Apollo boons revolve around in increasing the area of effect of your attacks. Additionally, Apollo has boons that can grant his Status Curse Daze which causes afflicted enemies to have a 20% chance of dealing no damage. Apollo's elemental affinity is Air, Fire, and Aether for his Duo Boons.

Solar Ring Your Casts inflict Daze, and deal a burst of damage before they expire. ▸ Cast Damage: 60/90/120/150 Solar Ring counts as Olympian Damage	Cast	Daze: Curse: Afflicted foes have 20% chance to deal no damage. Lasts 9 Sec. This boon benefits from Hermes' Winner's Circle, which accelerates the Casts' duration and allows the burst damage to be reapplied more quickly. Currently Bugged: The burst damage of Solar Ring is not affected by any Cast damage increase boons or upgrades, such as Arachne's Scarlet Dress and Chaos's Chasm.	None
Blinding Rush Your Sprint is faster and inflicts Daze on surrounding foes. ▸ Sprint Speed: +15%/+20%/+25%/+30%	Sprint	Daze: Curse: Afflicted foes have 20% chance to deal no damage. Lasts 9 Sec.	None
Lucid Gain If you stand in your Casts when they expire, immediately restore . ▸ Magick Restored: 50/75/100/125	Magick	Casts are considered expired when: A Cast naturally disappears, or an Ω Cast naturally detonates after 3 sec. 6 sec. with Aspect of Charon 1.5/1.33/1.2/1.09 sec. with Hermes' Winner's Circle 3/2.4/2/1.71 sec. with Aspect of Charon + Winner's Circle An Ω Cast detonation effect is triggered (e.g., Aspect of Charon's Cleave-Cast, Aspect of Momus' Pulse Orb). Casts that vanish between enemy waves do not count as expiring, so this boon will not activate in those cases.	None
Light Smite After you take damage, your foe takes damage and you inflict Daze on all foes in the vicinity. ▸ Revenge Damage: 50/75/100/125 Light Smite counts as Olympian Damage		Daze: Curse: Afflicted foes have 20% chance to deal no damage. Lasts 9 Sec. Each burst has an individual hitbox, allowing it to deal splash damage and inflict high damage to grouped enemies.	None
Perfect Image You deal more damage until you take damage. If you take no more for 15 Sec., regain this. ▸ No-Hit Bonus Damage: +10%/+15%/+20%/+25%			None

Back Burner Foes with Daze take more damage if struck from behind. ▸ Backstab Damage: +50%/+75%/+100%/+125%		Daze: Curse: Afflicted foes have 20% chance to deal no damage. Lasts 9 Sec. Currently Bugged: This boon causes Hephaestus's Blast effects to always deal Backstab damage to foes with Daze, regardless of the direction of the attack. Back Burner’s additional damage is also applied to these blasts. It does not apply to the additional blasts generated by Grand Caldera.	One of the following: Solar Ring, Blinding Rush, Dazzling Display, or Light Smite
Prominence Flare After your Ω Cast expires, rapidly deal damage in the area for 2 Sec. ▸ Omega Cast Damage (every 0.13 Sec.): 10/12/14/16 Prominence Flare counts as Olympian Damage		Cannot be combined with Geyser Spout Cannot be combined with Meat Grinder Prominence Flare damage counts as Ω Cast damage. This allows it to benefit from Casts and Ω Move damage increase boons or upgrades such as: Aspect of Persephone (Prominence Flare damage contributes to its Sprouted ability) Arachne's Scarlet Dress Chaos's Chasm and Chant Demeter's Local Climate Hostile Environment (note: the cast-follow effect does not apply to Prominence Flare) The size of Prominence Flare scales with your Ω Cast's size just before it expires. This can be increased by: Super Nova Aspect of Charon's Cleave-Cast Prominence Flare prevents the use of Casts while active, which may create an anti-synergy with Cast-focused builds, such as: Any Ring boon that deals single-hit damage and needs to be quickly reapplied to maximize damage output (e.g., Tidal Ring, Solar Ring, Engagement Ring, and Sword Ring) Aspect of Charon combined with Giga Cleaver and/or Exceptional Talent Prominence Flare benefits from the Ω Cast detonation effect (e.g., Aspect of Charon's Cleave-Cast, Hermes' Winner's Circle). The faster the Ω Cast detonates, the sooner Prominence Flare activates. Unlike other Ω Cast-related boons, Aspect of Momus's Pulse Orb does not trigger Prominence Flare. Prominence Flare does not cause hitstun, and since the Cast's binding effect has already expired, moving or unstaggered enemies may evade the Flare entirely.	Any Ring Boon.
