Talos is pretty fun if you have a spare blood to try it out, you might like it.Įris rail is one of the best aspects in the game, so if you like the playstyle, you can level that one as much as you want and it just keeps getting better. The other three are similarly strong, I like Zagreus, Demeter is the most powerful at level 5. Shield is a great beginner weapon overall because of the invincibility from blocking.įor fist, the hidden aspect barely even improves past level 1, but you have to unlock the aspect first which takes a while.

The hidden aspect is also very usable at level 1.

Stats: BASH: (+25 Damage) Press Attack Button to Strike BULL RUSH: (Partial Charge: +20-39 Damage / Max Charge: +40 Damage) Hold Attack to Defend. Lord Zeus used the shield to banish his father and the Titans to the Underworld. Zagreus is not as good but if you can spend 5 blood it is plenty potent. Aegis/Shield of Chaos One of the infernal arms, wielded by Lord Zeus and his favorite daughter Athena. Before the likes of Returnal and Hades, there were games in the trenches, fighting to make Roguelike games the popular sub-genre it is today. It's the most beginner friendly caster/bloodstone weapon.Īchilles Spear is strong at level 1 for the mobility, and strong at level 5 for the ridiculous damage bonus.Ĭhaos is the strongest shield aspect by far, but imo you want level 4 before it's really good. It's very powerful and very safe once you have the 6 blood to put into it. I think Chiron bow is actually pretty great as like your 3rd or 4th aspect, after you have a couple good level 1 aspects.

For any of the ones that scales upward linearly (+1 arrow per level, +25% damage per level, etc.), I think they start being good at level 3 (6 or 7 blood total), and then the next 2 levels help to scale into higher difficulty levels.
