This rifle model is very commonly seen in vanilla NPCs and is one of the few that don't have a weird thing attached to the muzzle. I've been looking for it for ages!
Both Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Dawn of Sorrow had a "Belmont" mode, where you could play the game with the much more limited but still powerful Richter/Julius Belmont and seeing Nemesis advance through the Underworld made me wish there was something like that for Hades 2.
No God Boons, just Hammers, Poms (she could come with a unique Attack/Special/Cast ability that could be pommed) and a unique gameplay challenge mode/reward.
Could be something to trigger at the Oath of the Unseen so you wouldn't need to build any hub features for her, just a "I think Nemesis is out tonight" which would then start a Nemesis run.
So I've been struggling along Hades 2 for a bit now, was able to do Chronos twice using a Mel Staff build from Haelian, and been trying to at least reach the summit boss to unlock Ares since there are a lot of recommended builds using it, but I've been struggling a lot with the damage spike
I've tried Medea skull which was fantastic for most of it (Eris, Prometeus, although I took a lot of damage from his flame puddles) but the last part has been really difficult. Be it either the Eye or the Tail I get my always hit too much because I'm really bad at dodging stuff overall.
I'm playing with Strenght and Godmode (currently at 62%) but still feels like everything hurts too much.
Any tips on a particular surface build that is safer or that allows me to facetank more hits and still kill those blasted things?
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions! Circe Staff with Zeus on Cast did the trick for me!
Also, if you use her Lv2 install on any other style, while she will draw the dagger during the animation, you keep the blue flaming aura without the dagger
Just want to put out some info for those who have not tried the new patch since there is really no World Tour content anymore as it will also inform us how the following DLC characters will most likely be implemented as well:
Trailer confirms Yasmine style is available from Avatar Arcade
Been a while since I ran a corrupt/selfish Trooper, so this time I decided to keep the weapons from Balmorra and let Vik handle the business.
To my surprise I got a mail message to our contact, Darmas from the Smuggler story.
I've seen a lot of people saying this game is very solo friendly, but how much content would you be missing if you do not engage with group content? There are mandatory dungeons, etc for certain parts of the story or these are mostly sidequests?
As a comparison, GW2 and SWTOR group content feels largely optional, including dungeons which are mostly treated as side content (SWTOR even has story mode dungeons you can do solo).
How does LOTRO fares on this regard?
I see that most of the top Untamed builds are always recommending Rock Gazelle, but I grown a little bit attached to the starting Fern Hound pet and I would rather stick with it (alongside a Jacaranda, since it still feels fitting for a Sylvari) but how much I would be actually reducing the effectiveness of the my character? It would be noticeable enough of a nerf or only slightly so?

Relevant info about World Tour (MTL)
​
—Regarding World Tour, things have come to a temporary closing point with the addition of Ingrid. Moving forward, do you have plans to develop story elements or content that delves deeper into the characters to replace World Tour?
​
Nakayama: I want to do it. As a hope, that is... (laughs).
The development staff loved World Tour as well, so the desire to create something is there. However, due to various circumstances, there are parts where it has become a bit difficult. On the other hand, in terms of providing a tutorial-like role as an entry point into fighting games, I feel that World Tour has fulfilled a certain level of its purpose."

While trying to find a guide or a comprehensive list with all currently available but still locked for certain Species/Origins character customizations I decided to compile my own list and share with the community as it may affect some of our combination choices.
So far in my own research I found the following:
Trooper: 10 Unique Face Paints on Humans
Bounty Hunter: 10 Unique Face Paints on Humans
Warrior: 10 Unique Face Paints on Humans
Inquisitor: 10 Unique Scars on Humans, Twi'leks, Rattataki and Imperial Zabrak, 6 on Sith Pureblood
Another detail on Inquisitors is that they do not have all scar options available, instead their unique scars replace others that are originally available on other species/origins.
Edit: Unique "Padawan" braided hairstyle is somewhat unique to Male Human and Mirialan Knights, Consulars and Inquisitors, but is also available as a default hairstyle for Sith Pureblood of any Origin.
Edit2: Originally I added that Bounty Hunter Cyborgs have 4 unique Cybernetics, but that is not exactly the case. With the legacy unlock they get 4 components that share the same appearance with the default Cybernetics they already have, so they it show as if they have a higher number Cybernetics available but none are really unique.
While some customizations are locked at first, besides those mentioned above they are all unlocked once you fully unlocked the species on your legacy.
Just had this unfortunately affecting one of my main characters.
She is a Bounty Hunter Light Side Saboteur who went through KOTET/KOTFE and did all Light Side choices, and even briefly romanced Koth before Torian returned.
After the latest patch, my character flags have been messed up and now Koth is showing as killed on the Gravestone and he has been moved to Ineligible to the Story.
After contact with the support, they had clarified that they cannot fix the issue, despite the evidence of my previous choices in the Contact Window, he is now shown as been killed on the Gravestone, which was a choice I didn't make. So if there would ever had any events where Koth would take part (which I am doubtful but nonetheless) on this character of mine he won't show up anymore, despite of my own choices in the matter.
Just posting this to share awareness on the topic and to maybe raise attention to other players who may have missed these details in regards to certain characters that they may not want to advance further in the story if their previous story choices had been messed up.
