Yeah, wow. That was so well done. So clear. Love the visualizations of the 4 gods to pick, love the "approved" highlight, loved the whole boss fight, and loved going over each boon after. Keep this up!
@@DJMARTYL Me personally I like to try out all the weapons, so if I were you: (1) unlock all the weapon aspects first; and then (2) start maxing out in the order of your preference.
This video is so well done dude ! Straight to the point and the final battle for each of the aspect with Hades was really nice to see the potential of the OP build. Kudos for the visual editing also !
First guide - I liked it. This one is quality work. You surely earned sub with your hard work. It's clear, you can see each part of video should you want to jump, music is not overbearing, sound quality is great, and you put practical examples and end of each. You're well over 1k now, keep up hard work man! :)
the system of building your character everytime and not being able to get the one you want everytime makes getting the one you want so much better and makes this game really great
I just was going into a hades rabbit whole and found your channel, not even five minutes and I'm just appalled at how work you put into this, the editing is great and these clips and explanations are so well done. Keep up the great work man!!!!👍👍👍
Sleet here! Thank you all for visiting this channel and hope you found these videos informative and entertaining. I also have two requests: (1) If you would like to see particular content in the future, please leave feedback in the comments! I read every single comment and would appreciate yours! (2) I'm running up against my deadline to hit 1000 subscribers to become monetized. It takes a lot of effort to make guides like this, so I would really appreciate your support with your subscription!
Hey man just a small nit pick, a bunch of other creators/speedrunners that i have watched have said that purging a boon from a god at the pool of purging doesn't remove them from the god pool as you state near the beginning of the video, other wise great video will be trying out a couple of these builds.
Poseidon sword + scintillating feast + ice wine...was probably the most “broken” build I ever stumbled upon. I would just walk into a room, cast twice, and everything was instantly dead.
Meh; it's just trippy shot doing all the work and it doesn't have a huge synergy with the sword as the cast crystal don't get stuck so the special is not longer doing anything special. if you want to be carried by trippy shot, beowulf shield or hera bow are way better.
Recently I'm in love with Hades and with this video. I have already tried Beowulf build (actualy managed to get both Demeter and Artemis duos and it was insane) and the Achilles laser build and they were both awesome. Usually I don't randomly subscribe to people but you've deffeniatelty deserved it:)
Same here, I’m actually going to subscribe simply due to the interaction with his commenters. Of course the video was also SSS but I didn’t watch it all cuz I got to the part I wanted. (Ice lazzzers lol) but it’s the interaction with the community that got the sub for me.
One build I never see is ZEUS'S SUPER SOAKER build. It uses the aspect of LUCIFER RAIL with the INFINITE AMMO hammer upgrade. Zeus and Poseidon are going to be your main boons. Use Poseidon's flood shot for primary and thunder flourish or cast, that way you can get SEA STORM. Then you want to make sure you get STATIC DISCHARGE and RUPTURE for instant double curses. Then to top it all off you want BREAKING WAVE. This literally gives you an eraser gun lol. It completely melts bosses and if any enemies some how aren't dead by the time their pushed into a wall, breaking wave will just obliterate them Then if your lucky enough, you can throw SECOND WAVE and SPLITTING BOLT (along with anything else you wanna pack in there along the way). And personally I prefer to have TIDAL DASH for instakills in the temple of Styx. A difficult build to pull off but once you got it it immediately becomes your favorite build. Practically puts the game on easy mode. Lol
These are great and original builds, thank you for sharing these. Thanks also for showing them against Hades rather than just clearing the easy trash mobs. Subscribed! :)
This game was scaling on difficulty very weird for me :D I got first boss too soon and killed her on second try. Then hydra boss on first time I saw it, even I had no clue what it will be doing :D then after few more escape attempts, I started dying pretty often on first boss (all that changes :D ) + few times on hydra too :D :D On attempt 30. I was first time on last boss and got him into second phase. Now I have 40 attempts and last boss every run end with 1-5% hp...

@@sleet_gaming The most insane gun build is Lucifer with Poseidon Attack + Sea Storm (Zeus Duo) + Razor Shoals + Static Discharge. It's instant Privileged Status and if you get the infinite ammo hammer it becomes just "Hold Attack to fire insane death beam and win". Pair it with Athena's dash so you won't get hurt.
Dude.... I have been playing this game for weeks, grinding and learning the mechanics on my own for personal satisfaction but damn it's hard. I made it to Hades and kept losing without a guide but after I saw your first build with the fists...omg...super EZ!!!!! Thanks so much for the info!
