Are there still /v/ lobbies for multiplayer?
Neow's Fury needs reducing to 1(2) cards returned. Atm it's genuinely stupid.

>Playing co-op with friend>Final boss is mutant dog>He dies at the very end of the 2nd form>I get the 3rd form to 40 HP by myself and lose by one or two turnsI feel like with two players one person ends up carrying way more than the other.

Is there any other build on Ironclad other than vulnerable?

>>737768139they clearly haven't thought too much about MP>zero ways to communicate in team>MP cards are mostly broken bullshit or complete horseshit>artifact, slippery, stacks etc. completely bonkers>none thought that act 1 hard HALLWAY fight getting 12 strength in a turn because team drew poorly and has very basic deck is not balance and can wipe party on 4th floor

>>737768435>>737768139Because it's not a multiplayer game. It's just a little side thing they raised they could tack on for lols. I imagine the metrics still look like at least 95% of all games played are single player. It would be stupid to waste time balancing it or adding matchmaking and chat
>>737769509>Because it's not a multiplayer game. It's just a little side thing they raised they could tack on for lolsand turns out it's very fun to do runs with out people
funny how none of the act 3 bosses punishes an alpha strike

>>737767480>>737767587goatse's hands are on the outside tho
>>737769509Multiplayer was one of the big features in the EA trailer. They literally made unique cards for it along with unique systems for chests, decisions in events, paths, etc. It is just not properly balanced for it because nothing in the game is properly balanced. It is not finished like the game is not finished.Idk why niggas are acting like this game is even close to done. I don't know if match making will ever be a thing, but I am sure a public lobby browser will happen and you can just filter by ascension and password or no password or some shit.
>>737769872matchmaking is retarded, literally just let people browse open/private/password lobbies and that will be enough
>>737769831Imagine thinking you need to tell other 4chan users this.

>>737769797If that's the intent then it's really fucking stupid design since it's a 50/50 which you'd need. Always take the multi-hit card because of the carapace faggots.
>Defect A5wtf these are all really good?
>>737770161Silver crucible is one of those cards that is orders of magnitude better in the defect than in any other character because it's really upgrade hungry.
>5 streak A10 ironclad>after struggling with the character since release
>>737770102>he doesn't fight 3 elites per act
Okay, so, hear me out.I'm leaning towards Status Defect on A5, got Trash to Treasure from the act 1 boss, and have an Overclock+ in my deck. Cloning that Overclock+ could be REALLY fucking funny.
>>737770876That sounds like a great idea actually. If you ever get a flak cannon the game is unironically over.
>>737770990Thiefnigger at the start of act 2 almost ended the run by stealing it. RNG gave me a lighting orb for lethal off Trash to Treasure.
>>737770876clone overclock is insanely good
>>737771068SMOKESTACK ACQUIREDOH LORD IF I SURVIVE TO HAND IN THIS SPOILS MAP
>>737769872matchmaking will never be a thing. I remember the dev said it somewhere that it's a can of worm, if they implement it, it'll be their responsibility to moderate it. I can imagine how much bitching and moaning people going to do when there's a chinese troll in the lobby, forcing them to wait 5 mins each turn when they're in the middle of Act2?Megacrit is a small team, there's no way they can (or willing to) hire a department to manage that. It's so much pain in the ass for so little benefit.
>>737768731With soup hellraiser is a nerf usuallyThey're redundant energy fix, all it does is fuck up your targeting
MITTENS NO NOT THE CALAMITY
Fix itFor me it would be>Start of your turn, deal 3(5) damage to self. Gain 4(5) Strength
>>737771479All it needs is for the upgrade to lower the cost.That's it.That or give it innate. Maybe add a Health cost to balance it having innate on upgrade.
>>737763253Should I play this game because I like sneks, before devs nerf everything?
>>737771479I wish your character model and animations would actually change when you play these "Form" cards on the different characters. I know how much work that would be but fuck it would be cool. I'd take demon form more often but as it is now, if I am going for strength stacking I can almost always reliably get just as fast if not faster with other options than I can blowing a whole turn to play this.
Wow thank god my deck is full of Overclock+ and adroit Boost Away+. I'd whine less but both of my Smokestacks were at the bottom of my draw pile. Shitty RNG game honestly.
>>737771479It's fineIt is the victim of a systemic issue that affects all the high cost powers that don't immediately do anything, plus it's a defensive build around on a character who basically can't turtle without a specific rare because of shit blocks and no weak/dex accessDon't treat symptoms, treat the cause
>>737763253Bought the game without checking the reviews. I wanted to see it for myself. That's extremely embarrassing.
>>737771479the only issue with this card is getting it into play, it is not priced to it's effect, something like void form provides its value next turn while this is only starting to make a difference on your 4th since you of course gave up 3 energy worth of card damage to play it. if it had innate there are many fight openings where you could forgo attacking and play this
>>737772136That bad review isn't wrong, about half of the card pool is fairly meh right now. It's even worse on Regent where it's around 75% of his cards that are bordering on unplayable.
>the Chinese cried and shat their pants nonstop about Doormaker Chinkraper>turns out he's the weakest of the Act 3 Bosses based on statsThey play like literal bots just copying streamers (must go shop remove strike, keep deck small, must go infinite) and then complain. Oh, and get this, everybody savescums. It's beyond pathetic
>>737771479There is no fixing it, because enemies scale harder than you do in terms of strength, it needs to be reworked or just given a massive buff, like only costing 2 energy, or giving 3 strength per turn without an upgrade.
>>737772290Infinite combos being removed was good for the game, infinite combos in card games are always cringe as fuck (see the modern state of Magic the Gathering)
>>737772606I agree. Infinites are a failure of in the game's design. I don't think they should be 100% removed, but getting them should involve a lot of risk/luck, especially risk
>>737772606Autowin 2 card infinite combos that trivialize the rest of the game and take no effort to put together are cringeUnusual, haphazardly cobbled together infinite combos that you have to assemble like the 5 infinity stones are based
>>737772237Regent has like 1 bad card
>>737771479it's fine. It's powerful when you have the energy to play it. There are ways to change its cost, you know. I think it's balanced.

