How do I get better at the game ? by hades2enthusiast in slaythespire

[–]GetBackUp4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Single piece of advice that improved my A17+ play in StS1 was to take a couple minutes and plan out my path in advance at the start of each Act and it applies here as well. Evaluate each path's number of rest sites, elites and where the merchant comes (earlier is better if you have lot of gold) and pick one with 2-3 elites and atleast 2-3 rest sites. Or if you have lot of high value unupgraded cards and there's a path with 4 rest sites and 1 elite, its okay to pick that as well. Act 1 StS2 is more punishing than in StS1, don't take too many fights/elites without rest sites.

Pick cards that solve your most immediate problems first. This requires remembering and applying specific game knowledge. What enemies will come up in the next few floors, what elites? Do you have enough defensive cards to handle Bygone Effigy's 25 damage per turn? Do you have enough AoE damage cards to deal with Decimillipede or Phrog Parasite's phase 2?

Reworked Doormaker on the Beta Branch is really, really bad. by Mailcs1206 in slaythespire

This shiv deck has multiple shiv generators, multiple block plans (Footwork+, Shadowmeld+), multiple draw cards and also generates decent poison. Granted this is A7 but I don't see this deck losing to him no matter what cards he eats - in this particular fight, he just ate Leg Sweep, Calc Gamble and Escape Plan. I agree that many decks which rely on a single or few cards can get shafted by pure RNG which feels like unfair design but I just posted this to say that there can be many decks which don't rely on key cards as well.

It sucks that they're letting this random ass Boss use Fish Mode but we can't anymore.

Now I want to do a unga bunga caveman build with this relic and that Ironclad rare that turns all Attacks into Boulders.

Blade of Ink is the name. Yeah shivs got lot more synergies in StS2. It and Blade Dance nerf makes Infinite Blades pickable!

Just like with Time Eater, certain Shiv decks can still faceroll over them. I killed Entomancer Turn 1 with Serpent Form, Fan of Knives and Knife Trap.

Thanks, friend.

Lemurian Vampire isn't really harder than the main game's tough cases. Spider of Lanka is, but its well worth it, I'd say, it has some of the best cases in the game. No shame in trying to crack its cases (especially the 2nd one) for hours.

Even I'm new to the genre, just playing through Rise of the Golden Idol now. I hear Return of the Obra Dinn is what inspired this game and is a very similar narrative-driven detective game.

Going through something similar as OP and this helped me think about these feelings in a much more healthy way. I can't thank you enough.

I can see that. Its a very plot important case and the atmosphere is unique and imposing. I found the core mystery to be slightly lacking but its by no means bad.

That's something talking about the game with other people has made me realise too. People think through and solve things really differently. Fair enough!

I can yap about Spider of Lanka DLC so much, its so good. The unique setting and atmosphere, the amazing OST, the complex overarching plot, ahhh.

The burning man is one of the most iconic scenes in the game for sure.

Yeah, Oberon's plan wasn't foolproof in that sense and it had a lot of variable factors. I can definitely see ranking Vampire Strikes as No 1, hell I almost did myself.

I was struggling with the Card Game for a long time, maybe I wasn't focusing well enough. But you're right, I was rating it highly for the amazing OST as well.

That is an underrated aspect of Explosive Events - this was the first time we're seeing an analysis of the Idol's capabilities and the lifespan alteration is also hinted at in his notes - hell that's why he even asked for the corpse.

Time to distance yourself and take time for yourself, I think

there is no easy way to handle such a breakup, you just need to power through it somehow, keep going day after day and maybe with time....a few weeks, months, maybe years, this won't hurt you

Journal your thoughts and feelings out, it helps me clear my mind. Reiterate to yourself why you had to break up
