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
*hermes
Who cares lol. But you are right.
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
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.
I feel ashamed to use the gun instead of the heart seeker... sob
EM4? What is that?
extreme measures 4
Ohh do not spoil plz
ok sorry
You mean those... heat things?
yeah i wont spoil, it's just harder obviously
stop this conversation here this is no longer boasting
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.
good luck ๐
+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
oh yeah bombs scale very well
are you a moderator @chilly tiger ?
you can have this in #h1-builds-and-combat
we're talking about his win
That is victory boasting. And i am talking about my exprience and adventures out there
Close calls.
you can have this same thing in #h1-builds-and-combat
so report us to a moderator then
and not clog this chat
you are also clogging
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? ๐
(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 hey, sub10 lucky run
Throwing disc of dooooooom. ๐
The one-shot build
doom for all (also finally got a theme)
lots of yellow balls to go around
super soaker build
yeah shooting for sea storm is generally the idea for supersoaker
but you got the clear anyway so it worked out
yeah still went pretty well regardless
i'll definitely look out for sea storm next time tho
itโs a lot of fun for sure
I beat the butterfly balls without losing less than 10 hp because they are actually super easy
yeah they're not that hard tbh
Butterflies are projectiles so just destroy them
well you can't destroy them with some weapons
Still can dash or cast
The dream Nemesis build (Cursed Slash excluded
)
hey @chilly tiger , please DM me 
yep
harsh conditions fulfilled 
artic blast doesn't exist
https://i.imgur.com/IRAGoXY.png
mmmmmmades. who needs attack when you can just use your special
I honestly don't know how I did this but it's a new record for me (my 3rd victory) ahhh
Congrats! 
this was super fun lol
i had 6 bombs
EM4 No Boon Run with only level 2 Shackle lol, was hoping Shackle would get to 3 at the end
if it works, it works
truth
After three days from getting the game and actually playing it lol, I finally got my first win. And then the run right after I beat him again ๐
easy bad call, shoutouts to broseidon for giving me boiling point at trial of the gods
What's normally a good time for heat 10-16?
i'd say about 12-16 minutes
I got 12:51 lately, gotta find a way to get faster
This Artemis/cast build was chefs kiss
flawlessed hades for the first time lol
h...how.....
luck mostly
also have +20% dodge chance fom hermes
and the extra dashes i got also helped
Ahhh. I nearly died on this one. I REALLY should've sunk some boons into attack power. >.> It was a long Hades fight.
Oof, I would not have had the patience for a Hades fight that long. ๐คฃ
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
thunder flourish is a way better choice
baby's first escape!
I think so
nice
disciple of zeus by the way
what a crazy run ๐ฅฒ
lots of suffering to go around
VICTOIRE
You'd be wrong. Deadly deals the most damage on average. Thunder is right there too though.
my first 16 heat :P
if only i had posiedon special, this build would have been perfect
fastest yet
Best run so far
Even faster run
Last run before sleep
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

harpy feather duster ftw
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.
First 20 heat run,32 is gonna kill me
@slate geyser thanks for the help! got there.
congrats! very nice 
2550 gold + hoarding slash+ boonless
Some of you people are crazy.
on hell mode no less
boonless took me 2 tries because i was unlucky with satyr sack
Yeah I saw that.
Is that Cursed slash or the from behind thing? they have the saem icon
or similar enough icons
that's weird
thinking it's because they both have slash in their name and both add an on-hit effect or something like that
I was getting over 3200 damage in a single attack.
I beat EM3 on my first try! And unlocked Baby's First Heat Reward!
I just did a run with Hoarding Slash and Shadow Slash
Also, Hoarding Slash doesn't have any on-hit effect
well the extra damage that is flat
Yeah, but it isn't an additional instance of damage

Still a rules violation
There was no strategy here. The special carried me so hard
ares didn't show up but hey! 9/10 gods
Gamer-ing
This was a really fun run, I got the volley upgrade at the very beginning. I knew this would be a banger of a run from the start.
