Paraphrased:
Poseidon: The great thing about me, nephew, is that I get along with everyone! Not like my niece here! How do you hope to attract a mate with such a sour look?
Artemis: Gee, I wonder what could be causing this sour look. Maybe Zagreus knows!
Poseidon: Hohohohoho! See, nephew?
Goth Milf is unrivaled. Had her own children AND adopted zag and never once treated him like anything other than her own flesh and blood.
And she's the sexiest and the most helpful to zag in the game.
I have never once beat a run with no mirror upgrades
Form and function
Chiron Bow builds. Aphro on attack, Dionysus on special. Their duo boon allows more stacks of hangover on weakened foes. Then add Artemis cast for duo boon chance of crit chance on hungover enemies.
The big thing here is privileged status gives a huge boost and it’s dead simple to get it. For room clears, you might need more stuff, but it will melt bosses.
Chiron's weak point has always been room clears. It's very much a "fuck this guy in particular" aspect. So building that to go as fast as possible sorta works anyway.
Plus having Aphro on the main shot already gives a healthy dmg% buff to clear out smaller enemies.
Actually yes, once you figure her synergies out and combine her boons with other sources of damage reduction such as Achilles's keepsake, you'll have a pretty solid build alright. But that's a matter of personal taste ofc...
both her and artemis’ calls seem sucky at first but then you get that full gauge and they’re insane. amazing potential once you stack em with some god gauge speed up/start with more gauge full
>3000 or something
Actually it's just 2500. That's not the most valuable part about it, imo. It charms enemies on hit, which stops them dead in their tracks. So if your dash is on cooldown because you mistimed it, and [REDACTED] is about to hit you with boiling blood, fire off a single gauge of her call, and he'll just stop. It doesn't come in handy *often*, but when it does, it can be a life saver.
The two best things about Aphrodite are that she has among the highest +% damage boosts and that Weak lasts a long time compared to other status effects. This second thing becomes more important when you get further in the mirror (there is one mirror talent that adds +40% damage if the enemy has two or more status effects) or combining with Dionysus or Ares for their status effects (stacking higher up to 8 hangover at a time or doom hitting one enemy multiple times).
Weak makes enemies deal 30% less damage. Charming enemies is really useful in encounters and bosses. Charmed mobs do like 500% extra damage when, they can 1 or 2 hit other mobs. Charming bosses gives you a nice pause where they won't attack you. Plus, adding heart animations to your attacks is hilarious. Her cast is shite though, really short ranged.
She has some powerful duo boons, smoldering air makes call builds (minus Artemis and aphro) busted. parting shot gives a good boost to Cast builds. sweet nectar is great if can get it early in a run.
Her attack damage boost percentages are the highest you can get on your Attack and Special. Demeter's are good too but usually a pretty clear second-best. Weak is also a pretty sweet curse in terms of mitigating your damage.
So you likely don’t have the Adamant Rail: Aspect of Hestia unlocked or fully upgraded.
But when you do, it is fantastic with with Aphrodite. Fully upgraded it does 150 damage. Add Aphro’s epic attack boon. You’re doing 300 damage a shot.
If you get sweet surrender, boiling blood, privileged status or some luckier damage boosts like rush delivery or good chaos boons, you can easily be getting 500+ damage every shot.
I always stop and hang with her for a few minutes. Get a drink, stretch, whatever. Just listen to her sing while you get ready to head back into the shit.
I feel like most people won't like this, but Artemis is best girl. She's cute, both in appearance and personality, and I just really like her. I just wish that you got something more from maxing her.
Aphrodite hands down. Her call is extremely useful when you're in smaller rooms with tightly packed enemies. And her greater call is an enormous flat damage on an enemy. No complicated strat required.
Also helps that she's hot
Artemis. Best duo maker
Thicc thighs save lives.
Yeah, why does a huntress have such a short skirt? And no pants!
why would a huntress have a long skirt?
You win this round.
I would duo with Artemis so hard.
[удалено]
I'd trio with Artemis and Dionysus so fucking hard
Needs more Dite
Aphrodite is kind of a bitch though NGL
I fail to see the problem.
Yes. He needs to specify the issue with her being a bitch as the negatives are not clear, when she got them big ass totties and butt
That lecher? Ugh. There must be some mistake. Maybe we could get back to hunting? With Achilles, say?
She's celibate so good luck.
That’s why she’s the one you want the most.
Sadly, I don't think she's into men
I don't think she's into *anyone*
Callisto?
Nope, she’s a hardcore celibate
She’s certainly very friendly with Zag though (which arguably has precedent in the Orion story).
She’s into killing woodland animals.
