Possibly The Greatest Crystal Beam Build Ever (+30% HP btw)

I had lvl 9 Epic beam, lvl 3 glare, two extra casts from chaos, Fully Loaded, Mirage Shot, Bad News, Crystal Clarity ofc, Pressure Points, Clean Kill, and a Braid of Atlas... Hades stood no chance.

crystal beam was always my go to skill. it makes the boss fights so much easier because you can fully focus on dodging.

[@seamali4383]

Lmaoooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@markbaranyai4479]

That's the most fun looking build i've seen so far

[@ByrneBaby]

I almost had a similar one with Hunting Blades but I was too lazy and I lost the run

[@seamali4383]

I'm going to try this too 🤩

[@GenericName0042]

I haven't played with the Desperate Measures on level 4 yet, so I was fuckin SHOOK when Hades popped out a phase 3. That surprised me more than the beam damage ngl

[@ByrneBaby]

It's honestly a really gnarly fight. I actually skipped another part of EM4, which is the Cerberus summon, like how Zag can summon Bouldy or Meg with the companions. If you do enough damage, you can simply end phase 2 before Hades gets a chance to trigger the summon.

I almost got this build myself. Even had Cast fists (Talos) equipped. But because I was doing heat 32, Approval Process denied me Crystal Clarity (the reason why Crystal Beams are so OP in here) and Bad News (+50% dmg if enemy has no cast in them). Was surprised that I actually made it.

[@ByrneBaby]

That's why I don't ever do approval process unless I'm going for boonless. It's already a dice roll, getting all these broken builds to begin with, getting blocked further makes it waaaay worse.

[@pigifi]

@@ByrneBaby Just double checked records since it was over a year ago and I had heat 32 on almost all Aspects. Turns that I didn't get Fully Loaded as well. That makes it even more frustrating.

[@Random-ps4dl]

I can hear the melanin. Seriously though, nice build man.

[@thecheck968]

Damn, and I always ignored the crystals in Hades 1. More fool me apparently.

[@ByrneBaby]

it's a pretty free win even when it's suboptimal :P

[@Drag0nSl4yer18]

What a build LOL. Enjoyed watching this

[@WYKLO]

KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAAA

[@penguinflames707]

Wait, that’s EM4 Where was Cerberus?

[@ByrneBaby]

Skipped! I did so much damage that I finished the phase before he could trigger the summon.

[@4g3nt06]

at 7 casts you no longer have a cast cooldown

[@ByrneBaby]

That makes sense and is nuts and I need to see it one day

[@mythcat1273]

How do you even do this i need like a guide or something

[@ByrneBaby]

Boon knowledge and a lot of luck. You choose your build before the run even starts and focus all your effort into getting and then buffing that build. The god keepsakes really help with this. I was personally going for a high level Glacial Glare, but kept getting the Beam itself on pom pickups. You can also keep your build "focused" by choosing non-boon rooms to keep your odds of pomming the boons you want high. The less boons, the better. I watched Haelian a bunch to get good at Hades, he's a speedrunner and drops tips a lot.

[@mythcat1273]

@@ByrneBaby how did you get so many bloodstones??

[@ByrneBaby]

@@mythcat1273 Chaos! They have +1 cast as a reward option, and I also had the Artemis Legendary Boon, which gives +2. I normally aim for 4 total, since Achilles' cast buff can only affect 4 at a time, but got lucky with two Chaos cast boons.

[@hiddenscorpiusXI]

Wait, how did You have 5 bloodstones with regenerating

[@ByrneBaby]

Artemis Legendary boon (+2) with two Chaos cast boons (+1 each), I got very lucky :)

[@hiddenscorpiusXI]

@@ByrneBaby well, that's insane.

@@hiddenscorpiusXI welcome to the broken zone its really broken now
