With Supergiant’s bombastic game Hades<\/a> recently releasing onto Switch and PC with its 1.0 version, it’s a good time to take a look into its mechanics and help the newer players out. The game has been selling extremely well since it left early access<\/a> and tons of people are discovering it and falling in love. In Hades<\/a>, players take the role of Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld, as he desperately tries to escape it and see the outside world.<\/p>\n

To help in his escape, Zagreus can use a variety of different weapons such as a sword, bow, shield, spear, gauntlets, and even a gun. All of these weapons have an Attack, a Special, and a Cast. These “Infernal Arms” play incredibly differently and have a variety of different “Aspects” to them, but today we’re focusing on which upgrades (called boons) work best for each one.\u00a0That said, be\u00a0careful with your Nectar<\/a>!\u00a0A lot of these builds need specific rare boons, so collect all the Godly Keepsakes as quickly as possible if they can.<\/p>\n

Updated February 26, 2021 by Jacob Buchalter:<\/strong><\/em> This incredible title by Supergiant Games has only grown in popularity since this piece first came out. Since then, Hades has won awards, scored obscenely well on most game critic sites<\/a>, released on Switch, announced an upcoming physical edition of the game<\/a>, and more. So, it’s time to re-look at all of Zagreus’ favorite weapons and go a bit more in-depth with what Olympic boons work with each one of them.<\/p>\n

Now including every single Olympus God (except Hades himself, sadly enough<\/a>), which of their boons tend to blend well with all six of Hades’ weapon choices?<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: Combat actions with each weapon in Hades are broken down into their Attack, Special, and Cast. So, buffing a weapon’s Attack isn’t the same as buffing the weapon’s entire damage output.<\/strong><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>The Stygian Blade –\u00a0“Stygius”<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Zagreus’ main weapon is up first, the Stygian Blade. It’s what\u00a0you’re forced to use in the tutorial run and it’s as basic as they come. This Infernal Arm has a medium attack range, medium damage, and some pretty basic strikes. The only truly unique part about it is the Special \u2014 which does an area-of-effect burst. Typically, you’ll want to use boons that capitalize on boosting the raw damage of the special and the speed of the attack. Use the attack to inflict statuses like Jolt, Chill, or Hangover and use the special for burst damage or for statuses like Doom and Weak. Some examples of fantastic boons for the Stygian Blade are:<\/p>\n
