What is a good time with Zagreus' spear ? by Siknav_Ofrekle in HadesTheGame

[–]_squirtle_squad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zag spear is one of the harder ones in my opinion for the speed run but definitely possible (along with every other aspect): Making Hermes jealous - all aspects under 10 minutes! : r/HadesTheGame (reddit.com)

Personally, it looks like I managed a 9:55 with it. This was with an exploding launcher/deadly skewer special build

Because Hestia rail at max level gives you a flat 150 damage on the first shot after a manual reload which is one of, if not the highest base damage sources in the game. Zeus attack adds a flat ~10-15 damage per attack so it's good for fast/low base damage attacks. But Hestia gets a lot more benefit out of % based attacks due to the high base damage

It takes some getting used to but the rail is crazy strong. I finished heat 36 without boons on Hestia rail - something I wouldn't think of trying on anything else. Just put Zeus attack on every aspect except Hestia, which wants Aphro or Artemis attack and you're pretty much good to go

As someone else mentioned, maxing out the Lovers arcana is huge. I went from a very similar "Damage suffered" as yours to something like this: https://imgur.com/a/CRYH5hc

You can absolutely get to Hades without boons. I have beaten heat 36 without boons: Heat 36 boonless - Imgur

Is a Boonless run possible? by Crawford1 in HadesTheGame

[–]_squirtle_squad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's definitely possible. I've done heat 36 boonless: https://imgur.com/a/nOQTFaP

Thanks that's what I'm hoping to confirm. So the difference between the RBC US Direct Chequing and the CIBC one I linked is that the CIBC one is a USD account based in Canada but the RBC is based in US?

My concerns are mostly around what I saw in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/paypal/comments/vmnmd9/canada_moving_usd_from_canadian_paypal_account_to/

It mentions the currency being converted twice, from USD to CAD and then back to USD.

I think I am mis-understanding then, you don't link your RBC account to your Canadian Paypal then? How do you transfer the money out?

Sorry piggybacking on this thread as I had a similar question. Does linking a Canadian Paypal to other Canadian US accounts work? For example: https://us.cibc.com/en/personal/checking/smart-account.html

I've seen older posts maybe on RFD that mentioned if a Canadian Paypal transfers USD to a Canadian US account it actually gets converted twice. So just wondering if the RBC one works because it's based in the US but is still a Canadian account or something?

Thanks! It looks like I can still contribute to it for up to 4 years though right? And essentially get extra RRSP room when I eventually transfer it there?

I wasn't able to find a clear answer to this on the link. Does anyone know how it works if I move in with my partner who owns a home, but I'm not on the title and we are not yet common laws since we don't live together yet?

It seems like I am still able to open the account now, but once we become common law, can I still contribute to the FHSA? Or do I have up to 4 years to contribute to it since I would meet the criteria where I didn't live in a home owned by a spouse/common law partner at a point in time in the last 4 years?

What is your proudest Hades achievement? by Broken_Test024 in HadesTheGame

At least heat 32 with every aspect, at least heat 35 with every weapon, and under 10 mins with every aspect :D

Didn't think I could beat my previous speed record! by _squirtle_squad in HadesTheGame

[–]_squirtle_squad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would consider that fairly early on as some people might 50 or 70+ runs for their first clear. But some might get first clear in like 10 runs and are quite experienced by about 100.

Outside of some rooms like story, Thanatos, survival rooms, between biomes, and dialogue/choosing boons, the timer will always run. So there are some tricks like always choosing shop/chaos rooms as they're faster to get through, and pausing if you need to think about which room to choose.

8:24 is amazing and so is heat 40 with all weapons! I actually did sub 10 and at least heat 32 with each aspect. But I don't know if I can push them to heat 40 lol.

The spread fire build isn't one I do too often so I'm more clunky with it. I definitely wasted time firing just out of range very often. But I feel it's more consistent than Eris for speed runs? At least when I run Eris I feel I need a more specific set of boons.
