Artemis
Info
Title	Goddess of the Hunt
Relations	Zeus (Father) Hades (Uncle) Poseidon (Uncle) Athena (Sister) Ares (Brother) Dionysus (Brother) Hermes (Brother) Zagreus (Cousin)
Affiliation	Mount Olympus
Voice	Jamie Landrum

Artemis is the Olympian Goddess of the hunt and the wilderness. She offers boons to Zagreus which give his abilities the chance to deal Critical damage. In addition, she also offers boons that improve Cast abilities.

Since Critical hits deal three times the damage of a normal ability, Artemis boons when properly combined with other boons have the potential to deal tremendous damage, and further increase your damage output. In addition, her Cast related boons increase your total ammo, damage dealt, or decrease the time to re-collect Bloodstones, further enabling a powerful ranged tool.

Her signature Status Curse is Marked, which increases the chance of dealing a critical hit to the afflicted enemy, consuming the Curse. This increase in chance will stack with her boons that offer Critical hit chance.

Artemis is one of three Olympian gods (the other two being Aphrodite and Zeus) who will not appear in the very first run of a save.

Affinity

If given Nectar, Artemis will give you the Adamant Arrowhead.

Codex entry

'...The goddess of the hunt has always held my highest admiration. Unlike so many of her brethren on Olympus, she seems unconcerned with being praised at every turn by mortals, and instead she dutifully holds her station as a master of the natural world. Even Lord Hades may hold some respect for her, I think. Certainly her power is responsible for no small quantity of shades in this domain. Lord Hades and the Lady Artemis have certain traits in common, I suppose; each solitary and committed to their work. If only my Lord Hades understood that someone such as Artemis could be someone to confide in, rather than resent along with all the others on Olympus.'

Mechanics

Some of Artemis' boons give the chance for an ability to do Critical damage. This is a modifier that causes foes to take more damage than usual. A critical hit will deal 300% damage to an enemy, without any other modifiers.

Additionally, all projectiles created by Artemis boons (her Cast Boon, True Shot, as well as Artemis' Aid projectiles, Dual Shot projectiles, and Support Fire projectiles) will bypass held shields on Exalted Greatshields and Theseus.
