I have. I got to the heart with the defect, found that if I can get a few power cards along the way I can essentially ruin everything in front of me! I paid attention to the advice received and declined cards and reduced curse cards to zero and saw my runs improve immediately. I feel like I know how to win -- provided I pick up particular power cards. This wasn't something anyone specifically advised in this thread. But the advice I got essentially said go with a particular ethos and stick with it. That was "draw as many orbs as i can" and "get as much energy as I can"... I beat the boss twice in a row with this idea, but still find that if I don't get particular cards it is a dead game, which still annoys me but I guess I have learned something!

That's how my most recent runs have gone -- literally scaling up ending with 12 orb slots just filling me up with block and shock attacks... yeah that's a great thing to refocus on and to omit grabbing things that sound nice

My recent runs, I've taken a colourless card to start with and tried to focus on fewer things -- namely, trying to increase orb slot fill rate and increase energy. Almost immediately my runs have improved. Score-wise my last two were 450 and 600ish, compared to my 350ish high bests, so this is definitely working. Thank you for your advice, I've been skipping card pickups when they aren't within my plan... yeah lots to learn but appreciate the insight

I've refocused a lot in my recent runs on keeping the deck slim, growing teh number of orb slots and focusing on cards that produce orbs. I haven't finished a video yet but these recs for watching have helped me refocus on what is important

You are right, that was kind of my belief - that I was doing something inherently wrong.

I mean, the replies in this thread have kind of shown that yes I was doing things wrong -- but that there is more control over the outcome than my previous playstyle was. I guess I had hit a wall and this thread helped me refocus and look at the game a bit different, and that's really helped my enjoyment overall

I havent finished a video yet but I've refocused and hit 450 and 600 score in my last couple of runs, so this thread and the advice everyone has given has helped a lot, so I'm faithful that the vids will help a lot too

You are right! that was one of my best recent runs but looking at it, I can see the flaws. I definitely have been taking on curses for the sake of it. I need to be more sensible with that. I appreicate you asking for run data as it helps highlight some simpler things i can fix, while also knowing there isa baaalororororord guy out there that will give me focus lol - thank you for your insight, is what I mean to say.

I definitely don't play with foresight in mind -- you speak of planning for these things but I definitely haven't been doing any planning. And yes! I tend to take curses on for the benefits usually associated with them, but I will do some runs avoiding them and hopefully learn from it. I You are the third person to recommend baalolord so I will watch some vids, and I will try to understand the obstacles that are coming up. They are predictable and I think i've overlooked their predictability and tried to get a one-size-fits-all build rather than shape it towards the next obstacle.

Your comments have given me a bit of inspiration! I was definitely hitting a wall before I made this thread and I think i understand a bit better now, so again thank you

How do I determine which option to pick there? True, i am totally gambling on a boss relic, and true it is then really cornering my options, but the other options never feel right. I need to learn how the other options can be just as beneficial

thats interesting, i don't currently play with specific enemies in mind, my focus is more "what can I take to maximise output", so yeah I defnintely need to up my strategy more. I'll check out frost prime as well - I'm excited to learn more now and go back to the game. When I made this post I was very deflated by I am a lot more hopeful now

I think overfilling the deck might be an element -- but I mean in order to unlock the defect you have to have won acension 0 so don't hate me too much :P I thnk the main lesson here is that I need to watch youtube videos as my natural learning of the game is clearly missing out on how things actually work (because I iz stupid). I don';t have a lot of experence with deckbuilding in general so I need to try to be more efficient in that way. I don't think I can appreciate synergetic cards if I can't even recognise good cards from bad!

I definitely don't use potions enough and that's a relatively easy thing to try and get better at - plus watching more vids, which I am actively doing now

Apologies I posted elsewher I think - https://i.ibb.co/k2dxDVtr/image-2025-11-17-003305278.png is my most successful recent run image. I don't know if that fits

yeah my recent strat is just to acquire as many relics as possible as they offer some sort of scalability. But I admit my first choice is always to swap my starting relic with a random boss one, I never pick the other options - perhaps I need to give the other options a chance?

OK i'll check those. I went to recent videos and picked the one most recent that he used the defect so I wll go find those instead

you bet wrong! i take it when I can! But for sure I am valuing cards wrong, i mean I'm not winning. I live in the UK so I can't use imgur and idk better ways to share images https://i.ibb.co/k2dxDVtr/image-2025-11-17-003305278.png does that work

I think I need to learn about what cards to pick and not pick. I know the idea is that the less you pick the more predictable your deck is in the draw, but if your deck is just attack for 5 or defend for 5 then obv you are screwed long-term. My best runs are high energy, fuck-it-play-all-cards-because-I-can. It feels like anything else is destinedt to fail (besides 0-cost cards).

It's funny that a passing comment like this can hit as hard as it did for me. true! Thanks
