Summary

• Hades 2 introduces a variety of new gods with unique Boon abilities for players to explore and experiment with during gameplay.
• Some gods offer more balanced and useful Boons, while others may have less compelling offerings.
• As the game is still in Early Access, players can expect changes and updates to the gods' abilities and strengths as development progresses.

What makes Hades so special is its unique artistic vision for all the Greek gods of the pantheon and the Boon abilities they have in store, which is even more masterfully crafted in the sequel, Hades 2. Some familiar favorites from the🥃 first game are now joined by an all-new set of gods, and they each come with pros and cons to their characters.

Some gods won't feel as satisfying in their offerings to Milenoe and have some Boons you'd want to avoid, while others may prove more desirable, and you'll want to see more of them. Here is the full roster of the gods and goddesses you'll meet in Hades 2, ranked.

Hades 2 is in Early Access, so 🧔any information is subject to change as its development progre🃏sses.

11 Selene

Selene is one of the most interesting Boon-giving Gods because her gifts are tied to the Hex system. Pretty much any of the choices you see from this radiant celestial goddess of the moon will be tied to how much magick you use throughout your run. Soꦆme Boons become available after 120🐼 magick, while others, like Total Eclipse, are ready after 200.

The best one is probably Moon Water, which thankfully comes at the lowest amount of magick needed to be used. Still, the rest aren't awfully exciting and can be quickly overshadowed by other deities' Boons that can be used on the fly during battle without the longer wait (though this doe⛎s become 🅠better the higher your magick meter gets upgraded).

10 Poseidon

Poseidon is another mixed bag of a God in Hades 2. He's got some great Boons and some that are more questionable and a little too overpowered and silly which can hurt some of the experience. Fluid Gain is nice because it creates bubbles that give you back some of your magick, but then you have something like Breaker Sprint which will deplete your magick fast, as it's tied to your sprint.

Some of Poseidon's Boons are also tied to 'Sunken Treasure' and resource-scavenging, which makes sense given he's the god of the ocean, but they're not the most vital to Melinoe's success in facing off incredibly tough challenges in the arena. The knockback effect from the splash and the damage it deals for attacks is, however, the best part of Poseidon.

9 Zeus

While he might be King of the Olympians, Zeus still doesn't represent the best of the best Gods to be solely relying on his Boons for the majority of your run. As you might expect, his Boons are all mostly about lightning damage, with his Curse being Blitz, but it's not all that compelling.

The Blitz and chain lightning effects can feel a little less powerful in comparison to some of the other Boon effects from other Gods in the game. Ionic Gain is Zeus' magick restoration Boon, and it comes with the huge negative of having to reduce your total storage of magick by 70 percent, which is counterintuitive.

8 Hestia

Hestia makes her debut as a new goddess in Hades 2, and she's one cool gal, even though 1🌟68澳洲幸运5开奖网:her smoldering coal hat says otherwise. Her main affliction to enemies is Scorch and her Boons are overall more reasonable with their constraints, particularly the magick restoration one Hearth Gain, which only puts your🐲 health 20 percent lo🍒wer.

She also has Burnt Offering, which will restore you to full health and full magick, though you'll lose a Boon in the process because a sacrifice must always be made. Soot Sprint, Smolder Ring, and Glowing Coal are other excellent Boons when considering abilities for casting and sprinting, the moves you'll constantly be utilizing when clearing enemy waves.

7 Apollo

Apollo is another new face there to grace the ensemble of Greek gods and goddesses in Hades 2. The God of Light comes with the ability to put your foes into a Daze by having them be blinded and stunned from attacking, a pretty neat maneuver. It's a solid reprieve from the hecticness of battle and is even tied to Backstab damage

.

Blinding Sprint sees your sprints immobilize enemies at no cost to your magick, and there's even a Boon called Light Smite, which returns the favor of any damage you just took from an enemy onto them and places all other enemies in a Daze. It's probably the most useful affliction next to Demeter's Freeze.

6 Hera

In Hades 2, Zeus is joined by his wife Hera, Queen of Olympus. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Since she's the goddess of marriage, her special ability is Hitch, where the damage done to enemies is all about togetherness. What Hitch does is make all enemies who are afflicted with it share 30 percent of the damage currently being done to the enemy you're fighting.

The attack Boons have ample damage and are automatically tied to the Hitch curse, with the Hereditary Bane Boon making it last longer and increasing its damage. Hera also offers Engagement Ring, which increases the duration of your Omega cast by 200 percent and makes it deal damage "to every foe that joins the Encounter," which is qui🐲te a remarkable boost.

5 ꦯ Hephaestus ꦕ

The Olympian god of the forge, Hephaestus comes off similar to Thor's design from God of War Ragnarok with his beard, exposed stomach, and hammer. Another interesting detail to note is his character being portrayed as an amputee who requires a wheelchair, which is accurate to his mythology, as he's sometimes depicted as "the lame one."

All that aside, his Boons appear fresh from his smithy and have some clear standouts. Fixed Gain lowers the amount of damage you take while letting your magick replenish when you take damage. He also starts you with 50 armor and his Volcanic Strike and Flourish attacks for weapons create bursts of damage during combat up to 200 and 400, depending on whether it's a Special or just a regular Attack.

4 Artemis

Artemis is given a much greater role in the sequel. Instead of just being there as a message like her Olympian peers, she will randomly join you and help out in one of the rooms during your run. You'll see her arrows inflict some powerful damage on enemies, and you two together will sweep the room in no time.

After the battle ends, she'll appear in person and offer you some Boons, most of which are focused on casting and firing arrows at enemies. Easy Shot will do essentially what Artemis herself did in battle to enemies trapped in the circle from your Omega cast, and Death Warrant and Pressure Points are other awesome examples of her abilities.

3 Aphrodite

Across the board, Aphrodite is one of the best goddesses to aim for when wanting a good build of offensive and defensive Boons. As per her beauty and elegant grace, some of Aphrodite's Boons will turn enemies Weak, which means the amount of damage they can do to you is decreased by ten percent.

That's always welcome, especially when being near Weak-affected enemies also gives you some of your magick back. Flutter Strike and Flutter Flourish are stellar choices for offensive attacks that can get the job done, starting with 80 percent damage. You also have Healthy Rebound with Aphrodite, where you can potentially recover full health if you're within a certain threshold.

2 Demeter

Demeter is definitely another goddess that should be on your radar in Hades 2. Being a goddess of the seasons, she's bringing cyclone season and winter into the game with her Boons. Freeze and Cyclone are both pretty powerful and epic to use against enemies, slowing them down significantly, 𒅌which is alway💃s nice for the fast-paced hordes you face.

Ice Strike or Ice Flourish coupled with Cold Storage and Frigid Sprint is a recipe for success. And since she's also the goddess of the harvest and agriculture, she also has a very generous Plentiful Forage Boon, which puts you at max health whenever y🙈ou gather plants, seeds, or mushrooms, as well as giving you a Mystery Seed to plant at the Cr🍨ossroads.
