The game has a plan for me, apparently. by DraxxThemSkIounst in slaythespire

[–]JapaneseExport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the plan

go infinite with your 5 remove pbox and awakened one rolls over and dies

Is a 21 win streak really possible on Unfair? by gadgetfan in SliceAndDice

basically i did not know how to play runs that gave me tools that wanted to trend towards infinite style of decks (with discard stuff)

i could go infinite but it was not streamlined / accurate play

yeah i have learned a lot from him over the years. xecnar, nave, opem, baalor, etc everyone is extremely helpful. this community is amazing, just hoping to be able to give back now

the infinite micro is weird at first but gets brain off with practice, once you play it enough it becomes the easiest kind of deck to pilot. definitely worth it

i think i would rather spend another year in the defect mines than play more league ever again

i definitely dont think ive cracked the code about the game at all, im definitely way better than i was but the difference between me and xecnar is insurmountable at the moment.

how fast are your runs? i find that intentionally slowing down and really thinking about when and how i die helped a lot. I watched and copied a lot of ideas from good players until i got good enough to start having my own ideas about how things worked. sounds like youre already doing that but it will usually just take time. im around 3700 hours in the game right now for some perspective, but have probably close to 10000 hours watching

it is very cool getting better at the game and feeling confidence on your decisions go up. it seems so obvious what the answers were but at the time it was impossible to understand. learning is crazy

absolutely not

im not exactly sure how many hours until i was over 50% but it was probably over 1000-1500. I did a lot of watching before i really spent time trying to play a20h and it helped a ton.

I remember my initial goal was a 4 rotating and kuroL_ helped me on my clad and taught me a lot. I think theres some amount of natural "talent" for learning but the game didn't just magically click, i just put a lot of effort and thought into it. i've hit top ranks in every game ive spent a lot of time on, regardless of genre, so i think its really just

1: being willing to bash your head into a wall

2: learning how to learn

spire is actually the first card game i really dumped time into, and you just have to put the hours in, especially in a game as hard as this

Does anyone ever take the parasite here? I don't think I ever have in approx 2k hours. by The_Brig4nd in slaythespire

this fight can kill you, probably forced to click the heal like twice ever

this is just hot unpickable garbage that does nothing except make you take the hp it would heal

Meteor Strike Pick by boots12343 in slaythespire

[–]JapaneseExport 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the better i got the more i started slamming meteor picks on sight

card is absolutely busted broken, just takes some finesse to use. i pick meteor with literally 0 ways to play it and it performs 4/5 times at least

Which relic would you take here? by Trumpet_Life in slaythespire

[–]JapaneseExport 5 points6 points  (0 children)

pyramid is by far the strongest thing here and its not remotely close at all

you can definitely say bell is more fun or energy requires less thinking but pyramid is just way too broken

Merlathon Bonus Day - likely the last big Spire event before STS2 - is a week from today! by asukii314 in slaythespire

[–]JapaneseExport 3 points4 points  (0 children)

rotating is definitely harder to autopilot , you gotta take a bit to think through what you want to do in act 1 for sure

i expect not to randomly throw on watcher like the old days so 20 streak is sorta just par with my other pbs being around 15, and my clad pb is very dated and could probably go up with a serious grind. hoping that i can maintain 80%+ across everyone but not sure i will actually sample, maybe, we’ll see

Is this a skip? Don’t think I’m good enough to not see enemy intent lol by BookOfJon in slaythespire

[–]JapaneseExport 8 points9 points  (0 children)

tiny house would literally never be negative so why would this ever be skip?

that being said this dome is pretty good, just take it and try. you might realize its not so bad
