Ended up with a way better version of the Vigor/multihit deck I'd been trying to make on the first attempt, though I guess it ultimately ended up being more of a Stardust-centric deck

Upgraded it ASAP. My deck was pretty focused on scaling anyways, so taking a setup turn to play Gaze + a block card didn't feel too terrible. Alignment also helped sometimes
Later on it got downgraded by the mirror event in act 3, but by then I was able to either cheat it out with Brilliant Scarf or simply stock up energy with Ice Cream

Check out this relic synergy. Pael eye+bread+diadem. Would have worked better on anyone but silent since I often lost value on the starter relic. But pael eye and bread are pretty much made for each other. And diadem triggers and keeps it's 50% damage taken buff the turn after playing pael's even if you play more than 2 cards.

>>737925865
Oh yeah and I had pocket watch too. Both bosses took me more than a dozen turns but barely took damage. Diadem OP.

Yeah oops, my deck was slow power spam/scaling, which at least doesn't proc his str gain but still doesn't do too much for phase 1. I think we could have killed him if we made to phase 2 though.

Well if you have a brain you can figure out the rest of the acts, Act 1 has the most critical pathing decisions. I think Xencar is right that card generation is preferable over stars. I've had easy games that either ignored stars for the most part, or used stars in Act 1 and pivoted into card generation or just random shit.
>>
>>737925039
I managed to at least get off Grand Finale a couple times that run, which is more than what I expected. Gambling Chip and as many draws and useful Sly cards as possible plus Speedster for value is how to do it, it seems.

Caleb made some great guides for general rules, like his deckbuilding video is pretty straightforward
>You can't pick cards that become better later, you need power NOW
>Therefore pick big numbers in act 1, and if you survive, analyze how your deck is blocking and dealing damage. Build on that.

His fight planning one is also great
>Would you rather take 19 to the face now, or just attack ? If there's no better damage or block coming, do what you must for this cycle
etc, etc.
His Ironclad and Regent videos really lost me though. He's leaning too much into a theoretical scenario where you take play Decicions into Decisions into royal gamble, into whatever and one shot a boss.
Of course, this could happen. We've all high rolled before and destroyed the act 3 bosses. Building decks as if you'll always do so is retarded.
I wish someone would make a "What to do when the deck offers you no fucking scaling and you're halfway through Act 2" guide because most runs will shit the bed here. I've seen players like Baalorlord and JapaneseExport pull through in moments like these, but none sit down to explain their thought process.

Hey, it's fully capable of winning the run by itself!
Sleight of Flesh is a good card. x2 SoF mean it's 26 damage per Defy cast (along with 14 blocks lol)
And Hidden Gem hitting any Defy or Enfeebling would sky rocketing it to 104 damage per cast. (which it will because I donated all strikes to the door)
It's just that our Ironclad has 54 STR that I don't get to do much lol

it's suck because big osty deck is kinda ass, overall.
the build dies very quicky to scaling enemies like the cultist in act3. it also doesn't have a lot of ways to scale since summon amount doesn't go up with anything except energy.

You might see this card dealing 200 damage for 0 energy with gigantic osty somewhere, but that doesn't really mean anything. if your osty can get that big, you would win with anything else too.
>>
Boss swap needs to come back as an option.
Snecko act 2 is too late, people don't take expensive cards in act 1 because there is no expectation of finding 4th energy.
>>

Sneko act 2 is perfect on Ironclad

>>
>>737933731
Did they change Break to 2? It was instapick whenever I got the option with 1.
>>
>>737933731
Suppress because Mega Crit darling can’t have bad anything
>>
>>737933768
idk that list is propably pre patch
>>
>>737933585
probably not a good option for necrobinder lol
>>
>>737933806
You have a summon card in your starter deck.
>>
>>737933731
break is easily the best improvement and maybe the best overall, the only other one in the running is meteor shower. quadcast and suppress are good but not on the same level. break is one of the best cards in the game.
>>
>>737933731

probably break though I unironically like Protector a lot since I keep getting Otsy focused cards when I play necro
>>
>>737933845
Yeah, but without the summon passive, you literally can't use any osty attack card without using a summon card first. and if you can't keep osty alive (good luck with that) you have to use summon card again to activate thodse cards.
Imagine drawing your boneshard+ in the first turn at phantasmal gardener, but you can't use it because there's no osty. it's going to feel like shit.
>>
>>737933731
Good: break, suppress, shower
Mid: Protector, quadcast
>>
>>737933731
>Meteor Shower
Best general upgrade, very hard to go wrong no matter what kind of deck you have. Extremely good
>Break
The best cards for Ironclad right now are vuln related so this is pretty great. Especially if you get the card draw power
>Suppress
Hard to go wrong. Extremely good in any deck
>Quadcast
It's good
>Protector
It's, uh... better than the card it's replacing.
>>
>get rare card from neow that helps a specific archetype