Super Nova Your Casts expand in size until they expire. ▸ Max Cast Size: 40%/50%/60%/70%		This boon does not benefit from Hermes' Winner's Circle, as Casts expire during the expansion process, preventing them from fully reaching the increased size from Super Nova.	None
Extra Dose Your Attack has a chance to hit 2 times. ▸ Double Strike Chance: +5%/+8%/+10%/+13%		The extra hit from Extra Dose is treated as a full Attack, rather than simply doubling the damage. This means it can trigger any effects that activate on Attack, such as Zeus's Static Shock, Hestia's Cardio Gain, Aspect of Circe, Mirrored Thrasher , and Dashing Heave .	Any Strike Boon.
Self Healing While you have at least 3 , whenever you take damage, restore some . ▸ Damage Recovered (over 5 Sec.): 30%	Infusion	Gods offering Boons: Apollo, Hestia, Hephaestus, Hermes Self Healing activates whenever you take damage, gradually restoring +1 every 5 seconds, up to 30% of the damage taken from that hit. Taking additional damage resets the 5-second healing window. Currently Bugged: The effect of Self Healing currently registers loss—not just damage—as qualifying damage. As a result, losing or depleting will still trigger the effect, even if no actual was lost. This creates synergy with any source of regenerating , such as Trusty Shield or Silken Sash. Self Healing bypasses the effects of Vow of Scars and functions at full capacity. Self Healing also applies to summoned units from Night Bloom and Sun Worshiper, healing rapidly without applying the 5-second window.	2
Exceptional Talent Your Ω Attack and Ω Special fire 2 times, but use more . ▸ Omega Move Cost: +20	Legendary	Exceptional Talent affects the Moonstone Axe’s Ω Attack differently from other weapons’ Ω Moves, as it doubles the duration instead of increasing the hit rate. However, with the Psychic Whirlwind , Exceptional Talent instead doubles the hit rate while keeping the original duration. Currently Bugged: Exceptional Talent does not affect the Argent Skull's Ω Special.	One of each: Nova Strike or Nova Flourish Solar Ring, Blinding Rush, or Lucid Gain Extra Dose, Super Nova, Back Burner, or Prominence Flare
Glorious Disaster You can channel +30 into your Ω Cast to repeatedly strike foes with lightning bolts. ▸ Bolt Damage (every 0.13 Sec.): 20 Lightning Bolts from Glorious Disaster count as Olympian Damage	Duo (Zeus)	Glorious Disaster synergizes well with: Cleave-Cast from the Aspect of Charon – triggers the Glorious Disaster effect without requiring additional channeling. Hermes' Winner's Circle – accelerates Ω Cast duration and channeling speed, allowing Glorious Disaster to activate more quickly. Winner’s Circle does not affect the duration or hit rate of Glorious Disaster's flare or lightning bolts. If Prominence Flare is purged via the Pool of Purging, Glorious Disaster becomes fully disabled. Ω Cast will not trigger its lightning effects until Prominence Flare is reacquired. Both the flare and lightning bolt effects from Glorious Disaster do not cause hitstun, and since the Cast's binding effect has already expired, moving or unstaggered enemies may evade them entirely.	One of each: Prominence Flare Zeus: Heaven Strike, Heaven Flourish, Storm Ring, or Thunder Rush
Sun Worshiper In each Encounter, the first foe you slay returns to fight for you. ▸ Servant Damage: +200%	Duo (Hera)	The enemy affected by Sun Worshiper shares traits with Night Bloom (80% damage reduction and a colored health bar), allowing both effects to apply simultaneously. This results in the summoning of two enemies to assist in combat. However, they do not share the 200% damage bonus from Sun Worshiper or the Path of Stars upgrades from Night Bloom and act independently. The enemy affected by Sun Worshiper also comes under the effects of Oath of the Unseen before their demise, specifically Vow of Pain, Vow of Grit, and Vow of Frenzy, which significantly amplify their abilities. The enemy affected by Sun Worshiper counteracts with those inflicted with the Charmed status, as Charmed enemies are still considered foes.	One of each: Solar Ring, Blinding Rush, or Lucid Gain Hera: Engagement Ring, Nexus Rush, or Born Gain
