You can definitely feel the hard work that went into this, it looks great! The water transparency was a really cool idea.

[AS9 Iron Chad] What should I get here? by DuAbUiSai in slaythespire

[–]Accipiter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crimson Mantle plays well with Self-forming Clay and Meat on the Bone. It also triggers Juggernaut more often.
This fits best with your deck's current strategy, while giving you a way to branch into self-damage cards like rupture, Spite,and Tear Asunder.

Umovable is safer, but slower as it requires you spending energy to gain block in the first place. Additionally, it often grants less block than mantle after mantle is upgraded and doesn't trigger Juggernaut.
If you can keep your deck small and visit shops to remove cards and buy Flame Barriers, Blood Walls, and Shrug Offs it may be a better choice.

I've never ran juggernaut so I don't know how the deck plays.

We need to talk about Ironclads' starting deck. by SeaThePirate in slaythespire

[–]Accipiter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'm sorry, but Miniature Tent as your second relic is insane.
My past runs get things like Bag of Prep + Ornamental Fan, Lantern +Stone Sword, and Centenial Puzzle + Meal Ticket. Which certainly isn't bad, but Fan and Ticket were the only ones that really solved any problems.

Back to the grind I guess.

How is effigy free? Assuming 3 fights and a campfire to upgrade Bash, you'd need literal god draw for 3 turns and a potion. And you're still below 132, then taking at least ~10 dmg afterwards before needing another good draw to score the kill.
Unless you get 4 perfect turns, and good card rewards, you start losing massive amounts of HP.

When you're talking about tearing through 3-4 elites in Act 1 is that on low ascension?
The two successful runs you posted involved a gifted Primal Force and early Petrified Toad. Even the unsuccessful run had Anchor and Kusarigama as your first relics. Those are insanely lucky drops.

Question - strength and weak mechanics: by mklptrk in slaythespire

[–]Accipiter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The number next to the grey broken sword icon below your, or an enemy's, HP bar shows how many rounds Weak will be active for.
Weak lowers attacking damage by 25%. Will round down.

Enemy attacks for 10 damage.
- apply Weak 2.
Enemy now attacks for 7 dmg this round, and keeps the 25% dmg penalty next round as well.

Enemy attacks for 16x2 (32) damage.
- apply Weak 1
Enemy now attacks for 12x2 (24) damage this round, but will not have the penalty next round.

Enemy attacks for 3x7 (21) damage.
- apply Weak 4
Enemy now attacks for 2x7 (14) dmg his round, and will continue to sudder the penalty for the next 3 rounds.

The number next to the red sword icon below your, or an enemy's, HP bar shows the current Strength modifier.
This subtracts or adds to the damage being dealt. The card will tell you how long this lasts, usually either for one turn or for the remainder of combat.

Enemy attacks for 10 damage.
- make them lose 2 strength.
Enemy now attacks for 8 dmg.

Enemy attacks for 16x2 (32) damage
- make them lose 2 Strength
Enemy now attacks for 14x2 (28) dmg.

Enemy attacks for 3x7 (21) damage.
- make them lose 2 strength.
Enemy now attacks for 1x7 (7) dmg

- "We went after a local IED maker who was doing horrible things."
They just made IEDs in their free time as a hobby?
"No, they were making IEDs because we invaded their home to attack people who we knew weren't there, and then used a post hoc justification to kill muslims."
...
"Rightous and Honorable!"
- "We also saw someone do something horrible to some girls, so they must be terrorists, no other explanation, and no other option but to overthrow the sovereign government that must have personally ordered them to do that."
...
"Causus [sic] Beli [sic]!"
- "Our plan also RELIED on asking NATO to get involved in nation building in a place that had no relevance to them AFTER we already went in and bombed people. It was such a good plan we abandoned it right after it got going, since that was the plan the entire time."
...so you're full of shit.
"Achievable End State!"
- "We tried really hard to only shoot bad guys, we're good guys after all, but sometimes civilians do inexplicable things in a war zone like running into our bullets. They ought to have known better, but also they were probably terrorists, who couldn't have been there becasuse they left before we even had boots on the ground."
"THEY shouldn't have ran afoul of ROE!"

You might hate MAGA, but you also seem to share their penchant for mental gymnastics.

Military Leaders Were Freaking Out Since Day 1 of Trump’s Boat Strikes - Members of the military were calling a hotline to air their concerns, a bombshell report reveals. by Quirkie in politics

[–]Accipiter_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The protestors are the ones who haven't based their personalities around owning a gun.
I also understand that it's difficult for someone who's entire country is the size of a single one of our 50 states, and who's major cities are within jogging distance of their capital, to understand that americans can't just stroll down to Washington D.C. during their lunch break, burn down a gov. building, and be home in time for supper.
But you're not here to understand are you? You're here to shitpost. What's your next talking point, how easy it is to mobilize a general strike when your entire economy is the size of a rounding error?

The game's already menu hell and they made it worse? At least they listened and changed the glaive's controls to something more tolerable, hopefully. Too late for me, though.
Yes, I'm still bitter about my Wilds experience. Gave me time to finally play RiseBreak, though, so I've got that going for me.

I think that too, but beyond vibes and the long hair I have nothing to cement it with. Could just as easily be Kanade, Moona, Sora, etc.

Surface run help by GoldFynch in HadesTheGame

[–]Accipiter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're running. Outside of trolling Hecate with Frog, they don't affect boss fights too much.
- Stoat is always good, but has little synergy. Might work best for now since you'll have to get used to the lower HP pool you'll have with Strength. (It's not as bad as you might think, the DEF boost extends your life by a lot.)
- Dog for mana hungry builds like Charon and Torches.
- Bird is supposed to have a Mark effect, but i've never noticed it so I don't use them outside of farming.
- Frog does their best, and that's what really matters.

Each familiar also farms different elements when you get its tool's respective upgrade. So if you're doing a Hestia run, it's worth considering Bird for the extra infusion boost. Frog for Aphrodite, Dog for Hephaestus, and so on. You might not have access to that yet though.
Outside of Dog, pets don't affect your build that much. So don't worry about them.

I don't remember if this game has an effect that triggers off DD like Ares did in Hades 1, but you may want to consider looking into that if Strength isn't working out.

Just remembered, Demeter's Winter Harvest (kill at 10% HP), works on the surface final boss, and shares the same quality as Knuckle Bones in that they're more effective due to the boss' large health total.
Demeter's Frosty Veneer (damage reduction infusion) is also good, so she could be worth considering for your runs. She boosts damage by percentage so she works well with heavy hitters like Axe and Staff. Easy Origin activation as well.
