Okay so I know no one cares, but I did my first full surface run yesterday and made it to Olympus before dying. I don't have anything maxed out yet and barely had rank 2 on Mel Staff so I'm still proud of myself. Thank you @haelian for reigniting my desire to play this amazing game.
6:26 It looks like when you got the Path of Stars, you didn't loose any money. You stayed at 248 gold.
Is it normal for facial hair to be itchy? Genuinely curious.
I got the doggie, you need to talk with hecate a bit if you'd like to unlock the ability to find it in the mourning fields (idk if you did wawie)
I notice you also have Lap of Luxury playing nonstop. Optimal strat.
Hestia on special melts bosses with aphrodite duo
You really have to consider Raki or Hecuba for future runs. Base crit chance or Max magick might be neat
Favorite run on this weapon so far is Heph on the attack and aphro on the dash for love handles. If you wanna reverse it you can get the triple dash hammer and get Hestia duo .
Four gods:
Heph- attack or dash
Aphro- attack or dash
Hestia- special (to get Heph duo)
Apollo- cast(for Heph duo)
I actually loved Erebus gates – btw. They made things spicy or kept pushing my limits at higher heat.
I honestly really agree with the hammer criticism, but not so much for hammers in hades 2 I think they're like OKAY still. For me it's duo boons.
Almost every single hades 2 duo boon just combines the two status effects of the gods or makes one clear the other for damage:
Hail Storm, Thermal Dynamics, Killer Current, Scalding Vapor, Freezer Burn, Room Temperature, Rude Awakening, Hot Flash… and most of the rest just boost damage for how much gold/hp/max hp/etc you have. They're extremely boring. I don't know if there's a single hades 2 boon I get excited to see at all, and there's really no interesting synergistic builds in this game that are super fun like hades 1. You just kinda keep stacking more damage/attack speed/status effects until you do big numbers and win.
Almost EVERY hades 1 duo boon completely fundamentally changed the playstyle you were going to use and how you'd have to actually play the game itself if you wanted to get damage out of it, and then because it changed the playstyle it would then have a ton of certain other boons that would naturally combo with it super well you'd aim for too. There's obviously the crazy ones like Hunting Blades Merciful End and Sea Storm, but Crystal Clarity and Cold Embrace change how you position yourself for a beam build, Smoldering air you can spam your call but it's a way weaker version, Curse of drowning makes you use a cast in melee as a spell-sword type build, parting shot makes you aim your cast for backstabs, Mirage shot/blizzard shot/ice wine/scintillating feast let you turbo boost a crazy cast build, Low tolerance let you stack up status like crazy so you could go for a high attack speed build or weapon.
The only hades 1 duo boon that felt like just a boost and that's it like all the hades 2 ones are is Heartrend as far as I can remember, and even that opened up more synergies because at leas then you'd be trying to stack as many crit related boons as possible and maybe run a big damage slow weapon like aspect of arthur to try and one shot everything. Idk, I don't really feel like I have a super cool build in mind and all the fun synergies I'd like to try and get on my run to make it as crazy as possible along the way in hades 2 like I did in 1. If anyone disagrees or knows any super fun hades 2 builds let me know though.
Hecuba is female …
How do I even get The black coat recipe cuz I can’t craft it
I personally found poseidon special great for an omega special rockets build
Hestia + Hera is such a nice combo. I miss the old Hera run, spreading Hitch like a plague combined with Hestia cast would just melt hordes. Now you have to spread Hitch more honestly, but otherwise it works just as well.
So napalm in other words
signing off as "xoxo Dan Haelian" feels like "my father will hear about this" LMAOOO
also get scrammed, just like your believers every day :3
Poseidon for special + Hestia for omega cast + Vapor + Zeus/hestia to throw cast further + Apollo for cast expansion – extremely nasty combo, great aoe and single target dot, melts both surface and chronos
The build I accidentally discovered for this weapon is zeus special, hestia cast and demeter attack. This trifecta activates 3 super synergistic damage oriented duo boons
Zeus rockets go hard as well. With the chain lighting boon, and rocket bounce hammer.
11:47 yeah I've felt that sometimes as well. sometimes I can really REALLY spam the omega specials. like, hold-boom-hold-boom-hold-boom, other times i have to wait quite a long while. hold-wait until all rockets hit-hold-wait– repeat
not really sure why
The only time I remember really taking Erebus gates was if they were right before the final shop of a zone. At that point, it didn't matter if I got an onion. Otherwise, it rarely felt worth the risk, especially at higher heat runs, which you needed to unlock many of the gates anyway.
I did a Slip/Scorch/Steam/Hitch build with these, using the omega special to spread Hitch around and then hitting them with the triple-S curses. Cheesed Prometheus (clumsily), but I'm kinda into it.
Missiles might be good for Zeus boon that activates Blitz when it expires.
@00:17 imagine having a whole ass beard
