this game is good but it needs more anime girlsslay the spire 2 thread, why is doormaker either the easiest boss in the game or the most aggravating motherfucker in my 24 hour day?
It doesn't need generic anime girls but it really needs a better artstyle
>>737179108They need to give Ironclad his old mask back, It was better
Easy game. Someone dm me when they add the heart and the last 10 ascensions.
Chinks are fuming at the mouthI saw many games get reviewbombed and devs caving in to the chink menaceDo you think it will happen here?
>>737179476I hope so, the latest patch is just plain unfun
>>737179476Didn't they reverse the prepared? Why are they mad now?
59 hours and I'm still stuck on A0 in STS2. For reference I beat STS1 A20 + Heart.. I'm really sad they made I liked this hard. I want to enjoy the sequel with everyone but I'm not good enough and never will be.
>>737179603Acro to uncommon I guess
>>737179603Beta Doormaker going on live patch
death to china
>>737179740Sucks to suck. I feel like Test Subject phase 1 is harder to deal with than Doormaker
>>737180050Phase 2, too, cause the damage piles up very quickly
the game is way too fucking hard and contrarians need to stfu
>>737180050>>737180186for me its phase 3 instant intangibleCant even cheese him on first turn
>>737179108Mod name?
can we say git gud?
>>737179108>tranimeJust kill yourself already, faggot.
Do I take Crossbow or Throwing Axe on status defect with Toasty Mittens? The axe would guarantee double trash for treasure but the crossbow gives me infinite garbage to exhaust that also benefits from mittens' strength scaling.
Ooooo I'm CLAAAAAWING I'm gonna CLAAAAAAAWMystic Lighter + the shittiest power from the witch Ancient is OP
>>737175759Thank you anon. I beat Doormaker again, I'm at A7 with Ironclad. Maybe it's class specific, test subject really feels free on Ironclad. But Queen feels impossible
>>737179108>but it needs more anime girlsno, stay gatekept fagthis is a game for people who like games, not you degens
How should I improve my picks so it doesn't feel like every elite fight and boss is near death?
>>737181037every game mod is anime. Anime is here to stay, YOU get gatekept
>>737181053I feel like I need to rest at nearly every campfire/stay as high health as possible or I'll die. I can never upgrade anything.
>>737181053Start counting your damage cards, excluding StrikesNever go to an elite below 50% HPIf you're going to fight multiples in the act, try to predict what will come after the first (they always rotate -> elite 1 -> elite 2 -> elite 3).
>>737181126>they always rotateDid they change this behaviour from 1? iirc before all that happened was that you couldn't get the same elite twice in a row? I could be misremembering.
>>737181126>Start counting your damage cards, excluding StrikesWhat should I be aiming for? The rest of the advice sounds good though, thanks.
>>737181186Lets say you fight the Eel firstThe others will always be either the Colony or the 4 snakesIf you fight the Colony, the 3rd will always be the snakesThe 4th is random again, except it will never be the very last one you fought.>>737181235Like 40 a turn (assuming perfect draw) for Act 1Dunno about the other acts. By then you should have a feel if your deck is good enough or notIf by middle Act 2 you still feel weak its probably over.
>>737179108>Regent has the best interactions in the gameI like interactions with Pael the most, FatSlobMarshmellowDragon is CUTE!
>>737181339Pael is a rat bastard. He always tries to sell me two copies of Relax.
I've been really enjoying this game but I kind of wish I never accidentally figured out you can save scum.
Squeeze is still good without cloning bc there's no actual downside in taking multiple Fetches
>>737179740why didn't they test the beta and give feedback then
I never knew the Chinese were so bitchmade. What a strange thing to learn from a videogame
>>737180265You're just mad because the game is an IQ test and being bad exposes you as being stupid.
>>737180467>>737181037>they’re mad about anime>on the imageboard made originally for animeget filtered tourists
>>737181881Everyone is just annoyed by you forcing your fetishes into an unrelated game. I love anime but you're a huge faggot.
>>737180467>>737181881This has happened often enough, has anyone made a slay the spire specific bait image yet?
>>737181931go to reddit if you want pure game discussionseems more your speed anon
>>737181981I guess it would just be a picture of capacitor.
>>737182007Go to a porn board if you want to post hentai
>>737181881>Not a huge fan of the regent>Only one with a Mesugaki modwell, i will be playing regent only for a while
>>737182131Half of /v/ threads start with either softcore porn or cropped normal porn
>>737182195There's not even anything sexy in the game so he has to make up OC shit with mods to try to troll with goon posting. It's not even remotely similar. It's a low effort troll.
