man, seeing sts2 being so popular makes me wonder how big darkest dungeon 2 would be if the devs just stuck to polishing the first game's formula instead of trying to reinvent the wheel for no reason
Is it true they gutted Ironclad in 2? I really enjoyed exhausting all my cards and hitting things for 200 damage with body slam, can you still do that?

>>738797739ah yes DD the game where the devs seethed whenever players found something that worked
>>738797701>anything below a10 is just too easyTrue.
Would you call this a deck-building issue or a combat-playing issue? Probably both, but would you have won the boss gauntlet with this deck? I died to Subject after taking gorillion damage to Queen cause I didn't kill the minion fast enough (and I drew no block on important turns, and I was frail).
>>738798130>no elites in act 2 and 3You played too safe, you pussy
>>738794716>dd2it still hurts
>>738798319That's true, but the paths weren't very nice either. What relics would've turned this deck around? I doubt a pantograph would've helped. Now that I look at this deck, there is no draw, so I had no way to fix those bad hands vs heavy hits.
>>738798021>responding to bait
>>738798130thats a difficult deck to win withsword is hella slow if you dont have ways to either ramp the fuck out of forge or return it to your hand multiple times per cycle, and you dont really have any other way to deal damageon the other hand you do have diadem so you can play slower than shit while taking like 4 damage a turn max so i dunnoif you had a way to exhaust shit to ramp cycle itd probably be good enough
>>738797924Nobody cares.
>>738798130weirdly similar to the run i finished an hour ago. id say. Biggest problem i see is low energy generation (no orbits), sword wincondition with no summon forth which basically means your parry is worthless with that decksize since if you use the sword it will take at least 4 turns to see it again and low amount of block basically 3 relevant blocking cards in this big of a deck is bad
>>738798452draw is the name of the game vs both queen and nigger lizard, so yeah it looks like you needed a a bit more.
>>738797924good job anon. Barricade body slam? heart or just act 3?
>>738797924I care, I hope I can get past A17 soon
>>738798452You get higher chance of rare card and more gold too
>>738798130imo a deck-building problem, since i have no idea what your combats are but i'm seeing a major lack of card drawsomething like a cosmic indifference or summon forth could have done you wonders on subject if you got shafted on his third form
>>738797924proud of you son now do it with defect
>>738794791Big block is sort of gone because your only reliable way to get it is through an ancient (boss) relic and a rare card you're never guaranteed to see. Body slam is still in the game though.Exhaust is still a thing, Strength gain is gone, Vulnerable as an archetype needs some massive tweaking, but he's still alright.
>>738794791Stat site says Ironclad has much higher winrate than Necrobinder, unbelievable

>>738798432the worst part is how much more production values they poured into 2 just for it to end up being such a lesser experience
>>738794716DD was doomed from the start because Redhook themselves didn't understand what made their game good. There was one interview where they asked one of the devs what his favorite character was and he just went "Oh yeah I don't really play the game, I just make it harder. That's what you guys like right? lol"They stuck to the worst aspects of DD1 and failed to commit at making something fresh and exciting. RNG fucking you over is fine in DD1 because it runs on DnD rules, sometimes you roll nothing but 20s and smoke a boss in two turns, sometimes the first hallway schools you on overconfidence. This philosophy doesn't translate well into a roguelike where runs can take well over an hour and the bosses just says "fuck you" and ruins your run by killing your tank, only to replace him with a Vestal or Jester without your input. They also did the scummiest thing possible by releasing a half-baked game at full price and THEN charge you 20 bucks for 2 fucking characters.If it's of any comfort to you, Redhook got sold to the Dead by Daylight studio, a fate worse than death.
>>738798587>Decisions,nice, something like that would've saved me, and I could've gotten that from an elite.

