Hades II

Yeah, I got one where it's on the side instead of the top.

She just likes being under things. Plus she loves living the cat stereotype that absolutely everything on a shelf or desk must be knocked down

Finally got my first kill. Absolutely melted him with casts.

[Starby]

Hell yeah man congrats. That was hard earned

The standout weapon for me is the daggers for sure with the next favorite being the axe, then the staff. Dual wands need serious rework (also so Mel doesn't look like a dummy while running with them) and I've not fucked with the skull gun too much. I'm hope the 6th is also something fast, akin the the fists in the first game.

My biggest issue with the maracas is they don't really cause hit stun. They're ok on guardian encounters where you're not relying on hit stun, but it makes trash a major hassle if you don't have a boon providing some form of crowd control.

Daggers are my favorite as well, by a wide margin.

Daggers > staff=skull > axe >>>>> Maracas

nice! that first kill i think is just really tough cause there's so much going on.

yo FUCK the maracas, precisely because of this

fwiw i only like the daggers when you get a big aoe thing to go with them lol. axe still is my favorite, all things considered. i also ended up really liking the skulls, but only with the aspect that basically turns you into doomfist from overwatch. feels really skilly/sick as you zoom around the map.

Patch 2 is out.

Doesn't look any new content, bug fixes and balance changes. Few aspects reworked and a bunch of hammer upgrades changed around

I think I'm hanging the game up for a while after something like 35 hours. It's still early enough in EA where when it comes out should still feel fresh. Don't want to get sick of it, even though I love it.

[kisada]

same

mostly cleared what i wanted to. got the 3 nights champion statues and beat trial of haste (lmao). haven't touched it since so I'll be happy to wait for full release to see the finished product

[Starby]

You got all 3 statues already? Wild. I got bodied on any 32 heat combos I tried.

And same sentiment here. At 70ish runs and that's enough even until launch

[kisada]

yeah i abused momus watergun build with some of the more tolerable fears. no mana/prime mana + zeus boons is a legit buff lmao.

both sides ended up being not too bad, but i had eris down to one shot left while i had like one hp, and she flew offscreen and killed me and i got really annoyed spending the next half hour until i finally got her bitch ass lol

honestly, by comparison the trial of haste felt completely unwinnable without maximum RNG, and i'm sure i could spend the next 20 runs doing it without beating it again.

[kisada]

looking at the results now, annoyingly i can't mouse over the vows, but looking over the screenshot it seems like i did these ones:

dmg+
enemy first hit dmg+
revenants
next zone mobs spawns
healing down
higher merchant costs
no mana/prime mana boons
one-time boon selection
first boons are onions
5 min region time

i highly doubt i could win any other way fwiw lol, momus abuse-included.

[Celeras]

Wish the patch notes specified what the cut boons actually did, because I definitely do not remember any of them by name alone lol

[Krandor]

i highly doubt i could win any other way fwiw lol, momus abuse-included.

And they just reworked/nerfed Momus so lol

[kisada]

gg lmao

[kisada]

btw, not that i would know how i'd approach it like some theory-crafter, but i think with a weapon that i wasn't doing unbelievable things with i'd have to shift the time vow to like 7m and try to learn to play via something else REALLY unpalatable like faster mobs. i tried that a few times and it was just so undoable for me i have a hard time imagining it now lol. but maybe......?

[Krandor]

You'd have to absolutely spam casts on every cool down to keep them under control

[kisada]

yeah lmao

basically i completely gave up on doing it because even with that it still seemed insane, plus i think mobs don't just zoom faster, they animate and hit faster? pretty sure, anyway, and with axe it fucks up the parry, if i remember right

plus zooming shriekers tilted me into oblivion
