I got all the way through Chronos's first phase without dying a single time

I had 3 Death Defiances

and I kept dying to his stupid fucking "you insta-die if you're not standing on the right clock position" thing

has had a SLIVER of a health bar left

like the TINIEST BIT I STG

and I was wailing on him hoping to finish him off before his next "you insta-die" went off

you got greedy

idk if I got greedy so much as I wasn't prepared for insta-death attacks

it was my first time getting to his second stage

second time fighting him at all

my build was SO GOOD though

Sister Blades with the boon for +200% backstab damage, rare Zeus attack blessing to inflict his lightning thing with attacks which were going off constantly with the back attack damage, faster attack speed with Hermes,
then both the exploding cast and scorching cast, plus expanding size of the cast from Apollo as well as enemies who die with scorch exploding

all i was doing was casting then attacking until everything everywhere died

plus I had the Chaos boon of an extra +9 healing between rooms, the Selene special of healing, and some boons that were getting healed from being attacked, taking less damage altogether, and extra health

so I never suffered from spiraling health during the run

walked into just about every fight fresh

I lost a recent run in the second phase because two fucking Tempuses died right on top of the safe zone on the instagib attack
