Hermes (Attack speed, extra Dashes, movement speed, movement speed damage bonus) Your second focus should be either Shadow Slash if you have Artemis' crit damage against armour boon, or Breaching Slash if you don't. You definitely want World Splitter for a massive increase in base damage, which is incompatible with Flurry Slash and Cruel Thrust so don't touch either of those if you still have a chance of getting World Splitter. If you're confident in winning the run, or just straight up haven't seen much of Artemis,Īres (Doom on something other than your attack, more doom damage as you restack doom, Aphrodite duo boon)Īthena (Deflect cast / special, exposed for the extra damage from your mirror if you have that, Call) The Stygian Blade is, in my opinion, more suited for tearing up mobs than it is for boss fights, as it offers only a single defensive option in the form of Daedalus upgrades, Cursed Slash, and we're ignoring Dash Nova cause it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage.Īphrodite (Attack, highest % that I know of, weak time + and weak damage bonus +)Īrtemis (More crit chance, more crit damage, Aphrodite duo boon, crit damage against armour) Most builds will focus around this because crits are absolutely busted. The first weapon Zagreus is capable of using, it is well suited towards heavy damage builds, with the best offensive aspect (in my opinion) being Nemesis, which gives you crit % chance on all damage for 3 seconds after using your special. I've pretty much lost all interest in Hades so what you see here is what you get, apologies on the off chance that someone actually wanted this to be finished, best of luck ladsįinally, please remember to check the terminology section below. I have nearly 100%'d Hades, and as a result, will most likely not be spending much more time on it, so I would love for the community to share their ideas for others to read here (Credit will obviously be applied for each build suggested)

This guide is still a WIP, so please let me know any ideas you have, as they would be greatly appreciated.
ZAGREUS HADES SWORD FREE
If you have suggestions, questions or otherwise want to talk to me, feel free to shoot me a message on the guide or just add me and ask.įinally, keep in mind that you will rarely get all Boons described in any build, as well as the Daedalus hammer upgrades, and these are just general outlines for powerful builds. The call is especially useful for the last boss (Full gauge is excellent survivability) There's probably gonna be minor spoilers so be ready for that.Īlso, Athena's call and dash are the best in the game in my opinion, so if you're stuck on options and they pop up, take them.

ZAGREUS HADES SWORD HOW TO
I don't claim to be good at the game, I'm just posting builds that work for me cause some weapons (shield, gun) are pains in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass to finish a run with if you don't know how to build it properly.

You can beat the game with any weapon with any build, and these builds are nothing more than paths on the way to getting better at the game) (DISCLAIMER: Any build is purely supplementary to good gameplay, these are just helpful synergy lists, as all weapons can perform well if you have enough experience with it.
