Got Hades down less than 25% health on my 8th run, so close to killing him in the first try....

Gah Im getting so close to finishing a run. Just had a spear run that got Hades down to the final 40% without a call or really amazing items, so all I need is some luck with boons or another deaths defiance upgrade and I think I have it

 Finally beat it with this build somehow. I had almost nothing that synergized so I just abused the shield when charging move to stay in place and block all damage between attacks, which apparently was good enough

 And a second run is done. This is more what I expected to win with lol. It just put out so much damage, and I definitely felt more in control of fights than the first clear

 Finally had a ridiculous run. This + aspect of zagreus + a few more dodge boons + 50% dodge after a near miss meant I never got hit, and I was putting out around 100 damage per attack hit before any of the backstab/exposed bonuses.

B33rChiller posted:This was the first run where I didn't lose a dd to Hades. I feel like charged shot could take down hades without any upgrades at all, given enough time. Other than the adds phase, it has perfect defense against anything he can do.

Fitzy Fitz posted:The only thing this game is missing is some sort of endless challenge mode at the end of a run so that you can play around with your finished build. It always feels like it ends as soon as it really comes together. Would also be awesome to have an upgrade to bring skelly on a trip to the surface too as a sort of DPS check

Prop Wash posted:Remapped cast to the right trigger and it’s just so much comfier now. I’m using the switch pro controller and having to reach from attack to cast was a pain, but this is way nicer. The downside is that I didn’t remap Gift (not sure if I can) so now whenever Zag hands something to an Olympian on the escape it’s accompanied by a cast. Youre basically fastballing the nectar at them

ZypherIM posted:Sygian soul works fine with poseidon sword. You still get the 50% damage boost, and if you're using a direct damage cast you can still use the special to proc exit wounds. If you get up to 3 casts (artemis legendary, or chaos+chaos/well buff) I'm not sure you really lose any potential dps anyways because of cast times, and at 2 its probably fairly close. If you're doing any duration casts stygian with poseidon is the best option IMO, or at the very least the easiest. Maybe the spear buffing cast would be better damage on bosses, but posiedon cast already does just fine there. Thats a whole lot of stuff to make stygian soul be on par with infernal soul though, and infernal soul is at that level right out the gate + benefits from those same boons + benefits way more from rapid casting. Its not a tradeoff like with demeter beams, you are just going to be doing less damage with stygian vs infernal, and you gain almost nothing in return. Hera bow otoh sounds like it would work great with stygian and duration casts like ares or dionysus, but I haven't played around with it yet.

ZypherIM posted:"A whole lot" being literally any increase in max casts, the sources of which are two things you want to be aiming for anyways. The difference is do you want a bigger 'out of the gate' option or do you want a 'scales better if you invested more into it' option. I was talking about the poseidon sword specifically dude. I know how stygian/infernal soul works

Infinite Karma posted:Poseidon's cast is amazing and so is Ares (especially if you can stack Blade Rifts on dash and double-dip on your rift enhancers. Artemis is some really high damage and is homing. The only stinker IMO is Aphrodite, and Zeus and Athena are mediocre compared to everything else, not being much better than the default cast. Aphrodite works well with poseidon sword, especially since a couple gods have boons that do aoe damage on cast. The base damage is massive, youre always close enough to dislodge your crystals, and you take less damage when you inevitably mess up.

Hulk Krogan posted:I took the shotgun on an Eris aspect run because I needed it t for the prophecy, and it fuckin slapped tbh. In fairness, I am generally dashing up next to enemies to get into the special attack blast radius anyway, so it was just free extra damage. I dont have Hestia upgraded into a place worth using yet but I expect that to be the purest shotgun experience. e: apparently it doesnt work like that

It's a jack of all trades and I like it for that. Nothing fiddly, good range, and versatile. Also hades spear with a good attack boon is enough to win a run comfortably by itself

Finished a run where at the end I had effective 50% dodge rate, sturdy on dash, and deflect on all the things I used, and just completely ignored what hades was doing. Im rapidly realizing that anytime you ask yourself "can this stupid idea work?" it somehow worksbig cummers ONLY posted:Dash-special stuff annoys me because I can't pull off that button combo easily, so rather than improve I just refuse to use it and die to the hydra Im constantly rebinding the keys. The run above used the dash special primarily and I just remapped it to X

Demeter fists and Hades spear are the most fun weapons for me so far, and Eris rail will probably join it once I put some titans blood into it, but I dont have a whole lot fully upgraded other than the zagreus stuff.

WhiteHowler posted:What do people like for Hera bow? I was thinking of using Festive Fog, but Dio never even showed up this run. Blade rift needs the Artemis duo to feel good on Hera bow, but when you get it, its fantastic. For casts, this is one of three weapons that makes aphrodite cast worth using since range isnt an issue, and its a good option for raw damage if you cant find Dio (and I dont know how Dio works with it anyways tbh)

I was on a 2 streak, gave up next run in Tartarus because I screwed up my trinket choice, went back in, won the run, and was on 3 streak. Can confirm it doesnt. I mess up my trinket choice every run but only had my streak ended by Extreme Dad
