What's your favorite weapon?

The Uninstall Wizard

any good sex mod?

Circe staff is busted as hell.

>>723259553 (OP)
Axe feels the most satisfying but it's total ass for almost all the rivals fights, I probably get the best runs with the knives since the special is always solid for everything and because boons favor fast weapons so heavily.

>>723259553 (OP)
i love the dual wands due to the fast attack speed. the axe grew on me. i thought it was shit at first but it's busted

Had this weird as fuck beach ball run.

>>723260082
>475 damage from Typhon

There is never a reason to do anything but normal attack. I only do casts just so I can waste magic to do my hexes.

>>723260258
Health is a resource. I bum rush the last phase to get it done as quickly as possible.

>>723259940
this is the kind of chubby i crave, but irl most women like that have a gut worse than a 45yo football fan

>>723260708
You need really convenient genetics to have your fat distribution to work like that.

>>723260082
Me too but it can't compete with anubis because omega attack is very wacky on it but it's up there.
It does give you some time to run around with the ball between attacks. Better than one might assume.

Medea skull

>>723261995
forgot pic

>>723262124
Why are you omega attacking with medea skull?

>>723262446
and then get this so you don't run out of mp

>>723262714
I prefer poseidon gain.

>>723262446
I see

>>723259940
That thing absolutely fucks if you have the air quality infusion

Did they ever explain how Chronos found the 3 fates? So much emphasis was put onto him interrogating Hades, and I don't remember another mention after that.

Collection completed.

I will never understand how these things keep happening in games.

>>723266428
What's that? I never got that.

>>723266251
He asked Chaos about it

>>723266657
Funkopops™ for the unseen once you bonded with them.

>>723266608
>bring a specific keepsake to Arachne

I wanna play this, i really do, but it all just seems too much to jump into. How much is this like the first game? I got like 20 hours into it and dropped it cause if you wanted to have even a remotely good run you had to pick the right weapon, with the right aspect, with the right ability, pray you get the right boons, hope your keepsake matched or helped, pray rng gave you good rolls, and dash around like a fucking crack addled adhd child. And after all that a run could fail at any time to random bullshit.

>>723266918
You need to bring Athenas keepsake to her, twice of course, so they can talk to each other about her curse.

>>723267059
>dash around like a fucking crack addled adhd child
the only accurate assessment in this post. 2 has sprint, so that issue is resolved.

>>723259553 (OP)
Circe is so broken. Just literally take any cast boons.

>>723266608
I was fully on Arachne side, fuck them gods, but then, Athena hit me with the triple death defiance restore on a doomed run.
Soo hail the gods.

for me, it was the umbral flames moros version. with any mana regen boon you're just constantly exploding everything around. trigger the special and just keep attack pressed and you win, the other boons don't seem to matter. once i figured this out i had almost no unsuccessful runs.

>>723259940
fuck me that's ugly

>>723268248
The explosion uses your attack or special boon effects?

>>723267059
the base game is not hard. You can beat it with almost any weapon+boon combination, no need to get lucky with good rng. And yeah, good luck obviously helps, but when you fail, it's usually a skill issue

>best mana regen in the game
>great boons on their own for attack and special, while also scaling amazingly with her other support boons
>slow cooker makes investing solely in her amazing
>duos give her massive burst
>flash fry can trivialise crowds of enemies
>fire away can melt enemies by just stalling out in your cast
Is she the absolute GOAT?

>>723268937
i played 2 years ago when it first hit EA, it took me over 30 hours just to get to chronos and another 10 to beat him. now i find out he is just a fucking midboss and that is just the first fourth? of the game. i fucking suck at these games i fully admit that, saying any weapon combo can win just doesnt work for me

>>723267306
oh dont give me that, i remember back in the first one if you werent playing divin dash or whatever the fuck it was then you were either doing a meme build or actively wasting your time.

>>723267059
It's easier than the first game IMO
And you don't have a double dash. The enemy attacks are more fair and require better timing or for you to sprint instead of just dashing.

>I'm still squabbling with narcissus
>he still refuses to give me rewards
Little fucker

>>723259553 (OP)
Black Coat is the coolest
Axe is the most fun
I always perform the best with the skull
The Pan aspect of the blades is extremely satisfying to use.
Spamming Omega attacks in rapid succession with the torches is awesome.
But somehow the staff remains my favourite. Melinoe's aspect of it too.

>>723262446
I love that hammer upgrade.
I just really wish that it would charge your hexes too. If you've got this hammer upgrade and a moon hex, you'll pretty much never be able to use the hex because all your mana will go towards omega attacks whenever you pick them up, but none will contribute to charging your hex.

