15. Aphrodite's Aid

Times Used: 16
Times Cleared: 6
Ranked among Aphrodite: 3/5
Ranked among Calls: 2/8

This is actually the best defensive Call boon. For encounters, just getting one enemy off of you helps a lot. Having them fight the other enemies helps too, but it's mainly for lowering pressure. For bosses, Aphrodite's Aid actually cancels the boss' attack animations. Very helpful for actually dodging some of those attacks. On the offensive side, you just charge Aphrodite's Aid to its greater call. You just got to time it right so the greater call isn't wasted on a phase shield.

Ranked among Aphrodite: 2/5
Ranked among Specials: 4/8

A very good special. It does a lot of damage, it applies weak, it opens the gates to several Aphrodite duos. No negatives with getting it. You could get better specials, but you don't lose anything at all by getting Heartbreak Flourish.

13. Hunter Dash

Times Used: 21
Times Cleared: 12
Ranked among Artemis: 1/5
Ranked among Dashes: 2/8

Dash strikes are really good. You can actually stack up on dash strikes through Chaos and hammers. This is the only god boon I can think of that specifically targets dash strikes, too. This also gets you duos, specifically Hunting Blades, Crystal Clarity, and Lightning Rod. You can even get Fully Loaded just by having Hunter Dash as your only primary Artemis boon.

12. Trippy Shot

Times Used: 16
Times Cleared: 7
Ranked among Dionysus: 1/5
Ranked among Casts: 4/8

I don't like the lob, but I do respect the damage. Trippy Shot's also the go-to cast for Hera Bow or Beowulf Shield, for obvious reasons. While the damage is the key factor in picking Trippy Shot, the stun effect is a really nice bonus too. Both duos are very good and not too difficult to pick up. Honestly, that lob is the only thing keeping this boon from being higher.

11. Thunder Flourish

Times Used: 10
Times Cleared: 7
Ranked among Zeus: 2/5
Ranked among Specials: 3/8

A single thunder strike actually works very well with most of the specials. The only one it doesn't really work with is Bow. I generally like the lightning strike over the chain lightning when it comes to Zeus. I think it upgrades better than chain lightning and you get that sweet Sea Storm damage with lightning over chain lightning. Speaking of Sea Storm...
