Hades Tips: 10 Crazy Tricks & Builds You Need To Try
6. The Crit-A-Cutter
An underrated aspect in many ways, Demeter's aspect on the gloves can give some of the chunkiest hits on the Fists, and can be built with just one specific Base boon. There's a reason Demeter is included in the top Speedruns along with the plethora of Eris gun runs.
The "Crit-A-Cutter" or Demeter's gigacutter only requires the base of Artemis boon on the Special. With the 5 bonus hits Demeter gets on the Special after 12 base attacks, multiple bonus Specials almost ensures that one of them will be Critical. This is made even more powerful when paired with the Kinetic Launcher Hammer Upgrade, which turns the uppercut into a charged rocket fist that you can point at your enemies, which eats up most of their health in one move.
Additional upgrades to make this even better include Special damage upgrades from Chaos, using Charon's Keepsake at Styx on the off-chance you get Special Damage in the Well; Aphrodite on Attack for the Heart Rend Duo (+150% Critical Damage on Weak enemies); and extra critical chance and damage from Artemis and other god duos.
Landing critical specials on enemies with this build is immensely satisfying to see in action.
