Hades 2)Introducing the strongest 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 Moon Long Axe (Charon's 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!

About the attitude of Charon


Charon's posture isThe duration of the magic circle is increased by 3 seconds, and if an Omega special attack hits the magic circle, it explodes like the Omega magic circle.The magic circle disappears the moment it explodes, so as long as you have the mana, you can activate Omega Magic Circle repeatedly at a high pace.
His main means of attack is to draw a magic circle and instantly activate his Omega special attack, mowing down all enemies, both close and long distance!
List of merits when you actually clear the level (photos)



Important Merit





In this state, if you use the Omega special attack, the magic circle will disappear immediately, so your MP will hardly decrease. Therefore, you can manage with just the Brilliant Light. The ideal projection is to have armor, etc., which will simply increase your firepower, so be sure to take it.
Demeter's magic circle freezes enemies. Hitting a frozen enemy with an Omega special attack is very powerful as it also reduces damage taken.
In this build, you consume mana many times, so it is easy to use Aphrodite's Guilt to get a heartache bullet. Therefore, if you can get the Duo Merit [Yang Energy], you can expect even more firepower.



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 the Hephaestus Merit, the earth attribute merit of [Iron Weight] will naturally increase. This is a merit you should prioritize since it increases the damage you deal.
Build configuration order
Apollo's [Brilliant Light Overflowing] is the only choice. There's no other option. If you get a rare or higher, you're finished.
Since the Omega special attack is the main source of damage, it will be stable if you can get the special slot early. Also, magic circles such as Demeter and Poseidon that keep enemies away or stop their movement are strong.
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!
I don't usually use normal attacks, and you don't have to take them at all! As for dashes, Demeter's Tsujikaze is very strong, so it's great! But you don't have to take them either!
Magic Card

This is the one I was able to clear reliably. I think I used a lot of things to strengthen the magic circle.
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.
It's the exact same combination as the Silver Skull Persephone. After clearing it, I thought that this build enemy can be defeated quickly. Therefore, I thought it might be a good idea to increase the price of gold coins in the shop and reduce the enemy's HP and number of enemies.

