>>736381317
Do you not have even 3/4 strikes/defends?

>>736381181
Box is rng central or useless if you already pruned all strikes and defends. How is it a run winner? Its as much as run winner as something like parasol.

That's a big fucking IF, my man.

>>736381441

in most cases it's a lateral move at worst. choker is a death knell if you rely on a lot of plays and snecko is as well unless you built for it.

>>736381489
There are multiple events that target strikes and defends and if you have been hitting shops you have already pruned quite a few. If you have been pruning ANYTHING you have been reducing them down at least a bit.

>a lot of cards aren't better?
What did he mean by this
Your card count is the same, and what cards are worse than a strike or a defend?

>>736381824
If there was any way to control transform i might agree but you can get a lot of cards that are worse for whatever deck you have probably already locked in at that point than strikes or defends. Yeah, it CAN be great but it's a complete 100% gamble.

>>736381382
All I had left was an upgraded strike and a defend with replay. Like it improves my deck slightly but it would've been nice to get Biased Cognition or something instead

>>736381978
The most likely bad outcome is that you get something not terribly useful, which is already true for strikes and defends for most decks. The odds of you getting something somewhat to quite useful are better than the odds of you getting any true bricks.

Then yes, I can agree in your very narrow scenario of 2 cards to Pandora and zero cost spam, Darv gave you a bad roll.
But those relics would be a dream for most runs.

>>736382032
And how is that a run winner?

regular floors shouldn't tax your hp when there are no good ways to heal.
the payoff is a common card roll and what 15 gold?
you get essentially nothing so you should not have to pay to advance through them.
if you are going to tax per floor give me 50 gold per encounter to buy a fucking potion.
also shops should have the card upgrading section not rest sites if you are expected to rest consistently as your only source of healing in the game.

When are you honestly playing 6 or more cards a turn outside shivs, discard or souls? It’s always been a good relic with no downside for the right deck

>>736382468
for me personally whenever im running a deck which wants that thing in its never offered but the moment i am playing a multi card a turn deck it will show its face, smugly taunting me.

>>736382442
sometimes common cards are what you need

all player numbers should be doubled.
it is actually kind of impressive how consistently bad cards are across the board when they make shit that does 3 or 4 damage against enemies that easily have 50x that amount.
>just buy 10 cards to make this do 6 damage instead
BORING!

>>736382468
>When are you honestly playing 6 or more cards a turn
whenever I pop an offering

Been replaying slay the spire 1 for comparison and I think the biggest upgrade the sequel has over the original is the introduction of ancients and how their relics are incredibly more varied than the original boss relics and the removal of cards that were too OP or too Jank (Wraith Form, Searing Blow, Hello World, Dual Wield (yes I know some of these are still in the game but they aren't in the standard pool anymore))
And the think what I dislike the most is that there's no act 4 boss, this game has been in development for over 5 years, was it so fucking hard to at least repeat the heart as a placeholder?

>>736382635
not really past act 1.
maybe the start of act 2 but act 2 and 3 enemies can be harder than act 1 elites for worse rewards.
it is actually ridiculous how weak shops are.
the restock relic should just be how it fucking works and all the costs of cards should be like the discounted prices considering they sell a common fucking card for the value of 6+ floors of gold.

It's probably for the best. In STS1 I did and enjoyed the A20 climb and heart kills and then I fucked off back to A0 and doing dailies since goofy memeing around with the modifiers is fun. The leaderboards also didn't seem hacked at the time so I'd feel like a swinging dick if I'd make it into the top scores, but I'm assuming whenever they get STS2's scoring functional it's still going to be completely fucked for placing on the dailies board. Actually that is one thing I hope they change in 2, if you were chasing score in 1 there was a LOT of fucking obtuse shit you'd try to do any given run and I hated it

You really, really need to get lucky and drop/buy a thorns potion specifically for that fight. The one that deals 9 damage per turn is also very useful on him, but generally if you see him at the start you should be developing a plan for him from the get-go.

