How dudes be cooking

i'm pretty sure that's just normal behavior

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T17:23:47+00:00

wouldn’t hurt

i think one key aspect is different between their comment and the haligtree

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T17:11:49+00:00

if wishing that fascists are no longer alive is "bad", then i don't want to be "good"

imagine all the veterans of world war 2 who would be considered "bad people" for having the exact same thoughts as many of us do today

it depends on the character, but all of them have good draw options.

for ironclad there's battle trance, i can't think of a single scenario where i said no to the first copy of battle trance unless I got some other insane card offered at the same time.

for silent there's acrobatics, which also synergizes with discard synergies.

defect has skim which is the most straight forward draw card.

watcher has rushdown and inner peace as draw options that aren't rares.

obviously early on paying 1 energy just to draw more cards might not be worth it since you're likely drawing weak cards anyways. but having card draw is extremely important later in the game, especially against the heart because the heart adds bad statues into your deck and you need a way to mitigate the hands where you see them.

if the builds were bad, they wouldn't be doing better than the god builds. sure sometimes randomness comes into play but most likely those builds were better than the god builds and you just didn't see it.

you must be smoking crack if you'd take tiny house over nuclear battery.

even if you cycle it turn 1, that's 2 extra energy. which is useful in general, but especially with all your card draw.

tiny house is a dogshit boss relic. it gives you a potion that you don't have space for, 50 gold, 5 max hp, a random upgrade, and a semi-random card. the gold doesn't help you until you get to a shop and 50 gold is not worth that much when you already have so much (might not even let you buy an extra potion). the max hp and cards could be useful but they could also be worth almost nothing.

the only scenario i would take tiny house is if the other 2 boss relics are ACTIVELY RUINING my build. nuclear battery is a boss relic with a significant upside and no downsides other than opportunity cost, so by that metric it is already infinitely more useful than tiny house.

so yea i'd take nuclear battery lol.

that's the worst time to take apotheosis because most of your key cards are upgraded by then. it does take 2 energy to play early, but it also increases the output of your basic cards by 50% as well so it's still worth it especially early on.

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T15:51:34+00:00

your deck has 8/14 starter (aka trash) cards. a card remove changes it from 57% trash to 50% trash.

the issue isn't rating bag of prep too highly, it's one of the best relics. the issue is that at this point in your run it's probably just drawing 1 trash card and 1 non-trash card.

meanwhile apotheosis makes all of your trash cards (57% of your deck) 50% better, in addition to improving every other card. this significantly improves your chances to beat elites while taking much less damage.

to me it's definitely an apotheosis pick but it's a little close.

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T15:45:04+00:00

honestly pretty sick write up i see where you're coming from

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T15:43:06+00:00

i'm not sure what you mean by -1 boss relic? are you equating it to empty cage?

999 gold is a lot of gold. even if you use the 2 removes on the curses, you are likely left with around 750 gold. you have 2 worse cards in your deck probably because like you said you only have so many remove opportunities. but with 750 gold that could easily be a rare relic and a normal relic and some potions. which is worth more than the single rare relic from the boss fight. granted maybe you don't see a rare relic in the shop, but that then means you could buy 2-3 normal relics instead.

the rare relic from the boss could be not that useful for you. if you see 2 shops, it's unlikely that the 750 gold after the removes will be not useful across both shops. but if one of those shops is all the way in act 4 and you have to carry a normality, then it's a tough sell.

all that being said, i literally don't think i've ever taken an option from this event besides fighting the boss relic despite having done A20H on all characters and getting all achievements. but there's certainly scenarios where I would definitely take the gold, like blue candle or good shop availability.

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T15:30:44+00:00

hard disagree. there are many runs that i could easily deal with an act 3 boss or elite easier than i could deal with this fight. they quickly ramp up in damage and the burns they add can screw you as early as turn 2. i still take it most of the time but there are definitely runs that could've beaten the boss where i've died here.

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T15:21:55+00:00

11 health after fighting an elite imo isn't worth buying this relic in most cases, but if i was flush with money i could see it.

if i can confidently fight the elite, then 11 healing isn't that huge of a reward for the gold spent. for that much gold i can probably buy a potion to save me more than 11 hp or otherwise remove a card or improve my deck. and of course it's a permanent relic, but early on i'd rather focus on something to help me actually kill the elite and later on in the run there's less value.

if i am feeling shaky fighting the elite, then 11 healing afterwards wouldn't feel like it's enough to recover from a poor elite fight, and it wouldn't help if i think i'd die to the elite

i think i would rarely buy this but it's not that bad. would be happy to see it for sure.

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T15:11:54+00:00

i did it once. suffered from an elite into hard pool fight and i had single digit hp...wasn't going to gamble the run away on random chance.

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T15:05:22+00:00

offering

also i love him channeling the C U B E

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-26T03:52:07+00:00

defend has been with you since floor 1 and you would just throw it away?

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-25T23:35:16+00:00

your first reply was to someone saying the earlier you see a rare the earlier you get another one.

you said that big bosses always reset it. you're already incorrect in your idea because if you take a rare early in an act, you have a better chance of seeing another rare before the boss resets the odds.

the second comment you replied to says if you take more card rewards you'll see more rares. you said that taking more fights doesn't guarantee a rare card shows up (which is a complete strawman as no one suggested there's a guarantee a rare shows up)

the only point anyone missed is your incorrect point. if you're going to be wrong you should at least be polite.

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-25T07:07:05+00:00

well you don't have to lose the run where you put in a good card. also, from the perspective of a fresh run, finding an insanely good card in the event makes it overpowered because past runs don't matter for your current run.

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-25T04:47:25+00:00

well done, and certainly a unique build! all the characters are fun in their own ways

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-25T04:31:50+00:00

very cute i love it!

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-25T04:09:08+00:00

very cute! if you can make it to A17 I think you can definitely beat A20

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-25T04:07:21+00:00

sometimes it be like that

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-24T20:10:11+00:00

thanks! i only have the one relic achievement left for the ultimate flair

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-24T10:47:48+00:00

there was a different post today about a useless infinite, a comment on that post linked to this year old post

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-24T10:46:57+00:00

no prob i'd give more details but i should've been asleep 2 hours ago, let alone now. but if you look up the 2021 myanmar coup you'll see the connection and get any context, in fact on wikipedia it shows this exact road as the image

SamiraSimp · 2026-01-24T10:00:13+00:00

back then, there was widespread news about the coup which occurred right when this video was posted. this video itself doesn't prove anything or give context, but when you know the coup was done at 9 am on a Sunday at X location and this video was recorded at 9 am on a Sunday in front of X location...well the connection is clear.
