wow good gameplay
The Axe Special feels so… lackluster in just looks.
Maybe they could make it boomerang around in an arc than overhead.
But it also just seems like why would you even bother
Both 'phial' and 'vial' are etymologically descended from the Greek word phialΔ. Phial arrived in English from Medieval Latin and Vial arrived through Old French during the Norman conquest.
They are literally the same word, describing a small (typically cylindrical) vessel for liquid, phial is more accurate for the setting of Hades though.
Hope youβre doing well Dan.
What is wrong with Athena keepsake ? I use it all the time, only once it didnt activate before last chamber
Another idea in the vein of what you mentioned about throwing it out. What about something similar to chronosβ throw attack? That sort ranged arc?
Maybe make it so mel can βoutrunβ it as it comes back so it gets more airtime? would maybe synergise well with sprint boons and make zeus, poon and heph sprint more fun to go for in a regular run?
Hooray for the new axe special!
It got better but not bc of the special lmao
Athena Keepsake worked for me today if anyone out there is curious.
I want axe special to work like chronos scythe swing, am i crazy for asking that ? sounds more fluid tbh
Can you make Hazard boom go off with the charon aspect of the axe?
Last night I think I stumbled on the ultimate tank build. The Hera x Heph Duo plus fixed gain. The duo cuts splits damage to your mana bar, and Fixed gian means as you take damage you get mana. Just stood next to bosses with a weak powered staff and chipped away while health bareley went down most of the time. It could probably be even more tanky if I knew what I was doing.
The only small ick i have with some of the weapons in hades 2 is how it feels like you have to either commit to your attacks or your specials
In hades 1 for example the sword felt incredibly smooth between the attack the dash attack and the special slam, i havent had that kind of feeling with any of the hades 2 weapon, besides the new coat wich is kind of aiming in the right direction
I still dont really understand the axe special and its applications yet
whenever i try water before pill, the pill floats and itβs hard to swallow
Axe special sucks. It's only somewhat okay with a specific hammer that also makes it even more difficult to use.
It feels neglected.
I have the Athena keepsake work everywhere BUT Olympus. I think it's broken around going to Olympus
33:53, the adds just decided to take a break and watch the fight from that point on. πΏ
I wish the special multi hit actually counted as multi hit. With Than Axe, I only got like 1 pip per special attack. So making it register as multihit would be fun.
I feel like the axe doesn't behave as it should be…I don't know, it feels…stuck? Like I know it is a heavy weapon, but even with heavy weapon in Hades 1 you still have maneuver over it. Here it just sort of…have to finish the animation kinda thing
You can just dry swallow pills. Trust me, the water is just placebo
yoshi
The thing with the Hermes speed balancing is that to me, even if it is in fact faster after you upgraded from 10 to 25%, the fact that you canβt distinctly feel the difference when you go from a common to heroic (even if it is actually faster) just feels like a bad vial target.
Could also be a property of the axe special itself, like an input delay.
I feel like the axe special is going to need another rework. The current iteration is just so useless, even with this hammer.
I'm gonna try this one
the axe special is a S**IT why would you even try to build it ? i hope they rework it
Axe is heavy slower. Dagger is fast but upclose skull is the gun type – not great
At the end of the video you mentioned doing a Geyser Spout build with Mental Block. While geyser spout builds are very fun, you should know that that particular interaction doesn't work as you're hoping.
Mental Block has a hidden cooldown on the deflect that lasts about as long as a cast normally does, so if you find a way to cast more frequently than that (geyser spout, charon axe) then some of your casts just wont give you deflect.
Its good with zeus
What if they merged this with the previous one by adding a reflect/block functionality with the special?
I dry swallow pills lol, I feel like there just plenty of saliva already in there
The hitbox for siege shredder is the empty space circle in the center. Just noticed it while watching.
Boomerang special sounds cool though, would be great if it mimicked the shield.
Axe special should be Chronos' annoying scythe toss attack. Maybe we will get an aspect of chronos at some point
The special really needs some way of locking on to enemies otherwise itβs just a waste IMO.
If you look when he does an o-cast after getting Hazard Boom (Eris fight), the Hazard Boom stays after the o-cast blows up, and then places a SECOND Hazard Boom when the cast is placed again.
As such, if you got Lightning Lance, Geiser Spout and Hazard Boom (and Mel Staff for faster channel) you could be a Hazard Carpet Bomber π
Edit: he mentioned this 10 seconds after I wrote my comment. Day ruined 3:
Athena is pretty much guaranteed in the City of Ephyra, Erebus, Oceanus, and Tartarus if you wear her keepsake. The Fields, Rift and Mount Olympus seem to be broken though
Axe special feels like they didn't finish making it. Like it's supposed to have another effect at the end that never happens.
Vertical Roundtrip
Man lots of bad opinions being passed off as "feedback" in these comments.
Guess you can't blame a streamer for their audience though.
You're reasonable and level headed, roughly the opposite of the comments lmao
Special bad π
Herc gives a reward????
The most scuffed jank of a build my eyes have ever been afflicted with, it looks like one of my runs getting scammed by everyone
I WANNA BE A YO YO MAN he cried MAKE ME A YO YO MAN
but the yoyo master did not answer
He just kept on YOING
Try a geyser spoyt + solar ring run
13:40 is it just me or does Mel sound a bit different?
Hey Haelian, did you know the "glorious disaster" duo boon charges up the crit meter on aspect of Than? Super fast too btw. Figured it out on a recent run
Grabing hazzard bomb and lucid gain are such a power move.
I take pills most of the times "raw", only the pill, no water, if the pill is big, then I put the pill in the mouth first, then I drink water
I am used to it as I take around 7 pills a day, and it is like this (or maybe even worse as I already took more) for like almost 14 consecutive years right now, so it is not that hard for me
