Demeter/Boons (Hades II)

Demeter boons revolve around in applying her Status Curse Freeze which causes afflicted enemies to stop for 2 seconds. Additionally, Demeter can also apply a second Status Curse called Gust that makes enemies 20% slower and their ranged shots 60% slower. Demeter's elemental affinity is Earth, Water, and Aether for her Duo Boons.

“	"She controls the very cycle of life and death; of abundance and decay." "With the turning of the seasons can come hope and renewal, or desolation beyond words." "The mistress of seasons holds sway over everything between heaven and earth."	„
