[violet bloom]

epic

[vernal hornet]

I almost died

[lunar peak]

oh my

[violet bloom]

Nice

[twin karma]

Not even close

[rancid adder]

sooo, I won a First Run with Hell Mode on. I usually only post in the speedrun discord, but I'm pretty proud of this one.

[violet bloom]

Nice

[vernal hornet]

Gg!

[scenic nymph]

I wish I had done this on EM4. This was just stupid. So many opportunities to multiply damage, use casts, use effects, curse, poison, deflect, jolt, etc.

I had a full mompom too so some crazy levels on some of the boons

[trim swan]

Just wondering but how do you get the different victory screens? I thought it was related to the titled but I've gotten a few and haven't gotten a different victory screen

[amber pendant]

I think you can get those with the contractor after a certain point

[trim swan]

Gotcha

[violet bloom]

You have to buy everything in the work orders section and get bonds with certain characters

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[amber pendant]

took me a while, but I finally managed to set myself a new record!

really lucked out on the chaos boons tbh

[hollow jacinth]

Chaos adding a whopping 13.6 damage per strike

[fossil kraken]

Not a bad victory. >.>

[zinc lintel]

Instead of a brain there is an aspect of beowolf

[minor widget]

PP LVL 5

BIG PP POWER

[winged hedge]

this nuke of a build is so much fun

prolly can even get more disgusting with aphro and artemis

had a couple 1500+ crits tho

[wheat bloom]

first victory ever! 😃

[winged hedge]

atta boi

[tranquil sphinx]

congrats!!

[wide bloom]

my time sucked but 11 heat pog

[wheat bloom]

2nd victory

[wheat bloom]

those were back to back runs

[shut ruin]

drunken strike hestia

pog

[novel dragon]

Actual madlad

[shut ruin]

delta chamber

[violet bloom]

best build for hestia

[violet bloom]

nice

This is a crazy build

[regal folio]

WOOOOOOOOOO

[trim swan]

Got a pretty nasty Hunting Blades build going. The boss damage was crazy

[violet bloom]

This is a very complicated build

[night hornet]

Lucked out and got an honestly S-tier Eris build. Sea Storm makes Styx an absolute joke, even Tiny Vermin.

[violet bloom]

nice

[thorny cypress]

Did the thing! Used all the odd mirror upgrades along with the spear (which I'm not fond of)

[violet bloom]

nice

[thorny cypress]

gracias

[violet bloom]

i dont speak russian

[violet bloom]

nice

[violet bloom]

nice

[reef minnow]

same run but fron this scree

[violet bloom]

nice

[reef minnow]

Not sure what to go for. and buils and such...

[west fox]

https://prnt.sc/12mz7ne <- my first victory as a returning player

24 min run (a couple of minutes afk)

[reef minnow]

returning and I got a 21 minuet run

[hollow jacinth]

Lighting strike Rama

[polar lantern]

Smoooooth run.

[wheat bloom]

3rd victory

[chrome thistle]

Managed 32 heat first try, rama bow so nice. Patty and athena carried hard.

[amber pendant]

changes the victory screen style I think

like this

[odd niche]

Hmm. That's pretty cool ngl

But ima wait a bit till I give most people their ambrosia

[thorny cypress]

Another One! All weapons have cleared [Redacted] now

[trim swan]

Had a nasty run with Achilles spear. Not the best time but the boss damage towards the end was insane

[thorny cypress]

Yeah Boi!

[shut ruin]

i've been grinding for sub 10 32 heat and ended up shattering my anyheat pb!!

[dawn egret]

serrated point almost killed me lol

[thorny cypress]

I simply cannot fathom how you're able to clear a run so darn quickly.

[twin karma]

I beat EM4!

[copper stirrup]

WOO

[royal tangle]

Blender is OP 😄

[royal tangle]

did u get huge catch in first chamber? 🙂

[wheat bloom]

Yeah i did

[vernal hornet]

Gg! And isnt huge catch super rare??

[lunar peak]

i could be mistaken but i think that its a guarantee in the first chamber on the run after you get the fishing rod

[vernal hornet]

Yes but after you get that boon after owing the fishing rod

I just love fishing

[reef minnow]

Yes what about rama striker

[hollow jacinth]

Rama attack does over 100 damage, Zeus attack is therefore only about a 10% increase. You're better off going for deadly strike or heartbreak strike (Artemis or Aphrodite).

To be fair you did have splitting bolt

[reef minnow]

not sure when I did get it thoe.

and i was all rng cause I accidentaly put pomme

[hollow jacinth]

Even if you started with Zeus in Tartarus, thunder flourish is still a good option on rama

[reef minnow]

Didnt start with zeus

I usualy start with arti with bows.

tryin for critty bois, but idk whats the best for each stuf.

[hollow jacinth]

Generally Zeus for fast weapons like the rail and fists, Artemis for slow weapons like everything else. Tidal dash and merciful end are good on pretty much every build.

[reef minnow]

ended like with arti zeus drunk and one athena boon I think with exploding and dual shot

[reef minnow]

eheheh sorry

[reef minnow]

Hows this win

[hollow jacinth]

Nice!

[reef minnow]

How did I do?

[lunar peak]

thats a really nice setup

getting splitting on eris attack is always fun

[reef minnow]

The hammers were tippble bomb and shotgun

[violet bloom]

bruh

[lunar peak]

what does perfect clear mean

[reef minnow]

prob no damage

at all

[lunar peak]

wowowow

on 20 heat too?

thats crazy

[violet bloom]

max health hades fight

[lunar peak]

it means finishing with full health iirc

yes

oh ok that's much more reasonable

[violet bloom]

bruh im not that good

[reef minnow]

lol sorry

[lunar peak]

still not bad 👌

yeah very pog for sure

[violet bloom]

well one time i actually didnt get hit once during the hades fight

[lunar peak]

youve got such low health

[lunar peak]

oh what did you heal from in this fight?

[violet bloom]

you dont need health when you have high damage

[violet bloom]

i didnt heal, i just didint get hit

[lunar peak]

oh so this was said time?

