Cavalcadence plays Hades 5 - Heat 20, Shield of Chaos, Aspect 1 (Aspect of Zagreus) win
0Hades (PC(W,M)/Steam) (Supergiant Games)
Heat 20, Shield of Chaos (Aegis) run, Aspect 1 (Aspect of Zagreus) win
So, continuing to go after Heat bounties while following Darker Thirst... the Shield of Chaos hit Heat 19 next! And interestingly(?), although I'm probably better overall with the Blade than the Shield... my first attempt at Heat 20 went a lot better with the Shield than the Blade. ^.^;
So anyway, here it is... my first ever Heat 20 Shield of Chaos win! Hope you enjoy!
Some quick notes on the True Shot build strat I've been using:
- I built the strat around True Shot mainly because it's unblockable by enemies like Greatshields... and Theseus. =)
- The basic priority order for Keepsakes I used was: Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Ares (if one of the previous wasn't necessary), and Patroclus (or Skelly, if worryingly low on Death Defiance)
- The specific Boons I tended to prioritize were:
* Artemis: True Shot, Exit Wounds
* Athena: Divine Dash
* Hermes: Quick Reload
* Dionysus: Strong Drink, Positive Outlook, Premium Vintage
* Ares: Ares' Aid (if another Call isn't being used)
* Chaos: +1 bloodstone, increased Cast damage

0:12 Keepsakes - Companion Shady, Adamant Arrowhead (Artemis)
0:17 Shield of Chaos (Aegis), Aspect 1: Aspect of Zagreus
- I originally (low Heat) started out using the Aspect of Chaos (Aspect 2), and playing a more defensive style... but using the True Shot build at higher Heat, I found that I seemed to get slightly better results playing a more offensive style... which is why I eventually switched to Aspect of Zagreus instead. ^_^

14:08 Hmm, actually... I guess we could try farming for some food...
14:45 ...still no more food, so maybe there's a max number of drops, or something? Or maybe just some bad RNG? Either way, we've probably wasted enough time here already, so... ^_^
15:18 Whoops, didn't mean to activate the Trove... well, umm... maybe some of them will drop food? ^^;
16:45 ...or not. =p Hmm, maybe they're not allowed to drop food, the way they're not allowed to drop money...?
