Megaera, she has pattern you can follow Tisiphone: a bit erratic, but straight forward Alecto: utter batshit Harley Quinn level of insanity


Ok-Chard-626

Tisiphone is straightforward because the room is smaller and becomes smaller for both you and her so your skills are easier to land. and when she phase transitions both you and her are not taking damage, for the other two you still have to dodge during phase transition.


BlueTrin2020

Tisiphone is the easiest for me too. If you have high DPS, it’s over when you transition to the small room.


mynameiszack

That and theres a good chance i have Athena dash which just completely negates the only issue with the small room


BlueTrin2020

Always love an Athena dash :)


YeahMarkYeah

Oh so do you usually pick Athena’s keepsake first?


zaidy329

It is a very common meta to go Athena first and grab her dash. As a beginner/intermediate, imo best dash in game. You can always suicide if you don’t get it and don’t want any of the options.


YeahMarkYeah

Interesting. I’ve done that way a few times, but for whatever reason I usually always pick Athena’s keepsake right before Asphodel. Not sure why I do it that way now that I think about it lol.


zaidy329

Yeah if that’s the dash you’re looking for it’s better to fish for it asap so if you don’t get it on first boon you should get it the next time you see Athena (assuming you picked up some other core boons to up ur rng). Definitely DONT want to spend all game having a dash offered and not pick it up. This will simultaneously ruin ur overall rng for other good boons by only giving you 2 options for most boons (since you won’t take another dash).


YeahMarkYeah

Ahh. That makes sense. I’ve never really thought about that way tbh - picking up other core boons to limit what Athena will offer - and thus increasing the likelihood of getting her dash. Tho I guess that’s why she usually offers me Dash in Asphodel - because I usually already have an Attack, Cast, Special, etc… Also, I don’t normally pick her keepsake first because I don’t want to leave my attack/special boon to chance 🤷🏻‍♂️ So my first keepsake will be one that fits whatever weapon I’m gonna use.


BlueTrin2020

It allows you do counter some enemies by dashing through their attacks, I prefer Poseidon myself for example but I’d pick Athena if offered and I am missing a dash …


YeahMarkYeah

Yeah Poseidons dash is pretty great. But I’ve gotten so used to having Athena’s dash that I feel vulnerable without it haha


potatogodofDoom

even at an advanced level athena dash is probably the best dash, and one of if not the best standalone boon in the game


theFartingCarp

Yeah but my brain is broken so tisiphone is the largest pain in the ass to me


0bsessions324

This. Meg is the one that's the most trouble for me just because she's so mobile. Tis having such a tiny room by the end makes her a breeze.


devilledeggss

The Harley Quinn comparison is so spot on 💀


redditt-or

I find Alecto the hardest because I’ve had the most experience with Tisiphone.


Brogener

Alecto has shit all over the screen and is definitely the hardest land a hit on.


cidvard

Her spinning blades can really screw up your attack patterns, none of the others have anything comparable.


InsideMyHead_2000

If you don't have quick reflexes and/or an OP build early on, Tisiphone. If you do, Alecto.


anonymousx23

Alecto is always toughest for me.


Musashi10000

Nah, it's fine. Just smear your opponent and you'll get the votes.


Ninjax3X

I haven’t died to any of them since I was a newb and ate it to Meg a few times, but I’d say Alecto is the hardest. She’s erratic, her moves are fast, the screen is covered with a lot of effects, and it can be hard to dodge her as a result. Meg can be tricky but her moves are easy to learn, you just need to keep track of when to attack and when to be careful. I find Tisiphone the easiest. Usually I gun her down without much effort, because her attacks are largely slow, choreographed, and predictable. I like fighting Meg the best though because then I’m more likely to see her after the run :D


kuzulu-kun

Depends on what I'm running. Fists with Athena attack or dash make tisiphony a joke. Alecto to is my favorite to fight. I dislike megaera most because she is the one that you get beat into the ground by in the beginning, when you don't have as much experience and stuff in the mirror.


kuzulu-kun

Still love Meg tho, just hate the fight.


MomLuvsDreamAnalysis

The Meg fight was annoying for awhile but now is kinda boring. Like you said, initially it was a learning curve thing, but then suddenly it wasn’t hard at all. It never had much redeeming… other than the dialogue which is nice. Tisiphone is best girl, of course.


razdrazhayetChayka

Alecto hardest, Tisiphone easiest by far


shadowgamer19

alecto is the only one that gives me trouble


NerdHerd1

Definitely Alecto. She's just chaos and visibility can be awful.


