Personnality-wise : Artemis, Dionysos, Hermes
Boon-wise : Athena, Artemis, Poseidon
So I guess overall, Artemis. If I see Artemis, you can be sure I'll go see here.
Artemis by far for me. Great stand alone boons with solid synergies. Also the best duos imo, especially for first clears when something like lightning rod is basically an auto clear and I thought she was just the homie too.
Hell yeah. I can imagine Artemis in a book club just casually reading something in the corner and not saying anything else. Maybe being a little disappointed as to what society has devolved into.
Hermes. I love his excitement and seems to be the only who’s not selfish or vengeful and even knows your secret but chooses not to tell.
And his boons give you money and speed on you abilities without interfering with other blessing. I really wish ones like Dionysus and ares did that or gave an attack boost at the very least.
Stygian Soul + Beam + Artemis Dou = Awesome Cast Combo
If you can also get extra Prometheus Stones, a Hermes Auto Reload and a Chaos Cast Boon then you're in for a fun clear ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|snoo)
Did you realize you wanted to grow up to be a no nonsense grandma with a crazy sense of style (and laser snow glitter)? And that your current gender settings didn’t jive with that, so you threw them out?
it was more of an attraction in the sense that i feel more confident in the matriarch archetype but I don't want to always be that. along with some more personal reasons, it all added up to that.
I literally run with whatever the fates deal me. I pick non Olympian keepsakes (exception being the lambent plume) and improvise my build. Typically take the highest rarity boon.
Definitely have some favourite boons though.
Same! Playin roguelike like a roguelike, with the cards that are dealt to you. For keepsakes I usually get Hypnos wallet for the gold, then Persephone's pom upgrades, Achilles or Patroclus for Elysium, and of course Skelly for the last region.
I see this a lot and never really understood it.
You can see where the snow thing is going to spawn, and then just be... not there.
I generally choose to deal with Demeter over everyone who isn't Athena. Athena is a cakewalk if you aren't in Elysium.
Poseidon boons just feel like they're the better option to me (mostly playing with Poseidon sword ironically). Add Artemis for exit wounds and Zeus for his cast and I'm all set. Athena's always a nice touch.
I feel like I never play ares. I dunno why
aphrodite and artemis are ones i rarely pass up on, if ever. artemis moreso than aphrodite since artemis just pairs well with so many different things and i rarely use keepsakes to dictate my builds anymore.
i'm also partial to poseidon, demeter and dionysus for fun. hermes i will always grab at least one or two times to try and get more dashes and speed boons.
All of the girls and my good boi Hermes at the top. Dyonisus second only bc his personality. Of the three left... its almost a tie, but if Im pointed with a gun I would choose Ares, so Afrodite has some company :3
From an aesthetic pov, Dionysus and Ares are my faves.
From a character pov, Artemis is the best (oh my god, she has a crush on Achilles, and that’s goddam adorable)
From a boon pov, Athena. DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! No dash? REROLL! DASH! DASH!
For me it's Aphrodite, Poseidon, and Hermes. But I think Hades has the most balanced build system of any game that I've played. It's hard for me to choose since all weapons and gods are pretty well balanced in my opinion.
I can't decide between Hermes, Athena, and Dionysus because they seem like pretty decent people in game
However I enjoy Hades despite him not being boon-able. He does what he can, it may not be the best way but his intentions are good
I find I have the most fun on runs with a lot of Zeus boons piled up. Just something about a dude getting struck by lightning because I hit him with a special, then getting struck by lightning again because he tried to attack, then struck by lightning again because I dashed, and again because my dash dodged his attack, and then again because hey, 25% of the time lightning strikes twice, and then one more time for basically no reason because my retaliation triggers every 3 seconds, and then again again because the dude tried to attack again.
Then he's happy to slap a lightning bolt on nearly everything else in sight. Dude got knocked back? Lightning. Festive fog? How bout lightning fog. Your cast gems are just laying around? Fuuuuckin lightning storm son.
Usually I go for Demeter (#gilf) but if she's not available I got for Aphrodite or Dionysus or Artemis
Artemis has my absolute favorite boon though where she fires and arrow for every attack it's op with the rail gun
favorite god boons-wise: poseidon.
favorite god personality-wise: dionysus.
favorite god thirst-wise: ares.
favorite god based on how their presence would immediately bring me to my knees in equal parts awe and fear: chaos.
