What are your favorite aspect + boon combo for fun/so far (lemmy.zip)

I've been enjoying using the hidden sword aspect coupled with Aphrodite or Artemis on attack for big numbers. Even though it's slow and a little clunky it's still surprisingly satisfying to use. Other fun ones are Zeus on fists or Poseidon dash/cast + anything for the speed they can clear rooms at (especially tidal dash in final biome). What are your favorites?

I had a run with the ff. on Beowulf Shield

Deadly Strike
Thunder Flourish
Trippy Flare
Tidal Dash
Poseidon's Aid

This gave me the ff. Duos

Scintillating Feast
Mirage Shot
Lightning Rod
Didn't get Sea Storm, unfortunately

And I also got the ff. Legendaries

Fully Loaded
Splitting Bolt
Second Wave

I got all lightning bolt-related Zeus boons plus Static Discharge and two additional Chaos casts.

I had 7 cast stones by the end. EM4 boss melted from 14x Trippy Flare damage per fully loaded shot, Scintillating Feast bolts after, and 1500 per second Lightning Rod damage when I wasn't quick enough to pick the cast stones up.

By the third phase, I didn't even bother picking them up and let them do the work.

This was probably the strongest build I chanced upon and is always the one I'm trying to go for in my shield runs. More recently I've tweaked it to:

Tidal Flourish
Thunder Dash
Dionysus Aid

just to open up the chance to get Blackout. The dream is to get the 4 core legendaries.
