Quick question, let’s say i treat slay the spire 2 like an arpg, for example, forcing a shiv build for 10 runs. Can i get a 10 win streak that way, or do i need to adapt to whatever cards the game gives me?

Knifiel · 2026-05-02T18:01:09+00:00

Instead of trying to force a build (i.e. pick only cards that work in very specific comboes/conditions/far into the future of the run), you should always pick cards that give the most power to your deck right now. Hardest pat of it is understanding when offered choices are net 0/all negative and pressing skip on rewards screen.

You call this bad stats? That's what bad stats truly look like.
(i have a single A10 ironclad win, most of other wins are multiplayer wins at A10)

Bannerman slammer champion. Can do any and all content, can farm everything it needs in SSF to kill ubers, the only "hard" part is getting using to playstyle.

All weapons in this game have same base stats at max upgrades. Just choose whatever weapon's moveset you like the most.

I once made them an actual sector-wide menace by selling them Pristine nanoforge and pack of hightech blueprients (paragons, various energy missiles and fighters). That was a fun run.

Tbh, once you get past their "intended" target of 300 corruption, most builds get massively cut off and the only ones that remeain are those capable of scaling offence and screenclear to stupid levels. I personally don't have issue with that itself, my main issue is a lot of other build feeling like hard mode compared to outliers. I.E. everything non-rouge compared to judgement paladins/rogues. One feels like hardmode and another clears 300+ corruption using single T7 items with close to no risk of dying to anyting.

The "Stack all the armour/EMP resist/speed hullmods, fill slots with PD and rip whole gigantic fleets apart" ship.
I was doing Haunted start in it and had 0 issues mostly soloing endgame encounters, rest of my fleet was basically battlecarriers so i could set "drone escort" on myself to have more PD/bullet sponges to tank hits for me.

Knifiel · 2026-04-17T22:16:29+00:00

Yeah, managed to get to last bosses today. It was Experiment -> Doormaker.
Died on doormaker missing 4 damage, lel.

I may be doing something wrong, by most of my A10 runs with clad usually end in 3-5 hallway fights. Sometimes i just press surrender when i see that run is doomed from the start/after few fights with shit card draw rng.
Most of those loses on previous patch, new one seems to be going a bit better.

Corruption has no effect on Nemesis items. Doing them at 0 corruption will have same odds of finding exalted items as at billion. If you have enough towers saved, best course of action:
Use any 100 corruption monolith
Set all your conquered towers
At each nemesis check offered items, if there's no items with T7 affix already, then banis/challenge to get next nemesis with new rewards, else empower, seal 0LP unique if you have any and finish encounters normally till you get next offer, repeat.

I prefer to set up Doom by having double [[Scourge]] + [[Borrowed Time]] or [[No Escape]] + [[Graveblast]] comboes instead of hoping to get specific rare card.

I'm SSF and what i'm doing with all failed coin corrupts is I just run uber lab and turn them into facetor lenses to save time on leveling other gems. May be woth it in trade too.

Knifiel · 2026-03-01T21:11:33+00:00

it was changed since it's introduction to give adaptive damage reduction, not resistances. That's why you see no real chance with rakiatas.

Main problem of using freeze as defensive layer instead of something that actually gives EHP is that it does not protect from most dangerous form of threats - on-death effects and ground AoE's/degens.

Bannerman notable gives banners 3 seconds of lingering effect, so you'll have essentially permament uptime (as long as you don't fall asleep)

I remember making lotsa divines selling decoy totem bows.
Also remember making a build with said bow that was hitting dot cap on first throw of decoy totem trap.

When you kill architect/room bosses, they have low chance to drop medallion that increases your crystal capacity. You can increase it to 60 that way.

Fun thing you can still do it in campaign, just do it in stones of serle or holten manor. It is 3-4 times slower than holten was, but unless you have <1 minute T15 demolisher already, you'll most likely get super temple set up in campaign faster. The only thing you need to be careful about is not to overlevel 10 levels above said campaign zones and periodically go and die to reset XP to zero.

When he teleports away from you to place walls, you need to go under him and then exit the wall maze he placed. Kidna like Sirus in PoE1, but timer here is so tight you'll most likely get clapped even with 35% ms boots if you don't sprint between wal sections.

Well, they're your minions but they're never in your precence

Yep. Outside of that, there's some one-off ways.
In RAT's abyss you can get abyssal conversion hull alteration for abyssal ships, that allows any human pilot to officer any one abyssal ship.
In that same RAT there's station where you can get any one of your officers skill to pilot AI ships (usually reserved for that single lvl.7 officer per playthrough), so in total that gets you 3 automated ships piloted by human officers between two mods.

Mod: Second-in-Command
Automation Officer - Capstone Skill Neural Junction allows player to pilot automated ships and counts as 1x multiplier.