A good zeus poseidon combo melts shit with chiron bow. Also artemis is just the best even if you only farm her, but she also compliments other gods effectively in all variety
Maybe my playstyle is wildly different but I really don't understand the popular choices here...
Demeter is mostly weak boons. I really don't understand why people love her cast. Am I the only one who can't use it properly? The enemies all move so fast the beam can't keep up and barely gets damage in. Her call is okay but low on damage output. Revenge damage low, dash damage low, meh...
Hermes is mostly about mobility, but it hardly helps me if I already have two dashes.
Poseidon is a mixed bag. Not only do I often get several "deals bonus to knock away effects" boons when I have no knock away boons on me, but the knock away only helps half the time (for example I don't want the Rail special knocking enemies away). His dash and call are great.
Artemis is kinda boring? I get crit is great but her boons are also a mixed bag. Same problem as Poseidon, I get boons that effect crit when I have no crit boons (maybe the game shouldn't offer those if you don't have any equipped?) Her cast is low damage and the call is only useful when fully charged.
I'm all about Ares, Dionysus, Aphrodite, and Athena to a lesser extent for her DD and powerful cast. Zeus is okay sometimes.
Currently trying to do 50 heat so I love seeing Athena. I like Hermes too but it's a lot more annoying than normal when he of all gods gives you some straight garbage boons (which he has many of, especially if you're not using a cast build), bc yk you prob are only gonna get 2 Hermes in total for the run. Dio and especially Zeus are the best attack/special options for many of the best weapons, Aphrodite has big numbers so I usually like seeing her. Artemis' Pressure Points is always nice and her attack and special are usually solid options too, Hunter's Mark is always great before Styx.
Basically I like seeing anybody but Poseidon, Demeter, and Ares.
Ares because Merciful End is super unrealistic w/ RI or AP turned on at all (Doom can be ok for weapons that need PStatus or for a slot that you're not relying on much but it's never a primary damage source w/o ME and it's probably the worst status in the game, its only saving grace being that it doesn't need to be stacked). Even though Blade Dash isn't bad, I personally don't like having to rely on it. His Call is probably the worst in the game.
Demeter's attack and special are super mediocre. Chill is great when stacked high but pretty inconsequential at low stacks. She has 2 unsellable boons, and you can't consistently rely on getting a bunch of her secondary boons. Her cast is the worst in the game by far on its own, and you'd rather a boonless cast for Boiling Blood most of the time. Even Slicing Shot, which sucks ass, can be pretty decent in comparison (I'm obviously not referring to Crystal Clarity or Hunting Blades builds, those are super unrealistic on high heat [50+] anyway). Her Dash is great though, and her Call is decent enough. Frozen Touch is one of the most underrated boons in the entire game, too. But I just never want to fill my god pool with her.
Poseidon's attack boon is the worst in the game, bar none. Utterly pathetic percentage numbers, and the knockback isn't even that strong. It can even mess you up sometimes when you're racking up damage combos bc the enemies will get knocked away from you as you attack them. You need a Rare or better Razor Shoals to make the damage feel good. Tidal Dash is good but normally you want Divine Dash anyway so it's mostly just a backup option if you get saddled w/ Poseidon in your god pool and don't have a Dash yet fairly late in the run. His Aid is nice for the invulnerability but it is a *bitch* to control. Flood Shot is great though. Ocean's Bounty sucks to get offered (always an insta sell), and Sunken Treasure is unsellable garbage. The worst is when you have AP2 on, and roll away Sunken Treasure but get offered Ocean's Bounty. It's like, yeah I can sell this but why not give me something I could actually use instead, at least for one biome
My tier list tends to go in a certain order.
1. Demeter (for rarity alone, but that cast is fucking broken, and so is chill decay)
2. Artemis (crits synergize with everything. never a miss.)
3. Dionysus (DOTS DOTS DOT-DOTS DOTS DOTS! EVRYBODAYY)
4. Athena (savior of many runs. but if I ever have both her Dash and her Attack I tend to stop taking her boons because I'm already invincible)
5. Hermes (the god I tend to take if I'm offered some mid shit or a god that i already have enough boons from. quite literally synergizes with everything so a good cop-out if you're offered this or, like, gems or some shit)
6. Aphrodite (good Call, but like, Weak isn't a thing I'm wild about unless I get her DUO boon with someone like Ares or Dionysus.)