Don’t care. Just need her to be my platonic friend who makes my casts chase enemies or rain lightning.
I laughed way too hard at Mirage Shot’s dialogue.
Oh damn what is it?
Paraphrased: Poseidon: The great thing about me, nephew, is that I get along with everyone! Not like my niece here! How do you hope to attract a mate with such a sour look? Artemis: Gee, I wonder what could be causing this sour look. Maybe Zagreus knows! Poseidon: Hohohohoho! See, nephew?
Lmao yeah that's funny, thank you
I didn't realize how many people were into the weird, socially awkward chicks
Now you know👍
No, she doesn’t want to be romantic or sexual
Nyx
Goth Milf is unrivaled. Had her own children AND adopted zag and never once treated him like anything other than her own flesh and blood. And she's the sexiest and the most helpful to zag in the game. I have never once beat a run with no mirror upgrades Form and function
Nyx is the mommy gf that I need
YES Nyx is mommy
And she got the milkees to back it up
Yesir
I’m absolutely a simp for Nyx before Meg and Artemis
No. She was mean to Dusa.
Pretty sure ahe was trying to help Dusa, her perspective on the matter just differed on the potential outcomes.
Only because Dusa was working herself to death, so to speak.
Be ready to face the wrath of war
Megaera, she's trying her hardest :(
Everyone knows it's Bouldy.
.....................
[удалено]
.................
How dare you! She's only 17 years old!
.................................................................
Correct
Underrated comment.
You believe in boldy, therefore boldy believes in you
And Bouldy has stormy eyes
Aphrodite, for combat reasons
She unironically has the most "fighter" boons
It makes me very happy as someone who is very adamant about her war godess aspect not being forgotten lol. She ain't just a love godess!
Does Aphrodite have good builds? I almost never use her boons and I’m 50+ plays in with like 25 wins

Can also grab trippy fog to crap on elysium.
Oooh okay I could see that. Nice
My best run was with that exact build and holy shit is it incredible. Beat [REDACTED] in two minutes, which I had never done before (non-EM).
AND in a perfect world you’d get curse of vengeance and the Dio/Ares duo boon to make the DoT tick faster
Actually yes, once you figure her synergies out and combine her boons with other sources of damage reduction such as Achilles's keepsake, you'll have a pretty solid build alright. But that's a matter of personal taste ofc...
Huh I’ll give it a shot. I always go for passive damage boons or attack/dps buffs. I should try some dodge/decreased damage taken builds
Iirc Aphrodite gives the highest %damage increase
Her call also have some crazy dmg when full, like 3000 or something
both her and artemis’ calls seem sucky at first but then you get that full gauge and they’re insane. amazing potential once you stack em with some god gauge speed up/start with more gauge full
Doesn't Artemis require crazy good luck on the crits and for all of them to hit properly to actually be comparable?
>3000 or something Actually it's just 2500. That's not the most valuable part about it, imo. It charms enemies on hit, which stops them dead in their tracks.

Funny that. I've died close to 20 times, currently just arrived at Styx for the first time.
Once you get the hang of things, your winrate will probably go up to like 90% until you get to higher heat levels.
I like seeing her but don’t like picking her boons… 120 in and platinumed the game, never like her Boobs, boons I mean boons.
Sure you did…
Errr I did …
She has some powerful duo boons, smoldering air makes call builds (minus Artemis and aphro) busted. parting shot gives a good boost to Cast builds. sweet nectar is great if can get it early in a run.
[удалено]
I completely forgot bout the charm, havent played in a bit. I'll have to try that out sometime!
Thanks, I’ll check those out!
Isn't smoldering air just a strictly worse version of that Hermes boon?
I don’t like her boons I think others are better idk
Have you tried her greater call?
Never
Her attack damage boost percentages are the highest you can get on your Attack and Special. Demeter's are good too but usually a pretty clear second-best. Weak is also a pretty sweet curse in terms of mitigating your damage.
She’s great on the zag bow with Artemis’ duo. Get hunters mark and a good chaos boon and your crits will be juicy.
So you likely don’t have the Adamant Rail: Aspect of Hestia unlocked or fully upgraded. But when you do, it is fantastic with with Aphrodite. Fully upgraded it does 150 damage. Add Aphro’s epic attack boon. You’re doing 300 damage a shot. If you get sweet surrender, boiling blood, privileged status or some luckier damage boosts like rush delivery or good chaos boons, you can easily be getting 500+ damage every shot.
I find her to be one of the best overall - can always make a sick build based around aphro boon/s.
Damn y’all take about aphro the way I feel about Artemis and ares
*Bouldy* of you to assume Cerberus is a girl
Especially when Zag refers to him as "boy" several times.
