Alpha Tier

5. Crystal Beam

Times Used: 16
Times Cleared: 4
Ranked among Demeter: 2/5
Ranked among Casts: 2/8

I especially like Crystal Beam with Infernal Soul. I can either set 3 up in the same direction for a ton of damage or I can set 3 up facing in different directions for coverage. You either need to get Crystal Clarity or Glacial Glare (or both!) for it to really get going, which is actually fairly simple to get. What's really nice about Crystal Beam is that you can set it down and then you can just ignore that area for a bit.

4. Flood Shot

Times Used: 13
Times Used: 9
Ranked among Poseidon: 1/5
Ranked among Casts: 1/8

Flood Shot has it all. First off, it lodges itself in the enemy for Boiling/Abyssal Blood. It's an attack that makes sense to have knockback on. It unlocks several of the knockback bonuses that Poseidon needs to get stronger. If you want to do damage, go straight for Blizzard Shot.

3. Heartbreak Strike

Ranked among Aphrodite: 1/5
Ranked among Attacks: 2/8

2. Frost Strike

Times Used: 20
Times Cleared: 8
Ranked among Demeter: 1/5
Ranked among Attacks: 1/8

Both strikes are very good. They apply an easy status to get you one step closer to Privileged Status. They both have high damage potential, while also applying protecting you since both statuses are defensive in nature. Both Aphrodite and Demeter gets a ton of useful duos. I like going for Frost Strike a little bit more, because I like getting to 10 Freeze and triggering Arctic Blast with certain weapons like Rail and Fists.

1. Divine Dash

Times Used: 51
TImes Cleared: 19
Ranked among Artemis: 1/5
Ranked among Dashes: 1/8

Divine Dash is very unique. I hunt for the other 4 boons in my top 5. I don't hunt for Divine Dash. I want as high rarity as I can get for most boons. Divine Dash...I'm happy with just Common. It's always a good boon to get. Your survivability just shoots up with having Divine Dash on you. I think everyone has relied on Divine Dash at some point in Hades. The point where I realized that I'm good at Hades is when I don't have to automatically pick Divine Dash anymore.

Being completely and utterly invulnerable to everything while dashing is just so good. It's also the easiest way to actually deflect anything. You get a decent amount of duos (including Stubborn Roots, another excellent survivability boon) and opens the door to Divine Protection. It's a shame that it doesn't open up Deadly Reversal or Merciful End, but I'll take what I can get.

Next up...Chaos. A little bit of a breather after two heavy rankings.

I feel completely refreshed. Like I just put on fresh underwear on New Year's Day.
