Beat my Zag Bow's heat record
I chose these pacts specifically for practicing for 32
I know there are most likely more optimal pacts if you wanted to get that specific heat number of 20 or 21
I'm getting more confident with TD3

I did 32 with Hestia, I want to do 32 with all weapons for my next goal

If you have privileged status activated by Doom and one other boon, is Privileged Status still active when the Doom actually procs?
vale sierra
nope
only while the sword is over them
hence why curse of longing is really nice for doom ps setups

Was grinding keepsakes to 3* for the last achievement, added heat for fun. Ended up getting my first clear with this kinda scuffed build. Whats a good heat target after 32, are there any hidden rewards since the last statue was 32?
barren vessel
there are no more real hidden rewards for high heat past 32, mostly ppl push high heat to see big number and feel good
at least thats why i do it

Is there like a community standard after 32?

I have a question about boon priority. The boons offered clearly prioritize filling up your five main move slots, but is there a more detailed explanation of the mechanics?
Right now I'm given the choice between Artemis and Aphrodite doors. I want Aphrodite's auxiliary boons, but I only have two of my move slots filled. I also really want a Duo Boon that I am technically eligible, and both doors are Miniboss, and I have Sweet Ambrosia active.
However I also eventually wouldn't mind having Artemis' call or dash strike, and if she did offer me a critical boosting boon I'd take that too
So the issue I'm faced with is, do I go with Artemis because Aphrodite is probably just going to give me move slots options I don't want? Or do I still choose her because the rarity boosters will override that and present an opportunity for the Duo boon?
Or, third option, do I just go for the Chaos Door that's also open, and hope that I get a chance to score Aphrodite's aux and duo boons later?

Personally I'd go for Artemis or chaos, though it depends on how central to your build each boon is.

its quite insane how much damage i was putting out

zeus attack a tad wack but epic :3
remote cargo
it worked well with jolt and my arrows going to multiple enemies
vale sierra
oohhh you got flurry shot
remote cargo
ye

yea i mean its a pretty solid build :3
artemis is a good choice imo
aphro is also really good on hera
thorny wraith
That's a nice build, how many casts did you end up with? 5?
remote cargo
still easier than dash attacking for me
vale sierra
dio also works really well
remote cargo
4 with charon well at the end

What's annoying is that I had a run where I got Chaos legendary a long time ago but I think I quit right before that run saved so i need to get it again for the prophecy
lament monolith
@slate tapir Thanks!! I'll check this out. And thanks for the advice, too. My goal is to get Parting Kiss and as many ridiculous backstab bonuses as I can find. I already have two epic backstab bonuses from chaos. I'd love to go for a third but the whole strategy will fall apart if I don't get Parting Kiss
lament monolith
What's annoying is that I had a run where I got Chaos legendary a long time ago ...
The boon needs to actually evolve for the prophecy to be fulfilled. It may have been that you picked it up from Chaos but then ended the run before fulfilling the chamber requirements.

The boon needs to actually evolve for the prophecy to be fulfilled. It may have ...
No I finished that run, the entire run didn't record, including me breaking the heat record for that weapon so I had to do it again

i see you used arte call. how good is arte call? 10 arrows that do 100 don't seem that great.

they have crit chance

on builds like ares cast where you get the god gauge up super fast her call is amazing
lunar peak
Holy spicy build mama
dusty tangle
i'm playing hades now
dusty tangle
but the crit chance
vale sierra
its not a spammy call :/
lunar peak
small call is still neat for rooms
dusty tangle
why would you use a call that wasn't full
dusty tangle
hm, don't know how i feel about that
vale sierra
and for zeus getting it out faster is really good
lunar peak
For rooms, and some of them don't lend themselves well to full charges, because of enemies moving around, bosses phasing ...
Zeus and Dio aid are the prime exemple of this
gentle folio
^^^
lunar peak
Like, sure, bonus duration is neat, but it doesn't matter if half your gauge is wasted while the boss dipped out of range
A small call is more consistent in that regard
dusty tangle
dash
vale sierra
also if its something like aphro call its good both ways
lunar peak
Aphro call is a weird one. But a good one
More or less matches Artemis in damage, if not a little lower on a full call. But the small charge is pretty versatile
vale sierra
and the damage enemies do with charm small charge is stupid
they break the thousands but i cant

I like aphro call

Yes. In fact, that is about the minimum you can expect in speedrun on most aspects

it's possible to beat hades in 50 seconds?!
I think the fastest possible Hades fight is like 20 seconds ? On Beowulf

