Aspect of Lucifer is Terrible

[Raidey]

Please, someone change my mind. Am I doing something wrong, or is this aspect really bad? Damage is lackluster, the special is especially disappointing in that regard, and the beam doesn't destroy projectiles. It feels like a straight downgrade.

Zeus + Artemis and you are good to go on any boss

Is there anything about that specific combo that works better with the Aspect of Lucifer than the default aspect in some way?

infinite ammo upgrade + zeus attack procs + arthemis support fire procs + 30% attack speed hermes gg ezz

Well, you can use the special to create a minefield, depending on your hammers that can get really interesting. Since it also pulses damage instead of immediately exploding you could in theory one shot certain armored enemies or apply stacks while running away. Triple lasers cant be overlooked.......did i mention lasers?

Artemis critical on attack + Daedalus hammer that allows you never to reload + those Artemis tracking darts after each hit + triple laser Daedalus hammer and 30% attack speed from Hermes.... Just did this run like 15 minutes ago, everything was a breeze. But it was brain dead hold attack + dash.

zeus attack specked out for jolted and with as many bolt boosting perks, atemis for crit that helps break armor, infinint beam for constant spam. you could also go max poison for massive dot, or posidain for max knock back.

Dionysus is all you need.

Instant 5 stacks of hangover, with infinite ammo upgrade all you need to do is dodge around for a bit.

add any other boon with status effect on the special for extra 40% dmg from the mirror talent.

These sound like decent combos, but wouldn't they be just as effective, if not moreso, with the default aspect? Basically, I'm finding that the Aspect of Lucifer doesn't do enough to stand out.

I had the same idea, but it seems like the pulse mines are too fragile for that to be an effective strategy, since it seems like they can be blown up by enemies.

I find the bombs to work extraordinarily well with Demeter (chill effect).

It's just so fun to blow up the entire room. The tactic i was using on a 32 heat attempt was to shoot them away from the enemy, lure a group into range and set it off myself.

Dunno, I got the three bombs Daedalus upgrade and I spammed explosions everywhere until beating Hades Extreme Conditions.

My personal favorite boon has to be Demeter, instant stacking the chill effect, and hopefully you find the aspect where you can pop the chill for a bunch of damage. Helps solve the AoE problem it has, while still capitalizing on its immense single target.
Zeus also solves the AoE problem, simply shooting out massive amounts of bolts.
I don't like Diyonisis though. Hangover base damage inversely scales based on attack speed. And it caps at just 5. Sure...you get a weak 5 cap off, but then you gain nothing from continuing to single target them down.

I hated it the first few times I used it and now it's my fastest clear. Zeus.

I hear Zeus is pretty good for it, his boon lets you blow up the special easily.

First time I used and found it great spamming special mines with +dmg + area daedalus upgrade, and triple bomb daedalus upgrade. The special boon was Aphrodite
