TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DAMAGE FROM POMMING 1 BOON | Hades 2 Olympic Update

[@kadebrockhausen]

I've gotten two Kings Ransoms in one run. Selling it does not remove the extra poms, and having Born Gain again lets you take it again for even more poms. That Chronos flight was literally less than 45 seconds

[@johnsober]

Not sure if I correctly understood what happened, but I got hera's legendary and I think the duo counted the infusion boons as boons of hera. I do know for sure I didn't have the infusion boons after.

[@37thJester]

I've never seen a more unpunished greed run in my life LOL. This was amazing to watch!

[@ByrneBaby]

When I saw the Echo pom addition, I immediately thought of the potential of runs like these lol Apollo Sprint would be fun to see how fast you can get

[@yuzmanito]

I've done max speed sprinting runs when the new weapon came out. They suck big time, but they're so funny to see. It makes me think of hades 1 seeded speedruns. Zag running as fast as a kitchen cockroach.

[@manuelito1233]

I was so disaoppointed when Heph's had a hard cap, i got it down to 2 seconds then i thought it'd scale real hard, but alas, it's straight up capped at 2 second cooldown.

[@tylord2897]

Yeah there's something weird going on with toasting fork. I'm not sure if its romantic spark or toasting fork or both of them, but from what I can tell, proccing blitz with romantic spark while also having toasting fork will do two instances of damage, one from romantic spark that is 200% of what the blitz damage would have been, and then one from toasting fork that does x% of what the blitz would be based on what the toasting fork percentage is. This lets it go through armor with two separate hits, and also leads to the damage numbers sometimes being inconsistent, because if both hits go off it shows them as one damage number, but if only the first one goes off, it will only show the romantic spark number and not the toasting fork number. Not sure the cause of any of this or if it works without romantic spark, but thats what I've been able to notice so far

[@dxxander]

I really like how even after pom softcaps it still is effective to go overboard, like flat damage additions from blitz or flat 5%/10% damage from percentage boons

[@bluevortexpng1211]

dan really played with the fates at 34:32

[@TLK_simon]

you can it btw, don't recommend it but it's doable

[@markignatovich3379]

it would have been hilarious to see his run obliterated by cockiness lol

[@yuzmanito]

That was amazing. And I love how Dan was already thinking how to make it even crazier. Also, interestingly the poms were doing something, the number kept getting bigger

[@xraenon1664]

I wanna talk about how Nitro Boost just full-blocks a 1-hit kill. I know the main focus was 1-shotting Kronos phases but this run would have gone out the saddest way possible if it wasn’t for that

[@mzk4193]

I can only imagine how calmly hera would take the fact that you sold of twice her boons in favour of her cheating husband. Expect 12 labours or even more when all of this is over Mel 😂

[@SayShelo]

When zeus gets to use his master lightning bolt for once

[@inbracedefeat]

I am not a creative hades player so I love watching your videos for fun build guides. Thanks for the great content!

[@Iteration456-8_codename_goblin]

I swapped to strength and I cant go back, I never die anyway and the free 25% is immaculate

[@hunteroneal4942]

I love Alien Resurrection for the simple fact that Sigourney Weaver actually made that backwards half court line shot. Plus the entire cast almost died repeatedly trying to shoot the underwater sequence.

[@justarandomdood]

almost shat the bed at that Chronos OHKO lmaooooo

[@leodastopsign1653]

Built in Shocking Loss with those crits like holy crap

[@shivanshmadaan1039]

that has to be the fastest kronos fight i have ever seen

[@themacattack671]

honestly he could have gotten an even fatter number if he applied blitz and let toasting fork proc the blitz damage for a 233% boost rather than romantic sparks 100%. On a crit I bet it would get close to 20K

[@VivBrodock]

My favorite thing to do with Aspect of Eos is Triple Comet, its devilishly fun to have a ton of balls all fly around at once.

[@bobanobahoba1642]

Normal rarity nitro boost blocking one hit saved the run

[@IamWinningFoundation]

Just wanna say thanks because i got my first prometheus kill using your speedrun build

[@coldfanta4963]

The true power of pom pom pom!

[@Ninetales1616]

Hello. If someone is kind and has the time, could I have ta text description of the arcana setup and boons used? I usually have a rough idea of what is being chosen, But I would like to try this out. I am visually impaired, this is why I am asking for description. Thank you kindly in advance!

[@RubberGamesHD]

I really wanted to see how far static shock would go, anyway, that was crazy

[@Joniisan]

oh.. that's gross. now i want to try

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

I’ve gotta try this attack next time I play.

[@samuelzachary8723]

I would love to see a crazy incandecent aura build. You might be able to use born gain to get funny numbers if you stack magica and can spend it fast enough.