>>737182121What?! Capacitor is really good- wait, is it? I don't think it's actually helped any of my decks now that I think about it, and it makes glass orbs worse.
>>737182284>Makes OC>Low effort
>>737182334>what if the regent was actually a gender swapped little girl I could jerk off too!!!repeat x10000. yawn
He has a point. We should be gooning to the monsters instead of Silent and Loli-Regent. Hunter Killer's tail is peak sex.
>>737182438>rapes your run
>>737179740I get the sentiment at least.Doornigger is a massive fuck you to all decks. They need to revert his third mechanic.Other than that the chinkies usually seethe about their easy infinites going under, so I guess Ironclad isn't for them anymore.
>>737182284I gooned to several Silent cards, don’t tell me what is and isn’t sexy
>>737182438I'm fine with this. If you want to fuck Hunter Killer I get it, but if you have to replace him with something from outside the game to get off you're not truly Jerking The Spire.
>>737182485They need to buff the other two act 3 bosses to fuck with decks as much as doornigger.
>>737182576>they need to buff Test subjectHow about I torture you to death?
>>737182438>>737182471I think there should be more porn of Silent insta-lossing to the enemies...
>>737182523Have you considered that no one cares how often you masturbate and that you are the online equivalent to a flasher in a trench coat sharing more than anyone ever wanted to know because you get off on it
This whole ordeal is a prime example why you don't give chinks a platform where they aren't contained to their own. Nobody needs these subhumans on steam.
>>737182485Isnt Ironclad the easiest to go infinite because of such ease of access to Exhaust?
>>737182576Nah, I think the other two are right where they're supposed to.Queen punishes you for relying on few cards with no draw.Experiment rapes you for being unable to cycle your attack and block consistentlyDoormaker is the only one who doesn't have any breathing room except for one setup turn.
>>737182290It's a defensible card if you have a lot of focus stacking but it's a bit underwhelming without artifact + biased cog and defragment at rare. You could take all the commons that boost focus but they both demand upgrades and they also demand upgraded holograms so you can have your focus somewhat reliably. And as you said, glass orbs can just get stranded and waste a slot half the fight.
>>737182607I visited pixiv several times, vast majority of Silent porn is instant loss to the enemies and some consensual with Clad
I am once again thanking you all for beta testing this game.Looking forward to the completed version after all of your feedback.
>>737182607>Silent getting injected by Vantom and turned into an inklet>Silent having her cloak ripped to shreds by two tailed rats>Silent too weak to move and pinned underneath Hunter Killer>Silent pressed against a wall by the Devoted SculptorI agree.
>>737182663They specifically targeted all ways to go infinite with Ironclad
>>737181309>40 a turnNigga you crazy. Don't listen to this guy, there's no way you're averaging 40 damage a turn for Act 1.
>>737183019Wait, you don’t draw Bludgeon+ every turn?
>>737182891This, but there should also be a few cards on the bottom of the screen showing that she drew a bunch of strikes, two powers, and snakebite to show that she's getting raped because she bricked her hand.I'm also down to see her turned into an incubator by the termites, gangbanged by the knight trio, tentacke hentai'd by Soyl Nexus, knotted by experiment, and getting raped by the Queen's pet while she's bound.
>>737182485But he does no damage? Just facetank the third turn. The only time he actually hits you is the exhaust turn which is literally a buff for you.
>>737182929hellraiser infinite with pommel strike is still pretty easy to do but that requires getting a rare card you only see in a fraction of runs.
>>737180628>Just deal 500 damage turn one with only one loop of your deck bro! Ez!
>>737179795Slay the spire wouldn't even be a thing if a chink streamer didn't stream it in 2020 yo his fanbase.It was a completely unknown game with 0 players
>>737182690I think queen should have a stronger phase change between when her construct is alive and after it's dead, and both should be more threatening. Possibly the construct should add statuses to your deck that bind more cards, and after it's dead she should scale with strength much faster.Experiment should be able to mimic every elite from StS1, picking one randomly from each act, and it shouldn't lose the powers of it's previous phases after reviving.
>>737181981oc poster from another boardsomeone itt sent me your post so i obliged to the best of my ability
