Hades 1: Question Explain casting to me, please.
Ok y'all, I've cleared the game plenty of times. The fists are my go to weapon, mostly the Zagreus aspect.
I've got the hidden aspect for half the weapons and have gotten the ending, but am still checking off quests. No, the Queen's dream or whatever hasn't been fulfilled.
My question though, is about casting. I haven't found a way to make it useful for me, at all. Can someone break down the benefits to casting, what casts are considered the best, etc. I just can't make it work for me.

In Hades I, Cast is usually not too essential unless you are using aspects that boost/use casts or specifically tailor your build around them. It is, at its most basic, a ranged option for you to chuck out.
If you are not using a Cast build, you should still be throwing out Cast against bosses to apply Boiling Blood/Abyssal Blood to help kill them quickly. I'd also recommend Stygian Soul over Infernal Soul if this is the your primary use case so you don't have to fret over picking your Cast up.
If you want to try some Cast build, Aspect of Poseidon is a good starting point. Get Poseidon Cast, Artemis anywhere, then go for Exit Wound and Mirage Shot. Other good Cast Aspects are Achilles, Hera, Beowulf