In speedruns, 40 second is considered a good Hades fight

Gilgamesh hard to use *and* to be fast with
first time so it's somewhat acceptable
dusty tangle
all of the secret aspects i've tried so far all seem so slow
none have been in actual runs just skelly
vale sierra
in terms of physical speed yea
but rama is really fast
ive gotten almost sub 11 and i wasnt doing heat strats :3
and i was on hell mode
gy is also decent i think in terms of speed
ik beo is fast as hell
im terms of times
not like attack speed
umbral forge
yeah some of the secret aspects just hit really hard -- beo and rama mostly
and that lets them make up for their slower animations
lunar peak
Beowulf is very strong, and a fast aspect overall. Rama and Lucifer can be decently fast too. Arthur, Gilgamesh and Guan-Yu are on the slower side of things
so 50/50
dusty tangle
I have nothing to say about this run.
winged shoal
sweet nectar with barely any leveled boons..
that was a late duo

winged shoal

vocal sundial
Not necessarily. If you can get more than one victory message, then the game will choose randomly. Unless one of those messages has priority, in which case you will get that one instead. So you probably had a 1/2 chance to get the message you wanted, but ended up with Minotaur’s toughness
bronze patrol
I have finally beaten the game for the first time. I have been going through a really bad depressive relapse episode this last months and i stopped playing the game when it started. Now after 4 mounts or so without playing the game i did it in the first run (Demeter cold rays are really op) and with doing so i felt an spark inside me that i have not felt in a long time with videogames and that is really rare for me since i got depression. I really love this game and all the effort and love that went through it, and as an aspiring videogame writer, musician and a greekhead this is game makes me feel how i havent felt since i was a kid.

lunar peak
Congratulations!
winged shoal
congrats!
dc2 on chiron is kind of an odd choice imo
but i suppose the special more than makes up for it
lofty osprey
Thank you! I got lucky with getting 2 duos. I built the weapon based off Zeus and Artemis boons. Athena's call really helps me take the edge off from getting overwhelmed from the enemies attacks. I thought I would mess up at Hades's 2nd phase.
lofty osprey
Static discharge & support fire also helps out with dc2. I didn't realize until after I beat it that I should equip Family Favorite instead of Privileged Status since Artemis doesn't give out status curse. Well I think she has a status curse in her boon, but I don't really use it often in my runs.
minor sun
I know 11 heat is nothing to most of you, but this is my strongest build so far. Thunder Flourish on Aspect of Chiron with speed-based damage buffs
I absolutely melted each encounter.
I also had:
- Family favorite bonus +25% dmg
- Splitting bolt
- Vicious cycle
- Epic static discharge
- Rare high voltage
- Rare urge to kill (+13% damage)
- Double strike
- Rare Heartbreak Strike (attack) at lvl 5
- Swift surrender (+10% dmg to Weak)

grats!
theres a slight internal cooldown when using zeus's special so putting it on chiron will only make it hit twice or thrice, so its not a very good boon to put on it

With the mirage shot no less! I haven't seen mirage shot on crystal beam,is an extra crystal or same crystal, extra laser?
hoary oracle
I think it's an extra crystal? but they spawn right on top of each other
the second beam shoots out at a slight angle until it has an enemy to track so it doesn't look much different
The only thing that would have made this build more fun is if I'd bothered to take a main slot demeter boon so I could get the blast damage at max chill. That, or have gotten arti legendary 
Honestly I probably could have done EM4 with this but I've never beaten it yet and was too scared to try.

Sorry for the bad quality lol. My first victory, with a weird weak+poison build, along with good criticals, 5 dashes, and the cursed blade. Completed in 35 minutes.

I just killed skelly in one hit. Definitely one of the hardest things I've done in Hades. On the way I discovered 3 bugs in the game, one somewhat major which I reported and two extremely minor which made this challenge much more difficult than it could've been.
brave fulcrum
I got ME on tartarus
novel dragon
I just killed skelly in one hit. Definitely one of the hardest things I've done ...
how?
theres a sorta skelly% going on in #h1-builds-and-combat rn
maybe you can hold the wr for that 
shy needle
yeah, I was inspired by it. If only timing started on the first hit I would hold it
novel dragon
arthur third strike?
shy needle
Strat is one of the most absurd things I've ever come up with: doing nemesis special to get crit, switch to Rama and do an almost charged shot. It sounded easy until I discovered the following bug: you can not crit on the first hit after switching weapon (or I'm incredibly unlucky and didn't crit 50 first hits in a row). So you have to go for a second hit which is extremely tight (you also have to attack after special for shorter backtrack animation to make it in time). You can also wonder why I didn't go for hestia, but even with second shot after reload I didn't get a crit 20 times in a row so I also suppose that for whatever reason it's impossible as well.
novel dragon
lmao that sounds so min max that im 100% into it
shy needle
another idea was to use Achilles spear, but sadly it's buff runs out if you switch the weapon
fickle knot
harsh agate

Delta is actually still a decent hammer
If you don't get rocket or cluster its a decent option
things like targeting or flurry are still better imo but delta is a solid option
But cluster rockets is the best hands down
gaunt stag
But cluster rockets is the best hands down
Absolutely, I'm just cursed and almost never get them both in the same run
gentle folio
Oh yeah
I've only gotten them twice
Even my PB isn't with them
I just can't seem to get them
gentle folio
Then that would be absolutely broken
Things like nemesis and achilles would be the best weapons in the game
It would make them extremely more consistent
gaunt stag
Well yeah it's definitely gonna make a lot of things overpowered
gentle folio
Eris probably would still outclass them but they would just become so much better
gaunt stag
Not trying to get an easy world record or anything

This is late but I want to clarify this is incorrect. It's a low priority sort of thing but I do sweep through this channel and nuke anything that is not a victory screen, as per guidelines.
There are other channels that are more suitable for things such as high damage output shots and the like.

only really used with lc4 for healing purposes
