Hades 2)Introducing recommended builds!
*Currently in early access. Specifications may change after official release. We will try to update as much as possible.
This time, I will introduce the build of the Silver Skull (Persephone form). This build is aimed at clearing Fear 32, but I think it will also be useful for those who are trying to clear levels other than Fear 32.
Before you try out different builds, check out these recommended controller settings!

On Persephone's attitude


Persephone's postureWhen you deal up to 1600 damage with the magic circle, your Omega special attack will last 2 seconds longer.It's used when there are a lot of small enemies and it's a pain to deal with them, so you should basically wait until it's more than half full before using it.
The main means of attack are:Deals lightning damage to enemies caught in the magic circle! Hit small enemies with the Omega special attack.image.

Other merits (photos)


Important Merit



- Storm Cloud Ring
- Double Strike Thunder
- Oath Great Move
These are all necessary merits to deal damage, so make sure to collect them all.
You may want to reroll Zeus's magic circle until you get a rare one. [Double Strike Thunder] increases the number of lightning strikes that are triggered by the magic circle, so be sure to get it along the way!
And for special attacks, Hera's Bond is the strongest. Even if you attack in various directions while involving small enemies, the Bond damage will hit, so the processing speed is far superior to other merits.



- Very good condition
- Iron Hideout
- Iron weights
Acquiring these Hephaestus Merits will increase your stability as you progress through the game. It's difficult to get everything, but try to get as many as you can.
[Extremely Beautiful] makes you invincible for about 10 seconds at the start of a battle, during which you can focus on attacking. This is the strongest.
[Iron Cloak] is an essential merit for defeating 32 Fear. There is a debuff called "Increased Damage Taken at the Start of Battle" from the Painful Promise, but this debuff is effectively nullified.
If you have Hephaestus's Merit or Hera's Special Attack, the earth attribute merit of [Iron Weight] will naturally increase. This is a merit you should prioritize since it increases the damage you deal.
Order of Merit Acquisition
First, let's start by securing a damage source. You can reroll the merits you get at the beginning, so try to get as rare ones as possible. We recommend prioritizing securing the magic circle!
Many of the merits of Hephaestus and Aphrodite have the effect of increasing defense power or decreasing enemy attack power, so if they appear as options along the way, make sure you choose them as a priority!
You will be using Omega attacks that use mana to conquer the stage, so make sure you have a way to recover mana by the third stage.
Any normal attack is fine, but having one will increase the enemy's processing speed. You can take it on the second and third stages.
Magic Card

This is the one I was able to clear consistently.Ⅰ Ω injection time stopand,Avoiding VIIIinstead ofIncreased damage dealt when III's mana is below 100%You can also add some. It's up to you which one you like.
Promise
Here are the settings for Kyokyo 32. The difficulty level varies greatly depending on the settings, so feel free to modify it to suit your preferences.

Time limit: 7 minutesI set it to "0" and try not to rush things and process things in a way that doesn't reduce HP too much.
AlsoThe key point is that the prices of items that can be purchased with gold coins have not been increased.So, I try to get as many HP recovery and attack boost items as possible at Charon's shop and fountain.
gift
In general, if you have few remaining Reaper Tricks, choose Gift of Skelemius! If you have some, you can prioritize other items.

Merit options (normal, special, magic circle, dash, mana, moon descending)






