Another episode of risking my run against an elite just to get a shitty relic
>>736102379Got to Ascension 10 with Ironclad but keep getting my ass kicked, any tips?I know most Elites are to be avoided, i had a good thing going with a headbutt and rage loop for damage and block but act 3 raped me
>>736103252if you needed the relic then there was no run to riskif you didn't need to relic then it was a foolish risk

Is havoc a bad or good card? How different is it for sts1 and 2!
Anger's art in STS1 always made me think of Scout from TF2 punching someone
>>736103648You're talking like I'm supposed to know what relic I'm gonna get. If you don't risk you never win
>>736103980Kek
>>736103880It's good if you're getting it upgraded for free, or if you have exhaust synergy. Just be sure to press A before playing it. Also good with headbutt. I would not take an unupgraded Havoc without a lot of synergy, though.
Skeleton chest... erotic...
>>736102562>it hits all the defends
>>736102379How the fuck do I win as the necro bitch? My stats are like 1-20. I feel my issue is either I don't get the ramp I need in my deck and die or I do get a good deck but then get bodied on 1 encounter (fuck knowledge demon).Yes I am retarded (trying to beat A1 with her)
I can't beat the Heart with the defect, I need to draw and play like 4 different powers before my decks feel functional

>>736111305>2 feralsyes retard
good game friends :)
ggs fellas
gg frens!!!
>>736110637If this was in sts2 it'd be a hard pool act 3 normal fight and the knives would resummon themselves every turn while repto gains strength every other turn
>>736111367I'm just worried it might be too slow, and it might be better to spend the feral charges on ftl to get my orb cards in play.
that deck doubling event in a3 is fucking lameit's just too broken
>>736111616Claw is fineYoud rather have drill or the gold strike thing normally but with feral it's pretty good damageNow look for a beam cell
>>736111583the player is stronger on sts2
haha, what if we were to host a new lobbyjust kidding, unless... :O
>>736112380Stop talking like a furry.
>>736112476*raises paw* I wasn't, though
>>736112380are you the regent chad who carried the last one?
>>736112634Perhaps...
wtf, I thought if you failed the target dummy event, it kills youturns out you just don't get the reward
>>736112817
>>736113108you get something worse than deatha humiliation ritual
huh if you stay in the bath it just straight up kills you instead of not letting you like other events.that is really weird.
>Defect and Regent slowing me down with their shameful waysVGH
>>736112020Thinking about transforming the claw into a maul now. Sure, feral won't work on it, but mauls are so much faster. But my orbs are already fast and maul won't make them any faster.
>>736113471I think events only stop you from killing yourself in multiplayer
>>736112124And yet I'd rather fight any of the current act 3 elites than base repto, god forbid a buffed version
>>736113786If you're saying orbs are doing most of your heavy lifting then I'd probably just take the 7 free block a turn. Maul would be fun but again, if your orbs are doing the work for you then you'd basically just be turning all your attack cards into Maul which is fiiiine, but 7 block's a free Defend+ every turn which helps set up and pay off ball fondling
>>736114171I was starting to lean that way too with the goopy defends.
>>736109487>Gender neutral>The DefectWhat did they mean by this?
>>736113786maybe worth with shurikenbut maul still isn't very good. it's actually good with egg or some other automatic upgrades though, maul+ is +2 dmg per use (so +4 since it hits twice).
>>736111583Salt is bad for you.
Ascension 9 is kicking my ass, even though 8 was not that difficult to me. Anyone else having A9 problems?
>>736114535I've had maul runs go crazy, and I certainly have the card draw for it right now with FTL, but I have no energy support since my deck is mostly 0 costs right now so I don't think I could get full value out of it. Most of it is that damage is a solved problem already, and with just a little bit of focus added what I already have should go crazy.
someone host :)
>>736114731well if you have mostly 0 costs that means you energy left overbut most 0 costs are not blocks so sounds like that's an issue
>>736105986most bosses in the first game also buff strength or prepare a large attack.
What can I saw I love feet.
>>736115061which enchant is that?
>>736115097
>>736115061this but with bulk up on defect
>>736104326>negative pulse but betterGreat
>>736115061Mirror relic and Broken Mirror event?