I have to admit it is extremely unambitious, but I'd probably take the safe money in his shoes too, especially after the easy Unity PR win set you up to be an indie sweetheart.

The most damning thing is that he reinvested in the same artists who spent several years of salary producing the same low-fidelity, janky style with better animations.

sly isn't something you usually hard spec into, it simply supplants silent's draw/discard which you already want to go for since they're found in her common pool and enables her to find the cards she actually wants to play each turn.
most of her key uncommon powers from 1 were unchanged: even if you don't find a rare, having footwork, well-laid + wail, etc. remains equally as powerful.
in terms of rares, cards like afterimage are still amazing, new cards like murder/corrosive can become your wincon with proper energy + draw, and knife trap turns shivs from good to busted, especially with afterimage/envenom/shuriken/kunai. poison got nerfed from catalyst -> accelerant but it's still incredibly viable. master planner is just free infinite guaranteed after second deck cycle if you have some prepared/acros.

i think your problem is that you're reversing the process: you don't need to find a rare and then start picking cards, you pick decent consistent options and then pivot as you find potential wincons. silent is able to bet on certain cards that might not work out because if it doesn't, you can just discard it.

>>736392113
It's honestly super underrated. Restmaxxing is great in this game and this just makes it even better.

People have records of them doing like 100 A10 in a row. The game is designed so that 99.9% of runs can be won if played right.

>>736392527
Im willing to give it time because people are still warming up to exactly what a regent deck is supposed to look like, but a lot of his data is that he flips between having the most insane decks and taking 0 damage elites and bosses in early acts when no one else is even close, to being absolute dogshit and taking 30 damage to hard act 1 hallway fights when everyone else is taking 8. in a way he seems very similar to early watcher before people solved watcher.

After playing like 10 hours with him, he feels like a very late game kind of character. Sovereignty Blade build and Star build are the only builds ive had moderate success with but thats only when I get really lucky with getting certain cards. Void Form and Big Bang imo are easily his best cards. But he seems to have a lot of cards that I frankly dont know what to do with or are just seem really niche. On top of having to juggle two resources, I often find myself kind of just playing solitaire more often then not usually dealing little damage and trying to get as much armor as I can. Even when you play all the cards you need and build up your Sovereign Blade or stars, itll often feel too late or not enough.

in the three knights elite why do people hit the mage knight first? ethereal knight hits you for 17 next turn while ballsack knight is also hitting you for 2x10? i find the fight much more smooth hitting ethereal first and killing him turn 2

>>736393763
Doesn't mage knight hit for like 40 turn 3? Or maybe turn 4. I focus him because don't touch my upgrades, bro

>>736393763
mage knight takes my upgrades which generally hurts me more than the ethereal does.

Shivs scale in many many many ways and you're almost guaranteed a payoff in some form because not only does Silent have a bunch of payoffs there's a bunch of good neutral shit for shiv too. Even fucking panache is good for shiv

Sly is broken because some hand filtering is useful even without extra benefit but as soon as you're playing cards for free the rape train has left the station

Poison is broken because it's good extra damage that ignores enemy block and triggers before the enemy acts. Even without big dick poison payoffs it's good to have a poison dagger and/or noxious brap in almost any Silent deck because they're almost never something you'd want to cut. And when you are going hard on poison it can rape bosses harder than just about anything barring an infinite cheese deck. Silent's great at everything

Is this shit ever worth it? I only seem to get it at the start of the run when most of my deck is strikes and defends

>>736395736
I really hope they don't give this guy some sort of infuriating gimmick. It's nice to have a glimmer of hope in the same act as millipede.

Never heard of this game before - why is it so massively successful? It's like 7th highest player count on steam but it looks like a cheap mobile game, what is the appeal that I'm not seeing?

