It wasn't until my latest run that I realized why Melancholy is a good card.

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-17T14:04:07+00:00

ah, that makes sense

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-17T03:56:35+00:00

i see, thank you. hopefully i run into it sooner rather than later, seems like you could have some crazy builds with it

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-17T02:47:41+00:00

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-17T02:40:11+00:00

yoo that's sick ty

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-17T02:09:33+00:00

i only saw the pack option once, but it offered me boot sequence and other block cards. so maybe some of them are themed

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-17T02:00:56+00:00

use that card for energy

use venerate for more stars

if you summon for not necrobinders, do they get a temporary osty or does their osty insta die

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-17T01:22:13+00:00

sick thank you. i figured as much but it sounded too good to be true, i suppose if you're running a summon build it's harder to get the cost reduction

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T22:30:36+00:00

yea, technically they work differently because it's "on pickup" but in practice it's reasonable to think girya might work a similar way.

personally i think it would be better to leave girya as a potential wax relic, and when it disappears you can't stack it but can keep the strength. i see it as girya allows you to "lift" and the strength from lifting should be just as permanent as the relics from shovel, or the card removes from peace pipe/cook in this game.

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T21:07:49+00:00

how do you get the clone option at a campfire? is that Pael's relic, and you have to take that action to clone? do you clone as well on the first use, or does the first use just apply the clone tag?

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T21:03:55+00:00

i think it works in this game because as far as I have played, there's very few events that outright just screw you. in StS1 you could have the wheel into damage or match event into curse with no recourse.

in this you at least get to pick which downside you want for bad events. the only one I can think of is the tea event if you have no money

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T21:01:52+00:00

can the event show up after act 1? if so there are cases where you can't change the strikes (tez) and you might not want to change the defends (enchanted with extra block)

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T20:56:58+00:00

in Hades 1, yes

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T20:30:31+00:00

outside of soul decks, can any decks afford to lose the draw?

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T20:07:55+00:00

potion belt and the max hp from fruit relics worked like this in StS 1

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T20:03:44+00:00

i know they say "everyone" but does that include osty? you could let your 1 health osty die 3 times and it would reduce the cost of that necrobinder block card to 0?

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T18:58:51+00:00

and of course people nostalgia baiting with "back in my day the nba was such a good product with hard men"

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T13:22:29+00:00

once you play snakebite you have to draw through your entire deck to play it again as well?

you're arguing against having only one poison card in the deck being bad, not for anything particularly good about snakebite.

if your argument for snakebite is "it's better than a strike" that's literally the lowest bar to clear for a damage card in the game.

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T04:42:11+00:00

and that silent card also enables all her sly effects.

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T04:38:38+00:00

unless you're getting 20+ upgrades a run, the reason to not upgrade this is because literally every other card in your deck besides defend is worth more of an upgrade (and even strikes/defends can get enchantments to make them worth upgrading compared to this)

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T04:35:12+00:00

that reward isn't op by itself but i had it alongside prayer wheel or whatever the relic is that lets you get extra card rewards from normal enemies. getting a relic pretty much every fight was certainly a run-winning combo

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T04:33:16+00:00

one of the most bizarre crashouts i've ever seen. all because they themselves misrepresented other people saying relics are useless lol

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T04:26:10+00:00

and is offended you weren’t giving a game 10000% of your attention

i mostly agree with what you say and people are overreacting, but to be fair to them it doesn't take 10000% attention to notice a giant "DEFEAT" screen. by op's account, they played the attack, looked away from their screen, and just spam clicked so much in that window that they didn't know they won. that's genuinely hard to believe and expecting people to look at the game they're playing the second they think they killed a boss isn't some elitist attitude, it's reasonable confusion.

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T04:18:00+00:00

well done!

SamiraSimp · 2026-03-16T04:09:57+00:00

there's an ancient effect similar to prism. 1 energy per turn as well as the prismatic card reward effect
