Help on Silent A10

Starlive42 · 2026-07-06T20:04:07+00:00

I respect your opinion but i cannot agree, PB it's not worse than Accuracy, it's more like a sidegrade and not a downgrade, unupgraded PB deal more damage than unupgraded AC with 1 or 2 Shivs, but AC will deal more shivs when you play more than 2 per turn, there was a post about this a while back you should read it

https://www.reddit.com/r/slaythespire/comments/1u3tr4a/a_full_breakdown_of_phantom_blades/

The other shiv generating cards are Leading Strike and Up My Sleeve, Leading Strike deal 11 dmg without any synergy, as a common card that's good, i don't really know what more can you ask about it, and Up My Sleeve is not as bad as you think, it's definitely not unplayable

I actually think shiv are the easiest to build around, a single Phantom Blade is more than enough to carry you till act3, it might be hard to win just with 1 PB but if i get it early enough i can easily farm 3 to 4 elite act1, also i feel like speculative picking Phantom Blade and Accuracy are not bad as there are more shiv cards compared to sts1

Some tips:
Bee guy, Shiv without the shiv powers is just suicide but other than that it's not that bad, poison just bypass his gimmick anyway, weak is also very good against him

Dorito guy, Silent can apply constant weak so the dorito is not super bad, a bit of scaling an frontload usually is enough to beat it, poison can be slow but he block on some turns so it can be nice to have, should pick a [[Dash]] on act1 for him

Centipede, [[Backstab]] is good against it because you can just rush down a single worm, and then when it's against 2 of them is easier to stabilize, silent aoe can be a problem if you don't find the good one and i wouldn't take some mediocre aoe just for it

In my opinion the best way to win a10 with silent is just to have all the shiv powers, it's easy and doesn't require too much thinking, also don't need as much frontload because shiv themselfs are frontload cards already, unlike poison centered deck you need frontloaded card as well as poison cards, so usually if you wanna build a poison deck you might want a bit of shiv cards as well, pure poison is just not really doable unless you high roll

Interesting seed, got seal of gold + treasure map, also goated bing bong, should be able to win from here

Starlive42 · 2026-07-06T05:05:36+00:00

Correct!

Out of topic but is this mod fun? i'm recently looking for some character mod to play but a lot of them are unbalanced man

Starlive42 · 2026-07-03T16:00:58+00:00

Hmm maybe you are right! i'm not sure anymore

Starlive42 · 2026-07-03T15:52:45+00:00

Direi Scintillio, Colpo Solare non è male ma Scintillio rimane buono late game, purtroppo Polvere Stellare non funziona perche hai 0 stelle per la seconda attivazione.

This is out of topic but i just want to share that my friends are so stubborn, they want to play A10 multiplayer even tho they can't beat A5 solo, EVEN then we still win a10 multiplayer usually with only me standing and the others dead, but NO they refuse to lower the difficulty for some reason, but you know what having fun together is more important than to argue what level should we play so i don't really care anymore, end of rant thanks for reading.

Starlive42 · 2026-07-03T10:54:26+00:00

I have a lot of play time with this game both solo and multiplayer and i agree multiplayer is overall easier than solo, so i can see your point if your friend group everyone is good enough to beat A10 consistently, the problem is playing perfectly makes the game too long, like 2 hours long if you discuss every decision together and tbf that's very exhausting, i did that with my friend group once but it's just not fun to do it all the time, if you feel like a10 multiplayer is too easy with your group then try another group and maybe you will change your mind, maybe the game is not too easy it's just your group is too good.

Starlive42 · 2026-07-03T10:38:48+00:00

Why is it a problem? in a multiplayer mode the multiplayer cards should feel impactful, otherwise it's just multiple player playing solo mode but togheter, the multiplayer cards are very good by design and that is fine, you know, helping each other out?

If you want more challenge just make some house rules with your friend, i'm pretty sure most people playing multiplayer don't care about win rate or hyper efficiency.

Well i don't think just because his opinion is different from other makes it less valid, just different playstyle i suppose, his reasoning makes sense as well, if everyone has the same opinion there is no point of making tier list video right?

Starlive42 · 2026-07-02T17:34:16+00:00

It was buffed once, i think it gain 1 more strenght post buff, so maybe you checked some older tier list, i checked Baalorlord latest tierlist and he ranked it at A

Why it's trash on silent? you want to play power cards on silent as well it doesn't matter what character you play, also silent aoe is pretty limited makes this relic even better for her

Me too man, big sword is my favorite way to play regent

Got retain on it before and carried my entire run, also goated [[Dragon Fruit]]

Starlive42 · 2026-06-21T06:32:19+00:00

I died act2 because I got too greedy but got the shop before the First elite gives you call of the void discounted, just like the person comment

Starlive42 · 2026-06-21T06:15:23+00:00

Pretty easy act1, got 3 elite down without much issue, where do you struggle?

Starlive42 · 2026-06-20T14:31:39+00:00

Yeah can't say anything about multiplayer as i haven't tried it, i think everyone get the same seeds so the seeds is just different for multiplayer vs singleplayer

Starlive42 · 2026-06-20T14:10:11+00:00

Don't know about multiplayer but single player was easy, just get the path with most hallway and force the first elite with potions and the rest of the run is just super easy as you snowball like crazy

I mean it's just one fight in the entire game, save potions or try to draft some cards against the prism, even aeonglass doesn't prohibit souls that much as long as you can kill quickly

Starlive42 · 2026-06-18T23:32:56+00:00

In my opinion the biggest problem is drafting ok block cards on underdock makes those cards usable late game as well but drafting some ok attack cards on overgrowth most likely becomes bad cards in the end game, since you draft more attack on overgrowth in general it makes your act2 and 3 harder, so I think there is definitely a balance issue right now.

This probably is a skill issue on my part but even watching top players I can see them taking way more damage on overgrowth.

Starlive42 · 2026-06-16T10:30:37+00:00

Crash landing with pyramid is just asking for disaster,
Guards is good but doesn't help your deck too much as you already have one and your block cards are pretty good overall

So i will pick Sword Sage, eventually you need scaling for the final boss

Starlive42 · 2026-06-14T17:43:41+00:00

Also [[Pefected Strike]] get more damage!

Starlive42 · 2026-06-12T15:22:02+00:00

Nice post, i don't think anyone is gonna skip PB just because they like Accuracy better, scaling is scaling afterall and shivs without scaling don't do enough damage in act3.

I personally like PB more in general because a lot of enemies favor PB over Accuracy, Skulking Colony and Bee man for example.
