I wish I was actually good at this game. I mean I've beaten it eith all weapons up yo 10+ heat and done EM4 runs and all but I don't feel like I really learned any patterns or got really specifically good at playing. I just spam dash and win by never letting up on that button.

If it wasn't for the shield and gun I'd probably have a higher average heat. I cannot get good at those two. Meanwhile fists are sitting at 22 heat done.

I guess I should look into spending my 6 Titan Blood. Is there a recommended weapon to use them on for new players? I like all of the weapons except for the Bow (which I've ironically made it to Lernie with, but not Sword or Fists).

I wish the Heat modifiers didn't include stuff that messes with making or keeping a build. Would rather more stuff that was about the enemies or levels.

Out of all of the options, there are only two that do that: Underworld Customs and Approval Process. You honestly can ignore those for a long time.

Underworld customs isn't that bad. You only need to burn three boons total and get a cash refund. You also get a pick on what you burn, so most of the time you can sacrifice something that isn't key to your build.

I suppose by the time I could get good enough to worry about having all Heat modifiers turned on and turned up the second game might be out and I'd just switch to that

I got all the achievements, everything but the third skelly statue and the last few titles. Now that there’s a hades 2 a comin I’m going back to get those last few. Only now I suck I’m starting over and working my way back up to the top. Lost my combat edge, but oddly my fishing has improved.

For fastest progression, only unlock 4 new aspects Skelly's favor is the first favor token you can unlock, and requires 4 weapon aspects and then 5 blood dumped into the basic Zag Sword aspect to fully upgrade it.

I like all of the weapons except for the Bow (which I've ironically made it to Lernie with, but not Sword or Fists). Sword: Nemesis aspect gives flat +% to crit for a few seconds after you special, nothing fancy but paired with Artemis attack (even more chance to crit) or Aphro attack (big boy numbers when you do crit) it can be pretty beefy. Spear: Hades aspect gives huge attack/special buffs on foes hit with the spin and it's not too hard to get into an easy rhythm. Look out for quick spin/massive spin on hammers to really help the build out. Shield: Chaos aspect lets you throw multiple shields after a bullrush which combined with the right boons can do a lot of damage, but imo it's kind of a boring weapon since it's just bull rush -> special -> repeat forever. Bow: Chiron bow is OP as gently caress, the last foe you hit with an attack is "marked" and all special arrows from the volley seek the marked target. There are lot of ways you can build it but my favorite is Aphro attack, Artemis special, hope for their duo boon. The crits will be plentiful and the damage massive. Can be a little difficult to clear out huge waves since it's very much a focus down one enemy weapon Fists: Talos aspect is very fun, your special pulls non-shielded enemies to you from across the planet. You can hugely gently caress with enemy positioning and completely control the flow of most encounters to your liking. Only downside is you can't pull bosses so you need to fight them more traditionally. Rail: Fully upgraded Hestia + Aphro attack is arguably up there for the most broken build in the game, although it is a bit boring to play since you have to reload before every shot. Eris is weaker but more fun IMO since you need to play and position around hitting yourself with your special to proc the damage bonus. Sydin fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Jan 5, 2023 |

Chiron is good but you really need to upgrade it with Titan blood before it hits its stride. I also like it's hidden aspect but you won't have access to that right away. Nemesis is good sword and I've seen high level players really make good use of it. Posiedon can also be fun if you pair it with a good cast boon. Highly subjective but I mostly find spear to be poo poo with the exception of Achilles which is also good for casting. Talos and Demeter are fun for fists, but default Zag aspect is actually pretty good too. For Rail I'm a big fan of Eris, but it does take a little to get used to blasting yourself in the face with the special. IMO the big thing is that (fists aside) any aspect is an upgrade over the basic zagreus aspects.

Yeah I will say one great use for the blood is to pour it into the zag fists, and then run them with Hermes' keepsake. Once you get comfortable taking risks to clear rooms fast enough to proc the keepsake, you can wrack up stupid amounts of dodge chance.

My favorites Sword: Everything is lame until you get the hidden aspect Spear: Archilles is ok, you can just treat the special like it's a damage boosting reload. Probably best with a high damage cast. Shield: Zeus is fun because you can stunlock folks with the disc. Bow: I'm a Hera Bow lover. It's great with a big damage cast and lots of bloodstones to load. Personally, I prefer Aphrodite, lots of people like dio which is fine too. Fists: The vanilla zag is the best one, so you don't need to unlock another right away Rail: Hestia is spectacular if you remap the reload button to something comfortable. Treat it like a sniper / single shot gun.

For the gun I think the game doesn't have a good default control scheme. Having to move your thumb off the face buttons to reload is a real drag. Since trying out the gun I've moved the Codex to the right joystick click instead so Reload can be on a trigger.

As the only person on the planet who plays Hades with KBM, the gun is fine except it has the same problem every weapon does of special being mapped to Q by default which is kinda awkward. I used to map it to LShift but these days I just use a third mouse button.

Poseidon Sword isn't a bad one-level investment until you get the hidden aspect: you take the 3 bloodstone mirror upgrade and a cast that embeds in enemies and try to fish for Exit Wounds. A lot of the aspects aren't super compelling without several levels.

Zag fists are your best bet for early blood. hold on, let me find my old post about this ScootsMcSkirt posted:One of my fav builds that you can do early on is dodge stacking with the Zag aspect for the fists. It only takes 5 titan blood to max out the aspect and the rest should be easy to get. You will need the alternate dash skill on the mirror, the one that gives you just one dash but also a 50% dodge chance if you dash near an attack. You will also need Hermes gift, the lambet plume

I used to map it to LShift but these days I just use a third mouse button. If you're playing KBM you should absolutely map Special to the right mouse button. Then put cast wherever is most comfortable for you. (I do middle click because I three-finger the mouse, but a side button or on the keyboard would also work.) I dunno why the default KBM control puts special on Q but it's beyond dumb. You will never be using cast more than one of either attack or special. Also I do KBM too, because I have absolutely no controller reflexes and am even worse at the game with a controller in hand. edit: TK-42-1 posted:Is it just me or does everyone hit the tenth win with extremely OP builds that they there very excited to kick the poo poo out of dad with?

I play kbm too. I just feel very out of control when I play on the deck so I just don’t do bow/gun for those runs. Lucifer with the fast-special hammer is one of the most fun runs I’ve had playing this game. Just absolutely melting everything while cackling like an idiot.

christmas boots posted:Nemesis is good sword and I've seen high level players really make good use of it. Here's a run I just did on my new save. I got kinda blessed getting world splitter, hoarding slash and an attack up chaos boon, but also I only have Nemesis up to level 2 for 19% crit. Regardless when I did crit with everything up (bloodstone in the enemy + privileged status) it was hitting for around 1200 damage.

My build was just a bunch of random garbage I had picked up because I hadn't yet realized how to rig the RNG in my favor, plus I only had like 1 death defiance at most. I was fully expecting to get killed, so I was ecstatic when Hades stepped aside and let me through without a fight.