>>737773510hex mod for necro when
I lost to the second boss again today, A10 is so hard. First time was understandable cause the first boss was Lizard, but second time I got the good combo doors into queen, but I still didn't play the door well enough and entered queen at 25 HP. Btw I had arsenal and supermassive + drill for damage, but I feel that Supermassive is always too slow, and drill wasn't very good without extra energy. What's Regent's best payoff for Arsenal?

>>737775226just b urself
>>737774415>It fine>Clad shit>Balance shitso make it fit Clad decks instead of being "fine in vacuum"
>>737774906I think only spoils of battle is truly unpickably bad.Then all cards except Big Bang, Bulwark and Smith range from middling and >wouldn't want to pick them except I'm on act 1 and I have NOTHING going onto okay at best. But you can at justify clicking on most of them if you really need them.
>>737775330Refine Blade is fine, Spoils of Battle isn't bad but Regent has so many better draw cards like Glow or even Pale Blue Dot. I feel like Forge builds are way too reliant on getting Summon Forth, Conqueror, and then Seeking Edge or Sword Sage, otherwise the blade just scales too slow and is too costly to use.
>>737775428Most of my succesful Forge builds are actually star decks in disguise that use refine as a way to scale quickly by doing shit like decisions into the smith or playing Sword Sage while protecting yourself with stars before dealing 50x3 for 2 energy.
>>737775327Ok then it now costs 1 applies 2 vuln and exhausts and is renamed dominate
>>737775061Had an amazing A10 run with this, Burst, and a small enough deck to reliably cycle. Can't believe I almost made the mistake on putting this on Adrenaline first- being able to stack up on Intangible to negate having shit defense options for my current turn AND my next turn really came in clutch against a lot of Act 3. I hope they never touch Soul's Power
>>737774964Drill didn't work for me in the boss gauntlet cause I didn't have enough energy. I guess stardust would've been perfect if I hadn't neglected stars.
>>737775212Did the lobby fill up or did you let it go?I'd be ready to go. I have plenty of ascensions but 0 multiplayer experience.
>>737773751My A10 experience was like 1/40 before I finally succeeded between clad and defect, with like 3 to 5 even making it to the final boss.Shit's hard mang
Any tips with helping win with Necrobinder?Summon is basically just Plating, right? But you need to stack block to sustain your summon? you need block/summon to endure long enough to stack Doom?don't get Friendship if you plan on playing non-Osty attack cards?grab enough Vulnerable/Weak cards so you can scale in later acts?
>3 Flanking>Secret Technique>Non exhausting Whistle.What a busted run. GG.

>>737776340>>737776343Yeah, when I saw you two were stacking damage multipliers I knew I needed to double down on sword.

A3 run:steam://joinlobby/2868840/109775243240191861/76561198036209242>>737776782Thanks, that worked.
>>737776224friendship is -2 or -1 strength it is irrelevant to playing non osty attacks, it doesn't effect doom and it only reduces your big attacks by 1 or 2 damage. But it also does not effect any of your powers that do damage when you do something. The energy from it even from two unupgraded friendships is worth it.Vulnerable is only useful for big osty, or your other big attacks. which you may not even be using due to how doom, slight of flesh and soul damage cards work.Summon does need block to keep your stacks of it but if you can summon enough in a turn it is just block most of the time, something to remember is that enemies that have effects if they do damage get those effects if they damage osty.Hang is a guaranteed win condition for any fight so always pick it.Defy is a powerful block card regardless of your buildDirge is extremely powerful especially with any energy boosting you have and having at least 1 copy is always good.

When trying to join these lobbies, does it matter if the people joining have to match their profiles to the host? Public/non-public etc.?
>>737777375Remember: when you make a lobby, state in the post if you're on the base or the beta branch of the game...
>>737777454> you are staying in the lobby and not leaving it ever right? that's the important partYes, that's why I don't get it. Maybe there are other settings that hinder it?Fresh link, if this doesn't work, I give up for today.
>>737777540im not sure, i have never seen this problem or anyone complaining from it from all the threads there have been, so i don't think it matters
>>737777617yeah that could be it, since everyone mostly plays on the beta branch>>737777634
>>737776224summon and weak chain are how necro blocks consistently. the summon only cards aren't really good, except for reanimate for 20(25), but it might be next to better rares for your build and sometimes turns into a "pass turn" card because 25 isn't full blocking a lot of hits. if you get a danse macabre or two, pull aggro becomes a good pick.slam defy 99% of the time. putrefy also really good. stacking weak is just good especially if you ever get debilitate.friendship is still good in non-osty builds. necro doesn't play attacks a lot and really only eradicate really suffers for it but not much. it is definitely a consideration though.necro's vuln kinda sucks and its rare to rely on that for scaling. fear breaks lethality on your next hit and it needs an upgrade if you are trying to line it up with a big lethality hit and its might just brick you and sap your energy for every deck cycle until your big hit is ready. can be a damage solution but very situational. high five is 2 whole energy, essentially just bash but aoe, and even clad kinda hates playing bash. danse and spirit of ash can make these cards way more playable and also debilitate of course makes it way more worth it.
>>737777375You did set this to public, right?>>737777540I'm pretty sure it only matters for the host posting the link.

