i was dealing 160+ dot every second basically

lunar peak
#

Combined with that Artemis's critical boon... just look at it
+10% chance to critical and deal like 3x damage

#

I can't believe it, i washed out those 2 fools in like 2 mins

#

Also i had that... Pegasus's double dash boon. Could dash 3 times.

#

+Athena's dash boon

chilly tiger

*hermes

lunar peak
#

Who cares lol. But you are right.

tropic bone
#

i really cannot see myself using stubborn defiance and try to save all my death defiances for the final boss

#

i don't think i can beat hades without dying twice at least

lunar peak
#

And here i am, beaten the game twice in a row in my 19-20th runs, and never used any stubborn defiance in my last run. LOL

#

Hades is, seriously, an easy boss.

tropic bone
#

i guess it depends on the player style

#

have you faced him on EM4?

lunar peak
#

I feel ashamed to use the gun instead of the heart seeker... sob

lunar peak
tropic bone
#

extreme measures 4

lunar peak
#

Ohh do not spoil plz

tropic bone
#

ok sorry

lunar peak
chilly tiger
#

stop talking here

#

to go builds

tropic bone
#

yeah i wont spoil, it's just harder obviously

chilly tiger
#

stop this conversation here this is no longer boasting

lunar peak
#

I must sleep now. It is 2:00AM here... yawn
And i am busy tomorrow, can't play hades i guess.
But i will come back again, father. Sooner or later. And will beat you. And will beat again. And again. And again and again and again until you spit out the truth.

tropic bone
#

good luck ๐Ÿ™‚

lunar peak
#

+471% special damage (if they stack)
But you know what was the extra funny part?
Take a look at that explosive rounds upgrade
And my attack effect
All of them... slowing down the foes.
Allowing me to bombard them again and again (if they survive the first one)
Even my cast: That acidic blood perk instead of boiling blood

tropic bone
#

oh yeah bombs scale very well

chilly tiger
#

stop

#

talking

tropic bone
#

are you a moderator @chilly tiger ?

chilly tiger
tropic bone
#

we're talking about his win

lunar peak
#

That is victory boasting. And i am talking about my exprience and adventures out there

chilly tiger
#

this has gone on for way too long to class as anything under here

lunar peak
chilly tiger
tropic bone
#

so report us to a moderator then

chilly tiger
#

and not clog this chat

tropic bone
#

you are also clogging

lunar peak
#

Yeah i was talking about it: The Hydra was sooo easy that i wanna laugh remembering that

#

I killed 2 heads at once with a bombard

#

Too bad i could not get any of Ares boons. I think that would make it more fun.

#

But, i had enough fun. Hades is fun enough itself, don't yall think? ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

(if combined with an Exagryph with frozen explosive bullets and hazard bombs that deal +471% frozen damage (oh wait i forgot my "special"'s effect. i think it was like +100%)and slows down enemies)

#

Somebody is jealous here i guess. Maybe they hate Hades.

#

Btw i have no time to argue, imma go turn it into another day. Will slay more bones tomorrow.

oh boy a supersoaker build with no zeus

#

nice

#

mixing it up

grave totem
#

didn't even consider zeus lol

#

forgot sea storm was a thing

fair gate
#

yeah shooting for sea storm is generally the idea for supersoaker

#

but you got the clear anyway so it worked out

grave totem
#

yeah still went pretty well regardless

#

i'll definitely look out for sea storm next time tho

fair gate
#

itโ€™s a lot of fun for sure

inner zenith
#

I beat the butterfly balls without losing less than 10 hp because they are actually super easy

grave totem
#

yeah they're not that hard tbh

inner zenith
#

Butterflies are projectiles so just destroy them

grave totem
#

well you can't destroy them with some weapons

inner zenith

Still can dash or cast

Oof, I would not have had the patience for a Hades fight that long. ๐Ÿคฃ

#

I was invested in that fight. I should've gone with my best weapon, the spear. lol

#

But I'm currently in the midst of trying to unlock the hidden aspects of each weapon.

i don't think deadly flourish is ideal for aspect of zeus lol

Funny thing was, I wanted to go sea storm and curse of drowning

#

But by asphodel I got demeter and dio in the pool

#

And got offered blizzard shot

brisk canyon

#

After 3 runs in a row with 10:04 I crushed this 10-minute barrier! Got Merciful End before Tisiphone and got all the gods in Asphodel so I tried to go with the plume for Elysium and Stix, probably was the wrong decision but I'm still very happy with this run.