>>738799670Just console command straight to A10
>>738799192That makes sense because ironclad is better than necrobinder. He's probably the strongest in the game next to silent after all the buffs since launch
>>738799192Necro struggles the most to scale her damage.Her playstyle is usually to go turtle mode and let Osty get big, but the only payoff cards to Big Osty is your starter, and in later acts it falls off immediately because all enemies scale faster than you do. Feels like she doesn't have any cards to counter this by herself, because you need to build an archetype whether you want it or not, and A10 separates the cards from their archetypes.>Noxious fumes is a part of the poison archetypeWrong>Noxious fumes is a good card if you need an AoE solve, and it just to happens to combo with other poison cards like Bubble Bubble and AccelerantCorrect.But if you want to play Necro you need your rares to lean you into picking certain cards, which naturally sucks.
>>738797958Bonafide.>>738798665Didn't go for keys so I guess I didn't beat the game. I ended up with a busted hybrid deck that had the full exhaust engine with corruption, dark embrace, and two feel no pains, but also some substantial strength stacking with inflame+, spot weakness, and limit break and whirlwind to cash in, and ALSO the block suite with barricade and body slam. Dead branch and that event relic that gives you a free power at start of combat let me cheat everything out, and on 2nd boss (timeslurper) I got lucky with free demon form as the random power. >>738798680You can do it! If all else fails snecko eye will eventually carry you like it did me for a couple ascensions.>>738798891Fuck that shitty robot. I've always sucked as him.

>>738800058>Strongest next to SilentNo way. Silent and Regent are the top tiers.
>>738800058>He's probably the strongest in the game next to silentnot when regent and defect exist.
>>738800140>>738800176Regent is good but he's not silent and ironclad tier.
>>738800213>92% winrate>not as good as IroncladAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>738800078*mummified hand, not dead branch
>>738800076The problem with scaling osty, is that it depends entirely on healing with Spur(or getting a lucky Electric Shrymp Reanimate).They need to add another healing card for Osty, preferably common.
>>738800264Why are you lying about winrate? Post your run history so I can laugh at you.
>>738800213Regent is the best char in the game right now. He just filters low iq retards into thinking he's bad.
>>738800337https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6a5zUvmZWI
>>738800405oh nevermind I just realized I'm arguing with a streamerbrained idiot. I'm basing my opinion off of 250 hours in STS2 and 50+ games on every character at a10. Keep parroting though.
>>738800472so let me get this straight. Streamer that has 500+ hours and 100+ games is wrong and you're right?
>>738800392He's really good but he's slightly worse than silent and ironclad. Ironclad is the true filter. People think he's bad because they are too low IQ to take advantage of all the buffs he got and cry about him being different from STS1. If 92% is possible on regent (and it's not, no one is uploading a full run history with that winrate) then 100% is easily doable on ironclad just by it being stronger.
>>738800557so let me get this straight. You have no opinion of your own and are just parroting what some e-celeb told you right?
>>738799450sts is also "rng game" that can fuck you up with poor draws and make you lose at bosses, that's not the reason dd2 fails. If anything dd2 is also a lot lighter on rng than dd1 wasthe reason dd2 doesn't work well is because it's runs are way too fucking long for a rougelike formula. Late confessions can take 4-5 hours, and if you are not using guides there will be tons of "knowledge checks" that can easily smoke you in the first times meeting them and just not fully knowing what to expect.also in sts you instantly jump to the next location and can instantly land several attacks, in dd2 there is long ass pointless traversing animations and slow attack animations between typically 8 characters the story was also lame, like they completely missed the appeal of cosmic horror despite nailing it so perfecctly in dd1. Cosmic horror is not supposed to be just "metaphoric"
>chart autism>streamer worshipyum
>>738800680>always pushes "I have better winrate than you" as proof his word is correct>when confronted with opinion of someone who has more hours and better winrate than him(streamer) that it instantly doesn't counthmmmmmmmm
>>738800405>Not even XecnarShiggy DiggyI like Caleb's guides but this one and his Ironclad one are shit>So theoretically, you could get perfect draw against the boss, and have all the resources to play all your cards in one turn. So, you can win.
>>738800850Xecnar is an ESL faggot that plays pre-determined seeds
Regent is lame and unspired>card creationJust making random overstatted cards and getting rewarded for it, minions are cool I guess, even if they are samey>forgemost forge cards suck and are boring normal cards + forge>starseither normal cards that grant stars or overstatted normal cards that cost stars, nothing fancy, multiple repeats of his starter card
>>738801031He's honestly the most boring character because he doesn't have many routes he can go through. You see bulwark you always take it. You see child of the stars, you take it. Too many snap picks.

