Cavalcadence plays Hades 22 - Darkness-Free, Adamant Rail, Aspect 3 (Hestia)
0Hades (PC(W,M)/Steam) (Supergiant Games)
Darkness-Free run (no Darkness in Mirror of Night)
Adamant Rail (Exagryph), Aspect 3 (Aspect of Hestia)
So, Darker Thirst landed on the Rail next... so I decided to give 0-Darkness Rail a try. ^_^
Long story short... things went well. =) Although, despite having 6 opportunities (3 meetings + 3 rerolls), Hermes never did offer Zag a second Dash. ^^;; Zag's build ended up being strong enough that he apparently didn't need it... but a second Dash still would've been nice to have (especially for the final Boss)! ^.^
So... anyway, here it is! My first ever "100% Darkness-Free" Adamant Rail win... hope you enjoy!
Some quick notes on the strategy I used:
- The basic priority order for Keepsakes I used was: Aphrodite, Athena, Dionysus, Skelly.
- The specific Boons I tended to prioritize were:
* Aphrodite: Heartbreak Strike, Different League
* Athena: Divine Dash, Bronze Skin
* Hermes: Greatest Reflex
* Dionysus: Strong Drink, Positive Outlook, Premium Vintage
0:01 Mirror of Night
- Talents: a a a a a b a a a a a b
- (Mirror is already empty (previous run was 0-Darkness Bow run), so don't have to Reset Talents this time!)
- With no Darkness in the Mirror, I think(?) the only Talent selections that can affect the run are Infernal/Stygian Soul and Fated Authority/Persuasion.
