Aspect of Achilles
Hunting Blades
Ares cast with the Achilles buff: the blades chase foes on their own and the run plays itself.
Eternal Spear · Aspect of Zagreus
Exploding Launcher
Hammer-dependent: with Exploding Launcher the special becomes a missile and you never fetch the spear.
The path
Start with Tidal Dash from Poseidon and delay your attack pick until you see the first hammer.
If Exploding Launcher shows up, pivot hard to the special (Deadly Flourish).
Aphrodite on attack (Heartbreak Strike) opens Heart Rend.
Second hammer: Charged Skewer.
Tips
- The Reddit guide suggests: if you want a special build, just use the Guan Yu aspect.
