Build Details
Notes
Fear ceiling: 62 Fear (HookieDookie-verified at mobalytics.gg/hades-2/builds/62-fear-medea-skull); the 67 Fear unseeded community record is reported but not directly observed in this verification pass. The 90% bonus to attack and special damage is baked into the aspect's base passive, so any boon set scales on top of it. The Special doubles as evasion: barely graze targets to deal damage while avoiding their hitboxes. Keepsake rotation: Cloud Bangle (start, biome 1 utility) -> Engraved Pin (twice) -> Gorgon Amulet for late biomes. Boon priority: Hera Attack first, then Zeus Special with Heaven Flourish or Blitz, Static Shock for armor breaking, Snow Queen, Double Strike, Arctic Ring, Grisly Gain. Hammers: Volatile Array, Colossus Driver. Two curses to activate Origination's Punished band early; time Messenger invuln when the character flashes red post-cast.
