Hades – How to Make a Build
Hades How to Make a Build – Build Types as well as Gods
Going through the game amongst a weird construct works, but it mightiness non hold upward the best agency to play. Like eating a bowl of cereal amongst a fork or fifty-fifty chopsticks, I hateful yep it works, but y'all mightiness hold upward struggling a petty to a greater extent than than y'all intend without realizing. Making smart choices mightiness hold upward the only matter separating y'all from a win.
The gamepedia or other steam guides are a nifty house to larn to a greater extent than nearly boons or condition effects. Personally I intend SouL’s guide is incredible travel for 1 individual as well as y'all should cheque it out. The gamepedia volition in all likelihood hold upward to a greater extent than familiar as well as expansive though.
So depending on which aspects of which weapons y'all like, I decided to split upward builds into 3 types:
Big hits, pocket-size hits, as well as condition effects. Keep inwards heed that perchance the sorting isn’t hence clear at times. Almost every god applies a condition effect, as well as gods tin add together a bunch of pocket-size hits to large hitting builds.
Build Types
Big hits similar critical strikes, or large Area of Effect specials, or Bomb Arrow builds are extremely satisfying, but normally slower as well as guide keep large intervals betwixt attacking again. These suck to a greater extent than against bosses, but brand most of the game experience easy. My favorite examples are Adamant Rail triple special, Critical Sword, or Bomb Arrow variants. Spear particular is ok, but lacking against bosses.
Small hits are the exact antithesis of large hitting builds (duh). Great unmarried target because of rapid attacks, but you’ll struggle a scrap to a greater extent than on troves or double god rooms. Works nifty amongst a lot of condition effects because you’ll apply them rattling often. Poison as well as electrical base of operations harm stack easily amongst pike or gun attacks. Artemis’ boon “Support Fire” is a crucial business office of these builds, adding 33-50% to a greater extent than harm only amongst that boon alone.
If y'all started a gun run, whose assault is base of operations 10 damage, as well as got back upward burn whose LOWEST boon degree gives xv damage, y'all got +150% harm correct there. Zeus’ boon “Lightning Strike” is only equally good. Gives 10 damage, but has an Area of Effect to other nearby enemies. Spear assault build, shield assault build, or gun assault builds jibe inwards here.
Status lawsuit builds are rattling deadening harm per minute compared to the others, but they’re SAFE. Thank y'all Supergiant Games for letting condition effects travel on bosses. Bosses tin drag on for a long time, as well as condition effects tin accept their fourth dimension to produce their work. You tin apply them whatever agency y'all like, although I prefer from long range. I intend the best builds are: doom particular amongst weak for shield/spear, poisonous substance amongst weak, or perchance fifty-fifty a revenge build.
The best boon to await for are Duo bonuses for the doom/weak “Curse of Longing” or poison/weak “Low Tolerance”. Revenge construct comes together amongst “Vengeful Mood”. Personally I intend Doom particular shield is 1 of the easiest builds. Apply doom amongst special, hence enshroud amongst Bullrush or dash away. Your particular deals only xv damage, but amongst doom hitting 50-100, y'all only boosted your special’s harm yesteryear 300%-600% but y'all withal guide keep the prophylactic playstyle of the shield as well as it industrial plant from range.
One of the crucial aspects to this construct is y'all acquire the “Privileged Status” perk from the mirror. It gives +50% harm on targets amongst 2 condition effects. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 brilliant X volition seem side yesteryear side to their wellness bar as well as you’ll know it’s working. Usually you’ll hold upward switching betwixt all your attacks to constantly apply the condition effects instead of 1 push clit similar the other builds.
Cast Build
As of straightaway relying on casts is non rattling feasible unless y'all have: Artemis’ “Quick Reload” or “Fully Loaded”,or are using “Blade Rift” or “Festive Fog” which driblet later a duration. I intend only 2 builds are feasible correct now: “Blade Rift” + “Vicious Cycle” + “Hunting Blades” or “Tipsy Shot” + “Scintillating Feast” + Any additional lightning modifiers. They both offering plenty harm for an entire run if y'all are lucky plenty to detect them, as well as hence become alone into survivability.