45 heat zag rail! some good spread fire action
45 heat zag fists
100th run! and finally did a guan yu run was great fun
My fastest run yet! Also my first victory with heat level 8!
45 heat zag bow
beat 16 heat finally with a new pb!
heart rend will always have a special place in my heart
something about is just so good omg
i had honestly was just gonna do a suicide run to get artemis dialogue and unlock|| rama|| since i had just gotten ||guan yu|| but it just worked out ig
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 
Hey @little cliff good job beating the challenge!
Thanks! It was absolute pain!
Guess that's the point of a challenge hahaha
Guess so :p
Probably the funnest spear run I've had yet, I ended up with a really fast and powerful special that just annihilated everything.
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.
Gotta say, I'm impressed!
who me?
i'm sure you guys have better war stories haha
i've only played about 38 hours so far total
That's actually really good for 38 hours! And no hitting dad's second phase is quite the accomplishment I must say!
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
it's like what exit the gungeon should have been
I've got 70 hours, and I think I've gotten 15 victories so far? Maybe 16.
Nice!
Ooh, nice cast run
Hera bow feels so much nicer with quick reload
45 heat zag spear. good ol' flurry jab
Woah that's a lot of heat
57 heat record wowza
7 casts, 4 death defiances and 3 duo boons... blessed run
new pb (this was an incredibly powerful build)
PB. This build just melted health like none other
Hades and the Dynamic Duo died in like 45 seconds
based
Finally got my fresh file clear for the 1st time. Holy heck was it a time
Made it just by a hair too
First 32 clear! Thanks to the folks in the high heat channel for the advice!
blizzard shot was a mistake lol
Managed to finally reach a big milestone today! 100 Wins! :D
good job!
COMPLETED MY FIRST 16 HEAT RUN
@ruby mist Tagging you because this is the Chiron run I was doing
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
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!

hazard eris
huh...
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
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
lolol
"Die-" "REAP WHAT YOU SOW"
Everytime I have a demeter boon in my main slots I try my best to get that
"Wither and die"
It's so good
Had Ares cast and dash too! Very lucky with all these blade rift boons!
nowhere near as fun as a heart rend build, artemis confirmed best arthur start ๐ค
https://i.imgur.com/9Zr24PA.png
lets effin go
looks good
100% in only 87 hours? ๐ฎ Amazing, gratz!
damn i got 322 hours and i ain't even done that yet
That's so relatable haha
my very first!! stubborn roots duo carried me through half the theseus fight and all through styx
wow that is hard-earned victory. well done
the first of many
avg runs take like 30m?
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 
... we get it you didn't die 
bro you literally have 4 dds
ey congrats!
ole master chaos needn't have worried it seems
oh Zeus on Zeus, you wonderful build you
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
Is spreadfire the one that reduces your attack range?
and changes your attack into a shotgun blast or smthn?
yes
but the damage
it's one of the more fun AND powerful build
click click click click
wush pew
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
But tbh I don't like the other aspects of the gun that much
Isn't much, but it's a New Personal Best
didn't get revenge mood?
I had a grand total of zero revenge boons 
it was my intention originally but got a bit scuffed from customs
it's vengeful mood btw
so instead it was just zeus^3 build
well.... it uses revenge boons 
I mean.... zeus legendary is hard to pass up
โก
thanks!
Triple bomb is always great
Unless you use eris
Wait no
Lmao
Got them mixed up
i donโt wanna do four more runs with close raaaaange
damn my completionist little heart
Bradford?!
No Boon Run again with Nemesis Sword EM4
Nearly died, phew
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
I had a similar build today, was fun. Rending Chiron stronk
So uh did an almost all dash run
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
I'mma firing my laser build
I didn't use meg until elysium
Until theseus
So I got that going for me
Which is nice
really not a good run, but I'm too amused by my lvl 11 flourish & cast-less mirage shot not to post
https://i.imgur.com/AqfeXad.png
Might be a tad late to this party but I finally did it! Horrendously jank build...