Today I made it to hades boss second phase,as in died and restored himself to full health and then got him to half health again but I was out of death defiance by then and while I had good boons and health galore,I died,but I love that I got so far
@@sleet_gaming yes, my wife and I have been enjoying your hades tips! along with your fallguys video! Her and I also plan on creating content in the near future after our baby is born, "Artemis" is actually going to be her name!
After 50+ runs thought I'd seen most of what this game has to offer. But you're showing me stuff I've never even see in game. Looking forward to playing further. Outstanding game and a great video. Thanks man.
Stellar video. The narration, editing, knowledge and overall esthetic are all SSS. But it’s the community interaction that got me. Your sub is here my liege. May your channel bring you great happiness in whichever manner you’d hope.
Thanks, man! Hope to put out good quality videos in the future. (Unfortunately still waiting on my computer gear to arrive to my new overseas location 😅)
Aspect of Hera and Ares cast is fun. Get Hunting blades(duo with artemis), Ares legendary and Mirage shot(posdien and Artemis). Also get as much casts as possible.
Two other important boons for beowulf build is double strike for the zeus dio duo and on top of that get pressure points so you constantly crit with the lightning strikes, btw I have gotten the FULL beowulf build with the 2 legendaries and the 2 duos also with 8 bloodstones
I think the single most important duo boon for Beowulf is Mirage Shot. My favorite variant of the build is Poseidon cast with Artemis, Zeus, and Aphrodite (the last god spot is flexible iirc). It’s so insane especially if you get lucky with chaos/Hermes
Thank you for the nice video :) I will try these builds for sure, especially the rama dio build. Right now my go to build is rama with zeus special with double strike
Thank you so much. I only started playing Hades so now I'm investigating different builds. Fantasticly information video. Well done! 🔥👊 *liked&subscribed
you should make an expert build guide I love how you go through each the weapons! Like I said on the previous vids you definetly make the best Hades content I hate watching streamers post their runs I just want to know which boons/duo boons to get for the build! thanks bro SUBBED!
I appreciate your sub! Haha, I'm not sure what an "expert" build guide would look like, but I do want to put out a more advanced guide for high heat and speedrunning at some point.
@@sleet_gaming would be really liked to see a video on at least one: shields of Zeus or Chaos and rail of Ares or Lucifer. See what is interesting for you. Really nice how you present a build in details and don't take a lot of time.
I found a good cast built for the adamint rail. It's primarily focused on the crystal bean from Demeter and support fire from Artemis and the duo boon crystal clarity you get from them
@@sleet_gaming Hera with Coronacht. Poseidon attack and cast damage, twin shot on the attack and aim to get his legendary and sea storm with Zeus. Never gets old hitting an enemy and watching them bounce around the room before dying and Wave Pounding also shreds the bosses towards the end.
All these builds are sick. Thank you. Me? I like the reliability of my beloved aspect of Chiron. You just need 1 boon to strengthen your special (heck, you can use Shattered Shackle - worst case scenario) and you can always win the game pretty easily, regardless of any missing combo pieces.
You could also pull off the Rama build with Chiron, and a single special can max out your hangover stacks, however with rama you don't need to attack first, so they're both good
Awesome video, thanks bro! Surprised you didn’t mention mirage shot for the Beowulf build though. It’s absolutely insane. Supposedly the second cast from mirage shot is bugged on beowulf and does 100% damage instead of the stated 30%. Personally I like the Poseidon cast beo build most by far, you can get some *insane* damage + status effects by running Poseidon/Artemis/Zeus/Aphrodite The Stygian variant of the beam build has a much greater upside imo. You can use poms to increase the duration of your cast dramatically, so as long as you get some more cast stones through chaos, Hermes, or Artemis then you’ll be good to go. It’s possible to have an insane amount of turrets out this way with 10s+ duration
The trippy flare build you recommend is sub-optimal. You'd be much better off going with posideon for your dash and Artemis for your attack. Aim to get mirage shot duo between those two as the secondary shot is actually at full power instead of 30% when using Beowulf. Effectively doubling your damage output. And also if you spec into Artemis you can get her legendary which gives you two extra casts. (As you mentioned) It's much more effective than trying to go for ice wine and/or scintillating feast. Also Ice wine creates a strange deay after you cast it that can actually mess you up and let enemies dodge the cast where they otherwise couldn't. So my recommendation for which gods to chose would be to replace demeter with posideon and go for mirage shot and fully loaded. And scintillating feast if you can. It's much better than the build you proposed.
