For all my hours spent climbing out of the underworld in Hades and runs ended by the hands of Hades himself, one ability in Zagreus’s arsenal I’ve never found much use for is his cast. It sends out a red projectile to damage and lodge in an enemy, which grants the enemy a status effect, like slowing it down. Boons can enhance or change the cast, like one that turned it into a chain lightning attack, but it’s still a limited-use projectile nonetheless.
