Standing in the open
The biggest error is attacking while rooted in place. Enemies aim where you stand, so a still target gets hit.
Keep moving between swings. A dashing attacker is far harder to pin than one planting feet.
Greedy multi-hits
Players chain attacks into a boss recovery and get caught by the next phase. Commit to one swing, then reposition.
One clean hit beats three interrupted ones. The dash and positioning page builds the habit.
Ignoring the build
A third mistake is grabbing boons with no plan. Unrelated picks leave you with no real synergy by the boss.
Plan the god chain before the run. The boon priorities page gives the order to follow.
Next: Maxing out a build.
Frequently asked questions
What is the most common Hades mistake?
Over-reaching with the attack and standing in the open. Players swing, whiff, and eat the counter because they forgot to keep moving.
How do I stop dying so much?
Slow your inputs and dash on every tell. Most deaths are mistimed commits, not weak builds, so movement fixes more than gear.
Why do I keep losing runs in Hades?
Most Hades losses come from mistimed dashes and greedy swings. Slow your inputs, dash on every tell, and the same build carries further.
What is the biggest beginner mistake in Hades?
Attacking while standing still is the biggest one. Enemies aim where you stand, so a rooted target takes every hit.