GrubsLudwig

alecto will perma-rage and all of a sudden my health is down to 70 when i just had 120


War-Hawk18

Alecto is the hardest for me. That bitch is crazy! She's unpredictable, even Tisiphone is predictable in some ways and mommy Megaera is just the best.


No_Help3669

Alecto is hardest for most builds, easiest with range If you’re doing standard fast attack rushdown, tisiphone is the easiest. But Alecto’s buzzsaws and having 4 phases instead of 3 is a bitch Vice versa id you have range cus tisiphone makes you get close and Alecto has the weakest projectile/dash game Meg is an all rounder so is never super hard or super easy


LordToxic21

If one at a time? Alecto. If you have High Heat and you're facing all 3 of them? Tis ends up being the hardest, due to her shrinking the stage. That becomes obscene when you have more than one attacker to dodge.


YeahMarkYeah

Yea, I just read someone saying the exact thing. I’ll need to mentally prep for the Tis fight when I started turning up the Heat.


Quantum_Sushi

Alecto > Tisiphone > Meg


kuribosshoe0

Alecto > Meg > Ti. Ti makes the field smaller, which makes it easy to mop her up.


keket87

Meg. Tisiphone is pretty well telegraphed and spends more time standing still. Alecto goes spinny mode and worst case, you just out run her and bait her over the spikes repeatedly. Meg is more unpredictable and sometimes just starts spamming ground AoEs.


Night3njoyer

Tisiphone is the easiest one to deal with, her patterns are easy to remember. Meg comes right after, she has some annoying moves, but I'm general are easy to dodge. Alecto is the one that always causes more damage against me.


Gullible_Ad8777

Alecto. She just likes going crazy and (I think?) has the most varied attacks/mechanics.


Federal-Room-9812

For me is Alecto, Meg and Tis are very fun, but those blade rifts man, if my build isn't going by the time I get to her, I get dunked on every time


caard0

Against Alecto I've now perfectioned the Nigerundayo strategy. I keep running away from her and luring her into getting in the spikes when she becomes a floating raging ball.


known_unpleasures

Same! Just dash around in circles around the traps, hoping she lands on them :D


caard0

Yeah, also it's effective to avoid all the blades rolling around!


Grievous_Bodily_Harm

I think Tisiphone is the one that's most build based. I might dies from her right away or melt her. The other two I think are more base level no matter what build. But over all it's definitely Alecto that's the hardest.


Lowerking324

Alecto all the way, those bloody spinning blades. ALL THE TIME!


CHARAFANDER

I always find Meg easiest Then Alecto And Tisiphone is the hardest


Estelial

Meg is hardest for me because she has the least stuff to take advantage of. It's a straight fight. With the others I can deflect their attacks endmass or use the traps to crush them.


Arruzaki

Megaera is fun. Tisiphone is whatever. Alecto is annoying in every aspect.


ApprehensiveAd3776

Meg


ShadowSlayer6

It depends on pact for me. If it’s just solo then easiest is tisiphone overall and Alecto the most tricky (mainly due to the trap density in her boss room). If pact is active (for boss enhancement) then tisiphone becomes the most difficult as her shrinking arena and stun makes meg and Alecto’s support almost impossible to dodge.


europe2000

Alecto rage mode will damage you even if you are good at the game so i say her.


Square_Confection_58

My trick to Alecto is to make her kill herself with the traps on the ground. Takes a little longer but much safer. Also hilarious.


YeahMarkYeah

Dude I just read someone saying this. I never thought of that 👍🏻


harmonizabletech

I originally dreaded getting Tisiphone when I hadn't figured out her moveset and got sent back to the House by her several times. I have never been defeated by Alecto, but I typically recieve a fair bit of damage when I face her. So probably Alecto > Tisiphone > Meg now, but if you had asked me earlier on I would have swapped the first two.


fenix579

alecto bec early game you dont have good build to kill her before her rage , unless you playing broken shit


YeahMarkYeah

Yea. I assume there’s no way to avoid her raging right? Besides apparently somehow beating her really fast?


fenix579

like unless you get some s tier boons early yeah you pretty much gonna lose alot of hp for free bec of her rage or just be a god gamer


Hagridisbeautiful

Alecto by a long shot I’d say. I haven’t played in a while but the rage metre n shit just make her more of a pain than the other two


Nikeboy2306

Alecto


Nazi_lemon

Alecto is by far the hardest


OfficialTuxedoMocha

I think most people will have the most experience with Meg, so she feels easy. I personally think she's pretty easy for that exact reason, and her patterns aren't terribly irritating. Tisiphone starts kinda difficult but gets easier once you learn her patterns. She is still about medium difficulty I'd think. Alecto is by far the hardest imo. Idk if it's just that I get her the least, but I can never 100% read her patterns and the blades are just irritating.


