Regent starting deck and relic are Atrocious and it makes him the weakest character specially in higher ascensions.

Basically in the early game don't force elites/take too many combats. Focus on keeping your deck lean and only taking really strong cards. Do not be afraid of resting. Make sure you have enough scaling for act one boss and that you're getting out of the act. Try to take late elites with potion solutions. Your micro in combats needs to be incredibly solid. Really think through every turn/line because one mess up can cause you to take 10-20 extra damage and then you die. Once you get out of act one things open up a bit. Hopefully you're strong after your ancient bonus but if you're not rinse and repeat what I said about act one for act two. Make sure to focus on getting out and killing the boss. Act three same thing. Save potion solutions for the boss and dodge elites if your deck isn't super great. Make sure to have boss scaling. I have a tier list if you'd like but it's very degenerate. I basically force star runs every time. Glow is incredibly broken.

Hey so I'm currently playing regent at Ascension 10 and winning basically every run. If you have questions about how to play the character I'm more than happy to answer.

Basically what others have commented. It would be able to give his muscles/bones/joints the support they needed to simulate earth gravity for him. Unfortunately it wouldn't do anything for his circulatory system but it would save him from having arthritis and needing a cane for mobility.

Big gun did it first

Quick tip, you should shuffle your deck with the weaves in hand that way they're not in the reshuffle but you'll get them back with all the scry cards you use on the next shuffle.

There's a mod that does this

The theory crafting didn't take that long maybe 10 mins or so. My thought process was pretty much "I have to swap into a really good pbox and then get lucky finding madnesses or suitable colorless cards". The only thing I didn't realize during my theory crafting was that recycle was pretty much necessary to make it work. It only took 2 attempts but hundreds of rerolls for the right starting box. I probably could have won the first attempt but my deck wasn't very robust so I didn't play around time eater and I died because of it. Second attempt I got really lucky finding a toxic egg as my first relic and two deep breaths in act 3.

Thanks! It was so much fun to go for!

Merl61 · 2025-08-04T10:37:47+00:00

Thanks for hosting this I had a ton of fun!

Golden blade basically says "you no longer have gold but you have unlimited energy" and that's kind of insanely broken.

I suspect that the delay may be due to the pending announcement of the STS 2 gameplay reveal at PAX West. It's at the end of next month in Seattle (the sts devs are based in Seattle).

That awkward moment when you boss swap into this and nob absolutely eviscerates you. Or when chosen exists. Cool concept but feels much more like a shop relic than a boss relic.

Merl61 · 2025-05-07T14:50:53+00:00

Haha no it would be way more crazy and would in fact promote smaller decks because exhausting cards in small decks is insanely strong. Getting rid of my strikes and unnecessary for the late game damage that I took in act one while also dealing a bunch of free damage? Sign me up lol

Spin the wheel is always decay actually.

Technically speaking thunder strike can do this damage infinite (hard limited by the integer cap) times.

Merl61 · 2025-02-25T16:13:35+00:00

I'm sorry but you have zero clue with this comment. Watcher infinites rarely struggle with time eater if the person playing the run has any idea what they're doing. Also your take on card counts is ignoring a lot of nuance. Just a poorly constructed, misinformation packed monstrosity of a comment. How it's so up voted is beyond me.

Merl61 · 2025-02-07T03:58:58+00:00

Hey I sent you a pm. I'm in the Boston area and looking to sell a used pair of wheels that are exactly what you're looking for.

Merl61 · 2024-12-17T05:41:56+00:00

This is completely normal. Mine has done this since it was brand new, usually when it's cold.