>>737777840gg bro
>>737777881>>737777879Apparently this is the error message you get if trying to match up with beta/nonbeta versionsFor my part I'm sticking with public releases
>Tyranny>Can take the tongue from the big tiddy green goth girl because lmao random statuses mean nothing
>>737777516It depends, if it's act 1 the 3 energy big attack needs to be considered before you have an actual deck going based on if you are in waterfall or the ruins if you are going after elites immediately whether or not the other card choices are archetype cards for souls or doom or etheral builds and so on, even a 4 energy attack needs to be considered if you have acquired any source of extra energy (potion/artifact). Typically if you have found an energy boosting card and then see a big attack after the very next fight you take it until you have a more cohesive deck.
>>737776224I feel like Necrobinder is a good character in learning how to become a truly hybrid build/not go all in on a certain archetype.Like the other two said, Friendship is still very playable without a Osty-reliant offence. It just makes Eradicate and Hang less potent, but it's still workableYou don't need to go all in with Osty being your defense, it can be a lethal trap if things aren't going your way and Dirge/Spur/Reanimate lose a lot of value if you can't get things rolling. If you're playing with no intent to keep Osty alive, cards like Bone Shards and Melancholy become really good.There are several good cards that lean into Doom+Defense (Deaths Door, Negative Pulse, Shroud)If applying Weak/Vulnerable is part of your main gameplan then Debilitate is very nice to include, same for Veilpiecer if you're relying on Ethereal cards. Don't sleep on them just because they're basic attacksPersonally, Snap is almost a always take for me, purely because being able to Retain a lot of my important cards allows for big plays to be much more reachable>>737777007Hang can be awkward to play with if you have a big deck, are bloating your deck from Call of the Void, or don't have good draw/2 energy for Graveblast+Hang
>>737777516i hated reap at first too but now i am reap-pilled for act 1. it gets you out of a lot of fights faster just saving it for the final blow. if your damage is ass, invoke can help you cope and play it more too.end of days, especially upgraded, also makes you really strong in hallways. it one shots the exoskeletons and biting scrolls so your plan for those fights becomes just block until you draw it.
Call of the void into nightmare into more abrasive into escape plan for this hand. Patriots in control.

times up is secretly a good card i swear. retain (upgraded) so its easy to line up with whatever. 2 cost so even if you transfigure it, you can still play with with base energy. or if you want to play it when its not lethal, your turn isn't over. both attack scaling and doom scaling contribute to the scaling of this card so your scaling options are super wide. also very draw order independent and consistent. you're not gonna miss 3-4 turns of damage when you bottom deck your powers like when you build sleight of flesh. you just spend one or two deck cycles patiently playing powers and building up doom then you end it. this card just has so much going for it to make it so flexible.

>>737763253Seems like there's been a increase in lobbies over the last few days, but I'm not complaining in the slightest.>>737769872Yeah, I agree. It's Early Access for balancing. Same as StS1. Of course it's not fine-tuned, and they have already made a few nerfs to multiplayer cards and (in this beta) nerfed artifact/slippery scaling, so they are at least paying some attention to the multiplayer.Also the devs did mention matchmaking in the April 2026 Neowsletter Q&A:>Bryggel asks: Is it possible to have matchmaking or ingame chat for multiplayer?>Casey: Matchmaking is a bit up in the air at this time. I think any video game where you can be paired up with strangers brings a whole host of headaches that a smaller team wouldn't want to deal with... but maybe we're being too stringent. Perhaps something to evaluate later. We could probably bring in some kind of in-game chat. I don't think we'll do voice. Unless something horrible happens to Discord.
>got the no boss damage award Huh, does it not consider the queens minion? Also the tiara solves that fight lol.
>>737782684most guides are shit, but this one was proven to be worth a read by several people here.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dY5nQXauhfAuWFRoOGQnBZVXgSZomonGZ5Bwt2aIvNY/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0it expects you to know the game's basic very well though, so you might struggle to follow a bit if you're new to the game.

>>737783474Having a 'upgrade entire current deck' offered in Act 1 when you're not fully built feels like a spit to the face. Would be nice for this to give us a Apotheosis-like relic if were to all-in, gives more incentive to the self-challenge of playing a perfect run with 1HP.
>>737771479It's just unusable because even if you draw it turn 1, the fight already needs the fight to be going on for too long for it to have any meaningful impact. It just slows you to a crawl, on a character that's already kitted to play offensively.

>>737784356is anyone getting crashes with test subject whenever you try to target him during his "downed" pre-transform phase?
>>7377714792 things1 Gain 2 strength immediately2 Plays if exhaustedI think ironclad in general needs more in his exhaust kit. There's a lot of ways to exhaust cards but no reason to. In downfall there was a mechanic called pyre where cards needed to exhaust another card to be played, and unplayable cards that had effects if exhausted. It made the collector really fun and interesting to play. I think ironclad has the last interesting playstyle at the moment. It's just strength maxxing and try to get a multi hit attack. Toss a tremble in there and you've got 95% of ironclad decks
>>737770482>crash and burn the next 5 runsOh, I didn't get it after all. Guess I'm still retarded.

After 150 hours, aren't all attack patterns predetermined unlike the first game?
>>737793009I think the Underdocks Rats has some RNG in their attack patterns but yeah for the most part they're pretty standardised. There's basically nothing like the Writhing Mass that exists in the game right now, and whether that's good or bad is debatable. I do think something like Soul Nexus could have it.

