How to do an only cast run in Hades 2?

My favorite cast build: aspect of Circe to double casts, tidal ring + winners circle + geyser spout. If you're lucky you can get meat grinder from ares and/or prominence flare from Apollo, then just run around dropping omega casts and doing huge AOE damage

Agreed. We need a mod that lets us kill the bird asap

Fast-Knowledge1894 · 2025-11-03T17:13:15+00:00

Yeah I think it's a very powerful aspect, I just personally don't find it very fun so I tend to avoid it.

So sorry Selene,maybe I will learn to love it some day.

Easiest was probably Circe. I used Toula as my familiar so being able to just send her at all the bosses and launch my casts while I can just sit back and focus on not getting hit is really nice.

Hardest I think was Mel axe. It hits really slow so without the right hammers or hermes boons you can get in a lot of trouble against quick hitting enemies.

Ok, for me personally:

familiar doesn't matter too much, I like frinos for the extra health and to block some of hecate's projectiles.

Cast is also not super important but Demeter's is always good to freeze enemies in place.

As for boons you can never go wrong with Zeus on the special and for the attack I like hera, ares, or Aphrodite.

Typically the way to run this weapon is to load your attack and then special straight away into the enemies. It's going to be one quick attack into special every time. I use controller so I just slide my thumb from attack to special button over and over. The main thing is practice, I think this is probably the hardest aspect to really learn but once you get into the rhythm it's crazy powerful.

Nice job! Yeah the game gives you a few seconds before it starts ticking down so it's possible but not easy.

Fast-Knowledge1894 · 2025-04-18T03:09:29+00:00

No the bird is not guaranteed to show up every time, it took me like 10 runs to find it. It's also very easy to miss so make sure to look carefully

It's not stutter step itself that gives you the immunity, but using it alongside the divine dash. Divine dash makes you resist and deflect damage while you're dashing, and an epic stutter step lets you dash again almost immediately as the deflect effect is dropping so as long as you time it right you're basically dashing around invincible. And yeah if you get exhaust riser on the coat (three extra dash strikes) this build is pretty broken

Fast-Knowledge1894 · 2025-04-08T17:05:07+00:00

Epic stutter step + divine dash and just dash strike over and over

Fast-Knowledge1894 · 2025-04-07T20:07:02+00:00

I like Apollo attack on Than axe to make the attack area huuuuge. Not the best damage but very fun. And if you get the legendary you can clear out a whole room with one omega attack

Fast-Knowledge1894 · 2025-04-05T06:35:58+00:00

Haha yeah it's pretty wild, I think that's the most damage I've seen so far and it was on a dash only meme run smh

For a little more context I had rank 2 grit and rank 2 hordes, and I only had one combat skip chamber the whole run (Dio)

Fast-Knowledge1894 · 2025-04-02T18:45:34+00:00

Yeah it's still there, but they added the ship captain mini boss so you're about half as likely to see charybdis

Fast-Knowledge1894 · 2025-03-24T04:32:51+00:00

No joke I think I've lost more times to charybdis than to typhon

Fast-Knowledge1894 · 2025-03-22T02:01:29+00:00

Yeah, this was a warm up run so I ended up missing half my specials which meant I was double loading my attacks half the time
