re: How many runs did it take you to beat Hades the first time?

Cast depends on what weapon you are using since certain ones (bow, shield in particular) mess with your ability to use them.

Trippy Shot is up there. I tend to like Demeter’s frozen shot as well because, if it is an immobile enemy, you can get a ton of damage and frost on it.



As far as divine support goes, Aphrodite is up there because she can do 2500 damage at max. I believe Artemis can do the same, which is about 1/3 a boss’s health.