>>736115139is that enchant from an event?i assume it's just nightmared
>>736115245Yeah, you can start finding the event pretty early in act 1.
>>736114765
>>736108219>cool but that's really only one turn of bl-I kneel
>>736108219is it really a win if you have to spend 30 minutes doing menial buttonpushing
>>736102379>get to act 2 with a solid deck with good sustain>brick the first hand twice in a row because it's mechanically impossible to dump all of your strikes/defends before that point>die to unavoidable damage from a forced eliteWow, what a great game

>>736120309you added a bad card to your deck
I just found out people play this game with a controller
Jackpot is such a goofy ass card, I love it.
>>736121131It's so good on Defect
>>736121131Never used it (except for random potion cards) but I really want to try it on an All for One deck
>>736121345What about Regent? He can make Jackpot with his colorless creation
>>736121112I mean it does have console ports so it makes sense. I play with mouse myself but I think I should learn to play with keyboard since it's faster and I'm playing the game so much
>>736121730It's good if you can generate tons of stars
>>736121730Bad, because you mostly get 0 cost cards that cost stars without star generation.
>>736121131I present to you my Jackpot Necrobinder deck.The win condition is playing Jackpot 1000 times and saying "random bullshit go" and raping the enemies.Gamba.
>>736122147why'd you crop out the size of the draw and sicard piles and the turn number?
>>736122183It didn't even need the dirge, Osty was left unhit on both fights. Capture Spirits did exactly the same which is shuffling souls on the draw pile (the important part).Literally and unironically play jackpot over and over and say "kino", that's all you need.
BUFFLEGION
>unceasing top with clad exhaust buildoh boy time to just click cards until i won
>>736122147you should always have "deal damage to ALL enemies" cards because of this elite, the eels, and the centipede
i finally managed to win a run after like 30ish failed attempts total.from the deck alone, is there anything i need to know for the future? I think i did the best i could in act 1 and then skipped almost everything in act 2 and 3. Bulwark blocks and being able to hit with the sword really helped me win.
>>736124039Based nonny got a win by himself. Congrats man, it feels really nice doesn't it
This run is over.
>>736122774I still want the meme run of 4 necros all with Legion. Last time we tried, nobody got a single Legion.
>>736124707it's not that great
>>736124707why would you ever clone that
>Regent run>got offered Echo Form from the colored-glass sages>just got Void Form from the act 2 bossIf I lose this one I will SHIT my own pants
>>736124987I was going to upgrade it, remove my strikes, and combo it with Prolong.
>>736125054sounds like a shit strat desu
>>736124707KEK
>>736124707He did you a favor.
This might actually be the greatest Shiv seed ever conceived.>got Blade of Ink from Neow>Astrolabe transforms 3 into Blade Dance, Fan of Knives, Up My Sleeves>got Dark Embrace + Burning Pact on the Philosophers event>got Daughter of the Wind doll (1 block every attack played)>bellows upgrades entire hand (7) for free on top of it allJust the Dark Embrace and 2 Up My Sleeves are already an infinite after you've played them twice.
>>736109487defect is not an organic being, it is an it
>>736124313it does. I really felt like dropping the game because it was getting tiring to lose over and over but i think im getting the hang of it now.
>>736125547doesn't look that go->dark embraceholy shit
>>736125547That's a sick looking deck
I SHIT my pants.
I accidentally opened leddit and this showed up. Is bro right or tripping balls?
>>736125813it's not that bad
>>736125813he's right, runs are now 90% hard build counters/damage races at every level
>>736122147>small deck>no draw>no aoe>no potionsthere are times where it is physically impossible to beat phrog because you draw one real card per turnI generally try to just avoid elites because it's pretty much never worth it in 2, but on ascension it's pretty much impossible
>>736125813gaining extra multihits is actually a unique mechanic, unlike the strength gain that literally half of the enemies do, and thus has unique counterplay, unlike strength gain
>>736125813>accidentallyRight . . .
check out this OP card I just got
>>736125663>>736125709lmao no way
>>736125710Again?
>>736126065Okay this is just dumb. No exhaust calculated gamble?
