Osty is cool because summon is damage and permanent defense. So its reliable, but you juet have to remember that it works better with the upgraded starter card, and that its always cheaper to block damage that turn than to tank it with summon. But I never got full osty, I always end up pivoting to something like ethereal and pull from below

It's early access, there's no real game. There's the earlier version and the more recent version, which happens to be more difficult and is also indicative of where the devs think (but are not yet certain) the game should be heading. Anon, there's some way you like to play in the pre-beta versions that got nerfed and you'd rather not play with those nerfs. It's a game, a toy you play with to have fun. You don't need to defend yourself from funposters. You just can't expect people to care when you want to talk about achievements but don't partake in the hardest difficulty.

Yeah I'm definitely getting better but still feels crazy
though right now i'm struggling with ironclad the most, I'm just really not feeling him in sts2. I rarely get that "ok my deck is really cracked right now" moment I do with the other characters.
>>
>>736678029
I'd go with Boomerang, Axe can be good too but it greatly depends on your starting hand, if all what you're doing is doubling an attack or skill once then it's not worth it.
Generally you want to copy a good power with it (that also stacks) to get your moneys worth.
If you have the gamblers chip, any start of game card draw relics or a small consistent deck then Axe gets much better.
>>
>>736678029
Boomerang is great, but for Hellraiser eh. Throwing axe probably. Worst case scenario it's a free turn 1 block.

>>736679876
A single copy is actually generically good in any deck.
It's basically Adrenaline on steroids that comes with a drawback.
Sometimes you won't use it early like in longer bossfights since the doom can fuck you over if you just durdle around for 10 turns but it's really good in hallway fights.
>>
>>736680027
THIS. I have a life, who cares if I want some easy runs?
>>
>>736680576
Maybe it's just a skill issue on my part then. I wind up with a tendency towards not taking the ticking clock on my healthbar, given that I tend to get into some REAL close shaves.
>>
>>736680821
3 doom per turn is nothing. Most fights are over in 4 turns.
>>
>>736680909
>3 doom per turn is nothing.
Like I said, I get into extremely close shaves. 3 doom can genuinely kill me, especially if my deck's not coming together early.

Cloning finesse as ironclad, put a bunch of bodyblows on my deck, instawin.

Cloning is fun but it also needs to change because of now if you get a little bit lucky it can be an instant win, or it can make you destroy the whole game and then you die to an act 3 boss gimmick.

Tragic loss, blood for blood was so good on act 1 (the most difficult part of sts2 btw) even without self harm synergies, you'd be getting hit for 11 and 16 often and those chip damage instances would make blood for blood a nuke on hallway fights.
Man ironclad fucking sucks now. Please rework his cards.

Clad feels like absolute dogshit and the reason why is POOR ENERGY ACCESS. Every single run i lose with Clad i have 0 access to energy never offered whatsoever. Being forced to take literal dogshit like break/goopy and all the other garbage and being energy starved = you taking 40 every encounter. Cards like bloodletting / Pyre / Forgotten Ritual/Offering are so fucking essential that every single deck that doesnt have them or good energy relics is trash. Even a fucking Sunflower or a Lantern make such a MASSIVE difference its insane

What is bionicle saying to ironbabe in the last one
>>
>>736686950
That's every character due to how the boss rewards are structured
And the game isn't balanced around 3 energy, you're required to get more value out per turn to keep up, even just in act 1
But being forced to solve energy with cards rather than relics creates a new problem where you just don't draw enough cards to have options to spend the energy, which means you also need excessive draw to match energy gen
So every build tends to result in either
>draw/energy pseudo-infinite
Or
>power spam afk simulator
Because base per-card value simply can't keep up on just 3 energy

Ironclads specific problem comes between game start and completed drawslop/power spam, he just has the worst tempo/util options among his commons and uncommons so he struggles a lot early

Regents cards are really good on average honestly, he's got a few stinkers but that's everyone

>>
>>736689674
Hellraiser doesn't give you any real power when you have nothing for it. It has to play at least 3 strikes that you can't otherwise play, to worth its oppotunity cost. It's also VERY horrible in AoE fight, you WILL die to Phrog Parasite and Phantasmal Gardeners if Hellraiser is all you have.
Pommel infinite is tempting, but realistically in A10, you're going to die before you get it.

