SELENE BOON

[Khaos Makes War]

Selenes boon is so bad i just let the mobs kill me if i get her boon on the first floor i barely use that ability, its not that effective of an ability so far for me gotten plenty far with out ever using it the way the devs want it to be utilized. its so far a very underwhelming boon that needs a major boost or a chance for damage from normal or special attacks, they should add it to the boon so it has more relevance to players that don't utilize that ability, also the magic potion doors that add more magic to your bar spawn so seldom its a waste of a boon at this point, just feels like it was a rushed decision for her boon attributes

Try her 25 healing boon, think of it as free healing 3 times per biome.

Yeah Selene's boons are pretty underwhelming. I find the utility ones, like the time slow or the healing, to be her better options but the offensive based ones have too much of a cost to use alongside a significant downside -- e.g. the beam is easily interrupted, the giant AoE that does 2K+ damage takes too long to actually fire off, the Darkseid is just very weak and only good for the invulnerable, etc.

The offensive boons for Selene just does not pay off for what is supposed to be your Ult attack.

I've actually only used the ultimate once...and that was the second time I picked it up cause it showed me a tutorial.

There's just too many buttons to remember =p

I take them almost every time I see them and always pick the full moon option. The next one you pick up after that gives you 5 "skill points" to spend in the tree. Can end up with +15% passive dodge, damage, or damage reduction plus other useful buffs in addition to lowering the cost of using the ability, depending on what was selected as the full moon option that time.

I find her boons to be really powerful, but they need investment. If you get multiple serene boons you can upgrade the hex you get. The lazer beam one for instance can be modified to fire continuously without you channeling it. I have found it a very effective boss killer

I also usually just go for her utility boons, specifically the healing. I take advantage of upgrading her though as well because you can get some useful passives.

her boons feel extremely strong when upgraded though i usually go for passive buffs for when they're not up..

I had a run where i was pretty much permanently in time stop since my full charged special cost me 50 magick. 2 casts + arcana hex charging means my time stop is back up again. My magick regen was from poseidon's bubbles and aphrodite's glamour boon.

[Khaos Makes War]

no i get it i really do, the RNG is horrible for selection though but yet again for some of us its not a good utilization for how most of the other boons work hers is only for hex which is ok for some things feels like they said nah it doesnt need to buff physical damage attacks, to me feels kind of lazy if the other boons do

This, I used the healing boon a lot.

Path of the Stars changes things significantly too.

I wish it was clearer when the boon is available. Sometimes I miss the sound, and I'm playing on ultrawide so I have to take my eyes all the way off the centre of the action to check if it's a good time to use it.

Take a mana recovery boon, or equip the mana regen arcana - solved.

Selene's boons are frequently make or break for various builds. The slow enemies 80% one with the speed up self 15% upgrade completely makes or breaks some really strong torch builds I like for example.

There is a huge silver moon over Melinoe's head, and an audio sting when it's ready to use.

You can do some decent builds around some of her moves like the slam but you need specific weapons and obviosuly magic focus so her boons are hit or miss. Its not like Poseidon that works with basically everything. I do like the whole skill tree thing though so overall for me its fine to have Selene in the game.