Easiest Ironclad run of my life all I needed to do was upgrade Afterimage. Insta-slammed the Lighter in the shop and with Ashes Blade of Ink was doing retarded levels of damage.

>>737796685Holy moly GGs lads. This might the kinda run I'm gonna be dreaming about forever. Dominate+Thrash scaling, with Vicious+Dark Embrace+Corruption to draw. It was something of a soft infinite where I could exhaust a ton of cards and then loop Thrash for however much energy I had. I'm not really sure how to pilot this deck against Doormaker, so I took the Duplicate Deck option for more value.Thanks for the debuffs and energy. It helped greatly in me scaling and not dying. Clutch Eradicate on Phase 1 Test Subject too.
>>737798235ill make one for you>pick strong early cards>use them to farm hallways and elites for OP cards>balance block/attack and draw/energybada bing bada boom
>>737796879> Spiked Gauntlets causing powers to cost 1 more energy OVERRIDES Bullet TimeHuh that’s interesting. I would have though it worked the other way, especially since they had this note under the beta Bug Fixes>Effects that make the next card free to play (Unrelenting card, Void Form card, etc.) now properly take precedence over effects that increase the cost of all cards (Entangled affliction, Spiked Gauntlets relic, Borrowed Time card, etc.)I guess Bullet Time doesn’t count for in that.
>>737796908GGUsing History Course to replay Eradicate on the turn Test Subject wasn't Intangible and after you played all those Invokes was genius. My deck was garbage compared to the rest of you guys. I was super slow with the exhausts and didn't have Fiend Fire or Dark Embrace or anything

>>737802501whatever energy you have currently.
Having a splashed Ashen Strike as a sort of soft insurance against Doormaker is pretty neat. Even without intentionally adding exhaust support, you can scale it to do 100ish damage with some vulnerable just by passively playing through 2 cycles. Despite what people say about Ironclad's overall strength, he has quite a few built in insurance policies against the Doormaker's gimmicks, namely in Fear No Pain and his exhaust stuff in general.
>>737802459Currently on Beta. Could switch if really needed.(The main sticking point is that the beta nerfed artifact/slippery multiplayer scaling)

Okay. I'm going to admit something. I'm going to bare my very soul to you. I have been one of the foremost snakebite HATERS in this thread since day 0. I have argued VEHEMENTLY against this card. But after this run... I don't - I can't stop myself. My legs, my knees, they're moving on their own...Snakechads, I was cruel to you. I was capricious and combative. I didn't listen, I refused to listen. I hope - I pray, that you will find it among the wealth of compassion in your hearts, snakebros, and within the wisdom in your minds, snakefriends, to accept me among you, born anew and baptised in venom, to walk among you as a snakeChad.My legs are straining. My knees are bending. I cannot stop it. I kneel, snakeGODS.
>>737792640Would
>>737802792Snakebite just stays there, confortably, in your hand, waiting for the right time to strike(bite), the good old reliable Snakebite
I don't understand why they replaced Seeing Red(energy that exhausts) with the clunkier to use Forgotten Ritual(energy that exhausts but with a condition) while at the same time moving the already superior bloodletting to common and giving self-harm a lot of strong synergies
>>737803254You’re supposed to play forgotten ritual with Corruption….that was moved to ancient relic
>>737803224good ol' bite. Nothing beats that.
>>737803254for me, Production replaced Seeing Red, but, like Shockwave, was turned into a neutral card. Sentinel was replaced by Forgotten Ritual
Snakebite can deal 28+ damage for 2 energy, why people hated it, again?
>>737803781like many cards in a deckbuilding game, it actually kind of sucks but there are plenty of ways to make it not suck. sts2 is often more about doing something NOW than sts1 was, so snakebite is an investment. If you pick it and don't find anything that synergizes with it, it's going to end up unplayed for many combats. Not so bad as bricks go since it has retain and can only dead draw you once.
>>737803963Snakebite being bad card just shows how insanely busted average Silent card is
>>7378041302 energy for "do a strike that ignores block at the beginning of the enemy's turn, and some more damage later" is a bad card for everyone. Silent has access to plenty of tools that make it into a good card. It's only bad in the sense that other cards do not require such investment, but snakebite is just a common so it's fine that it needs some effort to make it good.
>>737804248>do a strike that ignores block at the beginning of the enemy's turn, and some more damage laterPoison is way stronger than this lmao and having a poison card that retain fixes the issue of bouncing flask of having to play it first time you see and potentially take 10 to the face or skip it and start adding poison way later into the fight
>>737802749That was comedically easy, almost all perfect throughout the run, my early Lava Lamp was put to good useAND DONT TOUCH THAT BUNNY I HAD REAPER FORM
GG doom sisters
AND THAT'S A GG FLESHLESS GALS >>737804563yeah once we got the ball rolling it was rapetime, bless the single end of days
>>737804248> is a bad card for everyoneIt isn’t, which is why people pick up Rampage in act 1 or inferno that’s just deal strike at the start of you NEXT turn and then following turns while losing hp. Snakebite low damage is only problem when you need to kill enemy right now
>>737802749GGs. Fun run. My first doom card was literally mid-Act 2. I even picked up Bing Bong to double up into more doom. The only thing it doubled was End of Days. I think I got offered a total of 4 doom cards, 2 of which was in the same card reward.(was I the only one with end of days? That's really funny)
>>737804640you can use rampage whenever you'd like to use a strike and it simply performs better ignoring all other possible synergies. This is what I mean by snakebite is a bad card on its own, simply that it needs some investment.>only problem when you need to kill enemy right nowyeah that's never a problem in sts2
>>737804765> you can use rampage whenever you'd like to use a strike and it simply performs better ignoring all other possible synergiesRampage + strike is 15 damage, snakebite is 18 damage in 3 turns and you don’t end any fights faster than 3 turns
>>737804978>in 3 turnszap is 300 damage in 100 turns. time is of the essence nigger, snakebite is both less and more than a strike replacement like rampage. What do you think I'm arguing and what about it do you take issue with? Snakebite's high cost just means that without investing in anything to make it more convenient it's kind of weak. Many overall good cards possess this quality.
>>737805045> zap is 300 damage in 100 turnsAnd there’s no fights ending faster than 3 turns(for Silent). Do you understand it?
>>737804745I was actually thirsting hard for doom cards throughout the run too, if it weren't for Reaper Form then I would've pretty much been playing a pure tank Osty build. Tried to keep Reaper Form in play as fast as I could to stay in spirit
I've never been won this hard
>>737805173you're probably playing rampage immediately if you draw it turn 1. if you draw snakebite turn 1 you're probably letting it retain. the way you're comparing cards is really retarded
>>737805538Because rampage has no retain so you can’t wait for vuln and not playing it means no scaling, that’s why you have to play it right away. Snakebite gives you flexibility, it will still deal more damage in elite fights than rampage even if you play it on second turn
>>737805707I think you just want attention.
>>737805538> the way you're comparing cards is really retardedWhat? Both those cards are actually 1 damage solvers, they solve damage and most important thing is how much damage they can output over course of act 1 fights. What else are you going to compare it by?
>>737805538Stop trying to force rampage it's just shit (unlike snakebite)
>>737805446Geez that’s also really bad doom pickings. yeah, my Act 1 and first part of Act 2 was also going big Osty support with Legion of Bone and the Ancient Unleash card(even gave it corrupted).Getting No Escape as your first card reward is hilarious though. That was my first doom card offered too(along with countdown i guess). Basically we both just lucked out on the best doom card for doom multiplayer.
>>737806037I liked your mockup so I made my own.
>kill elites EZ>fail to scale for Act 2 bossfeels bad every time
would it be funny if we start trying multiplayer gimmick runs?like :>4 silent spamming poison, accerelant>4 clads spamming vul, bully, dominate>4 regent spamming conqueror (and hopefully hammer time)>4 necro spamming doom and no escape
It took me 4 tries to win with Necro. It was a defensive deck so Vakuu can't fuck up.
>>737807076>>4 clads spamming vul, bully, dominateThat's literally just the average multiplayer run with 2+ Ironclads
>>737807076Spamming vuln is not a gimmick but a broken strategy
>Both regent mods banned from the nexus
>>737770102that's the design of elites in sts2, how is it different from a card reward screen? you pick cards which fix your deck's weaknesses if you intend to take on elites.>>737773751best payoff for arsenal is crash landing and spectrum shift. ideally you also have things like begone, charge, guards etc.

