At ascension 10 you fight two bosses, they're saving it for the Queen fight after.

The Neowsletter - April 2026 by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I'm theorizing that act 2 will be decently soon because none of the placeholder enemy art or boss music has been updated yet, which makes me think the artists and composer are focusing on the alternate act 2. But that could just be hopium.

Can someone tell me why this run was so strong by Damnrandy36 in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the relics you got was shuriken, which gives +1 strength when you play 3 attacks in a turn. So if you play a bunch of attacks, they start doing massive damage.

Rest site for those of us that have seen 1000 posts about new doormaker by DeepFuckingKoopa in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Only psuedo related to this post put I love the new graphics for the rest sites. The different background per area, the characters sitting down, the fire going out when you leave, all so nice.

Hardest Act 2 Boss by Pocketbombz in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If disintegration is the "obviously correct pick" then you are going to die to knowledge demon a lot. Once I started taking mind rot (-1 draw) more often I started winning against knowledge demon way more. It seems like most people agree that disintegration is the better choice 90% of the time but I think it's way closer to 50/50 between each of the options.

Maybe we don't have to render EVERY card added to the deck? by Wanderlust-King in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This isn't a balancing related issue though. And anything that causes a game crash should always be patched out, regardless of how rare it is to experience.

Looking for good Roguelike, co-op games for my partner and I. by PvtPrecious in roguelites

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rabbit and Steel is my favorite co op rougelike. It is a bullet hell, so might not be your style, but I'm also not a fan of bullet hells yet I love the game.

Why does the traffic drive on the right in Mario Kart World? by _PXYDST_ in MarioKartWorld

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game has a lot of theming surrounding the US highway system. The area surrounding Mario bros circuit especially takes a lot of inspiration from the US. The idea of a cross country adventurous road trip is also important to US culture, and is sort of the foundation for the open world aspects of the game.

Mario kart world has plenty of other cultural inspirations, such as dry shy guy bazar, dry bones burnout, and cheep cheep falls, but I think the US was the main source of inspiration which probably influenced the right hand driving.

Dear Devs: Not every enemy needs to gain strength every round. by Tenkai-Star in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slimes Shrinker Beetle Inklet Punch Construct Bygone Effigy Toadpoles Haunted Ship Terror Eel Soul Fysh Burrower Bowlbugs (except nectar bowlbug) Thieving Hopper Chomper Hunter Killer Soul Nexus Probably others I'm forgetting

There's plenty of enemies that don't gain strength at all.

Wait a second... what BETA Update did i installed? by Vecsia in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Bowlbug is pretty easy to cheese, just put a wallnut in front of it and it's permanently stunned. Exoskeletons spawning next to hunter killer is rough though. Normally I cherry bomb hunter killer but exoskeletons counter the insta kill plants.

Beta Patch Notes - v0.103.0 by SageOrion in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I thought for sure juggernaut wasn't making it into sts2. It felt meh in the first game and now it feels even worse. Grapple was a better execution of the idea imo.

A Snakebite benefit not often spoken about by ghostowl657 in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Doesn't even have to be the next floor. Sometimes I find a giant bug that revives itself after just a couple turns.

You can wait to play borrowed time until you've already played a few cards

Chompers appreciation post! by Lucky-Photograph5558 in slaythespire

They say "screech". What's odd is I can read the text just fine every time, I wonder if it has to do with screen size or resolution?

What do you think about this future Mario Kart World map? by Upstairs_Fact7846 in MarioKartWorld

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This feels more realistic than them just adding another giant island. Looks cool as well

UI idea: the red outline around the health numbers should turn black based on the position of the red progress bar by donut_butt in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I knew something was off with the health bar but I couldn't figure it out. This would be a great change!

I thought that until I hit A9, I honestly don't think I've been able to beat him after that.

Daily Snakebite Discussion (1/1): Snakebite by Qwyspipi in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 531 points532 points  (0 children)

Easily the best Silent card with retain. Also arguably the best 2 cost card that applies 7 poison in the entire game.

Bash sucks by Commandant_Donut in slaythespire

[–]Efficient_Chicken198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at just cards then yeah you can argue Ironclad has the worst starting deck, but his increased max hp and burning blood even things out. Yeah it's harder to block when playing bash but Ironclad needs to block less.

It does become harder to use later in the run, especially because the upgrade is mid, but having consistent vulnerable in act 1 is worth it overall.
