos fists... no attack/special boons and 420 hp ๐
Pretty new to this game but I thought this build was nutty for my 2nd escape
With the +1 for cast and duo boon for double casting made lightning phalanx all the more crazy LOL
51 heat zag rail!
55th run! Finally got out on a build I expected to go nowhere.
aspect of beowulf is far from my favourite but i got the dub nonetheless
BEAT EM4 FIRST TRY
Congrats!
got my first victory
my first W ever using a noobtube build
anything is good with arty
1st try EM4 Hades. Almost went south with how ridiculous the damage gets even with no other Heat
@frosty spindle please repost that in #self-promotion!
OOOMFFFG
BEAT EXREME MESSURES DADDY FIRST TIME
and I forgot
again to use my pets........

starting to get the hang of this thing
HOW? 
nice
When bad hammers turn your average practice Rama run into the funniest thing you've played so far:
Hello guys !
I have a little question i cant find the answer for...
I saw some build 100% with 1 god on youtube and i ve been trying to do the same but i rarely have more than 3/4 boons of the same god during one run,
Does anybody have any idea why ? (i am at 30 runs total and i have beat Hades only once so far...)
Thanks for your time !
that's more suitable for #h1-builds-and-combat
11th clear , pretty fun one (if youre wondering why only 10 clears appear on the weapons bit i beat it with adamant rail and 1 heat and it didnt show on the main one for some reason but i did clear it)
this is getting unhealthy
First EM4 attempt : ^)
it was
First spear win
32 heat win with Guan Yu. Charged Skewer feels pretty good with 1000+ crits
And what do you know, I actually got Heart Rend for once
Deathless win pogees
pure cheese is the aegis
can't get enough of this!
Hey, 20 minutes is pretty good!
I have no doubts that you can go faster. :)
Just keep at it, and you can do it!
Congrats for also making friends along the way. :>
the crystal beam is so good
first 2 heat run (actually the 3rd adamant rail clear)
Almost first sub 8 
deadly strike really carried me
there was times where i did 2000 damage in a single hit
No I am not biased towards Dionysus and Aphrodite why do you ask?
first heat 2 clear omg explosive shot and crit ftw
red boon gang
Was not expecting a win, let alone one without using my SD
Second 32
win in the bag! This time with Chiron instead of Rama, because I like using the bow 
Go Wiiiight!
PB
Cast then dash ๐
near perfect water gun
the only upgrade would be +3 dashes and +30% attack speed instead of +10%
so I challenge you lot to get the perfect water gun
I nearly forgot the most crucial part
+1% attack damage from bouldy
i think i win
sub 15 minute run
i didn't get lucky with styx and sack rng
i got it on the 4th try
plus i don't use meg
and i don't use pact of punishment to get the lernie heads to get closer
wait since when was i using aspect of zagreus
i thought i was using the magnetic cutter
52 heat poseidon sword
Since that run.
If you're confused on which aspect you have equipped, always check.
Sometimes I end up going into a run with the wrong aspect and I just press Give Up to try again with the right aspect.
52 heat zag spear!
This was amazing, only lost a DD due to pure greed spam
14 seconds left on Tight Deadline. Sheesh. 
i got 5sacked in styx 
I did it! I beat it for my first time after like a week!
52 heat hades aspect!
what are these insane timings
Would have been faster if the Satyr sack was cooperative
Never gotten sub 25 before
gg
I'm pretty bad
Might try a speedrun at some point
Best Iโve got was 18 with fists
I wasnโt even going for speed I just got lucky with satyr sack spawn and got a +40% movement speed boon from hermes
Best combo for speedruns is probably greater haste, hyper dash, and greater reflex
But you gotta get lucky with hermes boons
Also exclusive access would help in the right situation
And rail is better for speedrunning
Ah makes sense
sadly i didn't get anything to increase my casts, but still killed hades really quickly, didn't really care much about any damage taken though lol
First couple wins today baybeeeeee
ive been grinding for it congrats
needless to say, after not getting a double satyr room, was scared about my touch of styx
i started the Hades fight with around 250 health
i also got a real early rare crop which alloed me to get early strike and flourish heroics
what are you using to grind for it?
wish you all the best
ty ty
not really a victory, but this will definitely carry me to victory
first boss, Poseidon aspect, 5 casts and mirage shot
yep, i ended up getting a 6th cast from well of charon, i would've liked to have more than 2 Artemis boons though
i re-rolled an Artemis boon 3 times over, still no exit wounds
Sometimes it be like that 
low heat fists run, but my first sub 20 mins run 
52 heat nemesis sword! maximum meme edition
you cant keep getting away with this
whoa nice run!!
