Just realized I didn’t rarify the Poseidon special at the start 💀

I've had a lot of success with the Nyx sprint build: Poseidon sprint, Born Gain, and just smashing into everything.
Build suggestion! Freezer Burn + Room Temperature (Torches work best for this imo)
It's a boon heavy run, but what you need:
– Flame Strike
– Frost Flourish
– Stamp Rush (the lower cooldown the better)
– Highly Flammable
– Freezer Burn
– Room Temperature
The goal of the build is to reapply Freezer Burn quite quickly and remove the Freeze reapply-cooldown with Heph blasts (Room Temp). You could switch the Scorch to special and the Freeze to attack, but depending having Scorch on special applies less at a time + it's hammer dependant (Triple Helix, Whirling Coil help the best). So the flow would be:
Apply Scorch > Apply Freezer Burn (with omega special) > Dash through enemy to remove Freeze cooldown > Repeat
Hope to see you give this build a try 🙂
I’ve gotta check out the Olympic Update!
Suggestion: if the tooltip is correct, you could do an omega attack build for skulls using Persephone aspect
which is probably optimal over mel aspect bc +flat damage is just as good on the regular attack
love your conversations about grill or wife watching movies. a stream can't talk about just the game forever
Nyx kinda sucks. I like Selene OK, as the upgrades on sky fall make it pretty solid (giving the hex your attack boon benefit, -20% damage during the hex, some others).
19:48 are we gonna talk about that bloody darkness blast from the shadow? when did that enemy attack like that; or is it a shadow exclusive thing? I've played 60 some runs and never saw that attack once.
Run Idea : Mel Skull with Omega on Collect Hammer and +Skulls Hammer with Hera Bloodline and other +Omega buffs (Demeter)where collecting Skull Omega Interaction is Main DPS. Did it yesterday and even got the fire all skulls at once hammer from keepsake at the End. DMG was absolutly insane although i missed the Chaos +Cast DmG Infusion. But i really loved hermes -Magik use Boon for the first time ever
I actually love omega special on the coat, even though I agree the damage (and the time it takes to deal it) feels underwhelming a lot of the time. It just really suits my personal playstyle, which is much more about dancing around and keeping distance. I think if I loved playing super close, I'd never touch the special either
When he took common special and then epic stamp rush, i got so excited for a juicy oceanus phial play, so sad it was just an oopsie poopsie lol
i'm not sure i agree with rolling so hard for the duo in oceanus, in a standard non-boss room as well. taking a boon at that point increases the odds of the duo being offered later, since you have one less boon to be offered, and i think it's better to keep those rolls for the miniboss doors in fields to make sure you have at least one more chance to get it with increased rarity odds plus the chance of echo giving you another one
So as far as build recommendations go i am once again recommending aspect of selene with geyser spout.
Now it is critical that we get the sublime upgrade (hex path info in reply, this is too long) where it drops a skyfall beam when we do an omega move as fast as possible, but just go poseidon zone 1, get both tidal ring (because it has really high single hit damage) and geyser spout (preferably slip as well, for origination w/ shine fron skyfall), but zone 2 selene keepsake is critical. After beelining for the sublime upgrade anything works, because the build is basically complete. This really works well because shine is the highest omega damage multiplier you can get from an aspect (outside circe but that is not consistent, while the sublime upgrade makes shine consistent) and the omega casts have the most power, plus you get to skip using the omega attack/special on the coat which aren't in a good place right now.
Some fun boons to get with this:
1. If we have the sublime upgrade, midnight oil is okay since we don't really need to actually cast hex and the speed boost is nice
2. Heph's duo is cool, but really unnecessary tbh
3. I said any path of stars works but a great addition is the bright upgrade that gives skyfall the effects of your attack boon and pairing it with blitz, without even using attack your hex (that fires when you do an omega) will automatically add blitz to enemies and since shine is also a curse, activate origination as well. It's really potent and the peak potential of the aspect, imo. If zone 1 we can't get to the sublime upgrade (very likely) this is a must grab, since even if you have no path of stars keepsake+the three you get from a path upgrade can get you from the start to the end of all hex tree types.
I already mentioned this in another vid, but another fun run would be a max attack speed run.
