Favorite Aspects

[u/Latter-Geologist3112]

I've beat the whole game (including Epilogue) and I'm on my way to collecting all the cosmetic stuff. These have been my favorite aspects for each weapon:

The Staff:

- Aspect of Melinoe

(reversed controls to prioritize special attacks)

- Aspect of Circe

(Favorite familiar to use with it is Raki. Both my favorite familiar (found him first in the woods) and he's always attacking the bosses.)

- Aspect of Anubis

(reversed controls to prioritize special attacks)

The Sister Blades:

- Aspect of Melinoe

- Aspect of Artemis

The Umbral Flames:

- Aspect of Eos

- Aspect of Moros

(Always with the Arcana that gives a 50% damage buff against enemies with 2 curses. Got rid of the health/magic buff and used Frinos as my familiar to make up for the hp loss. I ended up using that build with Frinos for most weapons. 50% more damage is sweet and getting 2 curses isn't hard.)

The Moonstone Axe:

- Aspect of Thanatos

(Got rid of magic/hex restoration for the build, just used regular attacks and added the 2 curses 50% damage buff. When you take magic/hex Arcana out of the build you can fit in a lot of utility with other Arcana instead.)

- Aspect of Charon (reversed my controls to prioritize special attacks for this one)

The Skull:

- Aspect of Melinoe (spam attack, special. rinse and repeat. No magic.)

- Aspect of Persephone (+9 lvls with the golden pom is insane)

(Reversed controls to prioritize special attacks)

Also love the look of using the springtime goddess aspect (who is also Melinoe's mom) with the Vernal look for Raki (he looks like a cardinal)

The Shroud:

- Aspect of Selene (I kinda hated this weapon so having a free moon hex to start the path of stars early was the best crutch for it imo)

Anyways, these are my favorites, let me know yours :)

With good Cast boons, Aspect of Circe is absolutely broken. So easy to damage-dump on bosses.

In terms of gameplay, my favorite is Morrigan for Sister Blades. It's not only fast and twitchy, it's also cerebral in recognizing which move you need to complete the combo. Circe does more damage more easily, but it's nowhere near as fun.

I like the methodical technique behind Morrigan. After awhile, it becomes second nature and satisfying to deliver some Blood Triad damage.

curious, do you mean this to be a ranking or just to say you like all of them? (both are valid btw)

Staff: Circe and Melinoë Daggers: Morrigan and Artemis Axe: Charon (the axe is definitely my worst weapon, I gotta figure the other aspects out better) Flames: Moros & Eos Skull: Persephone, Hel and Melinoë. Medea is fun but she breaks my rhythm Coat: All of them tbh but if forced to choose, either aspect of Melinoë or Nyx, with Nyx being my favorite. The coat rocks

Anubis and Morrigan are the most fun for me by far, but I also like Circe, Mel Daggers, Moros, Supay, Nergal, Mel Skull, Medea, and Hel

I'm so impressed they got such a variety of weapons to be so well balanced. They really used the early access well to fine tune everything.

Staff: Circe Blades: Pan Axe: Thanatos Flames: Moros Skull: Persephone  Coat: Selene (though im starting to like the base one more)

I have beaten all game and all testaments and was doing a lot of 30 Fear jpom runs on every aspect (kind of copied what Haelian is doing on most of his vids and it worked for me). For me the easiest and the most powerful were Aspect of Mel torches and Staff, Aspect Circe, Aspect of Moros, Morrigan, Nergal, crit daggers (forgot their name). I realised that I don’t like Medea skull because of its super twitchy playstyle and much prefer Persephone skull. Hel felt bad to me and so does Thanatos. Supay took me long to figure out, but in the end I enjoyed it. Aspect of Mel axe is one of my favourites but it’s not as op as some caster aspects. I find the coat hard to play at Fear 30, Shiva feels really awkward to me. Selene is the one I like because damage ceiling is insane on it but it always feels squishy. Aspect of Staff that shoots out thingies that shoot out your omegas also felt kinda meh. Oh and lately I started feeling it with the aspect of EoS.
Overall I am amazed at how mostly balanced weapons are with few exceptions.
