Hoarding Slash is a powerhouse to make money with

The great dungeon crawler of 2020 Hades gives the son of the eponymous Greek god a lot of “arms of hell”, which he wields in the underworld when he tries to escape. One of the absolute best weapons he can use in combat is Holy Excalibur, the legendary sword that will one day be worn by King Arthur. (That’s kind of old Greece!)

The key to success in this roguelike dungeon crawler on every run, whatever the weapon, is to strike a delicate balance between the innate abilities of your infernal arm and the many boons granted to the hero Zagreus by various members of the Greek pantheon . And there is actually a way to turn the Arthurian Legend Blade into an all-powerful money-making powerhouse.

Here’s a look at one of the best build possible Hades.

The Aspect of Arthur is essentially the Stygian Blade’s ultimate weapon, and unlike its other forms, this is more of a claymore than a long sword. That said, it’s a heavy weapon with slower swings that does a lot more damage. Even the attack pattern is different, with an initial thrust followed by wider slashes while the other forms end with a thrust stitch.

With Holy Excalibur, the Dash-Strike is also a thrust maneuver. Like many of the game’s best builds, this one is based on a Daedalus Hammer upgrade called Hort slash.

Hort slash

• Your attack deals bonus damage equal to 5 percent of your current coin

Especially if you bought early, you can hoard all of your money and see the gains little by little – especially when damage piles up with more traditional attack boons.

You should focus heavily on Chaos Gates as well as the doors of Hermes and Poseidon – and Coin, of course – throughout your run. You can also ignore Charon’s shop for the most part as you will want to keep this coin until the end.

You will search prosperity (Increase on all coins won) from chaos, Side Hustle (earn coin in each chamber) from Hermes and Ocean’s Bounty (Bonus on Gem, Darkness and Coin wins) from Poseidon. The ocean of God Sunken treasure also gives you an assortment of goodies including gold so it’s well worth taking when they’re available.

In general, the strategy is to focus on Coin and Attack, then Special and Dash-Strike. Their occupation should mostly be ignored.

Mirror of the night upgrades

Boiling blood – Plus 50 percent attack and special damage for enemies with cast crystals

Golden Touch – Plus 15 percent total gold every time you clear an underworld region

Dark foresight – Plus 20 percent chance of Gold Laurel rewards (Boons, Hammers, Poms)

Even if there is no boon associated with your cast, increasing attack damage against bosses, especially Hades, is worth it. You can just spam your cast as soon as it becomes available and then take advantage of the boiling blood.

And this build is entirely based on Daedalus Hammers for Hoarding Slash, so Dark Foresight is essential. Golden Touch is better than Deep Pockets here too, as it gives you a percentage rather than the 100 gold flat rate. When you get to the temple, you will achieve far more than that by crossing the line.

souvenir

Chthonic Coin Purse (Hypnos)

Conch shell (Poseidon)

With the wallet you immediately receive a piece of gold. When fully upgraded, it’s 150. So that’s 7.5 additional damage added to each attack. (The default attack combo is 60, 80, and 200 base damage per hit.) It must be used at some point during your run, probably right at the start. Switch to the clamshell later to increase your chances of finding Poseidon boons that can buff your coin treasure.

If you’re lucky enough to get everything you need in the third or fourth region, you can switch to a souvenir from Ares, Demeter, or Artemis.

Gott Boons

The general rule of thumb here is to get the best Attack Boon possible, stack it with more buffs, and then do the same for Special. But you might want to mix that up if you have those Family favorite Equipped ability that deals you an additional 5 percent damage per Olympian. Variety is key, even if you have Privilegierter Status instead.

If you are snapping up a god’s attack modifier, your best bet is to immerse yourself in these effects. Artemis’ Fatal blow Increases attack damage and increases the chance of critical damage Clean Kill (critical effects do more damage) or Pressure points (All damage increased the chance of a critical hit) are also worth pursuing. And when you get Zeus lightning strike, he also has other buffs like Storm lightning that makes it jump more often and Static discharge this adds the jolted status effect.

Here’s a quick rundown of the best boons overall.

Swift Strike (Hermes) – – Your attack is faster

Battle Rage (Ares) – After killing an enemy, your next attack or special does more damage

Urge to kill (Ares) – Your attack and spell do more damage

Support fire (Artemis) – After hitting with an attack, cast, or special, fire a search arrow

Hunter Dash (Artemis) – – Your Dash-Strike does more damage

Cravings (Demeter) – If you don’t have a spell, take 10 percent less damage and do more

The main priority in all of this is definitely to attack, but since Holy Excalibur has a special aura movement that affects a large area, this becomes a secondary target in all respects. All you have to do is watch how the money comes in and how the damage scales astronomically as it goes.
