Learn how to master the Aspect of Eris in Hades! Discover its strengths, complementary upgrades, boons, and effective strategies for both conservative and aggressive playstyles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Aspect of Eris - Overview: Grants a bonus damage buff for 8 seconds after standing within your Special's blast upon impact. At max Aspect level, this bonus is +75% damage.
  2. 2
    Synergistic Upgrades:
    • Recommended: Cluster Bomb (for large blast radius and buffing), Targeting System (slows foes in blast radius), Flurry Fire, Explosive Fire, Piercing Fire, Ricochet Fire, Delta Chamber.
  3. 3
    Avoid: Spread Fire, Hazard Bomb (incompatible with Cluster Bomb), Rocket Bomb (generally considered weak).
  4. 4
    Viable Alternative: Triple Bomb if Cluster Bomb is unavailable, though it covers less area and requires more active firing.
  5. 5
    Complementary Boons:
    • Special Boons: Focus on percentage damage increases and status effects (Demeter, Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena).
  6. 6
    Attack Boons: Useful for inflicting status effects from range to activate Privileged Status. Options include Demeter, Aphrodite, Dionysus (with Numbing Sensation), Zeus (with Static Discharge), Ares.
  7. 7
    Defensive/Status Boons: Low-frequency Specials from Aphrodite, Athena, or Demeter can be useful. Divine Dash is also recommended.
  8. 8
    Specific Synergies: Frost Strike and Drunken Strike (with Numbing Sensation) help slow enemies within the blast radius, working well with Targeting System. Crush Shot (Aphrodite) can provide a short-range blast after absorbing your Special.
  9. 9
    Zeus-Centric Builds: The 75% buff applies to all damage, including Zeus's fixed lightning damage. High-frequency Attacks with boons like Flurry Fire, Seeking Fire, Ricochet Fire, or Delta Chamber can be devastating.
  10. 10
    Duo Boons: Heartbreak Flourish (for Weak/Smoldering Air), True Shot (for Lightning Rod), Tidal Dash (for Sea Storm Duo boon with lightning effect).
  11. 11
    Playstyles:
    • Conservative: Use the Special to blanket areas with damage and self-buff. This allows for less precise attacking and more evasion, especially in boss fights. Your Attack can focus on applying status effects from range.
  12. 12
    Aggressive/Speedrun: Leverage the Aspect of Eris's broad damage buff for extremely destructive runs. Combine with Zeus boons for rapid clearing of encounters. Fire Specials, absorb the blast, then Attack rapidly.
Tips
  • The Aspect of Eris's strength lies in its ability to buff yourself while dealing area-of-effect damage, making positioning crucial.
  • Targeting System can significantly improve your ability to stay within the blast radius for the buff.
  • While Hazard Bomb is incompatible with Cluster Bomb, it's worth noting that Cluster Bomb is generally superior for this Aspect.
  • The Aspect of Eris makes Zeus's fixed damage boons significantly more potent due to the broad damage buff.