>>738800557why would you believe people encouraged to lie on the internet for views
>>738800936You keep accusing him of cheating without any proof at all anon, if you're so sure he's doing it surely you can prove it?
Currently it's Silent > Defect > Necro = Clad > Regent imo. Regent to me is starting to feel very samey. Card creation feels like the only archetype that's actually consistent enough without strong relics. If you can find Block on Clad then he's better than Necro since he's not restricted by Lethality only working on the first Attack, but otherwise Necro has an easier time blocking while dealing damage.
>>738800076I think necro has a lot of ways to scale damage. Ending up with enough block/summon that your base deck unleash solves damage is just one way but she has plenty of other big hit attacks to take in case osty never grows. And sleight of flesh exists. I think it’s just surviving the early turns with her that is hard because, outside of your basic attacks and defends, everything she has is do stuff later cards like powers or put souls in the draw pile. If you draw bad and don’t have relics or potions to cover it you get hit.
Personally, I'm just playing some of the better mods for right now. Freshening up the experience a little. Hong Lu's been the funny kind of busted, when you can get a build together.
>>738799670that's the first time i've seen someone complain like that, don't worry about it, keep joining lobbies
>>738801860Necro is kind of similar to Defect in my view. They both suffer the most in early turns to setup but once that's done they're basically immortal. And they both have issues with AoE so you need to pick specific cards to solve that aspect. Both want to remove all Strikes more than other characters and both are very good at Blocking and dealing burst damage but they're not Attack spamming characters. Defect is better atm because they overbuffed Shatter and the new boss makes Compact an S-tier pick. Necro also deals with the new boss well but doesn't complete trivialize it the same way Compact does.
jorbs has such dumb takes on some cards. why the fuck would I not insta slam defy. It’s still the most busted block card that necro has without danse and relics active and putting weak on an enemy helps you block with danse and covers bad draws when you chain weak. Am I gonna skip defy to take a pull aggro when I have no danse? Fuck no. All of necros 2-cost blocks aren’t good block output without helmet/danse. 11 block for 2 energy is kinda bad and gets you hit a lot which is exactly what he says earlier for another card. Delay+grave warden doesnt even full block bowlbug duo.
A10. We accept nothing less but picrel
>>738802402Also defy opens up banshees cry and sleight and pagestorm which are all incredible. Spirit of ash is good too. The other etherals are totally ass to activate any of these synergies.

>>738810356what to boss mechanic you need to engage with and what to not, is one of itfor example vs Hag. if you waste your damage trying to help your potted hero, she just re-summon it, the fight progress nowhere.but on the Shambler, while you can also burst it down, if your team is not build on for that you need to manage some clapper claw before it get out of hand.>>738811116raising 2 heroes still take the same amount of time as raising 4, just that you get 2 extra after you're done.

