The damage radius is pretty large sitting at 275. I have to admit, this can be a good amount of damage, especially if players are using Boons to get their Special Damage up, though as much as I use the Eternal Spears Special quite a bit more than I use the Special of other Weapons, I prefer to deal more damage using my regular attacks. Essentially with Concentrated Volley players will be able to deal a bonus 3 base damage for each consecutive hit to a foe. Without Dionysus special, Aspect of Chaos goes down probably 2 tiers. You cant really go wrong with either of those. Aside from this, you have a fairly normal and underwhelming attack and throw special, both of which can be upgraded to become powerful but neither of which are particularly impressive until then. It should be noted that the Daedalus Hammer will always affect a players Attack and Special, this means that it never has an effect on a players Cast. This is extra helpful in the last stage before defeating Hades as the hoards of mobs tend to be difficult to defeat when using the Adamant Rail. Like most other things Zaegrus picks up while moving through the Underworld, these upgrades will last for the rest of a given run once applied to a weapon and will be reset when Zagreus dies. Hold Special to charge your skewer for up to +200% damage. Admittedly, its very powerful, but I hate the feeling of using it, making Massive Spin, something I rarely take, unless Im willing to go out of my comfort zone. That being said, the upgrades a player can potentially receive from the Daedalus Hammer may also impact which secret Weapon upgrade a player chooses when using Titan Blood to upgrade the Weapon. Everyone has their own ideas when it comes to the ideal weapon build. Hold Special for up to 300% damage; minimum range is reduced. Shadow Slash is an upgrade that more skilled players will want to focus on. The best ones would probably be ferocious guard, since you use bull rush a lot. However, its great with a variety of different casting abilities, including Aphrodites, which is typically underwhelming due to its short range. My third favourite weapon is Stygius - the old reliable sword which deals excellent, reliable damage whether you choose to focus on the regular attack combo or the area-of-effect special attack. Your Attack fires 2 shots side-by-side, but has reduced range. Again, players will not need this upgrade early on, however, in the late game all the rewards mentioned will be the better choices, especially when players have purchased enough upgrades from the House Contractor to provide them with other rewards that equally as useful. Quite frankly, although the Quick Spin doesnt add damage, it will really help a player manipulate the way they move a lot easier and is truly the only way youre going to see me using the Spin Attack. Explosive Shot seems like a good idea to have, but in my experience isnt as good as it sounds. In fact, you should probably wear the Dionysus accessory when starting a run with this shield so you dont have any chance of getting screwed by RNG. Because the shield aspect has some inherent knockback, it tends to work well with Poseidon since he gets a bunch of boons that increase the damage from slamming enemies into walls and each other. Naeglings Board moveset deals higher damage than usual, and you can load your Cast into your Bull Rush to turn it into an upgraded Dragon Rush. It's an easy way to remove their extra shield with a weak attack so your stronger ones actually have an affect. More information on how the hammer alters the weapons can be found on their respective pages. Power Rush is a hit and miss skill as players will want to ensure that they knock enemies into walls to deal even more damage, but at the end of the day with a 500% boost on this damage it still deals a good amount without smashing into a wall. Your Attack is replaced with a big chop that deals 90 base damage. Im personally not a huge fan of Triple Shot, simply from a play style perspective, but I have to admit that I take it fairly often because Im not really offered any alternatives. Both Charged Shot and Power Shot ignore shields wielded by. While realistically the player is not going to deal a whole lot of damage to enemies using Chain Skewer, being that it will only deal 30% damage to enemies that are effected, this can be very helpful when up against hoards, especially if players are finding it difficult to fully secure a kill with them. With Perfect Shot players will be able to activate their Power Shot quicker and will also deal 150% extra damage. Minotaur Rush is a bit odd. Concentrated Knuckle is by far my favourite damage dealing upgrade as it will provide players with 5 base damage (which can be boosted with Boons) for each basic attack hit unerupted to a foe. Hades is fairly well-balanced, so keep in mind while you're reading through this list that some weapons may simply fit . If I get access to Cluster Bomb, realistically I begin focusing the majority of my damage of my Special, making it my main source of damage. You cannot be stunned while