“Watch out kids, someone’s gonna destroy your beyblades.”
I almost beat my Clocket (Rocket Shotgun) build’s personal record. Not gonna lie, this Achilles Spear is really great, even though the spear and its aspects are the worst weapon of all, in my opinion. By the looks of the weapon itself, it kinda appears to be a staff for mages/wizards which focuses on magic spells. Even now, I still can’t believe with this amazing build, dealing 17k of damage thanks to Mirage Shot and other cast damage boosts. Hard to construct exact requirements to be honest since the build needs 5 Olympian gods, but really fun to use when all of them comes together. I set my mirror talent to Family Favorite instead of Privileged Status because I have a feeling that I won’t get the boons with status curses, which I experienced on some runs with this build.
Hell Mode ‘Hades EM4’ Killer Sub 2 Challenge 04: Lethal Beyblades Build
Starting time: 18:10
End time: 19:16
Time spent before Hades EM4 vanquished: 1 minute and 5.45 seconds, via Time Calculator (https://www.calculator.net/time-calculator.html)
Don’t know if some players had originally done this challenge before I did. Here’s the rules that I made:
– Beat Hades with Extreme Measures 4 on Hell Mode in under 2 minutes (usually less than 1 minute and 30 seconds)
– No Chthonic Companion Call (supposed to have Companion Shady for Obols essential for build making, but instead it’s a Companion Battie, again)
– No Forced Overtime pact condition (since this will shorten the time to beat, I keep it off in purpose just for a little challenge)
– Any build (OP and custom made builds used by players worldwide; I made cool and/or silly build names, ‘coz why not?)
– Unseeded Run
– No Mods
– Keyboard and Mouse only (8 directional WASDs for added challenge)
Other pact conditions are okay since I’m in the middle of bounty hunting.
Planning to put these rules on thumbnail in the future.
I usually play with this challenge on Hell Mode just for fun. No competition here. This will also help players who have struggle to beat Hades EM4, especially for those who are using keyboard and mouse. I highly recommend to use a controller for accurate angle direction.
You can try this challenge your own way, if you like. You can impress your friends and inspire others. 🙂
MY PLANNED CUSTOM BUILD SPECS
Weapon and Aspect: Varatha, the Eternal Spear, Aspect of Achilles (Gives Raging Rush bonus damage for the next 4 ATTK/CAST after executing SPEC the second time)
ATTK: Artemis’ Deadly Strike (necessary for Mirage Shot)
SPEC: Poseidon’s Tempest Flourish (necessary for Mirage Shot, picking this boon eliminates bad choices to give room for other vital boons)
CAST: Ares’ Slicing Shot (Primary Attack, Pom of Power priority to Level 10 or more)
DASH: Poseidon’s Tidal Dash (for close range damage support, necessary for Mirage Shot)
CALL: Zeus’ Aid (for damage support, necessary for Billowing Strength)
Chaos Boon(s): CAST ammo (Grasp boon, one load for a total or 4 CAST load is enough) and CAST damage (Shot boon, priority)
Daedalus Hammer Upgrades: Flurry Jab (for damage support) and Triple Jab (for easy destroy on Vase Summon traps grouped to each other)
Vital Boons (listed below):
Zeus’ Double Strike (for additional bolt strike by chance in CALL)
Zeus’ Billowing Strength* (for additional damage boost after using CALL)
Poseidon’s Hydraulic Might* (for startup boost damage, Pom of Power optional if other primary boons haven’t acquired)
Ares’ Black Metal (for larger blade rift size)
Ares’ Engulfing Vortex (for additional damage to benefit for Vicious Cycle, better with epic rarity)
Artemis’ Pressure Points (for critical damage chance)
Artemis’ Clean Kill (for small yet helpful critical damage boost)
Artemis’ Support Fire (for damage support especially when successfully hit by ATTK and SPEC)
Hermes’ Hyper Sprint (for temporary move speed boost, common is fine)
Hermes’ Flurry Cast (for faster CAST fire rate if Hyper Sprint rarity is on common)
Hermes’ Rush Delivery* (for additional damage from move speed bonuses, better with epic/heroic rarity)
Zeus and Poseidon’s Duo Sea Storm (for additional damage support on Poseidon’s Tidal Dash on close combat)
Poseidon and Artemis’ Duo Mirage Shot (for additional small damage CAST shot, yet greatly increases damage output from other CAST damage boons)
Ares’ Legendary Vicious Cycle (for consecutive damage on blade rift)
* Global damage bonus applies to cast as well, if buffs (i.e. Hermes’ Hyper Sprint supported by Rush Delivery) are active.
Not all boons were the same on both in-game and my planned custom boons due to RNG. Sometimes unexpected RNGs can make the build much better. Beating Hades faster before he uses most of his time-consuming abilities like Darkness Invisibility and Cerberus Aid is a big plus. Better RNG plus less Hades abilities equals faster kill time.
Mirror of Night Talents will be found on victory report at 1:30.