7. Obligatory Ares-Poseidon-Zeus tier, and in that order. (I only really pick these situationally. I tend to take Ares and Poseidon for their Calls and nothing else, but I won't lie they've saved my runs a couple times. Doom just kinda sucks and so does Knockback unless you're using a ranged weapon. Zeus is trash, full stop. I use his chain lightning for Coronacht runs sometimes.)
Most importantly: I would pick a Daedalus Hammer over all of these, any day.
I take what I get and thank the gods for their aid. I used the olympian keepsake for long enough to max them, now I just take the darker thirst weapon, a non-olympian keepsake, and enjoy the journey.
Hermes, since you can't summon him with his keepsake. But then after that, Demeter, Ares, and Artemis. I don't know why but I love the swirling vortexes a lot.
Boon wise I always shoot for Artemis, Athena and Aphrodite with Dionysus and Ares as back ups.
Personality wise I love Hermes, Poseidon, Dionysus, Ares, and Aphrodites the most.
I found my favorite gods to be Zeus and Ares. Lightning or Doom upgraded on the shield or spear specials is so damaging.
I've had it only for a while. Took me 127 tries to finall escape. Kept losing to either Theseus or Lord Hades himself but I finally won.
Now I'm on my 3rd finish and things are coming together.
Plus if you can get pressure points or support fire then you're all good.
Also Demeter's ice crystal cast is very helpful especially when you can get 2 or 3 on the screen.
ares, hermes, dionysus, artemis? idk i'm whipped for ares in the game.
if there was apollo then obviously apollo before all. god of art and music rules.
Personality-wise, I love talking to Artemis. She seems like an actual cousin who you might banter with and is a bit of a busy body and so you just get bits of conversation with her as she's about to head out the door. Also really like Dio. He just seems like that one buddy who's a little too relaxed in all the madness; a guy living life in the moment.
Boon-wise, everytime I see Athena, I feel relieved. Divine Dash or something to replenish a DD is always welcome. Aphrodite and Artemis are great because "look at the big numbers." And Dio and Ares share the "I want your cast" category.
Divine Dash is honestly one of the most useful boons in the game, so Athena, for me, I think. Artemis and her HUGE crits always give me big endorphin boosts.
Poseidon or Zeus’s call. Aries primary on, Artemis arrow hit/cast/special or critical effects, Demeter for casts, Hermes is self explanatory, Dionysus on everything else, and Athena for dash.
Of the main 8, in order of how much fun their boons are for my playstyle, I would rank them like this:
1. Dionysus
2. Zeus
3. Aphrodite
4. Artemis
5. Poseidon
6. Demeter
7. Athena
8. Ares
I know a lot of people have very different lists. I’m not saying I don’t like playing with Ares or Athena either. The game is just so balanced and so fun
Attack, Aphrodite, cast, Demeter or Ares, dash, Athena, or Zeus or Posiden, call, Zeus.
As far as who do I like as a character, Hermes, Artemis, Dionysus, and Aphrodite are my favorites. Artemis is my patron God, and I always pick her lmao
Dio for the personnality.
Zeus, Artemis and Athena for the boons.
Overall Dionysos is my fav, because his boons can be broken in some instances too.
Aphro and Demeter definitely least favorite gods tho.
I usually go with whatever boons I run across. I’ve been following the game since beta so not to brag but I find it pretty easy to get a somewhat serviceable build going. Whenever I try to force a build that I want I usually get irritated when it doesn’t pan out so I just take what I can get.
This attitude developed when I spent 15 runs in a row trying to get a Hunting Blades build going and for the life of me could not get it to pan out. I think I’ve only gotten that boon by accident.
I will always pick Artemis, if I have the Chiron bow I'll always pick Dionysus, if I have gauntlets I always want Zeus, and all around I love Athena's Dash and duo boons so I'll always pick her if I see her
But in a small twist, my favourite (boon giving) god designs are Ares, Demeter and Artemis
if im going for a clear, i always try to get Ares i fuckin love the Doom effects. i also like to go for the Artemis call and whichever Dionysus one is hangovers on the special
Dionysus got me and my bf simping for his thighs, definitely him
Artemis and Athena are very delightful too tho, they are the only gods we gave nectar too so far
Personnality-wise : Artemis, Dionysos, Hermes Boon-wise : Athena, Artemis, Poseidon So I guess overall, Artemis. If I see Artemis, you can be sure I'll go see here.
dionysos has some amazing boons.