[lunar peak]

true

[reef minnow]

Yeah I died to hades with fists

And I suck

rip my 3rd winstreak

[lunar peak]

F

[reef minnow]

3 wins and ded

[violet bloom]

no

[reef minnow]

alot

[violet bloom]

this time i got hit but i had the acorn

but one time i never got hit

[lunar peak]

aaaaah ok gotcha

yeah acorn is so nice

me goes hard

[reef minnow]

I suck sorry

[violet bloom]

This is basically chiron

[reef minnow]

???

[violet bloom]

what

what do you want

[reef minnow]

what do you mean?

[reef minnow]

When you say this is chiron

[hollow jacinth]

I've tried this build before, it's so bad haha. It did literally nothing until I got support fire. Tempest flourish is honestly better in the hope that you get sea storm or breaking wave.

[novel dragon]

sea storm is literally zeus special with more steps smh

Special only rama is fun with zeus or dio special

[reef minnow]

that happened

wats seastorm

[thorny cypress]

Duo boon for Zeus and Poseidon

[novel dragon]

poseidon and zeus duo

Makes your knockback effects generate lightning

[reef minnow]

Ohhhh had that on my gun build

[violet bloom]

Yeah it's not that good

[gentle folio]

15!

[shut ruin]

i kinda thought that this seemed like a decent build then i remembered that rama special arrows deal like 5 damage per hit

[reef minnow]

bloody hell

I died on asphodel

ON A BOW

😦

[trim swan]

only 1 heat but first run with Hera bow. I must say it's a lot more fun than Chiron imo

getting quick reload from Hermes helped a lot too

[shut ruin]

quick reload feels a LOT better than it seems

makes bosses that much less annoying

[grim smelt]

https://twitter.com/Ace41951013/status/1391115402164375552?s=20 love this game

Ace4195 (@Ace41951013)

CW minor spoilers for Hades. I DID IT FIRST CLEAR!!!!!! #HadesGame @SupergiantGames thank you for this great game

Twitter · May 8, 2021, 7:38 PM

[thorny cypress]

Way to go!

[hollow jacinth]

Shield PB with no attack boon until the end of styx

Smoldering air + rush delivery is so op

[simple sequoia]

not sure if this is good or not, but im glad i won with 3 death defiances left :)

[thorny cypress]

Ugh He slapped my booty in his second phase

[timber obsidian]

second EVER clear!!!

i think im finally getting to the point where i can survive without healing attributes

[lunar peak]

well done

[tranquil sphinx]

nice!!

[timber obsidian]

this was an insanely easy build

four dashes and flurry jab meant i could just turn brain off and span dash attack

[violet bloom]

Artemis isn't your beloved anymore?

[timber obsidian]

i have many beloveds

[unique juniper]

Lol

[timber obsidian]

no boons??

[wheat bloom]

no i took plenty of boons 😁

[bronze fox]

not a big deal for a lot of people, but my first full run without god mode :D

[lavish ibex]

Nice! I started on God Mode too and was happy with my first non god mode clear 🙂

[shut ruin]

from god mode to 40 heat

[bronze fox]

damn.. impressive

[tranquil sphinx]

congrats!!

[vernal hornet]

1st time i win through bombings lol

[dawn egret]

This run taught me that i need to get better at doing dash uppers

[vernal hornet]

Oooh gg! And what do you mean by dash uppers?

[shut ruin]

dash > special

[tawny thistle]

Dash + Special with Malphon

[lunar peak]

Fists have a dash attack but for special

[tawny thistle]

they also have a regular dash attack

[vernal hornet]

Im not sure to get

It

[fading night]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you right now...
The definition of SYNERGIES

[vernal hornet]

Lots of wind?

*wine

[fading night]

it's sure taught me that I can't keep track of more than 3 things at once

[fading night]

lots of FeStIvItIeS

[vernal hornet]

OMG YOU HAVE SLAUGHTERED HIM

And i guess he is drunker like this than by drinking wine himself lol

[fading night]

Hades does not drink... ... ... wine...

...so I solved that problem by injecting the alcohol straight into his (open) veins :)

[vernal hornet]

OH GOSH

Wait

does it make this wine conssumption a kind of druggy one?

or i don’t know how such bruh works lol

[fading night]

hang·o·ver
/ˈhaNGˌōvər/
noun: hangover; plural noun: hangovers

a severe headache or other after effects caused by drinking an excess of alcohol.

hangover implicitly implies that it's alcohol

[vernal hornet]

Im just joking a bit Lol

anyway rip Hades‘s head lol

[fading night]

if only I went for ares instead of poseidon in the first few rooms, I might also have had Curse of Nausea :p

[vernal hornet]

I guess on that point he got spared lol

I loved those booom and gg pal!

[unique terrace]

thanks

[vernal hornet]

Did you expect it when you started a try :D,

?

[unique terrace]

no

i didnt

[vernal hornet]

Damn what a shame

[unique terrace]

i love this game

[vernal hornet]

That was the surprise 😄

[vernal hornet]

me too

[unique terrace]

yeah

[vernal hornet]

Tho its not finished yet! Normally you have a lot to do left!

[unique terrace]

yes i know i have a lot to do yet

[vernal hornet]

😄

[dawn egret]

beOP

not having an attack boon made elysium terribly slow, unfortunately

[vernal hornet]

You still did it! Gg!

[rocky orbit]

Heat 32 complete!

[vernal hornet]

Gg!

[zinc lintel]

That’s a pact

[hollow jacinth]

AP2, FO0

[rocky orbit]

I know this is a silly pact setup

[reef minnow]

@umbral terrace

[umbral terrace]

Nice!

🤦‍♀️😅

Look at the health bar 😂

[timber obsidian]

who's boons are stubborn roots from

[reef minnow]

winter and shield

athena and uhh forgot the other name

[timber obsidian]

demeter?

ok ty

[reef minnow]

Win yet again

Won on my 69th attempt 🙂

Or maybe not

[unique juniper]

Wow thats alot of aphrodite

[fleet sundial]

You're trying hell mode ?