using your Attack or Special. Players should note that Dashing Flight cannot be combined with Charged Flight and will not be able to use it with the Aspect of Zeus. Relentless Volley is going to be an upgrade that players only use if they are stacking damage on their Special or are using Piercing Volley as it simply adds 4 extra projectiles while players use their Special. For me, Im not a fan, but I cannot deny how strong this can be especially if players are building good damage on their Special. Equip the Overflowing Cup Keepsake to ensure he stops partying long enough to show up with his Boons. through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Your Attack deals +200% damage when striking foes from behind. Admittedly, this is one of the Exclusives that I feel is less overpowered then the rest. Essentially, Breaching Skewer will make it so a player rotates between attacking armoured enemies while trying to take down those whos Armour has already shattered. After landing 12 strikes, your next Special hits more times (+1/2/3/4/5), You have the Claws of Enkidu, whose Dash-Upper can maim foes for bonus damage (100/175/200/325/400). The one which buffs your special ideally. I understand why they exist, but man does it feel bad when this is one of your offered hammers in Tartarus taking the place of something like Charged Shot. This encourages an attack focused build such as with Artemis. Essentially, players must trade 60% of their maximum health for the ability to regain 2 Health for each hit. When using the Aspect of Beowulf, the boons for your cast will have different names. Her powers are defensive as opposed to offensive, and they're more effective at dealing extra damage as they range from Common at early levels to Heroic later in the game. Dashing Flight is pretty interesting. Dashing Wallop is an interesting upgrade to take as it will increase a players Dash Attack by 50%. Your Special pierces foes and deals +400% damage to Armor. It should be noted that some upgrades will not be available to a player if they are using certain Aspects with the Adamant Rail: Flurry Fire to me is a pretty good upgrade for players to choose, especially because it will provide players with 6 extra ammo and will allow players to deal damage more rapidly as well as more accurately. In my opinion, this is a great upgrade to have if a player is simply trying to get used to their Spin Attack, but its not massively necessary. In my opinion this can be great for players, especially due to the issue of players getting overwhelmed with mobs before they fully reach a player especially because it can be easy for players to get overwhelmed while wielding a ranged weapon that needs to be charged up. Even if the hammer simply changed Bull Rush's base to 80, it would still be a fantastic hammer, but it also gives you the projectile with properties. Realistically this is going to be a niche kind of upgrade for players. Holy Excalibur features different attacks which deal increased damage but no longer knockback; and your Special creates an aura around its detonation point which provides damage reduction, disables traps, and dramatically slows enemy projectiles. Not only that, Dashing Wallop will also damage enemies in a larger radius, essentially making it a more useable for players. Once players have reached the Temple of Styx, they have the chance for the Anvil of Fates to appear, which will swap a single upgrade from the Daedalus Hammer and provide the player with 2 new ones. Nonetheless, Targeting System is a pretty good upgrade to have yourself. Your Special deals 50 damage to nearby foes when you catch it. Your Special is replaced with Blitz Disc, which deals damage per hit (8/13/19/24/30). If you haven't been using this hammer, give it a shot! Hold Attack to strike rapidly, but you cannot Spin Attack. Sometimes the bone-etched visage shudders as though it means to speak. I have personally only used it a handful of times, because I prefer to stay mobile and the hammer doesn't affect Dash-Strikes or Bull Rush, but on the other hand, if you dedicate your build to it, the hammer can really shine. Its moveset allows players to Bull Rush, which is where Zagreus charges up. Admittedly, there are some Aspects players will absolutely want to to put the Massive Spin on and I also have to admit that I need to get better at using my Spin Attack, because Im just a lazy bastard. The Hammer's upgrades vary from weapon to weapon, with some being minor adjustments and others shifting the playstyle of the weapon entirely. You lunge forward when you use your Special; use again to lunge back. Combining this with Dread Flight, Explosive Return, or Charged Flight can really make the special a much more viable damage dealer. After blocking a foe, gain +20% damage and move speed for 10 Sec. Flash Fire is the next upgrade for the Aspect of Lucifer and will provide players with the ability to fire 50% faster with 15% range. Essentially with Ricochet Fire, players will deal damage to an extra foe anytime they deal damage with their basic attack as long as