With the shield, I recently stumbled on a great build. Get doom on your special, get all the doom upgrades, also got a hammer that increases special speed and I basically just melted the entire room. I also got vengeful mood in that run later on, completely unnecessary but it applied constant electric and doom damage
These are some cool builds. I just started playing the game a few days ago and I'm just trying to wrap my head around the number of different things you can put into the builds. Only question I have is how do you ensure that you get the right Gods coming in with their boons or is it mostly down to luck?
Honestly one of my favourite builds is Rama with Artemis attack and Aphrodite special. Get heart rend and any other crit amping boons. The crit damage is beautiful
The fists are fun as heck, even though I lost my second battle with hades, I Hhad a powerful build going for me with demeter's chill on my attacks, and aphro's weaken on my uppercut, alongside with several other boons, such as one that made them commons but upgraded their rarity over time, and one that even made me do more damage with weaken applied. Safe to say, this game if you have good rn can give you pretty nutty stuff. I even had the spear with art's crit as well as it with being able to apply weaken and hit multiple targets
you can try adamant rail hestia aspect with zeus special and attack with triple bomb and rocket bomb for hammers . Add in hermes boons for faster atk and special . While special reloads fire a single shot of your atk.
I only started playing this game. After unlocking Chiron bow I had a lot of success with Dionysus Special paired with Demeter Attack. Everything else was just gravy after that, easiest runs so far.
Aspect of Rama + Zeus Thunder strike per special hit + Zeus chance to double strike thunder + more special hits Hammer upgrade also worked great for me
Your videos are solid & I appreciate your breakdown of the builds. I do wonder if high confidence is worth taking due to how little healing the game has as well as how easy getting below 80% is.
Hey! I have issues with taking damage consistently, so "High Confidence" doesn't work in my favour. However, in regards to keeping higher health levels, replacing "Cthonic Vitality" with "Dark Regeneration" as a mirror Talent has worked absolute wonders for me at its max rank, with 60% of Darkness values restoring HP (say, for instance, you pick up 100 Darkness. Your HP will be restored by 60 points). While this doesn't assist in Styx, it can allow you to maintain a decent threshold of HP if you utilise Infernal Troves (these are a must if you place high importance of hoarding your Death Defiances until the final region/boss). I'm not sure if this is very helpful for you, but I have been trying to diversify the capabilities of my play style, and having never paid much attention to the initial "structuring" (or lack thereof) of my run attempts, trying to cultivate custom personal builds has benefitted me so much more as I have become much more skilled as a player. Let me know if you have found a good solution!
I started Hades 2 Weeks ago... I love this game.. Found some crazy builds myself Chaos Shield.. Weak Boon for Special.. Shield Explosion by Catching.. And the Boon from Artemis that deals dmg by dropping the Throw Stone...gave me a record run of 19:58 Ingame Time
@@sleet_gaming I've now escaped with every weapon! I tried to do the super soaker build with the rail gun, but can't seem to get the right hammer upgrade for it.
Achilles Ice Wine cast is the strongest cast build in the game. It is very easy to push each individual cast to over 1k damage. With a little luck, you will be doing 4k damage every 3 seconds.
for those who are thinking the second build wasn't that great let me clarify it works amazingly against multiple enemies, since the aspect inflicts 60% shared damage to ALL marked enemies, this means that applying hangover to enemies it's gonna do dmg to EVERYBODY. enemies will die and you don't even notice, you don't even need boons, just hangover on special and easy game, easiest run in my life until now (and i had the aspect at 35%) For the Crystal Beam meme build i recommend trying to get poseidon duo boon too, it fires a second shot that deals 30% dmg, really useful Try to get the Demetra boon that makes your cast last longer (upgrade the shit out of it, it can make your cast last 10+ seconds) and try go get hermes to give you the "your cast regenerates faster" boon, with stygian soul and an extra shard you'll see the damage skyrocket Also if you go into a chaos gate, start an extra shard mission, buy a "assure a chaos gate in the next room if possible", you can get that same extra shard mission again (it happened to me a few days ago), otherwise i think it is limited to 1 per run but i'm not 100% sure
Nice vid, especially showing the full Hades battle is a nice touch! I wanted to ask if the Dionysus build can be used to the same effect with the aspect of Chiron maxed out? Chiron has more special damage than Rama, so....
