Spear with poseidon attack and rupture boons with triple strike and quick attack hammers is a really OP combination, you shove everything to a wall and dies within seconds without even being a hazard to you.
Only dowside is you can't push bosses but iirc there's a poseidon boon that gives you 40% bonus damage to bosses so it compensates.
Only thing I dislike about the spear is how spammy it ends up playing. Same thing with the sword, honestly. I prefer the other weapons because I feel like I'm not incentivized to spam the attack button with them
All of the weapons are perfectly viable and I rarely see anyone who "hates" any of the weapons, particularly the spear. At the ultra high, autistic level, spear might be the worst weapon in the game, but it's still completely viable
The voice acting is good, but there's so much fricking talking. I've started skipping through most of it, just because I can't be arsed anymore. Only exceptions are Meg and Nyx
yeah I love how dynamic the dialogue is but the way its delivered and the whole atmosphere of the game just feels like the devs think they are so fricking cool
like saying we are so much better than your favorite indie game please give us awards
I never got that feeling. More like they expected their game to stay fresh for 100+ hours, and so they wanted to make sure to have enough story and dialogue to cover all of that. I mean, if you actually want to 100% Hades, you have to beat the game 21 times per weapon, with heat from 0 to 20. It might actually take you 100+ hours to do so. I still haven't had a single opportunity to give out ambrosia, despite having 4 vials. There's no fricking way I'll even get close to finishing the game for real
Once you've beaten the game, you get access to the Pact of Punishment. This lets you add/remove additional challenges to your run, which count as Heat. Just like you unlock rewards the first time you kill a boss with each weapon normally, you do the same for each weapon on each heat level. And there's 20 heat levels. Thus 21 times per weapon for 100%
I'll bite. >look online
That was your mistake, the spear is one of the safest weapons in the game, and my most fun build is aspect of Hades with Artemis attack, literally clears rooms as soon as the enemy spawns
>egun >Rocket Bomb hammer >Cluster Bomb hammer >poseidon boons
this was by simulatenously the most broken, the most fun AND the most interesting build ive ever done in the game
theres a lot more beyond him. Most notably you unlock the extra difficulty mechanics on a per-run basis that you can fully choose, including upgraded versions of bosses
the ''main story'' only ends after you kill him numerous times, but ideally you're playing for the fun of unlocking aspects and trying boons rather than trying to reach the end.
One of the variants massively buffs the next shot after you manually reload
You can easily oneshot most enemies. It's my favorite build and how I beat 32 heat
Frickin snipe em from across the screen, even better with some aoe or piercing shots
Just avoid giving enemies shields
Zeus attack on gun melts entire screens in seconds, how is that not cutting it?
Try Dionysus then, it's easy to keep max stacks of hangover on something and there are duos to increase the max stacks and shorten the time between damage ticks.
Or if you're nuts you can get Ares attack and then desperately fish for that boon that lets you "stack" doom.

Made a big mistake there senpai, only opinions worth hearing are in person 99% of the time, mine included so take it as you will.
best post on fourchannel in ages
All the weapons are fun to use. People who hate specific ones are just shitters
Dunno, I've beat entire game with spear, people are morons
unlocked 3rd skelly statue (Don't know why there isn't a FRICKING ACHIEVMENT for it) with the spear.

For me? It's Exagryph
All the weapons are fine OP. Don't listen to online shitters.

I found the ultimate unga bunga moron build
Boy you forget our lord and savior crit, come to the green side where we hit for 5k damage sometimes and make a fool of anything that isn't EM4 Hades
For me its the Rama bow. i killed his final phase with 5-6 shouts in my EM6 run
EM whatnow is there something I'm missing because extreme measures only goes up to 4, unless you fat-fingered it
>set voice volume to 0%

Thanks for the tip anon from other hades thread!

21 times per weapon? what are you talking about.

I like spear too, but it's too reliant on hammer upgrades compared to the other weapons.
Better than sword, at least.
The vocal opinions are all min-max gay0ts.
You might have to hit 1 extra time every 100 hits to compensate but this triggers the autists.
I'll bite.

Spear is my favorite too but I think this game is overhyped. I bought it for 10 bucks and I feel that I paid too much.
theres literally nothing wrong with the spear. all weapons are very strong

>Cluster Bomb hammer
>poseidon boons
this was by simulatenously the most broken, the most fun AND the most interesting build ive ever done in the game
>>egun
meant to say exagryph
Artemis on special + Aphrodite main on that combo can one-shot bosses
Why does this game attract tons of trannies?
hot male characters
I don't like having to waste an input picking up my weapon.
So Hades killed me. When I kill him is there anything beyond him or that's the entire game?

But I mean new locations? Or did I see everything already?
homie you haven't even seen everything in Tartarus yet, you have no idea how much more there is to the game.
Wait until you fight el Thesus Blanco
every time i use the rifle, i try to build into the normal shots but i always inevitably end up purely relying on the bombs.
Is there any way to make the normal shot better? zeus boons alone dont seem to cut it
