Lucky man. More than once I've had winning runs where all I had were miscellaneous boons with no slots filled besides like, dash until deep into elysium, because it was a choice between something useless to the build (Zeus attacks on a Hestia rail build...) or being patient. Anything to cancel out those worst case scenarios is a huge boon, pardon the pun.

Part of it might be I have zero qualms using rerolls early on to set up a build. I've had a few runs with bad boon RNG but nothing quantity of boons/earlier boons could fix (i.e., I take early Blade Rift and then don't get more Ares until Styx, Dionysus being useless on a sword run when I already have an attack and cast). I think you have a pretty compelling argument for actual speedruns or if you play with Routine Inspection/Approval Process but I try to avoid those whenever possible.

Also your example is funny to me because Zeus attack on gun is so good I'd personally just abandon the Hestia gimmick entirely in that situation
