Why Artemis Isn’t in the Core Boons Pool in Hades II: A Good Call?
In debates about Artemis being left out, a common point raised is the importance of game equilibrium. Many players have observed that the bonuses from Hades 1 given to Artemis were exceptionally powerful; her abilities such as Support Fire and Pressure Points significantly increased attack speed and damage to unusually high levels. One user stated, “Artemis’s abilities are excessively overpowered in this game. They can almost one-shot certain boss phases. It’s insanely strong.” It’s challenging to argue against the fact that when Artemis was included, fights could sometimes feel less like challenges and more like leisurely strolls. Achieving balance in combat is a delicate task for game creators… particularly since every player seems to relish stacking critical chance opportunities like they’re at a buffet.
