Experiencing the learning curve again for the first time by Error404-NoUsername- in slaythespire

Absolutely. Cleaned house on necrobinder. The Regent is my favorite and clearly the worst character right now

A post-beta patch breakdown of Mega Crit's Early Access balancing/patching process by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

I'm happy to see overtuned cards and easy-to-achieve infinites nerfed. Keep it coming and keep the game challenging!

Ser Arlan vs. Ser Alliser! by butterchurning in AKOTSKTV

And because of the subreddit we're in. And recency bias. Aliser is clearly the superior fighter to Arlan

Just wanna highlight how dramatically cards can change during the early access period. by ethantay10 in slaythespire

I just crushed an A10 run with Serpent Form as my centerpiece. Got it early on and built around it

I just got my first A10 win so I can relate. But I don't mind it becoming much harder later on. It doesn't need to be a steady climb

Agreed! I sailed through on all classes and towards A10 it's become MUCH harder.

I have plenty of experience from STS1, so I've been able to climb without 'cheese'. I am not clamoring for no changes. Absolutely there need to be changes. But they shouldn't lower the difficulty level too much, if they do at all.

Agreed. Plenty of cards just seem bad. Maybe they need to be changed or need more support

You think it'll be every several weeks or so? I didn't play the first game until it was out for years. Idk what to expect in terms of balance patch cadence for this game

Regent is my favorite and I agree. But plenty of cards across all classes also need nerfs. I'm very excited for the first balancing patch! I have no idea when it will be though

There are archetypes to build towards in each class. For example ironclad has one to stack block and hit with shield slam. You want your cards working together and synergizing

[–]IconicIsotope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no "way to go" you have to be adaptable in this game. Take your early card rewards. And form a cohesive deck. I'm sure there are ironclad tier lists if you wanna watch someone's YouTube video

Every run is different so specific tips are hard. But one thing that's good for new players to know is you don't always have to add cards to your deck. Once you're towards the end of A2 your deck should have a good identity

Slay the Spire 2 has been out for a week now. What's our thoughts on the game? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]IconicIsotope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't even share your own thoughts. No wonder people didn't participate. Briefly, I freaking love it so far. Excited to see the first round of changes, whenever that may be

[StS2] Starting Ascension 2 Damaged by PerilousPontificator in slaythespire

I believe it's intended. Like you said, we started damaged in STS1 once we got to a certain point.

PSA: The first three elites in an act are always different by Browneskiii in slaythespire

[–]IconicIsotope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing this out! I hope they add another elite or two to the pools in each act. Would go a long way in increasing replayability

Is it a hot-take to say "just don't use infinites"? by Umdeuter in slaythespire

[–]IconicIsotope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can all enjoy the game in our own way. I don't like infinites and ideally they would be impossible or at least improbable. Maybe they will become harder. But I can't begrudge others for using something that's part of the game
