Weapon Aspects

Aspects reshape how a weapon plays. Each Arm has three standard Aspects plus a hidden fourth unlocked later via the Fated List and a lore requirement. Pour Titan Blood into your favourites at the Arsenal to raise their rank and effect.

Aspects by weapon

⚔️ Stygius (Sword)
Zagreus, Nemesis, Poseidon — plus the hidden Aspect of Arthur, a holy Excalibur with the Hallowed Ground aura and a defensive buff.
🔱 Varatha (Spear)
Zagreus, Achilles, Hades — plus the hidden Aspect of Guan Yu, trading max health for a spinning whirlwind and lifesteal.
🛡️ Aegis (Shield)
Zagreus, Chaos, Zeus — plus the hidden Aspect of Beowulf, a heavy shield tied to Bull Rush and load-power special.
🏹 Coronacht (Bow)
Zagreus, Chiron, Hera — plus the hidden Aspect of Rama, whose homing Power Shots mark and hit hard.
🥊 Malphon (Fists)
Zagreus, Talos (magnetic pull), Demeter (extra Special hits after you land 12 attacks) — plus the hidden Aspect of Gilgamesh, with clawing attacks that maim.
🔫 Exagryph (Rail)
Zagreus, Eris (bonus damage for a few seconds after standing in your own Special's blast), Hestia (manual reload burst) — plus the hidden Aspect of Lucifer, firing a beam of Underworld hellfire.

Standout Aspects to chase

🌪️ Aspect of Guan Yu
One of the strongest — the spin special and lifesteal make it a monster at high Heat despite reduced max HP.
🎯 Aspect of Rama
Marks enemies and rains homing Power Shots; incredible with Artemis crits and Hunter's Mark.
🗡️ Aspect of Arthur
Slow but tanky — the aura, +50 max health and huge damage make it beginner-friendly at high Heat.
⚡ Aspect of Zeus (Shield)
Turns the shield throw into a bouncing Blitz disc — pairs beautifully with Zeus lightning boons.

Aspect tips

  • Aspect of Zagreus is the default; unlock the others with Titan Blood at the weapon itself, and hidden Aspects via the Fated List.
  • Concentrate Titan Blood on one or two Aspects you love rather than spreading it thin.
  • Hidden Aspects change a weapon the most — great picks for pushing higher Heat.
  • Match the Aspect to a boon plan: Rama loves Artemis, Guan Yu loves attack boons, Beowulf loves special boons.

Budgeting Titan Blood

  • Each Aspect has five ranks; the first rank unlocks it and each further rank meaningfully strengthens its effect.
  • Titan Blood is scarce early — fully rank one or two Aspects rather than dabbling in six.
  • Hidden Aspects (Arthur, Rama, Guan Yu, Lucifer…) transform a weapon the most and are worth prioritising.
  • The Fated List and higher Heat clears pay out Titan Blood, so pushing difficulty funds more Aspects.