I'm not bragging like this is some big achievement, the game simply isn't that hard on normal mode. I think you're overblowing the game's difficulty and attributing your shitter experience to the average player.
>>738811431>raising 2 heroes still take the same amount of time as raising 4no it doesn't?you are constantly spreading XP across your entire roster strategically, not leveling the same 4hero teams equally, you also don't want to overlevel anyone too soon as that locks them out from clearing lower level bossesthe game also gives you a couple tools to powerlevel heroes, like stagecoach, events, or just brining 1 low level hero to a higher level dungeon with a strong team to be fair I think the normal difficulty sucks, stigyan/blood moon are the way to go becaus they actually have a limit on how many runs you can do
Clone is so fucking stupid it's awesome.
>>738812394I think best description about DD is tedious>STS>runs are up to 1.5 hours>if you lose because you met something new you don't lose anything outside that run>every run new and fresh because of random relics, bosses, cards>both macro and micro decisions matter equally to defeat fights>DD>your team you send into dungeon is preset by you with preset skills>macro decisions matter far more than micro decisions>you have kill everything three times with zero changes in bosses besides more hp/damage>any loss due to bad rng can cost you hours of tedious grindImagine if every time you lost a10 run you got locked out playing a10 until you beat a9? This is level of tedium DD operates on
>>738813146>loss due to bad rng
>>738813252yeah you can lose a character purely because of several crits in a row.I added it because I knew you'd be unable to actually defend games insane tedium so you'll attack "heh, you have to be good enough to never lose anyone"
>grashopper stole supermassive+ in a deck where I have quasar, begon!, collision and pillarthis can't be happening
>>738813506>I said something dumb because I knew you'd disagree with itAmazing. Losing a hero doesn't end your run. If you're losing enough to end a run, it's not because of endless RNG fucking. You're making excuses for your bad decisions.
>>738813627I hate that motherfucker like you wouldn't believe.
>>738813865>died to milipede right before the bossI had no AoE but I still blame the hopper
>>738813745>I said something dumb because I knew you'd disagree with itbut I didn't say something dumb. You can lose a character due to string of bad RNG, if you deny this is even possibility you must operate on some INSANE level of cope.>Losing a hero doesn't end your runNone said that, you're not even trying to address my point.DD difficulty is built on top of tedium, tedium and more tedium. Loss is punished with tedium

>>738814263Managing attrition is part of the game. You're attributing the result of your many fuckups to "tedium." Funny that you bring up cope.
Smith or tyranny? (Third option is make it so)Tyranny is my favorite Regent card, but The Smith is good damage. I don't have the stars tho.
>>738815028Smith without stars or decisions is pretty bad. Tyranny can be useful all run and good against aeon.
>ez run>get to final boss>queen>lose Man the rng on card draw is usually fine but if you get 9 “I need this” cards shackled back to back you kinda just die because strikes defends and a couple uncommons is not enough to tank 35 per turn
>>738814465are you actual retard or pretending to be?We're discussing possibility that you can walk into a fight, all enemies deciding to attack one singular character and criting him. There's nothing in game preventing that from happening.For that you're punished by running mind numbingly dull easy dungeons(for which you need to prepare new team because lol lmao other guys are too good to enter low level) to level a replacement.This is nothing but tedium and that's majority of DD.You're contorting yourself into a pretzel to avoid actual discussion which is why I'm saying that you're coping>inb4 he does address anything AGAIN and just says "just play better lmao"
>>738797924Good job anon
>>738815139>flipping a coin is unfair because you could flip tails 7 times in a row, it's bad designYup, you're attributing your bad experience resulting from shitty decisions to "bad luck."
>>738815391Are you American? Only Americans have such insane level of reading comprehension.If losing a10 in sts2 locked you out of a10 until you beat a9, would that be good game design? Because that's what DD is