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! IMO I think the Dionysus build works better on Rama because: (1) Rama special hits multiple enemies; (2) Dionysus is purely on-hit, so Chiron's higher special dmg doesn't contribute much; (3) Rama special is faster than Chiron, and doesn't need to land an attack first; and (4) Dionysus stacks max at 5 (or 8 with the duo boon), so Chiron provides less marginal benefit. But if we're just talking about single-target bosses, it's possible that Chiron may have a slight edge on Rama in terms of DPS. 👍
Not as broken, but if you're newer and struggling a lot with the hades fight, get the Merciful End combo on the shield, any aspect, though zag works best, and then you can hold your bull rush to block all of hades' attacks then go in for the damage when hes finished his particularly powerful attacks
The best build I've ended up with would probably be the Aspect of Chaos shield with Poseidon Zeus & Demeter boons. Poseidon attack bull rush Zeus special with Zeus duo boon, Zeus legendary then Demeter Poseidon duo boon on the cast with Hermes legendary
Hello! Hmm, the problem with that is you won't be able to get Merciful End since you must have Athena on the special as a prerequisite. However, you can certainly get Aphrodite on the dash or cast and chase for Curse of Longing. 😎
@@sleet_gaming nono after getting the duo boon for merciful end i swap them around. Its possible to first get the duoboon + athena dash and then swap athena special with aphro special because merciful end still procs without the special.
Hades : takes 9K damage in 1 attack
Hades : Stupid Boy, you are weak

All these builds are sick. Thank you.
Me? I like the reliability of my beloved aspect of Chiron. You just need 1 boon to strengthen your special (heck, you can use Shattered Shackle - worst case scenario) and you can always win the game pretty easily, regardless of any missing combo pieces.
Just beat my fastest time with the first build. Great video!
music do be chill doe, thanks for the builds
Holy shit! I gotta try these out and check to see if I'm almost unstoppable!
Excellent breakdown. Subbed!
Thank you!!
Chiron bow low tolerance has been my favorite so far. I just started and that combo one me the game no problem
Very helpful, thank you ^^ Can't wait to try those out
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Hope you enjoy these builds as much as I did!
My favorite build is probably poseidon blade with aphro cast and exit wounds. It's close range, but very high damage.
You daredevil! Haha that build does sound fun. Aphrodite cast is underrated.
oh my god the crush shot one is so satisfying
Oh yes, I love one-shotting enemies, and that's one of the best builds to do it with 👍👍
Honorable mention: Aspect of Hestia with Cluster Bombs and Rocket Bomb topped off with deadly flourish
Brother, that's one of my favorite builds! Definitely second this suggestion. It's hard to beat the Rocket + Cluster Bomb combo in terms of DPS.
Why would you do aspect of hestia with the rockets, it’s focused on the attack. Eris rail is the aspect for that.
Agreed!
@@Coran_06 to be fair, any rail is op with rocker and cluster bomb
You could also pull off the Rama build with Chiron, and a single special can max out your hangover stacks, however with rama you don't need to attack first, so they're both good
Awesome video, thanks bro! Surprised you didn’t mention mirage shot for the Beowulf build though. It’s absolutely insane. Supposedly the second cast from mirage shot is bugged on beowulf and does 100% damage instead of the stated 30%. Personally I like the Poseidon cast beo build most by far, you can get some *insane* damage + status effects by running Poseidon/Artemis/Zeus/Aphrodite
The Stygian variant of the beam build has a much greater upside imo. You can use poms to increase the duration of your cast dramatically, so as long as you get some more cast stones through chaos, Hermes, or Artemis then you’ll be good to go. It’s possible to have an insane amount of turrets out this way with 10s+ duration
The trippy flare build you recommend is sub-optimal. You'd be much better off going with posideon for your dash and Artemis for your attack. Aim to get mirage shot duo between those two as the secondary shot is actually at full power instead of 30% when using Beowulf. Effectively doubling your damage output. And also if you spec into Artemis you can get her legendary which gives you two extra casts. (As you mentioned) It's much more effective than trying to go for ice wine and/or scintillating feast. Also Ice wine creates a strange deay after you cast it that can actually mess you up and let enemies dodge the cast where they otherwise couldn't.
So my recommendation for which gods to chose would be to replace demeter with posideon and go for mirage shot and fully loaded. And scintillating feast if you can. It's much better than the build you proposed.
appreciate your input!
@@sleet_gaming thanks :)
Would love to see some Exagryph builds next!
