I may have been sleeping on this duo. | Hades 2 Olympic Update

[@johnstajduhar9617]

Haelian's converted me from an axe simp into a based Torches enjoyer. Every new build a banger

[@DeleteWidowNOW]

Staff and daggers chads 🗿

[@masonskiekonto590]

​First time reading aspect of Artemis i thought, man, i really want to love it but it sounds so shit. Yesterday atomized Chronos with her aspect and keepsake, no hit.

[@benkenobi8816]

Ur still a simp cause ur choosing based off of someone else's choice. Axe and daggers are the best weapons in Hades 2 btw others are trash.

[@ddoc8573]

great thing about island getaway is that it works with glamour gain. every enemy is always weak. my favourite fun build is eos with hestia special, aphro attack and gain. and then island getaway and hot flash. pyro technique works wonders with it too.

[@thundercrash4775]

@@ddoc8573 What are you taking from Poseidon to get Island Getaway then? Sprint? Cast?

[@ddoc8573]

@@thundercrash4775 yeah one of those. I don't think it's important. glamour gain and hestia's special already give origination and going for the poseidon hestia duo is a bit much

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

This works really well with strength because a core strategy of the card is to build max health. Strength is powerful because health is much easier to get back than death defiances. Part of me hopes they rectify this by buffing eternity rather than nerfing strength, although the game as a whole would be easier if they did this. Whihc I think makes sense because if you make it really hard, your success at high fear becomes increasingly less a case of how well you understand the mechanics are more how lucky you are and how willing you are to do resets. In any event, there's plenty of other things they could do to keep things from beein too easy the other way than just nuking whatever happens to be effective.

[@dodang_9147]

i think strength gives too much defensive benefits and not enough offensive benefits. it is weird because in practice, death defiance give you reassurance to build offence because health isn't as valuable if your 1 hit nearly entire game. if they were balance the strength card closer to death defiances, they'd like halve the damage reduction to 25% but increase damage to 100% than both of these cards would just be glass cannon builders. If they tried convert death defiance into tank build, it would be something like you can regain death defiance per damage output you do. This would just make death defiance an auto-pick because say every 1000 damage recovers 1 death defiance, that can become an infinity heal function as long as you do enough damage to recover the death defiance. much of the games difficult stems from being 1 shot, having limited health so anything that grants durability especially at base is primed to be too powerful. I think the problem bad builds is reroll function. the fact that this is an arcana card means that player is forced spend points into rerolls to mitigate shitty boon balance. I think portion of the rerolls in arcana cards should be base-kit. for example, you can roll 5 times without any upgrades and your allowed to change location. the arcana card should do something different. maybe you can go into menu and press "favor" on particular boon and if you press reroll, it spends 2 rolls to guaranteed that boon you selected. if the boon is duo boon or legendary boon, it spends 3 rolls. So perhaps Arcana card rolls can make your rolls stronger. the bonus card allows you to gain +5 rolls. players already forced builds with current 10 rolls and most of the time, you get whatever roll you want in the run as long you survive long enough to get it.

[@Absolar-flare]

If you cast omega special while the daybreaker is out, the omega special will also orbit the daybreaker

[@Harps0ng]

That brawl in They Live is one of the best fight scenes in all of film. Just two beefy dudes beating the ever loving shit out of each other in a very realistic feeling street fight and becoming best bros after. It's beautiful. It might not being the best stuntwork of all time or anything, but it is effective in how they wear each other down

[@mannagrynet]

Been watching your content since the first Hades and just wanted to leave a comment saying that I love trying out the builds you do, even if they end up different it's still really fun! I got up to 450hp trying this out, using the mel axe for more HP

[@antimony926]

I was actually a little surprised you took the Pom here at 33:53, considering Poseidon could have offered you water fitness (I am pretty sure you didn't get it?). It would have increased your HP by 105!

[@RubberGamesHD]

Yeah that was a big oversight

[@saint-naive]

omg my local theater screened The Thing for Halloween, it was so cool to see on the big screen! it's one of my favorite movies but it was like watching it for the first time, I was filled with dread throughout. 10/10 Halloween experience.

