This game does the frustrating thing that also happens in Path of Exile where there's often so many PC effects on the ground you can't see the enemies or their attacks 5 cluster grenade Rail paints the entire ground in dark black circles that suddenly change position when the projectiles hit walls It also does the mistake of making enemy effects look pretty based on the art instead of high contrast colors - this happens often in God trials where the effects match the god color and blend in with the ground Like it's slick as hell presentation to see everything exploding in lighting and arrows every 0.2s, it's immensely unfriendly to the player

Upgraded it to level 4 before the final boss and I just facetanked everything. That fist upgrade that does more damage on consecutive attacks + 20 seconds of immunity = a very, very fast patricide

Aurubin posted:I imagine this has been asked a billion times but I'm still a little puzzled at the choice to turn Asphodel into a fire and brimstone hell. I get the ingame explanation. Did they feel they couldn't square the circle of going from Asphodel to Elysium? Too hard to differentiate? Grey Green > Grey > Green isn't a diverse color palette so Red makes the transition pop way more They also comment how it's not supposed to be on fire and they need to finish renovating to put it out

Waltzing Along posted:Man, Bull and Theseus. 3 tries now, best I've done is 1 down and bull to 20%. Progress. Kinda hard to avoid damage on that one w/ the huge AOEs. Trick to bull is to always be dashing way behind him and only strike after his 3rd hit 2nd trick is bull projectiles in 2nd phase home in on you (and bounce off walls) and if you're always behind, you'll be safe Theseus you can either lure bull to and spam AoEs to tag both (risky) or lure bull to outside of arena and use pillars for cover (safer, slower)

Level 1 Guan Yu works best when stacking Weak, Sturdy, and other sources of damage reduction - you can also buff the damage a fair bit from the Thanatos keepsake early on. If you get to about 80-100 health by the end of the run (around 265-325 HP normally) you can tank a couple hits from the bosses and then spin attack your way to heal back up. Acorn helps tremendously. You'll probably want Athena for the extra Death Defiance charges. Getting dash attack buffs also helps tremendously - the 3x dash attack hammer turns it into an apocalyptic room clearer.

Gamerofthegame posted:My only real grievance with the same is the disparity with weapons, mostly in the form of their specials. Boons give a nice bonus to attack, sure, but they give a massive boost to their special stat... which makes the rail and bow extremely strong and the spear and shield kinda suck. Shield, Sword, and Spear get really bonkers attack upgrades from the hammers usually on the level of triple damage throughput so it tends to cancel out versus the nuclear rail bombs or the bow close range / explosive arrows / stacking damage on special

You can get the Aspect of Eris self buff fine when you have the self damaging bombs by being in the AoE and dashing with iframes up when the bomb hits

Bow benefits big from dash attack builds and so Chaos boons really buff it Bow and rail are both real dependent on what hammer upgrades you pick since whatever you spec into gets like a 300% multiplicative boost from all the multishots or what have you They're both real flexible about speccing into either straight percentile damage or stacking damage over time

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Hm, in that case are there any aspects that are considered hands-down great even at low levels? All the aspects are real solid even at the first rank and will carry you to victory - it's just that upgrading them gives such a power boost it's like cheating Use your blood to unlock them all and see which one feels best, then you can use blood from full clears to amp up that aspect

zoux posted:Should you max out Zag on all aspects first? I'm looking at shield and Zag doesn't seem that great, but the other aspects take a lot of blood to be worth a poo poo, right? Don't start pumping Zag aspects until you unlock all the hidden aspects available to you - the other aspects play differently enough one of them might click with you real good, and they're still real effective at rank 1. The hidden aspects are still real busted good at rank 1 too, they just take more work

Mox Hombre posted:Man, dash nova is awesome (that's the stygian blade daedalus upgrade that makes you lunge ahead for the special). I got the hermes boon that gives you the fast special (+40%) and had the zag sword aspect, and you can just zap around the room almost instantly just using the special while annihilating people. Artemis gets the biggest numbers most of the time once you boost critical hit rate; Aphrodite is the biggest percentile boost on the face of it

Every time I stumble into a build that makes me go "huh, this is feeling like an Attack build sort of run", Chaos gives me nothing but cast crystals and resource boosts, which leads me to pulling this face Cast crystals own, they're 100% more cast by volume

TravelLog posted:Is this true? I know the basic sword combo with absolutely no modifiers deals 75 damage (20 + 25 + 30), which is the same for the 5-hit combo for Fists (15 each hit) but I've never actually timed them or done the testing to determine how the DPS compares when you also figure in their openers (e.g. Dash-Upper for Fists). Sword gets hammer options that are enormous multiplicative damage boosts (200% backstab damage, Flurry Slash, Colossus Chop) which gets it spiking higher than the fists if you can stay in the sweet spot Fist hammers tend to increase AoE coverage and general utility - far fists are a really nice QOL

crestfallen posted:If you have it, the spear point is your friend in Styx. 100% this While it's tempting to bring the Pom Blossom up for about 8 poms over the course of the full chambers, running spear point is going to save you like 200 HP from poison or final boss ticks Acorn's also real good since it's like 250 HP saved on the boss, it just doesn't help in the chambers

Unlocking more aspects is more important than leveling the weapon aspects because the rank 1 weapons can consistently beat the game up to about 6 heat Rank 3 weapons are good enough to do Extreme Measures 4 and feel good By the time you're at high enough Extreme Measures to need the damage bumps from higher rank weapons, you'll have enough blood from prophecies and the Pact you can level whatever you like

fool of sound posted:It took me almost 100 clears to unlock all the aspects and that with quite a bit of brokering. That's a big ask. Yeah some of the Secret aspects are really stubborn on coming out - they're not necessary to beat the game and start advancing up the heat levels though Being able to choose from Achilles spear or Hades spear is a gamechanger compared to Zag spear

I've cleared with it, but it's consistently a situation where I'll have like... 12hp and 0 death defiances left. Try the Achilles spear with Stygian Soul and slam out 125% damage casts

Do I have a way to get more titan blood other than lucky deals at the Sketchy Emporium now that I've beaten all the furies with the unlocked weapons, or do I really need to push through and punch my father first? There's a shop just before punching your dad that sells a blood for 1200 obols 50% of the time (the other 50% it's a diamond for 1000)