>>736396392
It's fun

>>736396365
I usually tap it 2 or 3 times and then dip. Losing max HP reduces the quality of your rests, but having upgraded cards negates a lot of chip damage early on and makes it less likely that you'll need to rest, allowing you to snowball into 3+ upgraded cards early.

>>736396392
It's the sequel to the game that codified the "roguelite turn-based deck builder" genre dozens of other indies then copied

Died twice at A6 Ironclad. No idea what I'm doing wrong, as usual

>>736392329
I get so goddamn horny over that dumbass tent. It's like the perfect relic, completely by itself it's just good since you can soak a bit more damage in combat/events and keep upgrading your shit. But as soon as you get something that adds additional reasons to visit rest stops you just can't stop cumming over how fucking good the tent is. And it's good for everyone, basically the only time you MIGHT be disappointed to see it is if you're at full life and you're like 1 move away from the rest before the final boss. Love that fucking tent

>>736396584
What did you die to?

Have the devs said anything about adding alternate acts for 1-3? I'm still playing the first game until Act 4 is done

>>736392527
Your best bet is to just get generic resource gathering cards and maybe a minion card to weed out garbage from your deck until one of the real goals to build around presents itself.
You can often have two of his finishers setting up at once, especially Heavenly Drill you can just shove in any deck on the side as long as you can get a +1 energy somewhere.

>>736396365
If it hits some Defends early that's not that bad really

>>736396392
it's riding off of slay the spire 1, which is very well balanced for high difficulty, so people still play it to try and master it.
there are plenty of other indies that are more fun imo, but usually much less balanced compared to sts.

>>736396392
Fun, extremely replayable to the point where you can play the game yourself and talk about it and watch videos of it and still regularly get surprised while playing. Also the sort of thing where even if you die and lose a run you probably still had fun doing some dumb shit

They've said they're planning to keep working on alternate zones acts and characters, and only plan to do act 4 much later in development. They weren't totally happy with how they ended up implementing the heart in the original, and want to make act 4 more in-depth this time around.

Sounds like you do know what you died to

way WAY too many cards broskie. Splash is broken idk when you got it but you should have been aiming to keep replaying it as fast as possible. fuck is that solar strike doing in your deck. Adding trash to your deck just to slightly increase the damage of 1 card is ridiculous

>>736396791
I mean it's already got alternate acts but I wouldn't be surprised if they add more. I think they said at one point they wanted the player to be able to "Path acts" like choosing what your act 2 would be out of 3 options, but given we just roll into acts now I don't know if they'll even really bother. But I wouldn't be surprised if they add more acts into rotation, and of course some act 4 near the end of EA. Hell, there are already a bunch of empty epoch rewards which very well could be for more ancients and/or acts

I truly believe Mad Science is getting nerfed some time soon. There's really no reason to go for Attack or Power in that event when you can hit a Skill that costs 1 energy and generates 2 non-conditionally. It's the reason I'm shooting for events in Act 3 now.

>>736397824
Card draw and filtering is good with every build so it's almost always good to take it because you can pivot super easily.

>>736397920
Events feel much better in this game. Almost always better than going for a combat

>>736398001
Exactly, with the exception of Act 2 events are a priority in my opinion because you can get enchants and other broken stuff off of them. (Act 2 has a few events that force you to take bad cards so it's lower priority there)

Just failed a A10 regent run right at the 2nd boss
Someone hold me

>>736397920
Even attack isn't bad, can't remember the values but it was solid.

did they change test subject (beta branch)? did it always hit for 30, 40, 50, in phase 2, then like 30, 45, whatever in phase 3??? what the fuck is this shit that is 500 hp i have to get through while it swings for 30+ and it also goes intangible. IS THIS A BUG?

skill is just the reliable because you always choose 2 of 3 and both the gain 2 energy and draw 3 options are good. power with permanently upgrade a card is the best option by far, but if you miss the roll and have to choose between footwork and subroutine it can whiff for a lot of decks.
