Poseidon is so good. Goes well with the staff, the knives, and the torches. Get enough of his boons and you get extra 100 health. No wonder he is the favourite uncle.
It's not the absolute best, but Poseidon also goes with the skull because the skull are busted even boonless but lacks AoE unless you can really spam the omega special so it doesn't matter that it doesn't increase the single target dps as much.
Splash dash was arguably the best dash maybe tied with Athena dash. I liked his call but idk if it was actually good. Cast with his secondary boons seemed pretty good. (The ones that damage enemies when they hit walls and barriers).
@@edm8468splash dash is definitely not tied with athena that shits S++ and poseidons is maybe A lol same with the rest of his shit. These replies acting like poseidon was an s tier god he had good builds but nothing INSANE what 😂 to act like he didnt get a boost in 2 is….well. 🤡
I'm fairly certain silver streak is bugged. After a bunch of testing, I think what's going on is if you leave a chamber with the buff active, the game fails to remove the damage buff, so it just continues to stack more and more as the run progresses. When you use it, you'll notice it starts off almost unnoticeable but by the end of the run your omega damage just goes insane. And it only affects your omega damage. I've had my zeus omega cast bolts hitting for close to 400 damage per tick with it. I first noticed this a little over a week ago and I reported it a couple times in game but it hasn't been fixed yet. I have a couple videos showing it also, but since you're easily the biggest Hades content creator I think it'd be entertaining to see you test this further. It'd certainly bring more awareness than me posting uncommentated OBS recordings into the void lol.
Oh, THAT'S why I deleted Chronos on that one run, ok. It all makes sense now. Epic silver streak had axe spins doing moronic amounts of damage with a common attack...
Yeah poseidon boon is just so nuts for the Pan special. 50 splash damage x 27 knives before applying any other modifiers. So insane. Aphrodite special is comparable if not better as well.
This aspect can get absolutely broken. I had level 5 Pan, hook knives, the hammer that gives you +16 omega special shots, and a level 7 heroic Poseidon special; Chronos 2nd phase died in 3 shots. People who said Melinoe was weaker than Zag and that the boss health pools were too large didn't play long enough.
Ngl, I don’t even think it’s boss health pools, I just think that obnoxious serpent miniboss in zone 2 has like a bazillion armor, and it feels *awful* the first several times you fight it
@@zacharyenglish2904Neat trick I've learned from yt is that when his big projectile splits for the first time (in the three parts) you can dash to a middle point between them and it's a guaranteed blind spot of the entire attack
I think the issue is that the difference between insane OP combo and a bad or mediocre build feels bigger in this game, but as others have rightly pointed out that might be because almost all Hades 1 players are used to having their keepsakes, mirrors, and aspects maxed out
I once got Aphro's heroic special boon plus Apollo's legendary boon (which makes your omega attack and omega special hit twice) on pan and it was pure insanity 😂
Been speedrunning with this build, it’s soooooo good. If you get Boundless and Hook Knives, maybe even Pos legendary, you just insta kill every Cronos phase. Spiral hammer also works really well with either of the other 2. So much damage.
Dude who complained about pausing was right though. It accomplishes nothing to have the timer run after combat ends and I'm surprised they kept it in for Hades 2.
Well... technically it matters if there are gold urns in the chamber but yes, I agree, the timer should really be combat only. Maybe cut Tight Deadline by like 15-30 seconds to compensate.
I cannot fathom how we don't have yet an edit of Dio throwing knifes with Melinoe's face, at Jotaro, with Chronos face. Because that is how it feels to use Pan Aspect.
So Haelian just a heads up if you haven't encountered yet, but dancing knives would've ruined your run. Taking flurry was 100% the correct decision there. Dancing knives is bugged with hookshot because when it hits an enemy instead of coming back some of them just immediately bounce and cancel the hookshot aspect. It reduces your damage a ton and makes your special very buggy! Im not sure if they fixed that yet but i doubt it.
I unlocked and tried an aspect of pan build the other day and was BAFFLED by how well it worked it’s definitely my best build so far and glad to see I’m not the only one. 😂
The problem with mana consumption is that it doesnt synergizes at all with the moon ults, after all they all focus on total consumption that reducing the consumption is detrimental to the moon ults, so a nice change would be uses instead of mana consumed or mana % instead of a flat number
I think I'd like it a lot more if it just didn't take up a boon reward. And the fact you can get it at the start of a run, even if you literally can't use it cause you don't have magic regen, just feels awful. I do like Haelian's idea of having Selene be rewarded automatically at the end of boss chambers, and as minor rewards in the Fields. They could have her be a cauldron upgrade, where you can unlock her appearing at the end of each zone like you already do with fountains.
I think Poseidon waves are well liked because they're aoe damage which also extends your special's range. You're also likely to get slip which is a curse. But yeah, there are gods who give more raw damage
Did something similar 260k with the circle throw and bouncing knives. Think i had increased channeling and I remember somehow getting it to cost 50 mana with apollo they would go really far
I personnaly tried this build, and i felt like dealing more damage with aphrodite's special and i managed to hit like a 7k damage in 1 hit. have you given it a try ?
Would it be viable to keep starting runs looking for a specific boon, and if you get it on the opening room and then die immediately, you could potentially ensure that you get it from Echo on your next run?
Hey I'm new to this channel so please bare with me :D Why do you pause the game so often? Is it to stop some timer and think about which room to take? That would be my guess. :O Anybody knows?:)
Kinda curious but in the beginning why go hook knives over spiral? I always find myself leaning towards spiral over hooks just curious if there’s a solid reason why one is better than the other
I don't Think So.... Supposedly it took 3 Attempts to Get this Combination to Work Properly.

