True
I used to use White Antler if I knew I needed the boost and was gonna get my ass handed to me enough to trigger it. I guess the health changes make sense but the one area limit feels a bit heavy handed to me. Why not keep the challenge (and reward) going for longer?
I love/loved White Antler! I'm no speedrunner, but I'd do glass cannon runs for fun. There weren't many crit effects in the last patch, so it was great fun to explode bosses.
The new change is kinda sad for runners (even I wish it wasn't 1 biome now) but it makes getting the hp req a non-issue. Sad, though. I kinda doubt Tartarsauce and Grampa would be made much faster, as I'm assuming a speedrun build would be strong enough to clear rooms quick without it
im always kind of unsure of whether or not to use sorceress on aspect of Artemis. I understand that you don't want to take damage when using your omegas when they're the parry's not ready, but it feels so slow without.
Hestia + Aphro duo + Hestia + Demeter duo felt really good, you don't keep the scorch if activated from Demeter but it makes it really easier to stack
I’m kinda surprised at the way they are changing things. Don’t know if some things are locked in but the changes to the gain boons and Selene for me seem to be bandaids for core gameplay mechanics that need fixing.
People dislike selen hexes and hate her in the first chamber. So they buffer the boons, lowered triggered costs. People still hate her and pointed out in Erebus her cost to activate is too high so they now made the warding circles activate your hex so you can use it in Erebus. Bending over backwards to try get this mechanic to work. Not saying Selene should be removed but the core way it works should be changed.
We have mana arcana cards, and several gain boons and mana potions. Mana resource management is not an issue on 99% of runs. The whole mechanic needs rebalancing I’d argue
When do you know when to gonto the surface or underworld
Wait a minute.. Glamour gain makes bosses always weak, and the hestia duo makes scorch last forever if enemies are weak. Doesnt this mean the boss can slowly die if i just hide behind the pillar?
Not a speedrunner and I liked old White Antler but didn’t love what felt like many hoops I had to jump through to avoid gaining max health—using it was the only reason I wished there was a way to manually disable 0 cost cards. I wish lasted more than an an area, but I’ll take finite uptime if it means consistent uptime
Haven't played since the first patch, but man Hestia got turbo buffed. Feels so much better to play.
White Antler could work less optimally before like the Stregth Arcana, where you got some boost if you got to low health even if you started with Titan as well. That still gave a nice bonus without requiring you to lower your max life. Currently, if you're not that comfortable with going to 30 max health, it might feel completely unusable.
Not saying they shouldn't have changed it (I never even got to use it that much as I only have it a low rank and the percentage is simply not worth it), but it does seem to me like it became way more restricted as to who might want to run with it.
Picture me practicing highish heats last night. Picks Aspect of Erebus Flames. Grabs this duo mid Fields. Loses all DD's pre-Cerb. Proceeds to absolutely destroy the rest of the run. The ticks start getting really absurd once you hit 2k+ stacks.
I got this plus poseidon aphro duo and glamour gain which makes every enemy weak and unli burn, it’s insane
these new buffs are incredible
i miss you so much white antler
Hearth Breaker+ any blast from Hephaestus (ideally max rank for 2 sec cd) + Love Handles + Sunny Disposition = stupid dmg with no magic regen ))) it's hard to get, cuz you need 2 duo boons but the burst dmg is soo sweet. you can use his sprint as well but maybe you'll need some magic regen, i'm not sure
The enemies that appeared at 19:58 weren't affected by the Glamour Gain weak. It seems that sometimes enemies spawned at the Icarus chamber don't get hit by it. I just noticed it because it happened to me as well, weird bug lol
Haelian, love the hades vids long time fan. If you see this please try the axe and run Hell Splitter and Executioners Chop 🙏🏼 with aphro it’s insane. Would love to see you try, as an experienced rougelike gamer.
After patch 3, now I'm running Arcana with 32/30 grasp, and it lets me do it. I guess one day I'll change the loadout and be capped at 30 again :/
12:38 as a french Canadian, I can confirm it's the first one … with a little less emphasis on the "O"
yes, you can stack insane amounts of scorch with the aphro duo and then the demeter duo will clear it for the 200% damage
btw the duo he was hunting for is amazing. because it only enables origination but also applies the base effects, like vent or blitz. with aphro cast and something like local climate it destroys. hestia now has some kick-ass duos.
We can't roll hammers because THEY DONT WANT OP BUILDS THAT WE KNOW ARE FUN AND BROKEN. And I stopped playing the game because of that feeling
