Spamming "magic special"

[Lenuna De Laneo]

Is it just me or does spamming the magic special feel really OP and takes all the fun out of "actually" fighting? Not that I am saying that I want to go back to the old Hades 1 system but just being able to spam it seems a bit strange?

What is magic special?

you mean the special on the torches? or maybe the cast?

You gotta mention what weapon you're talking about. The only weapons where I would agree the special is stronger than the normal attack, is the Skull weapon, but I like spamming that. I'm sure you can build a strong attack on the Skull.

As for the other weapons, aren't they all OP when you build that particular feature? Hell, you can win against Chronos by building around Sprint damage without attacking once.

Lenuna, do you mean the Omega Cast? Like, you hold down the cast button, it costs 15 magick, etc?

Talking about the default special for the starting weapon. Not the portal on the ground but the attack that looks like the default one in Hades 1 (you only had 3 at the start and had to collect them). Now you can just spam them and happy days. Seems a bit OP.

Oh that, nah not really all that strong on it's own really. It only does like 10 damage.

The staff does have great Omegas though, it's a solid weapon that I honestly have no overall complaints about.

I usually build more heavily on attack or cast. Rarely do I spend much on special. Attack and cast so far seem to me like they have better DPS, generally. Zeus cast seems like it's way overtuned.

It's only OP until you realize just how tanky later enemies get. It badly needs flat damage boons like Poseidon's to carry, because +40% damage or so is only 14 for it. It's good for it's range and tracking, but needs heavy specialization to keep up with even armored enemies, let alone the bosses.
