Boons

To see a full list of Aphrodite's Boons, See our Wiki

Aphrodite's Cast and Gain Boons inflict Weak on enemies. You can even further increase damage reduction of Weak with Broken Resolve.

Speaking of Weak, Rapture Ring inflicts the curse, but its true power lies in its crowd control effect. Dragging foes together into the center of you Cast is an unbelievably strong ability. Using her Cast is one of the easiest ways to take out groups of foes no matter what weapon you're using.

She also has the highest Dodge chance potential of any God because her Infusion Boon Wispy Wiles adds +3% Dodge chance for every single Air Elemental Boon you have in your build.

Glamour Gain refills Magick a bit slow for many Aspects, but you get the benefit of all nearby enemies being automatically afflicted by Weak.

Flutter Strike and Flutter Flourish are the highest percentage damage modifiers in the whole game, so if you're wanting raw damage, she's a great choice.

Nervous Wreck is also one of the best Legendary Boons of all the Gods. Doesn't Matter what Gods you have in your build if you are inflicting every possible curse!

Weapon Aspect Synergies

Best Weapons to pair with Aphrodite:

  • Aspect of Melinoë, Flutter Flourish maximizes Special Power potential, but Aphro on Attack or Cast works great as well.
  • Aspect of Thanatos, Flutter Strike on Standard and Omega Attacks chops through foes.
  • Aspect of Melinoë Attack/Special are excellent for the critical damage, and Heart Breaker good for Omega's and close range Specials.
  • Aspect of Melinoë, the increased base Power of your Attack makes Flutter Strike the best Attack Boon for this Weapon.
  • Aspect of Artemis is always close-ranged, and the a Crit hit Omega Flutter Strike is huge damage.

God Pairings

The best Gods to pair with Aphrodite are:

  • Hestia to combine Glamour Gain with Scorch and get their Duo Boon Burning Desire. The game practically plays itself once you get this powerful Duo.
  • Zeus to put Blitz on the open Attack/Special slot, and start playing around Romantic Spark. Moreover, He has a lot of Air Element Boons to stack up Wispy Wiles Dodge Chance, and to activate his infusion Boon, Air Quality.
  • Apollo to further bolster your defense. Add Daze for more chances to take no damage, and Sunny Disposition if you're using a lot of Omega Moves.

When to Target Aphrodite

Look for Aphrodite when you want to maximize damage % boost. Although her Attack/Special don't inflict any Curses, she trades that for insane damage. A Heroic Flutter Flourish deals +250% damage, making it the highest damage boost in the game; even higher than critical damage.

You should also target Aphrodite every single time you have scorch in your build.

No matter your playstyle, her defensive prowess from Weak, CC Cast, Dodge (Wispy Wiles), Spiritual Affirmation & Healthy Rebound will make surviving the night that much easier!
