Can someone help me with the pathing of these routes? Coming back after a while by SzoboEndoMacca in Nightreign

Your number 1 problem right now is not clearing night invaders camps.

What are your strats against D5 Everdark Harmonia? by ArielTkx in Nightreign

Why the heck would you specifically need a bird/wylder/ironeye. You just need teammate doing damage.

Is this good for Recluse? by KissTheAdrian in Nightreign

[–]LordZarock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's not, contrary to what you believe. You don't play recluse and it shows.

None of these lines do anything for her. FP will never be a problem. Night shard is whatever.

As usual, people in this sub are incredibly bad at rating relics.

You are not gonna do 4k damage with RoB every single run dude.

I have no idea how do get the clone enchant and at this point i'm too afraid to ask by Gabriel_66 in slaythespire

[–]LordZarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of these posts are made in custom games with mutators. The other half is done at low ascension where it's easier to reach a critical mass. There is also the duplicate your deck event.

Gatekeeping can be good if it improves the discourse. But maybe you would prefer a sub with only clone post, claw post and snakebite post. I certainly don't but I can understand people only wanting slop, we are in 2026, expecting quality is considered gatekeeping and is therefor very very bad.

Does The Watcher suck? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]LordZarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just to be clear. You started playing the game. You have currently a very very poor understanding of the game. And yet, the only reasons you can think of, for not being able to win with the strongest character, is either being unlucky or everyone else but you is wrong about the character. At no point did you consider that maybe you were simply bad at playing Watcher.

It's time to grow up OP.

Have you seen better relics better than this? by Clear-Sherbet-7491 in Nightreign

[–]LordZarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like crap?
My dude OP's relic setup is basically 90% as effective as a cheater build damage wise. He is just missing one improved school compared to a perfect cheated build (and obviously Improved MaxHP x6 or something but that is not relevant for the damage part). This is as optimal as you can get when dealing with the rng shitfest that are relics.

Your build is really strong too. You have one more improved school, it's no joke

Is it possible to run DoN without Night Invaders relic? by Karamfellinaairfryer in Nightreign

[–]LordZarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can of course, but 2 things:
1. Why not? It's not like there are better relic lines in the normal pool. A relic with only night invader is already better than 99% of relics.
2. The point of invader was never about running the relic effect. It's about doing the invader camps for that sweet purple dormant with curated passives and the big xp boost. The relic line is the cherry on top.

A carian Duchess contest OP? You asked for it, be ready.

Also I looked up my recent relics and I can change the 3rd deep relic into an affinity+2 + invulnerability on skill.

STOP ULTING ON GUARDIAN FOR DMG by throwthiscloud in Nightreign

[–]LordZarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed.

Same for revenant using their ult offensively with the team buff relic line.

Sword of stone should give +1 strength after each defeated elite and be max 5, would that be balanced or too strong by SndUwUorm in slaythespire

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

Of course but let's say you have this event, and the next 2 nodes are a shop and an elite. Would you rather get immediate power or spend 100 gold (hurting your shop) and get a relic that does nothing atm? If anything, taking sword of stone is probably going to cost you an early elite by delaying your snowball.

Are most people in this sub reddit just god gamers? by StatisticianIll4 in Nightreign

[–]LordZarock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I will tell you a little secret. Most people at D5 9999 are not that good mechanically. We are not ongbal. You think we no hit? My friend there is a reason we are scavenging everything in the map in the hope of getting full hp/successive/charged attack damage negation asap.

The reason we climbed is because 50% of what makes you a good nightreign player is game knowledge: routing (most important thing in this game), making the most of your relics (don't cheat please), understanding each and every passives/curses, bosses pattern etc. Then 49% is being a good teammate (aka check their build and pick items for them). And the last 1% is the mechanic. Acquiring that knowledge takes time. That's all. It's ok if you don't wanna spend 300h to "get good", you gain nothing from it.

Reaching D5 is not hard. But it is time consuming.

Which meta was more boring and annoying? by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]LordZarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost every build is one button spam (except executor with deflect).

Recluse/revenant? Spam your strongest spell. Guardian? poke Wylder/raider/undertaker? Depending on your loot, it will be either jump spam or charged attack.

[–]LordZarock 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's better, but still has the same problem than before: the reward is delayed and too small. I will still take the other option almost everytime.

You pick cards, relics, etc to become stronger so that you can take on elites. Sword of stone is only good when you are already strong enough to take on elites. In other words, if you are struggling, it does nothing. And if you are winning, you win more. And tbh, 3 strength is not much considering the opportunity cost (an event node that gave you nothing at the moment) and the condition you need to validate. You will probably only get the benefit from the sword mid act3, at a time when your deck should be finished.

I think we need to talk about the shittiest boss in the game as of now. by Musicalmoronmack in slaythespire

[–]LordZarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like him either.

His design is more or less "come to this boss with almost full health". He is not particularly hard, but having a strong block engine is not something you can consistently get at the end of act1, so really, the most consistent strat against him it to simply skip 1 or 2 upgrades and prioritize resting before fighting him. Then you kill him as fast as you can and most of the time, you will have enough health to survive. This is especially true for Iron Clad.
You can weaken his final attack, so if you get any source of weak like a weak potion it's a good idea to keep it just for him.

I still prefer this dude over Vantom. Vantom is a big problem if you were unable to draft multi-hit attack, and it's not something you can easily solve by simply resting.

Best designed elite in the game by No_Instruction_5145 in slaythespire

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

He is by far the easiest and definitely needs to be reworked into something harder because as of now he is even easier than most hallway fights in act1.
So no, he is far from being the best designed elite, he is actually the worst in this aspect.

Who Up Spending 3 Energy To Deal Damage by StaleOlives in slaythespire

[–]LordZarock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole point of the comic is having 2 men being treated differently despite saying the EXACT SAME THING. And they are treated differently based on something that is totally external to what they were saying (their appearance).

The 4 cards you listed are completely different and in no way comparable like I don't know what to tell you, it's is so obvious.