[violet bloom]

you shouldnt be surprised, its nyaa

[unique juniper]

Hey! Im new To this server,.ok? I dont know the people

[violet bloom]

oh true

now you know

[lime bane]

I play my Hell mode save when I just want to mess around and to get it up for high heat eventually since Personal Liability gives 1 more Heat.

[lime bane]

m the high priestess of the Temple of Aphrodite, after all! 💕

[lunar peak]

This is fax

[near hawk]

I have no idea what I ended up building

[violet bloom]

nice

but no smoldering air

[near hawk]

what's that?

[violet bloom]

aphro and zeus duo

[near hawk]

Oh that

[violet bloom]

makes your call charge fast but caps at 25%

[near hawk]

I tended to use my call after I charge greater call

[hollow jacinth]

With smoldering air you get billowing strength active all the time after the first 4-5s in each chamber

It's really good

[near hawk]

Alright then I’ll keep that in mind

[vernal hornet]

I lacked hope to defeat him but when i saw the fishing area bruh really wanted to win

[solar wind]

monthly challenge part one

[hollow jacinth]

Less damage than level 2 tidal dash

[solar wind]

shhh

[hollow jacinth]

32 heat no attack/special boon with no shackle is pretty impressive, GG

[gentle folio]

Why have special boon when you can have dash

[lyric wigeon]

All the time Sisyphus was carrying Bouldy, only for Bouldy to this time carry you

[vernal hornet]

;D

[hollow jacinth]

Fully loaded stygian, nice!

[forest bluff]

finally it's been a year of playing

[thorny wraith]

No Ice Wine but lots of Zeus lol

[thorny wraith]

ooooo charged shot Chaos is fun, congrats on the first clear!

[forest bluff]

thank you

[umbral forge]

extremely cursed eris 50 heat run

[wheat bloom]

wyd you pick up hazard bomb with eris?

[karmic kayak]

oh my gods

that looks so bad

[velvet ermine]

just got my very first hades kill!! not that impressive compared to everyone else here but it feels great to have that accomplishment

[karmic kayak]

nice

[umbral forge]

with approval process 2, you don't get to pick

I just made the most of what I was given

[wheat bloom]

ah wow

[umbral forge]

there's a reason I called it cursed haha. Hazard/spread are generally considered the worst hammers for eris

poseidon call did a good job carrying me though

[lavish ibex]

First 5 sack high heat win

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[shut ruin]

hades monthly challenge mom pom! i'll probably upload the video tomorrow

pretty sad run because i still haven't gotten used to flurry shot but at least i made it to the lvl 20 threshold

[near hawk]

What’s better on Spear? Lightning Strike or Thunder Flourish?

I assume the best boons for Achilles attack is either Heartbreak or Critical

[tawny thistle]

I got the Mom Pom run done! I'm gonna upload this run to my YouTube channel, trying something new

[vast pawn]

funny

[proud umbra]

congrats

[brave fulcrum]

ah yes

big chop

one of my fav

[sand cove]

This is one of my favorites

[brave fulcrum]

boonless nemesis

interesting choice

most peeps go for zag bow

[brave fulcrum]

twin shot on zag bow with shackle is a pretty strong combo

[lunar peak]

how do you not take boons? or did you just sell them all

[brave fulcrum]

take no more than 3 boons at each biomes, use the chamber reroll,

it's not about the journey, it's about the destination

[sharp grotto]

I did my first 32 heat run with Demeter fists😀

[violet bloom]

nice

[unique juniper]

Do i put something in hear when j beat the game, or when i beat the god hades?

[violet bloom]

both

post your victory screens here

[unique juniper]

This was a few days ago, me second ever clear. No ||heat||, i didn't understand that then.

[violet bloom]

nice

[lime bane]

Congratulations! 💕

[lime bane]

Wrong channel. Questions like that go in #h1-builds-and-combat.

[near hawk]

owo

[lyric wigeon]

positively surprised with how good that went

also

just when I start playing without privileged status - no sea storm, either T_T

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyP_cvEzyng delightful ending to that last one, tho

[violet bloom]

Mothers day challenge completed

[unique juniper]

How do you get pom blossom

[maiden mango]

|| Give nectar to Persephone ||

[reef minnow]

5 stack?

[unique juniper]

Oh! Thats the last ||keepsake||!

[novel dragon]

5 sack, as in they didnt get the sack in styx until the 5th chamber

its pretty rare, around like a 3% chance

[unique juniper]

Thats happend to me once

[rocky orbit]

Wow Excalibur stronk

[violet bloom]

nice

[astral plume]

That take a while to unlock?

[rocky orbit]

Eh not really. Once spear 4th aspect unlocks, the rest just kinda cascade

[lavish ibex]

Arthur is also not that bad at level 1 vs 5 compared to many other aspects

[vernal hornet]

I love that aspect

[rich talon]

the spear's hidden aspect is the death of me tbh

[near hawk]

This is the weirdest run i attempted

[violet bloom]

nice

[near hawk]

Is this valid? I wonder

[violet bloom]

wdym valid

[near hawk]

Well not the right way to say it but I was wondering how good Demeter is well in general?

[violet bloom]

oh

dem is fine

if you want to keep talking about this you should go to #h1-builds-and-combat

[near hawk]

Alright

[violet bloom]

melt bosses with pink beams and lightning

[near hawk]

Ooooh

Melted stage 3 dad with no duos or legendaries

[thorny cypress]

Did the thing! Heat 1 with Hades Spear

[lunar peak]

where does the lightning come from

oh is that zeus call

its hard to tell it apart from athena call

[tawny thistle]

Athena's a more dull shade of yellow

[vernal hornet]

Damn legendary demeter's boon is violent lol

[unique juniper]

Can you translate the boon to English?

[vernal hornet]

If i translate it myself i can call it Winter/Winterly harvest

But i doubt

[violet bloom]

Winter harvest

[vernal hornet]

Its the real name

Oh!