And having Lottery Like Combinations encourages players to play the Gamer Longer... TLDR: It's Basic Skinner Box Design.
i had a run with aphrodite special, back stab dagger, hammer that make it go circle around you everywere + the one that make them come back the shoot gun dmg i did to cerbrerus i procked a 7000 on him it was crazy (first run where won on chronos btw)
Could you help me with a tips for 32fear, I really like the game but not achieving it even with this build is frustrating me a lot... to the point of not even wanting to play it anymore.
Yo man I got this crazy build I've came up with. Aspect of Mel staff Hesita attack Hera sprint Hesita cast Apollo boons to buff cast Hammers that buff omega attack So the idea if you apply the burn, and with the hitch, the burn is applied to everything and it does a whole bunch of damage. I highly recommend it
if you have any boons or arcana cards that give you an effect when you are below/above a certain health threshold, that threshold will be marked with the dotted line. In this case the line is for the arcana card that heals you every room. If you’re below 30%, the healing is doubled, so it’s marked
I feel like something with Aspect of Pan or Silver Streak is bugged because it shouldn’t be possible for you to get these phat damage stacks. It’s just straight up cheating. Well, I’d better beat Gramps with this before it gets patched. Thanks for these vids. I’d be struggling so hard figuring this stuff out on my own.
Depends on your Definition of "Beat" .... There's only 4 Zones and a Full Run is 35 Minutes on Average so it's not that hard to Beat ... But doing that doesn't make the Credits Roll.... Which is what I believe is the True End of the Game. 👀
@lookalike4805 Oh, ok. I just heard you gotta beat it 10 times for most of the story stuff. Personally, I'd like to get the credits to roll. I heard max heat is like insanely difficult, so I kinda wanna try to beat it.
@@PenanceisNigh you don't need to do max heat to get the credits to roll and max heat is like...virtually impossible to do. So far, only 1 person has been confirmed able to do it unseeded (and I think you can count the number of people who've done it seeded on one hand). but there is some post-credit things and side missions that you can also complete even after credits roll
just OP. apsect of pan is just...silly ..had like 60 daggers flying out - 1 tapping everything. the game feels off. the hitboxes are weird. tons of times ive died and i cant see why. you take dmg before the animation even starts from some enemies. you will recieve dmg even thoe you are 2 meters from the damage source.