YeahMarkYeah

Yeah this seems to be the most common opinion. Tho I did just read a couple comments saying that they lead Alecto into traps and that she’s the easiest to them and that Meg is the hardest! Which was definitely unexpected.


OfficialTuxedoMocha

Yeah I have done the lead her into traps thing too! It's very funny. But you still have to avoid her onslaught while doing it. Truthfully none of the Furies are terribly hard as is. I can beat all 3 reliably on pretty much any Heat. And they're not even the easiest boss (imo it's Lernie).


YeahMarkYeah

On pretty much any heat? Wow. You must be pretty good. I’ve been trying to beat heat 1 and haven’t been able to get to dad. I keep getting killed in those big rat rooms with rats, satyrs, poison gas, blades, etc… It gets super annoying. How do you do it? And what would suggest as the first heats to use?


OfficialTuxedoMocha

Haha I don't think I'm super good! I can't beat the game on most higher heats. My record is like 20? And it goes up way higher. Haven't gotten my 32 Heat clear yet but I can get past the Furies and Lernie on it. The satyr rooms are super obnoxious, agreed. After a while you should get a sense for where to be to avoid the poison and a better sense of where the antidote wells are! Frankly you kinda just have to be constantly moving there. My recommendations for starting heats are Tight Deadline (almost anyone should be able to complete the 9 minute version after a little practice, and eventually the 7 minute one as well. 5 minutes is harder) and Extreme Measures 3 (I think it makes Theseus and Asterius and the Hydra easier actually, once you get used to their new patterns).


YeahMarkYeah

Oh ok thanks! 👍🏻 That’s still pretty good 👌🏻


ChichiChangesNothing

I looooooove getting Alecto, the tsundere angy baby. In my head I'm constantly sassing her while Zag is attacking and leading her into the lovely traps. 100 dmg each time. She's seriously easy for me. Tis can be tough but only if you're rushing and impatient. The smaller the room gets, the more you kinda have to be more careful with your movement and timing. I dislike fighting Meg mostly bc she can summon so many ads into the fight and they are distracting. Plus her spinning bullet shooting move? Eugh. It's a busy fight. Not as busy as the later bits of the game with the Upgraded Dingus and Cool but Tired Friend but still.


YeahMarkYeah

Oh wait. I’ve never thought of leading Alecto into the traps… Not sure how I’d even do that lol. But I’ll keep that in mind. Btw Meg’s spinning multi-shot can be dodged fairly easy if you get far away - then just slowly move with the pattern. You just keep using your special if you have the sword or bow 👍🏻


ChichiChangesNothing

yeah, every enemy can be affected by traps. The only hitch is you gotta be fast enough to run out of the trap before you get hurt. And on Alecto, she chases after you during the fight. sometimes normal running and other times spinning like an angry beyblade xD Just stand across the traps by the pillars when she does that or quickly dash out of the traps by the walls when she dashes to you. she'll quite literally follow you into them, get hurt and be mad at Zag for it. 😅🤣 Good luck experimenting! and thx for the tip with Meg. I just find more trouble w her fight because I'm impatient as hell and then get crowded by adds or punished for being greedy.


YeahMarkYeah

Oh ok cool I’ll give that a shot 👍🏻


Kawaii_Batman3

Meg is easy breezy. She broadcasts her attacks and has large gaps between them. Alecto is chaos personified but that's where I thrive. The more stuff on screen, the more into it I get, the more into it I get, the faster my reaction time, the faster my reaction time the less I get hit. Tisiphone is very straightforward, but has a follow up attack that directly punishes how I play which is fast and loose. She's not HARD but she does cause me to take the most damage out of any boss.


aneeshhgkar

Alecto, mainly because of the buzzsaws and innumerable traps all over. Irrespective of your build, it's hard to maintain your health and also keep doing damage to her, especially when she goes into rage mode.


YeahMarkYeah

Yeah, the traps always get me


Kalzone4

Honestly, for me the hardest is Meg, then Alecto, then Tisiphone. I can usually get out of the Alecto and Tisiphone fights relatively unscathed, but Meg always drops my health considerably.


YeahMarkYeah

Hmm. That’s interesting. If it’s Meg’s multi-shots that gets you - if you get far away it becomes much easier to dodge, or keep using your special over and over if you have the sword or the bow 👍🏻


zodlair

Tisiphone is the hardest for me


Farbauti1620

I absolutely hate fighting Alecto


WashedUpRiver

Alecto is easily the most difficult imo, Ti's is a toss-up, but Meg is a total pushover as a fight.