Clear in Charon form
Familiar
Honestly, anything is fine. Since this build has enough mana, I think anything other than Hecuba is best.
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 | I don't use it much so I don't need to take it off! ▷Aphrodite |
Special Attacks | As long as it can do damage, it's fine! Honestly, anything is strong! ▷Apollo ▷Demeter ▷Spatula |
Magic Circle | ▷Demeter ▷Apollo ▷Hestia |
dash | You don't have to take it! ▷Demeter ▷Aphrodite ▷Hestia |
Mana Recovery | ▷Apollo |
Moon Fall Technique | ▷Moonlight Water ▷ Changing phases of the moon ▷Curse of the Night ▷Moonlight |
- Normal Attack
-
Since the normal attacks are close-range, it works well with characters like Aphrodite!
- Special Attacks
-
Honestly, anything is fine as long as it can do damage. However,Only Hephaestus has a cooldown, so it's better not to take it too often.Maybe.
- Magic Circle
-
While charging up the Omega special attack, the enemy is slightly vulnerable, so it is a good idea to use Demeter's freeze or other methods to stop them in their tracks.
- dash
-
It's not that important, but Demeter's Tsundere and other spells are pretty strong because they slow down enemy attacks. Whatever.
- Mana Recovery
-
Apollo is the only choice. He will explode the magic circle multiple times, so you will almost never run out of MP.
- Moon Fall Technique
-
StabilityThe things that increase the most are [Moonlight Water] and [Changing Phases of the Moon]!FirepowerIf you were to raise the bar, it would be [Curse of the Night] or [Moonlight]!
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 | ▷The Soul's Progress It uses a lot of mana so it's a good match! ▷Double Strike Thunder If you have Zeus's Magic Circle or [Soul Advancement], you should prioritize this card! Increase your firepower! ▷Wind Fanning Due to the build composition, there are many opportunities to obtain wind attribute merits, so this is an excellent combination! |
Spatula | ▷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. ▷Splash Fountain Uses Omega attacks multiple times, so it's a good match! Increases firepower |
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 gust of wind occurs at the activation point of the magic circle. The enemy's speed is slowed down, so stability is increased. ▷Winter Armor Nullifies damage taken once! Increases stability and is the strongest! ▷Cryogenic storage If you have a merit with a freezing effect, you'll want it. If the enemy is frozen for a long time, you can keep saying "It's my turn!!" |
Apollo | ▷Projection of the Ideal Simple firepower UP! If you have invincibility, you can become unrivaled. |
Aphrodite | ▷Subtle Strategy Since there are many opportunities to obtain wind attribute merits, it is a perfect match. It will evade attacks. ▷Crime Since it uses a lot of mana, you can cover the area around you with heartache bullets. If possible, it's best to have a duo with Apollo [Yang Energy]! Try to see how many heartache bullets you can accumulate. ▷Broken Heart Increased rate of strength decline. ▷Drowning Increased damage to enemies with weakened strength. |
Hephaestus | ▷Iron Disguise 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 | ▷Afterburners They often use Omega special attacks, so it's a good match! ▷Fire Technique If you can inflict carbonization damage multiple times, super strengthen it! |
※Don't take Apollo's [Flare]. It will increase the time it takes for the Omega Circle to disappear by +2 seconds, and you will not be able to recover mana immediately. Your firepower will decrease.
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 (recovery, reduced consumption, maximum amount) |
compromise | ▷ Attribute Increase ▷HP Recovery |
The Merits of Artemis and Hermes
Choose the one that will increase your survivability.
The Merit of Artemis | |
---|---|
priority | ▷Understanding weaknesses Every time damage is dealt, it is occasionally a critical hit. ▷Flash After dashing, Omega damage increases. This is pretty powerful. ▷100% success Shoots a piercing arrow at enemies who have been hit with the Omega Demon Circle. |
compromise | ▷Death Declaration Markings that are prone to critical damage |
The Merit of Hermes | |
---|---|
priority | ▷Evasion Technique Increases evasion rate. Reduces damage taken. ▷Quick Mind Omega moves become faster ▷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 | ▷The Sun Shining in the Darkness If you can use the Moon Falling Technique, your attacks and movement will be faster. ▷Increasing malice Processing speed is faster when there are a lot of enemies |
Hermes's merits are generally excellent! If he appears as a candidate in the next area, go get him!
Recommended Legendary Duos
I'll give you the Legendary Duo.
*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!

To get this
Apollo (normal or special + mana recovery [radiant overflow] + [supernova expansion])
is recommended. Since expansion is just a little stronger than magic, other things are fine too! (Flare is a no-no! →Here's why)

Aphrodite [Sinful] + Apollo [Bright and Shining]
Since you already have the ability to overflow, the condition will be met if you simply take [Sinfulness].

Demeter [Power of the Strong Wind] + Apollo [Overflowing Brilliance]
Demeter's slot could be filled with [Swiftness in the Bitter Cold], but since she uses the Magic Circle more often, I recommend [Strong Wind Force] instead.

Aphrodite (normal or magic circle or dash) + Hephaestus (dash)
I think anything in the Aphrodite slot is strong.
Hephaestus' slot is (normal or special or dash). The normal attacks and special attacks that are often used are stronger than those of Hephaestus (→Click here for the reason), I often choose the dash.
Hammer of Daedalus (weapon upgrade)

Weapon Upgrades | |
---|---|
priority | Special Attack ▷Giga Cutter ▷Melt shredder |
compromise | Special Attack ▷Quick cutter Normal Attack ▷Rapid Axe |
- Giga Cutter
-
Omega special attack will be activated twice. It consumes more mana, but it is stronger than that disadvantage! One for every household. The strongest!
- Melt Shredder
-
Although it is inferior to the Giga Cutter, it does more damage to enemies with armor that are difficult to deal with. It's quite effective.
- Quick Cutter
-
Processing speed will be slightly faster (= you will have a little more time to clear the battle)So I actually recommend it! I sometimes use it when I have a time limit set.
- Rapid Axe
-
A super compromise slot. If nothing comes out that strengthens the special attack, well, oh well.
summary
This time, we introduced the Moon Long Axe (Charon's Form) build, which aims to clear the Fear 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 correct your choices of moves and merits. You'll be able to clear it naturally.
Try out various builds and enjoy the world of Hades 2! I hope this article will be helpful to you.
