Ngl every time Chronos does his twirly whirly scythe attack I say 'Good pattern! Good pattern!' out loud. As for Trivia: While Heph is pretty universally portrayed as disabled in all Greek myths, the exact nature of his disability and how he handles it varies from story-to-story. In most ancient Greek stories, Heph was born with a congenital disability involving inward-pointing feet, a trait he passed on to one of his sons who joined Jason on the Argo. However, a more modern telling has his disability as a leg or spinal injury suffered when Zeus threw him off Mount Olympus for trying to protect Hera from one of his unwanted advances. This story is much less popular and Hades II very strongly seems to go with his disabilities being genetic. Vases from ancient Greece portray him as having backwards-or-inwards-curving feet, but he's also often depicted with a hunch that would suggest his condition includes spinal problems. He and his kids are often depicted using the word 'crab-footed' (karkinopus), again suggesting that he ambled along on feet that curve incorrectly. Homer calls him 'the god of the dragging footsteps', and the epic Dionysica calls him 'heaveykneed' and 'hobbling'. One of the reasons he knew Eros, son of Aphrodite and owner of the Heart-Seeking Bow from the first game, was not his own child is because he didn't have the same birth defect the all of his other kids did. Poor guy. Heph's answers to his disability vary from myth to myth, with Homer depicting him creating twenty wheeled tripods that would move his materials around for him at his behest. He also has him using mechanical maids he built himself help support his legs when he wanted to walk. Modern classical vases tend to support this mechanized crutch idea, and some even depict him using an enchanted winged chariot as a wheelchair. In addition, he was known to have made prosthetics for other Gods and I've seen at least one statue of him showing one of his legs is a bronze peg leg. Older representations of him just have him more practically using a tamed donkey to ride around and support him--they tend to come from before the Greeks were good enough at bronze working to even imagine complex tools like chariots and robots made out of bronze. He's also sometimes depicted using a pair of canes to aid him when walking in these older variations. Hades II seems to have made a compromise between the more modern, mechanically-inclined depictions, showing him sitting in a self-crafted wheelchair and having a mechanical prosthesis for one of his legs at the same time. Heph has his disability in common with other forge gods from the same time and era, including a Greek recording of the God Ptah as a dwarf craftsman and the Norse God Weyland the Smith. These gods seem to come from a cultural memory of a time when arsenic was used to finish copper, which would result in neurodegenerative symptoms in copper and bronze smiths that gave them disabilities in walking and skin conditions similar to Heph's 'ugly' skin or face described in Greek myths. This helps date Heph to being a more modern God by Greek standards--he came about during the Bronze Age, long after the PIE people had made their way to Greece. It also challenged the conventional idea of strength in a God, as most of the older, PIE people-derived Gods like Zeus and Poseidon and Hera and Demeter and so on were idealized super-beings of magical and physical strength, but Heph and later Athena became more and more dominant in Greek discourse as Gods of genius, a different kind of strength that served the Greeks better than mere martial prowess ever did.
@Boat3d also waiting 2 extra seconds for chain reaction feels so awkward, I think they need to revise that to be more like if the attack gets triggered within the first 2 seconds of recharge then double it
heph is honestly an underated god for damage, especially for magickless dmg and burst, and his legendary is honestly kinda godlike. I'd love to see a crazy Spiteless Strength + Kings Ransom game

I was rooting for you to not get Heartbreaker and Sunny Dispo, I hate heartthrobs. But Love Handles is cool with all the blast effects! Love the cling clang sounds from Heph
Now you're making more explosions than Michael Bay with this one! BOOM BOOM BOOOOOOM!!!! 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥
This build's got a lot more CLANG than the 2016 Berserk anime, and in a much more satisfying way.
If you got to that Sunny Dispo, you would have gotten my new favorite staff build
Already have that full build on the channel in a few different ways
@@Boat3d yessir, that's how I discovered my favorite build
