In this run I try to highlight a safe non-cast sword build. This build utilizes Athena special with double nova to make a formidable deflecting build with OKish damage. Thanks for checking out the video!

The safest sword build is Excalibur because it has a huge range and is easy to keep your distance once you learn it's boundaries. On top of that it also does some of the highest damage in the game so you have to risk as little as possible if you play smart! Just my opinion though.
i am VERY EARLY
: D
I just beat the game for the first time ever with the sword! I guess I like to just plow through, haha. I did a build with Zeus and Poseidon and a little Aphrodite. Took me 37 runs bc i suck but Iâm so proud of myself
Found a pretty nutty build today
Achilles spear with Poseidon cast level 7 and blizzard shot and mirage shot
Any build can be good with the right boons and hammers. Y O U taught us that; awesome content by the way!

The only safe sword builds have you keep your sword in its sheath because youâre doing a cast build wherein Zag just happens to be lugging around a sword for the very, very occasional stabbing. But I find that taking a weapon that is less than ideal helps focus the choices and Iâm more likely to get a good cast build going. Itâs strange but the freakinâ twin fists feel safer to me than the sword. At least when you dash-claw with the Gilgamesh aspect youâll hit the target. Zag seems to delight in just missing the foe with sword dashes.
Completely unrelated to the build for once. But mad respect for keeping up the day job and streaming, seems like the kinda job that would be incredibly draining and the contents always still fun!
Glad I came across this channel defo gonna check out the twitch
Safest sword build is to switch to Rail
The safest sword build is Zag Sword with Zeus, splitting bolt, double strike and flurry slash, maybe hermes attack speed.
Not because it protects you like Athena, everything just dies before it can lift a finger to damage you. đ
Any build is safe when you git gud at dodging. Awesome content, keep up the good work.
Interesting use of that hammer!
I did some improvements on this build and still found it a bit weak without double nova. It's hard to get much damage output if you don't also use attack a fair bit unless you get double nova and like faster special and all that. I did it with nemesis with aphro attack and athena dash too, with their duo that gives more crit on reflect. I had artemis call but was unable to get heart rend despite a lot of persuasion and like 5 attempts. That would have helped a lot. I found it better for a simple build to just throw on ares attack in asphodel with the keepsake and grab the duo and alternate attack and special (or athena dash if you have that too). Like if you're gonna throw athena on special you might as well go merciful end. It's usually the reason you DON'T go merciful end now that you need attack or special.
