why are these faggots easier with extreme measures

Because fuckboy’s shield isn’t up until he leaves his chariot

IDK about easier, but the other user is correct.
Fuck knuckle losing his shield and spear turns him into a nothing with easy to avoid mortars.
Bull becomes a real bitch though with shock waves abd shit.

Because he lost the spear toss which did more damage, and replaced it with a series of easy to dodge swipes and mortars.
Further cementing that Daedalus did this all as a joke.

Got this game during Halloween Sale. Damn is it addicting. Anyway, favorite gods and builds, guys? My favorite so far is Dionysus, Dude is absolutely chill and has surprisingly good synergy with others.

The Zeus shield is turning into one of my favorite weapons
>stacking doom on special
Now this was some fun.

I’ve been playing for like 50 hours or so. Really love this game.

I think the single thing they could do to improve runs is add more duo boons. Maybe a cast modification for every duo AND some other thing. Help make each gods power more scalable.

Poseidon builds are usually fun. It's always satisfying to pinball machine the later levels when you get enough boons.

Dionysus fucks, though. My first Beowulf shield run had Dio cast with two Chaos boosts so a fully charged attack was an AOE room melter.

i like dionysus with the second upgrade of the bow, it auto targets with all the shots, giving them full stacks, if they're hit with your attack, if ur attack does doom dammage, and special does hangover, tons of dot dammage.

how do damage? i dont think i've ever had a build that would complete elysium in 5 min. i see vids of people melting bosses in like 15 seconds or less without companions, whats the secret?

Sword, two of the hammer boons, the one where you attack fast by holding click, and the one where you lose life to regain health per hit. Immortality achieved.

Extreme Measures Aseterius used to kick the shit out of me depending on what weapon I was using. But Theseus is more manageable because he's always forecasting his attacks so you just need to keep moving out of the red zone.

I think Artemis is either the best or worst depending on how many times you manage to find her. Just having one boon that increases crit rate by 2% or something is nothing, but if you manage to pair it with a fast weapon, a base crit attack, and the ability to mark nearby foes for extra crit susceptibility, than you can start mowing everything down.

Wouldn't call it my favorite, but arthur sword + athena attack buff turns the game into Greek baseball and it's goddamn hilarious.

Does Demeter's beam actually synergizes with any weapon?

Achilles spear

Isnt this the game where they thought that the ancient greek gods would be a bunch of greasy semites and when they turned out to be blue eyed blond they got triggered and made them all niggers?

no
now stop shitposting, nigger faggot

Would the entire cast get damage buff or would 4 ticks from a single beam?

I fucking love Papa Primordial Chaos, he's actually pretty kawaii once he stops being so cryptic when you first meet him

Entire cast.

His prophecy of "just take my egg to the final fight for shits and giggles" was pretty amusing.

>he

>hey try doing this
>it won't help you but it might be funny
>laughs when you beat hades

>60% chance that I'll lose one or two Death Defiances against Theseus
>99% chance that I won't be able to beat Hades if I don't face him with 3 Death Defiances
Fuck I wish I could git gud. Should I just invest harder in Aspects? I've got like 10 titan blood because I never know what to fully go for.

>try to do a 32 heat run
>literally get zero legendary and duo boons
might as well pick Underworld Customs and Approval Process for my punishment with this shit

hey is getting skelly's challenges worth? i did the first, second and third seem absurd

Demeter shows up later, she has some awesome boons, especially when you add decay on top of chill. Adamant Rail with chill on attack and the decay boon is awesome, just run around and hit everything once, then watch everything slowly die

im with you user. i hit theseus with 3 DD constantly and always end up losing 2 unless i get extremely lucky with boons, which has been maybe 2 or 3 times. that fight always kills my motivation

Is the dog a 'companion' and how do I get him
I gave the little fuck three bottles of the super good stuff. Nada.

I don't have ANY companions yet

yeah, invest in aspects, anything but the Zagreus aspects. They can change how the weapons handle in ways that can make it feel better to play with, depending on how you play

Keep giving him it

zagreous spear aspect is the best out of the three i think, but how to get the fourth aspects unlocked?

Zag Twin Fist with Hermes feather and you can be like pic related.
Hestia Rail for sniping, shoot once, dodge, reload, shoot.
Or just use shield, pray that you get bull rush from hammer and then just spam that shit.

He is a companion, but not yours..

Have to invest 5 Titan Blood into 5 different weapons that are not Aspect of Zaggy. After that you just wait until a certain NPC tells you how to unlock it.

Honestly, I use the Zag gun
Hate walking into my own bombs, Lucifer I'm sure is great but ehhhhh, and the first shot buff feels pretty meh

you invest five titan blood into any weapon and then a character can give you the activation phrase for the secret aspect
the spear's npc is Achilles

Fourth spear is the first 4th aspect you get really. Achilles will tell you to get it eventually and it is just handed to you.
it sucks

I'm getting pretty fond of the Aspect of Achilles, I was pretty retarded to not notice that you launch it further the longer you hold Q
