Board 8 > B8 Hadespinions Day 18: Favorite Malphon aspect

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yesterday - Stubborn Roots won! Well, auto-healing is pretty darn useful.

Today - Not my favorite weapon and I don't have a strong preference here. I used Talos the most though, it's useful for zoning.

All aspects are good for different reasons, even Zagreus. I like Talos because it gives some range to this weapon.

---

Talos followed by Gilgamesh because the look of the claws is fun. But even Zagreus is fun because I like dodging. I haven't really fucked with Demeter, the others are just more interesting to me personally, but some people swear by it.

And the Fists are probably my overall favorite weapon lol, they're just so fun in general

---

Was gonna go to bay for Gilgamesh but honestly last time I played them I found myself missing the speed of Talos. They are pretty fun though, probably my #2.

---

Talos is the best, Demeter is the most fun. Charge up and then get the BOOM damage.

---

I really like just spinning around clearing rooms with Talos.

Talos is great but Demeter utterly wrecks

I always use Talos here, the speed is a lot of fun. Gilgamesh is fine but it totally drops what makes Malphon my favorite weapon.

---

Gilgamesh is my pick here, mainly for the extra dashes rather than the maim status though. Talos is great fun too but I don't really understand how to use Demeter effectively.

Also I know this isn't really the topic for it but after days of trying I finally got my 32 heat clear!!

---

Grats Kenri! What kinda build did you use?

---

Thanks! My build wasn't anything special, bow with Triple Shot + companion Rib (meant to take Shady but it worked out) + Shattered Shackle, the idea being to not rely on boons so you get a bunch of free heat from Approval Process 2 and Underworld Customs. But I ended up getting Aphrodite on attack and swapped keepsakes to Pom Blossom and then the Acorn for Styx. Really it started as a terrible run, I burned all my death defiances by the end of Asphodel, but Patroclus saved me and then I played much better in Styx.

---

Just FYI: Day 12 on the wiki has the correct question (I assume, wasn't here for that) but the answers are in reference to Day 11. I don't know if there's any way of recovering that data, but I figured you'd want to know.

Oh, a pretty gutsy plan with the Shattered Shackle. Interesting. I think when I'll give a 32-heat run a real attempt I'll use the bow as well. I tried it a few times but it didn't work out yet.

Ah, thanks so much for letting me know! Thankfully Day 13 topic is still on this board due to the slow purge rate so I just took the data off that.
