Is Bread good for you?
>>739185671Way too punishing for turn 1. I can pick it with Hot Cocoa or LanternOr Defect with Boot Sequence
Now that I think about it, War Hammer doesn't feel like a strong boss relic. You only fight 2 elites in Act 3, so you get 8 random upgrades.
>>739185856You look at the map (to see if you can hit atleast 2 Elites and pivot from the path leading to an Elite if the worst comes to pass)You look at your deck (and evaluate how important the upgrades are)You think if you can survive the elite without an Ancient Relic that ACTUALLY helps in combatYou look at the other 2 options offered as opposed to War HammerAnd then you chooseTanx in general can feel underwhelming if your deck doesn't have attacks for the dmg in which case, you are more likely to pick War Hammer because it's better than putting Instinct on >Dagger Throw + 2 Strikes
OH MY GOD BRO THIS GAME IS DEAD. ITS DEAD NO PLAYERS ON WE CANT EVEN GET A MULTIPLAYER GAME WITH 4 PLAYERS ITS OVER RUN RUUUUUUUUUUUN
>>739185671people tell me turn 1 is the most important so idk, so far I've never taken it. same with the event that gives you max hp for drawing 2 less cards turn 1
>>739185671today daily is very fun
>>739185856>8 random upgradesnot run breaking but still very good, especially if you're lacking upgrades
Do i take this relic that upgrades my whole deck and all the cards i add to it? Or do i take upgrade 4 with condition randomly? If youre not skilled enough to get option 1 all the time youre bad at the game
>>739186747yeah, balance of ancients is wack. What Anthony was thinking when making Apotheosis and Warhammer?
>>739186835he can easily fix it by moving warhammer to act 2.
>>739185829works with happy flower too if you autistically line it up for the first turn each combat
>>739186546Taking big mushroom is worth it just because it makes your character huge. Even if its objectively bad.
>>739186747Yeah, I once had Bing Bong and took the Apotheosis without thinkingWould War Hammer be better in this instance?Absolutely. My deck was complete with the exception of Corrosive Wave (deck had like 2 Bursts+ and 3 Brightest Flame+)Bu it was Silent so I wasn't losing much by having 2 Apos in my starting hand. It would not restrict me to brute force through Elites unlike War Hammer
>>739186835Apotheosis is -2 energy (-1 once you upgrade) and -1 draw on turn 1 while warhammer can just finish upgrading your entire deck without that downside. I don't think they are that uneven. It's downside is just that it's worthless for the first elite fight and starts incrementally getting better until it's better than apotheosis by the bosses.

>>739187609Why are you posting a selfie?
>>739187305Apo is always worth it, even if you have to burn a rest site to upgrade it. You never have to upgrade a single card after that and you can just rest, lift, or dig every time.
that was pretty though

>>7391877962/4!
GGGame refused to give me Thunder until right at the very end and I never saw a single Tesla Coil anywhere either. Also no Voltaic. All the good lightning payoff cards were nowhere in sight the entire run, so I had to make do with halfassing both ways and that's why I did the worst out of any of us that run. Necro's debuffing was one of the biggest reasons we even won that
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST
>>7391877963/4
>>739186747except for if you're only missing a few upgrades and can't afford to burn 2 energy on every turn 1
>>739188408In what world can you miss few upgrades unless you have tiny microdick, which is almost impossible on new patches
>>739188530idk pretty sure it happened to me more than once. where fighting 2 elites for 8 random upgrades which would always hit something good because my deck was thinned out enough made more sense than having to pay for Apotheosis at the start of every battle
I can't believe I'm actually, unironically dying to Aeonglass. This time on Defect cause I had no good damage. And he scaled to 34x2 lol

>>739188795This is why ways to get block that ignore his dex down as well as ways to get energy to make the Withers fuck off are useful cards and relics to look for

>>739187979nah sometimes the other choices are way better if you already have plenty of upgrades.
>>739188530eggs exist. you can get a lot of upgrades from pathing into events and lots of fires too. I've had plenty of runs with 30+ card where the majority of my deck is upgraded.

tested Debilitate with Cruelty and it works as advertised.

Ngl i'm warming up to the Aeonglass

>>739202791act 2 elites almost do that much damage. 32 turn 1 is not enough.
>>739204521You don't need a lot of block card, but a working engine that let you play block efficiently.-unupgraded True Grit sucks-Rupture needs upgrade - especially if you have Crimson Mantle to go along with it.-with Rupture, Blood wall is your preferred block card, and colossus ofc.-that 2nd inflame is a bad pick especially with the Mask. maybe it's forced on you by an event?

