Bro real talk, you really should do videos for the other gods you never got around to... your videos got me my first clear. And you generally just offer really technical, insightful bits of advice.

Thanks for what you have done, and I hope all is well with you.

Breaking Wave is my favourite boon in the game. It basically turns the Styx levels into a game of rat-pinball.

[johnnymontalvo]

Thanks for this. I feel like I never want to select Poseidon, but then when I do get him, I have a good run. I need to utilize him more.

[Eisenbahnpatrouille]

I enjoyed watching your video. Quick, to the point and rich in content 👌

People talk about Athena's dash all the time but Tidal Dash + Razor Shoals and some Pom upgrades pretty much mean you can just keep dashing all around and clear rooms no problem.

I really like the duo boon with Zeus with fast attacking weapons! You get so many lightning bolts with your knock backs! Melts everything

[enriquegarciacota]

Knockback on the dash (plus extra dash by Hermes) is how I first ascended. With the bow, nothing could touch me.

[hydrastuff]

My favorite build with Poseidon is a Pirate Stygius build with Zeus on attack, Poseidon on Special, Dionysus on dash, cast is free to Zeus or Poseidon. Get the Zeus/Pos duo boon and the boon that deals extra knockback to bosses and I have a good time

[guybrushthreepwood]

Is it true that bosses are immune to his knock back effects, making the +30% dmg to bosses boon worthless? Also I took his tidal dash with the sword and it seemed like it wasn't meant to be paired with that weapon. Am I correct or am I just bad, I'm new to Hades.

[kdavous]

Dio/Poseidon/x/x is the best. Rush and get their duo as fast as possible and then proceed to get five other duos

[duongho]

Knock back damage is massive. My fastest clears are with wall damage. It just doesn’t shine as well towards boss. Lucifer aspect, knockback, abd triple beam is hilarious