Recommended (higher recommendation) | |
---|---|
Normal Attack | It's OK to save it for later! If you're stable on the second and third levels, it might be a good idea! Choose the merits you want to save for the duo. ▷Demeter ▷Hestia |
Special Attacks | Some increase special attack damage and others cause continuous damage! ▷Spatula ▷Aphrodite ▷Hestia |
Magic Circle | ▷Zeus ▷Aphrodite |
dash | You don't have to take it! Prioritize firepower and recovery! ▷Hephaestus If you want damage reduction, ▷Aphrodite ▷Hestia |
Mana Recovery | Choose something that will help you recover quickly! ▷Apollo (▷Chaos) ▷Spatula ▷Zeus |
Moon Fall Technique | ▷Moonlight Water ▷ Changing phases of the moon ▷Curse of the Night ▷Moonlight |
- Normal Attack
-
If you're going to get it, go for Demeter! Stop her movement and use her to hit you with a special attack or magic circle.
- Special Attacks
-
Hera is the strongest. Aphrodite and Hestia can also deal damage, but they are slower at killing small enemies.
The advantage of this form is that as long as you can deal damage with the magic circle, you can hit the Omega special attack multiple times!Don't choose characters like Hephaestus who have a cooldown.Let's do this!
- Magic Circle
-
Characters like Hestia can deal continuous damage, so they can wipe out weak enemies in an instant.But Zeus is the only choice.
*Be careful when choosing Hera or Hestia!Since the damage is determined as bonding or carbonization damage rather than a magic circle, Persephone's effect will not accumulate.
- dash
-
If you want to increase your attack power, choose Hephaestus. If you want to avoid instant death, we recommend Aphrodite or Hestia!
- Mana Recovery
-
I recommend ApolloHowever, it's not guaranteed that it will come out, so choose Hera or Zeus. If you have mana recovery guaranteed by Chaos's Merit, honestly anything is fine.
- Moon Fall Technique
-
The most stable ones are [Moonlight Water] and [Moon Phase Change]! If you want to increase the firepower, try [Curse of the Night] and [Moonlight Shadow]!
Merit (assistance)

Be sure to choose merits that increase your firepower and survivability (increased HP, decreased attack power, etc.)!
Which merits are useful and whether their effects are offset will depend on the situation, so you may want to choose based on your preference. However, I have summarized the merits that I would prioritize.
Olympus God | recommendation |
---|---|
Zeus | ▷Double Strike Thunder Lightning strikes occur more frequently. The magic circle is essentially strengthened! ▷The Soul's Progress If you have 【Double Strike Thunder】, you will be super-powered! You can even take out small enemies with just lightning damage! ▷Static electricity Although not as much as lightning, the damage amount has increased! |
Spatula | ▷ Inheritance of the roots of disaster Increased bond damage + 5 seconds added duration ▷Bride's radiance Randomly changes merit to heroic. It's best if you can get it around 30-40th floor! ▷Extraordinary Elegance Increases damage dealt when there is no common merit |
Poseidon | ▷Surge Hephaestus: If you have the Iron Cloak, you can charge forward while becoming invincible. It's pretty strong because you can defeat all the enemies in the early stages. ▷Flood prevention measures Non-damage reduction. Simple and strong. |
Demeter | ▷Rare Crops If you can get it before level 4, you can make it legendary by Chronos, so the earlier you get it, the stronger it is! ▷Strong wind force A tsundere will appear at the magic circle's activation point. The enemy's speed will be slowed down, so the stability will increase. ▷Winter Armor Nullifies damage taken once! Increases stability and is the strongest! |
Apollo | ▷Supernova expansion Expanded magic circle range. Super powerful! |
Aphrodite | ▷Crime Increase your firepower with Heartache Bullets! If you can improve it with Duo Merit, it will become even stronger! ▷Broken Heart Increased rate of strength decline. ▷Drowning Increased damage to enemies with weakened strength. |
Hephaestus | ▷Iron Disguise Number 1 priority! The stability of the strategy is completely different with or without it. ▷Excellent condition This is also tied for No. 1 priority! Invincibility at the start of battle is truly the strongest. If you can get these two, you can go to Tartarus. ▷Extraordinary courage HP increases according to the maximum mana amount. If you have a lot of mana, it's pretty strong! Consult with mana ▷Iron weight If you choose Hephaestus's Merit, you will naturally have a lot of earth elements. If you have about four earth elements, take them! Your firepower will increase a lot. |
Hestia | ▷Red hot charcoal fire Since the magic circle can be activated from a long distance, accidents are less likely to occur. ▷ Burnt Offerings Offer one merit to increase your mana and HP. Depending on the merit chosen, you may choose! |
The Merit of Chaos
If it's stage 1 or 2, you should go in. You can go in from stage 3 onwards, but it will be more difficult to beat and you will be more likely to die along the way. If you get "Ixion's Flash" at Charon's Spring, try to get it.
The Merit of Chaos | |
---|---|
priority | ▷Special Attack Enhancement ▷Strengthen the magic circle ▷Mana |
compromise | ▷HP series ▷Ω Injection speed up ▷Normal attack strengthening |
The Merits of Artemis and Hermes
Choose items that will increase your survivability and strengthen your magic circles and special attacks.
The Merit of Artemis | |
---|---|
priority | ▷Understanding weaknesses Every time damage is dealt, it is occasionally a critical hit. ▷ Trap of Ruin If you hit an enemy inside the magic circle with a normal attack, your critical rate will increase! |
compromise | ▷Death Declaration Markings that are prone to critical damage |
The Merit of Hermes | |
---|---|
priority | ▷A difficult target Slows down enemy long-range attacks. Increases survivability. ▷Blast Speed Provides a barrier to defend once during a dash. ▷Agility of Limbs Increases the speed of normal, special, and magic circles. |
compromise | ▷Increasing malice Damage dealt increases each time you defeat an enemy! ▷Quick Mind Omega move speed UP! ▷Spiritual power saving Omega magic circle's mana consumption decreased. |
Hard to Aim and Nimble Limbs are merits you definitely want to aim for, but I don't think it's necessary to consume Fated Persuasion to get them.
Recommended Legendary Duos
They're not absolutely necessary, but here are some Legendary Duos you should aim for if you can.
*These are merits that are easy to acquire in terms of build. They can also be acquired with other merits, so please use this as a reference!

