How to use Shield of Chaos?

[GLM]

I keep finding mentions saying its the absolute best weapon in the game, but I can't seem to get to work nearly as well as any of the other weapons save for Spear maybe.

I'm currently moving on through the heats, I'm at 4 as my highest, and yes I have the Chaos Shield fully upgraded.

So what combination of Boons/Hammers turn the Shield into this unstopable beast everyone keeps singing the praises of?

My personal favorite is Aspect of Zeus, with Zeus boon for special, and Artemis' Support Fire. Toss the shield on an enemy and they repeatedly get hit by the shield, lightning, and an arrow several times a second.

For hammers, I find Pulverizing Blow works well with Aspect of Zeus since it won't knock enemies out of your special's spinning attack. Empowering Flight makes your next 2 attacks deal 80% more damage after your special hits, which it should be hitting something all the time.

With all of those things, you toss the shield to deal massive continuous damage while spamming normal and dash strikes to supplement it. Even the most durable targets can't stand up to the barrage of non-stop normal, special, lightning, and arrow attacks hitting multiple times per second.

Aha, sorry I seen to have messwd things up, I meant the "Aspect of Chaos" with the 5 shield throws.

That build you said does sound fun tho, will try it out once I get the chance

Just hide behind it to deflect while you charge your attack and keep jumping between the foes

I think people were only saying that prior to its nerf. I find the Zeus aspect more reliable in dealing damage imo.

It's definitely one of my top weapons. The fact that it can block basically any enemy attack apart from explosions really helps.