If you manage to get it early, you actually want to pick up enegy spender like Bludgeon, Bloodwall, Flame barrier, Pillage, Shrug etc. etc.
These cards let you operate before using hellraiser and let you spend your energy effectively after playing it as well

Vicious is a realistic Hellraiser enabler. Scale yourself with Dominate, use Thunderclap, Taunt as a payoff and Bloodletting so you can keep going. Pommel is great to have, ofc, but don't be stupid and refuse to take anything else.

Not being able to choose what you exhaust, be it with toasty mittens or with cinder, just feels like COMPLETE ASS. Any experienced player worth a damn knows what it's like to have a win condition card be deleted from your deck because rng chose to fuck you over that turn, at least when you are exhausting a random card from your hand you know the risk is there but exhausting top cards from your drawpile feels like garbage.
>>
>>736691465
>but exhausting top cards from your drawpile feels like garbage.
It's not that bad if you are leaning hard into ashen strike because it is pretty easy to find multiples of it but yeah generally it's complete ass.
>>
>>736691360
I feel like in STS1 an extra act 1 elite would give me amazing stuff like kunai and a rare card like a burst and from then on I could easily pivot into an amazing shiv deck as silent.
This happens way less often in STS2, I don't get amazing relics like mummified hand nearly as often, and I also feel like elites drop less rare card rewards.

I have no hard proof because I haven't datamined but it REALLY feels like this is the case.

>>736691360
Elties are worth it before A9. A9 and A10 you just want to hit ? rooms as much as possible because elites and hard encounters take SO MUCH health
>>
>>736691562
There have been multiple runs where I have only seen ashen strike once or maybe not even seen it at all, the idea that I would lean into a toasty mitten exhaust synergy run and my only ashen strike would get exhausted and then I die to doormaker makes me seethe.

Also, if toasty mittens give you strength you want to pair it with multi-hit cards, what if your better multi-hit cards get exhausted? 5 extra strength after 5 random exhausts, you could easily have 2 of your best cards exhausted and be left with useless dogshit on your deck.
>>
>>736691465
I consider it worse for few reasons, since Ironclad has multiple cards that exhaust top card of their deck there's a chance they will add more support to controlling what goes on top deck.
Exhaust random card in your hand has no way to control AND this piece of shit costs 2 energy, so you'll have hard time clearing useful cards from your hand(to avoid Cinder hitting them) and playing it. This is why I consider beta version worse
>>
>>736691651
I find this is true more often underdocks than the Overgrowth, there have been multiple times in the Overgrowth where if I take a buldgeon the statu elite is toast, if I take awindmill strike the parasite elite is toast, if I take any good damage source the byrd dies fast enough to not hurt that much.

Meanwhile in the underdocks the skulking colony is a guaranteed 30 health loss, SPECIALLY as Ironclad, the group fight is also fucked up even if you have AoE, and oddly enough Terror Eel is the least terrifying of the elites.

Have they confirmed they'll add new cards to the characters? Or just rework the cardpools that we already have?

I don't know if every character in the game has the same amount of cards, or the same amount of commons, uncommons, and rares.

I really miss so many cards from the old Ironclad pool, entrench would be so good, reaper to heal all the lost health with self damage synergies (blood wall is fine but taking hemokinesis has killed me every time), I miss limit break, I miss corpse explosion for silent too but they did give her the AoE with fan of knives already...

>>736691562
Ashen strike seems pretty bad. I once tried filling my deck with true grits, cinders, etc only for my ashen strike to do… 20 damage. Meh… Not to mention you have to be careful to not exhaust ashen strike itself.
>>
>>736691871
God those two cards are so dogshit, just by existing and taking up space they make ironclad worse, do other characters have cards as unpickable as this? I can't think of a situation where past act 1 they don't make your deck WORSE every time.

Ashen strike is good if you have stoke, or you go for a hardcore true grit and Brand build where you exhaust all your bad cards, also fiend fire I guess, but I have a harder time making fiend fire work in this game, bby the time I manage to make sure it won't exhaust any card I want to keep, it's just too expensive.