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tranquil sphinx]

aaaa im happy i beat ||theseus|| for the first time on normal mode the second time getting to that fight on this save (my first like 35 hrs in the game were in godmode lol) i got to ||hades|| as well but died halfway thru ||his first phase||

the daedalus hammer that gives u 2 healing every time u attack w/ sword saved my butt (i think cursed slash? i forgot the name) anyway i need to get better at dodging pfft

[lunar peak]

robby i dont think you have to spoiler theseus in a channel dedicated to beating hades

but gj

[tranquil sphinx]

oh whoops

well just in case

[lunar peak]

you are making pretty clear progress i gotta say

yesterday when i was watching you play you were not nearly as good as the pure skill i saw today 😔

[tranquil sphinx]

😤😤💪💪

soon i’ll be speedrunning like u /j

[lunar peak]

i dont speedrun yet

i'm working on it

[tranquil sphinx]

you don’t???

what have i been watching u do then

[lunar peak]

practice

[tranquil sphinx]

oh so u just mean bc u haven’t been recording them or

[lunar peak]

this is my new pb i got today

[lunar peak]

well yeah

[tranquil sphinx]

YOO dude good job

[lunar peak]

and i run the modpack for quality of life

which would disqualify me

[tranquil sphinx]

ur previous pb was the 14:20 right?

[lunar peak]

yeah the gun run

previously my best sword run was 15:25 or so

[tranquil sphinx]

isnt it fists

[lunar peak]

oh yeah

thats what i meant

[tranquil sphinx]

oh wait nvm

oh wiat yea the sword is the new one

[lunar peak]

yeah

[tranquil sphinx]

dude pog good job ur getting so much faster dang

[lunar peak]

with many hours of practice comes 1 minute shaved

[tranquil sphinx]

actually such a gamer moment

[lunar peak]

😎

[lime bane]

This channel isn't really for boasting about beating Theseus.

[tranquil sphinx]

oh sorry i thought it was hades as in just the game in general

[lunar peak]

youll be able to post a victory pic soon enough robert

[tranquil sphinx]

i was just happy i got at least that far after playing on like ..maxed out godmode for ages lol

[lime bane]

Yeah, you'll get him!

[lunar peak]

im just proud youre a sword main after my own heart

[tranquil sphinx]

sword is so much fun

[lunar peak]

this is fax

[thorny wraith]

Cleared EM3 and 10 heat first try, Dio special with curse of nausea on Rama is great.

[tranquil sphinx]

nice!!

[simple sequoia]

oml all of those go so well together

[twin karma]

I beat 15 heat after a good bit of tries . I also didn’t get divine dash until Styx, pain

[violet bloom]

Nice

[shut ruin]

em4 in sub 12 minutes, neat

had so much damage reduction dad spin dealt 14 damage

[rigid socket]

Finally beat 32 heat!

[novel dragon]

flaring spin

[sharp grotto]

Congratulations 👏

[raven oyster]

"just dont get hit lmao" ok

[fading night]

If this was a film/television show/series/etc., this is the moment when you'd go "ok, he's either going missing, or home is on fire."

[lunar peak]

first 32 heat clear

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[lunar peak]

thanks, it took a good 7 attempts or so

i tried a few different aspects but eris seemed to do the best, unsurprisingly

rama was a bit too slow, made it hard to take FO or TD3, which wouldve meant id need a lot of damage and health buffs for the enemies

arthur showed some promise but ultimately had the same issue as rama in the end

[brave fulcrum]

7 attempts? not that bad, pretty good and other stuff

[lime bane]

Rama can clear FO2 TD3 no problem, that's just practice in the end.

[lunar peak]

also tried nemesis and guan yu, guan yu was probably possible but i need to get significantly better at dodging for that

[lime bane]

When is 40 Heat?

[brave fulcrum]

[lunar peak]

oh yeah, i just mean like with my playstyle as it is rn

[lunar peak]

uh oh

ill probably do 32 sword before anything higher than 32

but before that even ill likely get 16 on the other weapons

[lime bane]

I went from 32 straight to 41. You can do it. Don't be scared.

[brave fulcrum]

[lunar peak]

is there a 40 heat recommendation anywhere i can have a look at? I ended up using the 32 heat setup that's pinned and it worked pretty well

[solar wind]

add HL5 and BP2 to your setup

[violet bloom]

Cursed run

[vast pawn]

first spear clear

[violet bloom]

nice

[vast pawn]

i didn't choose those

wait

[violet bloom]

what

[vast pawn]

i didn't chose those boons for the boon list

[violet bloom]

oh

[shut ruin]

decided to try diobeo while practicing em4 with beo on a whim, almost sub 9'd

[shut ruin]

unyielding kinda carried ngl

[violet bloom]

nice

[lunar peak]

what hammers did you take originally

[violet bloom]

cursed slash and double nova

tried to get flurry slash with the anvil

[lunar peak]

ah, cursed and flurry, the famous duo

[violet bloom]

im gonna retry

[lunar peak]

or should i say infamous

[violet bloom]

its not as cursed as i could make it

[lunar peak]

they r both ok together tho

[lavish ibex]

Heat PB, finally!

[violet bloom]

nice

[violet bloom]

nice

[lyric wigeon]

lucifer seems ok

attack so bad I replaced it with two turrets though

[violet bloom]

Slightly more cursed run

[unique terrace]

First time under 15 minutes

[royal tangle]

finally got a hoarding slash run without failing it

[solar wind]

Kinda lost my focus but monthly challenge part 2 done

[lunar peak]

tried doing a hoarding slash run

it was fun, a little weird

got super unlucky with boons

i got like 4 extra artemis and aphrodite that i sold because they werent heart rend /:

[lime bane]

No Cast is likely why you didn't get Heart Rend.

[lunar peak]

oh? does having a cast change the chance?

[lime bane]

#h1-builds-and-combat

[tawny thistle]

yeha I think it does

[unique juniper]

just now.

[royal tangle]

Cheesed cursed strike like mad 🙂

[hollow jacinth]

EM4 cursed slash is tough, impressive.

