One issue with Poseidon that I noticed is that the attack and special synergize with barely any weapons.
Sure, the splash is a nice crowd control option but the damage is too low for any weapon that isn't the twin blades or the torches.
And even then an equivalent boon outdamages him from most gods. Only Heph feels weaker but at least the burst is great during the early floors, since they can wipe a ton of small things at once, even if personally they should be buffed as well.
Now, he does well if you get his stuff in high rarity and pom it, but needing to high roll for your attack to feel good isn't really a sign of a good attack.
Also, it feels like there arent really many duo boons that lead to cool high rools in my opinon. Like a good duo boon should be a build around. Something worth using as the center piece of your build
These are just my feelings.

"Circe's not a god, actually. So that doesn't count–someone tell me the lore accuracy of that statement"
You rang?
Circe is the daughter of the Sun God Helios (the opposite counterpart to Selune, who presumably gives better boons) and an ocean nymph named Perse. She herself is usually described as a 'minor goddess', including by Homer in her most famous appearance in The Odyssey. Technically you could say she's actually not a goddess since her father is actually a Titan and her mother is only a nymph, but being a god isn't always genetic considering how some of Zeus' sons and daughters by mortals come out as full gods and goddesses.
Having said that she's still an ocean goddess so…call taking her boons semi-Gucci? Her boons are so bad they barely count as boons anyway, lol.
As for Icarus, he's completely mortal. In fact he's the soul of a dead mortal. Icarus was the son of Daedalus, the guy who makes the hammers, and in this game's continuity he's dead from his infamous fall when he flew too high on his father's custom wax wings. Lore is that Mel tried to resurrect him but failed, which is how she lost her arm and got the creepy-but-cool blue skeleton arm in the process.
I would say since Chaos doesn’t have a curse and is a primordial being and not an Olympian, it’s fair game during one god runs.
I just feel like almost all of Poseidon duos are not great. Also splash fount needs to list its cooldown because that on the torches is laughable.
Glad to see Sea Star actually working. I always get scammed by that boon and only get duplicates of the little rewards in the Fields.
Hope the semester ended well.
I always thought a nice buff to poseidon would be to make his waves do a percentage of your weapon's base power, instead of a flat number. Becuase as it is, it really doesn't feel like you can run it with anything but the blades, because everything else attacks too slowly.
Or maybe an amount of base damage plus a percentage of your weapon's power? Still great on fast attacking weapons, but not useless for slower? Idk
"I don't remember where the purging pools are on the surface"
I'm glad you don't remember, cause there aren't any 😂
@25:37 W redpill joke xd

they really gotta put purging wells on the surface (or some other way to get rid of boons)
It would be fun to see a One Boon Run: Not one god, one boon, and then you pom it to oblivion.
Would also like to see an armor run, But I'd like to see a way to turn armor into damage before that, but I don't think there are boons that let you do that
A lot of commants are about its low damage but i just simply don't understand where that is coming from because the numbers just continually don't show that at all. In this run waves dealt 131, obv a lot of that is cause of it being heroic and pommed, but in your 32f eos run thats still more damage then the entirety of blitz and chain lightning and attack damage all combined. And if you actually look at the values with the primary exception being Axe Primary Attack and most Omegas The Special is a higher amount base then the equivalent amount earned from the percentage usually near or above 100% increase in damage at epic which is more then most other god boons
The spot that i think makes pos weak is that A) He doesnt have a reliable curse and orig is good and overall got better with the update B) The Other Curse option is just better, im looking at you hitch you absurd curse. C) It doesnt play well with some other mechanics, like the sprint being terrible for melee, and in general at high fear you want to multi hit and spread out enemies just is terrible. But damage numbers wise Pos is Good leaning great
I voted for heph next
