Boons from HadesBoons from Hades II

Aphrodite boons revolve around in doing Close-Up Damage and applying her Status Curse Weak, which causes afflicted enemies to deal 30% less damage. Additionally, Aphrodite has boons that can heal and increase the max health obtained. Aphrodite's elemental affinity is Air, Water, and Aether for her Duo Boons.

Note, her boons that state Close-Up Damage are very strict on this: they ONLY work on close enemies. The damage boost will not happen at all to enemies hit by an attack at moderate to long range (the effective range is approximately that of standard attacks of the Moonstone Axe).

“	"She instills in mortalkind the longing that inspires them and spurs them to action." "Her power is such that, even in the realm of the dead, a certain beauty thrives." "Mortals can perhaps survive without her power; but without it, cannot truly live."	„

The maximum amount of Heartthrobs allowed is 6. Heart Breaker has no cooldown between activations, allowing it to benefit from weapons with fast-paced Ω Moves, such as Umbral Flames' Ω Attack (excluding the Aspect of Eos). If you spend more than 40 on a single Ω Move, you will only receive 1 Heartthrob instead of the expected additional ones, and any excess usage will not be factored into the next Heartthrob. For example, if you use 80, you will receive only 1 Heartthrob instead of 2.	None

Lasts at least 1 Sec. This boon applies three random status curses from the following Olympians whenever you inflict Weak. These curses can be reapplied once Weak expires: Apollo’s Daze Demeter’s Freeze (2-second duration) Hephaestus’ Vent (deals 300 damage) Poseidon’s Froth Hera’s Hitch Hestia’s Scorch (applies 30 Scorch Damage) Zeus's Blitz (deals 100 damage) Currently, this boon does not apply Demeter’s Gust, Aphrodite’s Charm (as it is exclusive to her duo boon, Ecstatic Obsession), nor does it apply Artemis’ Marked, Dionysus’ Hangover, or Ares’ Wounds. When used with Glamour Gain and Island Getaway, this can create an anti-synergy: while Nervous Wreck inflicts status curses on all enemies as they spawn, those curses will not reapply after their duration ends, since Glamour Gain under the effect of Island Getaway reapplies continuously and never expires.	One of the following: Broken Resolve, Sweet Surrender, Shameless Attitude, or Secret Crush Rapture Ring, Passion Rush, or Glamour Gain Flutter Strike or Flutter Flourish
	Romantic Spark Whenever you Sprint into foes with Blitz, the effect strikes right away for more damage. ▸ Bonus Blitz Damage: +80% Blitz counts as Olympian Damage	Duo (Zeus)	Blitz Curse: Afflicted foes are struck by lightning after they take 120 damage or after 4 Sec. After triggering the Blitz effect, there is a 0.6 second cooldown before the curse can be reapplied. Although the boon description mentions only Sprint, Romantic Spark triggers instant Blitz activation when Dashing, Sprinting, or performing a Dash-Strike. Romantic Spark does not stack with the bonus damage from Arc Flash. If Blitz is triggered simultaneously by both Romantic Spark and Arc Flash, such as when using Ω Sprint from the Aspect of Nyx or dashing while Possessed Array is active, Romantic Spark takes priority, and Blitz will only activate once.	One of each: Flutter Strike, Flutter Flourish, Rapture Ring, Passion Rush, or Glamour Gain Zeus: Heaven Strike or Heaven Flourish
	Ecstatic Obsession As long as multiple foes are in an Encounter, automatically inflict Charm on 1 of them. ▸ Min Foes for Auto-Charm: 2	Duo (Hera)	Charm: Curse: Causes the afflicted foe to turn against your other foes, and deal more damage to them. Enemies inflicted with Charm still count as foes, and may interact with allies affected by Night Bloom or Sun Worshiper. This can create a loop in which "summoned" units (under Night Bloom or Sun Worshiper) and Charmed enemies continuously attack each other.	One of each: Rapture Ring, Passion Rush, or Glamour Gain Hera: Sworn Strike, Sworn Flourish, Engagement Ring, or Nexus Rush.
	Island Getaway You take less damage from nearby foes. Boons of Aphrodite treats all foes as nearby. ▸ Damage Resistance: +15%	Duo (Poseidon)		One of each: Flutter Strike or Flutter Flourish Poseidon: Wave Strike, Wave Flourish, Tidal Ring, Breaker Rush, or Flood Gain
	Hearty Appetite You deal more damage the more you have. ▸ Bonus Damage per 50 Life: +10%	Duo (Demeter)	This boon’s effect scales based on your Max , meaning you will not lose the bonus damage if losing Avoid equipping the White Antler while using Hearty Appetite, as it reduces Max to 30, making this boon ineffective.

Lasts at least 1 Sec. Scorch Curse: Afflicted foes take 100 damage accrued from this every 1 Sec. Burning Desire synergizes with Glamour Gain and Island Getaway. Since Glamour Gain, when empowered by Island Getaway, continuously reapplies Weak across all enemies without expiring, Scorch applied to those foes will also persist indefinitely, regardless of distance or how much Scorch has been stacked.	One of each: Rapture Ring, Passion Rush, or Glamour Gain Hestia: Flame Strike, Flame Flourish, or Smolder Ring
	Love Handles Your blast effects from Hephaestus also create a Heartthrob. ▸ Heartthrob Area Damage: 120 Blast and Heartthrob count as Olympian Damage	Duo (Hephaestus)	Heartthrob: A vessel that orbits around you and bursts when it hits a foe, or expires after 6 Sec.
