Petition for a mod that prevents lower dmg hangover effects overriding higher dmg ones

[@seretith3513]

Should the weaker ones still stack the Stronger ones or should their Stack be their Damage?

[@Craeonkie]

The strong one should override the weaker one but not the other way around

[@calebbaker7452]

I love these one god only runs. They are really cool in concept. We get to see how individual gods operate on their own

This build would be cooler if weak hangover didn't override strong hangover

[@BenDavisSkydiving]

Did you win?

[@chrispetersen9159]

@@BenDavisSkydiving Yep! Sorry I guess I should clarify, that was my first 32 heat win, not my first try at it. Haha I had several failed attempts with other pact setups, but that was the first time I had done the 5 minute tight deadline and it was rough at the time.

[@pumbaa667]

ahahah, exactly same ! And I didn't know, at the time, that reaching 0:00 wouldn't instantly kill me, so I though I killed dad on the exact 0:00 mark. =D

just stumbled upon your channel again after a few months of not playing hades, and you seriously got me hooked back on the game! just beat 32 heat with all aspects and i’m planning on pushing my heat gauge even further.

[@TheB0sss]

That recommended pact setup you mentioned sounds insane lol, I don't even like to do >50% lasting consequences on 40 heat, 100% on 32 heat is just dumb

[@leopardscanfly]

at 40 heat 100% lasting consequences + stubborn is definitely the way to go

[@TheB0sss]

@@leopardscanfly personally, I don't like it. Not a big fan of stubborn defiance in general. I haven't tried higher than 40 heat yet (don't know if I ever will lol). But I did do every weapon on 40 heat without stubborn defiance. And without stubborn defiance I just don't like going 100% LC.

[@axllow3914]

@@TheB0sss It's always sort of an equivalent exchange, if you don't take 100% LC you probably have to take something else. Boils down to preference most of the time.

[@aonarfaileas4554]

The thing with Arthur, IMO, is that the sword's passives work *with* the clunk, in terms of theme and feel when you play it, while Rama feels disjointed. Arthur wants you to facetank, which compliments the slow attack speed (especially for newer players who struggle with dodging). Rama hits like an absolute truck, but you're still just as fragile as normal, which makes it's slow charge feel more punishing.

[@axllow3914]

YESSS can't wait for all the one god only runs!

[@compiling]

The reason for the LC4 recommendation is that stubborn defiance is probably easier for a new player to get used to compared to something like forced overtime 2, and you can't avoid all the hard pacts. I looked at some different guides from the reddit one, but ended up using basically the same idea.

[@theunnamedaccount4009]

26:48 Hit the nail on the head. When I first found out I had a cast my initial reaction was "why would I ever use this" When I unlocked the mirror upgrade for it, my reaction then went to "oh, so you use it on bosses and that's it" Only after I was told about cast builds did I realise how good it could be

[@TMOFApollios]

Chiron sea storm build with the aphro dash won me my first 32. Nothing to exciting, but super consistent with a decent amount of Zeus buffing everything.

[@Rakebab1]

My first 32 heat win was a Zeus build with Demeter fists and divine dash. It was definitely intense but felt so good.

[@lavendergorbach296]

I think it took me about 25 attempts to beat Hades, but for half of those I was using mouse and keyboard, and not even getting to Meg.

[@samuelmichalek5349]

I would love to see a 32 heat challenge where you make the pact as miserable as it can be for yourself xd

[@BFedie518]

Full extreme measures, routine inspection, approval process, damage control, and tight deadline puts you at 31. Put the last point into jury summons and use aspect of Arthur. That's the worst I can think of.

[@Haelian]

I think we did this but I can't find the video. Long story short: not good.

[@samuelmichalek5349]

I wouldn't go that far as to pick up arthur into damage control. Just a showcase how vastly different the difficulty would get even though the Heat number would be trying to convince you otherwise xD@@BFedie518

[@Przemko27Z]

As a decidedly low heat player, I think Rama can be fun for the "lots of special procs go brr". which can be pretty useful on any god that gives a non-percentile-based buff to special, like dio or ares.

