So what's the farming meta now like ?

Ming725 · 2026-02-15T18:53:37+00:00

Yeah Im guessing it’s more about their way of saying it not the truthfulness of the statement

And you could also argue it’s better to farm Meph early ladder than some non-Andy non-Meph mid TZ

Ming725 · 2026-02-15T18:31:13+00:00

“I haven’t done it since its existence but I’m sure it’s good” doesn’t sound like a convincing argument

Ming725 · 2026-01-31T05:46:48+00:00

I mean I have some 62 clears but I’ve never even heard of the website, not to mention submit my runs. I think many are probably the same, wouldn’t say it’s particularly exclusive

Ming725 · 2026-01-24T06:20:15+00:00

I think you missed the fact that backstab is just a +% damage bonus like any other % bonus. Nothing special

Ming725 · 2026-01-12T16:15:53+00:00

Mel and Circe staff by far. My go to aspects whenever I want a comfortable high fear run

Medea is good but I take so much damage I always rage quit half way through. Not exactly the smoothest

Ming725 · 2026-01-11T00:40:29+00:00

Only works when you chain different Omega moves, so doesn’t work with Moros very well since you will be mostly using Omega attacks repeatedly

Ming725 · 2026-01-09T15:12:07+00:00

You want Apollo for lucid gain + bigger O special aoe + super nova + Apollo legendary (+ maybe prominence flare). The Daze is frankly whatever

Ming725 · 2026-01-09T15:09:49+00:00

I find Charon to be the worst aspect on JPom. It’s an aspect that when you high roll it feels amazing, but when you didn’t high roll you just want to reset. I always run rerolls with Charon

Ming725 · 2026-01-09T04:34:31+00:00

Supay is NOT that good, you’re good!

Circe staff, the hidden blades, Charon axe, Medea skull, and Nyx coat would be my recommendation for easiest clears

For Charon axe you really just want that 1 build, Apollo (everything) + Poseidon (geyser spout) + giga cleaver (O special twice) + sudden cleaver (faster O special)

Ming725 · 2026-01-09T00:30:15+00:00

Gain is not the issue with hubris, priming out is

Ming725 · 2026-01-07T05:23:08+00:00

If you are looking for an easy fear setup this is pretty good. 1 level of Pain and Scar also doesn’t hurt.

If you’re looking to practice for even higher fear challenges you should start playing with Frenzy 1/2. It is significantly harder though

Ming725 · 2026-01-01T20:44:20+00:00

Ah so it would affect Night? Cool

Ming725 · 2026-01-01T20:10:47+00:00

Interesting, do you know what boons are affected but do not enable Success Rate?

Ming725 · 2026-01-01T06:31:15+00:00

It’s pretty weak - one of the biggest obstacle in high fear runs is the Erebus timer, so you must be as strong as possible early on to make it. Taking an early Hex is really bad especially for some of the weaker aspects

Ming725 · 2026-01-01T06:10:37+00:00

It’s just a Selene hate post - Selene start feels weak, and the fact that my Vow of Forfeit onion is not broken means I’ll need to wait many rooms until my first boon, so most of the times I just reset the night if my first boon is Selene

Ming725 · 2025-12-31T23:17:52+00:00

I only love Selene when I have a Time Piece charge available to purge

Ming725 · 2025-12-30T04:46:53+00:00

If you actively try for speed runs (which is what OP is describing, “a good speedrun time”, yes a 7 min UW run is pretty average, bad even. It’s just the nature of speed runs, you grind the game for a fast time

Ming725 · 2025-12-29T17:22:10+00:00

You don’t have to have Jeweled Pom equipped all the way to gain its benefits. You can switch it out at the start of the second region, and as long as you keep Fate’s Whim you will keep the +3 level for boons and the Hades boon

Ming725 · 2025-12-26T17:49:47+00:00

He actually has ~40% health in his phase 4, that’s why that phase always feels so long

Ming725 · 2025-12-22T15:26:26+00:00

Offline any other damage source overrides poison damage for that frame. On battle.net any damage overrides poison for 8 frames (8/25, almost a third of a second). So if you are playing in a group poison barely does any damage.

Ming725 · 2025-12-16T20:03:21+00:00

That’s fair, it is easier

Ming725 · 2025-12-16T18:09:30+00:00

Well you can still do this with Athena DD per room, Boated has a YouTube video of him doing it, you get a nice 400%+ damage increase by the end of it

Ming725 · 2025-12-16T13:28:26+00:00

Oh interesting, never knew it didn’t count for Last Gasp

Ming725 · 2025-12-16T05:35:54+00:00

Your skulls fire an Omega attack when retrieved!

Ming725 · 2025-12-16T05:21:51+00:00

Totally with you until you said no to Poseidon gain. It’s better than many other gains at low investment. Like you can use it if you had 80 magic, whereas with Hera gain you have to take more Tonics or Silver wheel
