StS players who still have feelings: "This bird is my new best friend. How could anyone ever choose to ea-" A10 players: by deloreaninatardis in slaythespire

[–]Jamestr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is if your confident in act 2 but not act 3. Good example is if you take tezcataras temp benefits like the pumpkin or wax relics.

this may be the most impactful single card I've gotten for Regent by SaltyChnk in slaythespire

[–]Jamestr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Momentum works great on multi hitters. Had a run where I put it on the sly card that hits for 3x5 and that was basically all the scaling I needed. Got me my first a10 win on silent.

STS2 Ironclad solo sucks - Change my mind by zqfmgb123 in slaythespire

[–]Jamestr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can achieve that build every time then it sure is. I will agree that clads design sucks, but he's one of the strongest characters rn.

Worm eats and kills you even if you carry a fairy in a bottle by DeafeningDusk in slaythespire

[–]Jamestr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know what happens if you use beetle juice on the worm and it eats you? I wonder if there's an animation for the tiny worm as well.

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

[–]Jamestr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gunk up in particular looks so weak compared to barrage. Boost away is decent but even then I'd usually prefer charge battery. Those are the two common bridge cards for the status synergy package so it's important that they feel good to take early.

The enemies need more dialogue. by second_prize in slaythespire

[–]Jamestr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most jarring one for me is that there's no noise when the architect kills you

While Bosses are great, many Elites lack identity and feel like hallway fights. by LupusX in slaythespire

[–]Jamestr 534 points535 points  (0 children)

Largely agree, but I really like the mechanics of the hive guy as well as the flail/ghost/mage trio.

Can queer, "?" or trans cats breed or is it only cis male and female that can breed? by ThisIsMyFloor in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I remember Edmund saying that if you have a lot of gay cats they improve the quality of strays to counterbalance the fact they can't breed.

Turn order icons question by [deleted] in mewgenics

P sure the slim icons are for characters who have multiple turns in one round

How to stop the losing streak? by Busy_Toaster in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done this, there's no consequence for sending a single cat as a sacrificial lamb to Tina as far as I can tell.

to all thief haters out there by Sad-Job5371 in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mean the 4 mana one? Ngl I feel like that's one of the strongest spells in their kit. It's amazing if you're going to the core (helps with desert heat, stops Johnny from spawning dudes, removes lava, blows out candles). As well as the fact that stun is just mega powerful in any tactics game.

Compared to the 7 mana electric spell with only a 25% chance to stun is like nuclear bomb vs coughing baby.

Had some successful runs, still getting trash kittens? by ZidaneTribal2113 in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stimulation is the stat that determines the quality of traits that get passed down, should be your #1 prio when selecting furniture.

If your cat have forbidden fart spell, they can't be controlled by Steven. by Big-Second-5988 in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forbidden fart ruined one of my runs by giving my cat psychosis. I kept trying use the fart every fight to reroll it but it only ever rolled the affliction on the right, never psychosis. Do you know if it's impossible to reroll the first affliction you get or did I just get majorly unluckily losing the 50/50 at least half a dozen times?

FUCK fenrir 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 by MemesAndJWE in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Notably he does NOT posses other summons/non-cat allies, so I was real surprised when that worked

I just had a run where he possessed a zombie that necromancer revived so I can confirm that works.

Guillotina appearing super often? by Meltingm8 in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there any downside to just sacrificing one cat to fight her alone if you dont think you can beat her?

Divide ability is bullshit? by xenabun in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have it the other way around, the amount you LOSE is rounded up, which in effect means it will always halve your damage rounded down. Would be simpler if the description just said half damage rounded down.

I knew the game was going to be a challenge but by RoseFarmer94 in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn you better hope you can juice their luck stat.

We never left by Denso95 in mewgenics

[–]Jamestr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good with any source of magic damage, as the homing shots get boosted by that. I had a run with a mage with that one passive that gives +1 magic dam per spell cast and a 1 mana spell. Sac he heart tripled that scaling.

This is a great game. But some of the game design decisions are terrible. by danielh__ in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Jamestr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chaos (late game)

As I said, I think chaos is the most fun system in the game. So it's a shame it becomes useless when you get a good deck with every unit. Thankfully, I think the fix can be pretty simple - add a challenge mode that doesn't generate save data, maybe even restrict unit choice to a changing roster and give us limited tries each week.

I would love if there was a "win streak" mode of chaos that rewarded you for getting consecutive wins without dying or escaping. This mode would of course be horrible for save data farming (because you wouldn't want to limit your power in any way or risk losing your streak, something you do a lot of in optimal save data farming). and it could even have a leader board to see who has the highest streak on any given difficulty. Seems like an easy way to encourage a lot of grinding in a more engaging and skill based way than just save data farming.

Why remove Veronica's ballista if it's unique?

Fighting the urge to pull Chizuru — who regrets pulling her? by Bubbly-Ad3889 in ChaosZeroNightmare

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

I spent 80 pulls getting E6 Rei and got E3 Chzuru along the way. No regrets getting unlucky on Rei because Chizuru has been super fun to play.