>>737812040It's terrible compared to its original form of 1(2) weak.
Doing a full doom build, but I realized Arsenal + souls would be so broken...
I still try regent but the fact he has three different path completely fucks my plans up with the rng
>>737814168sleight of flesh probably just does more regardless unless you have a big pull from below or eradicate
>>737814221Creation and stars are the competing two, forge is a step below. Even if you get a comfy Bulwark+ early, you should still think about the first two. they're just easier to win with consistently.
>>737810337and a ching chong to you too, chinaman
>RANDOM>RANDOM>RANDOM>RANDOMI am TIRED of random bullshit added to Ironclad cards making them unplayable
>>737814843Stampede is good though because random is usually at worst a 50/50 and at best is just the expensive 3 cost card you want to play?
daily objective is fun but my game crashed from cloning too many cards
>>737814843I like this card, but people who are good so it's bad. Haven't won A10 with it, so I dunno
>>737814221Stars + Forge worksStars + Creation worksYou just never want Forge + Creation.
>>737814221every character has that many synergy groups or more. You should never be fully building into a single archetype anyway.
>>737814894and why it has to be random? Why Havoc plays card on random enemy, why Cascade does it too despite not stating that it will play card randomly. Why aggression pulls random card, why Cinder and Thrash exhaust random. And why only Ironclad has such random bullshit added to all cards while at worst Regent generates random neutral cards(that aren't being randomly played on random enemies).
>>737815370The ironclad "fantasy" is a berserker in an uncontrollable rage.It's thematic for him to have random cards that statistically tend to hit super hard compared to others.
>>737815480>that statistically tend to hit super hard compared to others.om, no. Necro has no random bullshit and her attacks hit much harder
>>737815370meanwhile defect players putting up with lightning orb's bullshit rng for a decade:
>>737812040I don't really understand why Necro is the only character without a way to get 2 Weak with 1 card at all. Pre-nerf Defy was a super good card but the shit that was actually broken was Dirge being non-exhaust and Borrowed Time being a poorly balanced card numerically compared to Bloodletting. Even now that they nerfed Grave Warden, it's still always the preferred pick over Reave (after the bug fix), or even Severance.
>>737815572>Sword boomerang hits 4 times, every +1 strength is effectively +4 damage>Even the most basic Ironclad can get +4 Strength easy, and most can get +15 or more
>>737815790Because debilitate + weak is incredibly strong which is why it's absolutely busted where other players can shit out the weak for her.She also has Putrefy which even though exhausts, still applies 3 vuln + 3 weak
>>737816000>Bury+ with Lethality+, vuln and debilitate will hit for 220
>>737815790Because Debilitate exists
Massive aura loss for the Shai-Hulud
>>737816117>these 4 cards do more damage than 1 cardwoah
>>737815370Random is fun. It's part of why he's the best character.
>>737815790Defy works with too many thing. sleight of flesh / pull from below / banshee's cry / pagestorm / spirit of ash / debilitate. It is basically a deck archetype in itself. you can't let it be even stronger than it is now.
>>737815790doesn't necro still have putrefy? that's 2 weak for 1 card unupgraded. It's uncommon but still better than ironclad's only weak option which is uppercut. That's only 1 weak and requires an upgrade for 2 weak.
>>737816324>these 4 cards do more damage than 1 carddebilitate works for 3 turns, Lethality is power. So it's a setup for 3 turns to deal 350% damage with first attack
>>737816143>>737816052>>737816610>>737816782I mean Clad and Silent have ways to double the effectiveness of their Weak and Vulnerable applications. Could've just made Debilitate a rare or something since that card is still ridiculous as an uncommon.
>>737816894Ironclad doesn't have any way to double his weak application. I was just comparing ability to do weak. Ironclad is clearly the best in the game at applying vuln. Silent is meant to be the best at weak. Something is off with the balance if necro is better at either than those 2
>>737816886How are you applying vuln without a 4th card?
>>737816894>I mean Clad and Silent have ways to double the effectiveness of their Weak and Vulnerable applicationsClad can only double it for himself and only Vuln, Silent only for herself and only increase by 60%. And Ironclad specializes in Vuln and Silent specializes in Weak, no other character should be stronger at both AT THE SAME TIME than them>>737817006>Ironclad doesn't have any way to double his weak applicationCruelty+ makes it go from 150% to 200%
>>737817006Necro isn't exactly a good character for Vulnerable application because her only way to do it without killing Lethality proc is Putrefy. She's far from being the best at it compard to Silent when Silent starts with a 0-cost card that can apply 2 Weak. That's the real busted shit.
>>737814221Stars are always primary with forge and creation as secondary. I have this problem with necromancer, right now Im doing ethereal as primary, then picking only great doom and souls cards, souls only work in the endgame so I gave up picking it in the early game
>>737817248Lmao I forgot about osty, exactly my problem with necro, too much stuff
Sturdy Clamp with Malaise+, Chem X and Footwork can get pretty nutty
>>737817413Forgot to add the image
>>737817057>Cruelty+ makes it go from 150% to 200%What are you talking about? Cruelty affects vulnerable. Not weak.
>>737814221>>737817248Stop being archetypebrained
>>737817678Pros say don’t be archetypebrained but in the end the only way to scale damage for act 3 bosses is to have working archetype
>>737810337genuinely never lost to this bossIt's mechanics feel super oppressive but the boss never hits hard, the exhaust phase actually HELPS you by thinning out your deck for the two other phases
>>737817938So what archetype would be a necro deck using doom for aoe, exterminate+borrowed time for single target, debilitate+weak+osty for blocking and transfigure for boss scaling?
Complete and utter parasol domination
Silent start into a low value overgrowth, do you take potion slot + potions or greed? There is a shop early.
>>737818751Greed basically always
>>737818751I literally never take greed. I don't believe there's anything in the shop worth buying that is worth having an eternal curse.
>>737818854>>737818917
>>737818917curses on silent don't matter at all, there's so much draw/discard potential
>>737818751phial holster always. Easily the best neow starting relic since it snowballs into pathing for max elites easily
>>737818917Greed is a great choice if there is an early shop. You can immediately buy several cards to dilute the impact of the curse. I wouldn't take it over phial holster though.
>>737818917You take it on characters who have no damageThe curse is irrelevant compared to getting an early parrying shield or a rare something Silent specifically can easily just cycle past it once she has preps or acros or even wlp just kinda invalidates the drawback
>>737792640Id love to make custom skins if anyone know how to make them selectable
>>737818643You solve most things by getting a lot of energy and then replaying eradicate? That’s your archetype. Meanwhile how would you deal 500 damage on Ironclad without any archetype
>>737819412I see your point and agree necrobinder does need a bunch of nerfs to bring her into line with the other characters.
>>737819017>>737819193But instead of drawing and discarding a curse, you could draw and discard a sly. The effect is the same.