>>738817636>not saving by saving foul potsboring
do I build exhaust every time to win on ironclad?
>>738815497maybe you should make up your own challenge run or cheat and keep save backups if endgame makes you that anxious. for me it's downloading 150 class mods, random hero start, and stukov's prison break (no stagecoach, but prisoner rooms can spawn in every zone). i get an event for a random party on week 1 and 3 but otherwise i'm fucked if enough prisoners don't spawn. to me that's fun because i usually have to do weeks 2 and 4 with afflicted heroes and it's a funny dramatic trainwreck with my units screaming at each other. no other game does tantrums and disobeying the player as well imo. you really feel the essence of existence in there. thanks to all that i get super attached to a run that gets off the ground or a party with miraculous synergy. every new unit i find is sooooo important and cool, every death is so tragic and impactful. otherwise yeah it's kinda like you said. if you have no intrinsic goal you can default to grinding infinitely or doing dark runs with level 0s and never care about anything and be upset when something gets in your way of the extrinsic goal of the i win screen or achievement at the end. caring can be rekindled no matter how much of a jaded metagamer you think you are though. i'm a natural optimizer but even i learned to enjoy making little weekly report segments with an llm in between dungeons to flesh out the last dungeon's drama and utilize all the story threads that a high variance game like DD is so unique in constantly throwing at the imaginative brain. maybe you enjoy doing that so much, you end up creating high quality hero or enemy mods inspired by the offscreen worldbuilding you start to build up. it was like that for me and kenshi, writing fanfic character journals while autorunning to places. it inspired me to learn fun computer stuff like blender and my mod's got like 60k downloads, pretty sweet and positive i think. just my tip of the day for any stagnated gamers.

Sleight of Flesh couldn't be more broken even if they tried. What is this shit man. 35 stacks of sleight of flesh. Deathbringer + Transmutation (just with replay 1) did 140 damage AND it applied 52 doom and 2 weak.Isn't spamming sleight and debuffs the best thing you can do with her? It feels like it. I kind of wish this was toned down a bit to make the rest of her stuff better. Runs where you don't get sleight or danse macabre and a bunch of ways to proc it are orders of magnitude more difficult in my opinion.>>738825080Sorry I was playing. I was going to reply but yes, it's basically this >>738826423You can greedmaxx with the character which really fits my playstyle and way to look at the game.

>Almost wipe to Aeonglass>Perfect the QueenDraw silent is still crazy with Corrosive Wave.
>>738827361Sleight of flesh runs get old because there is almost no micro involved, just play cards. Depending on on how strong you are you may have to consider skipping a sleight of flesh in your first deck cycle but once they’re in play you just click random cards and win.
>>738827617Ah yes she also has these 1 card archetypes which is kind of weird.You got the one (1) hang? You get to play a hang run.You got the one (1) eradicate? You get to play an eradicate run.Otherwise it's a bit all over the place I feel like. The osty archetype is mostly a meme and there's barely any payoffs unless you get squeeze + sentry mode.Doom is more than playable on its own but once again, sleight of flesh basically solves doom's biggest weakness which is having to block the last hit, since sleight of flesh kills immediately.The payoffs for other cards require you to play said cards (pull does nothing without ethereal cards, no escape does nothing without doom, etc), but sleight of flesh synergizes with almost everything the character does or with cards that you mostly want to play (debuffs, AoE debuffs, weak sources, etc)Same with danse, it solves block so efficiently I feel like whenever I get these cards working together the difficulty is lowered dramatically.The more I think about it the more I feel like they're the strongest kits by a fucking landslide unles you get something giga retarded. Like this retarded run I had a while ago which was just the stupidest shit on earth, but it was mostly an ice cream thing.

>>738839702>>738839397BTW Earring and gambling chip is an amazing combo. You get to use gambling chip before Vakku plays, and Vakuu always just plays cards from left to right, so you can mulligan your first hand and force him to play certain cards.

They really need to buff Necro next patch because she's starting to feel like the worst character in the game now with how much they overbuffed the other characters. For some reason they're so eager to fix one of Silent's very few bad cards Blade of Ink into an overtuned monstrosity but have been doing everything in their power to nerf Necro into the ground when she too has a bunch of useless cards.
The Regent is simply too fun.Vakuu almost managed to screw this run up, but the pantograph saved me, and 5 energy was too cool to pass up on. Btw I hate knight trio because they exhaust my blade.
