HADES 2 WIKI

Circe Omega Engine

Every 12 hits puts you in a Serene state where the next Omega move costs nothing net and deals far more damage. Turns the staff into a repeating burst engine.

Nymph state after 12 hits doubles Omega value

Aspect of Circe

After 12 hits with Attack or Special you enter a Serene state: your next Omega move costs nothing net and deals significantly more damage. Because the counter is built with cheap hits, Circe rewards weapons and boons that land many small instances of damage rather than a few large ones.

Boon priority

  1. 1Zeus on Attack — each bolt counts toward the Serene counter
  2. 2Hestia Flame Strike for Scorch that scales with beam ticks
  3. 3Any Gain boon; Serene refunds the cost but you still need the pool
  4. 4Apollo for range, which makes channeling safer

Playstyle

Fire cheap Specials to build the counter, then spend Serene on the Omega Attack beam rather than the Special — the beam benefits far more from the damage bonus.

Position before you channel. The beam's length is your safety margin; if enemies are already close, dash first.

Track the counter by sound rather than watching the HUD — it lets you keep your eyes on enemy tells.

Recommended Duo Boons

Zeus + Poseidon

Master Conductor

Master Conductor converts Zeus's single-target Blitz into area damage. The problem Zeus normally has is that his bolts hit one enemy at a time; Poseidon's Slip both amplifies the damage and marks the target so the bolt chains outward. In a crowded room the difference is dramatic — one bolt can clear a cluster that would otherwise take several seconds.
