Can you spot the secret throat clear in the video?
My personal favorite aspect is the Hades Spear aspect. I love building it with Arty on the attack and just spamming spin-attacks with the hammer that makes them bigger and the one that makes them faster. It's definitely not as powerful as say the Achilles Spear aspect but I find it very fun.
The aspect of Arthur is very slow, so he says but so far my fastest run was with arthur which was 14 min, which I assume is probably not great but god are those meaty hits baller when combined with artemis
I think zagreos bow should be hier, but its true that It is a very specific artemisa crit build but i hitted in a normal run 1500 pero hit so It now a C for me at least with that build
Idk what u guys think on this, tell me if u want! 😁
Hit the nail on the head (and then shot several arrows at it): Chiron is slow as hell but SO much fun to play
I have no shame about overusing it
I for one am glad that Rama was moved up since the last video. It's personally my favorite aspect due to the sheer dopamine rush provided by Big Number (TM) and that it allows me to handle both hordes and bosses with relative ease
Chiron Bow is my favorite, probably not the best. Jist my favorite.
I personally love dash-attack spam with zag shield
Thank you for teaching me Hades. I started playing quite late and I just need to get the Zag Sword 32 Heat clear. After that I cleared 32 Heat on every aspect. What a fun game
With Gilgamesh in D, I have managed a 32 heat clear with an aspect out of each tier lol Poseidon Sword for A-tier! Also Lucy for A-tier!
Really appreciate the vids. I just watched the old one again last month to help me get back into hades with a fresh save. Recently unlocked Beowulf shield and it’s been so much fun to play with!
Edit: well now I feel silly for having maxed out the chaos shield early on lol
I was looking at the other tierlist when this came out lmao
17:12 that being said if you are interested in high heat and you're a keyboard and mouse player I'd highly recommend playing with Zeus, it's one of the most consistant high heat weapons.
29:20 in regards to rama special it is insanely easy to clear high heat with just special (I think it was my 3rd or 2nd 32 heat clear and I've been able to special spam 50 heat pretty consistantly).
34:00 No that's 400 damage base, meaning global damage affects it (unfortuantely special damage doesn't, it would be great if it did).
I love your guide vids and I'm gonna put this one on all the way when I'm eating next. THAT SAID I peeked and was shocked, I say, shocked to see Zag Shield in D. In terms of how good it is for newer players, or for high heat, or just generally getting easy clears, it seems so much better. I'll admit it sucks in terms of uniqueness or maybe fun if you don't like bullying enemies with it, but I've seen a lot of new players realize just how much stuff they can block and get through enemies so much more easily. For new players Titans Blood is also in super short supply and that's where I think Zag Shield shines. An easy +3 base damage for 1 Titan blood goes a long way when they'll only get like 6 total before they get their first clear.
The zag aspects get no love, which is a shame because a blank canvas can often be more inspiring to a build than one with defined edges. I especially enjoy zag shield for how quickly I can dash into a combo, retreat, go again, etc… and zag spear with Zeus on special melts bosses!
hestia is S in my heart
Personal favorite for me is probably Rama or Gilgamesh, both are slow and clunky but as someone who grew up with the Ramayana as a bedtime story it being slow and clunky makes so much sense I love it. Gilgamesh is simply what could be amounted to Stockholm Syndrome. I’ve used it so much that I’ve started to really like it. #3 is Beowulf because shields are awesome and Beowulf is awesome.
I don’t have every aspect unlocked or even maxed yet but my least favorite would probably be Lucifer, it feels like they undertuned it so much to the point where I don’t feel like I’m impacting much of anything without triple bomb.
Here's my dumbass thinking they made an update patch rebalancing the game to up hype for Hades 2. Guess it's back to Death Must Die.
I absolutely love Arthur for exactly the reasons why you seem to dislike it. The slow chonky attacks with huge wind ups make it feel so different to the other weapons. It's the only aspect that encourages you to play a tank and also the only sword aspect where you're not just dash striking everywhere like a cat with zoomies.
Seeing massive damage numbers pop up for the final hit of your combo is super satisfying.
Talos is a whole ton of fun though, regardless of its power rating, especially with Poseidon
It's cool when you talk about 50+ heat because that's how 20-32 heat feels for a lot of us.
I appreciate the list, Haelian. Great video.
I gotta say, I feel like I'm missing out on the fun with Beowulf; I've seen and read plenty regarding how fantastic Beowulf is but not only am I miserably slow with it, but I don't have fun using it. Mind, I don't think I'm a bad player haha — I've cleared 32 heat with every weapon, gotten sub nine minutes with every weapon, sub eight with a few — but each time I try to use Beowulf it's the clunkiest, slowest run.
Like I'm watching everyone blasting around on their bicycles and I'm standing next to mine, never learned how to ride it haha.
I feel like status effect weapons are way more fun
aspect of talos still hold my record fastest speedrun from playing hades…. no death too. its okay if ppl dont know how to play it and ranked talos for last D tier.
i have a lot of fun using gilgamesh by spamming dash attacks, its very risky but it feels pretty powerful especially if u get a good build going like merciful end or sea storm, and its generally pretty easy to proc privileged status
Any weapon nerds know if Aspect of Poseidon is based on a real sword design? The other sword aspects seem to have clear real-world inspirations so I'm curious if that's the case for the sort of axe-blade at the end. Otherwise I'm just gonna assume Poseidon = hammerhead
i would definitely say lucifer is my favorite aspect. even though its not powerful, it is just fun. pink love lasers, super soaker with poseidon, or chonky special builds with triple bomb.
Big fan of these tier list videos. They’re a lot easier to listen to while falling to sleep than the regular content.
I guess you could say the aspect of Chaos bonus shields move… chaotically
I edge to your throat clear.
Honestly Zag spear should not be D, it at least has explosive launcher, one of the better builds in the game.
don't understand the Gilgamesh hate T.T the maim dmg is high wdym
