[random oriole]

rip

[slate prairie]

rip

[random oriole]

oh if you use the Fated Persuation (swap the last mirror skill to green) you can reroll poms

[warm notch]

is that extreme measures 1? for speedrunning it should be em2 to group lernie heads and also forced overtime 1 or 2 for faster enemy spawns

[random oriole]

based on the other stats they might be just starting out

[warm notch]

yeah thats true

[warm notch]

faster than expected

[grave compass]

Take THAT dad. I was doing a joke shield build and ended up pummeling him. I went super serious on a bow build and got destroyed. Guess that goes to show you should just play the game in a playing mood and not like it's work.

[grave compass]

Cast damage priority run. I've been trying to fight EM4 dad for the past week, rage quitting two days in a row..

[viral elm]

i tried so hard to purge the aphro cast after getting smouldering air but the game just wouldnt let me

also em3 heroes harder than hades confirmed

[foggy spruce]

new pb noice

[violet bloom]

nice

[foggy spruce]

how to sub 10?

[violet bloom]

go faster

[foggy spruce]

more generic pls

like how

[zinc lintel]

Turning on Fiery Presence, High Confidence, and Deep Pockets on your mirror can help you one shot more enemies in Tartarus

Turning on the pact options Extreme Measures 2 makes the Lernie fight faster as the heads are all grouped together, and turning on Forced Overtime makes enemies spawn faster

[foggy spruce]

why deep pockets?

[zinc lintel]

Overall tho you kinda just want to learn the proper way to navigate certain rooms in order to quickly kill everything

Cause it just gives you more gold

[foggy spruce]

isn't golden touch techinacly more profitable?

[zinc lintel]

In order for Golden touch to give you more than the 100 gold Deep Pockets gives you you need to have at least 220 gold at the end of each biome

And that’s just to break even

[foggy spruce]

oh

[zinc lintel]

You want to be spending your gold pretty consistently and having the extra gold at the start can help you afford a boon or Pom at midshop which can help your build a lot more

[soft shard]

I like this, let me try

[random oriole]

punch enemies up against a wall and take a wall-slam boon or 2

[foggy spruce]

@zinc lintel better already

[zinc lintel]

Ayo nice

[foggy spruce]

i dont have em2 on so it could be faster

[zinc lintel]

Didn't get any Hermes boons either so yea you can get a faster time for sure

[soft shard]

are there any hermes boons that are really worth it besides the one that adds more dashes/the one that adds movement speed

[zinc lintel]

Hyper Sprint + purple Rush Delivery give you 100% increased global damage after dashing

which is

insane

Hyper sprint on its own lets you schmoove quicker but adding Rush Delivery on top of that is mega damage

[lunar peak]

every damn time

i say "time to do a lucifer attack build"

then i get triple bomb

then this happens

[zealous trellis]

im getting those duo boons rather consistently... is gods legacy even worth it?

Wow, I'm pretty proud of this run. I just got really lucky and basically outlasted Hades and just smacked him to death. This felt really good lol

[foggy spruce]

not bad

[crimson nexus]

got my first win

it only took long because i had to pause it for a while but still big w

[warm notch]

pausing also pauses the in game timer . anyways congrats

[crimson nexus]

oh i didn't know but thanks

[warm notch]

yeah its a pretty useful thing to use when speedrunning

[brave fulcrum]

69th clear on fist... nice

[warm notch]

better than expected lol

didn't take that long lol @echo belfry

I like how I got 4 chaoses but no flourish

[echo belfry]

lol i thought u're gonna take on higher heat

but not bad

[warm notch]

my laptops low on battery and its just a test run lol

looks like 32 with it would be pretty fine though

[echo belfry]

tbh, i think 32 heat is a cake walk for u

could try 40

[viral elm]

beo without casting

actually does way more damage than i expected

[twin karma]

Forgot to switch to legacy lol also 4 sack ME was in Styx shop

[tacit folio]

I FINALLY DID IT

32 HEAT

[viral elm]

congrats!

