Hades Wiki

Hestia's boom revolve around inflicting Scorch, which causes foes to take damage from every 1 second. Hestia's elemental affinity is Fire Fire, and Aether Aether for her Duo Boons.

ā€œ "The eldest, most reclusive olympian has fire in her heart."
"From the comfort of the hearth, to the rage of an inferno."

"Her flames bring quaint comfort, or ruinous destruction."

Scorch
Curse: Afflicted foes take 100 damage accrued from this every 1 Sec.
One of the following:
  • Flame Strike, Flame Flourish, or Smolder Ring
Pyro Technique Fire
Your Scorch effects deal damage faster.
ā–ø Scorch Damage Rate: +50%/+75%/+100%/+125%
Scorch
Curse: Afflicted foes take 100 damage accrued from this every 1 Sec.


Scorch deals 13.3 damage, applied 6 times per second (every 0.16 Sec.), resulting in 80 damage per second.

  • It is affected by global damage increase effects, which scale the base damage.
  • Unlike most damage sources, Scorch cannot deal Critical damage, is not Olympian Damage, and not affected by Ares' Grievous Blow and Mutual Destruction.


Pyro Technique accelerates the tick rate of Scorch, causing it to apply damage more rapidly without changing its base damage per tick. This results in Scorch expiring faster, but still benefits from global damage scaling, making it effective when paired with boons or upgrades that increase overall damage.

  • However, this creates an anti-synergy with Air Quality, which overrides the base damage of Scorch (from 13.3 to 30). Since Pyro Technique shortens Scorch’s duration, and Air Quality's flat 30 damage per tick cannot be scaled by global damage modifiers, the total Scorch damage dealt is often lower when both boons are combined.
One of the following:
  • Flame Strike, Flame Flourish, or Smolder Ring
Snuffed Candle Fire
You deal more damage to foes that are nowhere near other foes.
ā–ø Damage to Isolated Foes: +15%/+18%/+21%/+24%

ā–ø Power per Fire Boon: +2
Infusion 2 Fire
Fire Away Fire

  • Smolder Ring
  • Flash Fry, Hot Pot, Pyro Technique, or Highly Flammable

Duo (Zeus) Scorch
Curse: Afflicted foes take 100 damage accrued from this every 1 Sec.

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.
One of each:
  • Flame Strike, Flame Flourish, or Smolder Ring
  • Zeus: Heaven Strike or Heaven Flourish

Scalding Vapor Aether
If foes with Froth are struck by your fire effects from Hestia, they are engulfed in Steam.

Steam counts as Olympian Damage
Duo (Poseidon) Froth
Curse: When hit, afflicted foes have 25% chance to take 50 damage. Lasts 3 Sec.


Steam
A burning cloud that removes Froth from foes and rapidly deals damage. Lasts 2 Sec.

  • Hestia's fire includes most of her fire-based abilities, such as Scorch, Controlled Burn, Glowing Coal, and Fire Walk (excluding Flash Fry).
  • Although the description states Steam deals 30 damage, it actually deals only 25 damage per tick.
  • Steam hits 9 times by default, unless the duration is refreshed.
  • Steam duration can be reset by reapplying Froth to an enemy already affected by Hestia’s fire.
  • Although it functions similarly to Scorch as a damage-over-time effect, Steam can deal Critical hits.


Currently Bugged: Steam does not stack when Scalding Vapor is re-triggered on an enemy already under its effect.
One of each:
  • Flame Strike, Flame Flourish, Smolder Ring, Highly Flammable, Controlled Burn, or Glowing Coal

Freezer Burn Aether
Whenever you inflict Freeze on a foe with Scorch, deal damage and remove Scorch.
ā–ø Damage from Scorch: 200%
Duo (Demeter) Freeze
Curse: Afflicted foes are stopped for 2 Sec. Can be reapplied after 10 Sec.
  • Most enemies are completely immobilized under the Freeze effect. However, Guardians and Wardens with Guardian-style encounters have their animations slowed by 50% instead.


Scorch
Curse: Afflicted foes take 100 damage accrued from this every 1 Sec.

Once Freezer Burn is triggered, enemies cannot apply Scorch during the Freeze effect. There is also a 10-second cooldown before Freeze can be reapplied, unless reset by Room Temperature.

  • Cold Storage counteracts Freezer Burn, as it prevents the reapplication of Scorch for an extended duration, instead of the default 2 seconds.
One of each:
  • Flame Strike, Flame Flourish, or Smolder Ring
  • Demeter: Ice Strike, Ice Flourish, or Arctic Ring
Warm Breeze Aether
Whenever you Dodge or Daze causes a foe to miss, restore some Health.

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:
  • Flame Strike, Flame Flourish, or Smolder Ring
  • Aphrodite: Rapture Ring, Passion Rush, or Glamour Gain

Chain Reaction Aether