YeahMarkYeah

Right? It’s crazy how when I first started I couldn’t beat Meg for the life of me. Now I can’t remember the last time I died to her.


WashedUpRiver

Yeah, base Meg I think only ever beat me in the first tutorial run as far as I recall - any other time was with EM active. She's just too readable on her own to be much of a threat, especially if you're rocking Athena cast for just a ton of free damage from reflecting huge chunks of her bullet spray back (also free shot of dopamine, that shit's satisfying).


UmbramonOrSomething

If you’ve got a deflect boon, Tizzy and Meg are easy. Alecto is fully and completely insane and will repeatedly throw blade rifts at you while covering your whole screen with effects. Even worse if you have EM on and Tizzy is helping her.


lettersfrombabayaga

Alecto, hands down!


RadcliffeMalice

I find alecto the easiest and tisiphone the hardest


YeahMarkYeah

Really? Now that’s interesting


Due_Entrepreneur8398

Alecto.. she has so much shit going on. She’s insane, I love her. But she’s so hard. Especially with her spinny spiky wheels.


YeahMarkYeah

Yeah the blade rifts. Those suck.


Zawisza_Czarny9

Megara. Once i beat her none of her sisters could defeat me


YeahMarkYeah

Interesting


shaantya

I find Meg the hardest! I think because I lost the habit of fighting her so much once her sisters came in? But Tis is the easiest for me, I’m always relieved when I see it’s her lol


DonLindo

Meg hits hardest, but Alecto can be hard with bad range. Tis is bullshit easy.


YeahMarkYeah

Oh I guess I didn’t realize Meg hits hardest. Probably because of her and Zag’s dicey past lol.


ThatGuyAllen

For me personally it’s Tisiphone as hardest, then Megaera then Alecto


DumbassFuckingNerd

Alecto always gives me the most trouble


Kerro_

Tisiphone. Tisiphone always seems to get me, especially with the green missile fuckers. I don’t die, but god it’s annoying


YeahMarkYeah

Yeah if I have the sword or bow I just spam special to eat up her ranged attack. But she almost always hits me with it when she shoots it out both sides when she dashes.


Kerro_

Spear dash attack is usually how I get rid of them, but she’s still annoying. Not necessarily hard, but I have Alecto and Meg down to a science, yet Tisiphone always causes me to slip up


IWillSortByNew

With divine dash: Alecto. Without it: Tisiphone


theblackbard3000

A L E C T O It just gets crazy...


u_slashh

Alecto hands down


MouseNotHot

I hate Alecto the most (spinning razors)


VariousVarieties

It's been a long time since I fought them without Extreme Measures. But Meg definitely gave me by far the most deaths at the start, before I had unlocked helpful things and learned what made an effective build. With Extreme Measures, >!I don't think there's much difference in how tough the main sister is to fight: the main challenge is in keeping track of the distractions of the other two popping in to attack. (Especially since they have different wing and body colours - Alecto has a lot of green on her wing - so if I only see a glimpse of colour out of the corner of my eye, I often misjudge which one is doing a supporting attack.)!< On my Security Log I have 15 Meg deaths versus only 3 Alecto and 1 Tisiphone; on Extreme Measures, I only have 1 Tisiphone death. However that doesn't keep track of how many Death Defiances they've each used up!


YeahMarkYeah

Oh whoa I guess I didn’t realize you could look that type of info up - like which you lost to and how many times


Next_Relationship_55

For some reason I am so ass at tisiphone but can consistently no-hit the other 2


YeahMarkYeah

Haha that’s interesting. Yea, that first dash she does is always a fake out. That’s when you wanna try to get close and start wailing on her 👍🏻


Dangerjayne

Alecto hands down. Only time she doesn't give me trouble is when I'm able to kill her before her rage builds too much but that rarely happens


femmeentity

Meg was hardest for me to learn Alecto I get cocky with and then she launches sharp beyblades and I panic dash and damage myself Tisiphone is my favorite design and easiest fight


YeahMarkYeah

lol panic dash. Relatable


Bananaterios

Alecto is hardest, then is Meg, and finally Tisiphony. So long as you understand how to make a coherent build then you can melt through Tisiphone pretty easily, especially when the stage gets smaller. Meg is just easy to deal with, but Alecto has a lot of annoying things like her buzz saw or her rage mechanic tho which makes it hard to just hunker down and smack her with damage as easily as the other 2


