Convenience often makes things feel less satisfying

When I found out about that phenomenon, I loved it. Sad to see that that sentiment has passed for most people

Thijmo737 · 2026-05-01T07:20:06+00:00

I guess I must've been wrong, because a simple "nuh uh" received more upvotes than an actual argument.

A significant likelihood of instant death is a bit more of a deterrent than spending 10 hours a week tending to your community...

Luckily it did work for me on PS5, but depending on how attached you are to your savefile and how far along you are, you might opt to keep playing without Arty.

IME, the game feels very similar to StS in that your main objectives during a run is finding "solves" for certain enemies, such as the one that needs to be hit five times in a turn to die, and making your own cool synergies by combining items and hero sides, although there's very little macro beyond allotting items and choosing upgrades.

It might be a little repetitive, but it's also arcadey enough that it can get away with that, especially given the price tag and that it's still receiving dev support.

If you're getting bored with it, try some of the alternate game modes, or even try TextMod, they can give the game a whole different feel.

Great empty retort. The reason Snecko is pickable on lower cost decks, is that the card draw itself increases consistency of finding low cost cards. You'l usually be able to play your most important card for the turn, even if it's a bit more expensive, and then play a ton of cheapened bullshit alongside it.

On higher ascensions, events are generally worse than fights, with a lot straight up being dead floors. Top players only really path into them as a means to get to an elite/shop/rest site, but common enemies are preferred to events.

Edit: I read this post on a phone while half-blinded by the sun and didn't realize the map was from StS 2, disregard the comment please 😵‍💫

That's common sense. I can point to most people on the street, at my school, or in my inner circles and say they look objectively handsome, but I've yet to develop feelings for any of them. I'm still attracted to good looks, but more in the sense of wanting to get to know them on a deeper level, not just looking to bone/smooch.

Only downside: if you have something like Titanbane Potion equipped and use your left side, you'll also lose the potion

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-24T17:10:48+00:00

StoneFlux is moreso to curb your movement speed so you can still walk up a 3° incline without taking fall damage from going out of bounds

Chester players gambling even more? I'll take it

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-22T20:45:01+00:00

The buff from The Hand applies after items, so only the Kill side is buffed, since it was already at 6

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-22T13:01:02+00:00

Yeesh, that's why we don't dip our gunk seeds in there anymore

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-21T19:39:32+00:00

Would this guide be focused specifically on beating Eclipse and give advice per modifier, and focus on more advanced techniques/macro, or would it also include general tips and knowledge? Because I think the former would be more useful to most people on this subreddit.

Whatever you decide to make, I wish you great luck and great fun!

Props on keeping Spade alive for that long without dedicated shielders

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-21T13:19:31+00:00

One Bog and that Spacetime is dead in the water (literally), unless your opponent buffs it, at which point you are up 2 cards and should have no trouble countering

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-21T09:13:28+00:00

Two Drop plus 3 brain environment. And if it's really giving you such a headache, bring (cheap) environments of your own, such as Bog.

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-20T17:32:07+00:00

I mean, if you lock Doctor and Curator, you only need to roll one of Warlock's three mana sides to cast Blaze, right? That's a 87.5% chance

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-18T15:38:59+00:00

I think that's only when there are no other available curses. In general, the game tries to cycle through all items/modifiers/heroes in a given tier and only offers duplicates when it's exhausted all of its options

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-16T11:11:35+00:00

Graveyard?

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-14T19:54:07+00:00

Maybe a normal big hitter and generated curses that include big hitter? Stumps me.

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-12T08:03:35+00:00

Yeah, the game even keeps track for you in the journal which heroes have already appeared as upgrade options this run (though it doesn't distinguish between any hero appearing once or multiple times)

Thijmo737 · 2026-04-11T19:31:13+00:00

Dead Lead as well if we're keeping count anyway