>>736124707>>736125428Maybe he did. I still would have preferred playing those instead of my Doom blocks. I won with 2 Fear, Defy, 2 Banshee's Cry, combo'd with a Lethality and a Reap. I don't know why people only try to force Osty or Doom. The ethereal debuffs and flat damage show up consistently and have been a huge part of all my Necro wins. Osty needs so many of the right cards at the right time.
this shit is so ass, why the fuck did they think it was worth 5 fucking elites for 3 strengthI get 3 strength from a single power on cladnot only is the effect bad, it's insanely boring for having such a demanding condition AND a unique event to hype it up
>>736126346record the final turn against the experiment
>>736126346I had one of "those" games recently. It gets really dumb really quickly.
>>736126387You're going to fight 5 elites on a winning run anyways. The sword is really more the escape hatch option to avoid the damage on collecting the gold.
>>736126026I have the app downloaded on my phone. I was looking up something about a japanese music channel on google, it took me to leddit, I tapped 'back' and that showed up on my front page, as you can see I'm not even a member of that community but it shows up because google spies everything I type and sends the data to leddit among other quadrillion apps and websites
>>736126548Not me. Elites are a trap. I'm not trading 40 HP for a Strike Dummy.
>>736126548>You're going to fight 5 elites on a winning run anywaysI'm going to fight as few as possible, elite fights are dogshit. I want as many cards and events as possible. Elites, especially in act 2 are ludicrously difficult while giving me dogshit rewards whereas regular fights give me something I want for a modest HP cost and +1 max HP from chosen cheese. The only time I path into an elite on purpose is when it means avoiding 2. STS1 elites were always worth it, in every single act. This is just not the case in 2.
>>736126671yeah bro just keep narwhalling that bacon at midnight xd
The longer I play the more I feel STS2 is focusing on retarded OP combos.I either struggle if I build fair deck or I nuke every encounter turn 2.Relics are rarely relevant there are still some unbalanced even relics out there it's mostly Ancients + event card enchants.But I'm just a scrub I haven't beaten the tutorial yet A8 on all characters.
>>736126671I'm sorry but why are you browsing interwebs on your phone?Do you have brain damage?
>>736126736Elites give significantly more gold than hallway fights so if you want to get goodies at the shop and remove cards from your deck you're going to need to fight elites. You can't depend on events to randomly save your ass.
>>736126736I thought I was crazy for thinking like this. There are like two relics worth an elite fight: the top, and the ice cream. Everything else is just a slight convenience not worth sacrificing your upgrade at the rest site.>>736126839>You can't depend on events to randomly save your ass.You can, there are too many good events in this game.
>>736126839>You can't depend on events to randomly save your ass.Can, will and do. Almost no events are purely negative, there's just a few in act 3 that really suck. I intentionally pick a path in Act 1 with as many ?s as possible because they're so damn rewarding, with only a few giving you mediocre rewards and even fewer actually doing something you don't want. It's not worth losing 30% of my HP to elite for a single relic and better chance at a rare. I'm going to be forced to fight a few anyway, so I avoid them as much as possible.

>>736117475Who is best to watch? I only know of your pic and jorbs. Both are good at the game and I learned lots about 1 from them, but both are annoying in their own ways. Lord is so sanitized and safe that it physically shows on his face with the weird, careful expression he has on all the time. Jorbs on the other hand is too smug and will belittle questions being asked by the chat without actually answering them. Lord goes out of his way to teach people things though and explain his decisions patiently, whilst jorbs high autism spreadsheets and theories can be intetesting to see.
>>736127932unironically should just be an ironclad uncommonitd fix so many of his issues at the same time
>>736128127NaveGreedvmService I think Baalor is fine. Believe he used to be a teacher, so his more proper way of speaking made sense, and I like that he doesn't go off on random unrelated topics or make snarky jokes. Jorbs is pretty insufferable.
Does any one actually take seven stars if they don't have void form to cheat the cost? 2 energy on top of the star cost makes it seem so hard to play
>>736126736>>736126976If you don't fight elites for the relic, you fight them for the rare and uncommon card drops, + avoiding the hard hallway fights after you've gotten your freebies done.
