Truly divine







Yesterday - It was a race between Chiron and Hera but Chiron's lead was never overtaken. Surprisingly, Rama got last.

Today - We'll alternate between Duo Boons and Aspects for the upcoming few days.

Not as good as Artemis'. But Calculated Risk is actually super helpful whenever I get it so I think I'll go with that. HM to Merciful End.

Getting Stubborn Roots ups your chances of beating Hades by a lot, so I'm probably going to pick it. Merciful End is very nice and Parting Shot/Lightning Phalanx are good for cast builds.

Unshakable Mettle might be the worst duo. I think the only things that stun you are the hands in Tartarus and the jars against Hades?

I feel completely refreshed. Like I just put on fresh underwear on New Year's Day.

Despite Athena being a top-tier god, I'm really not excited by her duos overall. The exceptions are the cast boons - Parting Shot is a huge damage boost for cast builds and Lightning Phalanx is a nice upgrade to an already solid cast but honestly still a bit lackluster for a duo. So I guess I'm going Parting Shot - it kind of wins by default.

I have a soft spot for Stubborn Roots because it carried some runs when I was still learning and can also carry during VERY high heat, but on most normal runs I try to avoid it.

Merciful End is apparently used in speedruns? But I dunno, my brain is too small for that and Doom builds aren't my favorite anyways.

One of the furies (Tisiphone?) can stun you. That said it's still not great yeah, even though that jar attack sucks.

Stubborn Roots helped me a lot early, but once I started doing Extreme Measures where Hades casually throws out 50 damage hits I didn't get as much use out of it. Probably Calculated Risk for this one, though I've only gotten it a few times.

Calculated Risk is possibly my favorite boon in the game. It's almost too good.
