You're getting a gyro wrapped in foil with fries in a red cardboard container from Charon ffs. I hadn't even considered the winter angle. also if this were the case one would think you'd get a few more "killed by gunshot/starvation/all-consuming atomic inferno" popups in the foyer

i was not a fan of the bow in Bastion and it seems to follow the same principles in Hades my brain is too overtaxed during a melee to deal with this timed-hits nonsense

after banging my head against the final boss for like five consecutive runs, i got my first win on run 14 and then another at 1 heat the run after the first one was with the hera bow, which was kind of cheating, but the next one with the poseidon blade killed everything even faster. one particular combo was poseidon's special-attack modifier + water blast on wall bounce + the legendary boon that knocks back enemies twice for each hit. i was clearing satyr chambers in five seconds apiece

so it turns out that chaos shield + the zeus boon that makes lightning strike on special attacks + LIGHTNING BOONS 4-EVER makes pretty much everything die very fast

my recommendation is to go after hermes as often as possible, solely so you can get the boon that adds additional dashes even one extra dash will give you a tremendous amount of extra breathing room

Gort posted:Hm, I just unlocked weapon aspects for the first time. What's the best way to spend my initial few resources? if you've maxed out your bloodstone ammo then the Hera Bow is the most broken weapon by far. being able to load and fire your ammo (with the Power Shot boost, natch) sets up insane synergies with many of the Cast-related Boons, especially if Artemis is involved the Chaos Shield also cleans house if you have some decent Special-boosting Boons (i got one from Zeus that made lightning strike on impact and was clearing rooms in seconds all the way up to Elysium)

Wahad posted:Since my first clear, I've gone and cleared Hades with every weapon except Varatha. With the spear, I just keep dying to dear ol' dad. spec achilles spear and pump up the special attack whenever possible. it's still not great and you'll probably need to get lucky with some decent cast combos or calls to make up for lost damage potential, but the spear's throw is far and away its best quality speaking of calls, dionysius' is deceptively, frighteningly potent if you get a rare or epic variant. 25 damage/sec doesn't sound like much until you realize his call near-instantly drops a 5x stack on everyone around you

Internet Kraken posted:So I guess it makes sense considering he's the GOD OF WAR but Ares' wrath seems absurdly, ridiculously lethal compared to other gods. He literally flooded the screen with constantly moving, pulsing damage spheres that had barely any room between them. It was the first thing in this game that felt really cheap and like I had basically no chance of surviving. those damage fields track with enemy movement, so if you get a lot of little zippy enemies then yeah, you're in for a bad time

i had the hestia rail upgraded to do 100 damage after a manual reload, plus a chaos boon that gave me a 35% increase to my regular attack, plus artemis' regular attack+crit boon and the one that ups your crit damage i was doing 750 damage a shot

Ciaphas posted:Well now I'm annoyed, that would have been the difference between victory and defeat with Achilles' spear yesterday. Right down to the wire on phase 2 charm lasts for maybe half a second on boss enemies so you really need that very specific combination of boons to get any use out of it

Drewjitsu posted:So I'm super bad at this game, I've made it to the final boss 3 times now, can't beat them. Any suggestions? I feel the vast majority of my play style is dash attacking, very little casting. a single additional dash from hermes is enough to trivialize the final boss, but in any case you're going to get your butt kicked a lot in early runs (especially with this latest patch)

regarding the one poster who said the dash seemed to be retooled, i just did my first post-patch run and didn't notice anything different - and this was with the sword, which requires me to dash approximately four times a second

Pollyanna posted:Okay I'm sorry, but Hades is some loving bullshit. He hits like a truck and throws out all sorts of unavoidable crap that either hits like a truck or makes stuff hit like ten trucks. I'm starting to really hate this game. nothing of hades' is unavoidable, but he's very aggressive and his spin attack in particular is extremely punishing. the spin is juuuuust wide enough to hit you even if you dash away from him at melee range, so if you get an extra dash from one of hermes' boons then he's practically trivialized

it was very kind of supergiant to have the time limit contract just damage you continuously if you let it run out, rather than instantly ending your run. i beat achilles maybe 20 seconds over par still got killed by hades after, but what can you do. trying to get skelly's 2nd statue is a really big pain in the rear end!

finally cleared Heat 16 by just using the Chaos Aegis and stacking as many of Artemis' crit boons as i could. an artless way to win maybe, but it worked, especially when i got Ares' duo cast boon for damage dealing i don't think i'm going to brave heat 32

PotatoManJack posted:Just got this games yesterday, and really enjoying it so far (played about 5 runs all up). I'm still kinda learning how things work and haphazardly throwing upgrades together. I've only managed to kill Meg on my latest run, but am happily making further progress each run which is a nice feeling. Spear seems to be my favorite weapon so far, and had a neat run going where Zeus Chain-Lightning + Artemis arrows on hit meant that I had tons of little AoE damage bits flying around. the early mirror upgrades like upgrading your dashes and cast ammo are a must-have, but go for the weapons after that, because looping through heat levels with each weapon is how you gain upgrade materials

hades has the common roguelike problem where the final boss necessitates some advance planning of your entire loadout if you don't want to get your poo poo pushed in still not as bad as some other endbosses, though. looking hard at you, dead cells

I need so many diamonds rn if your heat level equal to or higher than the prize threshold, you will be rewarded the prizes for that threshold and no others for example, i just cleared a 16-heat run when my prize threshold was 4 heat. i got the 4 heat prizes, and the threshold was then set to 5 heat

A Proper Uppercut posted:Just picked this up because it was on sale. I usually hate games like this because I'm terrible at them. cast is of negligible use until you upgrade it to give yourself 3 shots and deal increased damage to enemies struck by it, at which point it becomes essential it also has absolutely bonkers synergies with numerous boons, especially if you use the artemis bow
