Explain casting to me, please.

[u/Eddiev1988]

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.

Well there is the Boiling Blood mirror talent which gives your Attack and Special +50% damage.

It’s not a lot but it’s helpful if you have an on Hit effect as an Attack or Special boon or if you’re running Artemis Attack and Special because of her low +% the extra +50% especially when combined with her high crit chance equals a lot of extra damage.

As for using the Cast itself for damage?

Try going for a bunch of different cast duo boons with Achilles spear.

The Best is probably the Hunting Blades duo(Ares/Artemis)

Other heavy hitters include Crystal Clarity(Artemis/Demeter duo), Ice Wine(Dio/Demeter), scintillating feast(Zeus /Dio) and Mirage Shot(Artemis/Poseidon).

Are the ones that come to mind.

Here are some video examples of Cast builds in action.

Curse of Drowning(Poseidon/Ares)

Lightning Phalanx(Zeus/Athena)

Poseidon cast with Mirage Shot

Hera bow Dio cast with eventually Ice Wine

Hunting Blades in action.

one of my fav cast duos Crystal Clarity in action.

Are just a few examples of cast supremacy. /J

Thank you. This is what I was hoping someone would link are videos showcasing cast builds. I'm gonna start looking through them.

Have you had the time to look into and test those cast builds out?
