You should note that if you get the Aphrodite/Poseidon duo you don't need to be near enemies when using the Aphro special. That has a super high DPS as well.
@simonepriolo7 ай бұрын
Same with momus. Sure poseidon is nice, but it's "just" a 120% at heroic, while Aphro's special is a 200% at epic

Some fun situational Pan tech: You can channel the special, then while holding down the special button drop the cast, fire, and still have time to full channel another special into the same cast even without any channeling speed hammers/bonuses. If you drop the cast then start channeling you don't have time to do two full channels without channeling speed bonuses.

So on aspect of Artemis, I got the BEST pan build by accident lol. Got heroic Poseidon special, with pom it was like 62 dmg. Then spiral knives for 16 knives and hook knives, this makes for 16 knives x 2 (from hook) = 32 instances of your special. And COMPLETELY unintentionally got apollo legendary, so this 32 was then doubled again for 64 instances of my special from one single omega special. With the 62 dmg from Poseidon, and the 64 instances of special... I saw the largest number I've ever seen from Poseidon from one attack, just over 4100 dmg. I killed Chronos during the 2nd half of his 2nd phase (very last bit of the fight) by barrel stuffing him and using ONE omega special. I never felt so OP ever in my 80+ hours lol
@meloaaner47807 ай бұрын
I had pretty good build with aspect of pan. I got heroic aphrodite special and somehow get it to lvl 10 with poms. It already was +410% DMG. Then I got hera and poseidon duo boon (the money one) and i had 2200 so it means +110% DMG. Got hook knives and best DMG i did to Chronos was 4100+. Could be better ngl but still pretty OP
@stephenadams76487 ай бұрын
this has been my favorite build for about two weeks now. the most busted I've been able to get it was with Poseidon on Special with Hestia's Cast and their duo, along with both Poseidon and Apollo's legendary. Controlled burn, Super Nova, and Glowing Coal also help with this build. I also had Hook Knives instead of Boundless Flurry, and got faster omegas from Chaos. I've tried getting the Aphro/Poseidon duo, and it works, but until you get the duo you have to be so close to everything and even with the duo it doesn't beat the DPS from steam. the only weak link in the build is having to take Apollo's gain for the legendary.

I feel like the absolute best Torch build is Mel Aphro with the Heartthrobs and potentially the Poseidon or Apollo Duos. Fluid Gain feels like it could be taken over Born Gain to enable going for the Duo. There are quite a few different things that work on those Omega Specials tho, like they are frighteningly efficient and strong.
@ninnusridhar7 ай бұрын
My favourite is pan + hook knives + concentrated flurry/dancing knives/spiral knives + posidon special + Hestia cast + slip + Hestia posidon duo boon. This gets every buff going as soon as the battle starts and basically treats your enemy as a pincushion. Melts bosses like they don't exist.
@noxriderash41747 ай бұрын
Out of curiosity, why didn't you take the offer Nem gave you in oceanus? My thought process was that you already had the legendary, so it would just open your magick regen back up to take hera's or something.

Not sure if you'll see this or if you've already tried but I just stumbled upon something I found pretty fun. If you get the Zues and Apollo duo boon[wording is a little off or maybe bugged, currently only deals damage after cast like apollos], and use it with the aspect of Charon you get the full empowered magic effect just for using your omega special it actually melts especially if you are using Apollo cast on top of that

The best Dagger build with the highest dps for me has been aspect of Pan with: Poseidon heroic special(There's 2/3 chance of getting heroic special by using Poseidon keepsake and Aromatic Vial), Hookshot hammer, Special Flurry hammer(reduces the mana cost and quickens the special speed), Hermes special speed boon, Born Gain, and Poseidon slip effect. (Honorary mentions: Chaos boons, Hestia Omega Special additional flame, Apollo legendary, and Icarus Omega attack explosion(OP on this build btw) are nice to have if you can get them.) Poseidon special deals a lot of dmg, especially with Hookshot hammer. Flurry hammer and Hermes can easily bump the channel speed to near instant, so you can easily spam the special with a slight button hold. Born Gain helps you spam the special, and Slip effect not only increases dmg, but is also half of The Origination effect; If you have The Furies then Demeter/Aphrodite cast + Slippery Slope will activate both The Origination and The Furies.

Had an aspect of Artemis run with Apollo legendary, both omega attack hammers and all the boons that boost omega attack (and I think aphro attack + aphro prime power boost), I was phasing chronos every time I used an omega attack. did have to wait to recharge it a bit though (apollo recharge) since I could only get 1 attack off at a time.

I think Hera could have been a really good god here. She makes the cast last 200% longer (and enemies take cast damage right as they spawn), would probably make it easier for both keeping the cast up AND for the magic regen
@laithinh21507 ай бұрын
I think it depend on the situation. When fighting a boss that don't move around too much then it's good, when fighting a boss that move around a lot or while clearing room, longer cast just mean you have to wait longer before you can place another cast or you have to lead the mob to the cast and the damage on spawn is neglectable. You just gonna waste time trying to make it work which is bad with Oath of Desperation on
@majtravien43817 ай бұрын
Btw, you can use spiral knives with non-Pan daggers, you just have to stand REALLY close to an enemy, and it works on bosses best since their hitboxes are much bigger, so they absorb most if not all of those 16 daggers from all around you. I've done it on Mel's aspect once and Chronos melted, but it was a high risk/high reward build of course.

Pan kinda needs Boundless Flurry though, or else you won't be using its extra knives at all in a lot of situations (but most importantly Chronos.) I think increasing the starting number of omega knives in a way that it will take the same amount of time for full charge as other aspects, is one way of making it feel good without making it too imba.

I have to say I tried out this build and the Apollo special didn't seem that good, (even Dan swaps it out) the damage was quite low. One way would be to get the Apollo attack so that the legendary is available then get Poseidon or somebody good on your special.

I wonder if they should just let some/all of the mana-regen boons work while channeling. It'd be one way to bring them up closer to hera's, even if the numbers are nerfed a bit, since mana-using builds want to spend a lot of time channeling.

I accidentally got a build where I dealt 7829 damage against Chronos 2nd phase using just a single OSPEC (omega special), instantly halved his total HP while my Lim and Oros Aspect of Pan is on Level 3. Aphrodite Flourish and both Hook Knives and Spiral Knives hammers can do the job. But, I didn't expect the damage were way too high which I suspect it was thanks to Concentrated Knives hammer from Icarus' Experimental Hammer keepsake. This is the best build for me so far, 2nd to pew pew staff build.

First off, that was the fastest cerberus kill I've ever seen. Secondly, the build could have been slightly better had you sold lucid gain to Nem and gotten born again from hera. You also could have gone for hera cast so your cast lasts longer, but I guess that doesn't really matter when you're throwing 32 knives at an enemy, dealing 210% damage each.
