The Fists require Zagreus to remain up close and personal to his enemies, placing him in high danger from counterattacks, particularly from armoured foes who wonвЂ™t be stun-locked by the wave of pummelling attacks until their shields are broken.Д«ut with careful precision, players can have Zagreus use dash attacks to both avoid damage and maintain an unending string of attacks.ДЄthenaвЂ™s вЂDivine StrikeвЂ™ attack boon combines magnificently with with FistsвЂ™ high attack rate, ensuring that many foesвЂ™ attacks will be deflected even as they are being beaten down. The Twin FistsвЂ™ are a brawlerвЂ™s glass-cannon weapon that boast an extremely high attack rate, and are a personal favourite.

Combine this with AthenaвЂ™s вЂDivine DashвЂ™ boon to become about as safe as you can possibly be in Hades. Many players recommend choosing AresвЂ™ вЂCurse of PainвЂ™ special boon in conjunction with the вЂAspect of ChaosвЂ™, which will help spread the delayed damage Doom effect to enemies near and far.В Zagreus can crouch safely behind his shield, then throw out the bouncing-shield special while dashing away from incoming attacks. The shieldвЂ™s вЂhold to defendвЂ™ feature can keep Zagreus safe from almost any attack, including huge area-of-effect attacks used by bosses.ДЄnd of course, get ready for the Captain America references.

Groups of enemies can easily be disrupted and knocked around by charging amidst them and throwing out a flurry of basic and dash attacks, plus bonus damage from bashing foes against walls and edges can add up quickly.

If you enjoy having a handy portable metal wall to carry around with you and bully enemies into corners, the Shield is the choice for you. The Aspect of Achilles is considered a strong pick for its handy additional mobility options, but for builds that aim to boost the power of the SpearвЂ™s special attack (especially using the вЂExploding LauncherвЂ™ and вЂCharged SkewerвЂ™ Hammer upgrades), the Aspect of Zagreus is the more optimal choice. The spear-throw specialвЂ™s damage is lacklustre, and its charge-up spin attack too slow and risky to be consistently relied upon.Д«oons that deal per-attack damage bonuses, especially ZeusвЂ™ and to a lesser extent Dionysus, Ares and DemeterвЂ™s, will combine well with Hammer upgrades that grant additional attacks, such as вЂFlurry JabвЂ™ and вЂSerrated PointвЂ™. Its saving grace is the long reach of its base and dash attacks, which will allow you to avoid most potential counterattacks by remaining just outside of their range. Unfortunately, the Spear is one of the weaker picks among Hades weapons, and feels slightly over-reliant on lucky boon or Hammer finds to achieve potential that even approaches alternative choices.

Picking up the вЂCharged VolleyвЂ™ Hammer upgrade will give you the means to unload volleys of arrows into weakened opponents at point-blank range for thousands of points of damage, making it extremely effective at destroying bosses. Dionysus, Poseidon or AresвЂ™ cast abilities allow Zagreus to front-load a huge burst of damage into distant enemies вЂ“ and if theyвЂ™re clumped up, even better. Using the Aspect of Hera, finding cast boons that deal massive area-of-effect damage are a must. The вЂRelentless VolleyвЂ™ and вЂConcentrated VolleyвЂ™ Daedalus Hammer upgrades will boost the specialвЂ™s damage greatly, making them desirable finds on any Chiron bow build. With the Aspect of Chiron, boons that amplify the incredible specialвЂ™s damage are natural picks, with ArtemisвЂ™ вЂDeadly FlourishвЂ™ being a particularly strong pick thanks to the additional critical damage. The base bow is considered to be a relatively weak pick, but the Chiron and Hera Aspects present a variety of powerful options. The Bow presents a relatively safe option for Zagreus, allowing him to kite enemies toward him while peppering them with arrows at range. The Blade becomes practically unstoppable with the вЂDouble EdgeвЂ™ Daedalus Hammer upgrade, which causes dash strikes to hit twice, and amplifies each hitвЂ™s damage by 30%.ДЄ special mention goes to the Aspect of Poseidon, which is used in builds that rely on cast for damage, but almost never deal damage with the Blade itself. Boons from Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter, Poseidon, or Artemis that boost attack damage are a natural pick, and keep an eye out for boons from Chaos that raise the damage of dash attacks further still.

The superiority of the dash-dash-special combo synergises particularly well with the BladeвЂ™s Aspect of Nemesis, taking full advantage of its bonus to critical hit chance.
