What Is the Best Hades 2 Hestia Build?

Hestia’s blessings focus on a new status effect called Scorch. Enemies with this debuff will receive damage over time, and the more Scorch stacks you inflict, the greater the damage they will get.

• Weapon: Witch Staff – Hestia’s blessings work well with various weapons, but I prefer the Witch Staff. It is a balanced weapon with good melee and ranged attacks.
• Animal Familiar: Toula – The cat can increase the amount of HP you gain from Death Defiance.
• Arcana Cards:
  • The Unseen – You can restore two Magick every second.
  • The Centaur – Your max HP and Magick increase by three points every five chambers.
  • The Huntress –Your Attacks and Specials deal more damage when your Magick gauge isn’t full.
  • The Furies – You deal more damage to enemies with your Cast.
• Keepsakes:
  • Everlasting Ember (Hestia) – At the start of your run, I recommend equipping Hestia’s Keepsake to increase your chance of getting her Boons.
  • Discordant Bell (Eris) – You can pick this gear if you prefer a more risky gameplay. It can increase the amount of damage you give and receive by 0.5 percent after each encounter.
  • Silver Wheel (Hecate) – This item can regenerate your Magick up to 1,000 points every night.
• Daedalus Upgrades:
  • Rapid Moonfire – Your Special is 20 percent faster and increases its power by five.
  • Extending Wallop – Your attacks have more range and deal 50 percent more damage to distant enemies.
  • Double Moonshot – Your Special fires two extra projectiles.
• Boons:
  • Hearth Gain – Rapidly regenerate your Magick, but you lose 20 percent of your max HP.
  • Flame Flourish – Your special applies Scorch.
  • Glowing Coal – Aim a fiery projectile by holding your Cast.
  • Smolder Ring – Your Cast regularly inflicts Scorch on enemies.
  • Fire Extinguisher – Enemies with at least 300 Scorch receive a burst of damage that consumes the effect.
