    I was doing over 2000 damage consistently with a single omega attack using aphrodite attack boon, the hammer that increases magic cost but makes omega attack deal 300% damage, and the aspect of artemis for the twin blades. I melted chronos within 2 minutes. It's even more insane since you can parry chronos' one shot and then deal well over 6000 damage by spamming riposte boosted omega attack. Every enemy in the game was being melted lmao.

    for the torch, you need a very specific build with hestia attack and demeter cast and a away to throw your cast infront of you. Then you just want lots of movement speed and attack speed to continuously hold down attack. I got my frist win this one and it was super cheese since you can just stand far away and spam your attack and cast at chronos

    Basically a chiron bow with an ability to backstab, paired with bonus backstab from melinoe aspect for even more damage.
    carried me through my first chronos clear, the fight lasted 3 minutes and I had like 1 upgraded arcana card and lost 0 dd's, definitely made the sister blades my favorite weapon so far.

    39:32 imo it depends on the path, coz if you're doing a staff run with a lot of omega moves you're probably building your hexes a lot faster (especially with hestia regen) and if you get like total eclipse it's absolutely worth building around that hex. Now I have taken the philosophy of building good tier 1s for most of the moveset for a lot of weapons instead of sticking to just one thing unlike in hades 1 so ymmv but i feel like hexes are in general way more exciting than call boons, and y'all should really try a hestia mana regen total eclipse build on the staff; the end point on total eclipse is amazing

    New challenge ideas:

    - hitless first run clears, same as before but hitless
    - SGG legacy challenge, play and beat all super giant games in order and beat the final boss as quick as can be done
    I havent played bastion, transistor nor pyre but these legacy challenges tend to be about finishing the game as quick as possible. Think soulsborne challenges like what ginomachino does for fromsoftware games :)
    Also:
    - hades II, Max upgrades speed run, max customization speed run, clear all bosses speed run, max relationship speed run, max keepsake speed run etc

    Smithy sprint is insane when u combo it with 1 instance of dmg negated while sprinting boon. Think it's from Hermes. After upgrading both boons I got to 500dmg with smithy sprint ( also had vent for another 400 dmg after 5 sec) and 2 instances of dmg negated while sprinting. This was my first build to get to chronos and I did his first phase in about 90sec then died during 2nd phase.

    This game is so damn fun. The first game I loved as well, but I would enjoy doing a run or two... maybe a handful at most and then taking a break. This one I just want to play for hours on end, there's so many ways to progress. I want to watch your newer videos too but I don't want to spoil the Chronos fight or the upstairs zone for myself. Also, I hate the feeling where you want to unlock the entire fated list but also want to have an OP build every run. I got hook knives one time so far, and it was a blast but I barely had any gods unlocked so it was pretty underwhelming.

    @abra_escaped Před měsícem

    Haven't played the game yet but from what I've seen it looks like compared to the first it's a lot easier to build a weapon with the intent of only using either the attack or special. In Hades 1 the weapons tend to encourage you to use both or just have one that's not great (shield/bow special not counting zeus/chiron) but here they both seem to be able to stand on their own much more. Like another comment said Hephaestus sounds good to put on a move you aren't planning to use much as just a thing to throw out once in a while as your other attack does the main dps