Took out the Fists of Gilgamesh out for a walk
nearly 20mins flat. 1 hundredth of a second away
i dont think ill ever do that again
idrc tbh since i beat it anyways
i beat my personal best with a sub 13. i didnt get divine dash until styx everything was so scuffed before then ๐ฉ
forgot to switch out aspect of zagreus again
16th clear pretty proud of this one and new pb in time (2nd 2 heat run beat all the weapons with heat now did a previous run with spear on heat 1)
aspect of zagreus + deadly flourish + chain skewer + vicious skewer
finally. first 40 heat victory. Hestia is Bestia.
slowly starting to comprehend EM4 
https://i.imgur.com/kohDTcP.png
first clear 
yeah got it on next hammer and it made up for that stupid charged skewer nonsense 
in the future look for high damge increases to special with launcher
zeus is especially bad since its already aoe
went full on zeus with this (basically just ran around spreaidng lightning and dealing crits with the sword)
Beat that 32 Heat Hell Mode for the first time ๐
Now that is a scuffed build 
16 heat first try
1st escape wooo
woah streak of 4 man i think im geteting better
First time trying a money build
first malphon win!!! i ahte the fist weapon. idk how to make it good
hey guys, don't sleep on bow charged volley build if you get it early on! I was ignoring the special of the bow so much, and this boon made it so good!
Same run
Cast, Cast, Dash, Power Rush, Special, Repeat
Charged Shot + Minotaur Rush is one of my favorite combos in the game
Also: Scyllasion, Flameater, Projelly, Stonewhal, Bass
wait - you can have charged shot and minotaur rush? I wouldn't have thought they'd be compatible. That's awesome
It's insanely powerful.
+500% damage! And you are directionally invincible while charging!
And the sweet spot is very generous
And that charges the Aspect of Chaos
And it is both unblockable and piercing
Frankly, it needs a nerf
Maybe cut the damage bonus in half
I mean, seriously, the base damage of that combo is 400.
Well, sort of
It doesn't quite scale like that, I know
this is old news here cus i said it in story a couple days back but this build beat Hades(The father of the year) first go!
doom cursed blade weak inflicting dash attacks are overpowered apparently
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, spamming the space bar until the enemy dies.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/771815559410876446/795390749188816936/unknown.png 5 of 6 weapons sub 8, but bow will probably be the most challenging
as you can see it is my worst speed weapon by quite a big bargin
If the goal is to be sub-8, wouldn't it be easier to disable every Condition besides Tight Deadline?
extreme measures 2 puts the hydra heads closer together
forced overtime makes enemies spawn f aster
You've got to be kidding me
?
That is hilarious
That the marginal benefit off that outweighs the actual difficulty increase
Why?
Huh
however it is actually good to remove those when going for real time
since it takes a long time to finish those
Weird that it removes them and pauses the timer
You'd think it would be one or the other
?
I mean the best speedrunners are usually pretty experienced with this fight
how on earth can you beat a run that fast
immense luck*
my best run is like 25 mins
it basically comes down to being skilled enough where you can capitalize on runs where rng lets you get a good time
Hades isn't as RNG-heavy as it initially appears, Daedalus Hammers aside.
sack rng
This amount of good synergy luck felt worth sharing
Sack RNG is another thing that can't be manipulated
it sucks
sometimes you get to styx on super good pace and then 3 sack ruins it
just how it is
I imagine King Vermin isn't friendly to speedruns either
tiny vermin is the [hecking] worst
As a non-speedrunner I sort of love it, though
I've never actually died to it. I credit initially encountering it with a good Aegis run, which allowed me to spend more time blocking and figuring out how it fights
Anyway, congratulations on your run.
I think my best time is around triple that. I used the Aspect of Achilles then too, since the spear was up for Darker Thirst and I figured it would be useful to zip around the map
guys, does attack damage% increase dash strike damage too? Judging by my latest run, it felt like it does, but I'm just unsure. Any of you guys know maybe? Also, with frost strike my dash strike became chilled effect too, so i guess I answered my question
it does
nice! It was quite hectic run cos i needed to dash every time but was fun ๐
yo im really getting used to teh game, first clear on heat 3!