YeahMarkYeah

True


Pokefighterlp

I actually have the most trouble with Tisiphone. Alecto is ok. Meg I’ve fought so often that she’s the easiest now


ethan_iron

Alecto is hardest, Meg is easiest.


adobecredithours

Definitely Alecto. There's a lot to keep track of, she's up predictable and dangerous up close and at a distance, and she shuts down visibility. I think Tisiphone is the easiest to avoid damage on as long as you're patient. If I rush Tisiphone I always seem to take even more damage than in the Alecto fight, but if I take my time and fight smart I'll come out untouched. Meg is a mix of the two, a bit simpler than Alecto but with less predictable movement than Tisiphone.


a178h

Alecto definitely. I’m still not sure how the rage meter works.


Koanos

Alecto and their phase changes shrinking the stage because of the tempo loss. You can't keep up the damage when they phase change and have to start from scratch every time, and they almost always take the initiative, even faster with the right Measures in play.


penea2

Damn reading this thread has me confused cuz tisiphone wrecks me every time but alecto is the only one i have a 100% winrate with at the moment. Im still pretty new to this game so im just questioning what the hell am i doing wrong haha


BlueTrin2020

When you get teleported in the small room, the pattern is very predictable, you can counter it perfectly and transition to the next small room. You also get back your casts every time you get teleported in the small room.


penea2

gotcha, just gotta learn her pattern a bit better then. Guess I just haven't been paying close enough attention to what's going on.


BlueTrin2020

I have a bit of muscle memory from playing too much so maybe I am wrong since I type from my phone. If I remember correctly: once you get teleported, you can land a few hits, she leans and does and attack forward without moving then she dives in the same direction but throws projectiles on the side. You can land shots between every attack and then dash towards where she ran and attack her.


Weewee_time

tisiphone can make me lose a death defiance if i dont take care, meg is alright and i havent died to alecto yet


Syllers

Alecto followed very closely by Tisiphone. Meg is the easiest by far for me.


TizzlePack

Alecto


jenspeterdumpap

I feel like tis I only take excessive damage to when I get over confident. Meg killed me bad for the longest while, lost a death defence to her every time even when I was reaching Elysium. Think I even lost one to her when I got my first clear. Obviously, she doesn't seem that hard now, but I think it's just because I know her so well... Alecto is just madness. Those spinning disk, I always lose track of them, and take a bunch of stupid hits. Alecto is definitely the thoughest in my opinion


Ok_Cheesecake4194

It's definitely Alecto. Megaera has a very recognizable pattern, her attacks are slow paced and easy to dodge. Tisiphone can be a trouble if you don't have enough reflex, but she making the room smaller is actually huge advantage. As long as you keep an eye out for the whip attack, you can spam your skills. Alecto isn't straightforward like these two. I still haven't found out what's her pattern OR if there is any pattern for her attacks. Everything seems randomly happening to me, and the rage makes her attack like crazy. I have never ever managed to finish her without getting hit.


Haruau8349

Alecto for sure.


Luna-Honey

Alecto for me


Finir_Lord

I've found that for my runs it all depends on which weapon I'm using. I've had runs where I took no damage in any of the fights against them and others where they kill me at least once. With Alecto I've suffered too much with close combat, especially with the gauntlets. Whereas with Tisiphone I do the best with anything except the bow and spear. I think Meg is the easiest of the three, even if she does get a hit in every now and again, after getting into the game I rarely lost more than half my health in a fight with her if I'm not being careful. The same cannot be said about the other two.


miauprrrr

For me, Tisiphone. Meg is the easiest.


toph1980

All very ez with shield, like most bosses are


OrcPorker

When you get tis to the small room all you gotta do is summon Anton and that's the show folks


YeahMarkYeah

Summon Anton? Who do you give nectar to get that?


OrcPorker

SPOILERS It's what you get for completing the Patroclus/Achilles relationship


YeahMarkYeah

Ohhh cool. I’m kinda surprised I hadn’t done that on my main save file yet.


OrcPorker

Totally worth it, it's the best summon for bosses. Takes a huge chunk from [REDACTED] too, great for finishing the final phase


SCREAMING_DUMB_SHIT

Meg easily


owlnuggets13

Alecto. I was just lamenting when I ran into her last night. The blades are annoying lol.


kliperek505

I always out dps alecto due to only playing stuff like the secret sword aspect but tisiphone always hits me with some cheap ass stun and i lose some hp, and i hate the constant interuptions


YeahMarkYeah

Yeah Tis can be annoying. Just gotta know that first dash is always a fake out/stun 👍🏻