>>737183196>AI hallucination sourceit's just not true. the game was already successful without chinese interest
>>737183076I cannot wait for more alternate acts so we have more enemies to talk about.
Does this card work with Corrupted?
>>737181829I just remembered that recently Nightreign was review bombed by Chinese players because DLC changed the meta with a new map.
>>737183275I can't use this, snakebite is a good card!
>>737183196>Unironically using google AIthere's no saving you
>>737181114not my hag
>>737181309You aren't hitting 40 a turn.
>>737182647It is certainly interesting that with the worldwide popularity of StS chinks are the only ones chimping out.
>>737183343>snakebite is a good card>snakebait.png
>>737183232Probably they're going to do "bosses have Legendary actions" or powerups as a higher ascension tier.
>A0Turn my brain off>A4Last ascension before the bullshit begins>A8Looking for a moderate challenge>A9 / A10Certain characters and decks arbitrarily get raped by the increased damage and you're forced into playing every character's strongest archetype unless you get lucky enough to be allowed to branch into more "fun" cards that aren't optimal.
>>737179263for some reason the timmy learns to paint artstyle + made up on the spot kitchen sink fantasy setting is really growing on me. It's like a slightly darker adventure time.I still use loli regent mods because I love forcing my god tier fetish everywhere.
>>737179108How do weebs never get sick of looking at the same anime girl like 1,000,000 times?Like, alright we get it, damn.
>>737183297yes
>A1>Downpatched to 0.99>Custom modeI hope modders will fix the game when it leaves early access
>>737183275nice kekBut horny anon is kinda right, thirstbaits always been a thing on /v/ its intrinsic at this point
>>737183609Should be a more cartoony looking little girl, and still a weird clay star thing instead of a human. That way she can be cute, bratty, and fit in.
>>737179108that looks like ass
Wait someone explain to me why chinese are seething specfically, some sort of hard new boss bricking their decks?t. hasnt played but understands the concept
I've spent the past few days beating my head against A9 as Regent until I finally gave up and said "FUCK IT WE BALL"And I guess that was the answer the whole fucking time, Card Creation really is great, even when you go full retard.
>>737183609>for some reason the timmy learns to paint artstylesome of STS beta art looks more kino than most STS2 cards
>>737183837they treat video games as pure power fantasies and perceive any challenge or inconvenience as an unforgivable crime against the chinese national spirit.i am genuinely not exaggerating in any way whatsoever.
>>737183837New door boss forces you to make a single specific deck every run because it counters slimdecks,infinites,0-cost spam,mediumdecks,blockbuilds,carddraw,etc
I'm sick of my runs being entirely decided by "here's a string of 7 ?'s and campfires" and "here's 5 enemies in a row so you're deep into the hard pool before the treasure chest fuck you".
>>737183775There's a variant that got a little bit overshadowed that's more like that It's also completely bottomless with blue cunny out but I like feet too much to switch.
>>737183837they seem to be a nation of silent one-tricks who seethe about any changes to her busted discard buildsreally bizarre
>>737183837taking away their easy methods of winning reveals they are low IQ and not actually good at the game. this bring dishonor on family.
>>737183915this, I remember Chinks review bombed Clair Obscur because their power fantasy was unceremoniously killed in the middle of the game and they thought game is cuckolding them
>>737183927If you have decent block, you can ignore it on the turn it's fucking you over, and hit it harder on the turn that works well with your deck.
>>737184014Source?
>>737183889Based parasol, I just posted a similar run at the end of the previous thread. 48 cards, 24 relics.
>>737182195yeah, wouldn't have even clicked this and looked inside if there wasn't an anime girl op
>mad about losing infinites>mad about new doormaker>can go infinite into new doormaker with 2 cards? Lol
>>737179108Wait, there's a silent card mod now?
>>737184285great so it attracts cumbrains who don't even play the game to post
>>737184038>>737184015>>737183927>>737183915Is this like that thing that Chinks firmly believe "Cheating is a-ok because everyone is doing it"I dont get it, its a HUGE population, how can so many of them think this way?
Since nobody is hosting, can somebody tell me how to make an invite link?
>>737179108Who said the Necrobinder was the worst character? I got to (and won) A10 in like 20 runs.Silent and Regent were kinda easy too... Meanwhile i probably have a 10% WR on A10 Ironclad i fucking suck cock with him
>>737182485I was able to beat him on my first try. Maybe don't be bad at the game?

