Crazy damage with Artemis' cast and Hera! This build was so much fun /Hades/

[@jasonmelanconjm]

Artemis cast on Hera bow is one of the most fun builds to me. Especially the Aphro duo boons oh the primary fire and mirage shot 🤙🏻

[@tulicloure]

I did it with Mirage Shot the other day and it was a blast! Unfortunately Artemis didn't find me worthy of her Legendary that one time. =(

[@Exiledpontiff]

@@tulicloure i have never gotten her legendary and still am trying for the prophecy list. Gods, she is difficult to work with.

[@tulicloure]

@@Exiledpontiff I only ever get it when I'm not doing a cast build at all rofl

[@Iiphaedos]

@Valerio I totally agree dude. I've only gotten it twice, and only once when I was using a cast build. I've never found Black Out from Dyo yet, it's the last legendary I need, and I've done all the story

[@Micras08]

I got the legendary boon doing regular runs while getting used to the game. Admittedly I took a while to "git gud" :P

[@Stephen270192]

Just tried this build today and it was beyond amazing. Also lucky to get one additional cast from chaos, quick reload and the legendary boon from hermes that the casts return automatically. I'm pleased 😌

[@annalisehua]

Hera bow + Artemis cast + seeking arrow + extra cast from wherever = the best day ever.

39:22 Damn, that damage!!!

[@Iiphaedos]

That's a lotta damage

[@MaiMai-ei8mw]

Ive tried this build , its funny that you can just shoot your arrow in front of you and the cast just "ha theres a enemy"

[@kamina9901]

Tried this build a few days ago. Always amusing to see all the casts seek foes at once. I tried rama demeter special spam plus arctic blast. It was good and fun as long as you get relentless volley.

[@whisperingcrown591]

I will say that Demeter special spam is better on Chiron rather than Rama. Though Rama is way more fun to me

all im saying is ... if you have a good run with hera bow you are gonna see some pretty high numbers appear on the screen. When you onetap first Hades phase with one shot is pretty awesome

you can even pull up the codex while selecting a boon

[@axllow3914]

@@buttqueef9900 what do you mean "if"? in the codex you can see all boons and every requirement for them, you can even do it as you pick a boon

[@Iiphaedos]

@ScootaLewis lol yes it's nice to know what boons unlock what. I can tell you an easy rule for duo boons, ALMOST all of them just require you to have one core boon from each god to activate that duo in the pool. So Zeus/Poseidon (sea storm) just needs two boons, one from Zeus and one from Poseidon to be able to appear. Must be attack, special, dash, cast, or call though.

Hey Haelian, how you do randomize seed like that at 1:18? Is this some kind of third party tool or something you can run in game? How can I run it?

[@Sheamu5]

It's a mod, iirc it's on nexus mods. Just Google hades seed mod

[@riddlesphinxx]

What the heck is that seed thing at 1:17 and can you use it on the Switch?

[@jaredneal3463]

Do crit chances stack? Like if you have 10% crit chance on cast, and then get 4% PP, do you have a 14% crit chance?

[@GoodVibes-nn6gb]

Yeah I believe you do

[@Iiphaedos]

Yes they do. As well as if you used say, nemesis sword or Zagreus bow

[@awfulknight3344]

My first bow run was with Hera Aspect, had Artemis cast, call, and attack, Dionysus special, Athena dash, the Arti Dio duo boon, artemis legendary (using stygian soul), and triple and explosive shot. I just would press cast 4 times (had a well of charon +1 bloodstone for the hades fight) go up to him special and attack and do thousands of damage at once, not to mention that I had the one where my call charged quicker when I took or dealt damage. Goofiest shit ever, newfound love for the bow acquired.

[@Iiphaedos]

@Haelian after lernie you got a diamond bounty for 12 heat. Did you skip doing heat levels on the bow and they show up during a 20 heat run? I'm confused 😂

[@Haelian]

I started using a new savefile because my original is bloated with runs and makes the game run slower. Not all of the bounties have been collected on this save.

Why does Artemis' attacks Crits so frequently? Because her shots are 'Ard-to-Miss :D

[@mrrd4444]

I'm not an expert or anything but every time I get Hera I always get the Artemis cast because it seeks a second enemy when I kill the first and really helps when I only get a certain number in a row!

[@jedskee333]

that third phase was great

[@sstankfish]

Watched enough of this to hear that splash dash was good with the build. Went on to get splash dash, art on cast, Zeus on special, and all three duo boons for the trio... It was such an easy run, I wish I would have set the heat higher lol

[@LudaChez]

I am hot garbage with the bow. I struggled to clear the game once with it. I haven't tried Hera or Rama though (I have them unlocked). Maybe I will have to try this. Any tips out there let me know! I'm not the best player but I'm definitely above average

[@NjLegionIc3dTea]

Chiron bow. Start with Artemis keepsake. Get decent rarity special. Get aphro attack. Get duo boon for aphro and Artemis. Fill with other damage boosting boons/Chiron well buffs. Profit. You literally can’t lose.