If your shape gets stuck inwards multiple enemies, you’re stuck amongst your lesser harm from your weapon, which is the primary argue I don’t intend casts are rattling expert correct now. Maybe if y'all went Poseidon Aspect of Sword, which dislodges bloodstones. I haven’t experimented much amongst it though, but going yesteryear mutual feel Artemis volition hold upward your god of alternative because many of her boons are shape related.
What Gods For What Build
So based on which construct y'all want, y'all desire to pick your gods as well as pick your boons carefully. You only guide keep a guide alternative as well as a express number. In general,
- Big hits construct should normally accept the next gods equally a priority:
- Artemis (for critical strike adventure on assault or special, or Pressure Points”)
- Aphrodite (for Duo amongst Artemis or survivability)
- Ares for “Battle Rage” or “Urge to Kill”
Usually role either Zagreus Sword, Zagreus Bow Explosive shot, or Adamant Rail Triple Bomb.
- Small hits should normally accept the next gods equally a priority:
- Artemis (for critical strike adventure or back upward fire)
- Zeus (for lightning attack)
- Dionysus (for poisonous substance attack)
- Athena (for deflect assault if y'all failed to detect the previous 2 gods), or Ares (for doom if y'all failed to detect whatever of the previous boons somehow as well as “Battle Rage” or “Urge to Kill”)
Small hitting weapons are normally pike assault builds, Adamant Rail Infinity Chamber or Spread Fire,
Status lawsuit builds should accept the next gods equally a priority:
- Ares or Dionysus (main harm condition effects)
- Aphrodite (for distich amongst either of them as well as survivability), as well as whatever split upward of Call ability. Your fights are going to final a long time, you’re in all likelihood going to acquire your telephone yell upward up several times during a boss fight. Revenge builds are a subset of condition lawsuit builds that NEED “Vengeful Mood”. I’ve made it travel similar once. It’s pretty expert if y'all guide keep plenty survivability.
Gods that are expert inwards whatever situation/build:
Hermes, Athena, Aphrodite. All of them hand some split upward of survival boost, or harm reduction.Quick Recovery, Greater Evasion, Greatest Reflex, Greater Haste, Second Wind, Bronze Skin, Sure Footing, the entire Weak condition effect, Different League, as well as Spent Spirit. Hermes is only nifty overall, he tin brand your attacks +X% faster, which is to a greater extent than harm output.
What Builds For What God
To hold upward honest, this is a meme section. You shouldn’t construct around 1 god, it almost never happens. But I already made a department nearly favorite weapons hence why not.
- Aphrodite: Status effect, but industrial plant amongst whatever construct because weak is actually good.
- Ares: Status effect, pocket-size hits
- Artemis: Big hits, pocket-size hits
- Athena: All rounder, but in all likelihood pocket-size hits for to a greater extent than oft deflections
- Dionysus: Status effect, pocket-size hits
- Hermes: Status effect, pocket-size hits, but nifty for whatever build
- Poseidon: Sword or Shield for knocking things into walls. Sorry dude. You’re similar 1 of the large 3 Greek gods of Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, but you’re the worst because y'all don’t hitting bosses amongst your knockback hence your construct is limited. And I abhor your call. Also needs 2 boons to apply rupture.
- Zeus: Small hits. NOT STATUS EFFECTS because y'all require 2 boons to detect jolted as well as doom is only ameliorate jolted inwards my opinion. You tin role jolted for “Privileged Status” I GUESS but it kinda sucks.
- Chaos: Big hits, pocket-size hits, normally based on which perk y'all took from them.
I’d similar to come across a hereafter gamemode where y'all ally amongst only 1 god as well as guide keep to acquire by followers of other gods inwards each seperate room, but perchance it’ll never happen.
