I have cleared 32 Fear with every weapon aspect in Hades 2 and about half of those clears were carried by boon combos more than weapon skill. Here is what actually works.
The Zeus + Poseidon Sea Storm Duo clears rooms just by dashing
Poseidon's dash knocks enemies away. The Sea Storm Duo makes every knock-away spawn a lightning bolt that chains. You literally dash through enemies and the room clears itself. It is the most brainless and effective combo in the game.
Demeter + Hestia Freezer Burn melts bosses
Demeter's cast freezes enemies solid. Hestia's attack applies stacking burn. While frozen, enemies take 2x burn damage. Freeze, stack burn, watch them explode. Against Chronos, this combo is the fastest kill in the game. Full weapon rankings and boon pairings at guide-hades-2.pages.dev.
The Umbral Flames with Hestia's Aspect stacks infinite burn
The seeking projectiles apply burn that stacks infinitely. Against stationary bosses, you can stack 30+ burn ticks and their HP evaporates during invincibility phases. Add Zeus's Smoldering Air Duo for lightning bolts that trigger on burn ticks.
32 Fear Vow setup
The jump from 24 to 32 Fear is the hardest spike. Take Frenzy 2 (enemies attack faster) because Melinoe's dash iframes handle it. Take Scars 2 (no healing) because the Titan Arcana Card gives permanent DR. Avoid Death (8 Grasp for one extra life) — permanent DR is better.