Aspect of Than (heph legendary req): 45% atk speed
Heroic nimble limbs (from phial or bridal glow): 25% atk speed
Rapid Slash hammer: 30% atk speed
All of these makes 100% atk speed, somone suggested midnight oil(or whatever hermes boon makes you attack faster via hex charge). Throwing an aphro on the attack makes you slice through everything super fast its omega fun
I beat 32 feart for the first time spamming the Omega special on this weapon, get a heroic poseidon special at the start and this thing makes waves.
But if you insist that it needs a buff, don’t let me stop you….
Super moist rockets!!! picks common special boon…
something i’ve always wondered about is whether room temperature and freezer burn interact, so you can proc freezer burn without having to wait for cool-down
Ran into this Pan build that gives you big BOOMBA knives:
– Flame Flourish
– Rapture Ring
– Burning Desire
– Explosive Intent (Icarus)
Additional Boons:
– Pyro Technique
– Sudden Flurry
– Spiral Knives
anything else you could add, i didnt really pick much else up for my run :]
The specials for me have basically only been used as origination proccers. Stick a curse on them and your cast and it feels like pretty consistent origination. Especially if you have the rockets that jump to other enemies on hit or the attack that sometimes fires your rocket. I agree that i find the omega underwhelming though. I feel like I often find my self firing the omega special then almost killing the enemy with my attacks before the rockets really hit.
You should try a lob cast build! Do aspect of Charon or Momus and see if you could try to get the boons that launch your cast?
can i request you talk about the game less in these videos? i wanna hear more stories.
Have you done a run with the new Spirit Surge? It now does damage every time you spend magic so I've had a lot of fun with the Mel Coat, Thunder Sprint, Spirit Surge, Double Strike, and some Hera boons for King's Ransom. I chucked a Lightning Lance with Super Nova for good measure to add to the damage my bolts were doing. Didn't even take that long to get most of the build going on the surface 🙂
I never tried omega special myself yet (dosen't look interessting enough; I need to try) but I had a bonker run with Zeus of the normal tech.
looked like a pretty strong run to me but maybe my standards are too low :O. nice video
A build idea I was working on is a "summoner build" using aspect of eos, night bloom, sun worshipper, and ecstatic obsession. For it i also recommend using vows of grit, fury and fangs because the buffs to health and attack speed also apply to the revived allies
Build request:
– Mel torches
– Hestia Special, Aphro cast, Demeter Attack
– Hestia/Aphro duo so scorch stacks don’t diminish over time
– Freezer Burn to clear your scorch stacks for massive damage
– Any magic regen that can keep up — born gain, lucid gain, or ionic gain are ideal.
– Any Special-oriented hammers — Clean helix and triple helix are ideal, whirling coil is okay
– (alternatively, this can also be done on Aspect of Pan with the same core boons, I just think it would be cool to explore the synergy between the two duo boons)
Build request:
– Aspect of Artemis
– Primary hammer: Explosive Ambush (+400% omega attack damage but +20 magic cost)
– Second hammer: Skulking onslaught (+150% backstab damage on attacks) or wicked onslaught (+20 attacks power)
– Aphro attack, Heart breaker
– Hera cast, Born gain
– Big number!
– (also, I think an omega attack build helps offset Aspect of Artemis’s downsides; if you spend your crits more slowly with big slow charged attacks, you get more out of your crits and you don’t have to wait nearly as long for the next parry)
I think its would be interesting to see a apect of nyx + stamp rush video but like actually lean into a full sprint build and get like grand caldera and chain reaction or something, sort of a chunk damage sprint build
I’m autistic and could listen to you talking about Hades all day long… but I think it’s nice you have other things you like to share and you should talk about whatever you like! It’s really nice to hear about your wholesome life with your wife:)
ermmm please don't talk about the game more
Selene aspect with poseidon omega special and static shock is good imo.
You should try out Elewar Fused Survivors. It's free and has amazing metaprogression and good mechanics.
Sad my comment and suggestion got removed.
I've done the Xinth Poseidon special run multiple times. It's pretty good and fun but at the end of the day it's just budget Pan.
hi i got a dumb question but how are you able to see the information about duo boons in your run and what boons you need for the duo to appear
is it somthig you unlock by playing or is it a mod
or am i just to stupid to find the right button for it