[viral elm]

and now to never use it again

[warm notch]

if you press 'give up' before dying you dont lose your streak

[cursive yoke]

I wish I'd known that sooner. lol

This was a run I did last night. Not the easiest run I've had because I'm still learning how to optimize all the boons and choose the best ones. I thought for sure I'd be defeated but thankfully at the last moment, Athena's call kicked in.

[warm notch]

hm did you replace athena special for artemis?

[rain ruin]

Achilles 45

[primal crown]

Nice jolted

[rain ruin]

Big value crop

[cursive yoke]

I think I might have. lol

I typically try not to replace boons but in this instance, I probably did. I can't remember now

[rain ruin]

It's a good swap but after you get Merciful End, also I would take a second dash instead of RR and Deep Pockets

[cursive yoke]

Thank you!

[cursive yoke]

To clarify, Deep Pockets is better than Golden Touch?

[rain ruin]

Yes, it helps you buy a boon/pom/health at your first shop which can help get your build going quicker, and also a general rule of thumb you should try to have a decent amount of gold when entering shops so you can buy something useful, that also leads to leaving biomes with barely any gold, so the effect you get out of Golden Touch wouldnt be that great

[cursive yoke]

Ohhh... That's a very good point! I didn't even think about the fact that I'd have less money when I leave the biome. Thank you!!

[wheat socket]

Let's gooooooooooooooo

[cursive yoke]

Nice time!

[lunar peak]

you managed to clear it in 8 minutes?

[viral elm]

no pom on special 5 poms on dash

[zinc lintel]

Yes

Splash dash scales off poms better than most boons

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah deadly strike/flourish poms are basically worthless

Flourish should take 1 Pom at most

Meanwhile epic level 5 dash is almost double level 1

[rain ruin]

It was mostly early poms before I got the Special in Aspho, and the rarity of it made it less appealing to pom later, (not like I got many poms anyway)

[warm notch]

artemis pom scaling kinda

[rain ruin]

Also I had Hunter's Mark and sold it

For reasons I wont list

[hard solar]

First 32 heat win (after about 10 attempts)

[rain ruin]

Congrats

RI1 AP2 tho 👀

[echo belfry]

without Call for first attempt also pretty impressive

[warm notch]

quite impressive with such a cursed pact

[timid wraith]

Alpha first 32

[warm notch]

ap2 ri1 is uh.... not easy

also maybe not fun

[timid wraith]

Wait, they’re a sigma fixer so Sigma First 32

[zinc lintel]

The bounds people go through to avoid Hard Labor

[rain ruin]

Lol

[warm notch]

and td3

or even td2

[echo belfry]

i rather do RI2 than TD1 XD

[warm notch]

@ Wieldofrost#6733

[timid wraith]

I’m not sure which I’m having more difficult adjusting to so far - FO2 or TD3

[echo belfry]

means, always have them both on

so no need to worry

[warm notch]

tbh both make you have to be more efficient with movement and attacking. moreso fo2 imo

[timid wraith]

FO2 has made me think about attack pathing more so far, while TD3 more toward route pathing

[hard solar]

I didn't want EM4 and was trying to avoid too much difficulty in normal encounters.

So it was pot luck on boons.

[echo belfry]

u have a lot of leftover time too

[hard solar]

Note that I was alive for more than 15 seconds without a DD, so Stubborn Roots saved me.

[echo belfry]

would be fine if u do TD2 and take away JS and 1 more

[warm notch]

i wouldnt do em4 at 32 either

[hard solar]

Yeah I could have dropped that down. This was not the run I expected to do it.

So left TD1 to avoid time stress

[primal crown]

(should move to other chat)

[hard solar]

Got some fishing in too

Fair

[warm notch]

we totally arent gunna be by the mods

[rain ruin]

Best to check the pinned guide for 32 heat at #h1-high-heat-strategies, you've already done it, but you can do it a lot more effortlessly with a properly balanced pact

[grave vector]

as somenoobdying already said, please move the conversation to a more appropriate channel like #h1-high-heat-strategies

34 heat with only TD1

[chilly silo]

Did a “Fun Run” challenge (suggested by Brain in the HA Discord) which uses EM4, AP2, and TD1…the fates were good to me.

