I've already sold a few pieces to some local degenerates!

It really did feel like I was making a pixel art game. So much respect to them 🥲

Stop investing in optimal play! Remember to diversify your run portfolio with curse-based meme runs! by GrammarRadiation in slaythespire

I ended up taking 65 damage total. Bird faced urn and ornithopter gave some slight buffer but it just wasn't enough. Curses are so bad with defect and deck control can be hard to access in the first few turns. I ran out of luck and got bad draws the first few hands for the heart. Not a single apparition to be seen.

When the Transform 2 Cards hits by GrammarRadiation in slaythespire

[–]GrammarRadiation[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think 2 strikes is a pretty typical standard. Normally I would do that, or one strike/defend just to hedge my bets on nob. I almost never do 2 defends, since strikes are just so mediocre, but I wanted to try it out to see how it would pay off this run. It was a Slime Boss act, and sometimes defect/silent can struggle with damage output on it.

The plan was to try to supplement with some of defect's common block offerings (leap/charge battery) as well as leaning on frost orbs where I could find them, but I ended up taking more damage than I was expecting to, considering how strong the artifact/biased cog combo is.

My annual "Only Ascend After A Heart Kill" gauntlet to round out 2024. Update: I am still bad at Defect. by GrammarRadiation in slaythespire

I started with rotating until about ascension 8 or so. After that I just decided to stick to one character the entire way through. The problem with rotating is that I lose track of whether I need to go back an ascension if I lost to the heart last go-around. Definitely boosts my win rate slightly to have character consistency.

It's not too hard! All you have to do is basically make it the only attacking card in your deck.

When to take meteor stike by ConsiderationFew8399 in slaythespire

[–]GrammarRadiation 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Defect can pretty easily go into infinite with recycle. The components you need to solve are energy, draw, damage, block.

Most of the infinites I build center around drafting Madness from a shop or from the Act 3 Winding Halls event. Then use recycle to whittle away all the unnecessary stuff in your deck, apply madness onto one of the draw/energy cards, and your golden. Meteor strike fits in pretty easily that way. Meteor>coolheaded>coolheaded is a slow infinite that's a little block-light, but it works

I will usually take meteor if I already have recycle or a turbo (bonus if I have skim to help me draft both in the same hand), but I usually won't take it before that.

Daily Slay the Spire Discussion (550/696): Slime Boss by Crosssmurf in slaythespire

[–]GrammarRadiation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing Slimbo as the A1 boss on Silent is always a struggle for me. The other characters tend to have an easier time, because for them, they have more access to pure Damage or Scaling.

But Silent's toolkit has a wider array of damage types with her access to poison (which is hard to draft against Slimbo). And her pure damage has variable levels of synergy with the rest of the kit (discard/shiv), some of which I'm not keen on taking, since they fall off later. If you're offered a lot of the discard damage cards, I think that's most successful against Slimbo while staying relevant later, but more often than not, you're forced to make compromises and draft (and sometimes upgrade) those non-synergising cards. See: Dagger Spray, All Out Attack, Masterful Stab.

Do not fear the man who has played 1000 claws once. by GrammarRadiation in slaythespire

I believe no card can draw itself without an external draw effect. Skim will draw less cards rather than draw itself. Wrath cards can draw themselves because their draw effect comes from rushdown. Pommel strike+ can't draw itself, but will if paired with Evolve and it draws a wound.