[@saint-naive]

also I've seen the theory that Childs is infected but because it's just him and McReady and no way out, he's accepted his fate and just resigns himself to it the name way McReady is. I kind of like that idea of a stalemate. I've also seen the drink theory you mentioned. I can't decide what I like best.

[@sakshamkalsi5528]

36:27 I'm like hey whatsup hello

[@Annokh]

Haelian walking back and forth past a golden pot throughout the entire act 1 is an ultimate viewer trolling.

[@thew00dsman79]

The shadow of the person who first gets infected in The Thing was a stunt guy, *specifically* so you don’t know who gets infected first! Also 12 Monkeys is based as hell, the tv show was pretty fantastic too

[@Haelian]

Haven't seen 12 Monkeys in FOREVER but always loved it

[@mymiserablesister5378]

I did a build with Aphro’s weak gain, freeze cast and blitz attack with the jetpack and between the duo with a life build and origination the combo was insane. Everybody was melting

[@kevinistired]

I agree. Daybreaker was better when he was just a little guy floating around.

[@coldfanta4963]

Got the duo the other day! Ran alongside strength arcana and Shameless Attitude, and chose Dio's Worry Free for the health and fated list. I thought the battle with Prometheus was close, but I had ~500 health and finished the battle with 400.

[@LadZeroUltra]

Got my first 32 fear clear in the underworld today thanks to that silly Mel staff Geyser Spout build from a few days ago. Cheers dan.

[@ByrneBaby]

Ygnium is so fun to build with. I hope builds get a little more streamlined so we aren't checking the guide so much lol

[@misolaneous]

When it comes to Aphro close-up bonus and the Daybreaker, does Mel have to be close to the target or does teh Daybreaker count as the entity attacking?

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

Great job with the duo!

[@2admie]

I would actually watch a Haelian playthrough of Pyre. At least for learning how to play it.

[@VivBrodock]

did Dan just say that no other John Carpenter movie sticks out to him? Like have you not seen Halloween?

[@zombotany3443]

Does island getaway work with glamor gain?

[@wildstorm3486]

Yes.All Aphrodite boons that requires you to be close to an enemy get the Island Getaway bonus. It’s nice with Glamor Gain because it makes all enemies Weak all the time. And then it’s halfway to Origination as well. Not that you will be to hard pressed to proc Origination most of the time as long as you plan accordingly.

[@zombotany3443]

@wildstorm3486 damn, so glamor gain isn't completely out of the question for a ranged attack type build.

[@wildstorm3486]

@@zombotany3443As long as you can a slot Poseidon into your god pool and are willing to go for the Duo boon. Then yes it can work for a long ranged build.

16:01 andy ban vdude for me 16:50 bloodline is goodge here because you have island getaway so you're always regaining magick from everything at all ranges, strimmer always throwing 😋😋😋 32:05 punished as you should be xD 33:56 c'mon strimmer why don't u optimize the fun runs 😡😡😡😡 take Poseidon for his infusion duhhhhh this was a fun build :D

i use this duo with frinos and the mel axe its nasty

[@SpiffierShindigs]

You gonna watch The Substance?

[@keerthan7558]

I find it a bit strange to see swaps with rarity below epic in this game

[@TheSUGA1202]

During the creation of hades the studio got robbed so maybe the casting of the va went internally cause of the lack of funds they hasd at the time?

[@sh.walker]

Try dash blitz build

[@UnreleventJock]

Do a vengeance afk build

[@dinostorion]

daybreaker could be better. i fear any improvement would make it too good though. i miss its face

[@dodang_9147]

the daybreaker is really good already. the issue is the special attack. your suppose to use daybreaker attack than spam Omega special which orbits around the daybreaker but damage output of special is kinda bad. it also doesn't last long enough. its more valid this patch than other patches because you can run dog that gives you a great amount of max mana but i still don't think its remotely a good option.

[@lunatic4861]

FIRST!!!

[@tokilladaemon]

I think, instead of rarity increasing arctic ring's damage, it should increase its freeze duration. That way rarity would actually mean something for it

[@dodang_9147]

boon called cold storage.
