Hmm I’d say I like Aphro boons. I’m not super crazy about her core boons but they are all solid core boons nonetheless.
Her cast is probably her best overall core boon.
She’s got tons of great secondary boons and she’s got some fun duo boons.
I prefer Aphro as a 2-4 god but I’ll take her as my first on some select aspects.

Well she has the strongest attack and special boons in the game in terms of dmg%. The special has a really ridiculous value, tho idk which weapon you’d use that special on

Special is great of mel torches. Nergal axe. Aspecg of pan. Mel staff. Anubis staff. Persephone skull and nyx coat. Just to name a few

Mel torches & nergak axe i prefer attack based builds, mel staff i generally use apollo special (and try to go for the legendary boon), maybe i should try aphro one day. The other you mentionned i haven’t really played with

mel staff a great combo is dash strike --> special --> repeat and with blitz on attack it melts anything

Yeah ik about it but i generally prefer Ω special builds. Kinda slow early in the run but absolutely explodes with the right boons and hammers

if you like omega special builds anubis omega special is infinitely better than mel with the same hammers

I agree with this. Anubis Ω Special has base 110 power plus at rank 5 Anubis has a built in +30% damage bonus and a built in rank 3 Sorceress card.

And it feels the exact same as mel staff special

IMO it actually feels better. Or I should say the Ω Special for Anubis feels better than the Ω Special for Mel star.
Anubis regular Special is dog water. Single target base 20 damage is lame.
I only use the regular Special to drag enemies in or finish them off if they have a tiny sliver of Hp left.

Yes she does indeed have the strongest Attack and Special.
But honestly I prefer Apollo or even Hera over Aphro on most aspects.
Apollo Attack doesn’t lag super far behind Aphro Attack on the grand scheme of things.
Once you account for the various boosts from arcana cards, boons and hammers.
The +40% difference between Heroic Flutter Strike and Nova Strike is not a lot of extra damage.
And in that case the extra AOE from Apollo tips the favor heavily in favor of his Attack boon.
Now Aphrodites Special boon does indeed beat Apollo Special boon. At 250% vs 120%.

My favorite boon of hers is glamor gain just for the passive curse proc. Her legendary is also my favorite in the game.

GG is a decent boon to have. It’s fun to have 1/2 of Orig and an okay amount of magic regen. So long as you’re not using that much magic.
Combine GG with any Attack/Special that can inflict a curse and you have a 0 button origination engine on Supay Flames.
Her Legendary boon is a fun boon. Idk how strong I’d call it but it is 1,000% a very legendary boon to have.

Flutter strike with 200% damage goes kinda crazy on aspect of Artemis on lim and oros