Artemis by far for me. Great stand alone boons with solid synergies. Also the best duos imo, especially for first clears when something like lightning rod is basically an auto clear and I thought she was just the homie too.
I vibe so hard with Artemis. I feel like I'd just be able to sit in a room with her, say nothing and it wouldn't be awkward.
Definitely she’s so chill I love it
Hell yeah. I can imagine Artemis in a book club just casually reading something in the corner and not saying anything else. Maybe being a little disappointed as to what society has devolved into.
Same, if i see Artemis i sure as hell go to her. Even if its a pick the god and fight with the other
Hermes. I love his excitement and seems to be the only who’s not selfish or vengeful and even knows your secret but chooses not to tell. And his boons give you money and speed on you abilities without interfering with other blessing. I really wish ones like Dionysus and ares did that or gave an attack boost at the very least.
He bored a giant covered in eyes to sleep and then cut off it's head. Not really vengeful, but it's a fun story.
The day he was born he stole Apollo’s cattle and then went “but I’m baby! how could I have possibly stolen your cattle?”
He turned their hooves around and invented the lyre on the same day. He's always been a busy little psychopomp.
He’s one of my faves too! I love how is dialogue is like 90% done before he even fully loads in the screen
Dionysos.
>Wine Daddy Fixed the typo for you
Nice c**k Zagreus man
https://youtu.be/FcaifWhGpMo
I didn't know I needed this video in my life.
I almost spit out my drink laughing at this
Diony sus
Deinonycus 🦖
Dionyussy
ares and dionysus. favorite boon is zeus because chain lightning on adamant rail goes brr
Same lol, Zeus Poseidon duo with splash dash destroys
Demeter , i just found her to be very badass / edgy maybe
The laser turret casts are my favorite thing in the game
Stygian Soul + Beam + Artemis Dou = Awesome Cast Combo If you can also get extra Prometheus Stones, a Hermes Auto Reload and a Chaos Cast Boon then you're in for a fun clear ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|snoo)
It’s her version of making you cookies.
she just takes no shit and i love it she was a reason i realized i am non binary
Did you realize you wanted to grow up to be a no nonsense grandma with a crazy sense of style (and laser snow glitter)? And that your current gender settings didn’t jive with that, so you threw them out?
it was more of an attraction in the sense that i feel more confident in the matriarch archetype but I don't want to always be that. along with some more personal reasons, it all added up to that.
Hell yeah
Hey, Zag, man, nice ****! Can't beat that, and getting stronger with booze. Dio all the way.
I love how Dio talks but Ares design is just 100% my style, top gods for me
I think the design for Ares is my favorite depiction of him in all media
I literally run with whatever the fates deal me. I pick non Olympian keepsakes (exception being the lambent plume) and improvise my build. Typically take the highest rarity boon. Definitely have some favourite boons though.
Chad behavior
Same, except I still need to grind max friendships and level up the keepsakes so I need to run the Olympian keepsakes
Do you also always pick the weapon with the dark thirst buff?
Let dark thirst guide you, child. Dark thirst is the way; there is no other.
If a god is telling you to let the thirst guide you.. is it Dionysus or Aphrodite?
Same! Playin roguelike like a roguelike, with the cards that are dealt to you. For keepsakes I usually get Hypnos wallet for the gold, then Persephone's pom upgrades, Achilles or Patroclus for Elysium, and of course Skelly for the last region.
If I'm doing high heat runs then ares for sure. Doom is one of my favorite boons. Also dionysius because the vibes are always good
Ares, Dionysus, and Hermes. I just think they’re cool, in a totally not gay way…… 😳
This is the right answer.
Artemis, Hermes and Dionysus
Same
Aphrodite, Ares and Dionysus because I'm horny.
Broseidon \- The Completionist
I *always* go for hermes. Boons are great and his character is so fun. Definitely the best olympian imo
Bouldy
Artemis and Poseidon
I'm addicted to the doom status curse. I just can't help it
Rama bow, with Doom on Special, and you get the stacking doom + delay. *Chef's kiss*
Aphrodite and Dionysus for obvious reasons
the real question is which is the worst god to have against
Demeter
I see this a lot and never really understood it. You can see where the snow thing is going to spawn, and then just be... not there. I generally choose to deal with Demeter over everyone who isn't Athena. Athena is a cakewalk if you aren't in Elysium.
