Thanks! I'm pretty sure it was a lot of luck at the end. Artemis' aid max gauge had to have crit for 8 or more shots if my estimate is right on the health for the last phase when I used it.

there's a hammer that gives +200% backstab on attack damage

oh god drunken flourish chiron curse of nausea

what ahsame

unreal galleon
#

I still don't know if I prefer crit or hangover chiron

zenith bough
#

Both are pretty strong

#

I play chiron all the time and this is like the 3rd time I have gotten both hangover duos, so even though this build is pretty absurdly powerful, you will pretty much never get it

#

No idea if you can highroll crit like this, but I would say crit is slightly more damagr than hangover but hangover is safer

#

If you highroll and get both duos for hangover that's easily stronger

unreal galleon
#

heart rend pretty much finalizes crit chiron, so only really need 3 boons, where as hangover needs a few more

zenith bough
#

Hangover only needs low tolerance really

unreal galleon

guess it's about the same then thnkng yeah just donno which I prefer akek

I had actually won with Varatha, which I thought was my worst weapon skill-wise. But turns out it was really good.

nice! getting that first win feels really good for sure. i r bad at game, took me like 50ish wins to get my first successful escape i believe with zeus shield. i play far to aggressively for my own good but i'm learning to hold back lol

Yeah, took me around 38 runs I think before I was successful.

I was on my last life and I thought for sure I would die, but I went beast mode.

It's a fun build regardless, but it is a bit inconsistent to get the other important boons from Ares

also - not all boons are pommable - picking up un-pommable boons (or selling unwanted pommable boons) increases your chances that the one boon you want to level up is going to show up in that little window

Ohhhhh I see. Yeah that looks underwhelming. Weak lifts. Needs more Zeus bro. You’ve got your Poseidon but in the wrong places bro. Gotta get jacked up with some sea storm on that attack. Gotta get thicc with some jolted. Set a new best weight with Zeus legendary. Gotta go all in and really commit to the lifestyle bro. Take Fated authority bro, more bolts is more bolts who cares which boons they are. Get that scrawny run so Zeus’d up that you sprout a majestic white beard and try it again. It’ll be different bro, promise

Every time I go all in on Zeus I mentally transport into the headspace of a jacked up bodybuilder helping his bros get billowy and swole

It turns out the bow that shoots super-wide energy arcs is really good at pushing things into walls. Who knew?

Other highlights of the run include going 8:0 with Thanatos, getting the last Legendary Boon to complete a Prophecy, and getting to 32% with the Pierced Butterfly (thereby getting the relevant achievement).

Haha in this case it's a bit carried by the speedrunning setup y'know, the whole Eris + Zeus + Poseidon + Pact of Punishment + Mirror setup. Switched to playing fast after 20+ heat is just a bit too hard for me haha

i average around 22 minute runs but it is still fun to do a run every now and then just to see how fast you can go. i just did a shield run, my favourite weapon, to see how fast i could do it. almost sub 13 which i'm happy with because i got poopy boons up until elysium pretty much lol

Current Aspect of the Week for speedrunning is Lucifer Rail, trying to push Supersoaker build as low as we can

Thought you were supposed to use FO for speedrunning

hot hedge
#

You usually do, but it makes things a little harder to hit, and I suck at Lucifer rail

tulip quartz
#

I can only assume it makes it harder to wallslam w the supersoaker too

hot hedge
#

Depends a lot on which aspect/build you're running, as well. Stuff like Fists/Eris benefit a lot from it, since you can hit things faster. On the other hand, slow weapons like Arthur and Guan Yu can suffer because the enemy will move by the time your attack comes out. Lucifer has a bit of a charge up time before the attack so I went with FO0

even just one sucks

i had 5 potential duo boons halfway thru asphodel, and did not get a single one of them until the LAST BOON in the game, which of course was exclusive access

would have gotten a lot more if i had the extra rarity and rerolls

obv but it's a domino heat thing i think, the more you take the exponentially harder it's going to be(more so than other heats)

yeah ik

#

idk how retrash does it, hes on a 9 streak of all 45 heat

like how is that even possible

i thought you need good rng or something for that high of heat, but apparently not

why did you run fiery presence?

I see. lmao have complete ignored that aspect, maxed all 3 other rail aspects but i havent even unlocked that

seems like with a high fire rate weapon, the backstab would do more, but you clearly have more experience than me

So I fired up the game, decided I'd try a run with my worst weapon, the Fists. I hadn't even beaten the Hydra with them, so I was expecting to try and get a diamond and then get shredded in Elysium. I wasn't expecting this on my 30th run...

Just finished a run using only dash. No attack, no special, no cast, no call. Easier than it should have been, considering the build didn't come together at all. Didn't get the Zeus duo boon or the near miss one, so none of the Zeus boons I got did anything at all. Didn't get any extra dashes from Hermes. Only got a couple of Poseidon upgrades - wall slam damage and boss damage, no splash effect or rupture or legendary.

As you can see, i almost focused all of my boons and upgrades on it. It was goddamn powerful you just need to believe me.

Good against foe. I was like "Open the chamber's door, bombard the middle, and done. Next chamber". I can't believe it, the Styx's chambers... i even cleared some of them in like 5 seconds!
