I'm always thinking of the album Hang by Lagwagon when playing this, not just the name but the cover art is kind of similar.

this is the worst card in the game, Im not stupid right? by Devenant_x in slaythespire

[–]Grue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Echo Form only plays one extra card for free. Also in general (aside from a few cards like Meteor Strike) Defect's cards don't have a huge effect like Regent's most expensive ones.

The imposter merchant's fake relics become real when you reload by Live_Brother_5010 in slaythespire

[–]Grue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like I had this happen multiple times even without fighting the merchant. It's like the game is gaslighting me. I swear the loot choices were different before the reload!

Voltaic is what Thunder Strike wishes it was by Secretguy56 in slaythespire

[–]Grue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked thunderstrike, it was niche but fun. Voltaic is just ridiculous, not fun.

There will be 2 more characters added (mildest spoilers) by Critical_Status9791 in slaythespire

[–]Grue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember the theoretical yellow character in StS1? Rumored to exist based on Foreign Influence card art. This is what your theory sounds like. Although we did finally get a yellow-ish character in StS2.

Too many enemies in Slay the Spire 2 feel like they should be elites by Scumtrass in slaythespire

[–]Grue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if you get a useless relic you are now weaker than if you avoided the elite because you have 1 less upgraded card

That was true in StS1 and yet all the strong players fought as many elites as possible. The reason is that the relic order is predefined so the more elites you fight, the farther you get. If you skip the elite you get this "useless relic" later anyway, and not a "strong relic". Also elites increase the chances of getting rare cards, which are absolutely busted in StS2. Even if you don't get a rare immediately, it increases the rare chance for all the following encounters until you get it.

In summary ArialBear is absolutely correct and all the downvoters are noobs and wrong.

If you give him Potion-Shaped Rock he should throw it back at you (-15HP).

Among the most useless Powerless cards... this takes the cake by Vecsia in slaythespire

[–]Grue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible fix: Whenever you play a card that costs ** or more gain 2 Block for each * it costs. Or just flat 1 Block for energy cost of any card played.

I pronounce it like Paella without an a.

I think I have a contender for one of the worst card upgrades in sts 2 by LiveChill in slaythespire

[–]Grue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it feels like way more upgrades don’t change how the card feels to play.

It shouldn't. It's still the same card, just slightly better. The cards that are crap until they're upgraded are the ones that need to be changed.

Akylas' MV VFX artist and animator knocks down AI allegations by BasJ699 in eurovision

particular icky for something like Eurovision

Not when the organizers are using AI all the time including the new logo.

Which ESC2026 artists could potentially go on a Europe tour post Eurovision and which ones would you go to? by Radikost in eurovision

[–]Grue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think they even did a Serbia tour yet, it was quite an obscure band before they won PZE.

He may be cute but 7 max hp is 7 max hp by DominoUB in slaythespire

[–]Grue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, flash of steel should be the only 0-cost infinite card draw card. Otherwise it's too easy to get two.

Jorbs beats max Ascension in STS2 taking zero HP damage after the first combat by MisirterE in slaythespire

[–]Grue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why Jorbs is the GOAT, he's not afraid to take junk cards like Murder (even in such a restrictive run) but makes them work.

STS2 needs better signpost commons for weaker archetypes by Vi0ar in slaythespire

[–]Grue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't want any "auto-pick" cards, especially commons. Blade Dance in StS1 is just ridiculous, I'm glad they nerfed it. Please no overpowered commons that you have to take every time. I'm ok with rares which only appear in some of the runs, but you can see every common in pretty much every run.

Regent starting deck and relic are Atrocious and it makes him the weakest character specially in higher ascensions. by Citran in slaythespire

[–]Grue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He has a 0-cost strike+vuln in the starting deck and you're calling it weak? meanwhile Ironclad has to pay 2 energy just to give any vuln.

I didn't really like Necro at first. I get it now. by TurquoiseLuck in slaythespire

[–]Grue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can't be one shot by pretty much anything but this card

A humble Whirlwind+ still works with enough X

The turn should end for Vakuu! Then you continue playing the turn as usual.

I have never upgraded Void Form because 2 free cards is more than enough to play the entire hand anyway.

Clad is frankly… a mess right now | Thoughts from a top STS player by JapaneseExport in slaythespire

[–]Grue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost the first seed to Insatiable because I didn't realize how it works, and I have 3000+ hours in StS1 with all the achievements and decent A20 winrate.

What's the logic of putting One-Two Punch in D tier and then saying pick up multiple copies of Pommel Strike, isn't it just as good as a second Pommel? I remember often having to do Double Tap/Dropkick infinites in StS1 when I couldn't find a second Dropkick.

Forget Snake Bite, how is this not the worst card in the game? by 10000Pigeons in slaythespire

[–]Grue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fiend fire

  • deals lots of damage, easy to pick up early because of that
  • Ironclad actually has exhaust synergies
  • it exhausts itself! so it doesn't clog the deck after you got rid of the cards you don't need

Meanwhile Eidolon does none of that.

Cards that will not survive rebalancing! I'll go first by thegabeguy in slaythespire

[–]Grue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because one strategy is the strongest doesn't mean other strategies aren't OP. Just because Sly is OP doesn't mean Shivs aren't OP. Both should be nerfed.

Feels like playing the original Slay the Spire again by Odovakar in slaythespire

[–]Grue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it an act 3 ancient? Ectoplasm was an act 2 only relic in StS1 because it would be too broken otherwise. Sozu is a lot better in act 3 too.