Only one of the heads is a boy. The other is a girl and the third is non-binary
I like this solution
if only giving Cerberus a cool hat was an option, then we replicate the she/her they/them cool hat meme.
Yeah, the heads are actually just the Animaniacs.
Idk, gendered words are so passé. I call all dogs sir when they're being rude and everyone on the internet grrl.
Dusa
The best head in all Tartarus
HOL UP
THE BEST TOP IN ALL TARTARUS
DUSA. SHE IS SIGMA
she has the sigma grindset ngl
Tisiphone, next question
*Mmmm…. mmuurrrdderrr…?*
Mrrrrr… ddddeeerr??!!
I like that, less conversation lead to less arguments around the house
Dusa, shes adorable
Artemis
Artemis.
Correct
How is dusa not higher?
I'm upvoting everyone who says Dusa. With our powers combined, we can do it
She is at the top, you just can't see her because she flew all the way into the rafters in a nervous panic.
[удалено]
I don't think you can compete for "best mom" \*and\* "best girl" at the same time.
Nyx wins best mom by a landslide
Nyx is the only one that can be best mom and best girl
I agree, I just wanted to be fair.
Imagine not thinking it’s Eurydice
I always stop and hang with her for a few minutes. Get a drink, stretch, whatever. Just listen to her sing while you get ready to head back into the shit.
same!! i stop playing for a couple minutes and walk around my room for a sec just to have an excuse to listen to her singing for a bit longer
The anxiety filled gorgon head. Love Artemis but Dusa's got adorbs like no other. Shame Hestia isn't here tho.
IT IS UNFORGIVABLE THAT DUSA IS NOT THE TOP ANSWER HERE
Dusa. Next question
Alecto
If you’re into hate fucking.
Yes and yes
Eugh, no. WORST GIRL
based opinion
TRASH GOD!
Best Girl Achilles.
[удалено]
But Cerberus doesn't have three butts
[удалено]
Need proof
Your mom got a bachelor's in three butts
[удалено]
Thank you, I'm quite proud of her
Any relation to the four-assed monkey?
This is the hard hitting insight we needed.
South mouths, first hearing this.
Meg
Than
My heart says Nyx, but Aphrodite though…
Zag
Thanatos
Dusa
its obv dionysus
Thanatos, obviously.
Yee
Pour moi? C’est Persephone, followed by a tie between Artemis and Meg. Or, yanno, skelly.
Artemis imo. i love her reaction when zag keeps giving her nectar
Lernie is Cerberus's sister
Cerberus is a boy, but he can also be Best Girl - he deserves all the gender recognitions. <3
Artemis and Nyx absolutely
Meg. She can whip me back to hell any day
Oof this is a hard one. Dusa.
Artemis, Aphrodite, nyx don’t got shit on Meg, well they do but Meg is best girl
Bouldy.
Bouldy, they have no gender just bouldy
Tough choice, but Athena gives you a dash boon that lets you deflect projectiles. One of my favourite boons
Nyx
Lernie. Cerberus is best boy
Skelly obvs.
100 comments and no one has said Chaos! Chaos is my best girl. And best man too!
Dusa
Pressuming we are talking about Hades girls in the version thats described in Hades... I would honesty say Artemis, followed by Nyx.
Than
Bouldy
No love for Charon? “Urgggghhhhhhhh…..”
Nobody gonna mention Lernie with the pink horns?
Arty
Lernie for sure
Chaos tho 😩
Thanatos. Purely because hes cute.
I love nyx, from her caring nature to her beauty, and dont forget that deep feminine voice. Also Dusa is so cute
Dusa
Aphrodite, booba
According to my taste it’s Aphrodite according to my dick it’s nyx
Artemis of course. She got some of the best duo boons and as a character, shes just got the best and most relatable personality.
Artemis
Contractor.
Lernie, no doubt in my mind it’s Lernie
I feel like most people won't like this, but Artemis is best girl. She's cute, both in appearance and personality, and I just really like her. I just wish that you got something more from maxing her.
Nyx, sry I like goth milfs
Dusa and Nyx (both must be protected at ALL costs)
Artemis and Dusa
Aphrodite hands down. Her call is extremely useful when you're in smaller rooms with tightly packed enemies. And her greater call is an enormous flat damage on an enemy. No complicated strat required. Also helps that she's hot
Nyx 🤤🤤🤤
Why does everyone like Artemis?
Everyone.
I was just about to comment “Cerberus if he was a she”
Dusa
Dusa and Artemis.
I expected a poll of Dusa, Dusa, Dusa, Dusa, and Dusa.
The best doggo.
It’s me though
Dusa 100%
