Nemesis is spoiling my game.

[Bigbellystyles]

Is it just me or does Nemesis annoy any of you with this worthless 1000 in 5 second dps test? One reason I love the Hades series is I love the multitude of combat builds and trying to come up with truly awesome builds, if I feel a build isn't working I will likely restart. However as it stands every time I feel I got a really good setup forming she comes along with that blasted dps check and steals the heart. Now I know its only health, but its the first one you get and it puts a real spoil on the build so much so I can't continue. Maybe its an OCD thing, I tried pushing past it but when it happens I can't stop thinking about it and I end up just restarting anyway.
The thing that really annoys me about it though is not that its there, but that its near impossible to actually do, unless you get lucky early with the moonstone axe and you get a huge burst build I don't see this as really possible to do. (If someone knows some trick I'm missing, please let me know).
It's just really spoiling the game for me and I was wondering if this was annoying anyone else.
Otherwise loving the game, can't wait to see some of the placeholder art be updated.

She's annoying me when she take the path I want .... Other than that she's ok, I enjoyed thanatos a lot more though.

you could just... not accept to do the dps check and move on. Press ESC, not that hard

You can steal it from her if you run to the door.

I mean sometimes you have things to do like ores, dig spot etc ... and you can't avoid it at times.

True, but when it's possible I do those before I interact with her, and if the door is really important (ex duo boons) then it's better than the materials for the long run.

It would however be nice if by 1.0 they make her fly away always.

I don't think you can always do them before (believe that when she offers a trade it's instantaneous). It also doesn't let you enough time to choose sometimes depending on where she is and where you are (had some situations where she was very close to it).

Let's hope they do something about it later on, because it ruin the character for me.

I never passed the dps tests but it also never shows up when I have my lucky runs . Dps is just luck since you can really good setups that don’t need to do dps and it’s also only 5 secs which is just dumb. At least the who can kill the most monster competition is somewhat skillful

they need to tone her down or take her out of the game. She's far more annoying than Thanatos, with all the kill stealing, gold stealing, path stealing, buying items at my shop. All of it. get it out of this game.

She's just unfun. I'm not even mad at Nemesis as a character, I'm mostly confused that the developers thought she was a good mechanic, feels like fun is usually pretty high up their list

[Sir_Noob]

I usually beat her, just rough when your main damage is locked out from a chaos boon incubating or you just start a run and have no good boon. Just do omega casts in that case, you have a good chance of winning still

[Purtater]

I managed to beat the dps test a few times. Not a whole lot because it's kinda tough but I did do it with the argent skulls and the staff. Skulls I got lucky and got boons to up the special damage and the staffs I spammed the attack with an upgrade that made the damage stronger at longer range.

[Simple Tora]

Seen her maybe 4-5 times in my 16 attempts. Lost to her once using the skulls and that's it. She's really easy to beat idk what yall doing the only annoying thing is when she takes stuff before you

you can get to the door faster with sprint and just take her door.

[Morton Koopa Jr.]

Wow. Ppl really don't like this lol. I can't even.

Despite everything she was still okay for me, until she scared away Echo >:( I was really hoping for a chance at the death defy replenish from Echo.