>>736126452It was taking too long...https://files.catbox.moe/tytnan.webm>>736126454I think not even in StS1 I had a run quite like this one. It feels like things can get out of hand way faster here.
>>736128596High cost big damage cards are good for ending fights, but I haven't taken seven stars yet. Feels like taking taking most forge cards do that job better.
>>736126387Would it be overpowered if the Sword just gave you 1 Strength from every Elite you kill? Maybe 1 Strength every 2 Elites?
>>736128789If you have Throne, yeah. But that's simply a testament to Throne breaking the regent.
>>736128784good shit
>>736128596I do if I have the card that costs 5 stars and gives you 9, not that hard to pull off if you have that card that gives you 1 star and like 4 or 5 the next one
>>736128596hidden cache (preferably multiple) is utterly broken and will carry your star generation by itselfgrab whichever card it is that plays a skill 3 times for you and congrats, you get 16 stars next turn for 2 energy

They needed to do more with this game. Like it feels like they barely added anything. There should be more acts and like more world building like towns or something and side quests. Theres only one pet thing.
>>736129798It's in early access bro... Alternate acts for Act 2 and 3 are planned, while an eventual Act 4 should be in as well.
Finally got my ironclad a10 win. Thank you dominate+ and molten fist. Gambling coin was beautiful too.Genuinely do not understand how I'm supposed to "scale quickly" as ironclad without busted rng.
>>736129798I can't believe the Regent's minions don't have any pet mechanics
>>736129320>Mystic LighterIt will get nerfed.It's so good.
>>736129980They probably didn't want to make him too similar to the necrobinder, but when I read the minion thing I thought for sure they'd spawn around him like osty
>>736111169sounds exhausting
>>736114650a9 is a real difficulty spikedon't really have any advice just wanted to let you know it's significantly harder than 8

>>736103980fuck now i can't unsee it
>>736128596Seven Stars is consistently 7 hits which makes the most of strength stacking via Resonance, Monologue, Arsenal, etc. The other multihits require more energy like Celestial Might, or are energy-based like Stardust and Heavenly Drill, star-based like Radiance, or skill-based like Lunar Blast.

>>736129469>mfw watching the Test Subject's damage creep up to 100+ as everyone else continued to play a billion skills after I ran out of cardsThat phase 1 is fucking scary in multiplayer. I really thought it was over for a second thereGG anons. Felt like I didn't contribute much besides being an earlygame vuln bot, but then again my Claws were doing 60ish damage at the end so maybe it's a matter of perspective
>>736133435lol, I fucking hate that phase, toopeople need to realize that playing defend is not worth it there, it’s like gremlin nob times four
>get teapot as first act 1 relic>literally every single combat after a campfire manages to draw ascenders bane, 3 strike/defends, and either a 0 cost card or a 4th defend and the enemy isn't attacking>get perfect fit event>card somehow ends up on the bottom of my drawpile every single combatAlso why the fuck do I never see pommel strike, I look through my run history, and act 1 will offer me 4 Havocs and 3 Cinders in card rewards, I'll somehow hit 3 shops through question marks, and only one of them will sell me a singular Pommel Strike.
>>736133537well, it's literally an abomination made out of gremlin nob and other mobs from STS1
>>736133435Phase 1 is simply not balanced for multiplayer
>>736132908Sad>>736133035Sorry but we're already almost halfway through Act 2Pic related... Ironchad lovers you might wanna see this
>>736133672impossible, gremlin nob has never been defeated so it can’t be made out of him
>>736133903>>736133672speaking of, where are all the gremlins and nobs in 2i guess there's the coin-stealer gremlins but are there any others?
I hate that my BULKmaxxing Defect (no feral, sadly) basically lost this fight purely due to my hands never lining up in phase 3.It was an honest deck. I gambled on feral showing up or the ? event in act 3 where you can remove exhaust from a card, and neither happened. I had no other obvious win condition. Rare instance where I was actually able to make use of kettlebell with tiny tent.

>>736139530could never be me, I like my internet friends too much.none of us even died to the waterfall nigger's explosion after 3 elites lmao
>>7361382383rd fight in act 2 and 3 is hard pool. Only act 1 gets 3 easy pool fights.
