Hades 2: Best Sister Blades Build Guide

This build guide for the Sister Blades in Hades 2 will let you thrash into Tartarus or climb Mount Olympus with relative ease.

The Sister Blades are the most iconic weapon wielded by the Princess of the Underworld, Melinoe, in Hades 2. These twin blades can be used in a fast and aggressive playing style. They combine well with several boons and fit well with both beginner and veteran players.

This build guide will explain everything you need to know about these weapons and how to melt your foes with the right combination of aspects, boons, and Arcana.

Hades 2 Best Sister Blades Build: Overview

The Aspect of Morrigan is the core part of this build, which is combined with the Nova Strike boon from Apollo. The main source of damage for this build comes from the Aspect itself. This build can be further enhanced with the Final Slice Hammer Upgrade.

With this build, you can use different parts of it to deal with various types of chambers. Bosses go down to the Aspect, while the Final Slice takes care of waves of normal enemies.

Hades 2 Best Sister Blades Build: Best Aspect

The Aspect of Morrigan is the aspect you will want for this build. It deals a high amount of damage through the Blood Trial mechanic, which can activate once you perform an Attack, Special, or Omega move. This damage alone can reach super high numbers, to the point that you do not need any specific boons to clear boss chambers.

(Note: You can perform the three moves in any order, so don’t hesitate to switch up your attack patterns based on the environment.)

Hades 2 Best Sister Blades Build: Boons

The best boons can elevate almost any build to god-like status:

Boon Name	God/Goddess	Effect
Volcanic Flourish	Hephaestus	Your Specials can cause a blast that deals 400 damage in the area.
Nova Strike	Apollo	Your Attacks deal more damage in a larger area.
Cardio Gain	Hestia	Whenever your Attack or Special deals damage, restore Magick.
Heat Rush	Hestia	Your Sprint leaves a cinder trail, and any damage you take from burning is reduced to 1.
Dazzling Display	Apollo	Your attacks may inflict Daze.

Best Upgrades To Level and Obtain

None of the boons in this build are absolutely ‘crucial’; however, Nova Strike is one you should prioritize in case you do happen upon some Poms of Power. Apart from this, you will want one of two hammers for this build. The first is Final Slice, which lets your final attack deal more damage in a larger area. This lets you clear rooms by just spamming your normal attacks.

Alternatively, you can also use Phantom Brand, which increases the damage of your Blood Triad. These two would be great additions to have for this build.

Hades 2 Best Sister Blades Build: Arcana

You will want the maximum Grasp before attempting this build. Here are the ones you will want to aim for:

• The Huntress
• Strength
• Origination
• The Sorceress
• Fates
• The Champions
• The Enchantress

Fates, Champions, and Enchantress are the most commonly seen Arcana cards. Origination is another great buff to have just to simply increase your damage by 50% consistently. You can tailor the Arcana to suit your playing style, but these are the generally great ones.

Huntress improves your Attack and Special damage, which increases your damage done without even activating your Blood Triad. You can replace Strength with Death if you are a beginner and focused on these items.

Hades 2 Best Sister Blades Build: Tips and Tricks

• If you get this build going, then you can clear almost any type of chamber without any hassle. Final Slice takes care of normal chambers with waves, while Blood Triad takes care of bosses.
• Icarus’ Full Service benefit can upgrade one of your Hammers to Rank two. This can be extremely beneficial for this build, and let you increase your damage immensely.
• Lastly, you will want to practice with Skelly and ensure that you can land Blood Triad consistently by using a combination of Attack, Special, and Cast.