[@Andytron5000]

My first clear was run 37. Mt first (and only) 32 heat win was at EM4, after a string of failures with different pact setups leaving me too weak in styx.

[@anthonygillette]

5:49 personally EM4 was how I did it. Took a couple tries, but wasn’t far off. Just didn’t feel right to me to not fight big dad for the last real reward of the game

[@anthonygillette]

Also, Gilgamesh Athena dash, frost attack, rush delivery and plume. Athena’s aid, Aphro special and cast. Not a great build but it’s the hand I was dealt

[@Sami271]

Steam achievements can give you a rough idea of how many who beat the game get to credits, beat 16 heat, beat 32 heat etc (spoiler: it's very low)

there is no achievement for 16 or 32 heat in steam

I did a 20 heat EM4 detemer-only demeter fists run once, unmodded. I had to take dio at one point and decided to get ice wine because i never get that boon if it's not for a meme. did not get arctic blast, but did get killing freeze, and was 1 door short of a legendary. still worked out pretty great, considering i wasn't able to get some of the best boons.

[@vellichor7676]

my first 32 heat win was just using maxed rama with dio special for the first time lol

[@nobelphoenix]

what if chaos gates offered you random gods' duo boons, so that there'd be more incentive to chase chaos gates and some builds really want some duo boons to shine.. but this adds another layer to the challenge so idk. I'm loving these single god runs, thanks for the content!

[@Fragmaster01]

It would be neat if Duo Boons that still made sense were enabled. Ones that don't require a mechanic you get from a different god, and merely empower the current god's mechanics.

[@GolemRising]

Use the caster shield, trippy flare is powerful and just needs extra casts to be good.

[@zach.hanford]

I forget what my exact pact setup was, but my first 32 heat clear was with Eris and shattered shackle. I remember maxing out all of the things that either limited boons, made things cost more, etc. The damage from shackle + Eris was enough that I didn't really need any boons, and with no boons you don't really need money or poms.

I beat 20 with Guan-Yu, but the health decrease is kinda brutal so idk about 32 heat. I have not even thought about 32 heat on sword or fists lol.

What's the bug with Peer Pressure? Also, while I know that not every hit with Chiron special activates Zeus Special, does it still activate Poseidon Special (and therefore Zeus with Sea Storm)?

Nice another solo god :P getting drunk this time! Edit: After watching I kinda feel like its weird that nothing other then the cast causes festive fog. Theres so much stuff related to it. how come dash or special dont cause like a small explosion/fog

[@anonymoususer188]

I was one of those casual players who briefly thought Arther was cool. The reason was the extra starting health seems good to a less experienced player. Then I realized that it was SO clunky that it was better to just use the aspect of Zagreus because Arther made it easier for enemies to land cheeky hits that would have been avoidable without it. I still think that it's better than some of the other clunky weapons, but it hasn't been my aspect of choice for the sword for a long time. I think that the idea of the bow being the worst weapon is crazy. I think I prefer the worst bow aspect over the best aspects of both the spear and the fists, not because they're bad, but because all of the bow's aspects are solid, although quite frankly, the fists suck against Theseus and Asterius. As for the "challenge" of mastering the timing on the power shot, what challenge? I mastered that in minutes practicing on Skelly before my first bow run. It's not hard. Claiming that the timing of the power shot is hard is laughable to me.

Before watching the video: I bet Dio is one of the worse gods for these runs. Without duos, you take a lot away from him. So you can only get 5 stacks of that stuff and almost every ability does that. Im going to watch this anyway later, but i guess i won't like it 🤢

[@mongodroid4842]

the difference between roguelikes and roguelites is that roguelites have permanent progression where you become permanently and objectively stronger by spending resources, while Roguelikes at most let you unlock alternative characters that have their own strengths and weaknesses so hades is a roguelite because of the mirror of night and weapon upgrades