[@Suave_friendly]

surface run with +5 magick per chamber from medea is probably good for that

[@Arkayjiya]

@@Suave_friendly I just did the Incandescent Aura run (I chose surface), and honestly, I was happy I didn't meet Medea. Not only is she a waste of a god room (i literally only picked hammer and 5 god rooms in the first area and I barely got everything I needed before I got to Prometheus, I got the last important boon the last room before Charon iirc), because if you have too much magicka, you'll spend too much time trying to spend it before seeing a proc, even if you have like 3 boons that increase magicka cost. Sure the proc will be bigger, but with invulnerability phases blocking additional damage beyond 2/3 and 1/3 health, it won't even really deal more damage, It's better to keep your max magicka in the medium range of 240 to 300 imo so that your Incandescent Aura procs are more frequent even if they're less powerful. If I had taken Medea, I would have had like 500 to 525 magicka by the end, that's just too much even with a lot of omega speed. I had 305 magicka myself, and I dealt 10200 dmg just with Incandescent aura during the fight, but honestly I regretted having so much magicka, I might have done better with 250, in fact the boss leapt and ran away just before getting hit by my second proc of Incandescent aura which triggered too late because I had too much magicka so I wasted a ton of damage here. Of course I also made the mistake of not spending almost all my magicka during the invulnerability phases so that I would hit him immediately when he came back so that might make a bit more mana worth it but when you're trying to figure out the eagle's pattern it's a bit busy already xD. Something to keep in mind is that if you're doing that build and are also using the Hera/Hephaestus duo boon (to spend magicka when damaged), you probably want the +40% attack speed vow to increase the amount of times you get hit, that will trigger Born Gain much more often by just standing there and tanking all of his attacks while you're spamming your omega. You already have all the gods necessary to tank the attacks anyway (Hephaestus for the duo with Hera, and he gives you Armor, Apollo for the legendary that increase omega attack and special cost also give you an infusion that heals you for 30% of the damage taken, and Strength Arcana card is recommended of course) so even if you tank the dmg, you'll end up the fight having barely lost any health, I was still above 81% health when I finished the fight even though I dodged literally nothing (beside the 150 dmg fire waves when the boss isn't in the arena), and at one point I procced Incandescent Aura twice within 2 seconds by just taking hits from Prometheus, his AoE and his Eagle at the same time.

[@LadZeroUltra]

5:15 controller lmao

[@lestervalentin5418]

i accidently did this in one run coz of the echo keepsake (lost born gain which really sucked for a while) and i managed to get blitz to level 37 at 700+ damage 🤣 ended up regaining magick regen before chronos and deleted grandpa. plan to do it again now with intent and romantic spark and see how far i could get the damage

[@soraearth]

I love Eos, but only because I also use the omega special with it. It's big damage! What kept you from using the omega special?

[@milanweinmann2081]

when you see the overall damage numbers at the end, does it count what it says when you hit enemys, or does it just count how much you really do?

[@Haelian]

I'm gonna guess how much you actually do, otherwise the numbers would be much higher here I think.

[@tiagoj8020]

Does Artemis dash 20% crit chance work with romantic spark?

[@thiaguiiimaraes]

I really don't understand how the damage is so high, please someone explain to me the math behind. The blitz was 1k in the end, how could the damage be 14k?

[@HealRD]

Plenty of Pom upgrades with the King's Ransom duo (+4 per Hera Boon), Echo's Pom Pom Pom (2x levels), and the triple Pom room in Tartarus (+9 if all rooms are taken).

[@thiaguiiimaraes]

@HealRD I get the poms part, but the boon with all the poms in the end says "Blitz Damage: 1030", so how it's doing 14k damage? I understand that the Zeus & Aphrodite Duo gives 100% more damage to the Blitz when you sprint at them, but still doesn't make sense to me the 14k damage

[@HealRD]

​@@thiaguiiimaraes In this run, multiple damage multipliers are stacked, including The Furies (+30% global), Origination (+50% global), and Strength Arcana (+25% global), Hearty Appetite (global damage scaling with max HP), Romantic Spark (+200% Blitz damage), Toasting Fork (+233% Blitz damage), and Double Strike. With Aphro in the pool, Shameless Attitude and Sweet Surrender are also available options for more global damage.

[@aonarfaileas4554]

@@HealRD I *think* the way it works out ends up being: x2 (Spark) x1.5 (Orig) x1.25 (Str) x3 (Crit) x1.3 (Furies), for ~14.6x total damage. Pretty sure if any of the other effects applied the number would've been way higher.

[@HealRD]

@@aonarfaileas4554 Yeah, Aphrodite’s Shameless Attitude paired with Sweet Surrender (from the Rapture Ring), Hera's Uncommon Grace, Artemis's PP/First Blood instead of Shadow Pounce, and potentially a fourth god (like Apollo and Poseidon) could further boost damage. Still, it’s primarily a Pom-focused run.