2 because or the fucked up scaling necessitating coordination and skill

>>737933731

>>
>>737934042
the variance is TOO high. some boss relic like Big Hug, Electric Shrymp, Toasty Mitten, is a death sentence. some class might be able to tank it, necro without passive osty will die for certain.
>>
>>737934114
Yeah but that means your retarded duo has to pick a good character

>>
>>737933731
Meteor Shower for me. Break is an amazing stat stick but Meteor Shower feels like it solves more problems for Regent than Break does for Ironclad.
>>
>>737934571
To clarify, I meant actual boss relics, not the shitty ancient boons we're stuck with in this game.
It wouldn't be as broken with something that gives a 4th energy for a downside, but probably still playable. Pbox or amid swap would be instant win as always.
>>
>>737934531
>>737934635
Also this was to illustrate that the lack of innate osty isn't such a great downside as you envision it. You just don't pick osty cards and instead take something else that's strong. And once you summon you can usually keep him alive with the increased output from the boss relic.
>>
>>737934481
you get 4 more base damage though
>>
>>737924439
Act 1 is by far the hardest so if you figure that out you're mostly good to go
>>
>>737934721
Necro has 14 cards that requires Osty to be alive to function.
You can play the game without it, yes, doesn't mean it is a good design.

Also, you missed a point a little bit.
Shitty boss swap is torelable on most character.
Shitty boss swap on necro will end the run for almost certain.

And, too many boss swap in simply unfun.
card enchantment like Shrymp / Clone / Tri Boomerang SUCK giga ass.
Biig Hug will kills you on the spot
Pael's tooth will kills you if you're unlucky
Toasty Mitten can also kills you if it exhause your strikes a few time during early fight
Glitter is TOO good to get in Act1, so much that it won't be fun to play anymore if you hit it.

The fun parts that you get from boss swap isn't outweighted by the unfun parts.
and there'are too many exceptions you have to make for the boss swap to be reasonable.
>>

>>
anyone else playing on steam deck having more random crashes? playing on the beta version
>>
>>737933731
Suppress, break and meteor shower are all S tier
Quadcast is B+ tier
Protector is C tier
>>
>>737933585
>people don't take expensive cards in Act 1
What? Like a fair amount of 2+ costs (that aren't just cheated out like Stomp or half of Silent's 2+ cost cards) across the board are perfectly serviceable/good even without the expectation of 4th energy/even arguably without the expectation of energy cheating options.
>>
>>737933731

protector sucks Otsy's max hp resets whenever it dies. If it stayed the same and it just spawned with 1 current hp, it could be good as a guaranteed big dick swing option for 1 cost after some build up. Summon also doesn't scale that well, so it's not like you can reliably rebuild the HP pool

I know you're just being facetious but even Orobas's upgrade to your starter relic (Summon 5 at combat start and Summon 2 every turn) gives you +6 damage compared to its +4. Even its flat bonus is meh.
>>
Honestly I can't tell if I'm bad at the game or not. There are times I am absolutely destroying enemies, don't even take damage for like 9 combats in a row, etc. Others its like the game is purposefully drawing the worst cards, attacks when I need to defend, defends when I need to attack. High cost draw when I'm debuffed, skills that help but I have no synergy cards drawn, etc.

Really fucking tired of every faggot enemy getting strength every turn too. Or all these annoying ass fucking 'buffs' enemies get like "can't lose Xhp turn per turn!" or "all of your attacks deal 30% less!", "takes only 1 damage! for 10 turns in a row lol!". It's just boring as fuck, wasting my time.

Removing strikes and defends costs too much and you don't even get the same opportunities per run to do so. A lot of relics are fun but "useless" for you (strike dummy) unless you go out of your way to use them best. Card energy being only 3 per turn at then base kind of sucks too. Having 4 or 5+ energy is great because you can you know, actually play your cards. There's too many 2+ energy cards that just aren't even worth using at all because it consumes 66% of your entire turn and leaves you with no other real options besides "strike" or "defend".

And ascending difficulties aren't really any more fun. It's just more annoying. Getting cards forced into your deck you can't do anything with isn't a "challenge" it's just annoying. Things costing more is annoying and choice limiting. Enemies taking more damage and dealing more is the most banal challenge of all; if you're going to win it's just going to take longer or force you into bad scenarios later.