7th try’s a charm

2nd try with Eris (as I tried with all weapons…Fates blocked me from Cluster Rockets, but redeemed themselves in this one)

Zeus’ Smoldering Aid is ridiculous

[hard solar]

Yeah, get double strike and the legendary and it's ridiculously ridiculous (I only managed that once)

[ebon berry]

LP Achilles o7

[twin karma]

No splash dash 👀

[rain ruin]

Yea no dash not the best idea

Probably why I lacked a lot of dmg in general

[hard solar]

Did FO1+EM4 for the first time. Dare I try FO2+EM4? I did get almost wrecked after going in with full health and all DDs so

However was also very sloppy and face tanked far too much.

[chilly silo]

My experience lately with EM4, except it took 5+ tries to pull it together…

[swift willow]

Probably my best 115 hours spent on steam. This game was really… beautiful

[cursive yoke]

Just tried ||Guan Yu|| for the first time and as you can see, I'm not very good at it. I can't get the life steal strike to go off quickly enough before I'm hit by the enemy. I think I'll need read more tips on how to use this aspect.

[cursive yoke]

I definitely like Poseidon's boons.

[warm notch]

whoo. easier than I thought it'd be. aphro call op

if I turn on ap2 all I need to do is get the boons and free 52

was chunking for crits worth 500-700

[sage cobalt]

on a streak of insanely strong builds hehe. also had +59% attack from chaos

im very slow tho :/ i gotta pick up the pace for higher heat

[lime bane]

Sub 20 with JS1 is a decent pace even for 32+ Heat. I wouldn't worry too much.

[brave fulcrum]

not even close

what I did was bonkers

dad was like few slither of health left, he was doing the laser

I dash strike my way to his point

Wtf how have you done so well on 30 clears ???? Also ur so fast 😳

[warm notch]

is that actually enough to do 1.5k

[sage cobalt]

thank you so much! i wasn't sure if i was doing well or not 😅

[sage cobalt]

it was 686-726ish twice

so, in that case prob closer to 1.3k :P

yeah makes sense from two dash strikes

Man I can’t get times under 22 min

But slow as hecc

[sage cobalt]

honestly i lost a lot of time fangirling over how the build just kept getting better and better

[eternal gust]

Hahah

[sage cobalt]

got a daedalus hammer right off the gate, then chaos boon for 94% MORE DAMMIES followed by artemis dash - i was screeching for heart rend and got it right before thesues... so satisfying

[warm notch]

a lot of increasing clear time is just having a good build

then ofc theres the other parts of game knowledge and technical skill

[eternal gust]

Yeah… I’m too fond of hanging around and vibing

[warm notch]

btw id recommend dark foresight

[north fog]

dodge dodge dodge

[chilly silo]

Shattered Shackle Hoard Sword…just for fun

…tho I’ll do it again and get more money next time

[brave fulcrum]

Gj

[ebon berry]

Hoarding slash best hammer

[rain ruin]

rip the sub10

No second hermes either

[grand yacht]

Every slap could do 600-800 to ~1200 damage.

Very nice.

[lunar peak]

My first victory. I don't know if this is any good

[chilly silo]

That first clear is always good...keep running, fighting, dying, repeat...

[ebon berry]

finally got this goddamm

[livid radish]

zeus gaming

[grand yacht]

Aspect of Hera... wavefront build

[lunar peak]

first real ever guan yu build, the first one i ever did lost my streak so i kinda shied away. quick spin tho

(don't mind the low heat i hate varatha)

[lunar peak]

nice chaos

[twin karma]

Blessed Beo pb

Extra cast was in Ely with no well items before tho

But can’t complain with everything else lol

[violet bloom]

flame wheel release carry

[warm notch]

aint flood flare gunna be more consistent if ya doing sped runs

[violet bloom]

yeah but big number

[zinc lintel]

^

Trippy's numbers are potentially bigger and who cares about consistency just reset until you get chaos casts

[twin karma]

Trippy fun

Either way you reset for chaos or cshot

cshot resets do take less time though

[violet bloom]

you dont need to reset for cshot

[twin karma]