>>737819491You don't have to discard it it's just not relevant because you're playing overdraw: the character and she really needs early damage to fight elites, much more than she cares about having another shit unplayable card later when she starts with 13 of them already
>>737819412What if I also uses ethereal cards and pagestorm for card draw? Also do you call archetype any 2 cards working well together?
chink killer got me again bros...
>>737819918> any 2 cards working well together?Necro has archetype called big cards, in which you spend a lot of energy on one expensive card a turn. Turns out if you use specifically use cards of that archetype to kill enemies you’re using that archetype
>>737820482And what if you use ethereal cards and osty for blocking, doom for all the hallways and exterminate only for the bosses/single target elites?
>>737818751Greed was the correct choice btw.Advanced hallways were brutal, I burned through the potions I got before the first elite, with no card rewards or new potions.Greed took a bit more in the easy hallways but then bough a twisted funnel and bubble bubble in the shop and it made the advanced hallways so much easier. I don't know if it will beat the boss but the act went much smoother with greed.
why does reagent get to have 4 cards which has vuln and weak and ironclad isn't allowed to have shockwave?
>>737820901Devs decided that unlike all other characters that are defined by what they can’t do, Ironclad and Silent are defined by what they cannot do: Ironclad cannot apply weak almost at all and Silent cannot apply vulnerable
Just realized new Soup is a stealth buff to Aggression. You can scale your enchanted Strikes to high heavens with the Lighter and Cannon.
>>737821142> all other characters that are defined by what they can’t doCan do*
What ascension level must I reach in StS before I can continue to StS2
>>737821493At least a 4 rotating a20 streak
>>737821168>lighter, cannon, dummy, soup, cruelty+Now your strikes deal 48 damage to vulnerable enemies
>>737769872they probably didn't add matchmaking to avoid having to moderate their game, like how in Isaac there's some tranny chaser putting everyone off, and Edmund specifically added a blocking feature just because of him
>Take the scissors >3 fire places lined up just need to make it to it>Inklets>Strangler>Double nibbitsConsole: Kill all
>>737821617Well shit, maybe I can do it before the game is out of EAHopefully I won't get filtered by A2 for much longer
wtf i love doormaker now
>>737822283Why isn’t she stretching her asshole?
>>737822283This needs to be a modIf I can replace every character in the game with anime girls it'll go from 10/10 to a 11/10
>>737822401yes, starting with fuzzy wurm crawler
>>737822274Should be doable in 1 year if you watch baalor's sts1 full stream on youtube
>>737810429Enjoy your back to back Hunter Killer and 4x Exoskeleton fights.
>>737822659Its funny because it'll generate acts like that anon has, you'll get fucked by back to back hard hallway fights, and then anons here will just parrot>Just play better>Just draw betterLike you can control how hard a roguelike deckbuilder wants to fuck you over at any time
>>737763703I really like the new neow's fury with the regeant since that class has a lot of 2 card combos, helps setting up massive radiate turns, it also saves your ass when you need stars to play reflect and brick on a draw. It even helps early game a bit just by being a 10 damage attack and having access to vuln
>>737822894Because people can admit they could've played better unlike (you)
>>737823029>You could've just played better! Here's mytes, hunter killer, exoskeletons, and slumber party btw!No.
>>737822113playing the rest of the run would feel pointless after cheating like that
>>737823075You could've built a better deck able to deal with some of those and use potions for the others
I have never had problem with mutes, Hunter killer or exoskeletons. Playing only Ironclad
>>737822894>Get Decimillipede as an elite or the quadruple bug faggots as a hallway fight>Don't draw any block on turn 1>Take 25+ damage and are nearly dead by turn 3 as a resultjust draw better lol!No matter what, you will get retards like >>737823029 who think that a game being RNG dependent means that you aren't allowed to complain when the RNG is especially fucked up and retarded.It's mostly an issue of enemy damage and strength scaling being ramped up to an excessive degree in 2 though.
>>737822894post your unwinnable seed and I'll play it to prove you suck
>>737823083I just do it because I can't tolerate roguelike games being so rng dependent so I end up cheating in all of them. The run is going fine after reaching the fire immediately after those 3 hard hallway fights I just suicide at the end of them if I end up beating them so it doesn't count towards the win %
>>737823137Yes just draw better is valid when you have control on what enter your deck. Just build better decks, learn better micro to save more hps, etc
>>737823137if you didn't draw block turn 1 then you should have enough damage to kill the 2 bugs that start out attacking. You did draft multihits and aoe right
>>737823213as long as you still have fun. There's definitely plenty of RNG but you can still win even when the RNG fucks you.
this mf got reptile trinket and a pot and he fuckin cryin like a lil baby
>>737823163NTA but can you play this seed? I have no idea how to properly play this seedDVM9K7YLJQall relics are shop relics but there are no late shops, so you have to fight that stupid waterfall giant with pretty much zero relics
>>737823429I'll try it. Waterfall giant is definitely a huge bitch on some seeds. I could see him being the lagavulin of sts2 that creates an unwinnable seed.
>>737823429Different anon but I'll take a look at it>Chose Phial over gambling two neows relicsWhy did you do that?
I'm getting worse bros...
>>737823518Phial is good against relics and I didn't want to gamble on Underdocks that are already very hard and can fuck you over
>>737823625>against relicsagainst elites*
>>737823625It would've been an upgraded strike & defend and a potion slot and card reward in your case. Starting with perfect strike means I'm halfway done already
>>737823518>>737823683I'm attempting it with phial since that's what anon picked. Neows could have been worse you just got lucky it sounds like
Stampede fucked me over on the phase change since I was waiting for mangle to cycle back in. Rip
At what ascension do I finally beat the tutorial. This is the worst deck I have ever built and I still beat the chink killer.
Guys literally only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting
>>737824415What happens if you clone this
Which way, Green Man?A one use 1 mana +2 STR(+ Vuln on enemy) + 50% extra damage for two turns(which enables colossus, vicious, cruelty) with exhaust synergy or a one use 1 mana +3 STR(one more! wow!) without any vuln or exhaust synergy?
lobby doko
booming conch make it boom... make it boom, make it boom
>>737824502maybe it's slightly different if you assume you'll never have synergies but overall dominate is much stronger
>>737824502
>>7378244621 enchant per card.You could mirror it in the shop I guess.
>>737824637Do you get softlocked if you mirror this and play it without any sly cards
>>737824502>inflame also costs 2 if you take the tanx +energy relic
>>737824602>if you assume you'll never have synergiesYou always have bash, so you always can get up to 4 strength
anyone used clone and just cloned like twice?like 4 dominate+ usually just wins or like 4 defrag?i've only done the op clone full shit
>>737822340because your penis is too small she doesn't need to
>>737824281good try, I hate gold relics, I hate waterfall giant and I hate underdocks
>>737824937That's a solid usage of it and probably what was intended given the existence of relics like the mirror. But for me, the times I haven't had an OP auto win clone card, it's been more worth it to take another relic than to copy a card a few times.