>>739205887im sorry anon i dont have the energy to go over your run. my advice for you is to watch some good players play Clad and just see what they do and understand why they do it. once you know the good cards combos etc it becomes much easier
>>739205180Sleight of Flesh is her easiest wincon.Second easiest is probably doom based with No Escape, this can win on its own or combined with SoF.If you get neither things get a bit complicated. But it's either Osty attacks, ethereal with Pull from Below or some kind of Eradicate deck.

>>739208929Hmmm. you buy the lighter before you can enchant your WW with sharp, right?I usually don't do that, but it might be worth to consider since getting at least one enchantment is quite likely.I almost flawless the queen but took gazillion damage from the aeonglasses. snecko is pretty wonky for me
>>739209345Got the soul fight event with it once, easiest 4 man multi ever
>>739210031Yes, I bought the lighter because honestly I could cruise through act 2 without any issue with how strong my deck was already (whirlwind was dealing 8x3 AoE on its own + any extra energy that I could get off of Bloodletting and I was already pretty fucking strong) but I did it completely speculatively BEFORE enchanting the whirlwind. I only did it because I could afford the risk. Hadn't seen the sharp event or the "give akabeko to a card" event before, and thought "if I can eventmaxx and shopmaxx to try and enchant this shit in any way, the game explodes".A few rooms later it happened and the run played itself.
>>739208691Stoke is very fun, but it actually get broken with the draw 1 on exaust power, since you generally start chain exhausting your whole hand every turn.

>>739210960I think he means the event that gives your attacks +50% damage at the cost of 2hp everytime you play it.But yeah the lighter can easily win you games if you have an enchanted multi hit attack.

This card is VERY good if you get it from Kaleidoscope. (maybe not on silent).Massive weak + Dark Orb that can be evoke for a shitload of damage next time you cast it because anyone but Defect only have 1 orb slot.and even in late game, 3 weak is valueble especially when you're Ironclad.Definitely would pick this again.
>>739214608Wait do orbs immediately invoke if you play an orb generating card on a non-defect character? I thought that there just was no effect. That changes everything.
Ok, 2 is a bit harder which is nice. It took 5 runs to get a win. However, the unlock system seems even dumber this time around. Maybe with Slay the Spire 3 they will finally get everything right.
Am I wrong or is card draw a lot stronger? (at least for ironclad, haven’t played any other characters yet) I wrecked the final boss with Vicious, hellrsaiser, unceasing artifact and a gambler’s brew.
>>739214907No, everyone has 1 orb slot, Defect has 3Your first orb generating card will channel the orb like Defect does. However, If you generate more orb, you'll invoke the first one then channel a new one.With Null, your first cast is normal but your second cast is an early game nuclear because you have cooked the orb for 1 cycle.

>>739197032Because elites in this game are badly designed. The worms and decimillipede are just 'did you take a bunch of AoE cards that are only useful in these fights?'
>>739217367the act 3 elites are the worst ones
>>7392171971/4
>>739217934Some of them are pretty bad, but I think that act 1 has the worst ones since you just automatically lose if you didn't take the exact right cards before them.
>>739218091yeah especially effigy and parasite phrog. i like all of the underdocks ones tho
>>739218354Parasite phrog is another 'oh you didn't take these niche AoE attack cards that are only sometimes useful and are otherwise just basically equivalent to a curse? you lose/take 50% of your hp or more and lose later' and Effigy is just 'you didn't draft big attack cards? You also lose.'

Why is vakuu so much more common than the other ancients? I'm tired of this nigger ruining my runs. I've gotten him nearly 10 times in a row
>>739224748post run history of him being your act 3 ancient 10x in a row
>>739224764Not that guy but I have 15/26 Vakuu
vakku relics aren't even that bad. retards shitters just can't properly weigh a curse. i think the only way he consistently is bad for you is if you only make 20 card high draw decks every run and even then just remove the curse unless you bought removes before act 3 for some reason already
>>739224957post run history of him being your act 3 ancient 15/26 times
>>739225009uh is there another way than just taking screenshots?
>>739225021can always webm but it doesn't really matter i believe you. also how many runs total? 15/26 is pretty high but it's possible you've encountered him a pretty average number of times overall. the other guy sounded like a fag but you sound more reasonable

I DID IT BROS. I had to reset the queen fight 4 times or so but Aeonglass was a breeze. Finally done with my first A10. Now onto other characters.

