I play Hades and my two favorite weapons are the sword and the fists, because I like to get up close and just button mash at my enemies. I have escaped 7 times with the sword and zero times with the bow and arrow, because I can't manage to figure out how to reliably kill things with the bow. (I stand too close or too far away.)
Defeating hades himself is really hard at first, then I think by the second or third time I did it, I'd figured out the knack of it and it wasn't nearly as hard. But the game ramps you up slowly enough that you don't really beat him until you're ready to beat him, if that makes sense.
I have learned (the hard way) that I really need to get at least a couple defensive boons because I never think to dodge away from incoming hits and so I die a lot when I maybe didn't have to. Athena is good for defense and Hermes is good for dodging automatically, and I love any of the "vengeance" boons where anytime I get hit my enemies automatically take a bit of damage.