Yeah it was really helpful in Styx thanks to hourglass

You don’t need to but it’s just so good

[violet bloom]

yeah it is indeed so good

[lunar peak]

2nd victory. I'm getting faster and actually developing strategies for boons/hammers

[rain ruin]

hunting blades gud boon

[grand yacht]

hunting and mirage

[warm notch]

btw id recommend trying out dark foresight instead of gods favor for that last mirror upgrade

[lunar peak]

thanks

[sage cobalt]

certainly not my strongest build, but let me tell you: i literally took flight. like an airplane. zoom zoom ✈️ 💨

[chilly silo]

Hadn’t used Arthur in a while, then decided to move up to FO1…not a good mix. When I lost my 2 DD’s to Lernie, I was ready to commit suicide by lava…but I stuck it out and Patty came to my rescue…just a half dozen more runs to finish all bounties!

[warm notch]

hmmm... a lot cooler than the impending doom concept

mep

[warm notch]

hmmm meme beams luci is kinda pointless because then luci dmg just doesnt matter

[lunar peak]

Only used one revive. That Dionysus call is ungodly.

[twin karma]

REAP WHAT YOU SOW

[primal crown]

Dio call good

[rugged crane]

@warm notch wtf

[warm notch]

its just stupid boon combinations with the power of having a buncha extra rerolls from a mod

[twin karma]

250 clears!

[violet bloom]

Rookie numbers

[zinc lintel]

Nice Heart Rend btw

[warm notch]

ME eris kinda cool

ignore the meg

[primal crown]

Truly a MEris moment

[twin karma]

Used to have pash dash lol

[warm notch]

3rd phase em4 fo2 dad on sword is sus

very balanced build btw

tryna find places to attack without d dash or flourish or using a smol call is

also totally didn't lose all my dd's to charon in tart

[ebon berry]

That build is friggin jacked

[warm notch]

yep lmao. but dad phase 3 just feels so sketchy totally wasnt constantly running into pots

[ebon berry]

Sword probably has the most painful em4

Its so bad without athena dash+special

[warm notch]

tryna hit dad without getting smacked by a skull

[ebon berry]

I just ended up timing out and dying so many times on 53 heat attempts

I got extremely close

[brave fulcrum]

I didn't know I robbed than

this build is what I call... jack of all trades

[ebon berry]

Thats some guan build

gg

[brave fulcrum]

would be better if I had hunter's mark

[viral elm]

broken spearpoint gaming

[brave fulcrum]

I run it a lot more than acorn nowadays

[lunar peak]

i did it

16 heat baby

[rain ruin]

Nice build

[zinc lintel]

Zoomies

[grand yacht]

Guan Yu spear-thrower hours

Anywhere from ~450 to ~2000 damage per spear.

[viral elm]

thats a lotta damage

[trail shadow]

seeing these clears makes me realise how little progress i've actually made into the game lmao

[grand yacht]

punching groups from clear across the room build (featuring the wave shotgun [poseidon cast, doubled cast, rupture])

[quasi kestrel]

Clear screen is wrong btw

https://twitter.com/BleedReclaim/status/1452065837607620610?t=jm7MOQmgKN0Xrl_8_u3-tg&s=19

It refuses to show new stuff. I've gotten clears up to 20 heat

[opal shoal]

Dad has perished, and also has been charmed to infinity and beyond

[quasi kestrel]

Glare scaling is kinda wild

1 second on basically all levels? As far as I've gone?

Thats like the best cast boon in the game

[warm notch]

god mode and non god mode track differently

[quasi kestrel]

Interesting. I turn it on for chiron.

Because I was sick of getting it in tartarus and just dying

But I've done that on runs that track normally

Good to know though. Gives me another goal.

[warm notch]

chaos 40. zeus = stonks

//

[opal shoal]

Dad melted

Chiron murder

[sage cobalt]

didn't get a single pom the entire run, but ironically, fastest hades kill i've ever had! sub 1 minute, this build is nutty

[grand yacht]

thank the sweet muse for upgrading the hermes' boons

[quasi kestrel]

Lucifer cast build worked

Special cast boom repeat

I lost targeting system gambling on an anvil since hammers dont really matter for this besides triple bomb

Only lacking dio legendary and the damage reduction in fog

[quasi kestrel]

Nice. Too bad you cant get mirage with Curse of Drowning

Its neat with Achilles since it travels with you on special

Pt 2 of the luci cast build

And Cold Fusion too. All these duos without Legacy.

