I can't believe Freezing Vortex and Cold Embrace made it all the way into the final game. Just what I need, a cast that is smaller, slower, pushes my enemies away instead of damaging them and a cast that fires at me instead of my enemies.
Cold Embrace is fine honestly, the main problem is that Crystal Clarity exists and is superior. It's definitely the more interesting boon of the two, CC is just set and forget.
Idk what they were thinking with Freezing Vortex tho
Enemies are too erratic for Cold Embrace to be effective, you'll spend more time trying to position yourself instead of actually damaging enemies, It's awful.
Cold Embrace feels great against bosses, especially with Athena’s call. Otherwise it’s a bit odd but still manageable imo.
Best of all time? Whoa! I guess I didn’t realize those were that good.
But what about Hunting Blades? Sea Storm? Smoldering Air?
Some of the [Superlative Not Found] boons of all time.
They mean those boons suck and they're right to say it. Cold embrace could work with infernal soul if both your main attacks sucked a lot for some reason
They are just niche in how you use them, they still have use.
Vortex and Embrace are still good.
Artemis just because she always makes me feel a type of way
Real
Accurate.
Just like the cast
Oh yea. She be makin me feel some feelings I feel as well.
Dionysus! Especialy since you can lob it on Hades while hiding from his laser, or if you duo with Demeter it becomes an instant range bomb!
Same,his cast is just so versatile especially with the duo's and the stun.
It’s a hard choice but… Dio.
He’s already my favourite but it does great burst dmg and has cc.
Scintillating Feast and Static Discharge or Ice Wine and Killing Freeze. Good times.
And good enough to front a cast build alone too. Maybe just 1 extra bloodstone though
Ohh yea. You gotta get the angle just right, but when you do it’s so satisfying. Same with the Rail’s bomb 👍🏻
I'm not sure if it's the best functionally but I have the most pure fun with it, and it's good with most builds.
Zeus (especially if jolted is at play) room killer
Ares (especially with both Artemis-Ares and Artemis-Poseidon duo)
Demeter (with chill at play, along with Artemis-Demeter, and Artemis-Poseidon duo)
Poseidon in styx
play some pinball with those satyrs
Hell yea. Screw those guys.
It seems really unpopular, but I love Crush shot. You can fire it in a way that it deals damage and applies weak, but doesn't lodge into the enemy if you want to immediately puck it up or leave it there for lightning rod. You can also lodge it if you want. It's quick. If I have Ravenous Will, it's easy to unload all of my casts in the corner somewhere and get that delicious damage reduction and damage buff. The damage modifier is really high and immediately applies a curse. I really love it.
Artemis is usually my go to so that I can get her duo boons.
dionysus (duo with demeter and zeus), demeter (duo with artemis)
BEAM is best!
I love Ice Wine too because it does so much damage.
Whoa a beam lover 👍🏻
Dionysus! The amount of damage is insane especially with the duos between Demeter and Zeus, plus the stun is amazing to have. So far every run I've won has been with Dio cast and ice wine.
True Shot. With chances for Mirage Shot and Fully Loaded
Artemis cus Big Damage GO BRRRRRRR
always love bugged dionysus flare on beo but also crush shot does massive bonkers! Athena's with lightning phalanx and cast backshot with Aphrodite makes it always backshot and zoom!
Wait. lol. What’s bugged Dionysius flare mean?
on beowulf, trippy shot poms actually give double the effect. ie first pom says it adds +40 damage but in actuality adds 80 lol.
Oh whoa
I love Artemis' cast the most. I can hit enemies far away, plus its homing
Artemis, she is so chill all the time
Oh I mean Cast as in the attack called Cast ;)
Artemis. Such a high chance of crits and just melts those shield bois
Poseidon, Artemis or Demeter are my go-tos (tho demeter kinda needs the Artemis Duo Boon)
Dionysus. Gods do I love absolutely destroying everything with Zeus/Dionysus and Demeter/Dionysus duos.
The cast alone, Poseidon, hands down. fits in every situation.
Now, if i'm going to make a build around cast, Ares is the best option, taking artemis duo with him and poseidon, and also the boon that makes the cast pull the enemies..... most broken cast in the game.
Yeah. I agree.
Tbh I never really liked Ares’ cast (or his dash or call) until I finally got his duo with Artemis and got Hunting Blades. Yea, it just deletes enemies from the game. You basically don’t even need to use your weapon it’s so good.
Love me Dionysus and his giant glob of wine fog. Bonus if it's got the Zeus or Demeter assist duo on it.
I just love love love a scintillating festive fog, so dionysus for me.
Scintillating? Idk if I’ve ever read that word before lol
Depends on the weapon honestly but its usually Dionysius. Im also a pretty big fan of Aphro on Poseidon sword.
Aries duo booned with Airtimes is fucking nuts, and so is Demeters duo booned with Airtimes. But sans duo's or specific weapons its definitly Dionysus.
Ares when I can actually get the damn thing to go where i want it to
Interesting
Athena by far her dash boon is so helpful 🙌🏽
So you like Athena’s cast the best?
Ice Wine: Dionysus + Demeter. Love getting Scintillating Feast along with it: Dionysus + Zeus.
seeing a crazy lack of aphrodite. my personal fav closely tied with artemis
Oh for real? I love her cast with the bow where you load in casts. It deletes enemies from the game.
Otherwise, yeah it’s cool on its own. It just lacks range.
I like that the Artemis cast hits through shields
Dionsysus and Aphrodite feel real good for that chunky damage.
Ares blade rifts are so cool but require a lot of boons to become good
I actually didn’t know that about Artemis. They do feel nice.
Yes, Ares’ blades do need a lot of boons to be good! Preach.
I loved using the Aspect of Hera and the Aspect of Beowulf and using Dionysus’ cast to basically be a bomb
For me, will always be Ares and Artemis, Ares mainly. Ares because of him colors, red and black, my favourites. And because he's too op with him's blades. Artemis mostly because of her critical boons, like pressure points. And the color green I like. Combine the two, with Hera's aspect and you have one of the strongest builds in the game.
I play without cast (on purpose ofc, otherwise i'd be too op)
lol
actually i do use it when i get ares, dionysus or demeter, so i guess these are my favorites
Oh whoa those are interesting picks. Those are probably the hardest casts to use imo
yeah i just like having a cast that i can just ''place'' somewhere and let it do it's thing haha. i don't really use the other casts simply because they don't feel satisfying to me so i keep forgetting about them
HUNTING. BLADES.
Y’all keep forgetting Hermes!!
Oh does he have a Cast?
Poseidon cast isn’t the best due to low damage but once you get his supporting boons it’s pretty fun. Dionysus on Hera bow is also super fun because most gods can help it through a duo or good supporting boons
Honestly apart from Athena, Zeus and Artemis I love all the casts, they're really fun to play around with! I'd have to say Crush Shot and Crystal Beam are my favorites tho they're just really cool
Ares and Demeter are incredibly unique and enjoyable with their best duo boon of Hunting Blade and Crystal Clarity
Freezing Vortex and Cold Embrace are certainly some of the duo boons of all time
