Nice! I successfully got back-to-back spear and sword escapes yesterday, now it's just the bow that's left for me.
With the Chiron bow, I'm thinking Ares on attack to start since Doom is basically free damage there. Maybe Dionysis or Demeter on special? I'll try some things today.
Does anyone have a strong opinion about whether Privileged Status or Family Favorite is better? I've been using Family Favorite, but now that I have a slightly better understanding of what makes an effective build I'm wondering if I should switch.
-Ares works on the bow attack for Chiron, definitely, since your normal rhythm is attack-special-special so it has plenty of time to go off (even with the longer-trigger boon). Aphrodite is another strong choice to keep weakness (and damage vulnerability, if you can get it) on.
-Dionysus would be wasted on the special (except maaaybe at the aspect's lowest level, which I realize now is what you'd be using). But it only stacks to 5, and even with the lowest number of arrows you'll probably want to land at least two volleys between each attack, so some of those arrows would trigger no boon bonus. This gets more pronounced the higher you level Chiron. Do not recommend. Zeus is another that I don't recommend; the bolts on lightning flourish are limited per target (no more than one per target every .2 seconds I believe), so you'll trigger a bolt on no more than one or two arrows per volley. Big waste of potential.
-Demeter and Artemis are my two favorites for the Chiron special. Demeter has high attack and frost stacks high; Artemis gets a lot of damage-boosted crits. Aphrodite is a close third; her special doesn't stack, but her modifier is as strong as Demeter's - slightly stronger? I forget - and weak is
always good. Plus if you get the "extra damage to weakened enemies" boon, it basically increases all but one of those very many arrows by x% as well.
-(Another remote, less-key thing to think of is that Aphrodite is the best of those three to use on a non-homing special attack, since it applies the curse equally to all instead of Demeter's 1 stack, or Aphrodite's single hit. ALSO, Ares on attack + Aphrodite on special makes available the duo boon that weakened enemies continually tick Doom damage, which isn't just good single-target, but can be very good to spread to many enemies at once with a non-homing special shot. The duo boons for Ares and Artemis or Demeter both work off the blade rift cast instead of Doom. But none of that is as important as having a powerful boon on special to tear enemies up.)