[grand yacht]

I had a nice 5x double poseidon cast spam applying rupture, a doom applying achilles charge and a downright murderous, ultra-fast critting spear jab. The dionysus call ate away at enemies and upped dps pretty well.

[quasi kestrel]

Yeah it's a good one. Really high output.

For like weird duos like Low Tolerance it might be his best hangover applier

It is in raw dmg just not necessarily in uptime

[sage cobalt]

hypers!

[sage cobalt]

thats so many epic boons! wow!

[quasi kestrel]

God's Pride working out for once

I also had bonus rarity from Chaos, got a bunch of Dio boons in Tartarus with his keepsake

Good Eurydice usage

[sweet radish]

first run in over a month since i got my computer fixed. not super fast since im very rusty

[quasi kestrel]

Faster than me

[violet bloom]

Nice

[sage cobalt]

absolutely disgustang (hermes speed + rush delivery, double dash strike, weak dmg +15% too!)

[lunar peak]

gah dAMN

[grand yacht]

You face the storm.

Had to run to pick up the blood crystals for the casts repeatedly. Triple massive blade rift did the bulk of the damage, if I could land it.

[sweet radish]

Cleared the legend of Persephone challenge for 100th clear. Unfortunately, I did not realize until heroes fight that alt-tabbing ended my game recording . . . Its legit enough for me though.

[lunar peak]

congrats!

[sweet radish]

Thanks!

[quasi kestrel]

Finally got the Demeter Rama run

[long gale]

50 heat with every weapon finally achieved

aphrodite aid was actually awesome in this run.

[violet bloom]

Nice

Not even close

[long gale]

on the first phase he summoned a chariot which easily could have made me lose a sd but i turned it into an ally

and being able to stun him before big attacks let me get a lot of extra hits in

[violet bloom]

Wait I'm blind you have dds

[long gale]

its sd

[violet bloom]

Athena and skelly dds

[long gale]

oh yea

[sweet radish]

AP2

[violet bloom]

They got some really good stuff with it tho

[sweet radish]

Yeah

[warm notch]

ap2 is free if you get the boons

[violet bloom]

True

[sweet radish]

AP2 is free if you just go boonless

[violet bloom]

But what if ap2 forces you into an attack boon

[sweet radish]

Just don’t attack

[sage cobalt]

woot!

[primal crown]

Would loved inverted attack/special but cant really complain

[primal crown]

high confidence gaming

[lofty wyvern]

???

[warm notch]

why do i keep seeing high confidence for first clears

[lofty wyvern]

whats high confidence doin already?

[warm notch]

its the extra damage when you have high health

[lofty wyvern]

oh yeah

Well i still ahve to see what is good and less good in the mirror

[warm notch]

the bonus is additive so its kinda terrible unless well you have "high confidence"

its a perk for speedrunning

[lofty wyvern]

oh okok

So the counterpart is better?

[warm notch]

yeah the additional health is very noticeable

[lofty wyvern]

hmm, ok

[warm notch]

like a max tough skin is 50+ health

if youre getting hit a lot, high confidence is meanwhile doing nothing

[lofty wyvern]

Yeah... I see what you mean

But the chill/hangover combo

Scary good O_O

and that calculated risk was pretty useful on final fight

[warm notch]

divine dash alone pretty much gets rid of skulls tbh

mep this channel getting off topic. funny hades spear 40. I like how this is probably my 2nd or 3rd time using this aspect lol

[quasi kestrel]

Nice

[warm notch]

also ignore the fact that i didnt have enough tb to max it

[primal crown]

not even close

[warm notch]

It me or did the special make me get hit by the lasers while hugging dad

or maybe I needed to hug him better

[quasi kestrel]

Worked pretty well

Critting on attack for 700+

[lofty wyvern]

Welp second win ever on the same night !

