Play Slay the Spire 2 with me
>>736998074I'll just wait until it's $10 and never touch online features.
Multiplayer is fun, but I'd rather progress on climbing my own spire.
>>736998074id hope to like this game but i guess im not into card games. in the same week i played this i was on my 300th hour of mewgenics

>>736998830I stopped playing Mewgenics at around 120 hours when StS2 came out to play it instead. Haven't gone back yet because the cat management UI is such a pain in the ass. Fix it, Steakmund.
Doormaker has gone full circle and is now the easiest act 3 boss
With Reflect, you can block everything.
>>736999063China won
yea I think I'll try climbing to A10 with regent firstit feels like he has so many options to scale
Bless you two Negro Necros for the carry
Finally got my first Skelly win after like 12 consecutive losses. Turns out it's piss easy to go infinite with her. I've gone to a4 with Regent mostly off of Void Form, I fucking love that card.
>>736999767fur coat made the final act free
>>736999831that was the thing which oneshotted elites?
>>736999851marks 7 locations on the map where enemies and elites are set to 1hp
>>736999063Honestly I don't think any of the act 3 bosses are hard. In the first game you could get hard countered by one of them and you had to think a bit but these ones you can just unga through. I have more issues getting through mr. Krabs most of the time.
>put corrupted on ashen strike>nearly kill myself with hellraiser cycling it over and overi may not be a clever man, but i still run that won with 2 hp left
I only played multi with my IRL friend and we had to use voice chat to communicate with each other to maximise our combos.
>>736999954Is there voice chat in game?
>streaman to nobody to archive my VODs to review later>someone pops in the chat and asks to send a multiplayer run>sure, why not>have a nice time, stomp on silent/necrowas fun not sure if they lurk these threads but ggs
Check out this beautiful lightning deck I got on a break from Regent. Defect is super fun, but Regent is just a bit cooler, and I don't like having to grind ascension levels on new characters after I already beat A9/A10.
>>736999930>need hemokinesis to get lethal>drew hemokinesis when I am about to die (4hp)>use it as soon as I drew it>forgot that I buffed it with corrupted and I killed myself
>>737000004I don't think there's an ingame option for that, we called ourselves on our phones because he doesn't have discord.

>>736998334The ascension progression for mp is separate from sp so it doesn't really effect anything
>>736999063>Walk into Doormaker bitching about how much I hate the fight>kill him in 5 turns with no damageMy high ascensions are being raped by Test Subject instead. 'Whoops all multi-hits' was fucking malicious.
>get to end of A10 again>get test subject into queen or vice versa again>can't scale fast enough on second fight and somehow manage to lose like one turn from victory every time because intangible phase and the retarded bound debuff fucks my shit upI think I'm too dumb to actually win it.
>>737001858Some says that if you can beat a9, you can beat a10, but I find the extra boss fight really challenging. Decided to practice A9 for a longer while before returning to A10 to reduce the frustration
>>737001708>Test SubjectBy far the hardest boss in the current beta patchHe kinda just hits you really, really hard.Which as it turns out can kill a lot of runs
>>737000021>In multiplayer>Corrupted Tear Asunder to kill myself but also deal big damage between this and my 2x Inferno>The moment your HP hits 0 you stop doing damage to the enemyI do not have a reaction gif for my emotions at the time.
>>737001978You can also draw your best damage cards on intangible turn making fight unnecessary long(that increases chance of dying), at least doorman gives you free turn to set up
>>737001945A9 is the biggest jump in difficulty and basically acts as a wall. Even in A10, the hardest part is still getting to the act 3 bosses. If you can over come A9, then A10 is very doable. But that isnt to say double bosses is easy though.
clone Delay - it's not good, but it's servicable.being able to flawless the doorman even at at A1 is still impressive in my bookthe fight was like 20 turns though...

Reposting a funny combo I found:>bombardment>music box (copies bombardment)>void form (makes the copy free to play)>>737002439I heard it's more rare than other boons. I only got it once or twice and never with a card that would be fit for it