>>739228843that's fucking gay. The effect should wear off once the turn ends.
>>739229667indeed, I don't know if it's by design
>>739228843>>739229667>>739229687the game code has multiple definitions of "turn end", so I guess it depends on what's linked to that move. there might be one that overrides all others
>>739229687It’s by design, Stampede used to play bound cards before
>>739228843>>739229667>>739229687>>739229860stampede doesn't activate after your turn ends, it's "at the end of your turn". you also still get positive effects from playing attacks that get counted towards this turn
I hate stampede, every time I pick it it does nothing useful, outside that one time I had sneko and it served as safety net against “ooops all attacks 3 cost”
>>739232239To add to it.>can fuck you over in Milipede>can fuck you over against Beeguy>can fuck you over against Crab>can fuck you over Slumber party>can do absolutely nothing against queen>can play Pommel Strike you didn’t want to play and draw two cards that you wanted to play next turn>can do nothing by hitting block on enemy>fucks over diadem, watchI’m tired of so many Ironclad card that are secretly curses
>>739232412also cost 1/4 energy each turn against Aeonglass lol
>>739232412>inb4 someone says just don’t play it in those fightsHow about I won’t add it to my deck and don’t have to worry about that curse
I think they need to audit the randomness. What are the odds I get Synchronize as an option for all 3 of my first card rewards? I've never even seen that card before today.
>>739233141The same way how despite having driftwood and visiting two shops I haven’t seen single bloodletting a COMMON CARD in act 2 and 3.I genuinely believe there are secret card pools for each character and seed picks which card pools can appear in any reward. So it’s impossible to find some cards no matter how much you try because they are “banned” on that particular seed
>>739233364I believe this.
We didn't know how good we had it...
>>739233514Tell that to shockwave
>>739233546At least it's still in the game.

Wow removes are so much worse than transforms at the start, and then the cost is higher because it asks for actual HP.Do these retards even play their own game?
>>739238886not always Precarious Shears isn't just removing 2 cards, it is also saving you gold in the long runBecause eventually, with a normal deck, you will likely atleast remove one card. If not a Starter card, then a curseLosing Max HP has a different penaltyCome act 3, if your deck isn't up to the mark, you'll feel the bite of losing that much max HP. There's also no guarantee you'll get block cards in act 1, and Leafy Poultice demands a DefendAll that being said, I do agree that Leafy Poultice is an auto-pick like 9 times out of 10
>>739238886Considering they have not touched any of Silent's stackable double damage card, I'm going with no.
>>739239093In the long run, eventually, come act 3, you fucking died to the statue.

>>739238072Duo is so much harder than any other mode
>>739238153It proves that while some cards are more/less likely to show up in a given seed, there are no cards that CAN'T show up.
>>739236182not really. tanx's relics all have less powerful effects. just compare his energy relic to vakuu's. if you draw multiple powers in a turn, you are losing energy that turn, in a game that is pretty dominated by powers and needing to play them.
>>739238153uncommon drop rate seems to be weighted per seed
>>739240825>just compare his energy relic to vakuu'sconsidering how many times earings fucked me in the ass, no, Tanx's energy relic is much better

>>739240921i've never lost an earrings run. the only time its ever been scary is when i had exhaust functionality in the deck and he exhausted a card and he could exhaust an important damage card or power or something. even then its so unlikely and you can keep potions to mitigate it and if you have tons of exhaust in your deck then you just dont pick earrings.

>>739245150The post is referencing his post word for word, is it really that hard to connect the dots?
>>739245335Yes, because if you decided to go into an elite in act 1 after Precarious Shears without potions, then you're a grade 1 imbecile Why would you do that
>>739245473Why are you making up conditions that were never mentioned?
>>739245615I didn't make up the condition nigga, I did not bring up the statueForget Precarious Shears, in act 1 imo you should always try to have atleast a shop or a campfire before an EliteOr the path should have a branching path to avoid the elite in the worst case scenarioIn the event you take Precarious Shears, this becomes something you should follow if you don't want to die
>>739245886>In the event you take Precarious Shears, you need to adjust to not getting a bonusYeah that's the whole point.
>>739245998My point is those adjustments are just lenient when you are not taking ShearsYou should still be taking those things into consideration
>>739244262oh thank you but i think at that point its kinda hard to gauge if you lost because of the scissors

