Hades Guide Long reach, safe pokes, spin attacks, and recall tricks.
Improves Special damage, range, and speed.
Lv. 1-5: Special damage, range & speed +10% / +14% / +18% / +22% / +25%
The basic spear form keeps the long poke and throw-recall pattern intact. Its upgrade makes the Special more reliable as a ranged finisher.
Use it when you want a simple, safe spear run; Hammer upgrades decide most of the damage plan.
After Special, rush to the spear and empower the next attacks or casts.
Lv. 1-5: Post-rush damage +50% / +75% / +100% / +125% / +150% for the next 4 attacks or casts
Achilles changes the Special into a mobility and burst tool. Throw the spear, rush to it, then spend the empowered hits on casts or heavy attacks.
Excellent for cast builds, especially when you can repeatedly reload and fire Bloodstones.
Spin Attack becomes Punishing Sweep, marking foes to take more damage.
Lv. 1-5: Punishing Sweep makes attack and special damage +30% / +60% / +90% / +120% / +150% for 10 sec
This form rewards deliberate spin openings. Tag enemies with Punishing Sweep, then convert the damage bonus through attacks or Special throws.
Quick Spin and Massive Spin make the plan much easier to execute.
New move set with lifesteal spin, but reduced health and healing.
Lv. 1-5: Life total and healing -70% / -65% / -60% / -55% / -50%
Guan Yu is powerful but punishing. Its spinning blade can heal through hits, while the reduced life pool makes mistakes much more costly.
Prioritize safety, health, and long-range play; do not facetank just because the spin heals.
Keep distance and convert special or cast bonuses into burst windows.
Daedalus Hammer upgrades are weapon-specific. Some are blocked by hidden aspects or by other Hammer choices.
