  7. Medea with full salvo just loads all skulls at once which I think is worse off for bossing/single targets as it slows rhe Medea rhythm down.

    However with Possessed it means you do 3 explosions at once and I think it only costs 10 magic as opposed to 30 if you pick them up separately (I could be misremembering the last part)

  9. Damn man the dropoff of the damage was crazy, it dropped way farther than I thought it would (I never played medea) legit thought u weren't gonna make it, but then part 2 went pretty well! I assume it's because there's less phase changing.

    Also if you ever wanna torture yourself a little bit, I'd suggest trying fresh file in this game. Its somewhat challenging and a little different from high fear. But I'd get if you wouldn't want to since it can def get a little boring

  11. IDK what series this would fit under, but try Engagement Ring on any omega cast synergy aspect (Momus, Mel staff, Persephone) with a high rarity/pommed Super Nova and anything you can get for cast damage (Well items, Chaos boons, Furies and Night cards). Get Dying Wish when it's offered for a lot of extra damage, and Herditary Bane is nice too. You kind of just delete entire rooms instantly with omega casts, even at very high fear (just poke stuff twice with an attack before the omega cast detonates or add cyclone from demeter if you want to play with barriers). Unfortunately the bossing sucks horribly, so you have to set up something on the side for that.

  13. Medea trivia, fresh off having read the play itself on vacation:

    The aspect of Medea and its extremely high damage playstyle that also damages the user is a reference to the ending of the play about Medea. Her husband Jason (of Jason and the Argonauts fame) has abandoned her for another woman, reducing her from his wife to his concubine. In reply, Medea poisons the new bride and her father the king of all of Corinth on their wedding day, then kills their children. A heartbroken Jason tearfully tells her she must have no love even for her own children at all to have murdered them so coldly. Medea replies that she feels a thousand times the pain he does over their loss and that she will never forgive herself for the evils she has done til the day she dies, but to spite such a vile man as Jason who took away everything from her and their own children (having reduced them to bastards by marrying this other woman), she would suffer even this eternal torment gladly. This is also why Medea gives you the Blackened Fleece token. Jason is most famous for securing the enchanted Golden Fleece, a wondrous healing artifact that Medea betrayed her own father to help him obtain. The Blackened Fleece implies that Medea used it as a focus for her most hateful curses after Jason's betrayal, and the fact that it only works after you yourself have taken damage is another reference to Medea's belief that her vengeance upon her enemies is more important even than her own personal happiness. Hence Medea's spooky demeanor in the game when you meet her, too. She murdered a lot of people, including her own brother and kids, before she ended up in the ruins of Ephyras.
