What to study

The sequel's defining combat idea is drawn as a second bar: Magick (blue, 178 / 195) sits directly over health (red, 145 / 145), and spending Magick powers the Omega variants of each move, here a glowing golden Cast sigil rings Melinoë mid-channel. The rest of the build is worn down the edges as in Hades I: a left rail of boon/weapon icons with levels, the familiar icon with its star pips at bottom left, gold at bottom right (827), enemy health floating over its target. Compare the Hades I combat HUD keeper (hades-4): same edge-grammar, new resource economy at its centre. Frame at about 0:49 in the v1.0 Showcase (Steam).
