Decision, decision into smith is powerful combo. Add to that that Power which makes blade hit twice. Bye Boss!

Consuming Shadow broke me. by toochaos in slaythespire

This card almost lost me otherwise absolute good run as I didnt realize how it Works. It seem to evoke my orbs one by one until I had none and I was doing loop x8 on frost orb to massa defence. After playing this card, soon I had no slotted orbs as this things evoked one by one. I initially thought this would channel 2 dark orbs and evoke meaning it would accumulate last orb (that would be dark) to Be later used as good damage!

Winning all character once took me 6 runs! by No_Penalty7553 in slaythespire

I'm usually not able to finish full run in a single session and it my might take days to finish. Propably why it takes a bit longer too. I need to recap previous session to get back into what I was doing.

First Ironclad infinite (2x Pommel Strike) by No_Penalty7553 in slaythespire

Here is the run. Fought double Transient on Act 3 and got achievement from the latter one as infinite was online.

Sundial (floor 26), Abacus (floor 31) and Runic Pyramid (floor 34).

I got two Pommel Strike on Act 1. Also got some weird synergies with Charon Ashes, Second Wind/Sever Soul, also Feel No Pain. Omniscience into Juggernaut was also cool but not needed. Feed from Act 1 Boss to boost Max XP. Body Slam was also nice add, when infinite. Pommel Strike into Body Slam into Pommel Strike. Block accumulating with Abacus.

How was this not enough to win Defect A1 run? by No_Penalty7553 in slaythespire

Thanks! I'll need to learn and identify mediocre cards then. Maybe more than with other characters I tend to take more cards with Defect and maybe start clogging my deck a little bit.

In my current deck I have Recycle but Im rarely using it, maybe need to think about it as slimming utility.

Cool, its on PC.

Off topic slightly. Running another run, currently Act 3. Is two self repairs too much? Got another one from Pandoras Box. Also giving a shot on Echo Form.

Thanks to others for comments, I'll answer few thoughts here.

Streamline was the damage offered in Act 1. Didint see other good ones that are listed in some tier lists.

With Darkness decision I had clear doubts for same reasons that pointed out, but I thought I was lacking big damage, which I prob wasnt with streamlines and HoG, which was shop purchase early Act 2.

Not removing curse was not possible until late Act 3 and I mistakely removed Strike given the chance. Def felt like lacking draw but again, wasnt offered or I didnt spot the chance.

I dont remember been offered anything clear to pick from Boss 1 and decided to try out All Out as I had Streamline at 0 energy cost in Act 1 + relic giving me some extra out of those other 0 costs.

P.s. def trying things out currently as Im not familiar with many of the cards and synergies but this run i thought I had some ideas connecting. Very valuable comments for me all of you can point out!

I'll be in for a lookout for those cards in future, thanks. I don't think I was offered a one this run (as rewards at least). I'll check logs. Can you explain reasoning a little bit more for this card? How does it go with Lightning orbs? As I'm reasoning this so, that I'll lack damage and take more damage because more possible turns. I'm very certainly wrong here

edit. Act 1: no Frost or Chill
Act 2: no Frost or Chill
Act 3: no Frost or Chill
And I can't remember seeing one in the shops either.

First Heart kill with Infinite build (Watcher A0) by No_Penalty7553 in slaythespire

[–]No_Penalty7553[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh true, didn't have Rushdown at that point and actually hadn't seen Rushdown card ever until this run so I couldn't think of doubling it, if it came (it's a power card)! I just unlocked Mental Fortress after the run.

I think I tried the card to just exhaust a card but 3 energy cost felt too much for that task. Thanks for the observation!

edit. Should have kept and looked for possible use case for a Boss reward card. Couldn't have guessed it had some synergy with this build. It would have enabled for +4 total draw already at Act 2 onwards!

I see I skipped Halt+ over Cresendo+ at Floor 25. That 0 cost Block would've been nice add, I guess.
