  1. 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.

  2. Another idea in the vein of what you mentioned about throwing it out. What about something similar to chronos’ throw attack? That sort ranged arc?

    Maybe make it so mel can β€˜outrun’ 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?

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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 can’t 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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 πŸ™‚

    Edit: he mentioned this 10 seconds after I wrote my comment. Day ruined 3:

  10. 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
