Q & A

What is the Hyperion and why is it considered one of the best weapons in the game?

The Hyperion is a powerful mage weapon in the game that uses Mana to deal explosive damage. It is considered one of the best weapons due to its high base stats and versatility in dealing with enemies, especially when paired with the right setup and enchantments.

Why is Chimera 5 considered a niche enchantment for the Hyperion?

Chimera 5 increases the Hyperion's base damage, but it also doubles the Mana cost, making it less effective for most players. It's mainly useful in specific high-level content like Master Mode Floor 7, where maximizing damage is crucial and the player can handle the increased Mana drain.

What are some key pieces of equipment that help optimize the Hyperion?

Important pieces of equipment include the Implosion Belt, which boosts explosion damage, and the Go of Contagion, which causes enemies to explode upon death. Both items enhance the explosive damage from the Hyperion's abilities. Additionally, Mana pool and Mana regeneration equipment are essential to maximize the Hyperion's effectiveness.

What is the purpose of the Implosion Belt in a Hyperion setup?

The Implosion Belt increases explosion damage by 25%, which directly boosts the damage from the Hyperion’s explosive abilities, such as those triggered when right-clicking with the weapon. Without it, you would miss out on a significant damage increase.

How should a Hyperion user reforge their armor for optimal performance?

To optimize armor for Hyperion use, players should focus on Mage Armor and reforge their gear with Wisdom to boost intelligence. This will increase Mana and Mana regeneration. Armor should ideally include Storm chestplate, leggings, and boots, along with Wither Goggles for enhanced defense and Mana management.

What is the best pet to use with a Hyperion for different playstyles?

The choice of pet depends on whether you need more damage or Mana. A Golden Dragon is excellent for increasing damage, while a Sheep pet is ideal for boosting intelligence, helping with Mana regeneration. The pet choice varies based on whether you need a damage boost or more Mana efficiency.

What are the differences between the Hyperion, Sila, and Austral weapons?

The Hyperion is a pure mage weapon with a focus on intelligence and Mana, while the Sila and Austral are hybrids that offer more balanced stats. The Sila provides a balance between melee and mage abilities, while the Austral offers better survivability for players who don’t need as much intelligence.

Why are Scrolls essential for a Hyperion to perform optimally?

The Scrolls—Warp, Implosion, and Shield—are essential because they enhance the Hyperion's abilities. Warp provides the Aspect of the Void, Implosion boosts explosion damage, and Shield offers damage reduction. These combined abilities make the Hyperion much stronger in high-level content.

How does the Ultimate Wise enchantment benefit a Hyperion?

Ultimate Wise reduces the Mana cost of abilities, making the Hyperion more efficient by lowering its Mana usage. This enchantment is ideal for maximizing the Hyperion’s effectiveness in most scenarios, as it allows players to cast more abilities without draining their Mana quickly.

What is the role of Magical Power in optimizing a Hyperion setup?

Magical Power increases the effectiveness of Power Stones, which boost intelligence and ability damage. The more magical power you have, the better your Power Stones perform, leading to higher damage output and more efficient Mana usage.
