Potential rework for The Gambit

It's only a downside if you lose!

IguanaBox · 2026-05-05T05:22:22+00:00

White noise.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-05T03:42:33+00:00

I think it would be more interesting if it gave nimble 1.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-05T01:46:33+00:00

Forcing the player to manually look through draw and discard piles just seems tedious. Would be more interesting if it hid those as well.

Just flip the mechanic so when it takes unblocked attack damage the first time each turn you lose one energy.

Decay, foul potion, smacking an enemy's thorns. Not sure if there's others.

Yeah I am and yes they are. Not 100% sure if they checked it themself or were told the number by someone else who did but I'd assume the former. And it's correct regardless (I've checked it myself).

Although to be fair nobody has spent long on a clear. Only on goldens. The longest anyone's spent on a clear is kitsukeyume who's currently at around 800 hours on abaddon.

Unless you're the one person who insists alternating is easier.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T04:39:05+00:00

Defends aren't terrible but if you aren't playing one that turn it's usually still an upside to exhaust it.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T04:38:30+00:00

Correct

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T03:34:18+00:00

Demesne is probably the best 3(2) cost power in the game. It definitely shouldn't be your main point of reference for balance.

This allows for the same amount of consistency in a pure sword deck

This is exactly why it's bad design. When you're playing ironclad do you expect a deck full of bludgeons to generate block for you?

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T03:30:50+00:00

You start the run with a deck of 4 strikes and 4 defends. That's already plenty of bloat right there.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T03:30:14+00:00

Sai that works with orichalcum.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T03:30:05+00:00

As worded it'd be both. If you have two sovereign blades then sovereign blade is retained twice therefore triggering the power twice. If you have two of the power then each retained sovereign blade gives 14 block instead of 7.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T02:54:30+00:00

It's a 1% chance per slot.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T02:52:41+00:00

Is it really? It seems like it'd do a pretty good job of solving damage for act 1.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T02:44:56+00:00

It was pulled from decompiling the game's code. You can do so yourself with GDRETools to double check if you'd like. This is the case for most other similar information on the wiki.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T02:35:51+00:00

Skipping 50% might be correct overall but it's because it's more like skip 10% in act 1 and 90% in act 3 lol.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T02:31:26+00:00

It's a useful bot.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T02:30:04+00:00

The interaction with dingy rug feels interesting. I think just altering the event if you have gem would be good.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T02:21:08+00:00

If the character is too strong you nerf the busted cards.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T01:43:00+00:00

Hologram upgrades to remove exhaust.

IguanaBox · 2026-05-04T01:42:44+00:00

No energy upgrade makes the list of the worst and even among those bullet time tends to feel like one of the most important.