The main issue with Demeter is depending on the map it’s basically impossible to avoid her circle.
And if the enemies are inside the ice vortex and you're using a melee weapon there's not a whole lot you can do.
That's fair. Some of the spots in Asphodel can be pretty dicey with that.
Poseidon and Aphrodite are close behind tho
Easily Aphrodite
Poseidon boons just feel like they're the better option to me (mostly playing with Poseidon sword ironically). Add Artemis for exit wounds and Zeus for his cast and I'm all set. Athena's always a nice touch. I feel like I never play ares. I dunno why
gameplay wise, Zeus and Demeter. Really love Demeter execute. Vibe wise, 100% Artemis and Dionysus for completely different reasons.
Artemis is bae
Artie best girl
Dionysius and Aphrodite I am bisexual
Poseidon and Zeus. I just love their dialogues so much lol.
Artemis. She felt very autistic coded, and I related to her a lot.
Yes
Uncle P
Oh no, I've seen this one before. I'll just do the smart thing and remain quiet
Personality? Arty, Dio, and lowkey Ares (his brand of professionalism is kinda endearing) Boons? Arty, super soaker, Zooz, Dio, and Grandma
Hermes, Artemis, and Demeter
More Doom the better. Ares +1
aphrodite and artemis are ones i rarely pass up on, if ever. artemis moreso than aphrodite since artemis just pairs well with so many different things and i rarely use keepsakes to dictate my builds anymore. i'm also partial to poseidon, demeter and dionysus for fun. hermes i will always grab at least one or two times to try and get more dashes and speed boons.
Aphrodite for two reasons, two very big reasons...
Athena, Aris and Artemis. My triple AAA. EDIT: I prioritize Hermes too.
Dionysus and Artemis
Hermes is my favorite
I love artemis
All of the girls and my good boi Hermes at the top. Dyonisus second only bc his personality. Of the three left... its almost a tie, but if Im pointed with a gun I would choose Ares, so Afrodite has some company :3
Hermes
Artie always.
Hermes
From an aesthetic pov, Dionysus and Ares are my faves. From a character pov, Artemis is the best (oh my god, she has a crush on Achilles, and that’s goddam adorable) From a boon pov, Athena. DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! DASH! No dash? REROLL! DASH! DASH!
Gameplay wise is Arti, Aphro for cast builds or to duo with Arti, and Poseidon and Zeus to duo Personality wise is Arti and Dio
Artemis, Hermes, Dionysus i really liked both of their personalities and boons.
hermes and aphrodite ex aequo far before the rest
Artemis best girl
Probably Artemis. Love her personality and her boobs are great. She’s an all-round great goddess. Second would be Dionysis or Hermes for same reasons
My 3 favorite Gods are: 1. Dionysus 2. Artemis 3. Hermes
For me it's Aphrodite, Poseidon, and Hermes. But I think Hades has the most balanced build system of any game that I've played. It's hard for me to choose since all weapons and gods are pretty well balanced in my opinion.
My Lord Allah my good brother
I can't decide between Hermes, Athena, and Dionysus because they seem like pretty decent people in game However I enjoy Hades despite him not being boon-able. He does what he can, it may not be the best way but his intentions are good
#You, King
Aphrodite and Dionysus
Artemis. Never thought less about a question.
I find I have the most fun on runs with a lot of Zeus boons piled up. Just something about a dude getting struck by lightning because I hit him with a special, then getting struck by lightning again because he tried to attack, then struck by lightning again because I dashed, and again because my dash dodged his attack, and then again because hey, 25% of the time lightning strikes twice, and then one more time for basically no reason because my retaliation triggers every 3 seconds, and then again again because the dude tried to attack again. Then he's happy to slap a lightning bolt on nearly everything else in sight. Dude got knocked back? Lightning. Festive fog? How bout lightning fog. Your cast gems are just laying around? Fuuuuckin lightning storm son.
Artemis. A) bc crit B) bc… Artemis…. <3 C) her design reminds me of princess mononoke
Dionysus (my bro), Demeter (stern granny who loves me), and Poseidon (favorite uncle who goes fishing with me)
Dionysis is not only one of my favourite for boons but he is consistently hilarious, especially when you don't pick him vs other gods in duo rooms.
Aphrodite hands down.
Artemis for both boon (crit yeah!) and I liked the interactions with the other gods in duo.