[@Iiphaedos]

@LudaChez Hera is super good dude, I actually prefer to Chiron, which is also very good. With Hera, I'd recommend Aphro or Poseidon cast, it builds up quick, and both so very good damage and have some crowd control. With the bow, if you dash, and then attack, your attack actually moves quicker. What I mean by that is, your perfect shot (when you are holding attack and when Zagreus and your aim arrow flash white) actually goes quicker than if you hadn't just started attack while dodging. It does less damage (slightly) but that is how the bow can be so effective. Dash away, hold attack while dashing, hit that quicker perfect shot.

[@trunghoang6681]

Second Wave actually makes breaking wave deal dmg twice, from what i've seen so far, still only make it good at clearing rooms tho

[@Iiphaedos]

Would you take it over razor shoals?

[@trunghoang6681]

@@Iiphaedos for the memes? Yes. Sane move to just get win? No xD

[@Micras08]

Idd. Also the problem is that it's a double KNOCKBACK, very few enemies are going to get hit twice. But as you said, it will save you some damage taken in rooms for sure on top of making the clear slightly faster. Weird boon ^^

[@Iiphaedos]

@Trung Hoang i kinda feel the same way. But I think also breaking wave with (I forget the name) the boon that raises knockback DMG vs bosses may be a pretty nice boost with certain builds. I'd think Hera bow with Poseidon cast or splash dash anything

[@Iiphaedos]

@Trung Hoang also while I'm thinking about it, if the knockback DMG boon works on things like the shield base attack, which knocks enemies back. Poseidon attack on shield might be spicy as heck, with triple knockbacks per attack. But maybe it doesn't work that way

[@DortioPhysco79]

AYE NUMBER 1! love your videos man keep up the great content

[@fadasd]

what happens if you fill in all boon slots and get another boon? 36:07

[@Iiphaedos]

@fadasd happens all the time. At that point, (and sometimes before) the game will offer you to replace a current core boon you have, for an upgraded rarity from another god. Either that, or you just get offered other boons from that respective god. It's literally impossible to get every boon on a single run, so there will always be more offered.

[@Iiphaedos]

@fadasd if you are just talking about the boon screen where you can see every boon you have currently, it just gets bigger and fills in more

[@fadasd]

@@Iiphaedos i see thanks

It's a mod that lets you choose what you see in the first room.

[@heavenly_haori1725]

Is it normal that I’m on escape attempt 18 (As this was written) and haven’t had any Artemis boons for at least 10 escape attempts and most of my runs I’ve made it to Elysium. I haven’t even had the chance to get her keepsake and I’m constantly being offered Athena and Aphrodite boons which is making my runs really repetitive.

[@sqeekybassoon8210]

I think that was a mod, but you can use keepsakes as a makeshift way of choosing your next boon. The keepsakes from the Olympian gods will guarantee that the next boon you find is theirs.

[@joebrown4860]

Whats the best build for shield? Roughly..

[@slimandlean]

Chaos shield. Get a high damage special boon like aphro, Artemis, posiden, Demeter, or Athena. Out of those I like Artemis or posiden with Sea Storm. My favorite though is chaos shield with Ares on the special. And you could go for merciful end with Athena on the attack. Zeus Aspect for shield in underrated imo but has a high skill gap. Beawulf is pretty easy, almost all casts are good except Demeter on that one. I recommend Chaos shield with all bloods invested for the best results

[@Iiphaedos]

Like what Peter said. But on chaos shield, Zeus on special can be very powerful as well. Everything kinda works on chaos shield, just remember to block THEN bull rush. Most anything works on all of the shields.

Enter the Gungeon is honestly the closest game mechanically to Hades.

[@Iiphaedos]

I've always felt like Hades is a simplified Diablo with a focus on action :)

[@Orionhart]

@@Iiphaedos I can see that comparison as well in the action avenue but Diablo IS its looting system and story structure to me

[@Iiphaedos]

@Orionhart yeah that's fair. It kinda is that way, cause there are some RPGs that do it better combatwise than Diablo, but it's all a out that loot.

[@bruhder5854]

Diablo and hades just look similar because of the camera style mainly. Diablo is mechanically all about the rng mechanica, the loot, the builds. Hades is all about just getting through the final boss in whatever way you feel like you want you. The builds don't matter much and the gameplay is much more fluid while being way more skill based.