Congrats!
pretty sure my first 32 was around that time
i mean there is cp 2 and js 3 on
i played pretty differently before i ran TD3 all the time lol
Guess so
kinda neat how they cleared achilles 32 without getting a win on rail, bow or shield tbh
same
This was fun as hell
I litreally dodged all damage in the Hades fight, aside from him removing my invincibilty from Athena's Divine Protection
i was so scared of dying this is the least boons ive ever won with
Rama do be kinda fun tho. Also had point blank range, just dashed up and blasted stuff
This build was fun--it turns out if you kill a mob with Doom Damage from your special, it still counts as your special Damage so Draining CUtter still gives you +2 health
that iwth a level 3 different league (19 percent dmg reduced) really helped on the health
First 32 heat clear! Even equipped the wrong companion but it didn't matter as I was able to burst Hades for 2k every 2.5 seconds
facetanking EM Hades while spamming special build
Well that was lucky
nice
The first of many?
Sure
I decided to try this stupid challenge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR06j1_GRpYhSQNu1XLfGq7lQW3DAqnIGudSlMy2AFMsVirCac-slHKybw8&v=GGsdYt-8e_k&feature=youtu.be
TL;DR:
Maxed Hard Labor
Heightened Security
Maxed Routine Inspection
Double Approval Process
Must use a Zag Aspect
Wear Shattered Shackle during the whole challenge
That took a while lol. Finally beat it, never thought a mirrorless run would be so hard, but finally beat the Diogenes Challenge run. For anyone who wants to do the challenge yourself, here are the rules:
Maxed Hard Labor
Heightened Security
Maxed Routine Inspection
Double Approval Process
Must use a Zag Aspect
Wear Shattered Shackle during the...
first win โค๏ธ
i had poseidon dash and demeter special, with daedalus on my dash special
that was very good for triggering privileged status
gzgz
@stuck fern I absolutely hate armor, I take all damaging boons I can against it
grats @stuck fern
yeah especially butterfly miniboss
thanks :)
oh also another cool thing: i had talos aspect, so when my poseidon dash pushed away, my next special brought them right back
idk if that counts as movement for rupture but that might've made it even better
seems like it, smart choice bro
also I love your profile pic
I prefer the other Anarchy sister, though
My 8 year old daughter just beat Hades - love that flurry shot
my last run before the epilogue :> iโm on to other games now
45 heat zag sword!
Hangover special on lucifer. This was certainly an interesting build. @lime needle here is the run.
45 heat zag spear
45 heat curse of nausea zeus shield
I'm sorry did you just do a 2 45 heat runs back to back?
insanity
Yup
holy balls
whats the highest heat ever done
60
max is 63 right
yea
on normal mode I think
hell mode don't really know
gotta be honest, if 45 heat is usual thing for you.
damn
yeah I've been trying to streak all aspects at 45 heat for a while now
Got my 2nd 32 heat clear, now with Chiron aspect. Dionysus Chiron special strong
45 heat chiron bow. Was pretty worried about the timer after getting 5-sacked... thankfully styx shop hermes came in clutch with that rush delivery
5 sacked good god
64
tried KBM for the first time
Welcome, friend.
gang gang
since my right hand kind of hurts these days, it's a nice change cause I use my left hand more on KBM
not really good with KBM so can't go fast as much as I want to
It's always fun when you immediately get parting shot in tartarus!
how to go there?
for fun hangover shield build I did. Pretty good luck with 3 duos and a legendary boon.
Someone here said I should go ahead and try EM4 because it's a fun fight. The first time was an absolute stomp, ruined a 25 win streak. This time, things went a little different.