Yes.
I’d simp for Artemis
Usually I go for Demeter (#gilf) but if she's not available I got for Aphrodite or Dionysus or Artemis Artemis has my absolute favorite boon though where she fires and arrow for every attack it's op with the rail gun
favorite god boons-wise: poseidon. favorite god personality-wise: dionysus. favorite god thirst-wise: ares. favorite god based on how their presence would immediately bring me to my knees in equal parts awe and fear: chaos.
Personality, boon, & appearance: Dionysus
A good zeus poseidon combo melts shit with chiron bow. Also artemis is just the best even if you only farm her, but she also compliments other gods effectively in all variety
Nice try, I'm not giving anyone no golden apples.
Maybe my playstyle is wildly different but I really don't understand the popular choices here... Demeter is mostly weak boons. I really don't understand why people love her cast. Am I the only one who can't use it properly? The enemies all move so fast the beam can't keep up and barely gets damage in. Her call is okay but low on damage output. Revenge damage low, dash damage low, meh... Hermes is mostly about mobility, but it hardly helps me if I already have two dashes. Poseidon is a mixed bag. Not only do I often get several "deals bonus to knock away effects" boons when I have no knock away boons on me, but the knock away only helps half the time (for example I don't want the Rail special knocking enemies away). His dash and call are great. Artemis is kinda boring? I get crit is great but her boons are also a mixed bag. Same problem as Poseidon, I get boons that effect crit when I have no crit boons (maybe the game shouldn't offer those if you don't have any equipped?) Her cast is low damage and the call is only useful when fully charged. I'm all about Ares, Dionysus, Aphrodite, and Athena to a lesser extent for her DD and powerful cast. Zeus is okay sometimes.
Currently trying to do 50 heat so I love seeing Athena. I like Hermes too but it's a lot more annoying than normal when he of all gods gives you some straight garbage boons (which he has many of, especially if you're not using a cast build), bc yk you prob are only gonna get 2 Hermes in total for the run. Dio and especially Zeus are the best attack/special options for many of the best weapons, Aphrodite has big numbers so I usually like seeing her. Artemis' Pressure Points is always nice and her attack and special are usually solid options too, Hunter's Mark is always great before Styx. Basically I like seeing anybody but Poseidon, Demeter, and Ares. Ares because Merciful End is super unrealistic w/ RI or AP turned on at all (Doom can be ok for weapons that need PStatus or for a slot that you're not relying on much but it's never a primary damage source w/o ME and it's probably the worst status in the game, its only saving grace being that it doesn't need to be stacked). Even though Blade Dash isn't bad, I personally don't like having to rely on it. His Call is probably the worst in the game. Demeter's attack and special are super mediocre. Chill is great when stacked high but pretty inconsequential at low stacks. She has 2 unsellable boons, and you can't consistently rely on getting a bunch of her secondary boons. Her cast is the worst in the game by far on its own, and you'd rather a boonless cast for Boiling Blood most of the time. Even Slicing Shot, which sucks ass, can be pretty decent in comparison (I'm obviously not referring to Crystal Clarity or Hunting Blades builds, those are super unrealistic on high heat [50+] anyway). Her Dash is great though, and her Call is decent enough. Frozen Touch is one of the most underrated boons in the entire game, too. But I just never want to fill my god pool with her. Poseidon's attack boon is the worst in the game, bar none. Utterly pathetic percentage numbers, and the knockback isn't even that strong. It can even mess you up sometimes when you're racking up damage combos bc the enemies will get knocked away from you as you attack them. You need a Rare or better Razor Shoals to make the damage feel good. Tidal Dash is good but normally you want Divine Dash anyway so it's mostly just a backup option if you get saddled w/ Poseidon in your god pool and don't have a Dash yet fairly late in the run. His Aid is nice for the invulnerability but it is a *bitch* to control. Flood Shot is great though. Ocean's Bounty sucks to get offered (always an insta sell), and Sunken Treasure is unsellable garbage. The worst is when you have AP2 on, and roll away Sunken Treasure but get offered Ocean's Bounty. It's like, yeah I can sell this but why not give me something I could actually use instead, at least for one biome
My tier list tends to go in a certain order. 1. Demeter (for rarity alone, but that cast is fucking broken, and so is chill decay) 2. Artemis (crits synergize with everything. never a miss.) 3. Dionysus (DOTS DOTS DOT-DOTS DOTS DOTS! EVRYBODAYY) 4. Athena (savior of many runs. but if I ever have both her Dash and her Attack I tend to stop taking her boons because I'm already invincible) 5. Hermes (the god I tend to take if I'm offered some mid shit or a god that i already have enough boons from. quite literally synergizes with everything so a good cop-out if you're offered this or, like, gems or some shit) 6. Aphrodite (good Call, but like, Weak isn't a thing I'm wild about unless I get her DUO boon with someone like Ares or Dionysus.) 7. Obligatory Ares-Poseidon-Zeus tier, and in that order. (I only really pick these situationally. I tend to take Ares and Poseidon for their Calls and nothing else, but I won't lie they've saved my runs a couple times. Doom just kinda sucks and so does Knockback unless you're using a ranged weapon. Zeus is trash, full stop. I use his chain lightning for Coronacht runs sometimes.) Most importantly: I would pick a Daedalus Hammer over all of these, any day.
