Any Advice about the weapons for someone who isnt rly much in to that game?
So far i kinda like the spear and the bow but most threads i find about the bow are negativ

Try Shield you might find it easy to enjoy

Weirdly the weapon I seem to struggle with the most is the sword. I guess I'm not choosing the the right boons or something.

the bow is difficult to use. Use the shield together with Zeus' blessings for the special attack and Poseidon's blessings for the dodge attacks, which serve to push the enemies as well.

I don't favor Poseidon because his knockback effects are useless against bosses. For dash I would rather have Zeus or Athena

You realize that, wish Poseidon knockback dash, you can kill all the bosses with dashes alone, without ever using attack, special or cast? The knockback itself doesn't happen, but the damage and all the synergies are still up. You can kill Hades with dashes alone. It's a good option for new players because you effectively need to concentrate on only one mechanic - the dash. Makes learning the patterns of the bosses much easier, and the final area that's usually a torment for new players suddenly becomes a piece of cake because you're knocking the enemies into the walls all the time and everything dies just so quickly. I did that a lot when I started diving into the heat runs.

Obviously, you cannot do that forever, and combining Poseidon dash with actual attacks is much better. I'm just saying it's definitely viable for players who are new to the game.

Is that better than using Zeus's dash together with Jolted? I would think that would do more damage

Knockback is incredibly useful for keeping enemies off you while playing ranged. Honestly Poseidon boons in general are underestimated I feel, he's more useful than people give him credit for.

The bow is subjective. A lot of people hate it, for me it's my most successful weapon. I have the most wins with the bow so far.

the bow is my favorite weapon

a lot of people say the shield is the strongest weapon and i tend to agree.

regardless, any weapon can be strong with the right build

[Aumires]

The easiest weapon for most people tends to be the shield, as it comes with frontal guard.

I am a rail/gun user myself. Fast paced shooting gameplay where you can dash while blasting and recharging. And those AoE attacks are amazing too!