19th, only got the legendary and duo boons in styx but like it was still really powerful before that (3 clears with each weapon now)
first clear
congrats!
MY FIRST CLEAR
My first clear tooo 
My first competent beowulf run, with some help from #h1-builds-and-combat went really well! Makes me wanna try and push that time down, with less heat and more focus on going fast this seems very strong, or idk maybe I just got amazing rng
MY FIRST EVER VICTORY IM JUST SO HAPPY
45 heat zag sword!
the new streak begins
Finally won a 32 heat run
45 heat zag shield
quite a lot of HP u got there
Lucky Tooth?
yes, why the ?
People were insisting earlier that it was terrible, I find that amusing
lucky tooth is very good, I don't see how people can call it terrible
its really good for EM4 and elysium at high heat
but in many other settings it can be outclassed by acorn, which is maybe why you heard people say it was bad?
purple run
lucky tooth becomes more meta at much higher heat, since its not guaranteed you have a good number of DD going into the final boss
runs become more reliant on getting at least some good enemy rng
i see you took some notes during last nights poseidon stream
new PB got lucky with those hammers
is the cluster bombs upgrade for exygraph worth it?
Yes
clear #2... damn that was a cakewalk compared to run 1, curses & doom is strong with shield 
https://i.imgur.com/e4kPklH.png
first boonless run done!
now THAT'S a game flex moment right there
12 heat EM3 no less
got a massive zeus build with chaos shield
i feel powerful
You feel Ultra Instinct
Damn gg, I had a similar run with chaos shield today but the lightning effects were on my dash and I never got splitting bolt :(
2nd escape heat 1
finished my 10th escape attempt and got to the credits at exactly 69 hours of playtime yesterday
here's that 10th run to fill the victory screen quota
first rail clear, only fists & sword to go 
https://i.imgur.com/BWYJh8K.png
As if that wasn't impressive enough in itself, your best clear time is 10 mins o.o how???
Been a while since I had time to play, but I got an amazing win with the fists. Honestly there were just too many good boons that I don't think I could have managed to lose unless I tried. And yet, until I got to Hades I was almost certain it was just a run waiting to get destroyed. And then I didn't even use a DD on him lol.
It's been a while since I did this, but this was a nuts enough build that I had to share it: Simply put, the Gods loved me, Chaos loved me, and Hermes was at least ambivalent. 5 Duo Boons acquired (and in hindsight I realize that I had the wrong set-up to get the Artemis-Athena one), with the Extra Cast and Cast Damage from Chaos combining exquisitely with Fully Loaded, Parting Shot, and Mirage Shot. That Epic Blinding Flash then had me see cast-damage numbers in the 3.3-3.8k range depending on how lucky I was with Pressure Point Procs (Heartrend, Baby!!!). 1/3
Further MVPs was getting Sweet Nectar in Tartarus, on top of starting with the Pom Blossom, giving me an easy lvl 4 Phalanx Shot before the Furies. Getting Exit Wounds in Tartarus as well just set the whole thing up perfectly. 2/3
And now begins the training for 32 heat, but I'm dreading that pain, RIP my deliberately absurd win-rate
3/3
20th clear ! (also that was a really fun aspect and it worked really well with the spin hammer
Nice!
throwing random crap, I feel there's no synergy at all, and won 
pb with random junk and no synergy... sure 
https://i.imgur.com/1m7K1xo.png
Sword down, just fists remaining
all weap clear. last one is bow. good playin tho
beat hades(heat 1) right after my first win against him
cant believe i got such a good cast build and coincidentally my first win was also with a cast build
slowly raising my heat :)
Not only that, you got your 50th win on 32 Heat!
Nicely done!
