The Apollo beams after the cast indeed don't follow you, they just stay where you were the moment your cast detonates.
frog can absorb the transformation and other ranged attacks
Try zeus infusion with arctic ring and gale force from demeter, makes your cast do like 300 dmg per second. Also allows easy blitz procs
Winter harvest doesn’t seem to work on Chronos rn. Don’t know about other bosses.
Has Haelian done a Heartthrob run yet? I tried to do an Island Getaway Momus run (Aphro special) and couldn't get Double Moonshot, but the Apollo/Aphro duo totally saved the run. Damage on Eris from triple Heartthrobs was kinda nutty tbh
going back to play hades 1 after almost 100 hours in hades 2 and it's still great. it's not like 2 isn't different enough and 1 still has alot of things that help it hold its own. i swap between them and it's like a refresh between each one. they're both must plays honestly you can't play one without playing the other
To return to an old Hades favourite – have you considered a full splash dash run? Poseidon dash, Apollo Gain for the duo. Not sure what would be best to add to that to bring the damage up for bosses but it was a lot of fun at taking out mobs
I wouldn’t be surprised if the final boss for the surface turns out to be Zag or Persephone, and they’re working for Chronos under duress to protect their family.
The Demeter Legendary unfortunately doesn't seem to work AT ALL against Chronos, I had it against Cerberus and she did a voice line for him. Meanwhile at the Chronos fight I waited for him to be low HP and THEN applied Freeze so that it's not on anti-Freeze CD, and still it didn't proc the Winter Harvest.
My fav atm is the heph triple hammer on casts with either of the ranged cast. Dont need to channel and can just chuck them at range.
One thing I want to see if you can cheese is Hera’s sacrifice boon. I got it working really well with a Hephaestus attack boon — got the blast going off every two seconds.
Why is Chronos Roman?
I got a voice line from Hera the other day while I was playing that called back to choosing her second in a trial. I have no idea if it had any effect on anything, but she mentioned me spurning her on the last run. Thought that was kinda cool to include.
I was waiting for you to try this combo!! My first 24 heat run was using Thanatos Axe with Zeus cast, I killed Cerberus in 3 casts, I thought you were sleeping on Zeus cast. The Thanatos aspect goes HARD with Zeus, place the cast, walk away so you don’t take damage, and kill EVERYTHING.
Funniest build I've done so far is fully AFK kill Eris.
Malice in Kind from Medea (every DD used makes the enemy that caused it lose 15% hp) + Icarus' Destructive Coating (+40 armor, losing it does 4,000 dmg to a nearby enemy), I think the Zeus on-hit boon that has a chance to multi-proc, and some dodge + damage reduction boons.
Local climate is good for this cast because most of the time you only place it on one enemy it dies then your just waiting for it to expire to use it on another enemy
No slots filled and rolling for that specific boon, not always gonna pan out 😅
I'm not sure exactly how it works but when you get sheeped, you can spam dodge, attack and special and you move way faster. Theres like an extra dodge animation. Maybe sheep has a dash strike?
Yeee Zeus cast with fast staff and aphro attack carried basically all my 8 and 16 heat runs so far 😀 love to play it 😀
How Kronos slips into a "demon voice" sometimes makes me think it could be a hint that you'll fight him on top of Mt. Olympus as his ultimate form kind of thing. Charybdis could end up being the 2nd boss but I also kind of see them as like the King Vermin mini boss. Where they're not quite a boss but also more then a mini-boss
Frinos helps a lot IMO. He blocks ranged attacks(which includes Hecate's morph spell) as base, but he also gets a damage upgrade that damages enemies he lands on. It's nothing crazy but you don't have to run across the map to activate him. Toula is definitely a cat. 50% of the time they are cute, 45% of the time they are annoying/useless, and 5% they actually do something useful.
I had a run where I had both the Axe hammer that causes your Omega Special to fire twice, as well as the Apollo Legendary that causes your Omega Special to fire twice, and I'm not convinced the effects stacks. It seemed like it still just went off only twice. Unfortunate, given that both increase the magick cost, and the Axe hammer also increases the time it takes to fully channel.