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
ok ty its too late for me ๐
I mean it was my first win idk if it has to be on your first win
If you beat hades with 0 heat maybe you can do it
๐ thanks again
It's for the first ten wins
yeah you can only do that for your first 10 wins, so savor them
nobody tell em what happens after 10 clears
another KBM run
Then I tried playing bow on KBM, I didn't like it and switched to controller
I got lucky with the builds tho 
My first sub 15 run. Actually was aiming for sub 20 since my previous record was 23 minutes. The heat is for the rewards since i haven't unlocked all weapons yet. https://puu.sh/H8pIN/77db44bba0.png
new best 
why are you using timer on your speedrun?
so i can see the time
@restive ether you're welcome btw
Demeter^3, not as good as zeus stacking but pretty amusing regardless
https://i.imgur.com/1es6RXm.png
R E A P W H A T Y O U S O W
Call me Sonic the Hedgehog
i honestly thought ares modifiers were bad since in my head most weapons either attack fast (zeus/dio attack) or dont attack fast (% increase like aphro/poseidon/etc) but this build worked surprisingly well
This one worked surprisingly well too, I reached Hades with full health and DD
the keepsake helped a lot
and it was special-centric with magnetic cutter
Heat 32 boonless Rama after many tries
First sub 10 with fists! after 5-6 tries. I would say I'm happy with my time!
32 heat fists done first try too
How did you get Heroic Static Discharge and Lightning Strike? I thought you could only get Heroic boons by swapping boons in, and those don't swap?
i'd assume eurydice since no rare crop
She can make stuff Heroic? I always take the nectar and haven't seen that, but that's awesome.
run was over when i got splitting bolt in tartarus, most OP build i have had in a while
32 heat gun done, also first try
acorn is my baby
saves me from so much damage on hades
this felt so good, first time with poseidon aspect
I'm still slow but eh it was a nice build anyway. Crystal beams are cool
nothing wrong with being a little slow, crystal beam tends to do that to you
btw the acorn keepsake gives a lot more effective health than the skelly tooth
except on em4
Yuhhhh ||just got Persephone back home now|| not sure if thatโs a spoiler or not here
my speediest time + 4th clear with the shield. Downside to doing weapon picks by dark thirst is it means I don't always use the weapons I still need to win with 
I feel like this is my best run yet. Didn't even realize that Hades never actually touched me until the end.
lose a lot of time in elysium ๐
45 heat talos fists
new pb with the spear
45 heat nemesis sword
Mans about to get world record for heat
Dash only run. Allowed summons and the like, but only the damage was by dashing. It was my first non- God Mode completed run. Really proud of myself.
45 heat achilles spear
Finally got my first 40 heat win
heartbreak strike and unhealthy fixation on gun are insane
great for bosses as it interrupts their attacks n what not
I wanted to do a yondu spear build... the game loves to hate me.
https://i.imgur.com/ZCW65Uk.png
didn't love this run, 4 DDs used, feeling like I'm getting worse 
beeeg damage
kinda wish i went for eris just for that 75% damage boost but maybe 6 ammo would have just been a downgrade
No Boon Rail this time
my first ever rama run
ahhhh shotgun rama
twas my fav
pair it with explosive shot
and you have the demolisher
ye i kinda got lucky
first time trying beuwolf build got pretty unlucky 0 duo/legendary but still won
415 health tho
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 ๐
heroic aphro attack on aspect of nemesis is beautiful, I only wish I had heart rend
ares cast really is 
But boom boom
;-;
all the builds ive tried so far are pretty good
play lame win game
yeah fiery presence kinda sucks unless you're going for a specific very hard-hitting build
when dash only run almost got me a new PB
the only reason I didn't was because I wanted to get Sea storm
I mean...
that... thatโs some cast damage, right there
now if only they also got grasp or fully loaded ๐ณ
between the aoe, lightning & homing, it basically made every room a fire & forget lmao
not a particularly strong build, but it was really fun knocking enemies around & seeing explosive/lightning/water effects everywhere
kept trying for hunting blades but never got it
and heroic divide dash is just ๐๐ค
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
aspect of Rama was fun but paired with explosive shot it really kinda slowed things down a bit
thank god for drunk special wheezes
man so close to sub 10mins
spin 2 win with a touch of poseidon call spam
First time on 16 skulls
First time ever getting cluster rockets and I nearly broke my pb while I was at it. Heroes fight took less than 10 seconds
Who needs to aim when you have homing arrows? xD
just cleared heat level 4 for the first time baybeee
Nice!
ayy got kinda lucky on my first ever gun win
says thats your second win on rail tho?
one dash to rule them all, how tf do you counter hades pillars?