Ironclad could benefit from some extra sourcs of energy, some of the best runs I've had with him was because I was given energy relics from Darve the hoarder.

it drew strike, bash and defends. It calculated that optimal path that will result in least damage dealt will be bashing Inklet for 1 damage to give it vuln, so it can kill it next turn with strikes, thus minimizing damage taken.

Ironclad:
-82 cards
-26 skills, 20 powers, 36 attacks

Silent:
-82 cards
-38 skills, 18 powers, 26 attacks

Regent:
-82 cards
-33 skills, 18 powers, 31 attacks

Necrobinder:
-82 cards
-31 skills, 18 powers, 33 attacks

Defect:
-82 cards
-34 skills, 20 powers, 28 attacks

All characters:
-20 commons, 35 uncommons, 25 rares, 2 ancient

In STS1 all the characters had:
-75 cards
-20 commons, 35 uncommons, 20 rares
>>
>>736693725
Hard to think they'll add any new cards, specially rares, 20 commons, 35 uncommons, and 25 rares seems like a nice round number, and STS2 already has 5 more rares in the pool than STS1, so adding new rares by having reaper or limit break come back seems less plausible.

I don't even know what to say.
This is my first ever A10, 5 wins rotating streak. And the winning run was a double snakebite poison deck that never found the accelerant it desperately needed. Flechettes+ came in clutch like 3 floors before the act 3 boss.
This is the end of a 700 hour long stage as a player. And the beginning of a new one where I try to improve my consistency.
For another 700 hours bros.

Finally beast my first A10 run. I used Regent and just made the silliest deck, particle wall with retain and music box with bombardment. Once I had the combo it really didnt matter what I drew - which was kinda boring.

These two cards need to be nerfed somehow.

that plasma was a run winner man. it allowed me to headbutt + mangles over and over. I did it like 3 times in a row, twice, saving gazillion of damage.

he's right, ideally only one slug is attacking. you want to spread damage a little bit so you can hopefully kill the second one before it gets an empowered hit in. 3 is even trickier.

The PIECE OF SHIT SLUGS and their GOD DAMN RETARDED PATTERN that makes me mad as fuck are on a fixed clock.
>1. 3x2
>2. 9
>3. inflict frail (2)
When you get in the fight they can be performing either of those attacks but never the same. That's it, their first attack is fucking random. And the problem with it being completely fucking random is that if both open with 3x2 and 9 you're eating DICK no matter what you do because your starting deck for faggots can't deal 27~29 damage in one turn.
So, what do you do?
>attack the one doing 3x2 so on the next turn the one doing 9 will be inflicting frail and you have a few turns to kill it
congrats, you ate 14 dicks to the face
>triple defend (if you draw it)
Then on the next turn the left one will (9) and the right one will frail without advancing the fight in any way. And since you can't deal 29 damage in one turn, you'll deal some damage, eat 9, then on the next turn kill the slug that now is doing 3x2, and have two turns for the left one. So congrats, you ate 14 damage

It's not like having a 3x2 and a frail is much better, because even if you block some damage and kill the debuffing slug over the course of two turns, the left one is doing 9 then FOURTEEN fucking damage, and on the third turn, you guessed it, you're still frail, so you're eating more damage like a faggot
And this is assuming you can chain perfect lethals and the random HP of the enemies doesn't align in a way that you're missing 1 damage somehow. For an "easy" pool encounter that encounter can fuck you up miserably.

Low ascension only, maybe and only maybe pickable if you have a good discard/exhaust engine.
Act 1 is too important to get your run going to weigh it down with a permanent curse and you can still get fucked by Act 2 mapgen. It's just too much risk to take.

I can 100% see how someone may get frustrated with ascender's bane fucking over your draws or card remove costs being super expensive on top of gaining less gold already.

In STS2 I don't care but in STS1 it too me a long while to stop screeching in anger any time I drew ascender's bane, and some of the most satifying decks to play where a consequence of removing all my shit cards and designing my deck exactly as I wanted, so that being less possible can also suck.

That toxic egg at the start made this run a breeze.
Kinda annoying that the one run I got Chemical X was the one I didn't get Stardust though.