So I've been playing this game for couple days now, never touched the first one but having lots of fun still in spite of losing all the fucking time. I just keep playing on random selection and slowly go up the ascensions trying to learn all the characters and the disparity between them is starting to grow pretty quick. I'm at A6 on Necro/Defect A5 on Silent A3 on Regent and completely and utterly hardstuck A2 on Ironclad. I feel like I have no clue what I'm doing with the last two most of the time. Silent/Defect/Necro sort of seem to build themselves, tons of options for each with most of them working great. Most success on Regent was with the forge setups, I tried building around making/spending stars as well but I'm probably not doing it right, it never really goes anywhere. And wtf do I do with Ironclad, please help. The two wins I had were with Hellraiser which just made it into autobattler deck basically once it got going and then with the cards for block not disappearing across turns and getting double block which ended up just facetanking everything. All other attempts I either die somewhere mid-run or scrape to the last boss and get destroyed. Not really sure what should I be going for, I tried building around vulnerable and exhaust as that seems what devs wanted me to do but it was shit and seeing people have consistent winrates with Ironclad makes me think its just skill issue and there actually are some solid setups that I'm missing. But enough blogging tbqh, game is very good and even chain-losing is pretty enjoyable and it makes the time pass quickly. Fuck Ironclad though.
>>737002781Burning blood should trigger at the start of a fight
>>737002904Ironclad is the worst and people getting winsteak on him just savescum
>>737001858Clearing A10 is heavily dependent on how your first of two boss fights go, and if you have a healing relic or not. Eat shit for either one? Tough luck
I finally finished A10 on all characters and can now start playing the main game: beta branch and arguing about balance changes.
What an utterly ridiculous deck.I'm starting to enjoy ironclad in this game, even if I'm still bad at him.
>>737003164I have more issues with Regent who I feel has like 4 good cards at most than I have with Clad.
>>737004041Stars win games. Stardust, Radiate, Glow.Minions are a supplement. trim your deck, but it's not a full archetype without Arsenal.Forge is a last resort, Bulkwark is the only consistent Forge card. The powers getting buffed does help.Colorless card creation.
2 questionsIs true grit a trap for Ironclad or it's great in an heavily gimmicked deckDO you always heal at camps or upgrade
>>737004041I beat A9 and 10 back to back with colourless Regent. Best common is probably Begone!: Remove Strikes, remove curses, trigger 'when you create' effects, plus 17 damage is okay for 2 early.
>>737003164>>737002904Ironclad emo build is the only consistent build in StS2.Exhaust build is lacking the cards that do things when exhausted, and the fact Howl puts itself back into your deck is an insult, since you can't even exhaust your way down to five block cards and just keep blocking every turn.Vulnerable synergy can be surprisingly good and then you get experiment as your act 3 boss and might as well kill yourself.Demon Form and Barricade are both too slow in the faster format so a lot of the middle of the road builds feel like shit.
>>737004280True grip is a great card because exhausting cards to great, to thin down decks. Doubly great for ironclad because he has some exhaust synergy. Kinda needs to be upgraded.Upgrade when you can, heal when you need to. Plan ahead. If you are fighting a boss or elite soon, heal up. If you have some easy hallways before your next camp, and you are above 50% hp, you can greed for an upgrade.
>>737004475yeah so far am good with silent but Ironclad I don't really understand the combos besides the setup strike
>>737004576> besides the setup strikeOne card I never picked or will ever pick, what a piece of shit
>>737004441Break is the only thing keeping Ironclad in the running right now, and you can't often get it.
Bullet time cloned scythe, wish me luck
>>737004280True grit is amazing upgraded in almost any ironclad deck as it allows you to pare down your deck, removing terrible cards so you don't redraw them. Healing at campfires is the worse but safer option, upgrades permanently make your deck stronger.
>>736998074I only play video games with actual design, not rogueslop dogshit.
>>737003619Another win. So far I'm>Loss loss win loss winThis deck was fucking funny man. Just exhaust and draw infinite cards and play a bunch of 0 cost souped up strikes and block and win and blap and kill and I legitimately survived because I took the giant mushroom event and happened to get the Phantograph. I would've won without the phantograph but NOT the extra HP. Duplicating my deck was clutch, having 2x of every good power carried the act 3 bosses.Also howl from beyond is not as bad as I thought.Please move dark embrace to uncommon.
>>737004898here's your (you) since you felt lonely
>>737004576Are you playing the beta branch? Clad is a lot better after the changes, he's very weak in the main patch
>>737005161I switched for an MP game here yeah. I'll try him on beta I guess, any up for a game?

>>737004705my a10 win rate with him is like 85% after 20 runs and I've skipped break twice. It's not that good of a pick compared to other ancient relics.
>>737005161Not really. My win rate is worse on beta with clan since doorfaggot is still harder than the live patch and I've lost to him a coupe times. He's not weak on the main patch at all, you just don't know how to play him and keep parroting shit you hear from others.