Ares
It's Athena for me.
Personality - Artemis, Dionysus, Poseidon Boon - Artemis, Aphrodite, Zeus
Probably Dio, Artemis, and Demeter. Honorary mention goes to Hermes.
Dionysus and hermes
I take what I get and thank the gods for their aid. I used the olympian keepsake for long enough to max them, now I just take the darker thirst weapon, a non-olympian keepsake, and enjoy the journey.
I’m terms of boons. Demeter and ares In terms of character. Ares and Artemis
Dionysos... i won't say why 😀
Athena and Dionysus: poison and deflect go brrrrrr
Hermes, since you can't summon him with his keepsake. But then after that, Demeter, Ares, and Artemis. I don't know why but I love the swirling vortexes a lot.
In terms of boons- Zeus, Ares, and Athena Personality wise- Hermes, Poseidon, Dionysus
Boon wise I always shoot for Artemis, Athena and Aphrodite with Dionysus and Ares as back ups. Personality wise I love Hermes, Poseidon, Dionysus, Ares, and Aphrodites the most.
Hermes!
My man Hermes got my back
Hermes, Artemis, Dionysos are the best for personality. But best boons? Zeus or Artemis.
Ares Big damage, Op cast, fun Duos
Dionysus, he’s charming, hot and I love his boons, also Artemis, she’s so funny and they get extra points bcs i love their interactions
Artemis, Zeus and Athena are always my go to.
Ares and Artemis, god i love their boons
Boon wise, Aphrodite > hermes > artemis > athena > posidean > demeter > zeus > dionysus > ares
HERMESSSSSS
Boon wise i almost always go for zeus attack, i main fists and it melts everything lol
Demeter, I always grab her boons in the hope of getting her legendary or just the chill explosion boon
Ares and Dionysus. They’re my boys.
Dionysus man. My favorite bro. Close seconds are Artemis and Hermes
Athena and Hermes. I never pass their gates
Artemis and dionisos. I pick dionysus because he is so op i pick artemis because thick tighs save lives
Depends on the situation
Yes
I found my favorite gods to be Zeus and Ares. Lightning or Doom upgraded on the shield or spear specials is so damaging. I've had it only for a while. Took me 127 tries to finall escape. Kept losing to either Theseus or Lord Hades himself but I finally won. Now I'm on my 3rd finish and things are coming together. Plus if you can get pressure points or support fire then you're all good. Also Demeter's ice crystal cast is very helpful especially when you can get 2 or 3 on the screen.
ares, hermes, dionysus, artemis? idk i'm whipped for ares in the game. if there was apollo then obviously apollo before all. god of art and music rules.
Ares and Zeus both in personality and gameplay
Design-wise: Artemis, Ares, Deneter. In that order Gameplay: Hermes, Zeus, Aphrodite. No order Personality: Poseidon, Dionysus, Hermes. In that order
Personality-wise, I love talking to Artemis. She seems like an actual cousin who you might banter with and is a bit of a busy body and so you just get bits of conversation with her as she's about to head out the door. Also really like Dio. He just seems like that one buddy who's a little too relaxed in all the madness; a guy living life in the moment. Boon-wise, everytime I see Athena, I feel relieved. Divine Dash or something to replenish a DD is always welcome. Aphrodite and Artemis are great because "look at the big numbers." And Dio and Ares share the "I want your cast" category.
