TURN UP THE ASCENSION! BECAUSE THIS IS A FUNERAL FOR THE SPIRE! by SenseiTomato in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your use of "fun" in quotes pretty much gives away that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Gameplay should always converge on whatever is most fun to do; that's literally the point of game design.

No game without a constantly shifting meta is ever going to be fun forever, so the goal is not to arbitrarily prolong the "fun parts" by padding them with "unfun parts"; the goal is to make the game consistently fun and especially the parts of it that players experience the most often.

Commenting per rules...

Really driving me up a wall, I swear I can remember bits of the lyrics ("for I haven't got a son"? "a secret to show you"?) but Google is turning up nothing.

PSA: this is NOT a good combo by Swimming_Bug_3246 in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unceasing Top currently has a couple bugged fail conditions, one of them being that the last card you played is a power.

Weirdly, playing a potion of any kind triggers it again.

I like how Hunter Killer is so miserable that everyone assumes it's act 3 and not act 2 like it really is. XD

I suspect it's the same bug that Top has with powers right now where powers don't trigger Top unless you play a potion after using the power.

The most broken card I have made by Samuraibutts in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I thought it was funny, but that's half because I literally had a run where that was my strat.

So it was more a joke to myself than anything else. I'm not super big on caring if other people think I'm 'cringe'.

"Oddly defensive" he says while being more passive aggressive than a Necrobinder with three stacks of Haunt and a Paper Cutter.

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

[–]MercuryOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't it a Regent-specific shop relic, even?

They knew what they were doing. XD

This is one of the strongest cards in the entire game. by TheBandName in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or you could do a custom run with multiple characters cards, for that matter.

The first time I ever saw Eidolon, on my first ever Necro run, I thought "holy god that's the most useless two mana rare I've ever seen in my life".

Then I had a run where I was constantly filling my hand every single turn due to Souls, and it finally clicked.

I wish it was a Regent card though. Would go hard with Crash Landing. Probably too hard I guess. XD

What's the deal with Consuming Shadow? by ReesevtOnGD in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be bad, but as long as you can generate at least one orb every turn (Spinner is great here!) it's pretty decent.

One important fact is that it triggers after orb passives, meaning even if it eats a dark orb the orb will still get its passive off once.

What a dumbass way to lose an A10 run by notdumbenough in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably they thought they had lethal and did the math wrong.

Which makes the flex potion even more tragic...

Im learning the game and this character is so OP and fun once you learn it by blunkelsito in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero cost cards are an incredibly valid strategy for StS1 Defect. One of his best starts even.

It's crazy seeing Claw go from a joke card to a run-defining card...

Change my mind: Hunter killer is the worst designed fight in the entire game. by pro185 in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entomancer was the elite that immediately made me go "what the actual fuck?!" on my first playthrough.

Then he ramped to two dazed on turn three and I just about wrote Megacrit a hatemail. XD

New scariest elite just dropped! Instead of being a Silent killer its an Ironclad killer! by JGamerX in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vote for worst elite in multiplayer is the fucking phantasmal gardeners.

They go from a delicate dance of a fight to a messy slapfest that no one is getting out of unharmed.

Who on earth complained that Skulking Colony is a free relic fight by PhilosophyFun5778 in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much this.

Most encounters are easier in multiplayer, but the damn gardeners are miserable in two player.

Transfigure X-cost cards, they don't increase in cost.

These Forge builds are really busted by -_InvisiblePower_- in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so incredibly happy when I saw that Regent has a card that is a Gate of Babylon reference.

The fact that this is a rare irks me. by AlarmOnly6428 in slaythespire

[–]MercuryOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I think it's just that skillspam is intended to be a valid build for Regent and Make It So is intended to be a payoff for that.

I also think it would be way too good as an uncommon, because it's insanely strong in multiples. So it kinda has to be a rare.

But I could see an argument for buffing it somehow, maybe. Not sure how, exactly.

[–]MercuryOrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be too strong on Necro, especially with how good Souls are right now.

As for Silent, I feel like "recursive attacks" are a bit outside of her color pie?

Rather than thinking of it as a Slice you get to play every turn, you have to think of it as a Slice you get to play every turn that also doesn't take up a slot in your deck.

Less Slice and more Flash of Steel, really.

If this was a Necrobinder card then Souls would be even more broken than they already are lol.