i keep getting tricked by deck builds that completely wipe the floor with hallway fights in 1 or 2 turns only to lose to the boss because it takes too long to kill it
>>737005572Kaiser crab is a harder fight with the back attack bullshit from shield/spire. Unless you are playing something that can deal damage without attacking.
>>737005641aoe is a crutch
>>737005480Still haven't played coop so stuck at A0, otherwise would join
Lunar blast (dmg per skill played) and make it so (dmg every 3 skills played) is a puzzling combo to me. What is the intended deck for using it? Just particle wall with tons of stars or what?
>>737005268That's rough, buddy.
>>737006008Make it so is just free extra damage if you're spamming skill. Most of the time you won't even waste a draw on it since it add itself to the hand from your deck
>>737006149Yeah, but I don't that many spammable skills on Regent. The two O mana, 1-2 stars cards come to my mind, and nothing else. Maybe some lucky colorless card gen, too, but that's very random.
>>737006008orbit + blue dot + monologue (+ convergence)and a bunch of star gain and 0 cost star cardsthen you just giga cycle play your whole hand and nukekinda like flechettes but backward
If I could have sex with a card it would be this one.
oof gg, god damn Subject
necro seems so busted in theory but every time i play this character i dieunironically have twice as good a winrate with regent
>>737006682It was my fault, I accidentally duped folly 6 times and turns out beacon of home doesn’t stack with itself. I also drew 2 bad luck in second hand despite having 100 cards
>>737006754nah I kept trying to exhaust howl from beyond and it never came
>>737004441Emo build grinds you down so damn quickly though. Vulnerable sucks because they removed shockwave so your only aoe vuln is... lmao Thunderclap. Vuln is so incredibly deficient as an archetype for aoe that you have to staple a whole nother archetype onto it to actually win the run, at which point I'd rather just chase strength instead and take maybe one extra vuln card instead.
I don't know how people can do run after run after run. For me, I can do like 2 runs then I have to take a break. Then again, I never got past like A7 or A8 in slay the spire 1 either.
>>736998830>>736998950I got to like 90 hours in Mewgenics before playing STS2 and now I am not sure which I want to play more. I like both, but in Mewgenics I need to beat act 3 and I really fucking hate act 3. In STS2 I am still in low ascensions
I still had all my winged boots charges left in act 3 so I took parasol because my deck was an atrocity anyway and I had snecko eye. Sometimes terrible pile of cards + snecko eye just does the trick, you know?
>>737006883Thunderclap with Vicious online is good shit
>>737006873I still blame Vakuu
>>737007052fucking hilarious post because it rings truealso parasol is a life saver, when you have a SHIT pile of cards whatever the fuck the game gifts you helps, people haven't truly made it to act 3 before with dogshit decks, they must've died on the way up
Anyone hosting?
I am not braindead! I know I had five acros. I know I had three adrenalines. One with imbued. As if I ever normally have such luck. Never. Never! I'm just - I'm just very clever. I - I considered each hand, I rolled that idiot Vakku and still got by. You think that was easy? That? That no-hit A10 run? It wasn't. My draw engine! Are you telling me four gambles just happen to drop like that? No! I earned them! Skillfully! I defecated on the door man. And I was humble! And I shouldn't have been. I rallied my brain cells every turn! How hard were YOU thinking? No respect. No respect! Ever since the first patch, always nerfs! Can't keep their hands off my sly cards! But never Defect! Nothing wrong with our precious Defect! Run solved by floor nine! And he gets access to hologram!? What a sick joke! I should've sent feedback when I had the chance. And you! You've got to buff me.

>>737009340Just switched to the beta branch and would have been a perfect first run if I managed to get a hellraiser and of course 3rd form with the immediate intangible and 12x3 damage I draw no wishes, no master of strats, no pommel strikes and none of my block cards with 35 HP left. First time trying the new doorman caught me off guard I probably could have avoided more damage there.

>>737009828Whoever was the Ironclad, how did you get 98 strength or whatever it was? I thought you could only do that kind of strength with limit break in 1.
I'm sure nothing could go wrong with this
>>7370099243 Dominate and reptile trinket, I drank all my 5 potions at the end
>>737007735well done anon
I can confidently say that card creation is way stronger on Regent rn compared to stars. There's literally no need for accumulation of stars or even energy at times since Minion cards are all 0-cost now. Blocking is extremely free and seamless, and you don't even need to rely on the star cards for Weak ane Vulnerable. I've had good card creation runs at launch but at lower ascensions, it feels good to see more people being introduced to this archetype now. Stars is so grossly overrated, and Large Capsule feels pretty good at least on Clad and Regent imo.

>>737010993Yep, didn't even have the rare scaling stuff like Regalite and Arsenal. You can get plenty of good stuff in the common and rare pools. Guards is very premium but it's not a must-have either, and Crash Landing speeds up hallways mostly or used for a big Block turn on bosses if necessary. It's both energy and stars efficient, and works well with good Colourless cards you often find in shops and events.
>>737011497>SneckoStopped reading there, it's always the pick.

I can't speak for beta (waiting until I beat a10 with every character first), but I made it to a10 with clad only losing two runs, so I was surprised to see you guys saying he's ass on main branch. For reference, I forced Hellraiser 9/10 times. Even if you don't get it, a thin deck with some premium block cards and pommel strike+(s) is a good base.

>>737009998My issue is the lack of energy going full creation memes for unupgraded colorless cards. I always feel energy starved with that archetype unless I pull star creation for alignment or orbit.

>>736998074I played about 50 hoursGot to ascension 10 with all charactersWhat now
>>737015553multiplayer is fun. wait for the final version to come out with act 4 and more ascensions.
How do you think they will tackle multiplayer?>duo too hard>whole team is too easy>Regent and Defect are worthless in multiplayer>if they make 3+ player harder it will just be Silent, Necro and Ironclads only
>Regent and Defect are worthless in multiplayerwas he joking around or just trolling? what did he mean by this?
>>737015806They are. They provide no utility and don’t synergise with anyone
>>737015806he simply doesn't understand the power of comet
>>737015614and still uncracked
>>737015869>no utility>discounting his weak, vuln, and strength decreasing cards as well as handing out retain swords to the party(You)
fuck off, i'm just here to danse
i wanna use more reskin mods for the characters and cards but why is the selection so SHIT mesugaki regent unironically is the best one though, including orchis but she doesn’t work online fsr
>>737015746Defect is bad because his orbs don't work with Flanking, Knockdown, Vul, Debilitate.Regent is okay. his big sword can always be available for Flanking/Kockdown turn. That's the main selling point of him in multiplayer.Silent / Necro > Ironlad / Regent >> Defect
>>737016132To enable mods online, you can try going into the mod .json file and changing "affects_gameplay" from true to false. It may cause desyncs though if the mod actually does affect gameplay.
I've been playing it with my nephew. I'm beginning to think we should skip elites.
>>737015986Yes, he has vuln and weak but he has weakest strength deceasing cards compare to Clad, Silent and Necro. His sword is not that good. Necro and Silent have insane utility, in boosting damage of party or decreasing enemy damage output while Ironclad scales so insanely with Vuln he can easily gain 20+ strength out of ass
stop bullying defect he has energy surge and ignition
>get through act 1>start getting clobbered act 2>diehmm..
Multiplayer is easy as is. I don't like Flanking, Knockdown or Debilitate in multiplayer specifically because you can basically always use them and they make the game too easy, even if big numbers can be fun sometimes.In the first place, Silent and Necro are the worst in multiplayer because Sly/Soul builds take fucking ages to finish their turns, even if they're objectively the strongest. I feel guilty whenever I make everyone else wait for me to play them, so I mostly stick to Regent and Defect.
Genesis, Royalties, or Heavenly Drill for this weird deck? Neither seems fitting
>>737017371with refine blade and cosmic indifference you have the potential to set up big drills
you vs the robot she tells you not to worry about
>>737017371Royalties, maybe? You have nothing to spend stars on, and I think you're already committing too hard with Conqueror to justify Drill. You'll probably want to fish for something at a shop.

