I just died for the first time and it looks like I can start investing in regaining vitality after everytime I finish a dungeon. Is that just for chumps because you have unlimited lives?

Also I see that I can buy the bow n arrow but would it replace my sword? Does the bow suck? >_>

these are probably dumb questions but jc

You don't have unlimited lives, you start from the beginning each time you die. The upgrades from the mirror are good because they persist between runs.

The bow replaces your sword. Every weapon offers a different playstyle, I like them all except for one of them.

Not sure what you mean.
Very light mechanics spoilers: You can upgrade weapons independently later on and these upgrades are also permanent.

focus on the purple currency. You want to invest in upgrades the mirror. More lives, more HP and increasing rarity of boons.

Also give nectar to every npc (including Cerberus) especially the Gods

And yeah dont worry about dying. Just play around with the different god powers to see what you like

Personally i like Artemis's deflection powers (op against bosses/enemies who use projectiles) and Demeter's ability to chill enemies

When you see the option to buy a new weapon, do so. Experiment with weapons and find one that feels good to you.

Buy mirror upgrades as much as possible.

And mild spoiler and a good early game edge on the difficulty: give your first nectar to cerberus, he gives you a trinket that gives you extra max health and is very good for getting deeper into your first few runs.

yes, you don't keep that between runs. dying is how you progress, sometimes you'll need to get some better mirror upgrades or change to the alternate ones. and you can just end up with a bad build sometimes too, although this is easier to avoid after you play for a while

Many people think the shield is the best. I think it's good but doesn't best the bow.

Later you'll unlock different playstyles for each weapon which gives you more variety.

With the right setup, the shield can literally make you invincible. Holding the attack button charges a dash attack, but the real advantage of doing this is that it raises the shield and blocks all attacks from the front, and you can pivot the shield to block in any direction. Offensively, it starts really weak and heavily depends on getting advantageous boons.

I might be the sword for the self heal.

The reason that it's really hard to pick one because I always pick the weapon that gives a bonus purple

Like the epic or rare perks? Did you have a favorite god? Tbh I dont like most of Aphrodites so far that ive seen

Also it feels like I have horrible luck with the boons :s

No I picked this weapon that gives the bonus purple currency which upgrades the mirror. Some of my favorite gods are Nature Queen, thunder God, God of War and god of the sea.

Though I tend to take boons from gods that suit the weapon well. For example if I take the bow I will get Poseidon's boon that enhances the primary attack so that all of my shots have knockback. If I have the fists I'll go for backstab mirror perks and relics and perks that add crit. If I get the shield I will get boons that apply debuffs (ares, Aphrodite and Dionysus) and buffs that help me tank hits head on like the damage reduction from Aphrodite and Athena.

Aphrodite may seem to have some of the least appealing boons but her ability to weaken enemies especially when used as an area of effect is really useful. Also she has some of the best boon fusion synergies with other gods (check the wiki for a list of all the boon fusions).

Remember if you feel like you have bad luck with Boons and you know you want a specific god, take their trinket so that you can get a boon from them immediately.

It's got short range but it attacks really fast so you can apply a lot of debuffs or have a better chance of scoring crits if you build around that.

Also one of it's alternative modes makes the alternate uppercut attack draw in enemies like a magnet and it's pretty cool.

Keys, not coins.
You should be working towards three thing right now. Using purple darkness to upgrade mirror perks, using keys to unlock all weapons and all mirror perks. Once you unlock all the weapons, you can start using the titans blood you got from the first boss.