>>736138238I don't know. He's a bastard. The hard encounters are genuinely worse than elites.
>>736139996nah, he's bad but his summon doesn't do as much damage as the prism or hard counter builds like the bee nigger
>>736139530I just draw extremely racist Chinaman caricatures
>>736140043
>>736140040>prismWhile you can certainly get a bad hand and take 20 on him, the extra energy from hitting him means that you're usually able to cruise through the fight.>bee niggerYeah, this guy is just a bastard as well. For a while I thought that maybe it was worth it to avoid hitting him with anything weak on the first cycle because his dazed go into your draw pile, not your discard pile, but then you just get raped regardless.
>>736102470
>>736140040The millipede is the worst of them. Even if you have the aoe to kill it, you're usually going to walk away taking 20-30 damage even with a good deck.
>>736140294I agree, I only didn't mention it because while the milipede fucks up more decks, the bee nigger fucks up a few decks harder, and people often ignore that prism winds up being a significant health tax on any build not heavily investing in block. Not a run ender but someone who will chunk you at least once in a way that can be avoided with the obscura.
luv me runic pyramidsimple as
>>736140404>no snakebiteunironically how did you do it?
>decimillipede>deathbringer + end of days
they should add vc so you can make moaning sounds for the anons you play with
It's astounding to me how many people think Second Wind is some how badThe point of the card is exhausting down your deck in a controllable way while generating block to protect you. I don't want to draw my defends and flame barriers I want to draw my Ashen Strikes over and over that's how I win the game>b-but power throughAn inconsistent meme synergy that was always bad to do compared to getting useless cards out of your deck so you can play your attacks more
>>736140541no, and nobody wants your regent mods either
Is the scaling on the ascensions faster?I remember easily passing through like the first 13 ascensions un the first game.But now I'm getting utterly bodied on the 8th and 9th ascensions here.
>>736140752there's only 10 so yes
>>736140752They condensed a lot of the ascensions together
>>736108690Can you be more respectful?
>>7361407521. Yes2. 5, 8, 9, and 10 are the only truly significant jumps
>>736140895>>736140805>>736140791Oh its only upto 10.Makes sense.I guess I don't feel so bad having everyone on A9 now.
>>736140953a9 and a10 are filters. with 9 suddenly you have to account for extra damage that's just enough to wipe decks that would've cleared lower ascensions easily. and with 10 you have tons of decks that could scrap by one boss having no chance against the 2nd. good luck.
How do I stop being dogshit at this game? I'm 40 hours between the 1st and 2nd game, and have trouble with non ascension runs. I try to deal with lots of elites for relics but just end up worn down pretty quick.
>>736141089don't deal with elites, then. Have you noticed what isn't working for your decks?
>>736141009i kind of dislike a9 and a10 honestly. it feels like it's less about building a fundamentally soild deck and getting a little lucky a few times along the way, and more about breaking through some sort of ceiling of degeneracy by sheer luck.
>>736141089pick a good path on the mappick good cardsplay good cards in the correct order in combatI hope that helps
>>736141178I feel the same but I've come to accept that it's a skill issue because apparently the top players still have a very high winrate at a10.
>>736141089you're probably being way too greedy picking late-game powers and scaling and going after elitesyou need to recognize when you're weak and when you're strong, and pick a path on the map that will allow you to divert away from elites when you're weak or opt in to them when you're strongyou're also probably picking a lot of bad cards when you should be skipping
>>736138960I'm surprised we made it that far at all with how jank my deck was. Not a complete waste of my time, thank you and goodnight
RIP so close, GG
>>736141009>>736141230>>736141178DESU i feel the lack of boss reward energy relics in the new game gets really felt in those ascensions because then you really need to be smart about what you add in your deck
>>736141089In general it's better to have a smaller deck than a bigger deck.Try getting your strikes and defends out of the deck whenever you can by transforming/removing them.Get used to what each enemy does and plan accordingly for bosses.?, fires and shops are all good things you should try to maximize, elites are nice to have if you have confidence you can do em relatively painlessly otherwise just skip em.
>>736141282Personally I feel that the new boss relics are stronger than the old ones from STS1.Or rather the enemies are easier so you don't need em as much.