The easiest way to build it is
Zeus (Magic Circle + Static Electricity or Soul Advance + Double Strike Thunder)
It has a 20% chance of instantly killing enemies, so you can deal with them much faster!

Hera (Special Attack + [Extraordinary Elegance] + [Inheritance of the Root of Calamity】)
It reduces the amount of damage you take, so it's a good idea to aim for it when the enemy's damage is painful.

Hephaestus (Run + [Iron Cloak] or [Excellent Condition] + [Fingertip of Molten Iron】)
It can be obtained by strengthening the weapon itself, so the overall attack power will increase!

This is a merit you should aim for if you have chosen Hestia for normal attacks.
Hestia normal + Hera special
It also strengthens [Iron Weight], so if you want to increase your survivability, you should take it!

Demeter (normal or dash) + Hera special
If it appears on the third stage, you'll want to get it if you have the Gift of Chaos or Narcissus!
If it appears on the 4th stage, it is a very good merit if you have the gifts of Medea, Hermes, or Skelemius.
Hammer of Daedalus (weapon upgrade)

Weapon Upgrades | |
---|---|
priority | Special Attack ▷Twist Crush ▷Mega Driver |
compromise | Special Attack ▷Colossus Driver ▷Melt Tackle ▷Quick Driver |
Basically it boosts special attacks.Let's choose.
- Twist Crush
-
The wave of the Omega special attack is returned, so it's essentially the same as attacking twice! It's the strongest.
- Mega Driver
-
Although not as strong as Twist Crush, this one is still strong. The damage and special attack length are increased, so use it as if you are going around the magic circle.
- Colossus Driver
-
It's a compromise, but it reduces damage taken during special attacks by 30%, so it's more stable. It's pretty strong!
summary
This time we introduced the Silver Skull (Persephone form) build, which aims to clear Fierce Level 32.
It's not something you can clear right away, so at first, you should aim to raise the rank of your gifts and weapons, and improve your tactics and merit choices. You'll naturally be able to clear it.
Try out various builds and enjoy the world of Hades 2! I hope this article was helpful.
