BTW I figured it out from yesterday. To use the Titan Blood on a weapon you have to unlock all 5 weapons first, then die. I hadn't unlocked the railgun yet because I was spending keys on mirror upgrades.

 So on my last win I think the (current) last boss made a cheeky comment that basically said "well if more people bought the game / we had more manpower/money the whole game would've been finished already" .I've only had a few wins but did quite a few runs and I've yet to unlock my LT trigger skill. I guess I just have to talk to people and hand them more booze?

Had my first victory! Exagryph with inescapable blast and the rapid fire/+ammo daedalus upgrades, doom on attack with dire misfortune (+ doom damage on multiple triggers), deflect dash, and shatter shot because its the best cast option. That said, it took me 30-ish runs to finally get there. I'm not great at this game, no matter how much I love it.

I had a run yesterday with the Zeus/Artemis duo that makes dropped cast shards into AoE lightning storms, as well as bonus lightning hits and fun stuff like that. Nearly died in the arena because three were just sitting next to Theseus triggering his second phase earlier than I was prepared for.

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

What do you think are the odds that Hades will get workshop/mod support? That really is the deciding factor between getting it cheap on Epic or Steam.

Yeah, that's the downside to having a build go crazy with passive damage, it's almost certainly going to send Theseus crying to Olympus before you're ready.

How does the RNG work anyway? It seems like it's determined before you even leave the house, since quitting a run and starting over will give you the same exact choices. I dunno if it works across weapons, but it definitely happened to me when restarting runs with the same one.

Same, took me about 25 runs and a very lucky streak of Artemis boons (cast buff, secondary after casting, extra casts all epic or above, + a bunch of others). No idea what I had as a weapon, I don't think I ever used it. Does the railgun rocket upgrade work with the Eris aspect?

Playing around with this some more, one thing that's really been irking me is how much invulnerability stuff the bosses get. It's not uncommon to pop off a Zeus Call or something and whoops, the boss just entered an invulnerability phase, seems like you're about to waste half of it. I know it's gated by boss health thresholds, but still. It's annoying having to keep track off.

I think it’s a band-aid to fix some of the boss scripting. It used to be pretty easy to skip boss phases entirely with some well-timed burst damage, especially on the Hydra.

Is the solution to just let people womp bosses in a matter of seconds if they've got the right build and/or Darkness level? I wouldn't think people would mind that.

Does the game sometimes pre-determine that a particular run is going to be more or less difficulty/bountiful/whatever? One of my runs yesterday felt like the game had flipped to some kind of "gently caress you" mode. I didn't get a single colored boon the entire run, only white, which I don't think I've ever seen happen before. Also, the projectile enemies seemed to fire a lot more projectiles at once. The whole run took about 10-15 minutes longer than usual and felt a bit bullet-hell-ish moreso than the other runs. The Barge of Death was a little bit absurd. Oddly enough I actually got further than I ever did before (got the second phase of the final boss down to about 25%), but I think that might be because I finally got enough darkness to unlock the third death defiance charge. My loadout wasn't terrible (rail with poison-inducing rocket launcher special and blade rift on both cast and dash) but since I had the common versions of all the powers, it just felt a bit underpowered and I had to chip most things to death.

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)

Poseidon's sword is usually stronger than hera's bow, but slightly more dangerous to use as you need to get close to the enemy slightly more often. It also scales better with a massive +50% cast damage at max rank. Also Hera's bow might be buggy right now according to the rest of the thread? And yeah, can't go wrong with the Chaos Shield, it's just a very well rounded weapon and you can't really get a bad run with it if you build it properly. In other news, turns out getting Athena's dash as your first boon is pretty good.

The advantage Hera's bow has is twofold. One is you can stack the casts for a burst that you can't do with regular casts without the Hermes speed buff, and you can prep it while dodging and fire it off much quicker than the cast animation. The second is more subtle, but the casts only deploy once the arrow hits the target. That means for things like Ares blade rifts they travel directly to the target and then start spinning, which lets you rift people from a greater distance. The sword damage boost is definitely nice, and that plus being able to special to get them back is stronger than the reduced timer the bow gets. Unless the safety of the bow is part of it, I think they could use a little something to make them stand apart, right now they kind of occupy the same niche. threelemmings fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Dec 23, 2019 |

Currently in a run with Hera bow, Burst Shot, Athena's Cast and Artemis' legendary (and a few Well trinkets) so with 7 bloodstones, each shot (Sniper Shot and Enhance Power Shot) means I'm firing what amount to be, tactical nukes. This is by a wide margin the most broken run I've ever had and I love it.

So I've finished two runs with the Adamant Rail, and now am stuck with some bad choices in what i put Titan blood into, for the life of me I can't finish a run with anything else and the only time I finished with the rail was the triple bomb. I really wish they would let you respec your Titan's blood out of weapons cause its super annoying that I can't farm anymore without clearing more with other weapons now. Like what are some good combos for the sword even or just about anything I always end up at the end with very poor final boss killing damage and its super frustrating.

Add 1 heat and beat Fury boss with each of the weapons for 5 more blood Use the spear special and keep trying until you get "bounces to 7 enemies with bonus damage" Sword: my best non-Poseidon run I also specialized hard into special with I think doom on attack. Special was faster, hit twice no knockback, I used deflect but anything that doesn't knockback will work, you want enemies to stay still while you whale on the ground. I think weak is one of the best effects in the game if you're not able to read all of the enemies all the time yet. kaschei fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Dec 24, 2019 |

How reliably can you get up to the the last area? And can you do it without buying anything from Charon? Because the last shop frequently has Titan Blood for sale at 1500 gold or a diamond for 1000 that you can use to trade up from the broker back home, this way you only need to make it past Elysium and are free to just die to the final boss while still amassing blood without swapping weapons or turning up heat.

It's only one possibility, but it works fine with Zagreus Aspect without a single Titan Blood.

Hogama posted:Stygius has a decently fast hit rate, so one nice combo is Zeus/Poseidon with maybe a splash of Ares to get his duo combo with Zeus. The ideal is getting Poseidon's attack upgrades (e.g. Tempest Strike and Tidal Dash are typically going to proc fastest... you do need one Zeus attack for the Zeus/Poseidon duo, so you could go for the special or cast replacements as you won't want to use the slower attacks as often on this build), Flurry Slash from a Daedalus Hammer, and hopefully extra dashes and attack speed increase from Hermes. You'll really want Zeus's legendary, and Double Strike is the perfect second tier power to get there. (A good secondary track on this build is getting Zeus's Aid for your Call and stuff like Billowing Strength and/or the god gauge enhancers, but it's not the bread and butter.) Just kinda tried this i did get the tempest strike and flurry strike and zeus cast, but that left me doing 38 damage a hit at hydra which was just painful. Just seems like this is how most of my runs go.

If you switch out the keepsakes that give you the speed/damage boost (Pierced Butterfly is one but can't remember the other at the moment) do you keep whatever bonus you've earned up to that point? Also, do Olympian keepsakes 'reset' between acts, e.g. if I start with Artemis can I force a second boon from her at the start of Asphodel if I just don't switch out of it? I'm guessing the answers are no and no...
