What is the best weapon in Hades 2?

Medea's Argent Skull (Revaal) is the consensus S-tier pick for both speedruns and high-Fear Testament runs thanks to an ~90% damage bonus on Attacks and Specials and effortless room-melt. Circe's Witch's Staff and Melinoë's Witch's Staff are the other two S-tier picks — Circe for cast-centric safety, Melinoë's Staff for the most boon-flexible all-rounder in the game.

Which Olympian boons are best in Hades 2?

Zeus and Hera are the two S-tier gods in v1.0. Zeus's Blitz stacks multiplicatively with every other Lightning boon and chain-lightning duos like Thermal Dynamics or Master Conductor turn any build into a room-clearer. Hera's Hitch (debuff transfer) makes every status effect global. Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Hestia, Demeter and Apollo are A-tier — each anchors a specific build.

How does the Oath of the Unseen work?

After beating both final Guardians (Chronos in the Underworld, Typhon on the Surface) at least seven times each, you unlock the Oath of the Unseen — Hades 2's endgame difficulty system. It has 16 Vows that stack up to Fear level 55. Completing active Vows rewards Nightmare, used to upgrade Aspects. The Night's Champion statue requires Fear 16 in the Underworld and Fear 12 on the Surface.

What is the best Arcana loadout in Hades 2?

Always slot The Sorceress (1 Grasp) — faster Omega charging touches every build. Persistence (2 Grasp) gives +40 HP and +40 Magick when maxed. The Champions (XXII) enables reroll and is the most run-defining card — path toward it on your Arcana board as early as possible. The Unseen (5 Grasp for minor Magick regen) is the worst value slot in the game.