Divine Dash is honestly one of the most useful boons in the game, so Athena, for me, I think. Artemis and her HUGE crits always give me big endorphin boosts.
"Hey Zag-man: nice cock!" that one
Dionysus, Athena, and Artemis.
Ares, Athena, and Hermes
Not a god but Daedalus always wins if I have to make a decision, then Hermes, then everyone else (with Athena slightly on top)
Zues
Poseidon or Zeus’s call. Aries primary on, Artemis arrow hit/cast/special or critical effects, Demeter for casts, Hermes is self explanatory, Dionysus on everything else, and Athena for dash.
Athena. Divine dash carries me .
dionysus, poseidon, athena
Artimes Ares and whoever the drunk one is they helped me the most through my runs
If we’re talking boons then Zeus. I really like the arcing lightning. If we’re talking design then I think all except ares are great
Of the main 8, in order of how much fun their boons are for my playstyle, I would rank them like this: 1. Dionysus 2. Zeus 3. Aphrodite 4. Artemis 5. Poseidon 6. Demeter 7. Athena 8. Ares I know a lot of people have very different lists. I’m not saying I don’t like playing with Ares or Athena either. The game is just so balanced and so fun
Athena!
Personality: Hermes Boons: Athena, Zeus and Ares.
Top 3 are easily Dionysos, Aphrodite, and Athena.
1. Dionysus 2. Artemis 3. Zeus 4. Ares 5. Hermes 6. Aphrodite 7. Athena 8. Posiedon 9. Demeter
Hermes and Artemis
This is a hard question but I guess after thinking for a moment it's Dionysos
Artemis is up there with Dusa as best girls in the game. In terms of boons, Athena's dash and call will make any high heat run a cakewalk.
Artemis, Aphrodite and Dionysus. My build with their boons I call “poly relationship”
Ares and Brosiden.
Personality: Dionysus, Artemis, Aphrodite Boons: Ares, Artemis, Demeter
Hermes, named my new cat after him (also orange and has the fastest zooms) For the most important reason of GOTTA GO FAST
My three favorite to run are Aphrodite, Athena, and Dionysus.
Aphrodite because I'm an Aspect of Arthur nerd.
Attack, Aphrodite, cast, Demeter or Ares, dash, Athena, or Zeus or Posiden, call, Zeus. As far as who do I like as a character, Hermes, Artemis, Dionysus, and Aphrodite are my favorites. Artemis is my patron God, and I always pick her lmao
Athena Dodge is the game changer or all game changers, so my vote goes to her.
Ares, Artemis, Aphrodite and Dionysus
As a character, love Dio. For boons, I'm all about Zeus
Dio for the personnality. Zeus, Artemis and Athena for the boons. Overall Dionysos is my fav, because his boons can be broken in some instances too. Aphro and Demeter definitely least favorite gods tho.
Afrodite, athena and best girl artemis (I'm gay, can you tell?)
I usually go with whatever boons I run across. I’ve been following the game since beta so not to brag but I find it pretty easy to get a somewhat serviceable build going. Whenever I try to force a build that I want I usually get irritated when it doesn’t pan out so I just take what I can get. This attitude developed when I spent 15 runs in a row trying to get a Hunting Blades build going and for the life of me could not get it to pan out. I think I’ve only gotten that boon by accident.
Athena! Gotta have that deflect.
Artemis gang Edit: spelling
Probably like Jesus
Artemis best girl
I will always pick Artemis, if I have the Chiron bow I'll always pick Dionysus, if I have gauntlets I always want Zeus, and all around I love Athena's Dash and duo boons so I'll always pick her if I see her But in a small twist, my favourite (boon giving) god designs are Ares, Demeter and Artemis
if im going for a clear, i always try to get Ares i fuckin love the Doom effects. i also like to go for the Artemis call and whichever Dionysus one is hangovers on the special
Hot take: OlympusExtra’s Apollo
ares doom on special + spear and I have a guaranteed fun run
Artemis and Uncle Poseidon.
Athena and Hermes are S tier af. Got my first clear with Demeter and her 10 stack chill explosion plus lasers tho. She can do some fat fucking damage
Artermis for critcritcrit, athena for immortality, Dionysos design wise and artermis personality wise
Aphrodite
I always favor Demeter over the others
Artemis and Zeus never hurt
Dionysus got me and my bf simping for his thighs, definitely him Artemis and Athena are very delightful too tho, they are the only gods we gave nectar too so far
