Becoming almost INVINCIBLE with Flurry Slash and Cursed Slash! /Hades/

[@Bensterr23]

i remember getting this build and laughing maniacally throughout the whole thing

That's a GREAT revenge on the game :) You made me laugh.

Me too! That was my first finished run of Hades, and it was last night. :)

When I got this combo + Sea Storm on the attack it was the most fun i've ever had with zag's sword

dad why did you go into a chaos rift and never come back

[@mixelmoctezuma6079]

this build was my favorite creation and made me clear my first 32 heat run with extreme measures 4, im so excited to watch you play with it

[@VannMunson]

The fact that hades said the sword cant help you when those daedalus hammers made this build is so funny to me.

[@simonds3182]

Nice! I had a pretty silly build with Zag aspect + flurry slash, piercing wave, 30% attack speed from hermes, and athena attack. Just hold down the attack button and deflect everything.

[@Nevict]

The Athena attack must have been amazing. Is that a jedi build? You know, because you deflect stuff with your sword?

This was how I got my first sword clear. I’d pretty much run out of defiance’s so thought “sod it I’ll get cursed slash now for the prophecy as I’ll never clear” and have never had an easier clear it was phenomenal!

Halfway through Asphodel I was ready to get mad that you ruined the movement speed zoom run but this ended up being way better than just maxing out movement speed.

Pretty sure you've had a run with this build, but my favorite invincible build is Posidon Call, Aphro/Zeus Duo, Pressure Point and Hunters Instinct from Artemis, Clouded Judgement from Zeus, Rip Current from Posidon, and then just about any other boons you want. Pretty much 100% uptime on the call, get enough poms on it and you deal stupid damage. Hella fun to run.

[@PenguinjitsuX]

That is insane! The attack looks like its going as fast as the adamant rail. Gotta try this sometime

[@TomGeorgin]

"Can I heal through poison you think?" No. I've tried, it does more and more damage each tick, so you will die, regardless of regen. Unless you clear the encounter fast enough so that it doesn't stack too high.

[@WithScienceAsMySheperd]

created a new save file. And touched the stars too soon... Run 2 I get enough drops to have a death defying bonus, run 3 : I get the Daedalus Cursed Slash as the introductory boon. I reached the minotaur on that 3rd run ... my 25th ever. Had reached the Theseus + Minotaur fight a couple runs before on my other save file.... Now I dream of Cursed Slash every passing moment

[@BreadKrumb]

Honestly, used this combo to beat hades for the first time. All other weapons paled in fun after that.

[@TitanicTurtles]

Accidentally got this on my third run, almost beat hades on that one lol

Did you get to hades on ur 1st or 2nd run?

I use Athena a lot! For deflecting with a dash or with my attack. Or even both and then I just go full-blown dash-strike massacre lol.

[@Skizzorhands]

Cursed slash sword doesn't afraid of anything

[@feezee82]

How come you always exit the room before beginning your run? You modify the Pact of Punishment, then exit, then start the run. Why?

[@Haelian]

Old speedrunning habit mostly, saves any changes I made in Skelly's room in case I restart.

[@GuilhermeHaschel]

I am asking this here because I could not find anywhere else. He mentioned he would be reaching the max boop amount in the beginning of the run (if not I might have understood it wrong - if so, apologies for that). So is there an actual maximum amount of boops you can have whilst using Thanatos or Hermes keepsake? Or did i get something wrong. I'm legitimately curious about this. Thanks to anyone who answer me.

[@Haelian]

It's just limited to how many combat chambers you complete successfully. You can skip combat chambers by entering shops/events/fountains, which means less boops.

[@GuilhermeHaschel]

@@Haelian Got it. Thanks. So supposedly if I didn't get hit all the way until styx I'd be getting bonus regardless of how overpowered I would get, right?

[@fjonarakyra2308]

As iam a noob, can some explain me what happened there? Even without the heal, he basically just stand infront of enemies and hold donw Y. Is that due to the attack speed? And why came zerberus and meg ocassionally in?

[@Xantar]

Yeah. He had a hammer to increase attack speed and a Hermes boon that boosted it even more. Enemies were too stunned to do anything. ETA: I know the difference between a hammer and a sword, I swear.

[@Xantar]

And oh yeah, he’s also using Aspect of Zagreus on sword which boosts attack speed even more.

[@Dragonbuist]

As you progress through the game you unlock companion items that let you summon support from a friend. Meg is one of these. With extreme measures 4 on the pact of punishment turned on, Hades gets new attacks and summoning Cerberus is one of them.

[@jxnestrings]

hes also using the feather to stack passive dodge chance - which is useful damage mitigation when not avoiding attacks intentionally
