![]() ![]() Dionysus - Strong Drink & After Partyĭionysus's health-oriented Boons are really quite excellent. The same goes for Frost Flourish, which is better for weapons and builds where you're using your Special a lot - like Varatha or Stygius. Not only does it add a chunk of damage to your main attack, but it inflicts Chill, slowing down any enemy you hit. Demeter - Frost Strike & Frost Flourishĭemeter's Frost Strike is enormously powerful. Divine Strike gives the ability to deflect on each attack, and - even better - Divine Dash deflects in all directions each time you dash. ![]() Athena - Divine Strike & Divine DashĪthena has possibly the strongest Boons of all, because they allow you to deflect attacks, negating all damage from the attack and returning it to its sender. That adds up to a lot of extra damage, especially with a fast-firing weapon. But one Boon I can definitely get on board with is Support Fire, which fires a 10-16 damage arrow at a nearby enemy every time you attack or use your Cast or Special. I tend to steer clear from Artemis, because her Boons rely far too heavily on the RNG of critical hits. Often this leads to powerful builds which allow you to one-shot-kill most enemies. All you need to do is kill one foe in the room, and you'll gain a huge damage bonus for your next attack or Special. Ares - Battle RageĪres's Battle Rage Boon is an extremely strong damage bonus for all future encounters. Plus the damage boost is as strong as any other God's "strike" Boon. This gives you great control during fights where it's almost impossible to avoid being hit (for instance, in Elysium or Styx). And thus: here are the very best Boons in Hades: Aphrodite - Heartbreak StrikeĪphrodite doesn't offer the best Boons on the whole, but Heartbreak Strike still holds a place in my heart for its application of Weakness with each hit. Overall though, there are certain Gods and Boons which I always gravitate towards when given the option. So, what are the most powerful Boons in Hades? The answer is complex, because not only are there an awful lot of Boons in the game, but each one can be offered at various strengths, making their benefits variable. And aside from Poms, you can also upgrade existing Boons by speaking with Euridyce in Asphodel. Once you get to the shop in the Styx (the fourth realm of the Underworld), you'll find special Poms of Power which upgrade a Boon by two levels instead of just one. Like Boons themselves, picking up a Pom of Power will offer you a choice of up to three Boons to level up, and you must select which one you want to upgrade. Regardless of their rarity, each regular Boon can be upgraded to the next level using a Pom of Power. You must converse with Sisyphus throughout various different runs before the ability to "speak" with Bouldy and offer it Nectar is unlocked. Bouldy Boons - offered by Bouldy, Sisyphus's Boulder.Chaos Boons - Boons offered by Chaos, which require you to overcome a curse for a certain number of rooms before the effect activates.Each God has one Legendary Boon to offer. Legendary Boons - powerful Boons which require you to have favoured a certain God during a run.Duo Boons - require you to have already taken certain Boons from two different Gods, and combine the powers and styles of both Gods into a single Boon.There are also special Boons which only appear under very specific circumstances: The higher the rarity, the stronger the effect: Each God has a multitude of Boons which they can offer you, and each Boon can be one of four different rarities. After conversing with a God, you will be offered a choice of three Boons, and must accept just one. Throughout a Hades run, you will be offered various Boons from the Olympians - Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Aphrodite, and so on. Watch on YouTube Hades Boons overview - how do they work? ![]()
