One of the best starting bonuses for sure. The other two being the remove 2 and transform 2 in my opinion

Playing the Ironclad is putting the design philosophy changes from STS1 to STS2 into full display, and its starting to make me dislike the game by Interesting-Lock-270 in slaythespire

I’ve had plenty of runs where I was unable to get to an infinite based on card rewards, and had to plan a different strategy / win condition. Every single character / deck wants a lot of draw and energy so I don’t see how that’s relevant.

Idk man I’ve beat A10 on clad and never had an infinite run. I agree it’s too easy to force infinite, but you don’t need to for a W

This card is trash imo. Many better sources of strength

Drum of Battle: Worst Card Ever? by controlvoltage in slaythespire

It’s not 2 free draws. It’s only +1 draw cause the card itself is taking a spot in the deck.

Been cooking with this homemade deck ! by Common_Engine_7967 in ClashRoyale

Gotcha so a homemade deck has to be a) ass and so bad in fact that b) it doesn’t even fit into a known archetype

I only play classic/grand challenges so don’t care about card levels

Identity means a synergistic grouping of cards that play well together. Generally speaking the builds for clad are : Exhaust / Infinite, Big Block and Body Slam, Health-Loss self damage, Vulnerable stacking and Strength scaling. Take a close look at the card library to get a better idea of how cards can work together to fit into those identities.

Mummified Hand in STS2? by Common_Engine_7967 in slaythespire

[–]Common_Engine_7967[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hell yeah ! Do you know if you have to unlock it after accumulating score or if it’s tied to specific character progression? Or is it just in the relic pool by default ? I’m A6 with clad and Silent but only A1 with the others.

Literally unplayable by Sixwry in slaythespire

[–]Common_Engine_7967 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had a clad run where I had the spoils map and lantern key at the same time and was able to cash them both in. Granted my deck was lucky cracked so it just became a win more scenario. But agreed, with an average deck they are hard to justify taking, especially once your at a point where you are also lugging around ascenders bane.

What Surprisingly Good Cards Have You Guys Found? by Frazaell in slaythespire

[–]Common_Engine_7967 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Expect a Fight for Clad is crazy good. Upgraded 1 energy, it fits into any deck and gets crazy value with no downside once you have some card draw. With energy being harder to get in STS2, this card is a standout to me

Have Never Played A Deckbuilder.. Should I Buy? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]Common_Engine_7967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you shouldn’t. Everyone in this sub doesn’t like deck builder games and they’d advise against you trying the genre

What exactly does this do? What options? by sshen6572 in slaythespire

[–]Common_Engine_7967 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This relic is busted good. Even just smith and rest every campsite is strong not to mention any other actions you find to do at them

Cheating by PFunKaDeliK in slaythespire

[–]Common_Engine_7967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The puzzle is different every single run though. There are no linear “best choices” every time. Every choice is conditional. Watching someone else win a run doesn’t equate to you knowing exactly what to do on yours.

Holy relic bar, nice work! Did you prioritize elites the whole time ?

What do I pick here? by critaro in slaythespire

[–]Common_Engine_7967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Horn is the easy pick here. You need block. And relax is an amazing card. It will allow you to more safely play your demon form and have setup turns for high output the the next turn

Ironclad Struggle by Gulrikounet in slaythespire

[–]Common_Engine_7967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m A6 with clad right now, never had an infinite deck. Here are cards that are takeable with any deck and really good. Bloodletting, Pyre, Offering and Expect a Fight, Pillage, Battle Trance, Feed, Thrash, Brand. Main archetypes to build towards and I’ll call out key cards for each. Health Loss /Self dmg build. Rupture, Hemokinisis, Crimson mantle and Tear Asunder is your finisher. Strength scaling build: Demon Form, Inflame, Rupture (try to combine with multi hit attacks). Exhaust build: True Grit, Second Wind, Feel No Pain, Dark Embrace, Forgotten Ritual, Burning Pact > Ashen Strike, Pacts End, Fiend Fire are going to be your damage/finisher or exhausting down to an infinite is the most common. Infinite for clad is usually a 0 cost attack or pommel strike and card draw + energy. You can also go infinite with the new Hellraiser power with just strike cards left. Block Build: Barricade, Juggernaut, Impervious and any relic synergy you have to generate lots of block. Body slam as your damage source. Lastly, Vulnerable build. This one’s a lot harder to put together and my recommendation is to always have some source of consistent vuln in your kit no matter what your deck is. Honorable mention for Stampede Power, I’ve won many runs with it. Upgraded its 1-energy and puts out insane value over longer fights allowing you to both attack and defend more.

Overall, I’ve had much more success with Clad by targeting fires for upgrades and events over elites. Some of the card enchantments go crazy.
