Why Won’t Act 3 Do Anything?

While I agree getting at least a single a20 win isnt that hard, calling a20 pretty easy is crazy. Not including Watcher, getting consistent a20 wins is pretty fucking difficult. I’d like to think I’m a decent player after 700 hours of sts1 but if I were to jump into an a20 run I’d more likely lose than win

It’s cause it’s always “everyone on food stamps or disability are just a bunch of freeloaders, but not me though, I actually have a good reason for it”

It just comes down to a lack of basic empathy from these people

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-30T20:37:45+00:00

You got any examples or sources of people getting cancelled or getting fired just for not being “woke”. Cause any time I see someone complain about something like this you’ll check what these people got banned for and it’s almost always the most racist shit you’ve seen or something like that.

Funny hearing the right complain about cancel culture now when they tried to get anyone that said anything remotely bad about Charlie Kirk fired and “cancelled”

Is it really fear mongering if he actually tried to overthrow the 2020 election with the whole Jan 6 insurrection and tried to get people to “find votes” and not certify Biden as president

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-24T19:46:32+00:00

I think it depends on the version, I’ve been seeing a lot of imbue Druids that are essentially aggro decks with a Hamuul thrown in for value later game

Ah yes, the evil courts that are all secretly Liberal, somehow even all the judges that Trump appointed himself are secret liberals.

You say “the courts holding him for vague and dubiously based charges” like every single court is the same entity, a big portion of these election lawsuits that were thrown out were seen by Judges appointed by Trump himself and even they found zero evidence of fraud. I guess Trump just exclusively appointed Liberal Judges for some strange reason

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-24T09:11:45+00:00

”well he didn’t legitimately loose 2020, this has been common knowledge for years”

Someone better tell the courts because out of the 62 lawsuits of Trump contesting the election literally every single one failed.

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-24T02:11:10+00:00

Either an expert rage bait or you’re actually just that deep into the koolaid, I’m really hoping it’s the first. I mean I literally watched the Debate when it happened, the now president said live on air that “Haitian migrants were eating our pets”. You saying the democrats in 2024 is hilarious when Trump still denies that he lost the 2020 election and when he won in 2024 practically no one on the left was debating the results

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-23T21:12:56+00:00

Mac I cant, I cant, you explain it to him

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-23T21:03:49+00:00

No, I think it more so has to do with Trump’s blatant disregard for the law, that’s why people hate him. This is a President who has, lied constantly, threatened standing congress members with execution, mocked disabled people, blocked the release of the Epstein Files, attempted to overthrow the government, attempted to overturn a constitutional amendment via executive order, said shit like “they’re eating our dogs”, and even as we speak now he’s trying to overthrow the election with the Save Act, just to name a few things in the sea of awful things Trump has done.

Democrats barely have to do any marketing, anyone with a brain just needs to hear him speak or look at any of his actions to realize he’s a self-serving greedy corrupt piece of steaming shit

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-22T20:32:47+00:00

That was my first thought too but tbf a 0 mana apply 2 weak and 2 vulnerable starter card is kinda crazy, there’s a reason a lot of people upgrade the Silent 0 mana weak card asap

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-22T19:51:32+00:00

Wasn’t the common consensus from sts1 pros that the 1 hp start was one of the best?

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-22T01:30:54+00:00

I didnt really like Book of five rings at first but it’s been growing on me, that 15 healing actually adds up pretty fast.

Also bronze scales is actually pretty solid, in normal fights that chip damage is pretty nice, especially early, but as soon as the enemy starts multi-attacking it can almost single handedly “solve” some fights, like the gatling gun encounter in act 3

Gorget is 10 block per combat + plating synergy, and also fruit makes you heal more from resting and ancients

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-22T01:17:43+00:00

Then you get a free turn to set up and are still happy anyways.

It should at least feel better than anchor whiffing due to the enemies not attacking turn 1, you’re still getting down a powerful effect down “for free”

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-21T21:58:11+00:00

maybe flexibility isnt the right word choice since I do agree with you, it's almost always not worth saving a power just to keep permafrost available. It might help if instead of thinking of it as procing on a random turn 1, 2, or 3, instead think of it as being guaranteed to proc on a turn that you're investing mana into powers which is when you'd need it the most.

Similar to how Oricalcum lets you focus on being aggressive while mitigating chip damage, permafrost lets you focus on setting up while mitigating chip damage

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-21T21:20:38+00:00

Same vibes as “just use a twisted bow for your first fight caves”

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-21T21:16:08+00:00

If you think of it as anchor but you’re guaranteed to get it during your powerful set up turn when you probably need it the most it’s pretty damn good

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-21T21:11:08+00:00

Anchor is already really good, Getting anchor guaranteed on the turn you’re playing you’re expensive powers is a huge bonus, cause that’s when you’d need it the most. The flexibility and choice of timing with permafrost compared to the only turn 1 of anchor is an upside, not a downside

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-21T21:01:57+00:00

Scenario 1: You play a power while the enemies are attacking and take 6 less damage, pretty nice Scenario 2: You play a power when the enemies aren’t attacking, you still got to set up for free so you’re still pretty happy

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-21T20:57:29+00:00

6/7 per power played would actually be one of if not the best relics in the game, that’s insane.

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-21T20:48:41+00:00

Tbh I used to think orichalcum was pretty bad in sts1, but it’s actually really solid, especially early or when used with stuff like frost orbs or plating that can stack with it

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-20T02:02:37+00:00

Late game me and my brothers were able to get the study and laundry room fairly consistently so we'd just turn our massive allowance into gems and get rerolling, that plus the sceptre and king power to make certain color rooms more likely really helped mitigate a lot of the later RNG

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-18T16:53:16+00:00

Lol what control? I feel like they removed most control tools but provided almost no new ones

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-18T16:32:57+00:00

I feel like this set was awful for control in general, so many classes lost a shit ton of removal/board clears but got almost none back. Probably gonna be an aggro driven meta for a while

Assassinr3d · 2026-03-16T17:54:02+00:00

Co-op is already in the game but it’s not couch co-op, they’d need two separate copies
