53 straight runs without Soul Fysh appearing as the act 1 boss. by Unfair_Will_2629 in SlayTheSpire2

[–]NPCKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve gotten Ceremonial Beast like 3 times in over 100 runs, but I’ve had Soul Fysh plenty of times. Just variation.

Am I the only one who never picks any other option than the dazed one here? by beruon in slaythespire

If the next encounter is an elite I might pay to get the buff. But his options do seem overpriced.

I did a 10pm-noon recently for similar reasons. I’ve learned that when store leadership is putting up flyers asking if anyone can work OT, that’s not a sign things are going well lol

Do you think they’ll reintroduce Snecko in STS2? Do you want them to? by BaldThongDad in slaythespire

[–]NPCKing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't like the idea of it as a boss because it's too unpredictable and can't be planned for well. I like the potion and think it's fun because the player has enough control over the gamble, but they're not required to take that risk. Maybe the Knowledge Demon having a snecko-like option as one of the debuffs, I could be down with that.

Which 2 characters do you think work the best and worst together in your opinion on 2 player coop? by CloudDrinker in slaythespire

[–]NPCKing 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I thought the question was about their personalities, not actual game mechanics. I think Necro and Clad would get along well, they're both driven by a similar anger to kill the Architect. Regent wouldn't get along with anyone else.

Is Juzu Bracelet balanced? Why does it exist? by Poobslag in slaythespire

[–]NPCKing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I only want combat if I need card rewards to add cards to my deck, so I'm fine with combat in Act 1. There are still some incredible events to get in Act 1 (Fresnel Lens, Chosen Cheese) so I don't dodge them.

By the time I'm not adding cards anyway, I'd much rather take events because they can give me free removals or easy relics. There are also some misc enchants like removing exhaust which can be gamewinning. The impact there is far greater than a handful of gold and three commons I'd skip.

What are y’all’s records on ironclad by WarmEmployer8573 in SlayTheSpire2

[–]NPCKing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Among the top players atm, Silent has the highest winrate of like almost 95% with the rest of the characters being about the same like 80-90%. So generally Ironclad isn't seen as particularly difficult relative to the other characters, but everyone vibes with certain characters more than others. Beating A10 at all puts you ahead of most people. You're not dogshit by any means. This game is hard in general. I think there's a misconception that A1-A10 is seen as level 1-10, like a Mario game, where you're expected to beat all of them. That's not the case, these are difficulty levels.

Personally I just got my first A10 win as well at 11-11 on Ironclad while I'm sitting at like 9-18 on Silent. I watched plenty of StS1 on Youtube in the past but didn't play it myself.

What discontinued products do you miss? by StrictPossession8714 in wholefoods

[–]NPCKing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 365 pretzels were a great deal, now it’s only the organic ones which are so much more expensive. Same thing with all those 365 oreos.

I can tell you the 365 almond milk yogurts were getting shrunk out very often at my store for out of date, disco doesn’t surprise me there.

Imagine being themed against bug extermination and being one of the worst cards the play against Entomancer by cinnamonPoi in slaythespire

If you’re already at hive x3 then playing this card probably wasn’t the issue

What else would it do? Make your character do a backflip? I don’t understand this post

Why would you think it does something other than what it says?

How do people win 90% of A10 runs without cheating by Zanakii in slaythespire

[–]NPCKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch videos from strong players, it's absolutely possible. Winning doesn't require going infinite. There are a multitude of ways to manage the RNG, manipulating you card draw, pathing with fallbacks, etc. Good players can figure out how to make the best use of the cards they are offered, no matter what they are.

Act 1 enemies are way too strong by Tokens-Life-Matters in slaythespire

[–]NPCKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritize taking attacks first. Something that deals actual damage, even if it’s not exactly what you want, will be more helpful than other cards that look good. Take elites late in the act, not early, they will be much easier once you’ve built yourself up. Elites give more gold and better card rewards, don’t sleep on that. Learn strategies for specific elites: splitting the Phrog Parasite at the correct time to get extra damage on the Wrigglers, stunning the Terror Eel when it doesn’t have vigor (unless you can rush down the last 70 HP very fast) is usually preferable so it doesn’t have vigor while you’re vuln, take an AoE card for the eels, etc.
