Introducing recommended builds for HADES II!
*Currently in early access. Please note that specifications may change after official release.
This time, we will introduce the "Critical is power! Attack is the best defense! Moon Long Axe "Thanatos Form" build. 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.
There are many build options, so we have highlighted the ones we particularly recommend in red for easy identification.
How to Fight

Accumulate critical hits with normal attacks! Ω Attack with normal attacks! (Use special attacks occasionally)
About the Thanatos Attitude
The Moon Long Axe (Thanatos Form) increases the critical hit rate by up to 13% when you hit a normal attack. While maintaining the critical hit rate, you can defeat enemies by hitting them with an Omega normal attack. This build will take a lot of damage, so use magic circles and other merits to increase your survivability!
List of merits when you actually clear the level (photos)

Important Merits Required for Build
This build makes heavy use of Omega normal attacks, so you should acquire the normal attack slot first.
On the first stage, choose "Aphrodite" as your gift and take Aphrodite's normal attack. Try to get it at the highest rarity possible!

[Charming Blow] Aphrodite (Normal)
Most of the attacks are close-range, so they work well with Aphrodite's normal attacks. This is pretty much the only option!

[Psychic Tornado] Moon Long Axe Weapon Enhancement
The difficulty of clearing the stage will change greatly depending on whether or not you have this weapon upgrade. This is really powerful because you can attack while performing an Omega normal attack.

[Weed-eliminating curse] Demeter's Merit
Omega: Normal damage will increase significantly. If you don't have enough firepower, take this as a priority!

[Extraordinary Courage] Hephaestus Merit
Simply put, the HP will increase, so it will be more stable. If you can get it, take it.

[Excellent condition] Hephaestus Merit
Since you will be invincible at the start of the battle, you can attack without worrying about defense. If you come out with a pomegranate, make sure to raise it as a priority!

Recommended Legendary Duos
You should basically take whatever you think is most effective, but I'll introduce some of my personal recommendations. I'll prioritize those that are easy to take into account your build.
[Blood Fragrance] Ares Legendary

[Emotionally unstable] Aphroditelenderly

[All Elements] Hera Legendary

[Heart and Blood] Aphrodite + Ares

[Unparalleled Talent] Apollo Legendary

Magic Card

XV [Lover] reduces damage taken when fighting guards to 0, so it's simply strong. Let's put it in!
It also goes well with the "Winter Armor" from the Demeter Merit and the "Extremely Beautiful" from the Hephaestus Merit.
Promise
Settings for Kyokyo 32 are here.


If Pain Pledges are too much for you, increase Resuscitation, War Wounds, and Debt Pledges instead.
Familiar
In this build, you will take a relatively large amount of damage, so Gala is your best choice. Since this build focuses on critical rate, Raki is also a very good option.

1st page | ▷Beautiful hand mirror (Aphrodite) |
2nd page | ▷If you have no way to recover mana (Hera, Zeus, Ares) ▷If available, increase firepower or survivability (Hephaestus, Demeter) →You'll want both the Weed Killer Curse (Demeter) and the Excellent Condition (Hephaestus), so equip the one you don't have! ▷ If they match (Chaos, Dionysus, Athena) |
3rd page | ▷Fig leaf (Dionysus) ▷ Gorgon Talisman (Athena) ▷Prototype hammer (Icarus) (▷ Demeter/Hephaestus) → If you don't have all the items yet |
4th floor | ▷Knucklebone (Odysseus) ▷Black dyed wool (Medea) ▷White antler (Artemis) |
On side 2, it is best to use the missing frame, on side 3, the survival and damage up frame, and on side 4, knuckle bones or black dyed wool. If you have a lot of armor, white antlers are fine, but knuckle bones are more stable and stronger.

Summary of this article
This time, we introduced a critical build that aims to clear the 32 level of horror. This build has high attack power. However, it cannot attack a wide range of enemies, so be careful with how you move around.
It is very difficult to clear the game with your fear level raised, so at first, you should increase the rank of your gifts and weapons, and practice your moves and merit selection. You will be able to clear the game naturally.
Try out various builds and enjoy the world of HADES II! I hope this article was helpful.