Some of you people are crazy.

on hell mode no less

sour iron
#

boonless took me 2 tries because i was unlucky with satyr sack

winged sundial
#

Yeah I saw that.

#

Is that Cursed slash or the from behind thing? they have the saem icon

#

or similar enough icons

sour iron
#

backstab

#

cant stack hoarding and cursed slash i believe

shut ruin
#

that's weird

sour iron
#

thinking it's because they both have slash in their name and both add an on-hit effect or something like that

pallid iron
#

I beat EM3 on my first try! And unlocked Baby's First Heat Reward!

pallid iron
#

Also, Hoarding Slash doesn't have any on-hit effect

sour iron
#

well the extra damage that is flat

pallid iron
#

Yeah, but it isn't an additional instance of damage

sour iron
#

anyway i guess it just hasnt occured to me in my 20+ runs with cursed slash

#

odd

Just did the challenge @ashen gazelle made last night. The challenge: you are only allowed to move with the bull rush of achilles' spear. This was pain!

45 heat unga-bunga shield, probably the most busted run I ever had. No acorn charges lost on EM4 squirtooh

ashen gazelle
#

Hey @little cliff good job beating the challenge!

little cliff
#

Thanks! It was absolute pain!

ashen gazelle
#

Guess that's the point of a challenge hahaha

little cliff
#

Guess so :p

ashen gazelle
#

Probably the funnest spear run I've had yet, I ended up with a really fast and powerful special that just annihilated everything.

barren meadow
#

this run was like no other, I didn't even die once and I hate using Bow tbh, but daaaamn this build kicked so much ass, on the second phase I didn't even take damage from dear old dad.

ashen gazelle
#

Gotta say, I'm impressed!

barren meadow
#

who me?

#

i'm sure you guys have better war stories haha

#

i've only played about 38 hours so far total

ashen gazelle
#

That's actually really good for 38 hours! And no hitting dad's second phase is quite the accomplishment I must say!

barren meadow
#

that's kind of you to say, thanks!

#

honestly this game is fantastic I'm kinda torn between this and other games, although 9 times outta ten I prefer Hades

ashen gazelle
#

No problem at all mate.

#

Yeah this game is really great

it's like what exit the gungeon should have been

COMPLETED MY FIRST 16 HEAT RUN
@ruby mist Tagging you because this is the Chiron run I was doing

bold aurora
#

new fastest run, Divine Pairings prophecy done (needed Curse of Drowning; it was literally the last boon I got from Styx shop), and all in all felt really good to play

#

not sure Kinetic Launcher goes with the Merciful End fists build, but ah well

#

also pretty sure my build was better before I got Curse of Drowning, but ah well

hollow glen
#

so i said a bad word, apparently, my bad. really chaotic run with some seriously weird mix of boons. made it to the end with all three of my starting death defy's, too!

#

and with the fists for the first time as well!