50 heat zag sword
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAMM
this ended up randomly being a pretty solid build. and i usually hate playing with the spear
and yes i did forget that the switch can take screenshots, thanks.
Nice
man did this sooooo much dmg
hera, with no cast boon?
ayyyy nice! mama mia thats a lotta max health
My charging was so slow but I did a ton of damage (enough to tank ||hades||)
I always took the centaur heart or soul.
yea but even then JEEZ
51 heat zag shield
easiest run of my life, both my attack and special were independently OP, and together...
45 heat chaos shield!
45 heat chiron bow
FIRST TIME BEATING HADES. ONLY TOOK ME 3 TRIES TO ACTUALLY BEST HIM. YES!
My attempts at 32 heat were going rough, so I went down to 24 with the aspect of chiron and won pretty quickly!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Now the real fun begins!
45 heat demeter fists
the win is nothing special, just want to show off my 100% stubborn defiance
45 heat hestia rail
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)
that is quite a bit of damage
bow used to be my worst weapon until the hidden aspect, then it's just brrr brrr brrr
How'd you do that
I recorded it in OBS (and I have Discord Nitro for bigger file sizes). Once I saw how much damage it was doing, I knew I wanted to record it haha
chaos flourish ๐ฉ ๐
Hera bow and hunting blade is pretty gud
I think the parting shot proc a few times?
But not sure
30 heat with bow + rama aspect 
That is one painful heat configuration
asjfns my dps was so bad too, i was getting my ass kicked all day trying to figure out a heat config that I could handle... my best clear before this was heat 21 
Well first 30 heat clear, I can only say good job
Especially for the routine inspection
Thank you!!
I try so hard asjfns
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
only way ita doable is if you get epic sure footing
you can easily lose a death defiance to a sawblade in styx
cracked eris run
heroic pp pog
lol id imagine
dang Iโve never seen that before 
yeah it would suck to lose such a long streak
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
i mean you could just go chiron bow/chaos shield/eris or any other broken aspect at like 0 heat for all eternity if you want to get an insane streak
yeah definitely
ohh yeah ive been using heightened security since i started doing heat runs to challenge myself so i kinda got used to it... but yeah ive gotten hit by the falling axe/hades pot before and itโs rough... iโll keep playing with the heat config 
I cleared one in 2 mins
CAP
pics or it never happened
I told you @copper plume is Lying
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? 
why'd you even go for eurydice if you're doing boonless?
she sing good :)
Lemme give you a tip or two on heat
Calisthenics is awful, don't take it. Routine Inspection is even worse.
Approval process I'd rather not take it, but if you really absolutely must, never do 2 of it.
Lasting consequences 4 and Stubborn Defiance talent is a good combination
i'd recommend starting with td1/mm/bp1/em2
soooooo I promised myself not to do another 32 heat run
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
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
nyehhhehehehehhe
probably best if you have hunting blades
when you charge your blade rifts in your hera bow
the blade rifts will appear when your arrow hits the nemy
so you don't waste your time throwing them and hoping they hit someday
i see
might give that shot, ive only played hera bow with Dio cast so far
seems fun
Okay, i really like the laser...
One of my worst runs last night
were you going for merciful end?
I was just looking for damage, period.
I wasn't really fishing for duos, I just wanted some decent enough damage. x.x
Didn't get Deadly Flourish till Elysium.
you definitely could have gotten some pretty okay damage if you got me 
3rd 32 heat weapon
how the hell did you get 415 hp with lasting consequences
i had so much money at the end
i was saving to buy a defiance but couldnt find any shops
no dds left 
- one of the mini boss rooms in styx was a centaur heart
so i got 50+ hp instead of the standard 25
LC doesn't reduce max health gain, only healing
โ

tried out ares cast with hera bow
was very underwhelming until i got hunting blades
after which the cast did pretty much all the work
hera in a nutshell
ah, heroic aphro attack on nemesis, shadow slash, that money damage hammer, lots of coin, and heart rend
๐ณ
paid more close attention to my damage numbers this run! Massive spin + Quick spin made taking heroic divine attack better than a zeus one, and turned into some real spin cheese
It transitioned REALLY nicely from Zeus attack to Athena, really happy with how that went
thank you thank you and with this Im done with the game for a while
fair!
if I knew speedrun rules n stuff maybe I would have even tried to send my run there but this is enough
You ended it on the nice amount of health
oh dang you're right!
