Likely a coding issue that may be a bug or not honestly. Psychic turns your oattack into a single attack that lasts for a durations instead of it being a pulse that keeps attacking until you interrupt it by doing a different action
I remember people hating on natural selection at launch I always thought it was kinda sick Also Heph vfx were the best part of the update change my mind
I feel like Natural Selection works better when you just screw around and stumble into the god-tier boons it gives you rather than trying to build a very precise run around it. Trivia time! _Drakons_ are the original idea of dragons within Western civilization, but don't look that much like their later, more famous Medieval incarnations. Greece doesn't have any native dangerous lizards or crocodilians, nor even giant turtles, but it does have venomous snakes, especially vipers, that could be quite dangerous before the days of anti-venom. So Ancient Greek Drakons were often fire-breathing or highly venomous gigantic _serpents_, rather than being based on dinosaurs, monitor lizards, large predatory turtles or crocodiles. Classic examples include the Colchian Drakon that guarded the Golden Fleece Medea gives to you as her (now-cursed) keepsake The Blackened Fleece, the Ismenian Drakon slain by Cadmus and the two sea Drakons sent by the Greek-aligned gods to kill a Trojan who discovered the secret of Odysseus' Trojan Horse plan before the Greeks could spring the trap. While some of them were merely gigantic serpents who had strong venom or breathed fire (or both), some Drakons would lay down other precedents of dragon lore that would be carried into later adaptations by other European nations or incorporated into their own dragon myths. The Greeks were the very first to have many-headed dragons in their myths. The infamous Lernaean Hydra that Zag fights in the first game was a variation on a Drakon that had seven to nine heads, but could regrow two heads whenever one was slain. It also had poisoned blood that burned like agonizing fire and was fatal to anything not divine. Heracles killed the Hydra by having his cousin cauterize the necks of the Hydra after he cut the heads off, then crushed the final, invincible head under a giant boulder. The hundred-headed Ladon, the Drakon that guarded the Hesperides apple trees where Eris gets her Golden Apples from, takes the many heads idea to an extreme. Together with the Colchian Drakon, Ladon also set the standard for the idea of dragons guarding hoards of wealth. In the case of Drakons, however, they guarded wealth because they were set there by Gods as divine guardians, not because of their inner greed (which was a more Central European myth in origin). Drakons were also the first type of dragon to have wings. Helios, the Sun God counterpart to Selune who drives the Chariot of the Sun, had a chariot pulled by winged Drakons. He gave this chariot to Medea to help her escape from Jason and the Thebeans once she had killed her own children and Jason's wife-to-be in order to spite him for immediately ditching her when they reached mainland Greece. The infamous Typhon, father of monsters and divine enemy of Olympus created by Gaia to overthrow Zeus, was said to have a humanoid torso but the wings, fangs and tail of a dragon. As in later Western myths, these wings were bat wings affixed to a reptilian creature. However, Typhon himself was not considered a proper Drakon but rather an amalgam of many monstrous qualities, so he isn't an exact example. Although they are often slain, just like their Western counterparts, unlike their Western counterparts they are very rarely slain by heroes. Jason does not slay the Colchian Drakon but instead has to resort to asking Medea to conjure up a magical sleeping potion and step around it. In some versions of Heracles' labour to take the Golden Apples, he is unable to slay the Drakon Ladon and must ask the Titan Atlas to grab the apples for him while he holds up the sky. Others have him using the poisoned blood of the Hydra in order to kill Ladon, unable to do it directly. Said Hydra was not fully slain by Heracles, but instead pinned for ever under a giant rock. Cadmus did slay a Drakon in his own myth, but only after it had killed two other heroes travelling with him and at a personal penalty. The Drakon that Cadmus had slain was sacred to Ares, so he demanded Cadmus labour for eight years in penance for killing it. This is because Drakons were not mere monsters in Greek myth but sacred manifestations of the will of specific Gods, and mortals and even demigods very rarely are able to defy the Gods without consequence. Drakons were guardians, protectors or agents of the divinity, and so only a divinity was seen as fit to kill them without consequence. This is why Mel berates them for siding with Chronos in Hades II--they were seen as agents of the Gods rather than immoral stains upon their creation, so submitting to Chronos' will makes them traitors to their divine masters (including her). This is very distinct from West and Central European myth, where folk heroes often kill dragons using wit or good luck and it is considered a moral obligation for knights to attempt to slay dragons if they appear in service to God's will. But in Ancient Greece's myths the Gods were typically the ones who dealt with Drakons when they appear. Zeus famously battled Typhon and buried him under a rock, just like his son Heracles did to the last invincible head of the Hydra. Hera sent a Drakon to kill Leto, Apollo's mother, and in revenge Apollo chased down the Drakon (sometimes called Python and sometimes called Delphyne) and slew them at the site that would later become his temple, the Oracle at Delphi. Lastly, the Snake-Giants lobbed a Drakon at Olympus during their assault on the mountain, just like the Drakons aiding Chronos in Hades II. Athena responded by backhanding it with her shield so hard it became a constellation, Draco, which we still use in navigation and astronomy to this day. In light of this, Mel's own ability to slay Drakons is hardly surprising. She's empowered by the will of her fellow Gods and is herself 7/8ths divine, so striking them down is well within her ability. Of course, even the Gods struggled to battle them sometimes, with every God but Zeus fleeing Typhon during his attack on Olympus and the Snake-Giant invasion being an entire war (the Gigantomachy) between the Gods and more of Gaia's draconic children. Thus, while Mel certainly can kill Drakons, them being late-game enemies and minibosses makes sense considering that it's rarely depicted as being _easy...
To this day, I'm still doing this run with Natural Selection. I'm still aiming to get 6-7 Legendary boons in a run but in the Underworld. In the surface, 5 is the possible you can get.
Weird how seething marauder stopped working on the omegas when you took psychic whirlwind
Oh dang, didn’t even notice
Definitely a bug
Likely a coding issue that may be a bug or not honestly.
Psychic turns your oattack into a single attack that lasts for a durations instead of it being a pulse that keeps attacking until you interrupt it by doing a different action
I got it randomly during the city a couple of days back and that run ended up with me getting FOUR LEGENDARIES and 4 more duos😭
That’s wild
natural selection run but like for real this time and not found randomly in olympus? i thought i would never see the day lol
Cmon man :(
I remember people hating on natural selection at launch I always thought it was kinda sick
Also Heph vfx were the best part of the update change my mind
Why the best looking and sounding attacks unplayable at high fear 😭😭😭
