Were it not for Poseidon's lackluster performance on bosses, he'd be my favorite god. Especially in Styx, where the tight chambers eviscerate all the vermin with breaking wave and other boons.
I'll have to use a good special or dash build to use Poseidon if Wave Pounding is going to work well, and simply increasing damage, even if it made up for the lack of wall slams and Breaking Wave isn't as fun as using those other boons.
20:12 In early access? It happened to me on the Switch version a couple of times now! Maybe the Switch version isn't quite as up-to-date internally as the PC build? I know that when it happens, the game freezes for a bit, "CORNERED" appears above the boss, and next thing I know, a huge chunk of the health bar is gone.
Someone should make a mod where it changes Hades to one of the other gods on Olympus. and the gods only use their own boons but can call on other gods for like the duo boons.
Tbh Poseidon "monobuild" (to an extent you can actually pull off in a non-modded game) is probably the classic way to play anything Poseidon. Except Sea Storm builds, I guess? Similar thing goes to Zeus, I would say.
I know this is out of context but it just popped into my mind when I saw it. Is Grampa still alive? I don't watch the Twitch streams so I'm not in the loop.
It wouldn't register since all it does and create a second knockback which may or may not trigger things like Breaking Wave or Typhoon's Fury. It's typically worse than the other things on offer since Poseidon has a lot of good tier 2s.
The only thing that I can think of that would make second wave even remotely useful. is using it with a Sea Storm build because it does trigger Sea Storm a second time. Or you could just get Double strike from Zeus. Ya Second Wave is trash. And so is the fishing Legendary as well. If it gave you like a global damage boost for each fish caught in a run with it active with the fishing chance bumped up to 80%. Then maybe it could be useful.
So only athenas left? Do you plan on doing one last episode with her? I bet she would be the hardest though. Maybe Arthur could make her work well, as you would be mostly defensive you might want to go all in for a facetank build.
I've always been kind of surprised how low your valuation of almost all of Poseidon's kit is. His call in particular is such a ridiculously hard carry, especially if you get anything to boost how quickly you gain meter.
I don't know how much I should trust twitch chat but ever since I've read that those "ahem"s could hurt your throat on the long run I'm very concerned. I'm glad you are enjoying it, but hope it won't cause any harm
@@Haelian I'm so sorry! I was connecting my Bluetooth headphones and missed it. I understand your frustration having to respond to comments like this, and that's absolutely where I should have checked before commenting. This was a cool run to see! And thanks for all the great videos you make on indie games. I've recently started playing death must die and balatro because of you!
The handyman company slogan had a hidden comma. "No, job too small"
"Works on contingency? No, money down!"

Well, there is a specific boon for that and it makes a huge difference.
Yeah the one boon for damaging bosses is clutch.
Sure, wave pounding makes up for some damage, but that isn't nearly as fun as enemies bouncing around and dying a watery death
dude you should try wave pounding

That posiden attack animation when you use the sheild charge is pretty great.

Ah yes could be, couldn't remember if it's still a thing or not (Switch and PC versions have been the same since 2021).
personally, i've never liked the idea that some enemies can "block" meg
Beautiful harmony at the start!

Would be an extremely complex mod to make and animate.
@@unkindled6410 yeah but imagine🙏
the Poseidon sword would have been the cherry on top
Traids slow down in the winter, try to get an electrison or carpenter around February.
The handyman taking over rant is hilarious!

So called freethinkers when HUUUUGEEEE CATCH is offered
does the audio cut out for anyone else after phase 3 hades
Can you make a mod where you start with lv 1000 high voltage? It would be fun to see the thunderbolt hit the whole map
"whats a christmas themed video game?"
Bayonetta 2, your honor
Thumbnail check
0:24 you should have taken posidens sword
mod it so Zeus lightning bolt don't have internal cooldown
Hmmm....
ay is there a video of the 64 heat run that he mentioned, the one that doesnt use zeus special

He's doing splendid!
@@Haelian Good, I'm glad. Thank you. I was just curious, my apologies if I was too nosy.
damn i had no idea poseidon legendary wasn't good. have you used the dps meter with it?

How do you only get one olympian god boon to show up the whole time?
Dang, a 1 god only that didn't get all of the boons? Kinda wild lol, scammed by the door rolls 😂😂

@@qwex4244 Thanks for treating my comment that I worded carefully and intentionally like I'm a total noob, that's not irritating at all, no sirree.
Maybe do only hera run

HELLO SPARKNFIRE!

Is this modded?
Yes (as I state in the first 10 seconds of the video)
