While last month’s Unseen Update was meant to be Hades 2‘s final patch before the 1.0 launch, it turns out Supergiant had one more up its sleeve. The latest patch is full of balance tweaks, improvements, and fixes–including a handful that have come from players’ feedback. Here’s what’s changing.
For the most part, players are getting a boost in power with the new patch, with many of the game’s weapons, boons, and other abilities seeing buffs to damage, range, or other properties. Some abilities are being made easier to use, while a number of enemies are also becoming less punishing.
Some of the game’s boons are getting minor nerfs for balance reasons, while others are being fully replaced–the Poseidon x Hephaestus boon Seismic Hammer, Hera x Poseidon’s Golden Rule, and Demeter X Hephaestus’s Room Temperature have all been cut and replaced with brand-new boons.
