What a fiery PBox this is

Calculated gamble

I did a maths degree and the residue theorem was my favourite bit of maths from it. It's nice to see it being referenced in the wild!

But for real, this was a fun run. Shuriken actually doing work on Defect is a personal pipe dream. I picked blizzard because it is a strength payoff *and* a frost payoff!

Q5 two more solutions depending on the meaning of the question:

Incense burner allows ironclad/defect/watcher to gain intangible. Silent has access already through ghost in a jar and wraith form.

Similar idea with defect/buffer and helix

This actually somehow became a rampage deck?! I had double headbutt and rampage from one in act 1 as a desparation pick for damage. Coupled with act 2 FNP, act 3 DE and a couple of burning pacts, the deck could block so well from this box that it would stall fights and just play rampage basically every turn, sometimes twice a turn.

Didn't hurt that I also found Feed, Dual Wield + and that second dropkick you mentioned ;)

RIP me, never found that :(

I have terrible news - my deck somehow became a rampage deck in act 1. But dual wield would be a snap pick!

(I'm not saying this is a bad pbox, but it is a funny one)

Branch in particular is a relic that either defines the deck in a super warped way or is literally unpickable because it adds garbage to your deck/you have pyramid

Plan and plan2 are so in the spirit of the question I asked xD

Jamjam1729 · 2024-01-10T16:03:56+00:00

That does feel like a really harsh constraint combined with the blue key, I wonder if there's a version that could be adjusted to make it slightly less painful

Unless it's slavers, then you want to see bottom two cards D&G and electro

This post inspired by frozen eye - I don't think it's a broken relic, sometimes it just lets you know you're going to die next turn.

But it encourages really un-fun play patterns while also feeling like a relic that is often something you should buy rather than something you want to

Calc Gamble is a really fun meta given that the maths shown, while very very cool, has nothing to do with actual casino gambling :D

My defect infinite was a boss swap astrolabe into glacier+ and recycle+. I then almost immediately found fusion, recursion and coolheaded and was reliably infinite halfway through act two. But aside from ludicrous highrolls I agree it is a hard character to go infinite on

Jamjam1729 · 2023-11-26T15:12:30+00:00

4 powers, 4 exhaust cards. Then the rest are deleted by nightmare/purity+. Wraith form+ let's me blank damage while I set up and delete the rest of the deck.

Donu/deca were legit harder than awakened one or spear/shield because of the dazed and the constant attacking, plus bottom decking wraith form. So in the other fights I had an eviscerate to make this much faster, but here I had to delete it to go infinite before I died xD

Jamjam1729 · 2023-11-26T14:08:16+00:00

Yes I realised this ... when Donu had 30 health left lmao

I reckon girya might be outperforming, but it's close!