any general tips on how to play? stuff like>how many cards are too many>which events to avoid>best way to play regent because forge is fucking trash>tackle elites for relics whenjust general stuff? because this game is fucking rage-inducing
>Bombardment plays from exhaust pile at the start of the turn.>Music box makes ethereal copy of your first attack each turn.>Which exhausts, adding another bombardment.Vaaku is useless like 50% of the time, but other half is shit like this.
>>737018020>>how many cards are too manyReally depends on the deck, but if you're going 30 or above you're probably doing something wrong>which events to avoidMost events you can't avoid, really. But events rarely fuck you over. >best way to play regent because forge is fucking trashStars, easily. Spam stars and play lots of star cards. Forge sucks unless you get an extremely specific deck>tackle elites for relics whenThat's a complicated question, there's youtube analysis videos that can help you with what elites you might face in what level and how your deck should look like for facing them.As a general rule if you're struggling with corridor fights, your deck probably isn't ready for elites.
>>737018020You can't really avoid events. There's so many strong ones in StS2 though that you should consider taking them if a bunch show up on a route.
>>737018020No real answer as it depends on the charachter/build. Only add cards that help you in the short run and don't aim for any specific build, stop adding cards when you have what you need.Since you don't know what events you get, this is also Impossible to answer, just try to get a couple and think of what helps you the most, don't rely on them.Star generation and expensive star cards, also minion cards to thin your deck.When you have decent block/damage and maybe a potion to help, i've had a lot of success avoiding elites in Act 3

>>737015746IMO they just need to rebalance some specific fights, like quad eels, millipede, and Test Subject's Phase 1. All easily countered if you have the right deck in single player but in multiplayer they're just an utter nightmare.

>>737019295Me and my friends usually just reset if we get the quad eels as our early elite fight. Even on low ascension it is just not possible to shit out enough damage to kill them before they kill you.

Winged Boots are the best starting relic at A10. (You) cannot refute this.
>>737021808gg lads
gg (A0). Didn't know Perfect: No damage against 3 bosses was a medal
I think those 2 robots with like 14 artifact we fought in act 1 are the hardest fight in multiplayer. Since debuffs are so strong. The bosses are less of a threat.GG.

Got bing bong pretty early and then no new pee pee gave me glam so the run became crazy. I almost killed doormaker on a single turn during his no-draw phase with a bloodletting+cascade combo where both had replay. Did like 400 damage to him. Cascade is definitely a great card for that phase.
just remove all your basics and gg
>>737023430That last shop with orrery is where the run really went crazy. I wasn't sure I would survive until then. I think phial holster will get nerfed at least on higher ascensions where the interaction with the foul potion event is just too good

>>737025021Why is your deck so chunky? You're severely lacking card draw for such an obese deckSealed Throne should've been a free win.
>>737025320I mean I won, but there's no way I would've won A10. Regarding draw, I took what I was offered, the seed was rough (I'm also bad).
>>737025482A10 is not as crazy as you might think.Being healthy at the boss is the most important part. Infinites will autowin you the run. Blade is also pretty strong now on Beta. Are you playing main or beta?
>>737025606Beta. I feel like I'm constantly hemorrhaging health as Regent and healing at most of my campfires unless my deck is busted.

