Overview
How to Beat hard mode and the builds and methods requried to do so.
Main Content
Due to a high influx of questions, comments and me doing dozens of playthroughs I have decided to add more to the guide.
Here are some good gods that can be chosen for this game mode:
Mages: Afro, Hel
ADCs: Cernnunos, Ah Muzen Cab (AMC), Anhur
Tanks/Frontline: Nike, Bellona, Amaterasu
Some examples of team comps are:
Nike, Hel, Cernnunos
Amaterasu, AMC, Cernnunos
Bellona, Afro, AMC
They are listed in order of effectiveness so the closer the god is to the front of the list the better it is in my opinon for example Nike has cleave auto attacks as does bellona however Nike has the ability to jump and dodge boss abilites and her ult gives a much better buff than say a bellona ult
A good build/team comp to have is reperesented in the image I uploaded along with the gods also in the image.
Items:
ADCs: Malice, Deathbringer, Wind Demon, Bloodforge, Hastend Fatalis, Executioner
Warriors/Frontline: Asi, Stonecutting Sword, Soverenty, Shifters Sheild, Deathbringer, Wind Demon
Mages: Rod of Asclepuis, Shoguns Kusari/Gauntlet of Thebes, Pythags, Rod of Tahuti, Chronos Pendant, Lotus Crown
Thanks to iRaffer for completeing this adventure on Hard mode lots of the work in this guide was based on his run through and from my experiences doing runs.
The Hydra
It does AOE damage in pools all gods should try to dodge these pools as they do massive amounts of DMG roughly about 900 per green pool which you can hear from a large hissing noise where the hydra heads start firing into the air.
It will use an attack where a dragon head appears on your god after a few seconds it will spawn a big AOE acid pile beneath your character
Undead minons will also spawn and take out AMC hives and disturb the team
You should all have all 3 buffs avaliable from the shop
This is only meant as a tips guide this is non-conclusive and should be taken as such if you have a better method I suggest you post your own guide about it I would love to try somthing else