Again... but with one heat point or whatever it is called!
Also I got like 60 darkness in that entire run
laser go brrr
My first victory last night!
I probably chose the worst upgrade.
Zag bow 32 heat clear very very very lucky set up
Need a 2nd screenshot because I was too lucky
first run through & i'm still shaking asldkjaslkdg the fates were on my side i guess 
Grats on your fist win!
thank you so much !!
Just picked up my first victory, congratulations to everyone else too.
Finally! 32 heat done
just did EM4 on my first try.... never again ๐ญ
Was not expecting any of that... especially the music ๐
was just curious what it would be like, never expected to actually get there
you ever wanna just toss exploding sticks?
nice Legendary hunting and had the Heroic skills from the start.. was nice :D.. aimed for the legendaries and hit them.. ๐
Had to rely on stubborn roots to save my butt
I admit, I ended up camping one of the tunnels in Styx with one vermin left and just waited on the other side where it couldn't hit me.
dang, congrats!
did a stress relief after failing 32 heat runs 
Oh, that looks therapeutic
it was
that's about everything Nemesis could ask for. plus double edge, shadow slash, epic level 2 exposed, epic killing freeze, +15% weakness effect and 28% damage reduction for good measure lol.
hmmm i feel like you can do a lot more damage with privilege status
you had aphro and demeter
welp
the build looks very nice overall 
finally won with cursed slash!
Ruthless Reflex Arthur overall PB
cursed slash is so good
My most powerful build yet, literally just held down attack and dashed a bunch
bruh
Well base drunk is 5 stacks
i think id pick heart rend but the only weak i see is cast
So it's 7.5%
Deadly reversal is good, but not as reliable as heart rend
Cause you have to effectively deflect
Then again you have athena dash
i chose deadly reversal
with reflect dash its not a bad option
Oh you have athena on special
the result
my fav theme
its still ok
well yes you are not as safe but it works
i will try charon and try to get aphro legendary
i can't wait to get enought titan blood to max chiron
Woo! Finished a run for the first time today!

|| this was the run hades refused to fight us and just let us go ||
ah, love it when a plan comes together. Explosive Shot is QUITE tasty for a crit build
dash nova...
i chose it for the meme b/c flurry slash and cursed slash were offered with the same hammer (first hammer btw)
also was coasting to getting a good time but then this game decided to give me a 4-5 sack run (can't remember which exactly) in styx
Redeeming myself from my 55 minute 32 heat run :>
achilles aspect is actually insane
I really love it
why are you not running TD2? it seems like free heat
The fear haha. I'll try add it on next run
good luck with it :)
Thanks ๐
if only the curse of pain were to be rarer
play lame win game
this was totally fair i think
Is that copy of windows not genuine? Or does it need to be activated? 
this was also totally fair
at the start of the elysium bossfight i brought asterius' health down by a quarter before they were even allowed to move
suffice to say
i gamed
not a victory yet but ive never beaten than by this much lol
Started playing Hades on 24th of last December and I am loving it! Also the first game ever I started speedrunning :3
i just did the jankest run i've ever done
i was gonna go sea storm with lucifer and splash dash
but then out of nowhere i got mirage shot
there was also some lightning rod ravenous will action in there
first time using arthur aspect, got some big crits and felt so tanky. absolutely loving this weapon
this is probably the most satisfying build i have ever done
My first 32 heat clear. Just 3 seconds left๐
asian players amirite
don't be racist
not really a boasting moment but i got to hades in my boonless run and i got the dialogue
i died half way though the second phase
Oof. At least you made it to him.
