Hades (PC(W,M)/Steam) (Supergiant Games)
Heat 20, Twin Fists (Malphon) run, Aspect 4 (Hidden Aspect) win
So… I was continuing to go after Heat bounties while following Darker Thirst, and it was looking like the Blade (probably my second-best weapon, after the Spear!) was going to be the next weapon to reach Heat 19… but then, for some reason, Darker Thirst started selecting the Fists a lot more often than the Blade… and so Malphon reached Heat 19 first. ^.^
Anyway… my first attempt at Heat 20 Twin Fists didn’t go, uh, quite as smoothly as I was hoping it would. ^^; My second attempt, however, went a lot better… and long story short, I ended up with my second ever Heat 20 win! =)
So anyway, here’s the video, hope you enjoy!
Some quick notes on the True Shot build strat I’ve been using:
– I built the strat around True Shot mainly because it’s unblockable by enemies like Greatshields… and Theseus. =)
– The basic priority order for Keepsakes I used was: Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Ares (if one of the previous wasn’t necessary), and Patroclus (or Skelly, if worryingly low on Death Defiance)
– The specific Boons I tended to prioritize were:
* Artemis: True Shot, Exit Wounds
* Athena: Divine Dash
* Hermes: Quick Reload
* Dionysus: Strong Drink, Positive Outlook, Premium Vintage
* Ares: Ares’ Aid (if another Call isn’t being used)
* Chaos: +1 bloodstone, increased Cast damage
0:02 Mirror of Night
0:13 Keepsakes – Companion Shady, Adamant Arrowhead (Artemis)
0:18 Twin Fists (Malphon), Aspect 4: Aspect of Gilgamesh
– I like Gilgamesh mainly because of the multi-Dash (and multi-Dash-Strike!), which is useful for both defense and offense. =)
