This run illustrates a lot of the difficulties I have with the torches. Granted this was at 24 fear, but still… It’s a struggle.

The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.
BATTLE BEYOND THE UNDERWORLD
As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you’ll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment.
MASTER WITCHCRAFT AND DARK SORCERY
Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick, so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger still with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities.
MINGLE WITH (MORE) GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
Meet a cast of dozens of fully-voiced, larger-than-life characters, including plenty of new faces and some old friends. Grow closer to them through a variety of new interactions, and experience countless unique story events based on how your journey unfolds.
EVERY RUN IS ITS OWN ADVENTURE
New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again. Reveal the mysteries of the Arcana Altar, tame witchy familiars, and gather reagents using Tools of the Unseen to get closer to your goal.
THE PERKS OF IMMORTALITY
Thanks to a variety of permanent upgrades and the return of God Mode, you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience what Hades II has to offer. But if you happen to be one, you can brave escalating challenges for greater rewards, and prove just how divine you really are.
SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
Rich, atmospheric presentation and storytelling fused with responsive action is the hallmark of Supergiant’s titles. Vivid new hand-painted environments, even smoother real-time 3D characters, and an electrifying original score make this mythic world burst with life.
COMING TO EARLY ACCESS
Getting player feedback through key phases of development was vital for the original Hades, so we plan to reprise that process once more, once this game is further along. Add Hades II to your wishlist to be the first to know when Early Access is available!

i've definitely been struggling with the torches… i think having the special spiral around melinoë is really disorienting – i end up just getting hit a lot
channeling your omega special then spamming the attacks is how you get use of the crazy blast damage. it is a close range monster when used that way. I do hope they make the attacks sort of stick around enemies or slightly track them so that there is a different way to utilize the blasts
just did 24f moros today to finish out testaments- torches have fast attacks but the explosion base damage is huge. i find a lot of success using some combination of clean candle (to give the omega special and omega attacks more overlap for more big explosions) and a good mana regen (born gain is prob the best but quite a few work), then you setup the omega special and point attack at whatever you want to die. it does CRAZY damage with the huntress arcana as for some reason the giant omega attack explosions count as normal attacks and therefore get the 50% boost.
I like where they're going with the torches, but I wish they'd add a small stagger to the special, even is it's limited to one hit per enemy or even one enemy.
It's ok JP. The torches stress me out as well.
