"Hades 2 offers a myriad of tools, blessings from Greek gods, and witchcraft-coded spells to overcome its challenges. Yet, the further you plunge into the Underworld and Olympus, the bigger the resistance from enemy forces is. Simply put, the closer you get to the endgame, the harder everything gets. Considering it's necessary for you to not just do runs but also achieve victory in them to actually see the overarching story through, you'll need all the help you can get."
"Hades 2 has countless synergies and permutations with which to experiment. Even the sole choice of your weapon can radically change how you approach a run. At the same time, this is still a roguelite--aside from some specific picks, there's never a guarantee that you'll always be getting what you want during a run. As such, it's worth being open to improvisation on the go."
"Xinth, the Black Coat was my predilect weapon. Specifically, I went with the Aspect of Melinoë version, which, at Rank V, makes it so your attacks, sprint, and move speed are 20 percent faster from the get-go. It's an extremely versatile weapon. The attacks that benefited the most from this build were its Special, which launches a barrage of rockets either freely or by locking onto an enemy if you hold the button, as well as the dash-strike."
Endgame in Hades 2 scales sharply, requiring not just runs but consistent victories to advance. Players should favor adaptable builds that combine weapon choice, boons, Arcana, Keepsakes, and upgrades. Xinth, the Black Coat with the Aspect of Melinoë at Rank V grants 20 percent faster attacks, sprint, and movement, improving both its Special and dash-strike. The Special can fire or lock rockets onto enemies, making it especially effective when paired with complementary boons and witchcraft-coded spells. Because the roguelite nature limits guaranteed picks, flexibility and on-the-fly improvisation remain essential for reaching and clearing the endgame.