>>739247391Preserved Fog is objectively shittier than empty cage since it got nerfed.
>>739247050It is annoying. Vakuu is the only ancient in the game that regularly has nothing I want. I lost a Silent run last night because the least shit option was Lord's Parasol and even though I took a route with NO SHOP I got one in a ? room and it slowed down my deck enough to lose to the Test Subject.
>>739247219I understand the thematic reason. But it's shitty game design. His relics need to be more powerful to compete with the other ancients who lack downsides. How is objective dogshit like choices paradox even an ancient relic compared to crossbow
>>739247468It's really stupid that Lord's parasol can even be offered on maps with only 1 shop node. Filling your deck with random bullshit is only worth it when you get a shit load of relics out of it.
>>739247562I really like random bullshit so Lord's Parasol is fun for me, though I agree at A10 it has almost no use.
>>739247650I really like it too but usually it's not worth taking since most maps only have 1 shop path. I've won with it at a10 plenty of times but that's because I only took it when I get 9+ relics out of it.

How do you guys feel about the battlesworn dummy event? 90% of the time it's just 2 random upgrades for me. Trying to kill the 300 HP dummy seems impossible for the majority of decks even when I use a ton of pots and save scum. Do you guys often get the relic? Maybe I just build decks that ramp up too slowly but it feels like a boring event when 3 choices ends up always being the same choice.
>>739249562I'd rather have 2 random upgrades than some fucking juzu beads anyway
>>739249562out of like 150 or so runs, ive attempted the relic twice and only got it once
>>739249562Slow decks get one potion, average decks get two upgrades, broken decks get one relic.Not my favorite event honestly, I agree it's kind of boring.
>>739249615I like random relics. Feels like there is a much higher chance of random upgrades just hitting strike/defend than a random relic giving you trash.