Absolutely! Here are a few I already made:
(1) Eris - Rocket Cluster

(2) Hestia & Lucifer - Poseidon

(3) Hestia - General Build
ua-cam.com/video/OJlXXqzDDNg/v-deo.html
(4) Lucifer - Doom Laser Build
ua-cam.com/video/GPOc8BmU4JY/v-deo.html
Twin Fists and Stygian Blade are definitely my go to for quick run time, insane DPS and fast gameplay
Crush shot with Hera effortless ngl
Chiron aspect Works really well with Dyonisus as well
Another super fun build is the Lucifer Water gun. It's really just infinite chamber + sea storm. Tri-Beam really helps too.
Great minds think alike! Just put out a video about that one: ua-cam.com/video/gpt38CcjpZI/v-deo.html
Great video! Got a new subscriber here :)
Thanks and welcome! 😎
Hey 😊 keep the Good work ! Good job ! 👋 Subed !
Thanks for being my 300th subscriber! Made my day!
With the shield, I recently stumbled on a great build.
Get doom on your special, get all the doom upgrades, also got a hammer that increases special speed and I basically just melted the entire room.
I also got vengeful mood in that run later on, completely unnecessary but it applied constant electric and doom damage
These are some cool builds. I just started playing the game a few days ago and I'm just trying to wrap my head around the number of different things you can put into the builds. Only question I have is how do you ensure that you get the right Gods coming in with their boons or is it mostly down to luck?
Honestly one of my favourite builds is Rama with Artemis attack and Aphrodite special. Get heart rend and any other crit amping boons. The crit damage is beautiful
The fists are fun as heck, even though I lost my second battle with hades, I Hhad a powerful build going for me with demeter's chill on my attacks, and aphro's weaken on my uppercut, alongside with several other boons, such as one that made them commons but upgraded their rarity over time, and one that even made me do more damage with weaken applied.
Safe to say, this game if you have good rn can give you pretty nutty stuff. I even had the spear with art's crit as well as it with being able to apply weaken and hit multiple targets
Loved the video. Y'all have any favorite builds for maximizing Call damage/uptime?
you can try adamant rail hestia aspect with zeus special and attack with triple bomb and rocket bomb for hammers . Add in hermes boons for faster atk and special . While special reloads fire a single shot of your atk.
Great advice! Thanks for sharing!
For the Hera build, I would take Poseidon as the forth god, so you can get mirage shot and maybe sweet nectar
I can vouch for the Scintillating Feast and Ice Wine, it’s an incredible combo I accidentally stumbled into.
Ice Wine also turns Trippy Shot into an instant impact rather than a delayed one, which has some fun consequences!
@@joshuasmith6909 Haha yes, thanks for your endorsement 😁what a nutty combination!
Loved this video man new sub here hope you achieve that sub goal soon!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the encouragement and sub!
Woahhhhh. Thank you so much carried me threw a 34 heat
I only started playing this game. After unlocking Chiron bow I had a lot of success with Dionysus Special paired with Demeter Attack. Everything else was just gravy after that, easiest runs so far.
Nice! Dionysus Hangover stacking works decently well on a number of weapon aspects for sure.
Aspect of Rama + Zeus Thunder strike per special hit + Zeus chance to double strike thunder + more special hits Hammer upgrade also worked great for me
Your videos are solid & I appreciate your breakdown of the builds. I do wonder if high confidence is worth taking due to how little healing the game has as well as how easy getting below 80% is.
Hey! I have issues with taking damage consistently, so "High Confidence" doesn't work in my favour. However, in regards to keeping higher health levels, replacing "Cthonic Vitality" with "Dark Regeneration" as a mirror Talent has worked absolute wonders for me at its max rank, with 60% of Darkness values restoring HP (say, for instance, you pick up 100 Darkness. Your HP will be restored by 60 points). While this doesn't assist in Styx, it can allow you to maintain a decent threshold of HP if you utilise Infernal Troves (these are a must if you place high importance of hoarding your Death Defiances until the final region/boss). I'm not sure if this is very helpful for you, but I have been trying to diversify the capabilities of my play style, and having never paid much attention to the initial "structuring" (or lack thereof) of my run attempts, trying to cultivate custom personal builds has benefitted me so much more as I have become much more skilled as a player. Let me know if you have found a good solution!
I started Hades 2 Weeks ago... I love this game.. Found some crazy builds myself
Chaos Shield.. Weak Boon for Special.. Shield Explosion by Catching.. And the Boon from Artemis that deals dmg by dropping the Throw Stone...gave me a record run of 19:58 Ingame Time
Thank you so much! I got my first escape with Gilgamesh Twin Fists and second with Hera’s Heart Crush.
