that is like the perfect beo build

#

other than cast rarity or maybe splash dash

severe jungle
#

The lightning rod barely does anything since you want to pick up your casts instantly, but it’s still really funny

steep jackal
#

yeah

#

but the fully loaded + sea storm + mirage shot is insane

severe jungle
#

Yeah

steep jackal
#

idk if they also have charge shot

#

or jolted

severe jungle
#

I play with passion flare so I’m not used to sea storm being a good boon

#

They have jolted but no cshot

zinc lintel
#

Seastorm doesn't proc off of Flood Flare but it does proc off of regular shield attacks so that's neat

#

Oh wait that's Pulv

nvm it was useless lmao

Well not useless but kinda useless

Nice, I see the speedrunning modpack symbols

You should try starting with the conch keepsake so that you get guaranteed tidal dash, it helps clear early rooms

Hi everyone. Needed somewhere to post this and profess my love for supergiant. They have no idea the impact this game has had on me. It's unreal. Reached my goal of 32 heat on all weapons last night

that was stupidly fun

#

everyone just got tossed around the place

#

triple bomb op

brave wedge
#

There's overkill, and then there's whatever the underworld this damn run is

#

the run was already stacked because of the insane DPS but adding Athena and Breaching/Shadow slash made Hades a damn joke

#

The odds of me beating that time any time soon is low but i'm going to go for it regardless

#

did i mention i also got 30% extra damage from Than's keepsake? because i got that

Ah ok

Arctic Blast Glacial Glare is one of my favorite things in the game. But it’s a lot less funny without mirage shot

#

stubborn defiance, ruthless relfex and high confidence. that looks uh like a bit of self imposed difficulty

zinc lintel
#

High confidence stubborn defiance lol

prisma tree
#

thanks!! and ill look at the high confidence and stubborn defiance, im assuming they conflict in some way

warm notch
# prisma tree thanks!! and ill look at the high confidence and stubborn defiance, im assuming ...

well if youre using stubborn defiance its usually due to having trouble in regular rooms while high confidence is the opposite where youre not losing much health at all. Neither of those mirror talents are recommended for early game because they generally mean much less survivability. its usually better to have three death defiances over stubborn because unless its high heat because it means a bigger layer of safety against bosses and even if you lose one or two before hades youre gunna be better off than with stubborn and you can also anyways get refilled with athena boons, patty, or well of charon.

#

uh also ruthless reflex is mostly a lot worse than greater reflex unless you get lucky and get a lot of extra dashes from hermes. Being limited to one dash makes avoiding damage a lot harder and the 50% dodge isnt really worth it. honestly you probably made things like 3x or 5x harder for yourself

prisma tree
#

ah i see, yeah ill definitely change that

#

thanks for the feedback :D!

Bruh the rng. Today's first attempt on 32 heat guan yu and i got like absoluty everything

Oo, noted

similar to thanatos rooms

#

Huh

#

Did not think of that, guess so

severe jungle
#

Yeah exactly

warm notch
#

uh also since youre using rail better to go fiery presence since that affects the special

severe jungle
#

But the other two are even more time loss

warm notch
#

tbh doesnt come into effect that often since youre spamming attack

severe jungle
#

CF and MM are actually kinda big time loss

warm notch
#

but if you get rocket bomb its easier

severe jungle
#

And yeah, use Fiery

#

Also use Family Favorite

#

And go for Tidal Dash

#

It’s the third best boon for your build, behind lightning strike and jolted

@minor widget

#

Trust me I know, my cousin speedruns Eris rail

#

His PB is 7:20 something

Ok I definitely underestimated Exploding Launcher

That was just a faster version of Guan Yu and without the insane health downside

minor widget
severe jungle
#

Eww no

#

Why would I use PS

#

How am I supposed to proc that? I didn’t even usually apply a single status effect, let alone two

#

That would be a terrible idea

minor widget
severe jungle
#

That privileged status was probably almost never active

#

And if it was, it was from your call or from you playing suboptimally by using the attack

minor widget
#

Jolted + Razor Shoals

#

Sea Storm procs both

#

That spear is infused with PS

severe jungle
#

Ohh I forgot jolted procs from sea storm

#

Still, you’re not getting it active until you have 5 specific boons

minor widget
#

So does Zeus Legendary

severe jungle
#

So it’s just so much worse than FF

#

I highly suggest against PStatus

Family Favorite is actually very good

Hades is by far the biggest learning curve cause you really have to keep your distance as much as possible and I'm used to being an aggressive melee fighter

As you get more experienced with the game, you will be more comfortable staying in melee range

Depends on weapon, but at core: LC4 w stubborn, em3, bp2, mm, customs, fo2, TD3 then fill it out with your choice of hard labor convenience fee and damage control if your weapon can handle it. Em4 if you’re feeling reckless or playing Beowulf

Let’s go! I went way out of my comfort zone with this one. I’ve always just spammed special with Guan Yu, but I got a a chamber 1 serrated point and decided to try it out. Turns out it’s almost as good as Charged Skewer. Although in the end… yeah it was another Smoldering Air carry. Never thought I’d see such an obscenely safe Guan Yu run that involves being close to my enemies and has reduced dash distance, but here we are. Shout-out second wind.

#

Congrats!

#

Smoldering Air is an insanely good boon

Also my safety was helped a lot by doing almost exclusively delayed dash strikes so as to keep my i-frames and have better control of my attacks. It was slower though

I’m glad I was a part of this

Meaning both casts would deal 3192

Which is… insane

i've seen 4400 pop up in hades fight, maybe any other factor idk

severe jungle
#

Yeah I believe it

#

Maybe one of the casts crit

#

It’s funny because Trippy Flare is bugged to do way more damage than it says it is

#

And Mirage Shot is bugged so the second cast does funny damage with Beowulf

#

And Bad News is bugged so that extra damage applies to everything

why are you doing meme beam with poseidon instead of achilles anyways thanthink

Achilles gives 150% cast damage though

You just have to use special before you cast

poseidon is usually best with lodging casts and grabbing exit wounds fron artemis
