Comment on Hades II Technical Test - Live Gameplay
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 months agoAny specific enemies you have particular trouble with? I usually don’t run with tight deadline but have noticed that strategy for specific enemies can make a big difference in how easy and quick they are to take down.
And in general, I’ve noticed you tend to get better results dashing towards things rather than away from them. It’s even better with Athena’s dash boon.

I’d say it’s enemies with large amounts of health/shields. Specifically I’m thinking of:
For example, I had a run with the bow w/ homing special and Ares boon on special. Every regenerating dude in Elysium felt like at least ~6-8 procs of Doom (even with backstabs etc).
It just keeps getting slower and slower. I’ve tried using the butterfly to increase damage slightly, but that doesn’t seem to be enough.

Ah, yeah the bow is one of my weaker weapons in that game.
One suggestion is to try Poseidon’s main attack boon as that knockback will allow you to stun lock armoured enemies. But personally, I prefer the weapons with faster attacks.

Thank you for the tips! I don’t know if I just got very lucky or if your tips helped me play more aggressively - but I managed to win 5 runs yesterday and finished the main quest!

Awesome, congrats!
I played a couple of runs and it reminded me of another tip that might help even more: the secondary damage boons are where you get huge damage boosts. Like the rip current one from Poseidon and extra damage to bosses from knockback boons. Comboing your boons is huge, especially when you can combo into legendaries or duos.
