Tier List Weapon Aspect Hades 2

Staff Aspects

• Mel (A Tier) – Beginner-friendly, boosts magic and specials. Reliable but not the strongest in late-game.
• Circe (S Tier) – One of the best aspects. Familiars help apply casts and Zeus synergy makes it top-tier.
• Momus (C Tier) – Relies on delayed Omega bursts. Outclassed by other staff aspects.
• Anubis (A Tier) – Lone shades and strong Omega specials. Requires timing but very rewarding.

Dagger Aspects

• Mel (B Tier) – Strong for backstabs, but struggles against bosses. Works best with Hestia or Poseidon.
• Artemis (C Tier) – Parry and crit mechanics sound good but feel clunky in practice.
• Pan (B Tier) – Scales well with hammers but slower than before. Decent, but not amazing.
• Morrigan (A Tier) – Huge burst damage potential with Blood Triad combos. Strong but execution-heavy.

Torch Aspects

• Mel (A Tier) – Great for magic-focused builds and pairs well with Athena or Hera.
• Moros (S Tier) – Lingering attacks that explode into massive bursts. Fantastic with Zeus or Aphrodite.
• Eos (B Tier) – Unique AoE tool, but overshadowed by Moros and Supay.
• Supay (S Tier) – Dash-focused aspect that makes runs fluid and fun. Best with Poseidon sprint.

Axe Aspects

• Mel (B Tier) – Provides extra health and attack power. Simple but doesn’t scale as well.
• Charon (A Tier) – Cast-focused and powerful with Poseidon geysers. Flexible and strong.
• Thanatos (A Tier) – Attack speed and crit chance make this aspect reliable and deadly.
• Nergal (S Tier) – Berserk mechanic with lifesteal and AoE potential. A top choice for high Fear runs.

Skull Aspects

• Mel (B Tier) – Decent starter aspect, not standout compared to others.
• Medea (A Tier) – Poison-focused and consistent damage over time. Very strong in long fights.
• Persephone (S Tier) – Healing, sustain, and great synergy with durable builds. Excellent all-rounder.
• Hel (A Tier) – High-damage nukes, but requires good setup. Rewarding when mastered.

Coat Aspects

• Mel (B Tier) – Decent magic utility, but overshadowed by stronger coat aspects.
• Selene (A Tier) – Buffs magic builds and works well with cast-heavy playstyles.
• Nyx (S Tier) – Top-tier for casting and shadow-based builds. Strong in nearly every situation.
• Shiva (S Tier) – One of the best coats, offering raw power and utility. Very flexible in builds.

If you want the strongest aspects in Hades 2 (1.0), focus on: Circe (Staff), Moros & Supay (Torches), Nergal (Axe), Persephone (Skull) and lastly Nyx & Shiva (Coat)!  These stand out for their damage, synergy, and ease of use, making them top-tier for both beginners and veterans. That said, every aspect has a niche, and experimenting is part of the fun. Lower-tier aspects can still shine with the right boons and hammers, so don’t be afraid to try them out.