Nice work!
ideal run kinda tho @slate flower
rocket bomb + cluster bomb + epic artemis florish
zeus attack too
It turns the Rail into a Beggars Bazooka from TF2
ROCKETS EVERYWHERE
best :D
YESH
u hug hades daddy
gg mad dmg
- eris active all time
had to purge heroic support fire tho
fking rng
it was either, zeus attack, artimes special or support fire
:
:(
speaking of rockets, also my first 3 heat run
1 min final boss, got sea storm room before third boss so my dps was kinda low til then. very fun build tho, would recommend
all weapons cleared, now to start learning heats
https://i.imgur.com/nzss5Wz.png
pog
How are y'all all getting the crazy boons? I never seem to get that many so rare, let alone legendary.
turns out chaos shield is pretty good.. first heat attempt, no DDs used
https://i.imgur.com/FrsNTvu.png
there's mirror upgrades, but also, mostly super lucky runs get posted, its just a matter of chance
22nd, could have gone way better alot of it was down to pure luck and i didnt dodge too well in the final fight but i got my ice wine and i did it
alright - first time here
i'm slooooowly making my way up
http://prntscr.com/wg73yu
lucifer's triple beams and chain lighting is just 
it melts everything in your path
@dark quiver the 10 minute run was an insane run, i had divine dash + ME very early in asphodel, and i got a 2-sack. Basically i got god speedrun luck, but did not have the skill to even approach the WR
(not the place to ask ask in #h1-for-new-players)
cleared with every weapon ๐ ๐
@warm skiff WR?
World record
Oh. What's the world record?
I think the rng was good enough to get within a minute of the world record, but I donโt have the skills
6:29
not much but EM4 clear (after you know who robbed me of my 30 streak
)
I did it, I hit 40
waaaaaaait a minute
THAT's what the theme does?
I thought the theme changes the house of hades
that's why I've been holding back on buying the themes
Yea, theyโre pretty cool. Probably a good idea to wait on certain ones until youโve got everything else maxed though. I made the mistake of spending a bunch of ambrosia on two of them and I had to farm for a few days to finish leveling my companions.
didn't get the duo boon i wanted or the legendary but still solid run although divine dash kind of made it ridicolous
10 streak, congrats!
(thanks)
this wasn't supposed to be a serious run, just wanted to finish fidi codex entry, even started with the wrong aspect and ended with a pb, bruh (yay for first sub 20 tho) 
This is okay.
First blowout win over em4 hades!
My first win on pc after playing on the switch the past few days
Congrats on the first win!
Dang, nice! Hopefully the first of many
hell yea!
Nice!

that wasn't even the best i could've gotten and that build was insane
thats even faster than my first time too
@gritty pier I saw that, good catch lol
ice wine is pretty poggers
1600 damage per shot, 1800 on a perfect charge
hey thats my wallpaper!
My switch is being weird with transfering images so i had to do this, sry for poor quality

45 heat zag bow
Quite the heroic run, eh ?
clutch sure footing too
amazing 
Managed to get a win with the Spear using not only the aspect of Zag...
...But I also finally fufilled the last prophecy related to it.
The last thing I needed was Flurry Jab.
so much for me to learn 
noice ๐
This run was... Meh.
Nothing really too special about it.
Apart from me fufilling the prophecy for the spear and getting Flurry Jab (which I rerolled with the Anvil)
i mean its still pog especially to me bc i play on god mode and i still suck ๐
Hey, practice makes perfect. :)
true :]
Oh hey, a fellow woodland theme user. Youโve got good taste.
True Shot Hera bow build with Stygian Soul. Probably the easiest final boss fight i've had yet!
One attack knocks out like a quater of his health
very enjoyable
45 heat zag fists
Very nice
wooooo I caught a sturgeon
||Hades EM!!!!||
Sweet baby Jesus on a unicycle, this just melted everything
45 heat lucifer rail
@strange token Do you have a Twitch stream or a Youtube or something? I'd like to see just how you accomplish this stuff.
added it to my discord profile
Thanks!
45 heat gilgamesh
honestly just wanted the legendary Demeter boon, finally got it
very sick hunting blades build.....
very nice
My first clear
I was just leveling up the broken spearpoint
Didn't know I would end up beating the final boss
Zeus and Artemis's duo boon go really well with Beowulf
Set a new Arthur PB at 9:36 ๐ Hope everyone's runs are going well!
Just load in all the Bloodstones, ram into someone, then have the lightning melt them. Made extremely short work of Hades's second phase.
ruthless reflex peach?
please post your videos in #self-promotion :)
Yesss sirr!
youre quite the lad
It requires +1 dash in asphodel to make it work tbh lol
concerning but not impossible
yay
chaos is absolutely S tier for newer players and you cannot tell me otherwise 
https://i.imgur.com/eHdlkXC.png
I am legitimately looking forward to seeing how tough heat 8 is
Go go go go
first hellmode win
You got that hunterdash and 3x dash strike with DOOOOMMMM
hahahaha
brand new save, fresh replay!
