The Aegis + Ares' Doom = Easy Mode

Putting doom on the Aegis' special combined with the hammer's perk that hits 8 opponents each throw means throwing it, dashing away and watching everything disappear. It took my game from being lucky when defeating the last boss to easily counting on it.

I wish this sub was more active and hope combos like this are shared more! I've been playing since the EA release and honestly am only just becoming familiar enough with the boons. I'm finally experimenting with different combos instead of blindly taking what's available.

Edit: This combo is especially effective when applying Poseidon's Tempest Strike on your attack. That plus Athena's Divine Dash makes you near untouchable.

I love doom on those sorts of moves. One of my other favorite combos is getting Poison on Attack from Dionysus for the Adamant Rail.

I did a doom + eternal spear special run last night. Totally bonkers, especially when I got the hammer upgrade to bounce to multiple enemies. Cleared rooms insanely fast.

The spear was my go to weapon early on! I relied a bunch on the backstab to knock enemies out. I've been trying to branch out recently and have really taken to the Aegis.

The sword is a bit tough since you essentially have to play a tank and get up close to melee. Not great for the last boss.

The Adamant Rail has always eluded me and I bail after a couple runs with it.

The rail is one of my favorites, but wasn't at first. Once I started treating the machine gun as a delivery method for boons and discovered the 3-grenade hammer upgrade, life became good.

Aegis + Doom is my favorite combo, followed closely by Aegis and Zeus's boon on the Special with the Hermes speed upgrade. Add in the Hammer upgrade for hitting 8 enemies and it's hard to lose. I've been experimenting with the rail a lot lately, and with the right boons, it's insanely powerful, too.

Nothing like exploding spear and artemis special. Everyone's marked all the time for 600+ crits which you can deliver from a safe distance