>>737183837Chinese are around 40% of the playerbase. Unlike westerners they cannot kvetch directly to the devs on Discord reddit or 4chan so they air all their grievances in Steam reviews.

>>737185146Was also mentioned in livedev interviews too but in the article I linked as well>Giovannetti initially sent out codes for the game through Keymailer, a service that enables publishers and developers to connect with streamers and other folks who may be interested in their game. He also cold-emailed several people, but he didn’t get much of a response. Then a popular Chinese broadcaster picked up the game, and suddenly, Slay the Spire blew up in China.>“For a while we had more Chinese players than the entire rest of the player base combined,” said Giovannetti. “And then from there things just started compounding. Because the game works very well on Twitch, more and more streamers started organically picking it up, and we spread through a combination of word of mouth and streamers and YouTubers. It was pretty crazy.”
>>737185202>you'll cope!>'he'Nice try, nigger
>>737185224who knew not giving the player a single turn of downtime (besides the first turn) with very high health to race against makes for a difficult encounter compared to the other two bosses
>>737185467>THREE A10 runs where you have at least 4 mandatory fights before anything elseThis turns ironclad runs into gambling simulators more than anything else in my experience. My main annoyance these days is how consistently shit act 3 maps seem to be.

>>737189245This is how you make Hellraiser fair after nerfs to infinite
What's the optimal way to deal with the queen? Should I be splitting damage until the minion's damage becomes too much? To focus her until she starts shielding? The shield feels like too much to brute force through.Test subject is a pushover sometimes, and door is annoying to deal with, but usually I die to queen's 9*5 attack after the minion dies in most of my runs. Unless I'm lucky enough to get like, dark shackles or enfeebling touch.
that dude who claimed he stalled out phase 1 test subject and doomed him with scourge was 100% lying. all the doom cards are skills and history course still gives him strength so by turn 3 of playing only blocks and doom cards hes hitting for 80+. i hate this dumb faggot as necro. hardest boss to build for by far.

>>737189245>>737189772kek
>>737179108StS would be even more popular if the anime mods were the default game
>>737189787Depends entirely on your damage output. If you can just punch through the queen by the end of her first block turn just do that if you can't you're going to need to do the fight the long way and kill the minion for a scaling reset.
>>737187113That's pretty fucking awful. That's like 3 different boss gimmicks combined into one.
but really, we should be able to stack enchants give it 2 or 3 slots per card if you are really committed to avoid megastacks there aren't even that many enchants or broken combinations between them
>>737190112only combos that reliably win are turn one Alpha strike, infinite mana on the third phase and maaaaaybe hand graveyard recursion on the secondguy is a bigger counter to most decks than time eater was for silent shiv
>>737190112its really not that bad. his damage isn't that high and his single 500 hp pool isn't that hard to burn through and he lets you set up on turn 1 entirely for free
>>737190112Its as awful as you think it is. Single handedly kills runs. Especially if he ends up as the second of act 3 bosses or pairs with test subject.
>>737190112is this another 'mad before he tries it' post? Come on. It's not even worse than test Subject on A10, who just kills you with numbers.
door only counters brainless retards which i know 90% of the retards here are with how many 30 minute runs are posted by faggots just insta clicking cards in their hands with no thought
Check it out. A sub A9 is giving an opinion he thinks matters
>>737190608If I can't win in less than 30 minutes on the hardest difficulty mode then the game is poorly designed.
>>737190659No opinions matter until Ascension 20 and act 4 are out.
>>737190704a10 is supposed to be the sts2 equivalent of a20 already. it's just currently way easier
>>737190779I'd say it's clear the plan is for act 4 to be an actual act, and not 2 boss fights. that will certainly bring it in line better or worse.
Good turn 1
Please give me tips how to clear more reliably. I dont know how to scale. Im a new player and im getting stuck at the third boss. My tactics are>floor 1 get 2-3 elites and grind normals>floor 2 get 2 elites and try to get insane cards to dish out 30-40 dmg per round>floor 3 hope everything turns out alrightWhat am i doing wrong? Clearly im missing some crucial info that veterans of sts have long figured out
>>737190876post a few run history so we can look at what you're doing wrong.
>>737190876Agreed on the first point, but on A9 I stopped targeting act 2 elites unless I know I specifically have a plan for decimilipede. I'm losing on A10 act 3 bosses so who knows if that was right.
what's the use case?
>>737191286osty dies a lot and this card becomes a godlike 1 or 0 cost 17 block upgraded and makes you stop taking damagebone shards also kills osty and is another god card
>>737190846all that's really missing to make it a20 level is "more challenging movesets and abilities" equivalent. a flat damage/hp bump isn't really the same. once the game is finished and we have all the alternative acts maybe sts2 a8/a9 can be reworked into actually being on par with a17/a18/a19
>>737191286Homicide synergy
>>737191286Read the "ANYONE" part and think for 10 seconds
>>737191286Osty getting killed counts as a death.
>>737191286if you're not doing an osty build he will probably die every turnyou can even kill him twice in one turn if you blow him up and then revive him
>>737191016that sts2.fun site lets you share the history of a game floor by floor easily too. might be useful for getting advice

