Comment on Hades II Technical Test - Live Gameplay
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 months agoI’d say it’s enemies with large amounts of health/shields. Specifically I’m thinking of:
- those skeletons in Asphodel that jump around and throw stuff
- all the regenerating dudes in Elysium
- big rats and satyrs in the last one
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.