Congrats!! Hope you keep going and experimenting with more builds!
@@sleet_gaming I've now escaped with every weapon! I tried to do the super soaker build with the rail gun, but can't seem to get the right hammer upgrade for it.
Achilles Ice Wine cast is the strongest cast build in the game. It is very easy to push each individual cast to over 1k damage. With a little luck, you will be doing 4k damage every 3 seconds.
That build sounds fantastic! And Ice Wine removes the lob animation, making it more instantaneous, right?
for those who are thinking the second build wasn't that great let me clarify
it works amazingly against multiple enemies, since the aspect inflicts 60% shared damage to ALL marked enemies, this means that applying hangover to enemies it's gonna do dmg to EVERYBODY.
enemies will die and you don't even notice, you don't even need boons, just hangover on special and easy game, easiest run in my life until now (and i had the aspect at 35%)
For the Crystal Beam meme build i recommend trying to get poseidon duo boon too, it fires a second shot that deals 30% dmg, really useful
Try to get the Demetra boon that makes your cast last longer (upgrade the shit out of it, it can make your cast last 10+ seconds) and try go get hermes to give you the "your cast regenerates faster" boon, with stygian soul and an extra shard you'll see the damage skyrocket
Also if you go into a chaos gate, start an extra shard mission, buy a "assure a chaos gate in the next room if possible", you can get that same extra shard mission again (it happened to me a few days ago), otherwise i think it is limited to 1 per run but i'm not 100% sure
Nice vid, especially showing the full Hades battle is a nice touch! I wanted to ask if the Dionysus build can be used to the same effect with the aspect of Chiron maxed out? Chiron has more special damage than Rama, so....
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! IMO I think the Dionysus build works better on Rama because: (1) Rama special hits multiple enemies; (2) Dionysus is purely on-hit, so Chiron's higher special dmg doesn't contribute much; (3) Rama special is faster than Chiron, and doesn't need to land an attack first; and (4) Dionysus stacks max at 5 (or 8 with the duo boon), so Chiron provides less marginal benefit. But if we're just talking about single-target bosses, it's possible that Chiron may have a slight edge on Rama in terms of DPS. 👍
The hangover build works better with Chiron, imho. The weak into hangover comes way more naturally if you put weak on chiron's attack.
3 star Thanatos keepsake with a bunch of damage and crit boosts with Poseidon Bloodstones + Athena run shield is OP.
On sword and lancer.
Not as broken, but if you're newer and struggling a lot with the hades fight, get the Merciful End combo on the shield, any aspect, though zag works best, and then you can hold your bull rush to block all of hades' attacks then go in for the damage when hes finished his particularly powerful attacks
Great suggestion! Shield is definitely a great aspect for beginners.
New to Hades but I recently finished my first run with a Aspect of Chaos Doom Build with triple duo boons
Welcome to Hades, man, and that's a great build!
The best build I've ended up with would probably be the Aspect of Chaos shield with Poseidon Zeus & Demeter boons. Poseidon attack bull rush Zeus special with Zeus duo boon, Zeus legendary then Demeter Poseidon duo boon on the cast with Hermes legendary
With the mercy full end combo i like to swap in Aphros special for a chance to curse of longing.
Hello! Hmm, the problem with that is you won't be able to get Merciful End since you must have Athena on the special as a prerequisite. However, you can certainly get Aphrodite on the dash or cast and chase for Curse of Longing. 😎
@@sleet_gaming nono after getting the duo boon for merciful end i swap them around.
Its possible to first get the duoboon + athena dash and then swap athena special with aphro special because merciful end still procs without the special.
@@Stachelbeeerchen ahh that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying 👍
watched this video an hour ago and got both duo boons from demeter/dio and zeus/dio on that beowulf build lol
9:47 you can use aphro aid to stop the lasers
Good advice~ Aphrodite's aid is undervalued by most I think.
thanks for the info! will try these. side topic, what's the name of this background music with the piano? i liked it a lot
Thanks for taking the time to comment! You mean the song at the very beginning? That would be "Lude Illa" by Joe Bagale.
@@sleet_gaming the one used during the middle of your videos explaining the different builds with the piano/guitar/drums :o
@@esmorgenn Ah, that would be "Staycation" by Corbyn Kites. I'm really loving his music these days.
