Can anyone else not stand nemesis?

[Kaein]

Seriously she's absolutely the worst to run into in a run. If you get a lot of survivability boons and not dps she'll steal 100 gold from you, she locks out routes, she steals stuff at the store...

Seriously she's the absolute worst and I hate even seeing her stupid face. She's the most frustrating character in the game.

[Travelinjack]

You can run ahead of her. So she only takes something if you're unprepared. if you're good enough with a decent build then you can out damage her any day. You dont always have to agree to her deals... honestly she's fine. And if you stop looking at it as a negative... she helps you kills things in the later levels easier.

stealing gold can be somewhat annoying but i love that she tries to steal from you. it's very satisfying when you beat her to it

[Acatane]

Well - it´s literally the personification of an .. a nemesis.
It´s annoying in the very early game, but honestly after several runs I don´t care much. And it might be imagination, but I think it got better after some nectar.
She still takes one of the exits but she didn´t steal my Charon items for a while.

its in her name.

plus shes really easy to bet in contest, and any choice theft she gives time for you to pick and go in first

She has the same issue that Thanatos had in the first Hades: since they both one shot enemies but don't have AoE, it's really easy to win when you're in a room with many small enemies. But it's almost impossible to beat them if there are only a few high HP monsters.

But it's fine since runs are always RNG-dependant.

its a long time between swings in both cases, once you learn how they fight even in small count rooms its not much of an issue, just watch who shes gonna steal and focus the others.

That’s the point. It’s in her name.

jokes aside i know what u mean tho lol but its part of the fun in the lore and rng for me tbh

[Tropical Cyclone Jason]

I agree. i dont like the stupid ass retarded vs event where she 1 shots all enemies and wins mid run....

Jaqfrost, have you ever heard the phrase "opposites attract" before?

I think you're super freaking downbad for Nem and just won't admit it to yourself yet.

[Fire walk with me]

Warming up popcorn for eventual Nemsis X Moros threesome with Mel.

[Crow Buddy]

Mel is a domestic abuse victim now?

If this is Steam forum bait, it's pretty, pretty, pretty good.

If we are turning this into politics, then I support Prometheus and despise Mel.
(but I like Mel very much, I'm so conflicted ;_;)

Please don't turn this into politics. All I'm getting at is that I would enjoy the game more if Nem were either less awful or made a straight up villain. I've known too many people who put up with toxic a**hats like Nem. Every dialogue makes me want Mel to kick her to the curb. Their interactions make Mel seem, at best, like a doormat. It's cringe.

It does kind of sound like you are projecting your own personal traumas onto a work of fiction though.

Yeah, bingo.