there is an enemy in the area. Explosive Return is surprisingly strong, in my opinion. Learn how your comment data is processed. Your Attack deals +5 damage for each uninterrupted hit to a foe. It should be noted that the Cruel Thrust does not apply to the Dash-Strike, so players will continue to have to combo and stand still to deal damage. The Cruel Thrust can be an interesting upgrade, though players should note that it only affects the third attack in a Combo, being the Thrust. It should be noted that some upgrades will not be available to a player if they are using certain Aspects on the Stygian Blade: With Breaching Slash, players will deal 300% damage to an enemys Armour, especially being able to burst through enemies in the late-game. Essentially with the Aspect of Lucifer, the longer a player is damaging enemies the more damage the players will do, so with Concentrated Beam players will be able to ramp up their damage 100% faster. Thrusts already deal a higher amount of damage, though with this upgrade players will deal 200% more damage and have a 40% chance to Critical Hit. Players will not be able to obtain Cruel Thrust if they have the Weapon upgrade Aspect of Arthur, which makes sense as the Aspect of Arthur Stygian Blade already deals an obscene amount of damage with its Thrust. Ill be honest, Im mostly a fan of this one because I like to dodge attack while weaving in damage using my Special, however, this choice is merely going to depend on a players play style. Catching all the shields will only deal area damage once. I'm not sure how dashing flight works with the aspect of chaos but it could potentially be good. Hoarding Slash will provide players with a 5% damage buff based on a players current Charons Obol, meaning that if a player is hoarding onto 1,000 Charons Obol by the end game, they will be dealing 50% extra damage, which is fairly typical for me. With Charged Shot, players will be able to shoot an arrow that pierces enemies and deals 80 base damage, which is fairly significant, however it still takes a good amount of time to charge up. Your Dash-Strike pierces foes and deals +900% damage to Armor. It should be noted that Relentless Volley cannot be used in tandem with Charged Volley. This build depends mostly on the effect of Hangover, the God of Wine's signature power, which stuns and slows enemies, so take Boons with Hangover as opposed to his less effective Festive Fog. Bonus Hellfire Blast Damage: (50/63/75/88/100). Bonus Attack and Dash-Strike damage (+3/6/9/12/15), After you Bull Rush, your next Special throws multiple shields (+1/2/3/4/5). Ares' Blade Dash lets you deal damage as you escape after the Bull Rush, so consider aiming for that one as well. Let me know in the comments below! Sure, it lets you tag nearly every enemy in a room, which feels great. **See below for Naegling's Board's alternate moveset. Players should be pleased to note that this damage is multiplicative, unlike many other upgrades and they will also receive a damage radius of 145% damage. Your Special becomes Magnetic Cutter; its pull deals 20 damage. Players will still be able to activate Piercing Wave while using their Dash-Strike, being one of the best ways to activate Piercing Wave. This build is similar to the Dionysian one in the sense that it starts with a lot of defensive powers in the form of knock-back abilities, but Poseidon deals more damage in less time. Poseidon is another good option. Your Special deals +4 damage for each consecutive hit to a foe. Once you unlock the Aspect of Chiron, which guides your arrow spray special to hit the targeted enemy, your damage potential will increase even further. In my opinion, Chain Shot is a great upgrade to have as it can be difficult to aim well using Power Shot or your regular attack. Once players are provided with the three choices, players will not be able to select a new three choices, even if they are unhappy with the passives rolled. Much like many of the other upgrades, the damage dealt by Extending Jab is going to be additive, though it is extremely useful, especially for those who arent interested in a tank and spank. It should be noted that Ricochet Fire cannot be combined with Explosive Fire, Spread Fire or Seeking Fire. First off, in my opinion, shield special tends to be pretty weak. The six weapons of Hades are your primary means of battle through the ever-changing halls of the Underworld. Your Special automatically seeks the foe last struck by your Attack. Grab Tempest Flourish if you can, and upgrade it to knock into 4+ enemies as soon as possible. The following are all of the upgrades players can get for the Stygian Blade. It should be noted that players will not be able to receive Exploding Launcher if they are using Chain Skewer or Vicious Skewer, similarly players will not be able to use it with Aspect of Achilles and Aspect of Guan Yu, making it one of those elusive upgrades you dont really see in the end-game. It should be noted that players will not be able to use Triple Bomb with Cluster Bomb or Hazard Bomb and while not my all time