How To Slam Foes Into Barriers In Hades

Slamming foes into barriers is a powerful combat technique in Hades that can deal massive damage and control the battlefield. This guide will walk you through the exact steps to master this technique and use it effectively in your runs.

Choosing the Right Poseidon Boons

To slam foes into barriers, you must select Boons from Poseidon. You have two primary options to choose from: Temporestrike or Tidal Dash. Both of these Boons provide special effects that knock foes away from their current position.

For this technique, Temporestrike is an excellent choice. This Boon causes your attack to build more damage while knocking foes away. The key advantage is that your normal attack gains a special effect that can knock foes in any direction you choose.

Positioning and Execution

Successfully slamming foes requires careful positioning. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Position Yourself Strategically

Before engaging a foe, position yourself so that the enemy is between you and a nearby wall or barrier. This ensures that when you knock the foe back, they will collide with the barrier rather than flying into empty space.

Step 2: Use Your Weapon’s Special Attack

Once you’re in position, activate your normal attack. Since you have the Poseidon Boon equipped, your attack will deal damage and knock the foe away from you toward the barrier behind them.

Step 3: Watch for the Slam Effect

When executed correctly, you’ll see the foe collide with the barrier, creating a visible impact. This is the successful “slam” effect. Repeat this process throughout your encounter to maximize damage against multiple enemies.

Practice Tips

Early-stage foes are generally softer and easier to slam, making them ideal for practicing this technique. However, the fundamental mechanics remain the same throughout your run. Focus on consistent positioning and timing to reliably execute this move against tougher enemies as you progress deeper into Hades.

Summary

Slamming foes into barriers in Hades is a straightforward but effective combat technique. Select a Poseidon Boon like Temporestrike, position yourself so enemies are between you and a barrier, and use your weapon’s normal attack to knock them into the wall. With practice, this technique will become second nature and significantly increase your damage output in combat encounters.