[unique juniper]

Thats a pog clear

[ashen timber]

i generally stayed away from the shield because when i tried it a while back i really didnt like it but i tried it again and this was probably the easiest run ive ever done LOL

this was so fun

[lunar peak]

thunder flourish on aspect of zeus is so fun

[ashen timber]

right

[wheat bloom]

won without using death defiance

[strange token]

52 heat zag and demeter fists 😄

[shut ruin]

heat of the week

[odd niche]

Only 52? Damn. Didn't know people in this server are this bad

[shut ruin]

yeah bro max heat fists isn't that hard 😎 😎 💪 👊

[shut ruin]

pretty fun hangover build

[steep falcon]

First win bois

[vast pawn]

bgg

[near hawk]

I finally got a new best time

[lunar peak]

new pb

tried merciful end nemesis for the first time

feels good

also featuring damageless dad

[near hawk]

Nice

[zinc lintel]

I love the Vicious Cycle with no blade rift boons

[violet bloom]

aspect of zeus is basically a blade rift

[zinc lintel]

Imagine if Vicious worked on Zoos special

[steep falcon]

Ik lmao, I also had an epic blade rift upgrade cause I had one that I sold earlier on, the other commons from ares would've actually helped more but it was my first legendary so I couldn't turn it down

[zinc lintel]

Gotta do it for the prophecy

It's funny I respect it

[steep falcon]

Yessir

[lunar peak]

Assuming it was still at +2, it wouldn't be that good

You get, at most, 3 procs a second.

Rifts are like twice as fast

That's all assuming enemies are still hit by consecutive special hits

[zinc lintel]

rifts hit every .5 seconds right

or is that hangover

[lunar peak]

That's hangover

[zinc lintel]

ah

I don't think they give us the damage interval for rifts in game

which is annoying

[lunar peak]

Nope

From what I know, it's like 5-6 times a second

But I could be wrong

[shut ruin]

is vicious cycle actually a low dps increase for hunting blades in that case

[lunar peak]

Oh it's fantastic on Hunting Blades

... on bosses

[shut ruin]

good enough for me

[lunar peak]

Against rooms, the bonus falls off the moment the blade isn't touching something

Which is gonna happen a lot

Even with the duo

[shut ruin]

it doesn't just last until the rift dissipates?

well being able to deal a lot of damage to bosses is still desirable so /shrug

[vernal hornet]

And funny how boons cover a bit the

Right part lol

[violet bloom]

not enough darkness or gemstones

[true hazel]

+1008 from hades lol

[thorny cypress]

how did you get three of the same boon?

[violet bloom]

chaos can do that

[thorny cypress]

oh...

[true hazel]

Fated Persuasion riggs the dice

[violet bloom]

bonk

[lavish ibex]

Finally got this, fists are hard

[violet bloom]

Nice

[thorny cypress]

New personal best!

[unique juniper]

killed him with his own weapon, ha!

[violet bloom]

Nice

[unique terrace]

First time 16 Heat

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lunar peak]

2 ME runs, 2 PBs

that had a 56 second dad fight too, i was pretty proud of that

[thorny cypress]

I genuinely cannot comprehend how lots of you are able to get even sub 20 minute runs let alone sub 12 or even 10. That's just bonkers to me.

[twin karma]

ME do be crazy

But really it just takes practice and planning just like with any skill

[lunar peak]

ME do be crazy

[twin karma]

You'll get there eventually

[thorny cypress]

I struggle to make it to Hades with 3 heat lol

[lunar peak]

i mean for me i just sorta learned a few tricks that really help, like pressing escape when making room decisions and stuff like that

it makes a big difference

the small things add up really quick in hades

[thorny cypress]

I feel I need to have a greater understanding of the boons and how they can be best implemented with what aspect.
thanks though!

[lunar peak]

thats fair

ive done much reading

and i still learn so much on a daily basis

[wheat bloom]

festive fog is pretty good

[lime bane]

Yeah, Yom is always trying to absorb all the theory and asks lots of questions and follow-up questions, shares any ideas he has to hear what others think, etc.

[lunar peak]

thats fax

[amber pendant]

Fun build, my fully charged special dealt around 850 damage

[violet bloom]

Nice

[wheat bloom]

new pb

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lunar peak]

tried smoldering+dio, was fantastic

[violet bloom]

Nice

[wheat bloom]

even faster

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lime bane]

Nice! First sub 20!

[lunar peak]

ME nemesis too strong

PB after PB after PB today

didnt even get impending doom on this run

[lunar peak]

broooo i didnt even get merciful end and i still PBd, this build is nuts

i shaved a whole 2 minutes off my time today

[twin karma]

Nice

[muted jackal]

my poseidon build ended up with respectable dash-strike dmg

[kindred hull]

em4 fists

[tacit blaze]

May's monthly challenge complete!

[amber pendant]

first 32 heat clear

Beowulf and trippy shot was surprisingly good

[fading night]

too bad that wasn't on a higher difficulty <3

[royal tangle]

Eris Rocketshotgun. Last battle was too easy 😄

[lyric wigeon]

oof, nice 😄

[lunar peak]

thats my favorite build

hard to get, probability wise, but so much fun when you do

[royal tangle]

yea it was really doing rediculous damage by the end

wish i got the duo, but it probably wouldn't of added much anyway lol

[lunar peak]

which duo?

o heartrend?

yeah that wouldve been nice

[royal tangle]

i think crit was like 1650 a rocket without it anyway 🙂

[steep falcon]

There's no media channel so I'll just put this here but I got 2 heroics in one boon lol

Didn't even have a boon upgrade thing

[lunar peak]

whenever it gives you a replacement, it will always be a higher rarity than what you have already

because both of your originals are epic, it had to give you heroics

[steep falcon]

Oh, neat

[zinc lintel]

That's also the only way you can get heroics as boon offerings

Besides that you can get them through rarity upgrades from Eurydice or the blessed Rare Crop

[lunar peak]

yeah, otherwise you can only get as high as epic

[azure salmon]

this should be illegal, absolutely wrecked EM4 hades

[unique juniper]

Did you know you can kill yourelf by going next to a wall and throwing cast at that wall? Its cool.

