>>730836160because it's not obtainable as a card reward
>you know that really cool fun build?>were going to make it nigh impossible to get!>anything other than focus/frost? what are you insane?!
>>730836160Because naming it Immigrant didn't pass the censors
>>730840897Same with Pressure Points. Mark could have been an interesting mechanic if they made more than one (1) card.
>>730836160this game is easy as fuck
>>730844601lel
So the game "cheats" right?I noticed if you play a power heavy deck you get the dog and if you play low cost or shiv decks you get time eater
>>730844892No, the whole thing has been data mined and shit, there's simulators that will tell you every random outcome for a given seed including the act 3 boss. it's just confirmation bias
>>730844892every deck you make must be some flavor of low cycle power spam
>>730842536It's not a hard game, but my little monkey brain has a problem of playing a good well built deck and then "... is that Creative AI?"I then die on Act 3 by drawing 0 blocks.>>730845205Based Defect enjoyer
>20 damage
>>730840897the subreddit is obsessed with this deck
>>730840897Claw is just kinda bad though, it's like worse rampage because defect can't exhaust their deck down nearly as fast as ironclad The thing about frost-focus too is that unless you have stupid amounts of focus you still need an actual damage plan if you want to actually win act 3/4 at high ascension. Claw can be part of that but it scales really slowly and the heart punishes card spam anyways so there's much better options
>>730844892No the boss is part of the seed like the other anon said so the moment you start a run it is already determined. You should try to play around those bosses by not building your deck in a way that makes yourself vulnerable to them until you know who you're facing in act 3. Same with gremlin nob, don't take slow powers and block cards early and try to fight an early elite act 1 because you will just die 1/3rd of the time (or take so much damage your run dies later as a result)
>>730840897>All for one>ScrapeFixed that problem for you fampeiAlso>Streamline
>>730847783Claw is better than rampage because it's free and Defect does have a ton of ways to recur it. It's still bad but once in a rare while you end up in a spot where it is legitimately good. Rampage is just really, really bad, even if Ironclad can cycle his deck fast enough to make it work he would still usually rather have a Pommel Strike or something instead, he can win in a dozen ways at that point. Rampage's one niche is if you get offered no good damage and can't beat Guardian or Lagavulin sometimes you can take it and it will do 40 damage or so over the fight and then you treat it like a strike+ the rest of the run basically

StS is ok but I still prefer Inscryption
>>730854373Inscryption is good for like the 1st hour of gameplay
Uptick in StS shilling nearing the release of 2, I'm nooooticing
I remember playing this like a year ago.I got hardstuck on ascension 18 for all the characters and just moved on to other games.Was I shit at the game or was this the normal experience?
>>730837445Hopefully she never gets one and goes to Alligator Alcatraz.
>>730854620And that's a good thing
>>730850921>always shows up on the turn where you're about to be hit with 30+
>>730854757A20 is doable either by bruteforcing until you get a broken combo or actually getting good. Whether you have the patience and mental capacity to get good is on you.
>curse magnet
>>730840897Claw is the forbidden fruit of Slay the Spire. So tempting every time, but it's just gonna lead to suffering
>>730840897Every Claw build is just Frost with extra steps. I hope they actually make it decent in StS2 when he returns, because people will use it anyways
>>730858957Just get good.
>>730859965>1hp
>>730860032Look closer.
>>730859965Every single one of your relics is screaming at you to use a better build, except the fan.
>>730854757A19/A20 are meant to be unfair, as a challenge. I think A17 is probably the ceiling of normal play.
>>730847783>you still need an actual damage planVery often the solution for this is 'that ball lightning i picked up in act 1 to kill nob, except now i have 19 focus'

>>730850509>board game adaptation's version of rampage>1 damage per card in the exhaust pileFor context, 1 damage is a baseline for strike. Its fucking nutty.
I asked someone to bring the board game to a boardgame meetup next saturday. That will be the first time playing I'm curious how it'll be.
>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2947513553>devs make board game version of the video game>autists mod it back into the video gamekek
>>730858798I had an acension 16 or 17 that I obliterated with three copies of clash, but that was more because it was a defensive deck with good exhaust so I would clear my hand of all skills then lay into the encounter with clash and body slam+
So what's gonna happen to this fanbase when the sequel comes out, everyone's mad that it's ugly addictive RNG shit, before realizing the original was that too?
>>730870682The content from spire 1 will get ported to spire 2 since it is allegedly better for modding.