Had twin shot and it rerolled into triple shot... would've kept twin shot but oh well

[quasi kestrel]

Is that also lvl 6 Artemis attack?

[lofty wyvern]

Yes

[quasi kestrel]

Nice

30% crit x2 with twin shot is really strong

[lofty wyvern]

I melted theseus it was so funny

[primal crown]

thats a juicy anvil

[quasi kestrel]

Yeah solid reroll

No special nonsense

[lofty wyvern]

Special without Chrion is garbo

[quasi kestrel]

Best anvil I've ever had was cluster rockets

[lofty wyvern]

I wouldve kept twiunshots

dps on Final boss wouldve been way better

but clearing the minions was a piece of cake

Flurry shot was so good too

[quasi kestrel]

Yeah. Twin + flurry + arti attack on zag bow just works so well

Maybe twin + idk perfect is better

[lofty wyvern]

Oop

Gotta admit when The triple Erinyes came up... Was scared

[primal crown]

(should move to other channel btw)

[quasi kestrel]

Okay

[warm notch]

this was such a bad idea

[long gale]

howd it go though?

[warm notch]

also bruh when offered exactly one demeter boon

well I had no attack boon till the last styx room

[long gale]

yea wheres ur glacial glare

[primal crown]

fully loaded, nice

[warm notch]

and no cold embrace till 32nd elysium chamber

when no glacial glare and the meme beams are common but at least I had 4 bloodstones lmoa

[long gale]

true

[warm notch]

heres the fight lol

[tiny moat]

finally 100% on achievements!

[lofty wyvern]

Grats!

[tiny moat]

thank you <3

[high trellis]

stabs Hades That's a lot of damage

[quasi kestrel]

Arthur can do over 10k with the dream setup

[brave fulcrum]

let me show you how lucky/unlucky I was

and then proceeded to get 4 sack

not only that

I didn't get smoldering or hyper delivery

I just got hyper

[sage cobalt]

NASTY doom pops. didnt feel like a super-op-meta-giga build, but it felt really nice seeing big chunky 700+ doom procs :D

edit: was trying to get (forget what it's called) deflect pops doom early, but unfortunately athena was not cooperative D:<

[primal crown]

merciful end needs athena attack or special so maybe that?

[quasi kestrel]

Yeah

You'd need to swap off special first

[sage cobalt]

ah, gotcha. ty!

[tawdry radish]

First 10 heat run!

[quasi kestrel]

It was hard to keep up ME with attack and special, but I also had vengeance and d dash

[twin karma]

blessed build

[quasi kestrel]

Nearly died. Should have brought Acorn or something

Pom did hit Flood Shot like 3 times though

Unshown but notable is lvl 6 epic PP

[sage cobalt]

didnt get cluster bomb until the end with a lucky RNG-hammer, and proceeded to immediately decimate hades in 1 minute lmao

[warm notch]

clockets moment

[lime bane]

Congratulations!

[warm notch]

so hard to see what dad is doing with cod

[twin karma]

cshot good

Also purple rd lol

[quasi kestrel]

Bow shield run

[quasi kestrel]

Rush blades

Was trying to get Heart Rend and PP but no luck

Relentless Reflexes with one dash has never felt better

[viral elm]

first time EM4

how do people manage this on higher heat with TD3, hades alone took close to 5 min

and Zeus shield doesn't even have bad DPS

[warm notch]

well having a good time buffer and just having experience with the fight

[quasi kestrel]

Plus more dps

[warm notch]

well tbh zeus with that build should be plenty dps

[quasi kestrel]

Yeah

More sources will just make it faster

[warm notch]

like with this memey ass build it was like 3 minutes

[quasi kestrel]

Yeah 5 minutes for em4 dad is probably like average

Would it have been more dps if I went for Plume to get Bad News over epic Greater Haste?

[warm notch]

yeah thatd be more dps and you can use plume dmg for rd too

ye sub 3 minute em4 is really hard tbh. though idk i havent used that much zeus shield

this was like approx 2:40

ofc build couldve been better if I went for rush delivery

[lunar peak]

broke another record!