>>736141089Honestly just learn the cards. Once you have built up your knowledge on what cards each character has you'll naturally start to take cards that synergize with one another, regardless of their rarity. At the start of the run pick you'll mostly pick your damage cards, and then start picking defense, energy and draw in that order. Generally the first cards you add generally shape the deck's "theme" because you'll always be thinking of what goes well with what you already have and what is lacking.Also while Elites are super good for rewards, try aiming for them on the later half of the act, so you're well-built when you face them. Only go for 4~ of you are completely sure your starting bonus+first card picks can handle that.
>>736141089your number one priority is campfires. A deck full of good unupgraded cards sucks. You want as many rest sites as possible, period. Your first card selections, unless a very powerful archetype card that isn't dependent on other cards is offered, should be cards that are flexible. You will probably end up skipping several card rewards in most act 1s. Shops are not high priority destinations, sometimes even when you have a lot of gold. Even though enemies scale faster than in sts1, you can be a little patient and focus on full blocking as many attacks as you can to avoid getting chipped down on your way to the boss and do as many upgrades instead of rests as possible. learn which archetypes are strongest for each character - that one should be done by playing for fun and not by looking at guides.
>>736141089Elites are honestly bait for new players unless you know that your deck is capable enough to deal with them/have decent rests set up afterwards/have decent potion setups. Taking 20-30+ damage for a dogshit relic that does jackshit is not worth it.
>>736140589Power Through being given to Defect definitely works better imo.
>>736102562Needs more mouse bites.
are we getting another patch this week, also wtf is up with the captcha chump checking me if I know who tatsumaki is
>>736142357You're a black man.
>>736102379what's his problem?
>>736143032There's going to be one every Friday as far as I can tell.I haven't gotten a single one of those new captaches yet.
>>736143561ooops forgot picwhat's his problem?
>>736141178I think I'm going to just play runs at A8-A9 until I feel comfortable enough to win more consistently at A10. I find that the pressure of knowing that I need to make something work or just die makes me default into building decks that I know how to play, rather than experiment with other archetypes that might actually be better for what the seed is giving me.I don't feel like I can afford to do that at A10 without killing all my momentum.
having fun with big osty run until running into the giant enemy crab that shits out so much damage it's impossible to keep him alive
Another fake snecko winI'm in the habit of picking up a random Bludgeon in act 1 now and it just leads into real/fake Snecko so well.
>>736143604He likes making reality-destroying Spires as a hobby, I guess.
>>736141230i mean, true, but i don't want to try that hard lmao
>>736143662>see tempting card reward on A9 / A10>oh that might be fun>click it>realize that I've polluted my deck with a card that makes the thing I'm already doing, which is working, statistically less likely to happen consistently>dieI've lost count of how many times this has happened. Jorbs is a massive faggot, but he's correct that skip is the strongest option in acts 2 and 3. Even picking another copy of a good card that's already in your deck can influence it in an awkward direction as you're not guaranteed to get another card that balances it back out. Too much block, too much damage, an extra copy of a power you can't safely play, etc.
>all strikes and defends are removed from your deck after the first actthere I fixed the game
>>736143842i really hate the>guess i'll diebosses / elites who just giga-hard-counter specific decks.the worst example of this isn't even a boss / elite, it's when you're running doom / poison and you run into the hard encounter in act 2 with the screaming and burrowing bugs.>bug in front has 2 artifact and deals 8x2 every other turn>bug in back hits you once, buffs, and then hits for 23 damage every single turn until you break his ~35 guardguess what doesn't break his guard? doom / poison. hope you have some hard-hitting cards and you actually draw them before the screaming buff just fills your fucking deck with dazed. :))
>>736145118then you instantly got tons of easy infinity shit
Thinking about dipping heavily into regent's now buffed commons and taking a lot of early elites in act 1, getting a bunch of relics and a decent shot at some good rares, and using this to win more easily in act2-3. What do you guys think? Less caution? More deck bloat? I think regent cares less about that stuff right now. Arsenal has innate. Forge cards put the sword in hand. Star generation and expenditure uses a resource. Rares being specific and sought after means you need to see more of them etc etc