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.
mirage shot hunting blades???? holy cow
its actually pretty insane
i went in trying to build for crit chiron
ended up going blades instead
Ares call as the cherry on top for another blade
beyblade moment
finished all arms
heroic divine dash, thanks demeter 
man i hit like a small island and my first sub 20
More Zeus
Zeus aspect and core, very fun
started using gilgamesh, it's SO fun
what do ppl build on fist hidden aspect, wanna try some fun builds
merciful end is next ๐
I suggest Poseidon Dash for a start; you can get a lot of dash damage with Gilg's bonus dashes
sounds fun. razor shoals would be pretty nuts on that
blade dash too, blade dash on gilga is super fun
hah i can already imagine a sea of black/red on final boss
51 heat nemesis
I've been getting into doing the heats and I like to think I'm doing well
just did 4 heat
not as good as literally anybody else but I'm proud of myself
45 heat poseidon sword
I don't have a screenshot of the clear screen but I got a run today with 3 duo boons
that was epic
deadly reversal + heart rend + athena on attack = crits for days
ehehehe
Win screens when pursuing Legendary boons end up being so funny. For Zeus:
when you hate the special attack on the spear so you take the anvil and now you have three special hammer boons
My fastest bow run even and I it was on 32 heat. Got nice boons and shoutout as well to Drunken Flourish and Splitting Headache
without question the hardest thing i've done in hades so far lol
45 heat hades spear
also my first victory with the rail
I really donno what it is but just getting worse and worse lately 
https://i.imgur.com/0aKtHiH.png 2 dds wasted on boss even with what l think should be a good build 
45 heat zeus shield
No boons baby!
hera with 7 casts
somehow barely got a pb with arthur of all weapons, i didn't even have a very good build but here we are i guess lol
could've gotten pb but then got 5 sacked
retrash set up your twitch. i am no longer asking
w00t, my first 32 heat run done
did another dash only run
unga bunga special and cast all day
i think this is the most op build ive ever tried
even more op than chiron with aphrodite legendary
hades fight was so fast lol
lucky with hermes
also got smoldering air so spamming call
First 32 Heat Run, got luck with Artemis Legendary so plenty of Casts for the end
Guan Yu 40 heat. I had a lot of deaths and retries before doing this, I could feel that FO2 foes are really fast.
drunk
yiiiiiiiiikes
Forgot to take a screenshot, but I outran asterious I was so fast
Twin bouncing crit Rama shots does damage
Nice time
ty
This wasn't a speed build, but I made it to Hades with full health and DD--got knocked to my last chance but Stubborn Roots kept me going. Not a great build but I survived.
Finally, on my 27th run I have finally beaten Hades for the first time. When I got the Huge Catch boon at the beginning I knew that this would be it. This would be the run. 
Onward to more blood and darkness! 
P.S. Proudly caught 3 rare fishes (out of 6 fishing attempts) while at it as well, including a Trout from Greece!
beyblade go brr
I think Dad needs a towel
this is stupid.
4.5 thousand damage on fully charged triple crit
Embracing nothingness.
Now do that with routine inspection. xD
45 heat zag sword
u didnt post the fricking tempest strike zag rail?
forgot to ss ๐ฆ
pain
it exists in our hearts
forever and ever
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)
Decided to go for completing Dark Reflections, ended up doing it second try. Athena's aid was so useful on bosses, I should really take it more.
That was quite a lucky build.
Holy heck finally sub 10 with fists. Merciful end is just absurd. Hades fight was 46 seconds ๐
not a big fan of the spear, but when it keeps exploding inside of dad at least it's a satisfying win.
I wasn't a fan either until I tried Guan Yu with Charged Skewer with roughly the same build as you here. Think you might like it!
yeah, i actually like Guan Yu with quick spin and tossing something like dio on the attack
stacks up the hangover so fast
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
So you say build Dio on the attack for quick spin stacks? Sounds fun, might try it
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