[tiny moat]

FELLOW SHIELD MAIN 🤝

[chilly silo]

Achilles aspect victory, heat 19, 17m19s with serrated point and others…instead of showing the victory screen…gonna show this boon list I got in Elysium…def a blessed run

[viral elm]

clearly you should have rerolled to get different league

[viral elm]

i did the LC4 stubborn defiance strat, wasnt as bad as i thought, but probably gets pretty difficult with EM3-4

[ebon berry]

Maxing out one pact doesn't make the game super hard

Its when you mix and match that it becomes a lot more difficult

[steep jackal]

lc4 is fine when you get used to it

if you get touch of styx dark em3 is fine

[ebon berry]

[chilly silo]

Congrats! My run was more subdued in heat, but def a fun ride…tho a bit of a hodge-podge

Next up is a custom 3 weapon speedrun at 20 heat to finish bounties…

[ebon berry]

-ME zeus or zeus^2?

-yes

[chilly silo]

Started out ME Zeus…then Zeus himself kept showing up, and Demeter…so I made it work

[rain ruin]

50 Heat Rama

[viral elm]

epic rare crop?

[primal crown]

Unpommed doom pog

[chilly silo]

[chilly silo]

[lofty wyvern]

Wow

[lunar peak]

the charged shot is

[warm notch]

this is why modded is superior to peasant unmodded

[lunar peak]

Wow

[crisp ginkgo]

smoldering and mirage? based

[rain ruin]

Both those runs got Mirage in Tartarus and now I'm doing a third run that also got Mirage in Tartarus lol

[warm notch]

meanwhile me getting it in elysium last time and being less than half a second from pbing

[rain ruin]

the pb grind

There it is

[warm notch]

seastorm gaming

how many procs does seastorm even get from triple mirage flares

[rain ruin]

Idk but it's gud

green boon

[warm notch]

curse of drowning also green. shouldve went for that

[viral elm]

should have gone blizzard shot

does that even appear with flood flare?

[zinc lintel]

Nope

[quasi kestrel]

Attack/rush itself already knocks back too right?

That's another bolt

So 7 + 7*double strike chance?

[warm notch]

seastorm has a like a 0.2s cooldown is the thing

[quasi kestrel]

True

Speaking of, I need to do the math on Rama Doom and Vengeance Doom being triggered by a rapid laser

Those hit every 0.2 seconds too right?

I think the vengeance doom is the key. It applies so rapidly

If you actually set it up, it should work?

[warm notch]

seems a tad bit difficult to pull off @quasi kestrel https://imgur.com/a/SSMYFEF

[quasi kestrel]

[zinc lintel]

Nice skull earring btw

[quasi kestrel]

Just a little modded

[warm notch]

half the problem is killing everything before you get a crit

[quasi kestrel]

Yeah

[warm notch]

and having enough things hitting you

[quasi kestrel]

Its not feasible. You'd only ever need a few thousand

[warm notch]

mightve put this in the wrong channel

[quasi kestrel]

It's a boast

[subtle adder]

5️⃣2️⃣👊

[rain ruin]

how much is lv100 pp

[warm notch]

100%

ri1 epic jolted gaming

[zinc lintel]

The leanest build

Kinetic gaming

[lofty wyvern]

Fun run

[rain ruin]

Nice

[quasi kestrel]

Another failed blizzard shot attempt

I somehow got winter harvest and close to pb though

No mirage either. Mostly just a regular bow run

Twin Shot

Attac speed +30%

[warm notch]

thinking of all the times i could've saved time

also game doesnt want to give me fountain chambers

[quasi kestrel]

Either you get them constantly or never

[hushed kestrel]

Absolutely carried by cursed flurry

[warm notch]

lol all that damage resis

[barren osprey]

😎

[warm notch]

not even close

[barren osprey]

You talking about my victory?

[warm notch]

yeah. you obviously werent close at all to dying

[barren osprey]

those satyrs do the most pinpoint triple shot things to health i had replenished my death defy that was bonked by charon and got the tooth as well but they just delete them.

