Let’s talk about the Fist and Rail! This completes are update of the weapon aspects. As you probably noticed, there isn’t a lot of variation in the aspects. I think Supergiant has done an amazing job of balancing the weapon aspects for this game. That makes for a less interesting video, but a really fun video game! 😂 Thanks for tuning in and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

ABOUT THIS GAME
Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant’s critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.
BATTLE OUT OF HELL
As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.
UNLEASH THE FURY OF OLYMPUS
The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go.
BEFRIEND GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
A fully-voiced cast of colorful, larger-than-life characters is waiting to meet you! Grow your relationships with them, and experience thousands of unique story events as you learn about what’s really at stake for this big, dysfunctional family.
BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY
New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Permanent upgrades mean you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. Though, if you happen to be one, crank up the challenge and get ready for some white-knuckle action that will put your well-practiced skills to the test.
SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
The rich, atmospheric presentation and unique melding of gameplay and narrative that’s been core to Supergiant’s games is here in full force: spectacular hand-painted environments and a blood-pumping original score bring the Underworld to life.

Thank you for this great videos! I tried a few of your build and I liked almost all of them. I have slightly different opinions about some of the aspects, but in general I agree with your rating. Again, great contents!
Gilgamesh is also the de facto choice if you're going for dash heavy runs
What I love about the Lucifer aspect is that the hellfire orb pulses actually stagger enemies, which can be very helpful given that the basic attack of the rail doesn't do that
Don't think of the 15% dodge as 15% less damage. If you already have 70% dodge from plume + hermes and possible more from the dodge trait then it's taking say 30% received damage (you dodge the other 70%) and turns that into only 15% received damage, a huge 50% reduction in hits taken vs one of the other aspects.
So with the firsts the boons you want are zues, Artemis or aries, more so if your going for the cutter, for Aries your going to want the Athena dodge to pair with merciful end. For the rail I like the first and last forms the best, the dps on the attack really outshines the special and works well with a merciful end combo, the damage with lucifer and merciful end can really stack up with the use of the infinite ammo upgrade and the faster fire rate upgrade, you be able to get around 1000 damage per doom trigger
I've been playing Hades since the switch version dropped and every time I beat the final boss I've had the twin fists(I've only beaten him 5 times). Feels very good to use on switch at least
in the Aspect of Eris you need to consume the explosion of your special. But what if you upgrade the Rail with the hammer to make your special fire a rocket. How are you supposed to consume the explosion then? Only if you stay right next to the enemy you're shooting at?
My fav daedalus for fists is the one that changes your special into a flying kick that charges toward a nearby enemy. Combine this with an boon that adds a DoT aoe explosion where you land to your special (like hangover or chill) and you can just spam Y, automatically landing kicks on enemies and making an explosion of DoTs on everything nearby. Crowd control king.
thank you thnk you thank you!
playing with the aspect of eris reminds me of draven LOL
I was wondering if I am the only person thinking that R3 is the worst possible button for reload 😀
Delta chamber is so bad still regardless of aspect, you lose so much dps and not needing to reload doesn't even come close to making up for the dps lost
They must have patched the dash upper with Aspect of Demeter. I had a run today where I took Demeter Fists and got the Explosive Upper hammer. It definitely got the additional hits from Demeter Aspect. With the rest of the build i had, my charged dash uppers were hitting for 1200+ without crit in the build.
I haven't unlocked the Lucifer aspect yet, but it looks so fun ♥
Funny imo the Rail is by far the best weapon in Hades. It's so convinvient when you master its handling. Even for beginners this weapon is amazing. I did my first escape with it.
Just go for the dyonisus ares duo on atk / cast and the triple shot on aspect if zagreus. Ez mode.
Or use zeus on basic at.
Idk every boon feels broken on this thing.
I feel like fist of talos is also s tier. It pulls enemy towards you which is a very good utility, it enhances basic attack which is how fist can achieve max dps. Fist weapon basic damage gets stacked as long as combo is connected and there is no upper limit, and it is actually very easy to do with dashing strike. However Aspect of gilgamesh’s basic attck is too heavy to maintain the combo, and so even though the extra dash is nice, the maim mechanism is interesting, it doesn’t give as much damage as aspect of talos + zeus basic attck boon does
Why didn't I know about the extra dashes on gilgamesh before :0 That's nuz!
Thanks for this. I don't really like the fists or the gun. Hopefully that changes soon.
I love the Hestia rail. It makes me feel like Arnold Swarzenager.
Well not agreeing on the first/zagreus aspect
15% dodge chance
Hermes rare boon 20% dodge chance
Hermes Feather 15>25% dodge chance
Basically I tanked hades without losing a defiance
these 3 videos were superb and gave a lot of clarity =).
Im new to hades and i got several questions:
1. How do you get so much titan blood? Or is it accumulated throughout multiple replays?
2. How do you unlock the final aspects of those weapons?
The tips you gave for the fists is literally how I already play
Aspect of Lucifer is clunky alright. It's just not as fun as the run and gun style of the other aspects of the rail because they EXPECT You launch hellfire spam and then blow it up for massive damage. Which is not practical against a variety of wretches. Like Anything that moves faster than a snail will just slap you if you attempt to set up hellfire. Two things could have saved this aspect. Maybe 3
1.) The hellfire does damage as it land
2.) The first pulse starts when it lands
3.) The rail actually stuns unarmed enemies.
The third one is the big one. I know the rail doesn't do it in general but at least with Igneus Eden they could have fixed that.
I wish I could move while shooting that’d be a really cool upgrade
you are awesome man
Surprised by your feeling on Aspect of Zagreus. I feel like because you're fighting so close with the fists the dodge is amazing. Like S-tier amazing. Stacked with Hermes' feather and even more dodge/deflection from Hermes/Athena you're more or less invulnerable. You have to make long series of mistakes to be at real risk.

I love using the fists. it felt so natural when I first tried it. Not my favourite weapon, but it's really so fun to use.
I hated the rail for so long and then ended getting my first escape with it lol. Basically doom on special with the hammer that shoots 5 bombs
What you seem to be missing with Zagreus Aspect Malphon is using Hermes' keepsake along with all of his dodge/evade boons, it gets pretty insane in terms of damage mitigation.
man the dodge chance on the fists are great, with hermes' keepsake, a few of his boons and the dodge chance mirror upgrade you can easily get close to 100% dodge chance witch is bonkers