>>737188038>different icons depending on what setting you pickthis could actually be decent if it's ever finished
>>7371908761. avoid taking damage.2. streamline deck (get rid of strike / defend cards, or transform them, or get some exhaust to manually streamline the deck in combat)3. don't mindlessly take cards, try to build synergyPoint #1 is a kind of philosophy for this game, not really specific advice. Specific advice for adhering to that philosophy would be to have a good grasp of your deck's damage potential, which informs the risk that fights will have in each act. Your starter deck is balanced for the first few easy combats in Act 1, but beyond that you need more power for those fights to not be "risky" in terms of taking damage. To that end, I avoid elites in Act 1 unless my deck hits a significant early power spike, enough that I I am confident I can quickly deal with with elites while taking minimal, or even no damage at all. Without a major early power spike, like a lucky transform or rare card or other boon from Neow, the value proposition of fighting elites is not worth the inevitable damage I will take from them.
>>737191708Its a perfectly functional deck. I just got cucked because the only decent ancient option was golden compass, and I want to see how it would do in act 3 if doorman shows up

>>737187114Fuck off, rape Vakuu to death instead
>>737188038REAPER MY BELOVED
>>737190876I'd need to see your runs and also more information about how your runs usually fail. Do you die to bosses, or regular enemies? Are you perpetually low HP, or do you not have enough block or damage, or find yourself unable to draw the cards you need? Is their one particular enemy that fucks you over every time?
>>737187114is this saying claws is bad? every time I've taken claws for 5-6 mauls it ends up winning me the game.
>>737192167Same. Actually, Tanx usually wins me the game in general regardless of what I pick. Love that lion nigga.
>>737192053Sometimes you roll a bludgeon and the act 1 boss is vantom so it's not even that good to take.
>>737192275bludgeon will still completely rape the elites on its own (+1 aoe for germ split) so you're getting good tools for the act stillthis nigga only is good when attacking and blocking with the face, if you don't roll good attacks shit's useless

>>737192876>die to hard hallway bugs because no block
Why are the devs so fucking infatuated with "muh balance"/Nerfs? Is it because the game needs to be le heckin' SOOPER HARD 4 JORBS?
>>737193163It's because the hardest difficulty(out of 10) is 3 times easier than the hardest difficulty of StS1
>>737193282Having played StS 1, I don't feel that's a correct statement, but frankly, making a game less fun in order to make it artificially harder is so not a virtue.
sts 2 ascension 10 is easier than slay the spire 1 ascension 0 and im tired of pretending that it's not
>>737193394Retarded contrarian
>why are the devs obsessed with making the game fun???????????????>artificially harderno comment necessary
>>737193350Thy outright said the A10 winrate is almost 3 times higher than the winrate of A20 heart runs>making a game less fun in order to make it artificially harder is so not a virtue.Making the hardest difficulty hard is logicalIf you don't like difficulty then why are you playing on the max ascension?
>>737179740beta doormaker is completely fine now that he got nerfed.
>>737183609holy shit a talking poop
>>737193163Because the game is the most fun for long time players if it's hard and has no strategies that can bypass that difficulty most of them time. If there are extremely consistent strategies, than the game stops being fun to players who discover them because they just do that every time instead of thinking or caring about their run's luck.Also the game is in beta.
>>737193503But that's not comparable. A10 should be compared to A20 no Heart.