It was a real good run seeing every enemy shatter to winter harvest in seconds

[warm notch]

if you have trouble with poison you should use broken speartip

[barren osprey]

i can get away its just they have hawkeye sight and ( shutter )

[quasi kestrel]

The boss one can go around shields

[quasi kestrel]

• sudden rush and bonus attack speed

Tried for a PB but 4sac

Need to start using meg ig

But my convenient healing and gold

[zinc lintel]

Tell me you got Triple and Point Blank from an anvil

I will literally cry tears of joy

[chilly silo]

All 120 bounties complete, onto some heat pushing to get all weapons to 32 and see what happens from there!

[primal crown]

Lvl 2 doom now, improvements

[quasi kestrel]

ME not even highlighted

[spare shale]

Best I can muster but it was about 5 tries on a fresh file. Bow, doom special tidal dash saved my behind.

[barren geode]

This run had me scared for a bit 😂😂

[quasi kestrel]

This kinda works?

Probably a lot better with Glare

[serene isle]

32 heat with all weapons (forgot to take a screenshot of my last 32 run which was spear)

[warm notch]

now time for sub 10 all weapons

[serene isle]

Yeah, I know Beowulf is the fastest aspect in the game but I still haven’t gotten used to it

Rama sea storm

Enemies barely had a chance to hit me at least

Can it get worse than this?

[subtle lantern]

was fun to spam call and have permanent billowing strength

while having giant crits with artemis cast and exit wounds

i just realized in this run how good smoldering air + zeus call is

final fight

none of the skulls are left alive

you run around spamming call

they die

AH COME ON

COMPUTER CRASHED AS I PICKED UP THE REWARD

welp

guess that run is gone

big sad

[tawdry radish]

Finally getting a handle on the Chaos Aspect

[severe jungle]

32 24 hell yeah congrats

[quasi kestrel]

5 god run

Pride gaming

[hollow jacinth]

Reversable end

[warm notch]

lmao

[ebon berry]

Cursed af

[warm notch]

when no d dash but doom isnt even on attack anyways

wait

is that

dire misfortune

[ebon berry]

[viral elm]

taking flurry shot on hera was a bad idea

[grand yacht]

I did

[viral elm]

ice wine is fun

[spare shale]

Oh I got a confirmation and it wasn’t 5 runs for my first clear it was 4. Even happier now

[zinc lintel]

That is beautiful

[celest cosmos]

Provided I thought it was gonna do more damage, it was a fun build

[grand yacht]

Sacced conc. volley, tho

[rain ruin]

Conc doesn’t do a lot with Dio on the Special anyway

[zinc lintel]

Oh yea that’s definitely not the optimal move cause it’s Chiron but who cares that’s amazing

[celest cosmos]

This was on aspect of Chiron? And was fun?

Looking for something fun for Chiron or Rama

[grand yacht]

Well, yes and sort of. Chiron is very reliant on hitting with an arrow, then spam volley. If you don't mind that, it IS fun.

And with something like extra dio stacks and faster dio ticks, it murders most everything.

It just doesn't burst all that well.

Compared to mega-boosted Excal or a hurty cast build.

[celest cosmos]

It's been a bit clunky the times I tried cause the special has quite a delay... Only tried zap and wasn't loving it 😟 so I'm looking for something else

Okay thanks. I think I'm gonna try Hera then

[grand yacht]

Let's leave this channel to the boasting victors.

[celest cosmos]

I like cast builds

Oh right.

Sry

Dont know whats going on here

[primal crown]

Purple Rd, nice

[grand yacht]

Tank-Calibur

Also got a few extra pom levels from the duo.

Applied weak, chill and rupture. The splash dash tore right through groups of weak, fragile enemies and softened up big 'uns for a few attacks. Also got the +10% damage reist, +30% damage buff when not having crystals.

Excalibur is good.

[hard solar]

Not really a boast for the win, but more that I had Lightning Rod and Splitting Bolt in Tartarus, and got Greater Recall just before going into Dad. Figured it was still worth taking it.

[grand yacht]

Very zappy attack, very blasty cast.

[ebon berry]

what is happening this week
