Walkthrough

1
Aspect of Poseidon (Stygius): This Aspect focuses on enhancing your Cast. With the right Cast combination, the +50% damage buff can be potent. Consider using Snap Nova to dislodge bloodstones from a distance. The Aspect of Poseidon is best used with Sticking Casts and Infernal Soul, though it can be underwhelming without a strong cast. It can serve as a permanent +50% damage Cast buff, especially when using Non-Sticking Casts or Stygian Soul, though the Aspect of Achilles offers a superior +150% buff for Cast combinations. Its niche is enhancing and dislodging Sticking Casts with weaker combinations but more frequent use.
2
Aspect of Arthur (Eternal Spear): This Aspect makes the Eternal Spear a viable melee weapon. Its three-hit combo deals substantially higher damage. The Special creates a defensive aura that reduces damage taken by 40% at max level, slows enemy projectiles, and deactivates traps within its radius. It also provides +50 max health. This Aspect allows you to tank hits comfortably within a confined space.

Tips

Aspect of Poseidon Complementary Upgrades/Boons: Snap Nova, Casting boons, Exit Wounds (Artemis supplemental boon for flat damage upon bloodstone dislodging), defensive Dash boons (Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter), defensive Special boons (Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena, possibly Dionysus with Numbing Sensation).
Aspect of Arthur Attack Boon Choices: Aphrodite (Heartbreak Strike) for high damage and neutralizing sturdy enemies, Athena (Divine Strike) for warding off ranged attacks, or Demeter (Frost Strike) for slowing agile enemies. Heartbreak Strike is particularly effective against Hades and Asterius.
Aspect of Arthur Other Attack Boon Options: Artemis (Deadly Strike) for critical hits, Poseidon is tolerable but may cause you to dash out of your aura. Avoid Zeus, Ares, and Dionysus for Attack boons as they inflict flat damage.

Aspect of Arthur Movement: You can dash between consecutive swings of the three-strike combo to reposition yourself advantageously.