I can't put Vigor 8 on the StardustIt's over I fucking threw
>>737025693One thing that made me win more as him is prioritizing block, but not ANY block. I usually shop a lot on him to find as many Colorless Block (Finesse/Equilibrium are so good on him) and block relics as possible. A lot of his common blocks are bait and just clog your deck. Also DO NOT take elites if you don't have pots to deal with most of them. Unless you have a good AoE card, you're just asking to get buttfucked by the eels on Act 1.Your best way to block is thru powers like Parry and Child of the stars. Blade feels better now, but Stars is still stronger desu.
Corrosive Wave is fucking ass as a skill it should be a power
>>737026079Power would be too op, but with acrobatics being moved to uncommon it should at least get a number boost by one to be competitive. Seeing it as a rare reward is always painful, but not as bad as seeing grand finale
You fags underestimate creation Regent.Open your minds and embrace the truth of the one true god, and your A10 winstreak is within your reach.
Revenge failed. What a waste of time tonight. My deck was fully upgraded but still got me killed because I did not have enough draw to overcome Chains of Binding
>>737026326those two runs did feel a bit cursedalways missing combo enabling pieceswell get em another time though
>>737025984I haven't been able to get a stars deck working in beta branch since they changed a bunch of regent's cards (A10)i've had the most success with card creation / destruction mixed with blade and using stars purely for debuffs>>737026293tyranny + spectrum shift is so good
god this run felt so fucking good. used greed money for early chem x and dirge with enough leftover for anchor. squeeze synergizing with ivory tile, very hot cocoa to dump into the x cost cards or to play squeeze and still play other cards. bag of marbles for the giga turn one. energy out the fucking ass. my squeezes were hitting for 144 with vuln
I want to install mods for single player but turn them off for multi... would I need to delete the folder/verify file integrity every time I wanted to go online? And consequently, install the mods every time I want to play with them
>>737011693*common and uncommon I mean, not rare. Rare options are premium.
I just don't see how to win with Necro unless I have a Squeeze or a perfect set up with Eradicate

'hwat
I just beat A9 Ironclad, finally. it only took a 3 busted relics and several lucky camps/potions.>A10 is fighting two bossesGenuinely, how the fuck are you supposed to do that? is it at the same time or is it one after the other? If it's the latter, then I hope to hell you get a free heal.
>>737031367>then I hope to hell you get a free heal.lollmao
>>737031409is the strategy for A10 to just get lucky and get a god build with perfect routes?
>>737031584Its hope to god you find a heal relic and don't bad draw at the end of an A9 run. Plenty of runs that win A9 easily end up kneeling to A10 because of it
>>737031367are you attempting to do it taking only his worst cards or something
>>737015424You can get Orbit, Automaton, or Production I guess. You can also specialize more in 0-cost cards. For this run I never felt energy-starved honestly, nor star-starved.
>>737031632I work with what god gives me.
Why did they make her such a brat :3
>Play Discovery>Get Void FormOh, I guess I win
>>737031701>>737015424Discovery also fixes energy issues. Typically, you can already block a ton, so just need enough damage to kill fast before you run out of fuel to transform. Simply having 1-2 copies of Manifest Authority+ already works pretty well.
>>737031584Yes and no.The top players can still get amazingly consistent winrates so you do know that they're doing something much better than you are. It seems like the rest of us can only hope to highroll.I think that A7 is the biggest culprit since rare cards often pivot your deck one way or another. Like, you could have a powerful Status deck on Defect. You have Smokestack, you have Gunk up, compact, all your good shit. Trash to treasure or Flak Cannon would be the cherry on top, but you just don't find it. Tracking, Shadow Step, and Knife Trap can easily help you scale your damage on Silent. What else can you do? Get a billion Accuracies?Even by fighthing elites, you're unlikely to find anything worthwhile, and they're supposed to BE the way to help you scale easier with gold, relics and rares.A9 I hope gets reworked into challenging movesets like the original A17-19 from the original game. The damage increase in the enemies is very noticeable, and it essentially turns the entire game into fucking detroit.
>>737031723Cannon Regent is not even a warrior or something like that, he comes from a race that knows prosperity and peace but he just wants to catch some fucking hands.
Do you think she makes Osty fondle her breasts?
>>737031367You get a free heal between bosses if you happen to pick up the Pentagram relic during your run.
>>737031367You fight one boss, then you fight the next boss right after. No rewards or heals or anything. Once you get to Act 3 you’ll see which two bosses and what order you’ll fight them.I do believe Pantograph should heal you for both fights but I’m not 100% sure since I haven’t tested it. It does heal you for both in StS1 though, as my reference so keep an eye out for that. Other than that, yeah good luck. Just gotta spire like you’ve never spired before

Also I don't know if any of this is warranted right now with how volatile the current state of the game is, not to mention how we are all playing in the latest beta patch
>>737032241>not basing her on Wiz Idiots
>>737032739Yeah he updated her pose and gave her a splash screen
>>737032995too slow and people wont read it if you are in a battle.would be better to be able to ping things like cards or enemies if a chat scares you that badly.

You should be able to see all of the enemy's future attacks by hovering over their intention. Like the battle window in FFX. It's lame savescumming fights just to learn attack patterns for later runs.

Does tungsten rod just make Inferno not work?
>>737034181Yes unless you have two infernos
>>737034207darn, well at least it still triggers on his regular cards like hemokinesis and bloodletting.
>>737033509On ascension 20 or something, right?
>top streamers claim that upgrade strike+defend is better than silver crucibleThis might be true but I reject this reality.