[zinc lintel]

um

no you can't

[violet bloom]

yes you can, one time i had that boon and i threw it against the wall and then hades slapped me

[shut ruin]

i think you're supposed to throw it in the general direction of the guys that are actively trying to send you back to the house

[violet bloom]

ye i think thats why i died

kinda weird how the cast killed me tho

s l a p p

[lyric wigeon]

nice!

the "beat dad with a heavy piece of metal from a safe distance" build

[violet bloom]

nice

[twin karma]

Deadly reversal, because ME wasn’t enough on its own

[violet bloom]

nice

[clever pendant]

flawlessed the big man himself!

[violet bloom]

nice

[violet bloom]

EM4 is easy

[unique juniper]

How you get so many aphro duos?

[violet bloom]

I got lucky

[lunar peak]

nyaa would be proud

[vale galleon]

BOOM, It's raining duos !

[vast pawn]

that

[vale galleon]

Ares's madnesssss

[rough cradle]

first time trying out em 4

holy jeez

[violet bloom]

nice

i have never seen somebody get heroic greatest reflex

[rough cradle]

lol

[zinc lintel]

Rama is a castpect

[terse reef]

Trying to beat monthly challenge, the Nyx's part. Got unlucky with backstab / first hit boons, but this run I got pretty good Dash-Strike damage, so I got that going for me, which is nice. I forgot just how good Hestia is.
https://i.imgur.com/ZO6Wx42.png

[clever pendant]

Ah, this was a fun build, but it did need a lot of work

[violet bloom]

I was close to 6 duos

[simple sequoia]

h o w

[fickle fiber]

the luck of the gods

[violet bloom]

i made the mistake of taking arty call instead of cast so i couldnt get heart rend and i wasnt gonna spend my rerolls on a pool of purging, and i didnt get curse of nausea from dio

i was supposed to get ares attack, dio special, ARTY cast, aphro dash, and ZEUS call

[violet bloom]

nice

[violet bloom]

nice

[tranquil sphinx]

first n second time beating hades off godmode :D

wouldve been 3 times with a hazard bomb/artemis crit on special build but either my game or my controller crashed right before going into hades :/

[royal tangle]

Didn't Get all the flood shot duos... 🧂

[twin karma]

I beat Hades with max health but it gave me the duo digger title instead of perfect clear

[violet bloom]

nice

[lunar peak]

yeah thats the worst, ive only gotten it once and the same thing happened

but it was smth else, not duo digger

[simple sequoia]

how much dmg was ur special doing

[tranquil sphinx]

a good 1000ish

[simple sequoia]

consistently?

[tranquil sphinx]

yep

[simple sequoia]

niceee

[tranquil sphinx]

sometimes it did like 880 but usually it was like 1027 or smth, i don’t pay too much attention to numbers bc i get distracted lol

[simple sequoia]

a ranged 1k must have made hades easy

[tranquil sphinx]

yep haha

[simple sequoia]

same

[tranquil sphinx]

the other build i had which had artemis crit on special was doing usually 600 damage and then 1200 on crits but i liked this better

(i didn’t get to do the hades fight w that build bc my game crashed right before rip)

[simple sequoia]

ooof

[tranquil sphinx]

it’s ok tho bc then i got to do the aphrodite special run which was even better

[violet bloom]

nice

what cast are you using?

[clever pendant]

Aphro!

[violet bloom]

nice

[clever pendant]

Oh that crop is horrendous

its stygian too

[violet bloom]

nice

[clever pendant]

finally acconplished THAT pipe dream build, fully-loaded stygian

[violet bloom]

4 cast stygian is insane

[violet bloom]

nice

[violet bloom]

Bonk part 2

[clever pendant]

woah that bonk looks outrageous

[cloud pumice]

first perfect clear, got it accidentally on my new hell mode save (as you can see by the semi-random boon choices)

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tranquil sphinx]

2 more successful runs :D

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lunar peak]

my second 32 heat run completed

i forgot to switch my mirror things beforehand but i had a kind elysium so it was ok

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lunar peak]

32 heat on sword and gun, meanwhile 3 on bow and fists lmao

oh that was my 32nd clear on sword too, how poetic

[vernal hornet]

Oooh gg

[trim swan]

Failed to get Merciful End, lost 2 death defiance's while fighting Theseus and Asterius since the timer dropped to zero, and lost 2 dd's and the tooth against Hades trying to beat the timer. Needless to say this was a tense run

[vernal hornet]

Almost died x-X

[vernal hornet]

Wait is merciful end a boon?

[trim swan]

yeah, the duo boon for Athena and Ares

[vernal hornet]

I totally forgot what it does

[twin karma]

Deflecting automaticlly activates doom

[vernal hornet]

And it feels like youe run still went great to this cool result :D

[tranquil sphinx]

first time properly using twin fists :D

[lunar peak]

Robby pogged today, he beat hades for the first time without god mode and then proceeded to beat him 4 more times in a row using a total of 4 different weapons

[tranquil sphinx]

anything is possible with ur guidance tommy lol

literally i realised the reason i had such a hard time before is just bc i am terrible at choosing boons

[lunar peak]

You’d be much better off listening to these guys they know way more than me

[tranquil sphinx]

i don’t understand numbers so my strat is just oh yea this looks cool

[tawny thistle]

that's my strat too

[tranquil sphinx]

me 🤝 go kart man
this boon looks cool i’ll take it

[royal tangle]

😍

[violet bloom]

Nice

[royal tangle]

just need to find a way to cheese the shield now 🙂

[tawny thistle]

oh that's easy, Shield's OP

[royal tangle]

im thinking hold down block and use auto revenge

[simple sequoia]

not the best build but at least i won lol

and trippy flare was beyond helpful

[violet bloom]

Nice

[simple sequoia]

oh wait i can pin stuff

there

calculated risk was AMAZING

[violet bloom]

Nice

[novel dragon]