Run 8 already brings results
first time getting sub 12 (also first time turning off aim at cursor while using the rail holy crap)
also was blessed with rocket and cluster bomb
First 16heat run
bit of a tougher run, but we got there
4 streak 
https://i.imgur.com/VWxxVvt.png
Heat doesn't really get difficult until like 32 IMO
Then it gets a lot harder as you go up through 40, 45 and so on
i think its more that some heat options are just disproportionately harder
you could do 5 heat with timer, EM2, and a blue heart
OR FO2
higher heat there's just no more easy options to choose from
4th time beating hades. this time with non upgraded bow
WHO NEEDS BOONS BABYYYYYY
one pool of purging away from the unique dialogue Sadge
ikr
I had to get that boon because of satyr sack RNG
I wanna do it again and try to not get boons
I wanna see what happens with no boons
congrats! many more to come 
yea, it sucks to get the boonless win robbed by rng
something you could try is take the room reroll instead of boon from mirror
especially since you dont need the boon one at all
Is there any special dialogue if you manage to beat your first run on a fresh save, boonless?
I imagine that would be insanely hard though
Since you have no rerolls, you'd have to have lots of selling wells
ive heard that there isnt unfortunately
I guess they never expected anyone to do it then
he probably wont give you boonless dialogue either, im guessing the first encounter dialogue has highest priority
https://i.imgur.com/CYm1aCA.png
first time trying to go a bit faster, threw on the timer pact for the learning experience, really fun run 
the "Tidal Dashing everything to death" run
Probably my favourite build I done so far (I know, 0 skulls, but it was my first time finishing the game)
Rekord!
โค๏ธ itโs called the super soaker build I think
Hooooolymoly I was 1 hit from death
The anvil
You can buy from charon, and the anvil can happen
Oh
The anvil
I never tried that one yet
It's basically -1 hammer upgrade then gives you +2 random right
6 heat down, 2 more till it gets spicy
still learning not to greed hits and let hades swing before going all out lol
first time that cast felt useful which was nice to actually use
https://i.imgur.com/w7s5UA5.png
44 min run dayum bro
first 4 heat and 6th clear with the bow, really fun run because i got curse of longing in asphodel
@lime bane how to get the special victory border?
House Contractor upgrade later in the game.
thanks
I took the anvil, I sacrificed charged shot for 2 other upgrades that actually ended up helping a ton
Noice
I actually didn't know that the anvil can work that way
Good to know
I only had my first clear earlier this morning
ive been trying to get this build for so long
forgot to get a screenshot post-clear, but legendary zeus boon slaps
chaos special zeus?
I really haven't had much success with chaos special other than ares
speaking of which
yeah chaos special zeus
ive had a lot of fun with it, usually in combination with artemis
nice
or just plain zeus with jolt and double bolts
double strike is really good
especially on fast hitting weapons like fists guns or aspect of rama special
usually end up needing some better single target though
which is where arti comes in
ares cast helped with that this run
damn nice
My new record
Get this two and you're invincible ๐
an EM4 win i can be proud of now, no DD used at all 
wow
Everything in that run synergized ridiculously well. A single Cast fired two shots, which dealt massive damage and knocked everything back, causing them to be hit with lightning. After 2.5 seconds the Bloodstone falls out of enemies, where they proceed to strike everything nearby with lightning. And every single time I just mentioned lightning, that fires an electric bolt. Oh, and there's a chance of the lightning firing twice
AND THAT WAS JUST THE CAST
My God Gauge also charged really fast, and Poseidon's Aid makes you invincible and causes a massive amount of knockback (more lightning, more bolts).
