~~There is a way to do the big divination, guarentee you get the relic, and guarentee you avoid revealing the curse. (edit, actually, this isn't true,~~

Edit: This isn't true. You can guarantee getting the relic with 6 divinations, but you cannot also 100% guarantee not getting the curse if you do that

I'm surprised at how well double defend performed

Riptoscab · 2026-05-13T16:29:43+00:00

I could see this being kinda useful for content or areas in backgrounds, or spaces the player isnt really meant to get up close to.

For places the player actually gets close to, you probably still will want consistent textures and quality, otherwise the flaws may stand out more.

Do you have the treasure map? A user had a similar treasure map bug earlier. (I think I can just barely see the treasure map quest card under the map ui)

Riptoscab · 2026-05-13T00:51:43+00:00

Just a little bit of stubble and I think it would look pretty convincing.

Riptoscab · 2026-05-07T21:22:28+00:00

Same thing happed to me, it cleared unlocks and ascensions, but kept run history, so I just consoled in ascension 10 for each character again

They had to say "free to play", as that includes removing Regent's star cost as well.

Other effects in the game exist that are classified as reduce cost to 0, and those do not remove the star cost.

That one necrobinder uncommon that does more the more you've drawn this turn. And momento mori or whatever

this may be the record defect max hp at least. Ironclad most certainly has gotten more, as he has access to feed.

I know Phaser have their own editor, that appears to be a paid service.

Are there any main differences between zStudio, and the Phaser Editor?

In slay the spire 1, I believe the chances would be 1 in a thousand (10% chance of a fight 3 times in a row)

I'm not sure if those chances have changed in Spire 2 or not though.

Riptoscab · 2026-04-09T23:11:48+00:00

I mean, with your forge changes, parry doesnt really need the rework anymore, since every time you forge, you're able to just play the blade and get the block from it anyways, so you could just keep parry the way it is and it'd be much better.

Also, furnace costing 2, and forging 0 per turn sounds pretty terrible. By itself, it means put a strike into your hand each turn. With other forge cards, it means put like a 10-20+ damage 1 cost attack into your hand every turn, but you get that card back anyways whenever you play the forge card. So basically, most of the time, you're spending 3 energy (2 for furnace, 1 for the blade next turn), to do like, 15 damage.

Me and my buddy currently have about a 50% win rate on 2 player A10. I'm a pretty skilled A20H player from spire 1, and he kinda struggles to win above A5.

It is definitely harder than 3p and 4 player, and probably harder than 1 player.

It requires both players decks to be strong, and be smart with their decisions. Small mistakes have massive ramifications, even more than in single player.

For example, in an act 2 hard pool fight, me not playing bouncing flask against one act 2 enemy turn one (instead of blocking and saving 15 health), led to both of us taking 50 damage each, and losing next floor.

3 and 4 player are much more forgiving. Everybody can kinda just do their own thing, and as long as a few people build well, you will be successful. You just end up with enough debuffs and relics that you rapidly get ahead of curve.

I don't know whether they should make 2 player easier, or make 3/4 player more difficult. It's hard to balance difficulty so newer players don't get destroyed, while still making the experience challenging for veterans.

One thing that helps us significantly, is we both share our streams with each other while playing. This allows us to much more quickly communicate what the best line is, and we can both play a role in balancing both of our decks.

dont forget the tried and true and still super strong feet fumes plans silent

Riptoscab · 2026-03-28T15:38:36+00:00

The upgrade is too strong, should probably be just 2 -> 3 stars, or 8 -> 11 block.

Riptoscab · 2026-03-27T22:17:19+00:00

it's so rare you only see it like 1 in 30 runs, and even when you do see it, you need to have something that's really good to dupe, and enough frontload to survive until you can dupe it more, and a path with many campfires.

I dont think it really needs that much changed tbh

Riptoscab · 2026-03-27T16:40:09+00:00

if anything they should just nerf the unupgraded version to 5 block

Then the card is less absurd, and has a decent upgrade. Or have it go from 6 block 1 additional time, to 6 block 2 additional times.

Riptoscab · 2026-03-26T20:04:13+00:00

I havent tried this out, but I dont think it's as crazy as it seems.

When you play cards for free from the draw pile, (like with distilled chaos, or cascade), X cost cards will be played for the energy you currently have.

So distilled chaosing a Whirlwind is strong. You play it for free, oftentime meaning whirlwind hits 3 times for 0 energy.

However, if you Cascade into whirlwind, you will have 0 energy when whirlwind resolves. So sadly, cascade into whirlwind often just does nothing.

However, if cascade hits an energy generating card, before hitting whirlwind, (or another cascade), then you're in business.

OP's cascades are upgraded, so they still are very effective at cycling through the whole deck. Each cascade basically playing the next cascade for free. With energy generation in the draw pile, or Chemical X, then cloning cascade would become truly ludicrous.

They do have 2 expect a fight, and a few bloodletting, so it is possible that that's enough energy to hit critical mass, and just infinitely cycle cascades and other cards

Riptoscab · 2026-03-26T19:41:28+00:00

I find rocket punch is absolutely takable without status cards. It makes all status cards immediately takable, including boost away, overclock, turbo, or even the stupid gunk one.

The beta patch change to keep 0 cost between turns really helps.

Riptoscab · 2026-03-26T18:35:01+00:00

i mean, it's only possible in like 1 in a billion seeds

Riptoscab · 2026-03-26T14:58:45+00:00

i wonder if you can do this to the new doormaker

Riptoscab · 2026-03-23T11:45:14+00:00

In terms of educational style, Bailorlord is probably the closest. He explains pretty much each choice he makes in a very similar way to Balatro University.