Whys it so dark wtf

Oh wait are you on an hdr monitor, i think someone else had that problem too

[twin karma]

Only true gamers play Hades on super dark mode

[shut ruin]

extreme measures 4 but awesome

[tranquil sphinx]

@teal pond top one is the spear build i mentioned, im rly bad at remembering boon names sorry haha

[fading night]

"Medic? Naaah, I've got this"

(I actually perfect-cleared Hades, but it gave Middle-Management Cutter instead :( there's no way to prove it was a perfect clear bc of the spin's healing (which I very much used during the fight))

[simple sequoia]

guan yu more like guan ew

jkjk

its cool

[violet bloom]

Cool

[simple sequoia]

nice

[violet bloom]

pew pew pew

[lunar peak]

this was certainly interesting

i was only actively going for splitting and smoldering, but hey, thats some prophecy duos down

[tranquil sphinx]

first victory w bow :D unfortunately i got absolutely wrecked w shield before this run so i lost my streak oops

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lunar peak]

truly a gaming moment

[twin karma]

Gamering

[violet bloom]

Im addicted to rama

[simple sequoia]

yay

[violet bloom]

Nice

[lunar peak]

my final 16 heat weapon, was a pretty fun run

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tranquil sphinx]

2 entire heat 😎 😤

i got the WORST luck in styx this run.. i had to do all the rooms and deal w tiny vermin

[lunar peak]

@twin karma ill just share it here cause this is where media goes

more than double the use of sword than anything else

[violet bloom]

Nice

[tranquil sphinx]

living up to ur title

[ashen timber]

this was a weird run i ended up swapping artemis cast for athena but it worked out in the end

[lunar peak]

Nice! What does that little thing on your health bar mean?

[violet bloom]

Nice

[violet bloom]

Nothing, it's just a badge

[lunar peak]

Oh

I see

[winged needle]

Got my first victory earlier today

[lime bane]

Not this type of media. Link it from imgur or a private discord in #h1-discussion or #h1-builds-and-combat. This channel is for victories and 100% achievements.

[heady portal]

to add onto the above message, gently pokes channel pin as a reminder of where certain content goes :) everyone's been pretty good with victory posts lately

[lunar peak]

ah right, my bad! sorry to break the streak

[rough cradle]

ice beams go brrrrrrrrrrr

[terse reef]

Completed May's Monthly Challenge, yay!

[rough cradle]

way too close

[tranquil sphinx]

blender run >:D

[fallen frost]

New speed record:

[rough cradle]

that was fun

[violet bloom]

nice

[tranquil sphinx]

got my 10th clear :D & now ive done all the weapons at least once

[violet bloom]

nice

[lime bane]

Congratulations! 💕

[violet bloom]

Water gun

[lunar peak]

deadliest of water guns

[twin karma]

wet

[violet bloom]

pp sprayer

[royal tangle]

This won by itself barely have to fight at all 🙂

[rough cradle]

ah damnit i lost a run where i had 2 legendaries

[lunar peak]

finally got around to trying a boonless run, although im not sure if chaos is normally allowed. Anyway, olympian free!

[violet bloom]

nice

[lunar peak]

actually this is a better representation

[violet bloom]

nice

[simple sequoia]

Shackle must've been a live saver

[lunar peak]

it was nice in asphodel

[violet bloom]

well its what you are supposed to use on a boonless run

[simple sequoia]

who could've guessed

[lunar peak]

first serious demeter run, was pretty fun

[violet bloom]

thats a horrible build

[lunar peak]

ikr

felt terrible

[violet bloom]

whoever suggested that build to you is an idiot

[lunar peak]

seriously

[lunar peak]

decided to try a special based beowulf build. it didnt work well, so i switched to dash

[twin karma]

Beat 20 heat :)

[violet bloom]

Epic

[lunar peak]

@tranquil sphinx put me through this.

[tranquil sphinx]

i just made decisions the same way i did when i first played the game and didnt know how to actually make builds good lol its no wonder how much i died

[simple sequoia]

that was stupidly close

and a prom stone btw

so 6 casts in total

[violet bloom]

Epic gamer moment

[tranquil sun]

Oh god, high heat fists is so hard, hopefully, boons carried me

[simple sequoia]

fun

first time getting streak 2 pogg

[glossy terrace]

I literally screamed at the top of my lungs when I won the fight because I lost a death defiance RIGHT at the end of Meg!

AND LERNIE!!!

[lunar peak]

LESS GOOOOOO

[ashen timber]

first clear with fists

i genuinely have no idea how i survived

everything was going smoothly until hades phase 2 where i just forgot how to dodge apparently

[fading night]

shop discount and sweet nectar by room 8 let's goooo (yes, I very much count that as a victory c: )

[pallid hawk]

32 heat!! now i can focus mostly on bounties/gemstones/getting chaos fish since I have all the statues. Saw someone on reddit recommend a shackle run so the pact wouldn't be too bad and honestly great advice

[fading night]

DAAAAAAAYUMN that aspect, though :O

Didn't really like when I first tried it and never touched it again on my first playthrough. I was NOT ready for this

[lunar peak]

32 heat beowulf, 3 down 3 to go

[violet bloom]

epic gamer moment

[lunar peak]

getting rare crop 2nd boon was nice, considering my flare was common to begin

[violet bloom]

grandma carried that run

[lunar peak]

mirage was also very clutch

but yeah honestly true

[tranquil sphinx]

i may have gotten addicted to blender runs theyre just so fun

[violet bloom]

nice

[red lark]

lvl 11??

[tranquil sphinx]

i got like 4 poms in styx/charon’s shop lol

[violet bloom]

BIG NUMBER

[lyric wigeon]

truly goes up to 11 😄

also damn, love how you've got "perfect clear" and that 3-charged acorn is just sitting there being smug

[violet bloom]

big number = no hit

[lyric wigeon]

kudos, by all means! but I always thought of 0 as a pretty low number

[violet bloom]

nah 0 is a very big number

[zinc lintel]

0 isn't even a number

[violet bloom]

yes it is

[zinc lintel]

0 is a concept, a lack of a number

[violet bloom]

i dont know man, 0 seems like a pretty big number

[mossy root]

second clear, still need to get below 15

[violet bloom]

nice

[violet bloom]

I got everything but heartrend

[lunar peak]

this took the most attempts of any of my 32 heat attempts yet

[hollow jacinth]

Why passion dash? Surely tidal dash is better than heart rend.