I've never tried heavy knuckle

i couldnt rly tell a difference tbh

idk how to use fists tho, i just run in and hold click

and then use q to drag them in

intercourse is quite nice but have you gotten a hades kill with winter harvest

grave totem

Multiple times

And it feels good every time

brave fulcrum

Got it last run, it was pretty hilarious

#

Hades said "Die" and then it procs

#

It was the biggest No u I've ever done in the game

I'd faint before I finish it dusa

limpid carbon
#

avg runs take like 30m?

brave fulcrum
#

20-25 is my avg

#

42 is my longest

#

but that was because I put artemis on my rail dusa

limpid carbon
#

Why would artemis make your run go longer

#

unless if you crit never

brave fulcrum
#

I didn't have fancy smancy upgraded zag rail and the knowledge of how good spreadfire is

#

remembered few things

#

it was not arty on attack, I only have PP for crit chance. Even then I didn't have the chance to upgrade it

#

then I got support fire and hunter's mark, which was fine right? It's just the support fire keep hitting the hunter's mark

#

and whatever I had on the attack, it did no damage dusa

brave fulcrum
#

... we get it you didn't die dusa

shut ruin

#

ey congrats!

#

ole master chaos needn't have worried it seems

#

oh Zeus on Zeus, you wonderful build you

nimble terrace
#

yeah its the only thing thats made me like that aspect

#

evena bit

#

jsut wish i had gotten static discharge so i could do cold fusion

limpid carbon
#

and changes your attack into a shotgun blast or smthn?

brave fulcrum
#

yes

limpid carbon
#

That range is hella short

#

I tried it once and got bodied

brave fulcrum
#

but the damage

limpid carbon
#

Wasn't a fan

#

You literaly have to sniff the enemy to land a hit

brave fulcrum
#

it's one of the more fun AND powerful build

limpid carbon
#

I wanted to like it too

#

But unfortunately Delta Chamber became my MVP

brave fulcrum
#

wow you're like the opposite of me

#

I don't like delta chamber

limpid carbon
#

But I like not having to reload

brave fulcrum
#

but dodging is a great way to mask reload

limpid carbon
#

click click click click

brave fulcrum
#

wush pew

limpid carbon
#

Just saying Delta Chamber practically has no downside

#

Unless if you don't like burst fire for w.e reason

#

And admittedly Delta Chamber doesn't do ANYTHING for a maxed Zag gun

shut ruin
#

yeah at that point you should just go for flurry

#

or even spread

limpid carbon
#

But tbh I don't like the other aspects of the gun that much

Triple bomb is always great

#

Wait no

#

Lmao

#

Got them mixed up

rancid moth
#

i donโ€™t wanna do four more runs with close raaaaange

#

damn my completionist little heart

lunar peak
#

These no boon runs really make me learn to dodge carefully

#

but then again, I still lost some DDs coz I always go Unga Bunga on Hades fight

chilly tiger
#

i think this build explains itself

ember igloo
#

I had a similar build today, was fun. Rending Chiron stronk

brave fulcrum
#

Frankly speaking the game hates me

#

Didn't give me black metal or any boons for blade rift

#

And I was also stupid to not put any boons on the core

#

So they kept recommending me cast/attack/special boons

#

Eventually I had to use meg

#

On the bright side

#

I did it >:D

grave totem
#

Well most 'dash-only' runs use meg anyways

#

So you're fine

brave fulcrum
#

I didn't use meg until elysium

#

Until theseus

#

So I got that going for me

#

Which is nice

grave totem
#

I don't have that kind of self restraint lol

#

Wouldve used it in asphodel

brave fulcrum
#

I had 3 temptations

#

I would've just used em

Guess so

kinda neat how they cleared achilles 32 without getting a win on rail, bow or shield tbh

Yeah they wild

#

I wouldn't even dream of a 32 heat run before I escaped with those

After first win, on your way to Persephone, you walk in front of a sunset. If you wait at the edge (where i'm standing) it'll zoom out and pan to see the full sunset

You don't really need that +300% base damage when power shot is usually enough to kill things in 1 or 2 hits and is much faster than the slow exploding shot

And charging that slow thing against fast enemies and bosses ๐Ÿ˜•

not a particularly strong build, but it was really fun knocking enemies around & seeing explosive/lightning/water effects everywhere

and heroic divide dash is just ๐Ÿ˜™๐ŸคŒ

i had honestly meant for this to be a suicide run to finish up some prophecies but rare crop ended up hitting the boons perfectly with my special and call so i just went with it and it ended up working

and 5 dashes was amazing

what a build that was. pivoted from heart rend and went with zeus attack. skewers brought to you by chaos

i've never fired my lasers harder than i did here. not pictured +75% damage from eris, +53% cast damage from chaos, auto-reload from hermes and arctic blast every 10 chill stacks which happened a few times a second lol.

