The Lim and Oros Sister Blades are among the most versatile two-handed sets of weapons in your inventory, with several tactical styles to use based on your playstyle in Hades II.

Aspect of Melinoë

When using the Aspect of Melinoë, your primary strategy is to place yourself in the location where you will receive the most significant benefit from your Omega Special.

You will want to place yourself behind your enemies' backs in order for all of your daggers to land. This is necessary to trigger the Aphrodite boon effects that form the core of this build. To become as effective as possible, incorporate Demeter's casting skills into your rotation.

The freeze effect on a cast will immobilize enemies, making it much simpler to position yourself for those critical backstabs and special attacks. This crowd control aspect allows for both defense and accuracy in your fighting style in Hades II.

Your boon priorities should center around Flutter Flourish from Aphrodite, which amplifies the damage your specials deal to nearby enemies. Complement this with Heart Breaker, also from Aphrodite, which creates a Heartthrob whenever you spend 40 Magick in Hades II.

Don't overlook the importance of any Magick regeneration boons, as they'll ensure you can maintain your special attack frequency throughout extended encounters.

For hammer upgrades, you have several excellent options to consider. Sudden Flurry reduces your Omega Special channeling time by 40% in Hades II.

Reaper Knives provides both increased power and broader area coverage. Dancing Knives offers damage amplification with the added benefit of bouncing hits toward additional foes.

Finally, Hidden Knives combines damage increases with extra projectiles, making your Omega Special even more devastating in Hades II.

Aspect of Artemis

The Artemis Aspect changes your mental process away from specials and towards attacks, but with a different strategic thinking, yet the same root principles.

Your position remains crucial, but now you'll be looking at attack rhythms instead of special ability timing in Hades II.

Artemis's boons naturally support this playstyle by combining your critical hit and dodge boons, which add survivability for marathon melee combat.

Your boon selection should be Flutter Strike by Aphrodite, which is a special-focused boon but used on your basic attacks.

Your other Aphrodite boon, Secret Crush, boosts your attack damage and fills 20 Magick into each attack in Hades II.

Keep Heart Breaker to have still your Magick use build Heartthrobs. The Sunny Disposition two-character Aphrodite and Apollo boon doubles your generation of Heartthrobs, which is a good synergy loop in Hades II.

Focus on Magick regeneration to keep your boosted abilities going.

Your choices for upgrading your hammer will depend on attack-focused play. Sweeping Ambush turns your Omega Attack into a ruthless area-of-effect, 400% dealing ability, but with increased range and Magick investment in Hades II.

Skulking Onslaught benefits from staying behind the target at 150% damage. Wicked Onslaught boosts your attack speed by 35%, while Rapid Onslaught gives a simple power boost of 20.

Aspect of Pan

Pan Aspect brings a new playstyle in terms of putting your Omega Special usage on your cast attacks instead of usage during direct combat.

Though Hestia's boons are not required for this build, they work well with Poseidon's, establishing a good elemental set that can manipulate the battlefield in Hades II.

Your boon priority should be Wave Flourish from Poseidon, providing knockback splashes on your specials.

Flood Gain is a magickal regain after using Omega moves with an 8-second cooldown as a reward for playing aggressively.

Slippery Slope increases your splash damage by applying status, which causes continuous damage. King Tide increases your splash damage and gives you extra damage against Guardians.

When incorporating Hestia's boons, Smolder Ring causes your casts to inflict Scorch on enemies repeatedly. Glowing Coal allows you to hold your cast button to aim a fiery projectile that explodes on impact, with the binding circle forming at the explosion site in Hades II.

The duo Boon Scalding Vapor from Poseidon and Hestia creates Steam when your fire effects strike foes affected by Froth.

Your hammer upgrades mirror some options from the Melinoë build, but serve different purposes in this context in Hades II.

Sudden Flurry remains valuable for faster channeling, while Hidden Knives, Reaper Knives, and Dancing Knives all enhance your special attacks in ways that complement your cast-focused strategy.

Aspect of Morrigan

The Morrigan Aspect is the most crucial one to master because you need to master a whole combo string involving attacks, specials, and Omega attacks.

Your primary combo is to string Dash, Special, Attack, and Omega Attack in sequence to activate the strong Blood Triad effect. This build is better adapted for accurate timing and using combos with high damage output in Hades II.

Your boon order should have Ares' Vicious Strike, which boosts your attack with Wounds to enemies. Volcanic Flourish from Hephaestus makes your specials give 400-damage area-of-effect bursts.

Cut Above from Ares adds falling blade effects to your Omega oves at the cost of additional Magick. Furnace Blast from Hephaestus ensures your blast effects also inflict Glow on targets.

Before pursuing advanced boons, ensure you have the prerequisites: Trusty Shield, Security System, or Heavy Metal. Once secured, Premium Service from Hephaestus strengthens your

Aspect of the Nocturnal Arms

The duo of Coffin Nail from Ares and Hephaestus makes your falling blades strike immediately with increased damage. Don't forget Magick regeneration to support your combo-heavy playstyle in Hades II.

Your hammer upgrades should enhance your Blood Triad effectiveness. Phantom Etchings adds 222 damage to your Blood Triad, while Banshee Brand provides a 33% chance for an additional strike.

Sweeping Ambush transforms your Omega Attack into a devastating area ability with 400% damage, but requires 20 additional Magick. Final Slice makes your final attack sequence strike deal 300% damage across a larger area, providing an excellent finisher to your combos in Hades II.