>>739251141I thought for the longest time the art on this was a bird guy wearing a cloak and I just realized it's a wolf. Why doesn't it have any eyes?
>>739251350It's the Mawler in Overgrowth
>>739247852I feel much better now knowing that I thought I was bad but someone else is significantly worse than me.
>>739251392I was also one of the people who thought Cosmic Indifference had a cute brown girl on it. I thought Speedster was a bird for a while, too. I might be retarded.
>>739249562>your deck is slow>you get jewed on RNG two upgrades is the safest option for sure
>>739251350yea the art is badalso why is he howling but his mouth is closed. doesn't make any sense man
>>739251141Barricade too
>>739251664>secretlyBarricade is openly a curse
>>739250874I often pick a huge block card if I don't have 1st turn block, otherwise I like to pick something that massively buffs me or debuffs enemies
>>739251758lmao true
>>739196272Maybe it's more valuable for its ability to quickly reduce your deck size than for the intangible effect?
>>739185671Why in the fuck is Signal Boost a rare card?
>>739252134>Spend 3 mana to gain 4 bufferYeah wonder why
>>739252382Such a niche setup to make a card that's rarely picked a rare.
>>739252134Signal Boost is strongest of all three double cards lmao and you're complaining about it?
>>739252670Feels shit to me, so yeah. I rarely ever get it with a power in my hand, even with holo.
signal boost usefulness is propotional to how mant targets you have in your deck and whether you're holding a power pot or orobic acid
>Something special now happens if you have multiple Lantern Key cards (doesn't apply to multiplayer)has anyone encountered this yet? I've never thought to try and clone the key.
>>739252949you pick both choices
2 player a10 is actually impossible unless you get an infinite in act 1.
>>739253085Feels fine to me, just don't get paired with or be a retard.
>>739253085may I introduce you to : double Ironclad Vul spamming?
>>739252670Bullshit. Burst is by far more useful.
>>739248712gg my deck was ass to the wall terrible. I dont even know how i ended up with so many unupgraded cards
>>739248712GG, I fucking hate getting defect in multi. You're just support or doing nothing.
>>739248712GGHow the fuck did I get the medal for doing the most damage? I kept dying all the way through. I did like 1500 damage on Aeonglass but I didnt do anything remarkable otherwise. It was all really that necro with pull from below.
>>739253393never understimate bully in multi
>>739253267Silent has retarded cards. But overall Signal Boost should be stronger once they reign her in
>>739253393>How the fuck did I get the medal for doing the most damage?You're Ironclad
Why does silent still start with an extra strike and defend?
>>739253348that's why I never pick random. Got Defect twice in a row and hated every floor of it.
Hostin n Jostin a10 for the fun of the gameSadistic girls looking down on you editionsteam://joinlobby/2868840/109775241348945257/76561198047008744
>>739248712>>739253348That Shrymp/Imbued Energy Surge was kinda goated thoughI shrimp'd too... but all I could put it on was an upgraded Invoke>>739253393ngl I'm surprised I got neither max debuffer, nor max dmgMeans I was doing jack of all trades, master of none balanced stuff. Atleast I got the Restless badge though, so that means I think I was making the right calls in both cards taken and cards played during combatGG
>>739253721you did get most debuffs. i had nothing except a defy and a putrify. Game must count doom as debuffing
>>739253721>That Shrymp/Imbued Energy Surge was kinda goated thoughI got a second energy surge + too.I was being offered jack shit, status card powers but getting no status generating cards, I got a ton of thunders but never offered any lightning generating cards.Absolutely garbage rewards.
>>7392536923/4
>>739185671why would someone buy this when its identical to the first game.
>>739253692 get your ass in here last anon
>>739253969multiplayer, that's the only reason
>>739254029its 2026, nobody has friends anymore
>>739254176Are you me?
>>739200617BasedShe needs the regent treatment.
>>739254176Correction: people that play tranny games like Slay the Spire 1 and 2 have no friends.
>catastrophe and cascade are not S tie-ACK
>>739255991I like this guy. He is chill like Baalor. I don't really like any of the other youtube people.
>thought I got an unbrickable deck when I had dominate, glam molten fist and tremble halfway through act 1>bottom deck vuln cards vs queen, no damage>my block is shit cause frail>minion does 16x3 already>deadeit's so over for me
>>739253692ggs. I wish i didnt whiff hard on the ancient relics but we got there so it doesnt matter
>STS2 has 24/7 /v/ thread>Mewgenics has 24/7 /v/ threadhow come Hades 2 never got this treatment
>>739257379Queen is a bitch ass straight up.
>>739257905because its trash and thats coming from someone who is addicted to Greekussy
>>739253692gg. defect just killed everything. regent spam dying stars like it was dirt cheap, make things easier.me though, have double bola with ironclub which is kinda work, but nothing impressive. 6/10 not worth the money
>>739257905slay the spire is one of the most infinitely replayable games ever createdalso multiplayer
>>739253692GGNo clue how I ended up being dmg leader at the endI was pretty confident that I was carrying for act 1 with Gang Up, but then my deck did NOTHINGThis was the most frustrating run ever>no Burning Pact>no Vicious>no Dark Embrace>no Barricade>no Dominate>no Drum of Battle>no Cruelty>no Second Wind>no Stoke>no Game Piece>>literal only draw was a single Battle TranceMy block was not good either, all I had was one Feel no Pain and one COlossus. I'm pretty sure I'd have died 10 times over were it not for Regent with Dying Star spam
>>739258092gank up brokin. especially with the defect spamming a billion attacks
>>739258013>>739258092getting glimmer and cosmic indifference as card rewards back to back made it easy to setup for the multi hit turns
>>739257906Genunely the worst and hardest act 3 boss. The chinese were focusing on the wrong enemy
Do I pick storybook here? I've heard good things about it but I've never picked it. I'm concerned about the max HP loss. how is this supposed to be played?
>>739258386>Do I pick storybook here?Don't need to look at the deck. Yes.>You draw 3 cards and gain 3 energy when your hand is shit (or you're going to draw awful for the next turn and need to reshuffle).>You play the rest of your hand normally if you're good.You'll lose what, 20, 25 max HP at most, and you'll win the run for it. It's super retardedly broken.
