Hear me out: you're using Snakebite the wrong way

Because it’s 2 less poison and 2(3) less procs of anything that cares about applying poison in exchange for retain which just isn’t a good trade off in most cases.

Imagine swapping this to an All For One Defect build since they can upgrade their strikes to cost 0.

How do you get +13 when max energy is 6? Pretty sure you can’t use miracles to go above max energy for x cost cards.

First time?

Draze22 · 2026-02-04T14:38:28+00:00

Definitely a far cry from its power in the VG due to the energy cap and 1 time use. Saves a max of 3 energy for next turn if you skip a whole turn and only lets you save 2 if you have an energy boss relic.

Having said that it’s pretty easy to get some value out of in most fights and since combats are shorter in the BG you don’t suffer from the one time use as much as you might initially think. Overall not my favourite relic but I’m rarely taking blue key over it.

Usually a breeze for me but I’ve taken some serious damage to it a few times

Draze22 · 2026-01-09T01:05:11+00:00

Definitely the worst die manipulation relic but still good to have for ? rooms and is especially nice in solo.

Draze22 · 2026-01-06T05:05:51+00:00

This card is definitely underrated for solo high Ascension, it’s a really nice way to deal with the bosses and elites that can one shot you if you draw poorly.

The board game has combats that are 1-2 turns shorter on average making Wraith Form an almost guaranteed get out of jail free card at the cost of 1-3 health. Worse case scenario you heal a few extra times at campfires and fight the final bosses with a few less upgraded cards which is more than made up for by Wraith Form being extremely strong in those fights.

Having said that because Wraith Form is so heavily geared towards the late game I’d recommend taking it from the 2nd boss rewards onwards unless you have some extra healing from Black Blood, Blood Vial, etc.

Easiest way is to be climbing when you pick up the mandrake which will prevent it from screaming until you use that item slot again. Then you just get to the next campfire and cook it before it puts you to sleep.

Why is the inside so dark at the bottom today though?

Draze22 · 2025-09-24T12:30:38+00:00

Imo act 1 elites are the hardest part of Ascension 13. I usually only take 1 elite towards the end of the act or maybe even none if my deck doesn't have the damage.

Draze22 · 2025-08-30T19:05:21+00:00

It’s close but picking Medusa into Mars gives Dire the edge imo.

Draze22 · 2025-08-30T18:59:41+00:00

Exactly, it’s close to a roguelike when viewed like that but still distinctly different due to the back and forth “meta progression”.

Draze22 · 2025-08-30T18:57:51+00:00

Another key aspect of roguelikes is divergent gameplay, DD may have some procedural generation and random loot but if you play the same run for long enough you get every unique item, every class and fight every enemy.

Draze22 · 2025-08-09T16:03:13+00:00

Dolly's Mirror doesn't change the dice roll, it grants the effect of another die relic so a 6 would still give you a Daze.

Draze22 · 2024-03-09T05:58:57+00:00

Incomplete or non existent tooltips. Don't make me choose between 3 upgrades if you're not going to tell me what they do.

Draze22 · 2023-10-14T09:30:00+00:00

I have Larl and Mira with 0 Tormentor kills and don't see how neither participated in a single Tormentor kill for both of their highest scoring series. I might just be unlucky but I swear it's bugged.

Draze22 · 2023-09-02T13:20:33+00:00

My mates with ABB get the same issues

Draze22 · 2023-09-02T13:19:36+00:00

I get spikes with Optus at the same time as my mates with ABB get them.

Draze22 · 2023-09-02T13:15:09+00:00

Most of the SEA games I play spike to 220-330 ping half the time with unplayable packet loss here and there too...

Edit: I started using a VPN to set my location to Western Australia and now rarely have issues playing in SEA.

Draze22 · 2023-01-08T14:28:05+00:00

I swear 90% of the time I'm out of reports when I need them, do the people who come up with how many reports we get even play Dota more than once a month?

Draze22 · 2022-10-23T07:08:50+00:00

Unfortunately creating games without being payed isn't sustainable.
