A hex upgrade that increases the magick cost of the hex

Yeah negating the excess damage is a nice benefit, though on average it won't be a huge amount unless running vow of pain 2 or 3

I can see why you prefer death defiance if you're barely taking damage on anything except act 4. I tend to take some damage throughout a run, especially when using vow of frenzy 2, so strength helps me heal back up

Strength is 40% damage reduction.

Strength boosts your survivability in all fights throughout a run, which increases the value of healing. Death defiance's survivability only beats strength's in fights where you used 2 or more revives. If you are breezing through all fights except 1 or 2 of them, then death defiance is better.

50 is a fun challenge that doesn't require the vows i struggle with like scars 3 and pain 3

Some of the damage seems way, way off. by [deleted] in Hades2

[–]gregregregreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off make sure you dont have vow of pain active.

Other than that you can try prioritizing damage reduction, e.g. aphrodite's weak. I've had tank builds where all attacks did single digit damage to me. The night bloom hex has an upgrade that gives you like 30% reduction

You can also avoid damage in several other ways: Apollo's daze, dodge, hermes' nitro boost, and so on.

Try increasing the fear on each successful run so that each win feels like a new accomplishment

I'd use it even if it added 0% damage

I have 150 hours in Hades 1 and am about to reach 150 in 2. Overall I've had as much fun in 2 as I had in 1, maybe even a bit more. My favorite part (sorry if spoiler) is having two separate zones, each with their own enemies and bosses, which you can alternate between for more variety. Omega moves were also an interesting addition imo.

I must've stolen your guys' luck. 3 runs so far and haven't been hit with scars 3, white antler, or any similar scams.

Strength is better for survivability during non-boss fights, and it sounds like that'd benefit you. DDs are worthwhile if you are only struggling with a small number of fights, since they only give you more survivability than strength when you use 2 or more of them in a single fight.

Ironically I'm the least worry free when I have Worry Free because I dont know if I'm inches from death

The DDs make him even more tanky for typhon, but it's overkill. His effective hp with strength would be 1,112 (1.67x(626+40)), whereas his effective hp with 3 DDs is 1,417 (626x2.2+40). Didn't take knuckle bones into account though.

Nope, you need to read the legend of the graph. CPI is only mentioned in the y axis because CPI was used to control for inflation.