And all the lightning has a massively increased AoE
Meanwhile my Spin Attack charges up super-fast, deflects everything, heals me, Exposes enemies, and deals more damage with the aforementioned deflection
My Special pierces, causes lightning to strike (more lightning, more bolts), has AoE, and can be charged for even more damage and range
And I had Divine Protection, the best Boon in the game (in my opinion). I didn't even take a hit in the entire Hades fight, and I cannot ascribe that to skill alone.
i mean you got hit 4 times just the acorn protected you
Yeah, that's part of it
I don't know how many hits Divine Protection absorbed
That was definitely one of my best Hades fights
This also helped
Actually, Boiling Point didn't help, did it? Because I never took damage
yeah thats some luck tho
personally i think athena dash(cant be bothered to remeber the name) is best becuase you become immune to damage at the press of a button
I had that too
Divine Dash is great, but you are invulnerable during a Dash anyway. Divine Protection is guaranteed to help
I think
I don't know how it fares against lasers, actually
good point
how
just rushing ๐ tidal dash was very helpful
When the anvil hits just right
i only did this for the achievement, and i'll never do it again. barely made it through.
with rocket and cluster do they all folow each other or is it like volley shot with bow
only did what
use guan yu
o i always do that bc health back is soooo good
@humble grotto rocket + cluster = 5 rocket spread shot at same time
ridiculous shotgun damage
and ridiculous aoe at distance
oh, personally i despise it. a really situational move that's hard to make work and heals very little in exchange for the 70% of your hp the spear takes, alongside the slow attack and boring special...
...i'm never touching that weapon again
no you forgot about mirage shot
beat 32 heat (for skelly statue) with EM4 Hades
second try after i got demolished in the first one
But on this rematch i managed to demolish him without losing a single life
my attack reflect level you mean?
divine stricke yes
well idk i thought it was fine the way it was and focused on getting other stuff when i had the chance to
i didn't think it was low
Managed to get a good build with the gloves and manged to kill 23 enemies to Thanos's 3. He was not happy. That was the same run where I got to the last fight for the first time
dude its incredible how i ALWAYS forget to use the chtonic companions on hades' bossfight
i think its because i get too focused
one time than got like 1 kill to my 30 in asphodel
talk about a duo run full of knockback
This felt like it should be illegal
On my 14th run
Didn't expect hidden shield to be this fun
this run started off nuts and continued to be OP until the end, as is usual with chiron bow 
slowly building my streak back up
fun run, although would have preferred to get drunk flourish and curse of pain rather than the other ones but it went well enough
@chilly tiger with aspect of chaos that build works even better
all the extra shields let you instantly stack your hangover
it feels like with enough zeus, you can make any build work by just running in circles without a clue on what to do
second win, with some heat this time 
Hestia 57 heat! :D
Thanks! I believe so
I achieved my tenth victory today! Needed 121 tries and invested 100 hours to the game according to my Nintendo Switch. I know my performance stats are noob af but I am so happy to have gotten here without god mode 
Summary of my 11th successful run
nevermind the fact that I rotate weapons so I don't have to turn up the heat lmao
for my first run with beowulf, not too bad
what a thrilling run, first attempt of heat 8, was really struggling for time & damage until I hit elysium and found merciful end & charged shot, after that it was a sweep - didn't pop acorn against hades which was also a really nice feeling | 9 streak with chaos shield, it is my boiii
https://i.imgur.com/eBoUCmW.png
That is so very impressive... wow
Been attempting hella speed runs lately, finally reached sub9!
thats pretty solid, congrats
Eeey nice work m8
Thanks!
starting to learn eris, didn't feel like a good run but it pb'd so I guess? 
https://i.imgur.com/FXmJNHk.png
never mind, now it makes more sense

ok, second clear under my belt, went with athena for this one, with a splash of artemis.
i love artemis, and i love dash attacking... way too much XD
the fists make that kinda fun, though.
Breaching Cross + Hunter Dash though ๐ฌ
Great combo
Dash attacking for me is good with: Sword, Spear, Shield, and Fists
Ranged weapons not so much
can i point out i've been just doing this all by trial by fire? i've been doing this blind for a while. been trying to get an ares and party wine guy who's name i never remember, but they're never popping up together, no matter how much i force wine god to pop up.
It's just RNG
I hate that though
When I can't get the Boon combo I want
Wait till you unlock all of the mirror abilities, or if you have already, then just use the dice
to change chamber rewards
well, i need 30 to get the rest, and god, it's annoying to find them...
especially when i have to chose it over a possibly really needed boon.
