One of these Boons: ・Wave Strike ・Wave Flourish One of these Boons: ・Slippery Slope One of these Boons: ・Crashing Wave |
To meet the requirements for Poseidon's Legendary Boon, we recommend getting Wave Strike first, then Slippery Slope, into a Crashing Wave boon.
This boon build path offers the best synergy leading up to King Tide, dealing high splash damage against all types of enemies. The Slip Curse combined with King Tide should make it easier for your Attacks to defeat guardians due to the compounding bonus damage.

Vivid Sea | A Boon of Poseidon is likely. You can Rarify his Rare blessings once this night. |
Vivid Sea | A Boon of Poseidon is likely. You can Rarify his Epic blessings once this night. |
At the first instance that you give an offering of Nectar to Poseidon, you'll receive the Vivid Sea Keepsake in return.
You can equip this keepsake by the Silver Pool before every night to increase chances to receive Boons from Poseidon, as well as an option to rarify his boons.

Poseidon's Boons are characterized by dealing more damage while keeping enemies at a safer distance, much how like you can imagine Poseidon fighting with a Trident. This can translate to your own playstyle by keeping enemies at medium range while continuously attacking them.
Alternatively you can also use Poseidon's Sprint Boon to charge at foes dealing damage with every impact. This could pair well with Demeter's Freeze or Hestia's Scorch.
Poseidon's Boons excel when paired with Demeter's boons that temporarily stun and freeze an enemy letting you deal even more damage. This can also go well with Hestia's Scorch as it deals damage over time giving you the tactical advantage.
Slip | Curse: Afflicted foes take more damage and are knocked farther away. Lasts 3 Sec. |
---|
Slip, the curse tied to Poseidon, helps you deal more damage against enemies. This will pair well with weapons that are quicker but deal less damage like the Sister Blades.