>>730866106This girl looks like she STINKS
>>730869862It's like playing the normal game except everything takes 10 times longer.
>>730872325Some cards are completely redesigned and the coop element is an entertaining change of pace.Dont expect to grind your face with the A20 equivalent, though.
I got everyone to ascension level 6, then took a break and forgot everything, give tips
>>730874591Get relics.Take good cardsDont take bad cards, remove bad cards if you can.Dont focus build for the far future, build for the near future because dying prevents you from getting to the far future.
>>730874591you don't need to kill the heart to win so take risks, but don't take as many risks as you would actually trying to slay the spire
>brown with white hair and green eyesWhat race is that even supposed to be
>>730863907the new xcoms do lie about probability in all but the highest difficulty.Like when it says 85% chance to hit, it's actually 95%. The ability to assess is so bad in scrubs that they still think it cheats against them instead of for them.
>>730855858>mfw I never noticed
>>730876036I believe its on youtube but there is a video of a guy actually missing a 100% chance to hit on XCOM 2. I am almost certain its a bug however but the game negated the damage and continued the turn like nothing happened.
>>730875496fanta'sea
>>730860032>7 block
>>730876484its in one of the beta cards for watcher
>vanilla StS>add 2 Weak to all enemies>modded StS>if the enemy have Vulnerable, Weak and over 80 HP while you have Bag of Marbles and Turnip, deal 8 damage and gain Shackled equal to the amount of blocked damage. If you have less than 23 HP on a Friday of August during a full moon, gain 3 Temporary Dexterity that get removed after gaining Block, unless you're facing Snecko and have at least 3 Shivs in your hand, where you then gain 5 Bamboozled+. If you have at least 3 Status cards in your deck, 173 gold and the enemy intent to use a Debuff while in Divinity Stance, EVERYONE received 3 Hex and Constricted.
>>730877959I actually wrote a modded card that was based around the amount of blocked damage it dealt, its different now though
>>730877959Modding the game to make Yugioh-esque card rules defeats the purpose of making a simple casual deck builder you don't have to jump through autistic hoops for. Cards that read like that are why Yugioh lost its charm in the first place because it appealed to sweats.
hmm
>>730880945Cards need tons of text when the rules aren't tight enough to cover the amount of edge cases that will inevitably come up. This is an eventually problem for every TCG that refuses to amend their rulesSimply play better card games
>>730850996StS is entirely about your decision making, your mechanical skill and how you even interface with the game is arbitrary. If you ever make a mechanical mistake like clicking end turn by accident or discarding a potion you meant to drink or throw, you're not cheating yourself or the game at all by saving and exiting and then replaying the combat as it happened up until that mechanical mistake.
>finally beat A19 after 22 straight losses
>>730868027The game changes drop rates based on what you pick. Streamline is the highest dps card in the game

>>730881643Streamline is good for early game but really doesn't do anything come late game You draw it vs Time Eater whatchu gonna do huh pay 2 energy for 20 damage ?
>>730881272When you're making your foundational rules so open ended it leads to cards reading like a readers digest short story then I'd argue you failed in making a good TCG in the first place.
Tried the watcher for the first time and I have no idea what I'm doing. Also I suddenly have to collect some badges now and boss icons glow

>>730885259I was asking because it's not technically wrong but I want to know what you mean if it is rarities or if you're memeing about the game knowing your deck archetype and not giving you the cards you want.
>>730884590what were they even thinking with sundial, it should have been in shop like abacus
I don't know why I like all the characters, but I absolutely loathe ironclad. The build I like is BIG DEFENSE and that's it for her.
>>730885631They were thinking: wow this is fun (it is)
>>730840897I almost got it boss, almost...
>>730886095those are some dogshit boss relics
>>730886190The options were really bad.>Ectoplasm (when I already had meal ticket which wanted me to heal at shops)>Pandora's box (on the meme deck that funnily enough doesn't mind the strikes around instead of getting a trillion orb cards)>Philosopher's stone (my deck wanted to race enemies)>Snecko (didn't fit this deck)It was a meme run, but at least I made it to he heart.
>>730858798Best card in the game before ascensions start throwing curses in your deck then it becomes garbo without medkit
>>730844601what happens if you play on ac0?
>>730881879You can definetly build a deck that does like 80% of your damage by just playing streamline over and over again on A20H. Block with frost, a couple of holograms, some card draw, maybe recycle. I do it often enough.
>>730844601That looks like Phil Foglio art from the original MtG sets.>>730840897What's even going on in the right card's illustration?
>>730881879streamline absolutely can be your damage solution in act 3
>>730887786Dr.Claw reference.
>>730844892>"oh man, I got these super fun cards, if I can just get a [common card] or [other common card] once, this will be awesome">card refuses to drop or appear in shops for all three acts