Beach Ball Your Sprint creates a watery sphere behind you, which surges ahead once you stop. ▸ Max Blast Damage (after 2 Sec.): 300 Beach Ball counts as Olympian Damage	Duo (Poseidon)	The effect of Beach Ball is not classified as Splash, meaning it does not inflict Slip nor benefits from Splash-related boons.	The following: Blinding Rush (Apollo) or Breaker Rush (Poseidon) One of each: Nova Strike, Nova Flourish, Solar Ring, or Lucid Gain Poseidon: Wave Strike, Wave Flourish, Tidal Ring, or Fluid Gain
Tropical Cyclone While standing in a Gust, you randomly fire gales every 0.3 Sec. ▸ Gale Damage (every 0.5 Sec.): 70 Gust counts as Olympian Damage	Duo (Demeter)	Gust: Curse: Afflicted foes are 20% slower, and their ranged shots 60% slower. Lasts 3 Sec.	One of each: Nova Strike, Nova Flourish, Solar Ring, Blinding Rush, or Lucid Gain Demeter: Frigid Rush or Arctic Gale
Sunny Disposition Whenever you create Heartthrobs, create more. ▸ Bonus Heartthrobs: +2 Heartthrob counts as Olympian Damage	Duo (Aphrodite)	Heartthrob: A vessel that orbits around you and bursts when it hits a foe, or expires after 6 Sec. The maximum amount of Heartthrobs allowed is 6.	One of each: Nova Strike, Nova Flourish, Solar Ring, Blinding Rush, or Lucid Gain Aphrodite: Heart Breaker
Warm Breeze Whenever you Dodge or Daze causes a foe to miss, restore some . ▸ Life Restored per Evasion: 10	Duo (Hestia)	Dodge: Automatically avoid an instance of damage you would have otherwise taken. Daze: Curse: Afflicted foes have 20% chance to deal no damage. Lasts 9 Sec. Warm Breeze is classified as a Healing effect, meaning it benefits from Old Herbal Remedy, and is affected by Vow of Scars.	One of each: Solar Ring, Blinding Rush, Light Smite, or Dazzling Display Hestia: Flame Strike, Flame Flourish, Smolder Ring, Heat Rush, or Cardio Gain
Rude Awakening Your blast effects from Hephaestus clear Daze and deal more damage if they do. ▸ Bonus Blast Damage: 220 Blast counts as Olympian Damage	Duo (Hephaestus)	Daze: Curse: Afflicted foes have 20% chance to deal no damage. Lasts 9 Sec. Rude Awakening typically removes Daze when a blast triggers, causing Origination to apply bonus damage only once—unless additional curses are applied. However, Solar Ring continuously reapplies Daze, making it an ideal synergy, as it keeps Origination active and its bonus damage stacks with The Furies. The initial blast and the additional blasts generated by Grand Caldera benefit from this boon's effect. However, only the initial blast gains the bonus damage from Back Burner, as the additional blasts cannot inflict Backstab damage.	One of each: Solar Ring, Blinding Rush, Light Smite, or Dazzling Display Hephaestus: Volcanic Strike, Volcanic Flourish, or Smithy Rush
Cutting Edge Your falling blades from Ares drop +1 time in succession and deal damage in a larger area. ▸ Blade Area of Effect: +50% Falling Blades count as Olympian Damage	Duo (Ares)		One of each: Nova Strike, Nova Flourish, Solar Ring, Blinding Rush, or Lucid Gain Ares: Sword Ring, Stabbing Rush, or Cut Above
Shared Wealth Gain +90 with which to later pick something you like.		This "Boon" will only show up if you no longer have any boons to pick from a God. This is usually possible while having the Vow of Denial active.	Exhaust all of Apollo's boon selection.