>>739258386damn nigga your deck kinda ass lowkey gonna get mogged nigga. you aint stand no chance bitchass nigga
Why do people shit on Hellraiser?>Have upgraded pommel strikes, like any good Ironchad>Pick Hellraiser over "meta" options>Deck automatically draws through itself and sends all my basics into my discard pile.
>>739258386I looked at the deckI would say noStorybook has no star gain and almost all your cards require stars to playOf course this would change as you climb act 2, but even still... I'm not convincedYour deck is so barren that I would pray for a god tier highroll on Toy box
>>739214608Where do they put the 1 orb?
>>739258629If a character apart from Defect plays an orb card, they gain 1 orb slotOnce the singular orb slot is gained, you cannot gain more slots unless you get your hands on Modded or Capacitor
>>739258386I would pick Storybook here only if you think it would help in playing Sovereign Blade
>>739258530yeah my card rewards were shit. the astral pulse and glow both came from the store close to the end of act 1. I didnt take any damage at the boss though. My boss rewards were comet, heavenly drill and monarchs gaze. Comet was the only decent one but I dont have enough star generation so I didnt bother taking it.>>739258626>>739258530Damn I just picked it based on that other anons advice. Is this run just bricked?
>>739258386storybook is generally great on regent because he can cheat it back with cosmic indif
>>739258867Why the hell didnt you pick comet
>>739258562A fun thing you can do with Hellraiser is to also have Vicious and a lot of Vuln application cards>apply Vulnerable>draw into strike card that is auto-played
>>739258920im already struggling with star generation. Given then most hallway fights in act 2 are multi-enemies I need stars for astral pulse.
>>739185671you can think of bread in a autistic way as "at the start of every fight, gain +1 draw in the form of Pyre, and play it.its pretty good to pick up if you have some front load block like boot sequence, or if you deck is a too weak for long fights, but it can survive hallway fights.
>>739258867>is run brickedRun is bricked because you decided you don't want any rare card from boss reward, not because of Storybook/Brightest FlameThe options presented were less than stellar, but you still should have picked somethingI see Kunai there. When Heavenly Drill is played at 0 energy, it used to count for Kunai for StS1. I imagine that is the same for StS2And now you have Brightest Flame, which is THE best energy generator which would have been perfect for Drill
>>739258720I mean physically where they put it on their person, and the only logical answer to that is the prison pocket.
>>739258867>Not snapping up heavenly drill and forcing a build around as soon as you get it.BAKA
If you take too much damage and can't upgrade cards at rest sites the run is already overWhy is there no quick reset button like in binding of isaac?
>get time's up from neow>dont get offered any doom cards 5 combats in a rowT-thanks game.
what's the best Neow blessing? I gotta say the "first three card rewards are upgraded" one is pretty fucking strong.
>play Defect>hope and pray for Claw to show upI don't know how to do this shit
>>739259479if in the hand of good players, probably the 150g because it's safe and strong.
>>739259479Honestly I like all of them except Scroll BoxesThere's a circumstantial argument to be made for Greed/Cursed Pearl as the best if you luck into Discount Card at your first shop. Which is of course, seed dependentSilver Crucible/first 3 card rewards upgrade is pretty strong too, but I like Silen Tress/Glam on first card reward more
>>739259293>>739259238Go ahead. Laugh at my stupidity. Bee fucker put too many dazes into my pile. Got fucked on a turn where I only pulled dazes and he did 22 damage.
Damn, the game is trolling me hard>click 15 Silent cards on Regent searching for shiv cards for creation bonuses - 0-1 cards, nothing noteworthy>click 15 Necro cards for the same reason to create souls - just the worst one - Reave>click 15 Clad cards to get some exhausts on two occasions - barely anything - 0 exhaust cards today
>>739259970Hey sometimes Entomancer just trounces the deck and there is nothing to be doneBut that is not the case here, because (you) decided you did not want Comet, Monarch's Gaze or Heavenly DrillI think you win the fight here if you had any of the 3 btw>but Gaze is shitYeah it's bad, but it helps in this fight
>>739257379>>739257906if you don't get your powers up, you're screwed. If you do get your powers up, your big attack and big block get bound and you can only play one.
>>739259970If you picked drill, you could have had 64 more dazes in your draw pile
>>739258562it's situational. You need a lot of Pommel, and most likely Perfected Strike for it to have any real use. I was able to make it work because I had Cannon, Soup, and I think I had Strike Dummy. Otherwise, you would have extra energy and nothing to do with it. Make sure to have extra draw.
>>739259337Loser mindset
this is like the one guy I did not want to see with bing bongIs this the one time i take earrings or do I go for the talons and pray I dont get 4 x normality?
>>739259337That's not true. I won a run where I Smith'd only twice. I was Necro and kept getting beat down every elite fight. You do what you have to survive.
>>739259479I'll tell you the worst one: The Flying Shoes.
>>739185671AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>clone finesse>aeonglass into test subject, no compact no flak, just 2 copies of recycle>damage is a couple of dark orbs and a shatter
>>739260662dont you have lethal you incredibly bad goober
>>739260773yes, but those 2 first turns made me shart my pants
>>739260510I would take Talon here. Earring would really fuck up your relics.
someone bake new bread
The perfected strike deck.Hellraiser works surprisingly well with runic pyramid.You draw all your strike cards but they don't clog your hand while you keep dealing damage and your hand is literally always full.Still the best relic ever created.
>>739260894Eh, vaaku fucked me wcyd.Not as much as the game fucking me with all these attackbased relics in my FUCKING DOOM BUILDAnd with Bingbong, and with the guaranteed curse event, the game just did not want me to fucking succeed this run.