>>730887786I wasn't imagining it, but it was his wife who did the art. Also I can't believe how much this is selling for, I might need to clean out my attic and find it.
>>730836160Anyone find good custom Act mods? I've done the Library of Ruina mod which I enjoyed and currently doing the Hollownest mod which has been very okay so far.
Please post Watcher pics
>>730890030I've only seen one based on some gachashit HSR. It seemed to have some new mechanics like every enemy and you having a new kind of block but I didn't delve too deep into it. I did not really understand the mechanics because at some point cards would autoplay themselves and shit would happen every turn.
>>730889383Most of the Arabian Night cards are expensive due to the limited run.
>>730887937Thats me looking for decent block cards after finally getting a synergized attack portion of my deck set up.
>>730890030the "bundle of" set of mods add a bunch of superbosses that you can challenge that effectively replace act 4 if you decide to do sodownfall is also technically an act mod
>>730891176I didn't know it was a limited run. Why was it limited?
>mt2 paid dlc has a metaprogression modehope sts 2 doesn't do this shit
>>730891681It was an expansion with a small print run and an incredibly large amount of those cards are on never reprint lists.

nice
>>730836160I've been playing the physical version with some friends and it's been a blast. Are there any multiplayer mods for the original version?
>>730844892how big is your sample size? there are only 3 bosses
>>730893738https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2384072973
>>730893517Meh, I'll keep an eye out I guess. I enjoyed both games, so the idea of metaprogression in it is really disappointing.I'm not opposed to unlocking new shit as you play like ToME and Binding of Isaac, but just flat out getting better stats and shit is annoying because 99/100 the game is expecting you to heavily abuse it to make progress.
>>730893879Thanks
>>730862953Slay the spire if it was yugioh
>>730889383It's like THE meme card that everyone knows
>>730892216Isn't every release since the original an expansion?
>>730895479It is? I swear this is the first time I saw it since the 90s. Anywhere else it's been referenced come to mind?
>>730896015An expansion without a block.
STS2 should have the boss card reward and relic on the same screen. Agree or disagree, and why.
>>730896494You could argue there's decision making to be made if you can't choose the relic before the card reward, but I don't understand why it is set up that way. For elites for example you can choose the relic or the card first, I think that should change.
>>730896494there aren't any more boss relics
>>730875207>you don't need to kill the heart to winyou didn't beat the game
>>730896924He can't beat the game until he reached A20 anyways.
>>730896756Wot.Let's hope they know what they're doing and they won't upend the whole gameplay formula just to be different.On the other hand we don't need STS1 again only with new graphics.
>>730897146if you've been following the newsletters they're replacing it with that new start of act stuff, I'm okay with it because a lot of the time boss relics were "how easily can you ignore the downside" instead of actually interacting with the downside, especially for relics like coffee dripper and fusion hammer
>>730836160>Make it to A18 defect>Never get good cards>Never get good pots>If I have a good starting bonus I am going to job by going for all the elites and not having enough power>Act 2 elites are hard to defeat because my relics are mostly junk>If I don't beat the elites I am stuck dealing zero damage to the act 2 boss
Got some Bites and Apparitions again. I love free wins.
>>730850921>Do not get offered an energy relic>>730850996I don't know what that is like
>>730847783>The thing about frost-focus too is that unless you have stupid amounts of focus you still need an actual damage plan if you want to actually win act 3/4 at high ascension. Claw can be part of that but it scales really slowly and the heart punishes card spam anyways so there's much better optionsBias Cognition, artifact, static discharge. Static discharge is superior to thorns against the heart, also static discharge can evoke more frost orbs
