The trick for Demeter is get her organically and get Crystal Beam then Glacial Glare. That gets you to 10 stacks rather quickly. Equip her keepsake for Asphodel. Get her call and killing freeze. I’ve been getting Demeter and Artemis lately for Crystal Clarity. Hades doesn’t stand a chance and skips sequences. I just look up and BAM! Ten beams.
Something else about Double Strike is that it seems to override the cooldown on lightning bolts triggering, making Thunder Flourish on Chiron a lot more feasible
Watching this for the 2nd time, while playing on my new save. I am on my first run with the rail, and my god is Zeus attack rail so much fun. I think it might be my favorite weapon/boon combo.
Jp idk if you’ll ever read this but I jus wanted to let u know I finally finished up maxing out 25 heat on all weapons & unveiled that last skelly statue 🙄. Took a long hiatus from hades but fell back into it recently & ur vids always helped & kept me motivated! Next goal is to get comfortable w em4 cuz I’m Currently only comfortable w em3. & maxing out the rank from resource director & buying out everything from contractor so I can finally “100%” this god forsaken game
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad my videos give you some motivation! Sometimes that's really what we need. I still enjoy the game even after nearly a thousand hours because the gameplay is so fun!
Hades keepsake has 1 really cool usage, which is triggering the Zeus Boon that gives you a damage boost for 15s after using a call. Since it only has two bars it fills up quickly. I used it for that and it was fun to just melt enemies with it while being invulnerable. Combinw with the aid boosters (Poseidons boon that increases after taking damage, Artemis increasing after crits, or Hermes auto generate) But B-tier is fair. It's best for low heat runs where you don't need Skelly Tooth
Man Empty Inside (longer weak duration) can be really good, especially if you apply weak through dash. Pair that with the boon that increases the damage reduction, you can have every enemy on screen dealing FORTY OR FIFTY percent less damage the whole game. Even 30 percent less damage through the whole game is huge. The extra time gained from Empty Inside makes it so that you don't have to frantically reapply weak to enemies. Just by dashing around, the enemies will get Weak and stay Weak long enough for you to naturally get them Weak again. Can be a complete game changer for those who struggle with avoiding hits and can even help speed runners attack more aggressively.
I'd love to run this with Arthur sword, that further reduce damage of 40%. If you add other damage reducing boons like positive outlook for exemple and add an after party you become insanely hard to kill.
Wait Hades can summon Cerberus? Damn, i though i had seen enough to avoid spoils. I guess i was wrong. I guess i'll have to crank up that punishment pact to see it.
Clean kill and heart rend does a similar job indeed. But I believe heart rend is really I don't believe it is meant for the player to choose between the two. I think the idear is that heart rend will amplify your clean kill, it's better to take both because they scale with each other.
Definitely not, but the numbers are a bit deceiving. Plus one of them is a duo boon and the other is a secondary boon. Just seems a bit odd to me sometimes 😄
Thunder Flourish, the one and only boon used to beat Heat 64 belongs to Tier B? Okay, if you say so... The other boons in the Heat 64 clear could be argued that they got forced to the players thanks to AP2, but Thunder Flourish is specifically grinded to clear the Hear 64 run.
Just because it beat 64 heat once doesn't make it a great boon. It was done only once, and after many attempts by many people, and on a specific weapon and aspect. also, you're focusing on just ONE successful run and ignoring all the failed runs. Your logic is completely flawed.
@@jackjack942 It was done only once 6 months ago, but another person had done it with unseeded/unmodded with Thunder Flourish again. Please youtube search "HADES 64 HEAT (by 摆子哥) UNSEEDED UNMODDED". I fail to see how my logic is flawed.
What a useless video. None of the boons are any good to you if you don't get them. Heard of RNG ? The boon you want might never show up because of the random chances in roguelikes such as Hades.
This wasn't just about Boons. This was a historic event.
Haha! Glad you feel that way Cody :)
Not only is this a nice overview when I need a good refresher. We had a adorable dad Paul moment

It's VERY nice when you find that many beams! :)

Indeed!

I look at everything Boon through the lens of Pierced Butterfly. If it doesn't help me no-hit a room- I don't want it lololol
Haha! That's a good plan actually 😋

Poseidon’s aid is absolutely chef’s kiss certified fun tier
Would love to see this all on an interactive site somewhere for viewing

Cheers! Great thoughts
Crystal beam is so crazy. Literally just watching it shred through boss HP bars is so satisfying
It does do that single target damage alright!
@@JawlessPaul lol. I now watched enough videos to realize that I literally did the meme.

It's a nice damage reduction. Adding a few seconds certainly can help!
@@JawlessPaul I usually take Empty Inside if I’m on a Hangover build, as I then have to worry less about re-applying Weak to keep Low Tolerance going

Haha, yeah, there is a lot to explore in this game!
Holy that’s so many boons 😭
Too many boons! 🤣
Demeter Aid is S TIER!!I love it!
It does make a swirly circle! 🤣
Heroic boiling point with Hades Call after starting with Persephone’s boon is a great way to start your CALL build
What is Persephone's boon? Also... managing to get heroic boiling point sounds... challenging.
I’m sorry, Persephone keepsake, not boon
Looks like he ranked each single froot loop from the box
Now THERE is a solid video idea! 😂

that lunch reminder
Excited for this
Hope it was informative and helpful! :)
Justice for my fish
haha!
freezing vortex makes me angry
Agreed!
Lol this length is funny, although I don't know if I'm ever gonna finish the video
Haha, I don't blame you! I was there and it was long for me!

It's quite good for that build, no question, but in other applications it isn't the best. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course :)