>>723269573
>start with her amulet to do a run focused on hestia
>never shows up again after the first guaranteed boon
and it was not just once, fuck her

I just wanted to finish up the cheevos and then try myself on some higher fear for a couple of days before putting the game to rest but man some of these achievements are a slog for no reason.

>>723268287
shut up bitch

>>723273293
Every time I have a build that does just a bit of fire damage the faster rate boon shows up.
Every time I have a mega scorch build that easily builds 999 the boon is nowhere to be seen.

>>723259553 (OP)
For me its Skull > Coat > Sister blades > Umbral flames > Staff >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Axe

you dont know how much i hate the axe

Important question, can the gauntlet missile weapon thing build around missile spam? I dont care if its good, can you do it?

>>723273820
Sure it's a multihit and range. Just go in melee for curse application.

>>723259940
So, she is full on into bestiality, right?

Or does she just like making the pigs watch while she gets herself off, considering they're all men that she turned into pigs cause she's meant to be an evil bitch?

>>723273820
I've never had a run with it that wasn't missile spam, I think its got more special related hammer upgrades than attack ones and the omega special is already way faster than the omega attack.

Cutie alert!

>>723274369
Do they explain why being a witch apparently means you have to turn one of your arms transparent green?

>>723274474
She blew her own arm off while doing an incantation that was too advanced for her.

>>723259553 (OP)
I won my second ever time using the skull and my first ever time using black coat, so those two feel the best to me.

>>723274369
Artstyle reminds of something. Like it's traced from a manga page or something.

>>723259553 (OP)
Is this game at least as fun as the original?

>>723275257
It’s more fun
More variety, 2 paths rather than 1, feels more balanced and less spammy

>>723275257
Hades 1 was a 9/10 for me
2 is more of 7/10 for me

>>723275257
It's funner

>>723274095
she makes you into a pig and there's no sex

>>723259940
This is vile. Good lord.

>>723275257
You can more easily set up runs, create synergies, etc. There are a larger variety of playstyles and things that just work together. That said, the surrounding pieces are weaker than the first game.

>>723259553 (OP)
What's so great about the skulls? So far, it's a nuisance having to either wait for them to recall or go out of my way to reach them just to attack 4 times again.

>>723277743
They do pretty insane burst damage, especially with the boon that triggers the omega on pickup

>>723277743
Your skulls come back when you use your special so you don't have to wait or reach them, just blast away, special parallel to your target and blast again.

>>723277736
>the surrounding pieces
Teh what?

>>723275439
>>723277736
>variety
What variety? The only variety is here because every single thing is even more homogenized than the first game.
Of course everything goes together because nothing does anything unique.
99% boons do nothing for your play-style literally doesn't matter what duos, legendaries or attacks/special you have. You'll always do the same thing.
90% of hammers don't even do anything any more besides change some stats around.
Casts are all the same.
Even on a BASE level things like poseidon hardly push enemies around any more. That would be too wild for this game.

At least in Hades 1 even the most boring vanilla boon from a god makes me change my playstyle a little.

>>723277743
Medea Aspect, isn't a ranged weapon, it's a "dash" weapon. You load 1-2 skulls, special into an opponent to blow your load, load 1-2 skulls, special into an opponent to coom all over them while picking up the first 2 skulls. Repeat.

>>723277481
Low t

THIS is how casting builds could be. Not plopping down your little double circle do nothing curse applicator circe BULLSHIT.
WE USED TO HAVE SOUL HERE

Hades 2 could NEVER.

>>723273429
You're just too distracted by the tits to realize how hideous she is.

Can't even draw a fat schlong in Hades 2, can you?

>>723259553 (OP)
Axe, easily. It's the only one where every basic and omega move is good and feels satisfying.
I haven't tried any of the hidden aspects -- idk if they change the movesets.

>>723278804
The hidden aspect is my favourite for almost all the aspects.

>>723278190
Story, setpieces, I would argue bosses as well.

>>723278214
Aspects themselves create different runs. You're correct that boons tend to be more similar in that there are just far more support boons or they are more subtle in their nature (up close damage proc, explosion, DOT). Hammer is more or less the same as first game. That said, you are still severely overstating or misremembering just how crayzay boons were or were not in the first game. Not every boon was >>723278563
The majority are very, very similar to ones which exist in 2.

I'm not sure whether I should love the Trials for showing how fun it can be when you get all the combo pieces for a single god or absolutely hate them because that shit never happens in a regular run.

>>723277743
Full charged special fucks and should be used after unloading your skulls into someone.

or take the auto-return hammer and never worry about ammo again.

You guys don't actually enjoy playing the torches, right?

>>723280489
so many good combos for torches if you can get the fast omega attack + any good omega boons. ofc you need the mana regen to keep it up

>>723280489
torches are literally the braindead vampire survivors spammy weapon

hades is a very spammy grindy game so of course i'm going to use them
