Daedalus(hammer) upgrades are the most important and transformative. Think about how your boons go together and synergize. Builds matter.

GIVE ME A BUILD YOU FUCKING USELESS NOGLING

>>720640410 (OP)
This games pretty amazing and you do get to a point where you have a breakthrough on what upgrades to unlock. Always choose the hammer, no matter what. Keep in mind you can combine certain god powers together but they almost always have some hyper focused build you need to spec into so it's only there when you finally realize what you're doing.

It's a recurring problem among roguelikes. The final phase of the final boss being ten times harder than everything leading up to it. Save every fucking death defiance for that one phase and burn him down.

Im still not seeign builds. Are you guys legit mentally retarded? BUILDS!

Fists + Demeter fucks. I go for it every run. If you get Entropy, GG.

>>720640410 (OP)
Just do what every shitty play does: use the shield and play like a bitch, take 2 hours to complete a songle run, and claim you beat the game after clearing it once.

>60 attempts
git gud nigga

I will not buy it
I will not play it
I will not even pirate it
I am not interested in DEI

>>720640410 (OP)
Lmao I beat the main quest in 27 attempts. It's not even the end of the game btw.

>take 2 hours to complete a songle run
46 minutes with a very bad build for me.

OP, here's your 'build': use a spear. It's the most broken weapon in the game. Also bow is really nice if you're not a shitter and can kite.

I just beat it, you dumb fucks. And lo and behold, none of you were any help. You fuckign cuks.

And now they want me to beat it again. Ok, im done. Fuck this trash ass game. And fuck indie devs in general.

Thats the shit 2nd game full of cripples, a female uncle ruckus and all of em ugly as sin with one of the most unfunny and boring female protagonists. No one cares about that one. The 1st game was alright and least had some passion in it.

Understanding two things helped me finally get good at Hades:

1) you can't get hit. The game doesn't provide you with nearly enough healing to justify tanking damage, you need to prioritize dodging way more than you probably are.

2) you need to put flat damage boons on your faster attack button and percentage damage boons on your slower attack button. For example, Aphrodite's damage bonus boon is like +80%, when I first saw that I said "wow that's huge, I guess I just always want that" but on the wrong button it's pretty weak. The DPS differential with flat damage bonus on fast attacks and percentage damage bonus on slow attacks is gigantic.

Also, don't worry about rarity, just put good boons on a good button when they come up. You don't need a "build" from us, any weapon works with any gods, just follow point 2 above.

>>720640410 (OP)
focus less on dealing damage, and focus more on not taking any. even with a shitty build, you can always chip things to victory if you just dont get hit. figuring out how to make a "good build" and adapt to or manipulate the rng is complicated. if you havent figured it out by now, then you're probably hopeless. but either way, your FIRST step is learning how to not take damage.

Spear's mid-tier for being too hammer-dependent. The only top-tier is gun, with bow in second. Sword being the worst, obviously.

>>720645483
If you put this much effort into trying to fit in you could have beat the game sooner

>>720645483
Lmao get gud fag.
>And now they want me to beat it again
You need to beat it about 10 times in order to finish the main quest, and after that also about 40 times I think, with all the levels from Pact of Punishment.

Demeter cursed the world because her daughter went missing.

>>720649420
Only for 6 months tho

>>720646997
Wrong on all occasions, gun is the worst, crit sword deals huge amount of damage, and hammers are nice but it's the boons that win the game, not weapon updates.

just beat hades and waiting for hades 2 to be out of early access, what are similar games I can play in the mean time?
as far as rogue likes go, I have also played balatro and cult of the lamb and enjoyed both for different reasons

>>720640410 (OP)
iirc there was a gun build that dealt a shit ton of damage if you were full health or close to full, just spam from a safe distance. that's how I beat it the first time

>>720640782
Triple bomb + crit + all damage boosts to the bombs

>>720649719
Play the game this studio made before Pyre. I forget what it's called but the gameplay is the same.

>>720640410 (OP)
>pick shield
>git gud at timing attacks and dashes
>never get hit ever
>win every time
beat the pact without even touching the shield throw, just pick whatever gives you damage on whatever youre already doing. use your rerolls on hermes for extra dashes.
>60 attempts
if you arent getting to hades after like ten runs then you just arent built for the game, its easy as fuck

>>720640410 (OP)
This game can be dumb down to
-Single hit abilities scale better with % damage increase boons
-Multi-hit abilities scale better with base damage increase boons
-Always take Athena's dash, it's the best noob dash since it makes you invulnerable

With that you can easily learn the combat mechanics, discover synergies, have an easier time exploring new zones and complete your escape

>>720640410 (OP)
For me it was the fists -- they're great. But for the gun, get the hammer upgrade that makes it damage you but do huge damage in a bigger area. It wrecks everything.

>>720640410 (OP)
I got lucky and used the grenade launcher + size and damage upgrades that make it a nuke that murders bosses, after reaching Hades for the first time i used Demeter's boon that makes the cast the homing ice lasers to deal massive damage with minimal risk
