Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant’s critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.
BATTLE OUT OF HELL
As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.
UNLEASH THE FURY OF OLYMPUS
The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go.
BEFRIEND GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
A fully-voiced cast of colorful, larger-than-life characters is waiting to meet you! Grow your relationships with them, and experience hundreds of unique story events as you learn about what’s really at stake for this big, dysfunctional family.
BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY
New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Permanent upgrades mean you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. Though, if you happen to be one, crank up the challenge and get ready for some white-knuckle action that will put your well-practiced skills to the test.
SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
The rich, atmospheric presentation and unique melding of gameplay and narrative that’s been core to Supergiant’s games is here in full force: spectacular hand-painted Underworld environments and a blood-pumping original score bring the Underworld to life.

You should've mentioned Athena's dash being an activator for merciful end. That had to have played a role in it being number 1.
Looking forward to these! 🙂
Never knew Poseidon dash was so good. Might have to check it out some more. And Athena Dash is my most used Athena boon. Athena might be one of my least utilized gods, but dash boon might be one of my most used boons. Its so good Ive actually tried to use it less because it feels like a crutch sometimes.
What do you use for background music here? It's very nice
S: Athena (nothing even comes close to that utility)
A: Aphrodite (dashing in range of enemies and making them deal less damage never not helps)
Poseidon (huge AOE damage, not S because it can be annoying to chase enemies that it doesn't kill)
B: Artemis (underwhelming if you don't use dash attacks with your weapon, great if you do, so it's in the middle)
C: Zeus (man I wish it wasn't nerfed so many times, still the best out of the 3 AOE damage dashes though)
Demeter (there's so many more good ways to inflict chill, it's the best status effect though)
D: Ares & Dionysus (same shit – underwhelming damage, small area of effect, take literally everything else over it)
Edited to make it clearer.
In my own playstyle I would probably switch Poseidon and Zeus. I'll typically go after the double-strike / jolted combo with the dash so it end of being super effective most times, especially with some bonus Hermes dashes. Poseidon ends up bothering me more than anything because, depending on the weapon, I've now scattered enemies and must hunt them down.
Poseidon dash is a double edged sword, it can be so bad for some melee builds. But for everything else it is really good. I still wish Poseidon had a buff, because right now he does not feel like a good god to encounter for any content (other than farming for darkness and gems which at some point becomes dead content), I think the main reason being that his "knock against wall" effects and his legendary boons are close to worthless especially against bosses. After I finished my darkness and gem farming I've just been sad to see Poseidon appear in runs (outside Hydraulic Might for speedruns).
I prefer the ares dash the most it just felt good and it was the dash I used to beat hades the first time around.
Might’ve been nice to note that Athena and Poseidon dashes can easily apply curses with on additional boon each. This guide makes it seem like you might be missing out on privileged status by choosing those two
Since when does athena dash give additional i frames? Do you have data on that?
Awesome video! Looking forward to this series 😁
I think I agree with your ranking. But I'd also caution new players from becoming too reliant on Athena dash. It can cause you to learn some bad habits around your dash that are much harder to then unlearn. Mainly relating to effective use of dash iframes.
Great video Mr. JP. Would love for you to make more of these bitesized guides.
Cool video idea, I'd love to see more!
Athena's dash also works great for adding Exposed for privlaged status, or just dashing through an enemy for backstabs. My biggest Damage number so far was my Aspect of Arthur Tank build, using backstabs.
I don't care if it is rank 2, I am not a fan of the Poseidon dash because it causes too much screen clutter for me. Useful, yes but I can't see shit.
Great video. Surprised you didn't do an in depth look at this like the cast boons but hey, glad you did it anyways
I probably would've had a tie for first
1. Athena
2. Ares
3. Dionysius (love the curse, prefer other curses on my attack and special so)
4. Poseidon
5. Demeter
6. Aphrodite
7. Zeus
8. Artemis
There really needs to be a secondary boon that buffs dio dash. Like every tick adds +2 poison damage. Like the one for bladerifts
If only the game was out on PlayStation.
I would say weakest to strongest is: dio, artemis, demeter, aphro, ares, zues, athena, poseidon. I think athena dash is helpful early on with levels 1 and 2, but the other top dashes are better for hades
Great content, I loved this game. They must port it over to PS/Xbox for some extra well deserved sales!
What about the Hermes dash? The one with sturdy and speed boost
That game could have been sooo much better, such a huge potential but they fucked up the end. to boring, to short, to repetitive not enough weapons or boons, there are only 4 viable builds for end game and there is no reason playing on high heat because there is nothing to get from it. Also the creators of the game already washing their hand from the game telling it will not get more updates of new areas and monsters, bhaaa 100 hours and game is dead. not how roguelike should be.
Fantastic tier list!
I hope you ignore a lot of the zero heat opinions in the comments.
Yeah this is pretty accurate. I feel like context is also important, like Artemis dash is much worse if you have specific weapons equipped. Keep up the good work with your cool videos.
Can we get similar videos on attack, cast, call and special? Please make more.
So you basically lied when you dictated what your priorities were in judging the dashes. Your top priority was ultimately defense.
I would probably only shift Ares and Demeter because of how the blade rifts synergize with other Ares boons
Great guide, love these shorts… actually put a lot of the dashes into perspective and even thinking about possible builds that some dashes could be useful… I do personally like the Ares dash, have had some nice runs with it.. mainly melee runs.. when it's sup'ed up with boons that pulls foes in and wider area.. can do some epic tick damage…. Keep them coming.. can you do special's next?..
Dood the Ares rifts can absolutely WRECK if boosted up properly. Adding some extra damage and getting larger rift effect area, these can clear a room just by themselves. Add in a dual-boon from Granny or Artemis and they are VERY powerful. Easily my top choice.
The reason the athena dash is good as a mitigation tool is because you can cancel everything with dash. I dont think you mentioned that.
The AthenaAres Merciful End combo is pretty busted too.
Your guides just keep getting better
Before watching id say.
-athena
-posidon
-artemis
-demeter
-zeus
-aphrodite
-aeris
-dionysus
Basically Divine Dash is the go-to for any none niche normal builds = 90% of the builds best just take divine dash unless you're going for duo boon / privilege status.
I know Hermes isn't like a core God and he basically supplements all other gods with his perks, but his "Sturdy/Speed Increase" after a dash boon is kinda BALLER
Tbh i have a soft spot for Zeus's dash because it's how I beat Hades the first time. I hardly even touched him with my weapon, i just dashed around him and threw blade rifts when i had a chance, i dont remember if i even had a Call. It was so cheesy and hilarious to me
I am surprised, I thought splash dash would be number 1 🙂
