Thank you….your videos help newer players learn the game and give a chance to win.
Argh ! Each time you passed on Low Tolerance, my heart sank a bit more…
I find the trio boon Heart Rend for damage + Splitting Headache + Low Tolerance for more crit damages is actually one of the most busted trio boons of the game (especially with Nemesis (it's one of my go-to builds when I want a simple "check your brain out at the door" yet brutal build to erase everything in my way, daddy included).
Since splitting headache works with the amount of stacked hangover you give to an enemy (1.5% per stack), and it's limited to 5 by default, adding 3 stacks of hangover (usually on either dash or call, for good measure) brings it to a total of 8 stacks, therefore 12% more chances to crit (btw, 8 stacks of hangover with Dio's call is busted).
While it sounds like it's not much, when paired with Nemesis (base 30%) and a Deadly strike (+15%), that's nearly 60% crit chances !
If you've added any attack damage with the shop or with Chaos, and get the right hammer, like double edge or earth splitting that gives you 90 base damage, or the 200% back damage, it's not rare to get north of 1000HP, if not 2000 of dps. At 60% chance, that's pretty damn broken !
As for Zag's shield, I realized one build that work very well is, oddly enough, Athena's strike paired with the dashing wallop hammer, that transforms your dash strike in a massive running wall that deflects everything in its wake. And of course, since it's an Athena based strike, throwing in the back damage + either Merciful End or Deadly Reversal duos (or why not both) is par of the course.
My fastest run was with my shield hehe i used the hammer to remove the knockback but made it attack twice but then i got poseidon attack so it did knockback anyway
I think i just discovered a bug with Parting shot. I'm doing a Butterfly-Hestia run currently with the first Mirror-bonus on Green. I got Parting shot and Hestias Shots now display a "Backstab" when i hit Enemys from behind.
Is this allready known? And is the 35% Bonus-Damage from the Dou actully there?
If it's not known: it could be cause i got Bad News earlyer, wich is known to be bugged in the Sense that it's Castdamage Bonus is Global and thus Parting Shot might got added to Bad News.
