Puppet Master - Hades

Overview:

Hades is a shadow-attribute Divine Grace character, who possesses high fixed damage and Crit DMG.

In the current game environment, she has extremely high cost-performance at very low investment, making her very suitable for F2P or new players.

Her weakness is also quite obvious: before Synergy, her burst has a long warm-up time. This character needs to learn to control her Divine Grace, especially with the Red line, where Divine Grace needs to be constantly controlled between 40-60.

In summary, Hades is a character who can both support and DPS. Because of her fixed damage mechanic, she has decent damage output even at low transcendence. Her overall output capability has been surpassed by a number of Tian Yuan characters after version 2.0, getting comparatively weaker and weaker.

Although her Synergy is average, when paired with S-Rank Oneiroi, her damage can be doubled. So overall, Hades’s current strength is acceptable.

Synergy Evaluation:

A mediocre Synergy. Although the Aether Code now provides initial Divine Grace, freeing up the warp slots for positions 5 and 6, there isn’t much else to put there.

The signature Functor shortens the acquisition time of the Chthonic Marks, greatly reducing the damage downtime, so the signature Functor is now very useful. However, the rank-up benefits are still not good.

The old problem of fixed damage against current high-HP bosses is no different from tickling them. Fortunately, S-Rank Oneiroi was released at the same time as her Synergy, which can double Hades’s output.

Sigil Recommendations:

• Standard DPS Build:

  • Slots 1, 3, 5: [Mooncrown].
    • For a cross-element team, consider [Dark Plague].
  • Slots 2, 4, 6: [Acheron's Obol].
  • Omega sigils: Choose between
    • Replacing 2, 5 with [Eljudnir].
    • Replacing 5, 6 with [Ruler of the Heavens].

• Sub-DPS for Selene:

  • Slots 1, 3, 5: [Vanishing Essence].
  • Slots 2, 4, 6: [Acheron's Obol].

Sigil Enchants:

If your teammate is not S-Rank Oneiroi, you can roll for enchants normally. With Oneiroi, it is recommended to prioritize maxing out [Berserk] for higher returns.

Aether Code Recommendations:

It is recommended to use the Red line “Deliberation Unspoken”. The advantage is that it has the highest damage among all her Aether Codes, but the disadvantage is that you need to pay attention to controlling the Divine Grace range in real-time.

If you want a more straightforward playstyle, you can choose the Blue line “Boundary Unseen”. You can cast skills freely without needing to control Divine Grace, but the damage is not as high as the Red line.

The Yellow line “Hoax Unheard” has DEF and RES reduction, making it a good support Aether Code.

Stat Boost Priority:

• It is recommended to prioritize upgrading Skill 1, followed by Skill 3 and Skill 2. If you have extra resources, you can choose to upgrade her Ultimate and Normal Attack.

Team Recommendations:

• Currently, there are two recommended team compositions.
  • One is Hades with two supports, i.e., S-Rank Oneiroi + any support (Skuld is the best).
  • The other is a team with one support and one sub-DPS, i.e., Dreamshade + any Shadow DPS (Selene, Anubis, A-Rank Tsukuyomi , Bastet are recommended. When teamed with Selene, Hades is the sub-DPS).