If I see these, I click them

>Eradicate
>End of Days
>Bone Shards
>Fetch
>Putrefy
>Enfeebling Touch
>Hang
>Defile
>Sow
>Grave Warden
>Demesne
>Neurosurge
If I see these, I think about clicking them
>Dirge
>Negative Pulse
>Veilpiercer
>Borrowed Time
>Friendship
>Fear
>Debilitate
>Pull aggro
>Reap
>Scourge
>Invoke

Obviously some of these are rares, but they're the ones that tend to work well without requiring other cards, or work well with common cards. But it ultimately depends on the state of my deck.

huge nerf
>>
>>736704754
We all knew Acrobatics had to die
1 energy go +2 and do the thing Silent wants to do was too good at a common level
It's still probably the strongest card in the game at uncommon
>>
>>736704675

Hmmm yeah ok. I dunno.

I had a pretty good act 1 with grapple and rage once. Rest in peace, will be remembered fondly.

PLEASE apply Vulnerable now, I promise you it's a good archetype and not a meme

>>736705028
You get that run modifier effect that lets you choose between any node (regardless of what your previous path was) so you can go from the leftside of the map to the other side
>>
>>736704939
I made grapple work once, so I'm a little sad to see it go
Not that sad though, I can still juggernaut and colossus is easier to get

Long time coming honestly
What did they move down to common to replace it
It better do fucking damage
>>
>>736705172
>>What did they move down to common to replace it
>Reworked Follow Through card: "Uncommon - Attack - Cost 1 | Deal 6(8) damage to ALL enemies. If the last card you played this turn was a Skill, apply 1(2) Weak to ALL enemies." -> "Common - Attack - Cost 1 | Deal 7(9) damage. If you have 5 or more other cards in your Hand, hits an additional time.
It's fucking shit
>>
>>736704675
Living Fog was cancer and just unfun, I'm glad they nerfed it again. A few threads back someone asked what enemy was getting nerfed next and I said that one. Huh, maybe megacrit are browsing this place.

I feel like 1 cost 10 hp would be too much but at the same time reaper used to often times heal more than 10 or hell even 20 in big group fights, and you could double tap it too to heal even more, Clad doesn't have burst...

Maybe if the upgrade reflected more what blocking with two defends is like, so upgrading to 16 hp rather than 10 hp, hell, at least 15 hp heal would be nice...

does Silent only have two sources of weak now? Subtle nerf for tracking.

>>736705367
4, she's fine. And she still has piercing wail. Her starting weak card upgrades to 2 weak, leg sweep is 2 weak, and sucker punch is common and upgrade to 2 weak. Also inky shivs.
>>
>>736704675
>not reverting changes to Borrowed Time
Not sure how I feel about that. Is card removal still absurdly expensive?
>>
>>736705028
It only works horizontally, but it means you can jump across nodes from one side of the map to the other even if they aren't connected. Usually this is good for hunting down more fires/elites than normal but also lets you do stuff like take a normally risky path and dodge it if fights go poorly.
>>
>>736705468
oh yeaaaaah, forgot about the inky shivs, okay perfect
>>
>>736705474
why would they change borrowed time again? it's pretty good now and plays with her various high cost cards and dance macabe

LOL we officially Ironcrap now.

>>736704675
I'm so glad they didn't change the new borrowed time, I absolutely love the way it works now
>>
>>736705237
>easy condition
>outdamages almost every single ironclad common even when factoring in vulnerable(you pay 2 energyfor it during act 1)
cool
>>
>>736705570
I think I'm just a sucker for easy energy cards. It is probably fine as is.

I'm glad megacrit are balancing the game based on their own internal data instead of listening to the pros. Their complains are worthless for the 90% of the playerbase.

I actually watched a video of some nigger saying they needed to increase the difficult because even someone like him who only had 50 hours in the game was getting a10 streaks
Just to later on say how he had 4000 hours in spire 1
Holy fuck man just go play something else

Scrape.
Nunchaku or any of the other ninja relics.

Strike dummy, lighter, any relics that benefit off 0 costs really. Ideally you've already removed a strike by this point

why are the stats so much shittier than self repair or reaper? Wow I get to heal the same amount that playing 2 defends would save me in hp for 2 cost. And shittier than upgraded defends.