>>737823429I made it past him just by conserving all my potions and using 2 of them during the fight. Then making sure I killed him on a turn before I drew bash+colossus
>>737821723I'm already picking Large Capsule and old Soup on Ironclad and Regent anyways so this is good.
>>737825365Here's the cards I took. I took a path on the far right the whole time and fought 2 elites.
>>737825365gj, I guess main mistake was not going for early shop
>>737825461>>737824281I ended up taking the far left. Finding colossus on that path really made all the difference between our runs. >>737825086Its just rough luck. There's no way to know going in that you would have found those cards on his path. Easily the worst act 1 boss for ironclad though
>>737825647Yeah I think the early shop is where I got colossus
>>7378252723/4 here on this room. Hop on in anon
>>737825684Just knowing anon was getting fucked by waterfall giant that hard was enough to make me add cards aggressively. That first shop had fasten as well which might have been enough without colossus
>>737825647this happens to me sometimes. I greed out, ignore paths with shops to elitemaxx but don't gather the tools required to beat the boss
I think the witch and her minions is the act 1 boss I like the least. It's just so much combined hp that you need to chew through so early into the run. Like you kill both the minions and you're just left wailing on them for 4-6 turns.The only real threat is the multihit and you only need to deal with that like every 4th turn.
i don't understand how regent is supposed to do anythingevery other character i could beat asc10 easilythis fat fuck i can barely get past act 1if i go stars i either get too many or not enough generatorsif i go forge i get fucked by roaches and other multi-enemy groupsif i go random bullshit colorless i eventually get too much useless bullshit and it kills me
>>737825647>>737825684I ended up losing in act 2 which ended my ironclad streak. That seed was rough. I might have made it past waterfall giant but my ancient options in act 2 were dogshit and I died to entomancer after losing a ton of HP against decimillipede.
>>737827960I should have probably not taken relax and gone for Pael's eye instead. And there was an inferno that I skipped on to draft something else that probably would have saved me against ento and deci as well. A source of damage that doesn't add dazed makes a huge difference when struggling with him.
>wing boots are ba-bro just do a 5 elites act 1, fuck archie gon do?
>>737827715>if i go stars i either get too many or not enough generatorsThe thing with stars is that your second/third best star card becomes a curse if you're playing your best star card every deck cycle, which you probably want to do. I'd really focus on picking 1-2 star cards and keeping the deck slim to enable those, and then adding a Particle Wall or something similar. Venerate by itself can work. 1-2 copies of Gather Light and Glow are fine enough too. That's all you really need if you only have 1-2 payoff cards.>if i go random bullshit colorless i eventually get too much useless bullshit and it kills meThis certainly shouldn't be happening. Colorless cards are either quite strong or exhaust. Spectrum Shift, Manifest Authority, and Quasar are definitely quite good at giving Regent output. The cards you generate are going to be better than cards from your deck, on average.
>>737828417overgrowth feels much easier for ironclad than underdocks
>>737828417>using boots>using boots to seek elites>using boots to AVOID campfiresi kneel
Why do people think entrench is dogshit? It saved my run.
>>737828582>Colorless cards are either quite strong or exhaustrolling boulder, anointed, beat down, eternal armor, calamity, jackpot, volley, rend, catastrophe, nostalgia, the bomb, scrawlall of these are basically unplayable curses unless the enemy decides it's not attackingthere's also "this actually just kills me" like panic button and the gambit
>>737763659gg boys
You can invent a single card and it gets added to the game.What are you making?
>>737828726>using boots to seek elitesthat's the intended use case though
>>737828851GG brothers
>>7378288612 energy attack, it deals 4 AoE damage and heals for any unblocked damage then exhausts. Ironclad card
I got a crazy Ironclad + Strike buildPerfected Strike + card that makes you autoplay Strikes + Relic that clones your attacks into ethereal ones = free 200-300 damage per turnThat was only ascension 5 so basically nothing but I could've taken another boss after act 3 easily, finished at full health

