2. ✨ Aspect of Melinoë: Powerful Crit Build & Mana Consumption Strategy
- ✅ The Aspect of Melinoë provides a 10% critical hit chance, which is very powerful.
- ✅ Recommends a build that continuously uses Omega Attacks to consume Mana.
- ✅ Utilize Hraesvelgr's 'Fine Line' Boon and Poseidon's 'Ocean Swell' Boon to increase Mana consumption and amplify damage.
- ✅ Gain Heart Charms for additional damage with each Mana consumption through Aphrodite's 'Heartbreaker' Boon.
- ⚠️ It is best to avoid Boons that excessively consume Mana, such as 'Static Shock'.
| Boon | Effect |

3. 💀 Aspect of Moros: Explosive Attack Build & Hera's Utilization
- ✅ The Aspect of Moros has an effect where attacks remain for 2 seconds and explode when hit by a Special attack.
- ✅ Maximize explosive damage by charging the Omega Special Attack and then pressing the attack button.
- ✅ Use Hera's Keepsake to grant Hitch to attacks or Special attacks and spread it to enemies.
- ✅ It is recommended to choose Boons that increase damage by a high %, such as Aphrodite.

4. ☀️ Aspect of Eos: Utilizing Daybreaker & Zeus Build
- ✅ The Aspect of Eos fires Daybreakers during Omega Attacks, dealing damage to surrounding enemies.
- ✅ Since Daybreakers mimic Special attacks, it is recommended to repeatedly use regular Special attacks.
- ✅ Amplify the damage of Daybreakers by using Zeus' Special attack and utilize Zeus-related Boons such as 'Electric Shock'.
- ⚠️ The 'Hidden Helix' Hammer cannot be used with the Aspect of Eos.

5. 😈 Aspect of Soupie: Dash Build & Analysis of Various Dash Boons
- ✅ The Aspect of Soupie automatically fires attacks and Special attacks, allowing you to focus on dodging and sprinting.
- ✅ Use Zeus' 'Thunder Dash' to deal additional damage and increase the activation frequency through 'Double Strike'.
- ✅ Poseidon's 'Breaker Rush' provides high damage, but requires Sprint recharge.
- ⚠️ Ares' 'Nexus Rush' is not suitable for Soupie due to its long cooldown.
- ✅ It is better to focus on attacks and Special attacks rather than Omega Attacks to activate the 'Origin' effect.
| Dash Boon | Effect | Soupie Suitability |
|---|---|---|
| Thunder Dash (Zeus) | Lightning damage on Dash | Very Good |
| Breaker Rush (Poseidon) | Explosion damage and knockback on Dash | Good |
| Nexus Rush (Ares) | Grants Hitch on Dash | Bad |
| Arctic Rush (Demeter) | Chill damage on Dash | Okay |

6. 🔨 Torch Hammer Analysis: Best Choices and Build Recommendations
- ✅ Hidden Helix: +1 projectile on Special attack (except Eos). Powerful for Melinoë, Moros, and Soupie.
- ✅ King Coil: 20% faster Omega Special attack charge and -10 Mana. Especially good for Moros.