>>737034398I dont even know what ascension meansI played STS1 for like 8 hours and this one for around 30 so far
Finally a cool Necro Mastery run. Big damage build on Necro is still the best way to deal damage though but Necro Mastery and Reanimate help stabilize until I can unleash Eradicate without compromising on DPS every turn. And Necro Mastery is godly in hallways, feels a bit like Fan of Knives in that respect.
Stacking Uproars can be pretty good if you can ditch most of your StrikesManaged to botch the run anyways and died on the Queen though though, would've savescummed if I realized I had one too few Buffers
Even with some godly relics and the worlds easiest climb to the top almost got obliterated by the new doorman after really shitting on queen. >First turn invincible surprisingly annoying. >Please block 40 damage every single turn while also doing damage>Draws disabled>Energy drained>Everything exhausted.>no breaksThey really just said "oh your deck plays cards? how about fuck you
>>737027542Stars and Convergence are so overrated on The Regent. Card creation is both faster and higher DPS without requiring a lot of resources. Forge is also very strong but a bit slow and reliant on rares.>>737033285Energy spam is the way to play Necro atm. I'd imagine she'd be really strong with Helix Drill from Defect. You can make a huge spending turn and cap off with that Attack. Shared Fate stonks keep dipping as Danse rises lulz
>>737034708Its easy to get fucked by bad draws but Doorman goes likeTurn 2 - Get rid of shit you don't wanna see again this fight anywaysTurn 3 - If you could set something up the previous turn or retain your hand then great, if not then just deal with whatever you drewTurn 4 - Play like two cards and pass unless you're Regent or have a ton of autoplay shit going onTurn 5 - Go nuts, if you don't get him near dead here you're probably fucked anyways>>737034740Stars aren't slow with Royal Gambles in play but other than that Regent is often turtley in general since lots of his cards revolve around setting up the next turn and recycling.
How double tap works with Thrash?
>>737034540You're not going to like this but a vanilla run is kinda like the tutorial. After you complete a run and reach the architect you unlock a level of ascension each time until you hit A10. Each level slaps you with an annoying new modifier to make your life harder on that run until A10 where you fight two bosses in a row.Its not particularly easy and I feel strongly that not every run is possible with the RNG but it certainly teaches you to use resources efficiently. Ive gotten raped on the second final boss a lot of times and it sucks.You can "cheat" ascension levels because for some reason you can unlock them while doing custom runs so you just turn on deck draft, flight, big game hunter etc and breeze through the levels. I have done this for Regent after reaching A10 with everyone else because i really dont feel like doing A7-8-9 yet again before going for 10.
>>737034846Pretty brutal considering he was the easiest boss before. I had 90HP going into doorman fight and left with 9 after 5 turns because I whiffed two turns of blocks, literally only won because I had two subroutines active with 3 smokestacks and managed to squeeze out JUST enough damage in time.
>>737034846You still need to get enough stars to use Royal Gamble first, so it's not that fast desu. Stars just feels a bit too draw-order and upgrade reliant, imo. Not that card creation doesn't need upgrade, but it's mostly the Colourless one that really wants upgrades, Minions are fine with trickled or minimal upgrades.
>>737034875>You're not going to like this but a vanilla run is kinda like the tutorialNo I understand completely and I embrace it, I just started reading articles and shit on how to elevate my play, I've been mostly blind playing it so far
ggs ironclad bro
>>737035114Excellent game good sir, a lot of tag team actionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm-MACJEH1c
Watch me somehow fumble this anyway
Lmao, if you kill the Parafright with Mangle, the strength loss is permanent.
>>737033509>>737034540>>737035051See the Silent, Play the Silent, Love the Silent.That's uh, quite the record you got there though. At least you're (hopefully) having fun though, right?. Keep at it champ, you got this. you could always ask for tips here, but learning as you go is also completely valid
>>737035242make sense, damn that's basedfucking hate this piece of shit
Spiral + Upgraded Defend + Fasten, is really worth not taking the 20 HP heal. It's actually absurd how much value you can get with Fasten. I wouldn't be surprised if it became a rare.
>>737035242NIIIIICE
5 runs in a row haven’t seen single battle trance. Worst was when I had reroll branch and it literally kept giving me same fucking shit cards over and over again.
>>737035609>go at least as many runs without seeing barricade>but tripping over blood walls/flame barriers/impervious
>>737032241>coom addict weebs try to not sexualise everything challenge: impossible
>>737031584>>737031367>>737031584I'm starting with the A9/A10 runs for Clad and Silent on the main branch.The main issue with STS2 is the lack of actual scaling for your characters and the HP+scaling blot for enemies (say for example Act 3 hallways go from 32/36 scrolls to 170 Frog/Cultist with permanent block or str gain, mecha knight has 300 HP)Only very very few cards and relics enable you scale but even then you might lose the scaling race due to bad draw order.At A10 each floor it's an attrition battle to find the cards you need to beat the act boss
>>737035242yeah it works with piercing wail tooye olde timelord purge exploit
>>737035831Necro and silent are women so there’s nothing wrong with sexualising them
A9 isn't fun. I don't know how to win with this dude.
>>737035921Yet the first one you weirdos did was regent
fuzzy wurm crawler needs correction very badly
