Aspect of Zagreus
Endless Healing
Hold attack and heal on every hit. Slow, but very hard to die.
Stygian Blade · Aspect of Zagreus
Merciful End
Ares on attack, Athena on special and dash: every deflect detonates Doom instantly.
The path
Use the Ares keepsake and take Curse of Agony on attack.
Switch to the Athena keepsake and look for Divine Dash (and Divine Flourish if offered).
With Ares and Athena slotted, the Merciful End duo joins the pool. Spend rerolls to find it.
Rotation: dash-strike → attack → special → repeat.
