Learn what Olympian boons do and why a focused combination usually helps more than random rarity.

01 / 03

Understand the mechanic

A boon adds or modifies an ability during an escape attempt. Gods offer different effects and subsequent choices can interact with existing attack, special, cast or dash abilities. Strong runs often arise from consistent synergies, not from collecting unrelated high-rarity options.

02 / 03

Put it into practice

Start by choosing the action you use most reliably with your current Infernal Arm. Prioritize boons that reinforce it, then add survivability or utility where needed. Look at the complete effect description rather than comparing only the color of the reward card.

  1. 01Identify your main attack pattern
  2. 02Read how a boon triggers
  3. 03Prefer one compatible synergy
  4. 04Adapt if later offers differ
03 / 03

Common mistake to avoid

A boon that excels on one weapon aspect may feel awkward on another. Do not use a universal ranking without accounting for attack speed and your preferred range.
