In this video I go over 6 of my favorite builds for Hades 2. Most of them include some kind of duo boon/weapon aspect combo that I have found to be very strong.

The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.
BATTLE BEYOND THE UNDERWORLD
As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, youâll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment.
MASTER WITCHCRAFT AND DARK SORCERY
Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick, so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger still with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities.
MINGLE WITH (MORE) GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
Meet a cast of dozens of fully-voiced, larger-than-life characters, including plenty of new faces and some old friends. Grow closer to them through a variety of new interactions, and experience countless unique story events based on how your journey unfolds.
EVERY RUN IS ITS OWN ADVENTURE
New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again. Reveal the mysteries of the Arcana Altar, tame witchy familiars, and gather reagents using Tools of the Unseen to get closer to your goal.
THE PERKS OF IMMORTALITY
Thanks to a variety of permanent upgrades and the return of God Mode, you donât have to be a god yourself to experience what Hades II has to offer. But if you happen to be one, you can brave escalating challenges for greater rewards, and prove just how divine you really are.
SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
Rich, atmospheric presentation and storytelling fused with responsive action is the hallmark of Supergiantâs titles. Vivid new hand-painted environments, even smoother real-time 3D characters, and an electrifying original score make this mythic world burst with life.
COMING TO EARLY ACCESS
Getting player feedback through key phases of development was vital for the original Hades, so we plan to reprise that process once more, once this game is further along. Add Hades II to your wishlist to be the first to know when Early Access is available!

The vibe im getting from this is that u already need to have loads of stuff unlocked and maxed out and basiclly have already clocked a bunch of run throughs so not very useful for people mid progress
I saw this title and was really excited to get some good advice on builds, and felt a little let down that it's just focused on duo boons. I would love to see some more basic advice on what kind of boon combinations works best for the different weapons. Like with the basic daggers I try to use Aphrodite's boon for attack, since I'm doing close damage anyway. Or for the Pan Daggers I've used Poseidon for the special attack. I've definitely found myself in some runs where I'm just not doing enough damage because I got the wrong boon combinations, and while I know that can happen in games like this, it would be helpful to hear from more experienced players about what works best for different weapons.
Cold Storage makes the Hail Storm last longer.
Some of the best runs I have gotten on top of my head:
Aspect of Mel Skulls + Possessed Array + Weed Killer + Exceptional Talent
Aspect of Artemis Blades + Static Shock + Electric Overload + Master Conductor + King's Ransom and some Hera boons
Aspect of Pan Daggers + Wave Flourish + Golden Rule (now less powerful)
Had expected this to focus more on the early stages of the builds, such as [blank] weapon with [blank] Olympian's effect then a strategy of what to go for with the ultimate hope of landing a duo boon.
Maybe individual vids to further break down each build would help?
Staff: Hestia attack+Zeus special = Thermal dynamics on 3rd staff aspect. Charge your special to apply blitz and apply burn passively to proc the blitz. Poseidon's attack can work as primary for zues+poseidon duo.
Dagger: Appolo primary attack, Hestia Special burn, Rush Exceptional Talent on Aspect of Pan. Slowcooker and Pyre technique can be good here.
Torches: Primary Zeus ->Hera Born gain/Hestia Heart gain -> Bloodline. You can proc bloodline like crazy. You just build max mana. I do not rcommend priming any mana. Use torch #1.
Axe: Air fryer build
Air quality+Primary burn on Thanatos axe. Open with Aphrodite to gain Glamour gain and Her cast boon for +Air bonuses. Spin to win burn build.
Skull: I just rush Ionic gain and spam magic. I like getting Demeter's Weed killer, Appolo's legendary and Hera's Boodline. Press omega attack 3 times, then charge Special.
It's not good aiming for a duo boon and build around it. I'm not lucky every run so most of the time I get duos is on the fields. I also like spamming one button and I hate depending on magick. So here's my faves:
Don't get attack or special boons, build damage and speed around it + spiteful strength and apollo's legendary.
Asp of Than with nova strike, extra dose with hephaey's special for blocking purposes + build damage and speed + get lucky with hammers + hephaey's legendary.
Love handles and Sunny disposition are fun with smithy sprint esp if you can get chain reaction; just sprinting and blasting all game.
Asp of Charon with nova flourish + apollo's legendary; just spamming special while being safe from farther enemies.
Cast build aiming for glorious disaster and hail storm + hades' howling soul.
The revenge boons build with apollo's and zeus' then keep increasing water elements for poseidon's and demeter's infusion; if you can, apollo's infusion is also good, then once you're vs chronos, leave your controller/keyboard and watch chronos kill himself lol
I'm trying the DemeterxHestia duo boons for the 32 fear run and although it does tons of damage, it's just too much fear lol