>>737034846>>737034951Stars are fundamentally turtle-based. In Act 1 you usually spend them when you get them to play cards better than strike or defend but once you have some uncommon and rare cards then stars quickly become the "resource of last resort" because the powerlevel scales like crazy with star cost. Every card that costs 3+ stars is really good (except Resonance), and the ones that cost 5+ are fight-ending/fight-warping.Playing a single high starcost card is always better than playing several low starcost cards - Royal Gamble isn't a gamble it's an instant win for doing what stars inherently reward you for doingThrow in Sealed Throne/Touch of Orobas/Electric Shrymp and you have a deck that starts at the finish line.
>>737035958Regent is a royal brat so there's nothing wrong with sexualizing him
>>737024780Yesterday I had a silver crucible regent run that was so strong I raped 4 elites on act 1.My first three cards were>Devastate>Convergence>Hidden cache
>>737036013you wouldn't
>>737035935energy + drawor powersthat deck looks pretty good your tempos just really low, you lack ramp
how do you guys do so much elites on higher ascensions (6+)>goes into an act 1 elite>loses like 20-30+ HP>unless the act 1 boss is a pushover for my current deck I will now have to burn 1 (2 if my RNG sucks ass) rest site to heal
I tried so hard, but it didn't even matter...
>>737036356Crab is fucking worst boss in the game
>>737036395I don't dislike the crab, he has hardly ever been a problem for me. I spent all of act 1 and 2 running around on low hp, I didn't even get to upgrade once. That's really what I meant by trying so hard. I just failed to make a decent deck by the time I reached the crab.
>>737036395act2-wise yesthe queen is the worst boss in the game.
>>737034708To be fair you don't have that many block cards (9) for a 41 card deck. Two of them exhaust even.Or better said, you have 8 powers if I'm counting right, so on your first deck cycle while you set up you're going to have a harder time finding block. After you set up you should find your block more reliably which is why the queen fight was so smooth for you, as she didn't interrupt your cycling all that much besides the binding. And the first 2 turns the lamp minion is a fucking wimp that does nothing, and you have boot sequence and boat relic #2 to solve them.Goatseman actively stops your drawing, makes your boot sequence useless with first turn invulnerability, the fight is a fucking mess. The energy reduction turn is cancer, even if I've kicked his ass a dozen times I hate the fight. I hope they give him a non aids moveset at some point.
>>737036262you vibe check at floor 3 and then commit to either relicmaxxing or upgrademaxxing
>>737034951>You still need to get enough stars to use Royal Gamble firstEh he starts with 3 and all the good star gainers give 2 or 3 so as long as you don't spend yourself down to 0 before you draw one its fine.
test
>>737035392defends are so shit it should be common just so there's a situation where you're not immediately having replace and remove them every single game.Strikes have way more support that makes them viable we need more defend augmenting options. Also big shoutout to poison wave for winning me two Silent A10s in a row.
>>737035935new doorman is fucking way overtuned now. All he does is shit out 40s and make doing anything with your deck really hard. You can obliterate everything on the way to him and he'll still just wipe you on two turns unless your draws and prep are perfect.
>>737036262yeah it's either the game lets you leverage neow bonus, early floor card rewards and potion drops into act 1 elite farming or you take the conservative route and pick cards with act 2 in mind and hope the upcoming ancient blessing keeps your deck strength on curve and if not youre going to have to ride the struggle bus again into act 3
>>737036262The secret is as follows. Pick a path that satisfies as many of these as possible>Has 3 easy pool fights (and maybe 1 hard fight) mixed with some events before the first fire and/or shop>Path has 2~4 elites later down the line, preferably after the chest with multiple fires in between (never with no fires, that's suicidal), but it's okay if there's (fire elite chest fire elite) or (shop elite chest fire elite) or something like that>Path has an escape route with less elites and alternate fire spots in case things go badlyThen you play the act, look at your first 3-4 card rewards, your potion, go to the shop, look at yourself and ask: am I strong enough to beat the upcoming elites. If yes, commit. If no, simply take an alternate path to upgrade your cards and get more rewards and try to do at least one or two just before the boss.Picking strong attacks and then high blocks instead of gay synergies lets you do elites. Gay synergies are a late payoff and you can pick them, but then you can't do elites because they require other parts and upgrades before they increase your output.
>>737036591Yeah I was really going glass cannon and relying on relics and the block carry over to just overwhelm all obstacles (along with an early tent sustaining me) which really works until doorman. If Id lost with this sort of luck I would have been really pissed but it was still hair-raising being on the verge of death and just squeaking out the win. I havent had Doorman and Experiment that I can remember but that would be such AIDs I dread the day. At least Queen still reliably folds to early wheels.
>>737036395Nah knowledge demon is way worse
>>737036930>Am I strong enough to beat this elite>Yeah I think so>Gardeners
>>737036980Always make sure you have an aoe going into any underdocks elites just for this reason Or at least make sure you can oneshots a gardener on turn 1-2
>>737036980I used to hate gardners but I think they're the easiest underdocks elite now because if you damagemaxx you can rape them relatively painlessly.But the terror eel and the coral are faggots that require constant blocking, and both attack you for 20+ frequently. And you usually try to not pick that many block cards early on (it depends on the act boss of course) but it's easier to slot in big attacks than big blocks and move. These threats demand big blocks and then draw order can make a fucking hole in your chest.Only ironclad can easily blap the terror eel in three turns without taking "too much damage" (offset with burning blood) but he gets fucking chomped by the sunken colony giganigger and his 15 damage per turn limit. I think it's my most hated underdocks elite right now.
