Hades 2 already beats its predecessor as my favorite roguelike ever, but I still had to bully myself into trying its two trickiest weapons

The best thing about Supergiant's Hades games is how much experimentation comes with the territory. You can go out with a whole plan in mind, only to be scuppered from the very first chamber if the luck of the gods evades you. Roguelikes are great for pushing stubborn people like me out of their comfort zones to that end, constantly testing my build-crafting abilities and leading to myriad surprises on the way to victory – or eventual demise.

That hasn't stopped me from picking favorites in Hades 2 all the same. I've been shrinking away from the two fiddliest weapons out of sheer bewilderment, and after defeating Chronos and Eris multiple times apiece, I'm finally feeling confident enough to rectify that.