>>737193687Hoping for something newRegent and Necrobinder are funWatcher is just "get tantrum -> win"
>>737192167People staggering weak into act 3 might pick mauls as a last-ditch effort to save their run that's doomed no matter what. Even if there are just as many times as other options that it's good to pick, if the results get flooded by other people who take it when they're losing anyway then that will drag the numbers down.
>>737192053this shit only tells me that you know how to form builds with like 30% of Ironclad's kit.Sword boomerang and twin strike have been absolute run carriers for me due to strength gain with dominate and the like.
>>737193163Because if it's not hard enough, there'll be no point to improve or get better at the game.Also, StS has enough depth to support meaningful difficulty, unlike others hard game that usually boils down to 'just get luckier' or 'press botton quicker'By the best player, StS1 has like >50% WR for act4 a20, it gradually does up to almost 95%WR (watcher) once people figure it out.
>>737193595>artificial difficulty again>a2>im a perfect player the only reason i could possibly lose is because of a patch
>>737193503> Thy outright said the A10 winrate is almost 3 times higher than the winrate of A20 heart runsThis is such retarded comparison I don’t understand how anyone can use it at all for anything ?>act 3 runs in sts 2 has 3 times higher winrate than act 4 runs in sts
>>737193503That's not a fair comparison anon, I recall beating many A20 runs only to get fucked at the end by the heart, not only that, but to even be allowed to beat the heart you needed to fight a buffed up elite mid-run and sacrifice one rest site and one relic, we still don't know what the requirements will be to fight the architect.

>>737193778>Random gives me the one character I can't playNO REROLL IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>737193595The sooner you internalize that you have to adapt to the act 1 boss when starting a run the earlier you'll get more consistent at beating A10, so many times I've been greedy and went for a perfected strike deck when fighting vantom, even though exhaust and multi hit decks were obviously the better choice, I also remember having a high attack deck where my main source of defense was rage even though I'd be fighting the ancestral beast, again, I got fucked because of his ringing debuff fucking me over.
>just realized the Forged blade gets more and more fancy looking as you increase its power
>>737194169Watcher had a lot of ways to win, some were just very good and eclipsed the rest. Watcher's power level allowed you to fuck with more of her cards than other characters because there was the safety net of that overwhelming damage. Maybe that doesn't count as depth to you because you're not pigeonholed as hard.
>>737193595I had two upgraded true gfrits going into him to prep and I rested at 10 HP to be safe, didn't need the rest. If you have reliable selected exhaust and decent block he's truly a joke, so true grit is a real MVP against that fucker.

>>737193778good fucking bath, retarded. (me too)
>>737194312> Watcher had a lot of ways to win, some were just very good and eclipsed the rest.If you have to gimp yourself by picking objectively worse choice to have depth, then it’s artificial depth

>>737194578If you have to pigeonhole yourself into one particular build route that the game signals to you in order to survive then there's no depth at all from that viewpoint. I'd rather have more viable options than less.

>>737196229Noxious Fumes is infinitely scaling free damage every turn, from 1 card that costs 1 energy. You use it to supplement the low damage attacks the Silent has as its standard fare, and it also gives you the option to turtle, to focus on defensive options which the Silent excels at. Silent's also really good at deck milling. Lots of draw and discard options, often on the same card. This means you don't have to specialize in Act 1, you can pick off-synergy cards as long as you have at least a couple really good draw options.

>>737188038>no lolis
>>737198120For me, I find that once I hit around 20 cards, I have to start skipping card rewards even if they have good synergy. I have to weigh them against cards that fill the same niche. If they're a significant upgrade, if I will get a shop and have enough money to remove a redundant card if it doesn't feel good in the ensuing combats, or maybe the card is a power or has exhaust, so it will remove itself from the drawpile after use and I won't have to worry as much about bloat.I try to keep my deck around 20 cards, unless I'm leaning heavily into exhaust or simply have a lot of powers, then it can skew higher.