What are you saying here >>737933585 you only meant Darv relics pool?
These things in the pic that's literally in the same category as others? Why don't you just say DARV'S RELICS then? A simple mistakes?
Surely you didn't make things up to suit your narrative. you're such an honest man after all.

Alright, I get you then.
You want boss swap not because it's interesting, you just want ez mode because Darv relics pool is x10 better than StS1 boss relics pool, not a single one is bad. All of them is amazing when you get it early to build your deck around.
There's literally no reason to not swap your starter relic to any of these on any character.

I had too much respect for your gameplay skill, my bad!

4 of that block can linger between turns, and have effects that increase your damage

That's why it shouldn't be 3 cost. 2 cost is still meh but maybe making it 2 upgrade to 1 cost dealing 4 damage would be ok. But then it again overlaps too much with accuracy. I hope they rework the card.

All attack cards in your entire deck that have Osty attack something increase that card's damage by 5. So you want that card and a lot of other Osty cards.
>>
>>737948957
So now it’s up to Rng of what cards game offered you? There’s too much Rng in spire. If you’re good you can win 80% of the time but those wins are absolutely not equal, someone will roll in with infinite and kills you on turn 1 and there’s nothing you can do, opponent got Apparition? Gg, there’s nothing you can do, got block build and enemy is stacking poison? Gg. PvP is only fun’s when players are on equal footing

>>
>>737947992
Everyone knows this already you don't need a eceleb to tell you to figure this shit out, zoomer.

My main gripe wih Silent is that she has very few options for non-dishonest damage, and she has insane blocking capabilities so playing with her most of the time just takes fucking forever. And while I do love playing high-damage Silent, Tracking feels like a complete wtf card since you're scaling damage when the enemy is dealing less damage to you, on the character that has Paper Krane which works all the time instead of for a few turns like Debilitate (and Necro needs to put effort into stacking persisting Weak). Applying and amplifying Vulnerable without messing up Lethality is also a premium on Necro. Silent just gets to apply Weak and deal double damage on the enemy with 0 downside it's shocking they even allowed that card to be in the game honestly.

I've found the one time I had it that Eidolon is great for exhausting Strikes and Defends and any curses like Greed or Ascender's Bane. However you need to upgrade it for it to be usable at 1 cost, and you also need a way to flood your hands with shit like Souls or Undeath to exhaust them all for the intangible, and you ideally also need something to benefit from mass exhausting like Joss Paper or if you're lucky Dark Embrace from Ironclad at philosophers event

In short, it kinda sucks

One one hand, when I see posts talking about balance, I consider if the poster is an A0 enjoyer. If I think they are, I consider them a retard and disregard their opinion.

On the other, I think the game is balanced around A0 and ascensions are just there as a kind of endgame for sadists. It only serves to invalidate decks and strategies, which is anti-fun especially considering the RNG element.

This sums up my experience as well. Ironchad is fairly straightforward. His vuln, strength stacking, exhaust and self harm archetypes all seem to fit seemlessly together and you can figure out which one you want to focus on pretty early on. But I cannot for the life of me figure out what to do with Necrobinder. It's like focusing on any one archetype will fuck you over and trying to get them all working together will also fuck you over.

Doormaker is a badly designed fight since he is even more RNG dependent than the rest of the game. You basically have to draw perfect hands on each turn to deal with his gimmicks or else you lose, which punishes having a well-rounded deck anyway.

>playing when I'm at my best
Blog post but relevant to this. I threw a run last night trying to play when sleepy because I got an infinite on doormaker (third turn, thinned deck down to only 2 pokes) and I thought I lost because I was so focused on getting his hp down to his doom stacks. Then I realized, shit, he's going to die from doom but because doom only works at the end of THEIR turn, he'll attack me first and I'll die. So I just gave up and let him kill me. It wasn't until this morning I was thinking about and I realized... I had a 0 mana infinite. I could have just hit him until he died. But i was so caught up on his doom stacks for no reason.
Basically yeah playing in a bad mental state is a bad idea.

Ironclad is easy because basically all of your archetypes do the same thing: do damage. No other character has that level of homogeneity in archetypes. Defragment does nothing for Claw builds, Doom shit does nothing for Osty builds, Prepared does nothing for poison builds, and I'm not even going to bother talking about how conflicting Regent builds are.

There's a reason tons of "top" players use Ironclad.

