I was having a decent enough time with the Captain America shield. Useful directional block, passable melee attack, situationally good throw. Then I unlocked the Rail.

Got my first full clear with, to my surprise, sword rather than rail (or shield). Very synergistic athena-ares pile, with a buncha Dash Attack and Attack buffs from Master Chaos. still got down to 25hp on my last life against the final boss before getting full stacks on the Zeus Button to finish the job

to my surprise, I got my first win with the sword, not my trusty rail, on a run where I picked some stuff to unlock prophecy but wound up getting some Very Good chaos boon synergy and settling into an Ares-Athena pile I'm sure pulling deflect-on-dash helped, that's imo the single best of the deflect options unless you're running, like, infinite-ammo Rail. Still had 25hp left on my last life when I hit the Zeus Button to win.

thewizardofshoe posted:Just did a run where I got Hunter's Dash(+100% dash damage) from Artemis in the entrance room, then never got offered an actual damaging Dash boon again for the rest of the run. That'll teach me to have faith in RNG in my favor. hunter's dash is a dash boon, it takes the slot iirc (i believe it buffs dash attack)

Game is noticeably but not overwhelmingly harder due to the tweaks. Grandma is very cool  and the new spear seems interesting when I finally get the bloods for it.And pops has instituted his most evil, vicious oppression yet: a fishing minigame.

I'm starting to really hate this game. none of it is unavoidable the Bad Things you're probably referencing are a circle of murder produced by him or skulls that tick down (dodge through it), the pots (hit them from range or avoid them), or him beaning you in the face with a thrown skull (uh, don't stand near him after he's cooled down from an attack, then dodge it / Always Be Dodging)

Pierson posted:Can anyone recommend good gods/hammer choices for the sword on low heat? I've had a few bad runs/bad choices and it isn't really doing much for me right now. I'm a gigantic fan of hold button to spam attack hammer options on any weapon that offers it and sword is no exception. Making it fire a wave or have a better dash attack are also good, armor destruction is fine but doesn't do an awful lot on the final boss.

Sword hidden aspect sucks imo its big thing is dropping a stationary damage resist area when you want to be dashing everywhere and I'm not convinced dash attacks with it work correctly oh well, made it to the surface and I never have to touch that garbage again

No Wave posted:Use it vs skelly and compare the damage to other weapons. The dash is different - you can dash in between slashes but you can't cancel them as effectively. The idea of the weapon is you really want to get your third slash off because it does absolutely ridiculous DPS - it deals 10 times as much damage as a normal sword hit. huh, it's possible i dash too much to get the third slash lol

well why not posted:I'm yet to get a clear with the sword, shield or fists. What are the recommended go-tos for the close range set of weapons? Poseidon / Dio everything? another example of "everyone has different weapons they like" because the fists are my favorite weapon lol any god that gives an attack boon that benefits from rapid strikes owns for fists, you can get a clear with Poseidon Sword by just going Maximum Cast, for which Artemis is a good pick if you feel lazy enough a clear with shield is trivial because you can totally no-sell any attacks from the direction you're pointing when charging up bull rush, or if you have my sort of playstyle it benefits from dash attacks

fool of sound posted:four of the companions are pretty solid (meg, than, skelly, bouldy), but i find that I have to remind myself to actually use all my casts in any given run. I guess Dusa is usable if you're running a lot of options that make elites nasty. i just can't even think of a situation where i would prefer achilles. maybe in a theoretical game where i have to fight the heroes five times in a row or something. They added a little notification at some point saying "remember you have this button!" in some of the fights where you might expect to use them. also bouldy is easily my favorite because while it's a bit lighter on the damage, it's great healing and also gives you cash if you're running bouldy always 100% of the time buy the +1 use from charon wells, it's functionally 10g

raditts posted:Just a day later and I've gone from barely squeezing out a win to completely embarrassing Hades with every weapon, with three of the wins being in a row. The last one was with the bow, flurry attack with Artemis crits, and the upgrade that shoots two arrows at the same time. Just completely shredded him. There are, more or less, two endings. You'll know when you get to the first one, and it is sufficiently satisfying. I want to say ten?