>>737036568queen is weird, i've had mediocre decks that absolutely shit on her and then incredible decks that wiped the whole game up until that point suddenly lose to her
>>737037296am fairly new, the winning move is focusing the minion first right?
>>737037340If you have enough damage just kill the queen
>>737037296it's a little bit RNG slop, there's not much you can do if she binds 3 cards you need to play on the turn she hits for 50 something
>>737037340Pretty much unless your deck can combo together 500+ damage in 2 turns before the weaken + shielding
>>737037340you want to aim for killing it about right when the strength buffs start making hit as strong as the queen does when you kill itif you kill it too fast you take hard queen hits earlier than you have to, but if you take too long to kill it it starts hitting too hard to keep up with
>>737037849Minion is defacto 250 shield, if your deck can deal with queen before she gains cumulative 250 shield it’s better to kill her
>>737037105this is the thing you can only build what RNGesus permits and then hope you don't roll a bad matchup. Im guilty of almost always trying to snowball from act 1 elites when Underdocks is just a scary place in general at A10 and I should probably try my luck on more ? rooms. I figure its at least an early wipe if you get some truly dogshit card pulls. >>737037340Usually while focusing the Queen Ill collateral the minion to death at about the 1/3 HP point. Can anyone confirm if killing the minion changes Queens behavior because I swear you kill the minion early and then Queen starts doing even more damage than minion would while still debuffing you out the asshole.
>get whirlwind>enhance>meet gardeners Free fight
>>737038046Queen starts off swinginging way harder than the minion does yeah, and her damage ramps up faster.
I have no idea how this weird deck killed A9 doormaker, but it did. Took some inspiration from the Regent talk in this thread and it worked.
>Serpent form from neow>First room is Up my Sleeve>Second room is accuracy >If I make it to the fire the run is free>Question mark room is double nibbits>Runs overI don't care if its cheating having the dev console on command makes A10 runs comfy. Fuck roguelikes
>>737038046>Can anyone confirm if killing the minion changes Queens behaviorHer first and second turns are always fixed regardless of the minion's state. First turn is the Binding debuff, second turn is the 99 vuln/weak/frailWhile the minion is alive, she'll do the "minion gains 1 strength, she gains 20 block" action every single turn after the debuff routine.When the minion dies, she goes in a loop of "gain 2 strength > 5 hit attack > big attack > repeat" until death.
20 hours in and this is literally the first time I’ve seen this card in the shop & immediately bought itisn’t it actually kinda really good for a 1 cost card?
>>737038382>isn’t it actually kinda really good for a 1 cost card?It's extremely good, yeah.
>>737038382>getting to play a card 3 times (in the future) for 1 energy is goodyou won't believe it... many people are saying this
Alright after clearing A10 with all the characters at least once>most liked: Regent >least liked: Silent >equally liked: Defect, Ironclad, Necrobinder
>>737038382>>737038437>>737038525>Hidden Gem>it's universally agreed that it's a good card
Darv is the best ancient. Inject that snecko eye straight into my veins so I can run a 52 card deck.
How do people make create card regent work? I mean I love Begone, Charge, and Guards in almost all decks but Quasar and Spectrum Shift are intent on giving me dogshit and making me pay for it too.
>>737038382It’s criminal it doesn’t even have exhaust
Shiver me timbers
>>737039472Colorless creation Regent means Arsenal + minionsNo one actually relies on the all-class colorless creators unless they have a Nioh guardian spirit gaming all of their gacha rolls
>>737039576Pretty sure I would've just died to Test Subject, Doormaker is a fucking joke now
>>737039506It's already a little slow, I think it'd be quite bad for a rare if it exhausted
>>737040129Make it 0 cost to compensate
>piping hot coco>draw and energy gen out the asshole>reaper form>momentum eradicateand this.... is to go even further BEYOOOOOND
>>737039678how the fuck do you have this godlike of a start and start randomly leaning shivs off a single random accuracyi am fucking mad
>>737040375How would I want to have this enchantment on whirlwind at least once for one-two punch combo
>>737040661ive got icecream now its getting insane. These bosses are not ready for this kind of output
>>737032607can I get a name for the author of this mod pleaseI can't find this one anywhere on twitter while I can just scroll past 2 regent mods while looking for this
>>737040687Aaaaaaa, I had ice cream only once. Game just decided you have to win
>got the bombardment+music box combo AGAINit's so fun
>>737040745nevermind found the guy's name myself, name: anaertailinthanks anyways
>>737040375>>737040687I got that combo once and I just kill everything, shame it was like ascension 3 or something.shit's insane when you pop off
>>737040923Nutty seed. Did a casual 1k damage to experiment to finish off (stacked potions with reptile trinkets and amassed energy)
defensive powers kinda feel like shit in this game unless they upgrade to be innateotherwise you're just praying you draw it fast enough to block the motherfuckers who start hitting you for 20 on turn 1
>>737041385Don’t you just like it having your unmovable as last card in the deck?
>>7370404963 Sharp Ricochet solves earlygame but it's not really enough for lategame.
>>737041385Saying that when Footwork exists is fucking insane
Do you get a special prize for getting the flawless badge at the end of a run with ironclad? It feels nearly impossible to not slip an offering or a bloodletting in somewhere while setting up.
>>736998074Is the regent a boy or a girl?
>>737041770he's a retarded manlet (that's why I love him)
