First
Love your videos man. Excellent content.
Just started the video. Gotta say, that's a brave and tasty thumbnail.
Incoming Stubborn Roots in S tier. Calling it now.
I can already tell this is gonna be a banger
WRONG. This man is clearly WRONG. Lightning rod is S tier. I have reported you for misinformation. Enjoy the ban.
gserz
vyn.fyi
love these tier lists
Chat loves rod will he troll us?
I like this channel. This is a good channel
I remember getting Cold Embrace just for the minor prophacy and sold it after Lernie. Bruh
So if curse of drowning works with beowulf what happens if you get the ranged charge hammer buff? do you just fire the pulses out or just pulse out uselessly from yourself?
Bro if you made this video wayy shorter you would get wayy more views. Just saying no one has time to sit here and listen to this for an hour
There's a run that i managed to get merciful end in the 1st charon shop in Asphodel plus the athena dash. And let me tell you it's freaking powerful and I'm also using Nemesis aspect of the sword. I remember the second phase of hades just lasted like 15 seconds.
Great vid! Love to see your thoughts on this.
I hope you know how much your videos help me with this game, thank you Haelian.
Before watching, Heart Rend has to be on top
EDIT: I was kinda right (:
Rod S tier, combined with Greater Recall. Sry Haellian, you are not selling me this shit…
Am I losing it, or didn't you already do this video? Change of opinion?
Thanks for these Guids Healian. I was able to win 15 runs in a row(+1 heat each try) because i understand how to do dmg now. Keep up the good work. š
I do not like Lightning Rod, and there is one major reason why. You have an entire mirror section dedicated to buffing the damage you do to enemies with a bloodstone in them by a significant degree. Why would I ever want to trade the damage of my casts plus the damage boost, for an occasional 70 damage if the enemy is close enough?

Curse of Longing and Cold Fusion very much felt like they were made specifically for Privileged Status in mind (makes it so jolt and doom don't need to be reapplied to keep up P-Status). And I wonder if that sort of design decision is why neither of those Duos have much going for them.
YES I was hoping for exactly this and here it is!
Parting shot + Cold embrace š¤š¤š¤
I gotta say, I think you did Low Tolerance dirty… any fist aspect does phenomenally with it, you put Weak on your dash and Hangover on your Attack and zoom around punching things mindlessly while you drool all over your favorite onezie.
If you grab up like 2-3 secondary boons from each god, enemies will can be slowed, you can do like 30% more damage or so with 3 enemies who have Hangover (definitely recommend Dionysus Aid for this build, the DOT ticks get absolutely nuts) enemies do very little damage, among many other fun effects.
The Thing about this build is that even without the Duo (which depending on the potency of your attack and the other boons you've acquired throughout your run, is effectively somewhere between a 30-50% increase in damage, seeing as it's a 60% boost to all Hangover as it's almost trivial to keep 8 stacks of Hangover using fist Attack to apply them), you're still absolutely crushing ass on groups and bosses, the build is easy as hell to build, and you still have Special and Cast to assign to whichever god you please (I don't even have a preference, there isn't a wrong choice tbh).
Smoldering air its one of the best duo. If you you're lucky enough with duo and legendary try Smoldering Air+Call from Dyo+Black out+Curse of Nausea (this are the core Dmg but can be more with Low Tolerance, and be more cast dmg with Black out, but is too hard to get more stuff like Ice Wine or Scintilant Feast)
Stubborn roots has saved runs for me against Hades at the end. But yeah I agree it doesn't do well with tight deadline.
My 1st ever successful run was exactly with cold embrace and yes it was so tough, but it was so fun especially when I feel like Iām cheesing a win unconventionally
Freezing Blades are pretty cool with arctic blast
When I first started, my favorite build was Chiron + Low Tolerance. I liked how it made boss health bars constantly (but gradually) drain, like a burning fuse or something
ROD! ROD! ROD!
I personally love the combo of ice wine and scintillating feast. just lobbing casts everywhere and controlling the weather makes me feel like a god
Curse of Drowning is a good boss killer, but not effecitve against monsters because of the knockback effect. Have a good cast speed and works like a charm with Flurry Cast.
Maybe scintillating feast would be good together with lightning rod, throw out the trippy shots, it regularly deals lightning damage, and after the cloud is gone and your bloodstone is on the ground it just continues.
Might try this at some point
If Lightning Phalanx was treated as a lightning attack and profited off of stuff like jolted and double strike, it'd be busted and definitely S tier
I once picked up Merciful End halfway through Tartarus. Got Impending Doom pretty soon after. Easiest run of my life.
I feel like cold fusion can be very good if it's the second curse to activate privilege status
