If you're not building around casts in Hades 2, I'm sorry to report that you are playing this roguelike on hard mode

Hades 2.

Hades 2 is a huge roguelike game with endless build possibilities. That can be a blessing or a curse, depending how lucky you are. From which of the Nocturnal Arms you end up favoring to the wealth of Hades 2 keepsakes, godly blessings, and familiar companions to choose from, it's all too easy to get so lost in the sauce that you forget about the basics.

By that, I mean you're neglecting cast and magic builds. I get it, I get it: you've unlocked some of the best weapon aspects in Hades 2 and are far too busy with a belter Persephone Revaal build to care about Mel's humble witchy charms. But I'm here to remind you not to underestimate the power of casts in every single build. Every single one. If you're not making use of them, all you're doing is making your life harder. Allow me to demonstrate.