Lost again. Almost 80 losses in a row now.
>>737199440the harder movesets are just baseline A0 now
>>737199429I unlocked everything with the console, playing with all relics and cards. It's just for clarity of taking a snapshot after I'm done

>>737199603Didn't get anything good.
>>737199603he has 26 card retardbrothe more concerning thing is that he has 29 max hpclearly hes just trolling at this point
>>737198347If that's a mental illness then what is seething about somebody installing a mod on his own PC, retard-friend?
>>737199673getting that low on max HP with brightest flame is pretty normal.
>>737199673Yeah I'm retardedI summed up his deck size with what was in the draw pile.>>737199648>29 max HPEither you spammed brightest flame or took too many event choices to reduce that. Or both.Anyway, dont do that, specially not on Silent.Also your deck is all over the place. You gotta have synergies on your cards.

>>737199813he has synergies. the only reason this lost is because doorman is retarded and he killed himself cycling and spamming brightest flame.
>>737199559keep trying anon you got pretty unlucky with your late relics that run. Potion belt when it's too late to stock is such an insult
>>737199806is it? i've never dipped below 50 unless my deck was absolutely atrocious
>>737199559You're not funny. Try something else.

>>737199648>>737199559bro this is no longer funnyhow far did you go in sts1, be honest
>>737199821good. they suck. the only "osty" builds that actually work are blocking so much that you can make osty big and just use unleash on everythig, probably with a dirge or souls+devour life spam too, or you got squeeze.
>>737200006I don't really get how to prove I did A20 + Heart on all characters without some schizo coming up with excuse on how I faked it. I don't have my entire run history intact in that game (I started playing STS1 in 2019, got my first A20H kill the same year, got all achievements in 2024).
"uoh feet" has same vibes as six seven

While I love the new ancients and how boss relics are more interesting, it's funny how nice it is to see Darv show up
>>737195387>>737195326W Defect
Has anyone else noticed that beating A10 is significantly easier if you just avoid the elites and go for events? I just had a run where I wrecked the boss and had all of my non strikes and defends upgraded. Was at full HP on all three floors. The elites just feel like they are an HP tax and the relics just suck most of the time. I got more relics with Pael and the shops than the elites
>>737202030yeah, elites are a trap most of the time now that the relic pool is so diluted. for every time you get a synergistic relic that was actually worth the HP loss, you have several runs where you lose because the elites gave you literally nothing of value.
I think I'm done. Being this hard stuck on A0 of all things is so humiliating I'm gonna let the game win. Megacrit you did it you made the hardest sequel of all time, good for you
>>737202030it just depends on the run for me. I've had runs where I'm strong early and snowball elites and runs where I avoid them. One thing that's clear is that hard hallways are the worst type of floor. I would rank them something like this in order of best to worst:ChestsFiresEventsShopsElitesEasy HallwaysBig GapHard HallwaysObviously this changes based on the circumstances of the run (desperate need to heal, spend money, save hp, etc) but I do agree with you that they are generally better than elites. But I still want to take some elites just to avoid hard hallways which have a similar HP tax for less gain.
>>737201171GGs lads. Nice Beacon of Hope on the Door. it was my first run on these boards. Quite fun, more than anticipated. Will be sticking around for more runs in the future
>>737202030>beating A10 is significantly easier if you just avoid the elites and go for events?beating elites and doing events >>> normal fights. I fucking hate normal fights, no fucking reward for 15-20 hp tax, at least elites give more money, relic and higher chance of rare card
>lost 28(twenty eight) A9 Regent runs in a row>update main branch>immediately win next runDamn, the buffs were strong.
>two spirit of ashes in act 1>going into act 3 with ZERO defy stillholy shit bro this game does not want me to succeed. i never see this fucking card. getting carried to act 3 by defile of all cards.
>>737199291Thanks for the carry boys.
>>737202030Events are just utterly busted right now. You average something like a third of a card remove per event tile, its fucking absurd. And the ones that arent this arent even whiffs, its usually just trading 6-10 HP for a relic or solid card reward, which is not that much worse than expected results of an A1/A2 hallway and this is the failcase of events.
>>737202956Greed into a convener belt will make you so strong that you can just go straight to the boss
>>737202949You better thank your local ironchad for the carry We got lucky there at the end of those two acts. Easily could've bankrupted us
>>737202949gg's we will drag everyone to A10 multiplayer eventually
obviously zero hp loss is ideal, but what is a "good enough" rate for hallways and elites?
tf is a "hallway"? I've never encontered one at 30 hours. Is it some higher ascension thing?
>>737203431Hallways are just regular enemy encounters that aren't event or elite fights.
>>737203374I'd say as long as you haven't lost more than 6-8 hp per room its pretty good, but obviously you won't always be able to manage it>>737203431Hallway just refers to any normal fight that is a non elite room.
>>737203431hallway = regular enemy fightdon't ask me where the term came from because i don't know
>>737203496>>737203505>>737203542Okay that makes no sense but at least I know what it means now.
>>737179108One thing I really hate about this game is the further you go along the more shitty options they give you which makes it harder to get anything good or fun
steam://joinlobby/2868840/109775242359376313/76561197997192985lobby for those who know that all hallways should be called stairs since we're going up floors each time
>>737202956You can easily lose more than 10 on hallway. Toad in act 2 hits for 25 every two turns
fought 5 combats and went to one shop in act 3 and STILL no defyits a fucking COMMON bro give it to me already
Should I play Slay the Spire 1 first
Should I take the floor 6 tent or skip it and keep the run honorable and pure?

