To meet the requirements for Hestia's Legendary Boon, we recommend getting Smolder Ring first, then Natural Gas, into a Glowing Coal boon.

Playstyle

Hestia's Boons specialize stacking a status effect that deals damage over time. Some of her Boons are double-edged as they provide buffs along with varying negative effects.

Synergies

The stacking DoT (damage over time) from Scorch works well with weapons that can hit enemies quickly and consistently like Sister Blades and Umbral Flames.

As for other Boons, Demeter's Freeze effects can help stack Scorch safely or increase their damage with Poseidon's Slip curse. The damage over time from Scorch can also pop Zeus' Blitz effect even if you stop attacking directly.

Hestia Curse and Effects

Afflicts the Scorch Curse

Attacks empowered with Hestia's Scorch continuously burns and damages affected enemies by a fixed value of 40 per second. The Scorch damage that your imbued attacks deal is actually the value they add to the Scorch stacks.

For example, if your Common Flame Strike that deals 20 Scorch damage hits an enemy 5 times for a total of 100 Scorch damage, the enemy will receive 80 damage over 2 seconds and 20 damage for the last 0.5 seconds.

A portion of the afflicted enemy's health bar will be highlighted to indicate how much of it will be burned away by Scorch over time.