>>737828816scrawl is consistently good. the rest of those are highly situational or snecko meme picks
>>737828981I had gang up with x2 dmg. I think fight me was worth.
>>737828861You randomly lose 3 (upgrade to 2) from str/dex/focus, and it is randomly added to the other values instead.
>>7378288613 mana colorless rare power Distorted Reality You draw cards from your exile pile instead of your deckYou discard cards into your deck instead of your discard pileYou exile cards into your discard pile instead of your exile pile
>>737829103It was a good choice since I could counteract it. I was getting screwed on star generation for all 3 acts until genesis showed up at the end, and then it got bottom decked for both bosses
>>737828861Ability to play cards using HP instead of energy
any mp lobbies? beta? please?
>>737823429Even after getting past act 1 this seems like a really hard seed. The next relics I got were juzu and lasting candy. Just nothing with immediate value again. Basically a relic bar full of shit doing nothing.

WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL SEETHING ABOUT DOORNIGGER? At least he doesn't prevent you from playing cards, reviving himself 2 times or become intangible
>>737827715well, half of his cards are invalidated by the fact that Forge just fucking sucks on averagestars is genuinely good but now you must rely on another resource pool in addition to manaI think they need to make forge better and also meld a little bit with his other play styles. Most classes have crossover cards between their major archetypesthe biggest issues with particular playstyles is how bad their commons are since that's all you're gonna realistically account for on higher Ascensions

>>737833310No that's stupid just for 1 turn
