The best thing about Supergiant’sHadesgames is how much experimentation comes with the territory.
That hasn’t stopped me from picking favorites inHades 2all the same.
When I eventually unlocked the Argent Skull and Umbral Flames, though, I was immediately distrustful.
The shotgun-like skull and its ascribed combat style did not appeal to me at all.
That last reason is definitely what I didn’t enjoy about the Umbral Flames.
Everything changed when I finally started collecting Aspects.
Surely something could be done to remedy the issues I was facing with the Skull and Flames, too?
I sat myself down and had a word.
To do so, I’d bring the tankiest build known to man and god(s).
Mathe-magics
Roguelikes are great for pushing stubborn people like me out of their comfort zones.
I have one core rule in Hades: when in doubt, just sprint or dash.
I use this knowledge to my advantage when constructing my ideal Argent Skull build.
I also become very well acquainted with Selene’s Total Eclipse blessing, which proves a veritable boss-melter.
Things are going swimmingly until I start picking up a concerning number of Aphrodite boons.
But what of the Umbral Flames?
Well, I’m still working that one out.
Still, not bad for a first attempt, right?