I just had THE most OP run ever. Aspect of Chiron so homing special + 4 more shots + amped damage per special hit + arctic blast applied on every single special. Also had 2 Special Damage+ Chaos boons

I'll upload this video of how it looked in practice (mods can remove if it's not supposed to be in here. Unsure where else to share though)

Thank you!! screamheart I try so hard asjfns

shut ruin
#

if you're running rama you might as well just go for hard labour + lasting consequences 2 instead of heightened security

heightened security is definitely not worth it, people only ever turn it on when doing 40+ heat or so i've heard

yeah HS is only worth 1 heat

and it is supremely not worth it

i wonder what the highest streak of all time is in this game

probably by someone whos been playing day 1 or something

probably a few hundred

yeah

#

i saw someone with like 100+ clear streak or something on here once

So I tried out a boonless run - pretty simple at 0 heat - but aren't I supposed to get a special run clear message for this? The wiki says '100% Olympian Free' should take priority here over 'Swimming in Cash'. I did get some special dialogue with ol' papa, so I wonder if there's a bug here.

Unless the juice counts as a boon? shadegrief

why'd you even go for eurydice if you're doing boonless?

Calisthenics is awful, don't take it. Routine Inspection is even worse.

i'd recommend starting with td1/mm/bp1/em2

brave fulcrum
#

this is the third try of cast poseidon aspect build

#

first attempt I wanted to go for ares hunting blade, but RNG screwed me over by giving me hammer at first

#

then I picked chaos boon with -32% dash range, got into a numbskull chamber with laser and lost DD

#

second was with poseidon cast, however I put damage control 2

#

it also screwed me over

#

third time's the charm I said

#

and it definitely was

#

lost all of my DD by elysium

#

got Patty

so shout out to patty

shut ruin

patty is the mvp

#

shoulda just gone with sd though

brave fulcrum

maybe but here's the thing

#

I've run multiple runs with SD

#

and my performance dropped by a lot

#

idk

#

placebo effect with DD I guess

#

gives me a sense of reassurance

#

but I should say that build kinda sucks

#

but it gets the job done

#

I didn't get razor shoals or any poseidon boon before I got to styx and after the cast

#

Didn't get Athena/Zeus Duo boon unfortunately, but it was very fun melting bosses with 6x casts & exit wounds

does ares cast synergize with hera bow?

probably best if you have hunting blades

so you don't waste your time throwing them and hoping they hit someday

Deadly reversal is good, but not as reliable as heart rend

with reflect dash its not a bad option

I feel like a lol-build that ended up based entirely about Tidal Dash because I wanted to get that Butterfly achievement done and I'm really bad at not being hit shouldn't be beating my best sword time... ...

There are rumors that a bow might have been involved but don't believe them.

never went full poseidash before but it certainly got the job done. not amazing vs bosses but watching stuff pinball around the little styx rooms and die almost instantly is so entertaining lol. had pretty much everything you could ask for except some +dash charges.

I kinda want to make a new savefile, and do it mirrorless, and without ever putting on a keepsake or companion. Though I would need a bit of luck at Styx, since it would basically have to be a 2 sack. (Please give us a Pool of Purging at the sack chamber)

stacks up the hangover so fast

Not too big a fan of the other attacks

scarlet gyro

i'll special or dash strike unless i get quick spin with Guan Yu

if i get quick spin it changes the way i play it

static lion
#

So you say build Dio on the attack for quick spin stacks? Sounds fun, might try it

scarlet gyro
#

yup. and if you toss aphro on the special you have an easy way of setting up weak for priv status and you open up the possibility of low tolerance which is a solid 60% dmg increase to hangover
