Board 8 > B8 Hadespinions Day 22: Favorite Biome

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yesterday - Poseidon won, just barely, but we got some solid options in the mix.

Today - Ah yes, the rooms and dungeons we all hate and love. I think I gotta go with Asphodel, where I'm usually strong enough but the enemies are not that annoying yet.

....I don't think I like any of the biomes.

I guess I'll go with Styx because I think it's an interesting way to have a final biome. Also the sub-chambers are really fun to just wreck house in.

In terms of aesthetics, Elysium easily wins though.

I think I have to go with Styx for this one.

Tartarus is kinda boring. Asphodel annoys me with all the lava that kills my dashing. Elysium is a pain, what with the shields and the butterfly ball thing and those damned chariots.

Styx can be rough with the poison but at the same time I love the bite sized room and just...unleashing chaos and clearing them out in literally 2 seconds. Plus, the whole "push your luck" aspect of whether you should go for another corridor. I like that I can see all the rewards and really plan for how I want to finish my build before taking on Hades.

I'm gonna go with Elysium. As mentioned, the aesthetic is great. Mechanically, while it's obnoxious, all of the biomes have annoying mechanics to deal with. Elysium stands out because it feels very tough but fair. The danger of dealing with respawning enemies really keeps me on my toes in a way the other areas don't and there's a real consideration involved with taking Troves or Chaos boons. Tearing through Elysium happens less often then tearing through Styx but it's more satisfying to me as a result.
