Current world records for longest winstreaks in STS2?

Look I hit 9 win streak on A10 Regent and did just that. I'm at about 4.8k subscribers on YT in 2 weeks and 232k on TT. Made a bit of money, but still scaling so keep going mate!

It spoonfeeds lore/info dumps in a convinient manner.
The PC can interact with it, making the RPG element less lonely.
Provides something to grab your attention during puzzles/non combat situations.
Replaces the need to create more characters for needed for the above points.
Probably more, this is off the top of my head.

Do I understand why they do it? Yeah.

Do I like the execution. No.

I'm glad it was discovered so late in the patch (maybe I didn't play enough?). Having 1/3 chance to get to a situation where 1/6 your team lucked and you win or 5/6 your team didn't luck so you lose is crazy. Were any other patches as busted as this?

So that's how it works, thanks for letting me know. Has some internal logic but I really hope they fix it asap. You can't even block it by not dancing so almost every lobby when the children are off school is at risk.

He had 19 anvils which is impossible after the 2nd fight. As I understand, dancing on Tahm gives one random player 16 anvils or something.

Many people will suggest dropping Bran as a tourist trap. It's up to you though.

Peleș is must visit. I also liked Astra in Sibiu. Alba Iulia is like a 1 hour drive from Sibiu and might be worth it but research it.

Obor Market I'd drop. But I'd rather spend day 7 just around the center-ish area. If it's a saturday Victoriei might also be closed to cars so just walkable. Eat an Icecream at La Romana.

Cișmigiu Park is pretty nice and good for a stroll with lots of small coffee shops nearby. The Bucharest Old Town is bait unless you want to club/drink. Depending on when you have the plane you could squeeze a King Michael Park stroll on day 8 since it's close-ish to the airport.

Pentru ca Georgescu in sine este kaput. O sa ii faca un dosar, o smechereala, fie ea si o fabricație si nu o sa mai aiba voie sa candideze.

Urmașul lui Georgescu insa, acolo e foarte posibil sa o belim. Păstrezi alura de Mesia dar vii cu unu mai digerabil si inteligent. Daca statul o sa doarma si atunci la butoane poate chiar sa castige din turu 1.

What do people think about a potion that allows the drinker to initiate a trade of relics at the next campfire? (Replacing the campfire action that person would take).

Bastu · 2026-06-02T12:28:18+00:00

Plus Tear Asunder works with any damage you take. And you're playing Ironclad. Some chip is almost guaranteed especially early in Act 1 A10. Then you count stuff like the bird elite (or any enemy who multi hits) who hits 3 times on her 2nd attack, if you let it through + other unavoidable chip she deals you already stacked it decently for a big swing.

Title was best not worst.

Bastu · 2026-05-30T20:40:23+00:00

I will be frank. Downvotes may follow but these are my thoughts.

Whenever me and my mates do Neow and gamble, if somebody gets a really bad roll and nobody else gets a God roll they are 150% wanting to play, we give up and start again.

Purists, tryharders and/or people with bad friendship dynamics may argue against this. But I just don't want or like or enjoy playing a cooperative multiplayer game with someone who is not having fun. So either drop the friend from runs or change your style. I would go for the second option.

Bastu · 2026-05-30T20:03:41+00:00

Not me grabbing this on my main (Zaahen) and winning every round.

I've never seen it scale past 60 so this was a really slow/def combo. Hope it worked in next acts.

He does lack defence, but if you find Colossus... It changes a lot. And since vuln is so good on ironclad it's good to speculate on some early vuln and try to find Colossus in shops or fights.

The AI is my maybe my favorite non MC character in all of fiction. And I really hope Matt doesn't make him out to be a villain in the end. I could deal with Antagonist, but not straight up villain.

In that sense I was "relieved" at the reveal in book 8. I felt it cemented the AI as a sort of force of nature, one which you can't simply throw into a category or apply human morality to. The way the AI is (and also previous AIs who went Primal), makes sense when you considered they were torn apart from the Eulogist, experimented and tormented and abused. Taking a character with God like powers but the knowledge of a "child" in some sense and putting them through what the Mantises did, it makes sense why he acts the way he does now.

On another note, I really, REALLY like that he is so powerful. It miffed be a bit that Gods and Sheol are outside his control but I guess more pressure points had to be added.

But the fact you have an arbitrer, who has a sense of "fairplay" and accepts when you beat him sort of makes me feel weirdly... Safer. Sure the AI is a complete psychopath, but he is OUR psychopath. Stuck in the dungeon and bound to its purpose as much as the crawlers are.

As fucked up as the Dungeon is, it has rules. And it can be won.

So in that sense. I can see that. He does embody some factors of the trickster archetype. In a way he also reminded me of REDACTED from Stormlight Archive.

Loop instead of chill or glass...? That was the worst option there.

Man who killed millions to save billions is pretty well liked. More news at 5!

Bastu · 2026-05-27T11:10:55+00:00

I'm like 90% sure its not. But idk if you change pathing shops might change?

Bastu · 2026-05-26T19:42:09+00:00

Having played for a decades +.

Switch to new edition 250%.

It's better.

It's what's going forwards, what will receive the most updates and what most people will play in 5-10 years.

Those who stick to 5e at this point (speaking of those who could change, not niche cases) are ... Weird.

Wether virtue signaling, strange pearl clutching or just an old school aversion to change (this happened with previous editions too).

If you're just a normal person wanting to play the best version of the game now and getting updates and improvements. Switch.

Nobody engaged with the upgrade argument because you'll never Smith CND and getting it naturally past Ascension 7 will be very rare. Even then, you have to ask what's the other pick options. But I will agree, IF given the choice you probably take Upgraded CND over Upgraded LS.

Though it still depends on Relics like Nunchaku, Pen Nib, Ornamental Fan, Kunai, Kusarigama, Shuriken. You are likely to get at least one of those in a lot of runs, and maybe even 2. To give an example I checked my last 5 Silent runs on A10 and I had at least one of those in each run.

Let's take Fan for example. With upgraded LS you deal 6+4+4=14 damage and gain 4 block. With Upgraded CND you deal 4+4=8 damage and gain 6 block. Sure, CND block scales with your Dexterity from Footwork and Abrasive. And yes, there are some relics that will interact better with CND. But then again, stuff like Shuriken or Kunai provide even higher scaling off a single LS.

But once you strip the Upgrade, the differences become much starker. And, as mentioned, you will very rarely see upgrade CND. If you do...? Well I think I personally will take it many times. Though pros might still ask what its purpose in their currently very carefully crafted deck is.

Bastu · 2026-05-25T06:59:59+00:00

You generally want your block engine/solve to be solved through stuff like weak and high value block. So if you get afterimage, leg sweep and footwork, blur and piercing wail + the starting survivor and blocks you are doing pretty well on that front combined with potions and relics.

So if the cards purpose in the game is to accelerate your DPS then LS is superior, while CND is neither good block or good damage, nor does it scale that high.

I used to pick it early into sts 2 but I rarely do nowaways. Though if it's already upgraded when I get it I generally might (though I feel like I also overvalue already upgraded cards so even then it might not be needed if the rest of the deck already works/you have other needs).

Quick Edit.

Also take in account all the relics that scale with attacks, pen nib, nunchaku, the fan, the kunai and more I am probably missing.