favourite upgrade that is given to the Special, it is a very close section. Would speed the hades best hammer upgrades for shield Shields as well the mix and improves your trusty tool to perform on. With Serrated Point, players will be able to deal damage with their Dash-Strike 3 times, though they will lose 25% of their range while Dashing. It should be noted that Rush Kick will shoot a player forward, being able to avoid low barriers, though because of this it can be a bit difficult to control, so just be ready. Also on that note, I would much rather take infinite ammo to this. Double Nova is a particular kind of upgrade in my opinion as it will allow players to deal damage with their Special twice in a row (automatically), however it takes away the Specials ability to Knockback enemies. Admittedly, this is one of the better ways to deal damage using your Special. Kinetic Launcher is another upgrade that needs to be charged, making it one I avoid. For Daedalus Hammer upgrades, look out for Triple Bomb or Cluster Bomb (you only need one of them). Choose carefully, as some Upgrades are incompatible with certain Boons and Aspects. Hold Attack to shoot rapidly, but you cannot Power Shot. As much as 80% isnt the biggest increase, players will really see a bonus in damage while using Empowered Flight, especially if they already have damage built up on their basic attack. The Rocket Bomb was an upgrade I initially really liked, though Ill admit the novelty really wore off on me. Potential spoilers in comments. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Not much else to say, really. Players should note that they will be unable to use Heavy Knuckle with Rolling Knuckle and will not be able to unlock it with the Aspect of Gilgamesh. Aegis, despite being a shield, fits well with a very aggressive playstyle. With Flurry Jab, players will no longer need to button mash their attack and instead can hold down their attack in order to rapidly strike. Your Attack deals +200% damage to distant foes. It is best used to apply a curse or to deal supplemental ranged damage. If you click on a link and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. With Chain Shot players will no longer need to focus merely on piercing enemies and ensuring that they are lined up and instead will want to make sure that enemies are close enough for the arrow to ricochet. I hate, hate, hate it. Create your ReedPop ID & unlock community features and much, much more! I personally don't walk around in combat very much, I dash, so the movement increase is nearly unnoticeable (unless I have Rush Delivery from Hermes). There's an awful lot to learn about each one, with different movesets, upgrades, and aspects to unlock for each Infernal Arm throughout your journeys. Increases Nova damage. Wondering what the best Hades shield aspect is? Realistically, 20% isnt much, but if players are focussing on Special damage or have like to rely on their Special for the majority of their damage, this isnt a bad choice as the potential for dealing more AoE damage is greatly heightened. Reveal the Aspect of Beowulf by meeting the following requirements: The form in which the shield of chaos first revealed itself. Players will be able to rely on the Special to remove the Armour off of all enemies, especially if players are using the Aspect that causes all Special attacks to target the last hit enemy. As the Heart-Seeking Bows special doesnt deal a whole lot of damage, this isnt the most useful upgrade for most players, but when used for niche uses it can be a great idea. Honestly, eh. In reality, this trade off is still phenomenal because youll never be stuck in a situation where you have to reload and essentially switch over to your Special Damage. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. Johnny is also a sound designer/composer, recently becoming interested in video game soundtracks, and is a big animal enthusiast. This one transforms the shield's moveset in more subtle ways compared to other hidden aspects. If you get tired of the shield and want something else, check out our guides for the best bow builds and best sword builds as well. Seeking Fire is similar to a Artemis Boon, providing players with the ability to deal 10% more damage to enemies and also making all attacks home to the nearest foe. The mechanic of charging the shield and Bull Rushing itself is a little clunky, and oftentimes it feels like youd output more damage if you just equipped Aspect of Poseidon and ran around casting normally with the increased cast damage, but nevertheless, its hard to argue with the utility of the Beowulf shield when you watch Hadess health melt rapidly from standing in a pool of blades. Overall, I like the attack hammers. Aside from that, we also recommend Minotaur Rush and Breaching Rush for buffing the Rush attack even more. The gods that Zagreus encounters will hint at these legends if he has the shield equipped when he encounters them. It should be noted that some upgrades will not be available to a player if they are using certain Aspects with the Twin