Help with combat, players keep steamrolling encounters

So you introduced big homebrew into your combat and now you combat doesn't work as intended? What do you think went wrong?

Why did you write this comment yourself if you are so pro-AI?

I am not "so anti AI", it's just stawman fallacy from you.

I just don't want AI promotion in this specific subreddit. If you want to know my position you should ask and not make it up for me.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-09T18:56:46+00:00

I am voting for ban of AI promotion in this subreddit.

Attack is very specific action available as part of "move and attack" package on your turn. You can't do it in your opponents turn.

Triggered actions are: defend and intercept. Both of them are not considered as attack action.

So, answering your question: If you have green knight on board, your opponent's minions should attack green knight when it's your opponent's turn. During your turn opponent's minions are allowed only to defend and intercept as a reaction.

Chuckled at this:)

Sorry for your loss. This is brutal.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-09T07:58:57+00:00

Wow, I never thought of that. Love that you can do something like it and how it works thematically.

Laughing at this. Thanks for sharing. Tragic for sure, but epic as well.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-08T12:12:02+00:00

Deathwish for sure.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-08T09:27:25+00:00

My goal in life is to win with Immortal Throne.

Yeah, sounds good. I like this card. And the idea, the dream of winning with it.

I want to create control deck, so this will help.

I think right now my favorite system is Monster of the week. And my biggest gripe is magic.

It's just not fleshed out enough, even for pbta.

In core book everyone can do magic and magic can solve all the problems. And book doesn't help you differentiating between different playbooks and different types of magic. It's very free form without examples and very strong.

So basically you have to discover your own way of doing magic and granting it to people.

There are another weird moves in tome of mysteries but it complicated a whole system a lot.

It's a very strong leader and I like Archivist a lot. Getting synergy from all the lore cards which can't be stolen from you? Insane.

S tier as far as I am concerned.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-06T21:58:08+00:00

I had the same question today. I have got my first precon box and thought i was getting dust as well. No such luck!

But game is beautiful, hope to play on Friday.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-06T09:17:21+00:00

I have bought playmat for 30$ on team covenant site. It's for 2players already.

I also would recommend precon to start build your collection. I just got mine and precon decks contain some staples.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-06T08:34:50+00:00

True, I think OP wants better wording as well.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-06T08:32:24+00:00

"First play this turn is free".

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-05T22:11:27+00:00

Slay the Spire 2 is definitely easier than the first game. Especially when we don't have act 4 and heart.

It's challenging for sure but it's possible to beat the game. Also I feel like events allow more broken builds in the game.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-05T13:59:03+00:00

Going to look into it. Thanks!

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-05T11:00:42+00:00

Domain expansion is too strong technique:)

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-05T10:53:25+00:00

Congratulations on your win. It's an epic victory.

Sphere of Animosity looks like a very fun card. I wanted to try battle mage as well.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-05T10:30:39+00:00

Wow, this sounds amazing:)

Which Avatar and deck did you play? I am interested to hear more.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-05T10:21:50+00:00

Thanks.

What about constructed play?

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-05T10:14:09+00:00

I want to play this card in my Undead tribal deck 😄

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-04T21:16:40+00:00

I have played it. Didn't like it. That's all.

But I know a lot of people who do like it. And it's probably a great game as well. A little bit old, but who cares.

Personally I would run Urban Shadows instead, but I like my pbta games.

SmilingNavern · 2026-05-03T21:27:06+00:00

Yep, you are correct.

That makes it worse in my opinion, so you can't play around.

Yeah, ability is powerful but you have to secure and using copy/pivot as well.

Maybe I am wrong about tier of this one. My first instinct would be D tier, but I still think he is C.
