The Stygian Blade sword is one of the first weapons Zagreus will unlock in Hades, but it can be drastically upgraded with the right build to complete your runs with flair and ease.

The weapon can be upgraded to the Aspect of Zagreus early in the game, giving you improved attack and movement speed. However, it's not until mid-game that you'll unlock the weapon's full potential and use it to defeat enemies with ease.

Here you'll find everything you need to know about the best build for the Stygian Blade sword, the best aspects to use, and how you can use it to effortlessly defeat your enemies in Hades.

Of the four aspects of the Stygian Blade sword in Hades, I recommend unlocking and upgrading the Aspect of Nemesis for the Stygian Blade. Unlike other weapon upgrades, this Aspect increases your critical chance by up to 30 percent when finally upgraded with Titan Blood.