I was wondering why I was doing over 1k damage with the staff's omega attack one run, and sure enough I had Silver Streak. This has to be it.
The pauses are half the reason I watch the content LUL Its nice hearing you reason things out.
ah yes, backstab knifes with poseidon, the ol reliable
I feel like momus is so safe, but man... a good run, with a smidge of RNG on Pan is just stupid.
I was clipping Chronos attack animations on 32 heat, resulting in him just freezing
Yeah poseidon boon is just so nuts for the Pan special. 50 splash damage x 27 knives before applying any other modifiers. So insane. Aphrodite special is comparable if not better as well.
For my money Momus is the best in the game, arguably way too op. However stuff like Pan has higher highs for sure
@@ciaranpatrick6859 Momus is just super easy to build, and really safe, my first 32 heat was Momus
Melinoe isn't locked in a room with cronos, cronos is locked in a room with melinoe

So, in other words, the stars aligned, and you had a very specific broken build.
I once got Aphro's heroic special boon plus Apollo's legendary boon (which makes your omega attack and omega special hit twice) on pan and it was pure insanity 😂
Been speedrunning with this build, it’s soooooo good. If you get Boundless and Hook Knives, maybe even Pos legendary, you just insta kill every Cronos phase. Spiral hammer also works really well with either of the other 2. So much damage.
the aspects are crazy this game
and considering that hades had 4 aspects per weapon, we most likely have more coming 👁🫦👁
lmao at the guy who doesn't like the pauses 😂😂😂
I wonder if Supergiant Likes It 🤔
Dude thats Chronos alt acc...
Dude who complained about pausing was right though. It accomplishes nothing to have the timer run after combat ends and I'm surprised they kept it in for Hades 2.
Absolutely
Well... technically it matters if there are gold urns in the chamber but yes, I agree, the timer should really be combat only. Maybe cut Tight Deadline by like 15-30 seconds to compensate.
it doesn't work in the Fields of Mourning, probably the sole reason they won't change it
But if you complain about it somewhere, the fanboys will eat you alive
The Real Question is.... What are Supergiant Going to Do About it ?
I guess that Depends on how many People are Abusing this Feature. 🤔
I cannot fathom how we don't have yet an edit of Dio throwing knifes with Melinoe's face, at Jotaro, with Chronos face. Because that is how it feels to use Pan Aspect.

In a speed run you can't pass up shops since they stop the timer, even for a god you want.
Weird, I could have sworn I subscribed to your channel before but saw the button unpressed. Anyway, glad to see you runs again.

@@MDoorpsy I'd like to see a few runs around the Hexes, for supposed occasional utility, they require a lot of investment to provide a proper return.
Judging by the final screen, Poseidon waves seem equivalent to ~50% bonus damage. Are we all sure other boons can't beat 50% bonus special damage?
I think Poseidon waves are well liked because they're aoe damage which also extends your special's range. You're also likely to get slip which is a curse. But yeah, there are gods who give more raw damage

Good Old Fashioned Glass Cannon Build 👍
Would it be viable to keep starting runs looking for a specific boon, and if you get it on the opening room and then die immediately, you could potentially ensure that you get it from Echo on your next run?
is there a reason why Ω cast isnt used at all? too slow/vulnerable for not enough reward?
It has no Synergy with the Aspect of Pan.
thanks for the arcana setup :D
What is the "Nemesis" line on the "damage inflicted - is that for the damage she dealt when she showed up for a competition? Incredible build, also.
so poseidon special is better than aprho on pan knifes?
The damage in this run was disgustingly high!

I’ve always done Aphrodite for the special, is the splash better than the up close dmg buff?