Fists: With Breaching Gross players will upgrade their Dash-Strike will pierce foes and will be able to deal 900% damage to Armour. Realistically, I dont care about this upgrade, I think its pretty trash and I would recommend against it. Different things work for different people - just remember to choose your Boons based on your weapon, and to concentrate on designing a coherent build as you progress through the Underworld. When first starting their adventures in the Underworld, it's easy for players to feel overwhelmed with the various options available. At the time, I was still playing with no spoilers on Twitch, so folks in chat were definitely facepalming at me, because I truly didnt understand the impact that the Daedalus Hammer could have on me and my Weapons. I would say about 3 Boons on a Special should be able to significantly make the Special worth focussing on, though it depends what stage of the game you are in and whether or not youre simply not able to use Power Shots regularly. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. While it does not completely matter what passives a player receives from the Daedalus Hammer, as any passive is going to raise the utility of the Weapon a player yields, there are going to be some passives that a player focusses on, especially if they struggle with particular Weapons. Otherwise, its just a bit of a waste, even with a 250% base damage boost. Something that I didnt expect, but should have expected is that various forms of a Weapon have different passives from the Daedalus Hammer. Admittedly, Spread Fire is great against hoards of enemies and I will sometimes take it if Im willing to try my luck at an Anvil of Fates later on, but in most circumstances I get screwed over. It should be noted that Flurry Jab cannot be used with Flaring Spin, Massive Spin, or Quick Spin. I also just started my run with it and got the hammer at the beginning of my run. Concentrated Beam is one of the many Aspect of Lucifer Exclusive upgrades players can receive. Anything that gives your Dash some measure of power is also recommended, especially if you're playing with Pacts. This will be marked for players with an Attack line, allowing players to know when they have enough range from the enemy. Quite frankly, this isnt that bad of an upgrade if players are good enough at blocking damage, as 10 seconds of boosting damage will actually prove to be more than you think. Flying Cutter essentially adds time to the players Special but if charged correctly will raise a players Special damage by 100%. Defensively, its incredible, since like most shields it blocks incoming attacks while charging its Bull Rush ability, and its special ability encourages you to Bull Rush constantly. Players should also note that if they have chosen the upgrade Aspect of Arthur for their Stygian Blade, they will not be able to access this upgrade at all. Upgrade Zag's Blade Rift as much as possible and try to grab any Doom-related ability before leaving Tartarus, then switch Keepsakes upon reaching Asphodel. The best thing about Breaching Slash is that it will also work if players are Dash-Striking, which many other Armour breaking passives wont. The best Hades shield build transforms the Aegis from being a slow, unwieldy defensive tool into a slow, unwieldy defensive tool that deals heavy amounts of damage. Some players prefer a more defensive build or maybe a combination that provides better ranged or melee abilities. For your Daedalus Hammer upgrades, Triple Shot is your best bet as it will give you much-needed spread damage, allowing you to take out groups of enemies faster. However, I feel like this hammer is pretty weak, even in that case. Essentially players will want to throw their Special in between regular attacks in order to deal 80% extra damage to the next two attacks. Admittedly, the V formation is a bit difficult to control and often avoids enemies, but when landed correctly players will gain a significant damage output. Pulverizing Blow is difficult for me to evaluate. Overall, an interesting hammer, and one I personally enjoy, but I can definitely see why many might not like it much. . With Power Rush players will be dealing 500% extra damage, ultimately making the Power Rush a very good source of damage, especially if players upgrade it with other means. Landing animation makes recovery longer and still no invulnerability - all for a subpar damage bonus. The story of the shield, according to the Codex entry, is connected to both Zeus and Athena. This hammer would be much stronger, in my opinion, if it was something like +40% base damage for your next two attacks. The player has to equip the shield in the house and interact with its information screen to activate the Aspect. I would say its more necessary for the Aspect of Guan Yu, but thats the only time I always choose it. With Chain Skewer, essentially players will be able to damage up to 7 foes for each of the uses players use on their Special. Hello, I would like some advice on the meta-best upgrades for the shield with the aspect of chaos?
