Zagreus Sword Aspect Build

[FelixSylvaris]

Zagreus Sword isnt interesting aspect, but if i level it up anyway, what would be the best use? Just play nemesis is not an answear im looking for.
Some ideas:
Athena Attack Ares Special and fish for duo.
Zeus Attack, Poseidon Dash and maybe Special, fish for duo, maybe some Ares if lucky. So generally we focus on Zeus lighting, but we also deal damage from rapture and dashing, and there is Revange boons.
Dio Attack, Aprhorite Special, Ares Dash. We are fishing for Duos. And fast attacks hammer/chaos. We stack more Hangover and it procs faser.

Generally Zagr sword is fast, so Dio, Zeus looks good. But Ares with stacking Doom could be good too.

Some cool ideas?

If you want skelly's companion you will need a lvl 5 sword anyway so you might as well get it.

That is my thinking. It is the easy companion, and it even works on Hades, so might as well pick it up, even if it is not the best.

And since i hate level 5 Zagr sword might use it for some fun.

I like using it for Hermes-heavy builds. Stack movement speed and attack speed, get the hammer upgrade that lets you attack by holding down the attack button, and it quickly turns into a meatgrinder. Rush Delivery can be *very* good on this sort of build, if you can get the stars to align. It's also a great candidate for Sea Storm builds, due to the high attack speed.

I don't get the hype around Nemesis, honestly. It's awkward to use and the dps has never felt that notable to me.

With the Zag sword, I find that, if you're not gonna be doing a Dash-attack build, then the best way to get any mileage out of it is to do the Cursed Slash/Flurry Slash combo, grab some Attack boons from Chaos, and maybe either Aphrodite or Artemis (and Hermes' attack speed boon if you're REALLY lucky). Good luck getting the stars to align, but when they do you're really gonna have fun. Make sure to grab Athena's dash too, so you can have some cover when repositioning yourself.

Nemesis had some high heat world record speedrun so it's definitely not bad. 30% crit is huge.

It has extra attack speed, so if I had to use it I'd try to get Flurry Slash, and while I'd just let RNG take the wheel normally, if I was looking for a specific build, yeah I'd just go the usual Heart Rend build with Artemis on attack and Aphro on special, or maybe Merficul End like you said but with Ares on attack and Athena on either dash or special.

It's really just the white bread of weapon aspects. It's versatile, but that's pretty much it. It won't be all that notable, anything you could do well would be reliant on your boons, at which case it's hard justifying picking it in the first place and the only real purpose is just cause you feel like it. Which is fine, but doesn't leave you with any notable builds that you can really sink your teeth in when specifically using it.

I think that the difference is that with Nemesis i want % boon on attack, so the crits will give big numbers. So athena is very nice, aphrodite is also ok.
With Zagr Aspect, i can pick magic boon on attack like Zeus/Dio/or even Ares.
So there is a difference if i go magic or % attack.