31 attempts, 2 escapes. now for bed, and to stop spamming here XD
Dude. I got all geared up. And he didn't even fight me
I'm so sad
I got extra dash, poseidon dash, and the thing where they take 300% damage if you run em into a wall
I had the same jebait
I even got the egg on for the fate. Wonder if I get credit
RIP, but you know, you got the ||true ending||
I see why people like rockets on eris 
https://i.imgur.com/v464rgn.png
i just discovered the absolute broken mess of Poseidon/Ares' duo boon
Vengeful mood Zag bow for some reason 
Rocket + cluster bomb is amazingly broken i love it
Kinetic shot with aspect of demeter and merciful end
๐ฌ
I'd send ss
But I don't have it
cleared my 32 heat using those 2
combine them with zeus strike + support fire and artimes special
for mad dmg
Little run for today
It's not high heat, but it's my first run with lucifer and I have to say divine flourish on lucifer is way too good
Also extremer measures just because
hades 5th escape with chiron bow wooo
10 run streak on 20 heat! 
I hate the bow with a burning passion
@white shell cmoon, almost all bows is good
and current heat unseeded WR is made by hidden now D:
for me, i hate shield with true passion
xD
got my first win guys
Bruh shield is the goat
wtf
Its literally the best weapon imo
beside hidden shield which depends on casts
So OP
other shields is tiny dmg garbage
U must be kidding lol
Then you suck bro
You dont know how to use it then
crap dmg man
Its very good bro
can you guys look at my spear victory and tell me what you think?
Chaos shield is my best
, up to heat 8 without breaking a sweat
Lol
fist best weapon
I like stygian nemesis
nemesis big numbors
fists > all other weapons
that rail spot
aspect of arthur with artemis crit is pretty cool seeing big crits
cluster bomb + rocket bomb and u can finish the game boonless
good use of privileged status, good special build, looks good to me 
rail > bow > sword > fist > spear >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> shields
@unreal galleon thanks man, I feel so good getting it, I lived with 18 health, one more hit i was done lol. this feels so good
though I wouldn't have gone heartbreak flourish & attack personally
since if you had say hangover attack you would have had privileged easier
without needing cast
I kept saying this to you for the past few days, when you get it, it feels so damn good 
now do it again on a new weapon
aphrodite fists deleted hades way too fast this time lmao
my fastest hades smackdown yet
i just facetanked everything and used artemis greater call
welp this ended up being way faster than I thought it would be
I just wanted the rewards
getting back into hades after a break, started with a yolo 40 attempt i wasn't expecting to clear lol
liking the new flood flare meta, though i missed mirage shot sadly
even without it that aoe is really nice tho
what an amusing meme of a run, v fun
https://i.imgur.com/nrX81pN.png
Even more fun if you get the +2 bloodstones from Artemis (iirc)
This would not be complete without listening to Dragonball Z Fighting Game Intro Music.
Namely Budokai 3's Japanese version
Hell yeah chief
I like how gogeta fights broly in the intro
Hades, why waste time with those barrels?
I'm curious - is it the legendary keepsakes that allows u to start really cutting down the run times?
Yes! New personal best for time on 16h EM4!
Using Athena and Stubborn Defiance to get that extra DD when I was in Styx really sealed the deal and let me DPS-race Hades even after getting 5-sacked.
Only way I see this going more quickly is if I'd gotten 2 or 3 more dashes instead of just +1, or just not gotten 5-sacked.
because i feel like i'm running decently efficient - couple clears, about 36 minutes. i'm sure i could shave 5-6 minutes off the run just from efficiency / boon / damage i select
oh sorry ๐
The bot is very strict.
Let's hop over to #h1-builds-and-combat
sounds good
no high tolerance to complete the god of wine prophecy but got a duo and legendary i needed and had a really fun, all in the time it took for an online politics class to happen
the best run ive ever gotten, hades 2nd phase died after doing only 3 attacks to the rift cast spam
Would have been faster if I knew I couldn't summon Thanatos against Hades
Would've sent him against King Vermin
New speedrun record!
Would've been faster if I found the Satyr sack earlier hahaha
watched agdq run, incorporated some ideas, got my fastest time down by 6 minutes
https://i.imgur.com/LQa38HV.png
Just another fair run, I'm getting spooked by heat now though.. idk how newer players get to 16 without losing 20x
dub number 3! didn't even lose a single death defiance that fight
Clutch god
yea im pretty good
Did he follow up with "You got this" afterwards, Prosper?
lol
The game recognized my 100th clear (Thank you!
)
first time chiron run, didn't go too poorly? wasn't as yuge as I anticipated, maybe some wrong boon choices or something
90s hades kill was nice