>>737203784They both are entirely different games. You don't have to buy sts1, but sts1 has more than this game because of the years of modding content its had

>fighting waterfall giant>haha bro just draw defends :)You didn't give me any defends, I lose no matter what I do>haha bro you were supposed to just magically get the right cards :)Then there's Test Subject, the single worst boss they've ever designed2 is total shit compared to 1
>>737204539>play badly>lose
>>737204768>play badly>game didn't give me defends>can't do anything else against the waterfall giants final attack
>>737204823Famously the game gives you literally no choice over the constitution of your deck or your relics or the paths you can take
>>737204823You can go to shop and check cards there, with 7 offers and 3 potions chances are SOME block will be offered
>>737204903Well no, it doesn't give you a choice as to the act bossesAlso the game card drawing is RNG you retard, so if, like what happened to me, you get no defends, you literally lose
>>737203374>1-5 HP lostMy realistic ideal to strive for in every fight.>6-10 HP lostAcceptable against certain strong enemies in Act 1, and about what I expect from Act 2 and Act 3 average hallway fights unless I have a very strong deck.>11-15 HP lostUnacceptable in an Act 1 hallway fight, except maybe against the Living Cloud, who is an absolute nigger. In Act 2/3, this would be an undesirable outcome, but not run-ending. It would really depend on my path. If I have multiple rest sites, I would consider this acceptable, I can trade one upgrade for HP later.>16-20 HP lostReally unacceptable against most hallway enemies, sign that my deck is severely under-powered, but there's a couple enemies that I would situationally be happy to get away with losing "only" 20 HP to them (hunter killer...).>21+ HP lostlmao RIP
>>737204506swift only works once so it doesn't matter if they exhaustprobably optimal as in theory you might get the chance to enchant non-exhausting cards with effects that work more than once like that one relic that gives you 3 block for playing
>>737204957It tells you what the bosses are so you can tailor the deck to them>the chance of card drawing is RNGAre you new to card games? You choose what is in your deckFill it with loads of shit that isn't defend... you will rarely get a defendobviously
>>737205085the instant after posting this i remembered that one act 3 event where you can remove exhaust from a cardso he should've only enchanted 2 of the adrenaline copies max
worth the dollarydoos?
>>737202304What was the damage plan here?
>>737201862GG
>>737204957You know what the boss is from the start of the Act. You can plan accordingly. You still have to deal with RNG, but very rarely does the game completely screw you out of any defensive card rewards and options in the shop. You have control over what you choose to add to your deck. Simply by adding more cards that give block, you create a deck that is more likely to give you block in any given hand. I'm not saying fill your deck with nothing but blocks, but to strongly consider taking high block cards when they come up. You still need to do damage, obviously, since bursting down the waterfall giant also keeps its final explosion within a reasonable amount, so it's easier to tank.
>>737201862GGs. You guys carried. Triple corrupted was funny.
>>737205221i'd say so. and you'll definitely know if you like it or not before the refund window is up.
>>737205221Definitely. You can easily sink thousand of hours heret. 2k hours on Slay the Spire 1

The "just have enough block and you'll win the run" card:
a0 is way way way way too hard in this game if they actually started balancing there first instead of listening to streamers they could start making a10 harder faster too. i really want to see a0 winrates among experienced deck builder players in sts1 vs sts2.