It's pretty good but I only found it particularly busted when I was able to get multiple copies or additional defends.

honestly one of my safest choices to get a defense plan rolling and win a run, i'm usually playing silent, necrobinder and defect, so i'm typically removing strikes before defends and usually getting max value by the time i find this card.. 2 defends (20 block) + weak is really good defense against a lot of enemies

and that reminds me how much I hate this "card", even if full exhaust deck this piece of shit is always a problem card, requires god RNG for Thrash to target it, second wind can't exhaust it, doesn't work with corruption. I hate it

I agree that it's the worst but very hot cocoa and the mittens are welcome in many decks

Drawing bad luck turn 1 two fights in a row is downright criminal behavior.

>>737969045
great with stampede
>>
>>737969061
I like most of these actually. the only ones I truly dislike are mittens and the act 2 exclusive ones.
compass can be okay if your paths are truly shit, but gotta be seriously struggling to ever consider the candle or wax relics.
>>737969140
mittens on characters like defect or necro that draw discard to hand instead of draw pile is miserable in my experience.

What a horrible night for a curse

>>737969323
I would never take mittens on defect but on clad/silent they're great
>>
>>737968597
>those orbits
oh lawd he gamin
>>
>>737969045
Always smash one of those if I have Stoke
And as other anon said, works with stampede too. Although I try to avoid Stampede now, its a noob trap.
Its great early on to push some damage on Act 1 but later you'll usually always stampede strikes
>>
>>737969365
wait i thought flesh was the double block one. and you won't convince me that extra card draw is bad ever, that's ridiculous. it's one of the relics that works in every deck

Yeah IC could use a few more ways to Exhaust attacks, it's just True Grit, a very lucky Cinder, Havoc or a few rares.
>>
>>737969061
The buffed Soup is great
Golden Compass if you get a shit layout is pretty decent (and the other options dont interest you)

Flesh is +Energy starting on turn 3, double block every other turn is Pael's Legion
Wing is okay too I think if your map is full of hallway fights
>>
>>737969474
Honestly thats why I hardly ever duplicate the deck unless I'm packing 5+ cards that can get rid of it at any time
>>
>>737969589
if you can afford to smith at every fire you are winning anyway and it won't matter.
>>
>>737969470
It's a slight bonus but I can very easily picture a scene where I draw plans, footwork and 2 defends on 3 energy while getting attacked for 20.
Even that flesh wall thing is better and that's still just a bad unmovable.
>>
>>737969589
Cards are allowed to be good
>>
>>737969647
I had like such an amazing deck, 6 x hangs with nothing but souls and card draw

but Im FUCKED by this stupid curse.
>>
>>737969484
Horn is absolute ass, don't opine on anything ever again.
>>
>>737969174
are you really gonna hang onto your Strikes throughout Act 1 and just hope that Tez spawns and has Soup as a choice?

>>737969140
>>737969323
there's too little upside and a lot of downside for many of the relics he's got. They need to be reworked so that every character can benefit so you don't get screwed.

>>737969505
But Golden Compass is a boss relic though. It's supposed to actually do something and help you beat the game. With other Ancients you literally get stuff for free and no downside.
>>
>>737969589
would be even worse in sts2
>>
>>737969806
>are you really gonna hang onto your Strikes throughout Act 1 and just hope that Tez spawns and has Soup as a choice?
if you're Ironclad? yes
>>
>>737969606
>Pael's Eye 18% pick -4% delta
lol what group of shitters is this pulling from
>>
>>737969970
i don't play ironclad he is too hard to play
>>
>>737970032
eye is good for when you draw your curses
>>
>>737969970
>>737970051
did they also nerf Ironclad too? I feel like I'm never getting any strong Block cards and all of his synergistic cards rely so much on Vulnerable and yet he has so little viable deck-cycle for being able to consistently put out Vulnerable.
>>
>>737943508
like once or overall winrate of all attempts?
>>
>>737970228
yes doing the barricade 999 thing is harder, corruption is an ancient reward and he has worse block overall. you need to kill things quickly
>>
patch when?
>>
>>737970228
Offering, Pommel Strike, Burning Pact, Battle Trance, Vicious...
>>
They got rid of Fiend Fire too? wtf
it's not even to play him anymore.

>>737970661
it costs energy to play those. Other than Thunderclap, Bash, Uppercut, there's no other way to apply Vulnerable and continue progressing in the fight. You still have to block. You still have to play the card with the Vulnerable synergy. If you don't get an Energy relic, life is hard.
>>
>>737970945
Click every Bloodletting and Offering you see and accept that you will have to rest often in Spire 2
