What are Sister Blades’ Aspects?

The Sister Blades in Hades 2 have three main Aspects: Melinoe, Artemis, and Pan. Each one offers unique abilities and enhancements to suit different playstyles.

• Aspect of Melinoë: Enhances backstab capabilities and Magick synergy, boosting damage and special effects when striking enemies from behind.