[twin karma]

heart rend = big number

[violet bloom]

This

[zinc lintel]

Tidal Dash on fists makes hitting enemies with fists rather hard

[hollow jacinth]

I mean, it worked for me

[zinc lintel]

Go off then

[hollow jacinth]

If the Zeus attack dem fists wr uses tidal dash, it works fine

[scenic nymph]

Got Rare Crop early so some Heorics in. I originally wanted to do a gem farm (why it's zero heat) but I guess it just altered to whatever I had fun with. Artemis delivered heavy.

[tranquil sphinx]

3rd attempt at 8 heat w eris rail was successful :D

[lunar peak]

pogging it

[simple sequoia]

quite a few algebra teachers would like to know your location

[ashen timber]

so many dashes

[strange token]

53 heat beo

[amber pendant]

after getting trolled in styx for the third time, I finally managed to reach Hades without any boons

[novel dragon]

Ay congrats!

[royal tangle]

This got a lot easier towards the end for some reason 🙂

[violet bloom]

nice

[zinc lintel]

Those are some interesting choices

[royal tangle]

chaos boon giving me 80 life near the start helped a ton

[violet bloom]

yeah

[royal tangle]

first room piercing wave wooosh and then i get support fire it was pretty 🙂

[red lark]

first win on this save. think i did pretty well for not playing in l;ike 6 months. This was done with only 1 death defiance and stuff

[violet bloom]

nice

[red lark]

i think i used my death defiance then refilled it but never needed to use it

hades with fight with shield is easy

[steady hatch]

One of my best Stygyan Shield runs

[violet bloom]

nice

[lunar peak]

stygian shield?

also yeah thats a disgusting build

[violet bloom]

yes

[scenic nymph]

By far, the absolute best I've rolled. I think I killed Hades in record time. I nearly one-shotted his second phase. This also had Wave Pounding which did an extra 28 percent damage.

[violet bloom]

epic

[scenic nymph]

with rupture, that's 150 damage a second

[violet bloom]

only while the enemy is moving

[scenic nymph]

right

[hollow jacinth]

If Zeus shield is very low level, I would recommend not putting a percentage god on the special, put Zeus instead. Your special probably only did 26 damage each hit here, with thunder flourish it would have done 38 with level 1 common.

At level 5 shield, aphro special is about the same as Zeus, but at level 1, Zeus is much better.

[royal tangle]

This was so promising...both of those duos are from before leaving tartarus. so disapointed that i didnt get drowning or blizzard shot 😦 It will happen!!!!

[violet bloom]

epic

[steady shard]

uggghh

[violet bloom]

This build can get you 8 duos but i got 3 because i have the greatest rng

[glad hull]

First win on the switch.

I should compare it to my steam wins

[lunar peak]

finally finished 32 heat spear

now its just fists to go

[royal tangle]

I wont stop trying until i get floodshot with 4+ duos 🙂

[uneven umbra]

Just here to boast about winning 32 heat...https://www.twitch.tv/riversofcraig/clip/BoringSilkyRatGivePLZ-Eu6PyD-xQcUDpQQQ

[violet bloom]

nice

[violet bloom]

40 heat rama

demeter carried this run

[lunar peak]

finally finished my quest for 32 all weapons

[violet bloom]

nice

[royal tangle]

Just me clearing EM4 with random junk on a spear. Turns out if you put all the wrong things in a recipe it can somehow come out alright.

[violet bloom]

nice

[lunar peak]

splitting on attack is nice

[violet bloom]

yellow ball attack

[lunar peak]

what is ambiguity bonus?

[violet bloom]

its nothing lmao

its a random boon from bouldy that does nothing

but its worth the nectar

[royal tangle]

i dont get why it varies from 1-10% for the other random effects it can do but its kinda funny 🙂

[tranquil sphinx]

8 heat on sword n fists! :D

[violet bloom]

nice

[zinc lintel]

you should get boiling blood it helps a lot

[tranquil sphinx]

is that the one where u do more damage to foes w bloodstones in them?

[violet bloom]

ye its great

[zinc lintel]

Yea

It's super helpful against bosses and tanky enemies

[royal tangle]

Im a 🥔

[violet bloom]

nice

[hollow jacinth]

Zeus shield lambent plume fun run, ended up getting a 40s shield PB on 19 heat...

[violet bloom]

nice

[hollow jacinth]

Dad took under 40 seconds to beat

Proud bearing + Zeus aid + hyper delivery + splitting bolt is OP

[twin karma]

Same

[wide kettle]

i would be mad if i didnt get rare crop///

[hollow jacinth]

You must have only taken a couple hits, for EM4 that's impressive

[twin karma]

no acorn either

[wide kettle]

AYE I MADE IT

timer really stresses me out tho-

well i just keep distance and spam bom/
system target slow him down so

for the previous run i mean

[violet bloom]

But why the health say 115/115 but health bar is low

[wide kettle]

?

oh

wait

wth

[violet bloom]

[wide kettle]

i really dont know

why is my game full of bug-

[violet bloom]

Hmmmmm

[twin karma]

[hollow jacinth]

This is a ridiculous build, looks like you got everything that could have possibly increased your damage!

[simple sequoia]

9th run DOWN

i am S P E E D

[violet bloom]

Nice

[opal willow]

first 32 heat clear for the statue! absolute mess of a run too, relying fully on aspect of zeus special for dps, aphro attack also helped a lot :)))

[lunar peak]

nicely done

40 heat when

[opal willow]

when there's a statue for it

LMAO

[royal tangle]

And I am FISTMAN

[violet bloom]

Nice

[violet bloom]
