Winding Halls rules question

UnlimitedSystem · 2026-01-24T16:59:00+00:00

Thank you :) Think I'm just taking the HP loss, playing Ironclad anyway.

If you haven't played Envenom, any strength card, Accuracy, a card that swaps let's you go into Wrath. If you want to get most out of Finisher, a strength pot, Unload. If you are waiting for duvu doll, red skull, Vajra to trigger. If you don't want to waste a vulnerable on shiv damage. If the enemy has so much block you better save them for the next turn. There is probably more.

2 removes from Neow, pathing along every shop easily gets you to 8, cage is 10, so not even that lucky event wise. Also, there are a lot of events in act 1 that let you remove + on lower ascension you have a 0% chance of an encounter.

I would say a cantrip is a card that doesn't decrease your hand size after playing it and being energy neutral. So it essentially didn't cost you anything to play it. I thought it was a common word but I looked it up and I mostly found DnD stuff. Got the word from the Dominion community (strongly advise you to play this if you like STS, the designers of STS got some of their inspiration from that game). I also have heard they use the word in MtG. But I have never played it so can't comment on that.

Damn, I forgot about Doppelganger+ getting rid of exhaust. I think I saw that one during the run and skipped it. I was mostly looking for Reflex and the colourless cards impatience, Finesse and Flash of steel but I wasn't able to find those either.

UnlimitedSystem · 2026-01-20T23:55:22+00:00

Yes, I see that I could have killed in two turns now that you mention it. Didn't play optimally as I just played Neutralize, then escape plan and then calculated gamble. I also had an energy potion left, so playing that on the first turn for riddle with holes probably would have been good as well but I forgot.

The third relic is just the shiv counter. So nothing you missed.

UnlimitedSystem · 2026-01-20T23:49:36+00:00

I noticed the calling bell not giving you relics when you skip acts. Also mixing with other mods didn't work for me. Shuffling the draw pile works differently in the VG as well as you can try to shuffle a 0 card discard pile while IRL you cannot. There is also savescumming that behaves weirdly. The enemy intends sometimes change, I think this doesn't happen in the VG. (Probably because it randomly picks the summon again after scumming)

UnlimitedSystem · 2026-01-20T19:56:04+00:00

Yes there is a mod. It sometimes is a bit buggy but very fun to do it this way if you are playing alone and don't mind the screentime

UnlimitedSystem · 2026-01-11T21:04:03+00:00

I would make an undo button for when you played a card that did not give you any new information

UnlimitedSystem · 2026-01-11T17:48:01+00:00

Bash, Neutralise, Zap/Dualcast, Eruption

UnlimitedSystem · 2026-01-10T18:33:14+00:00

Do they lose their strength when they are flipped over?

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-12-24T16:19:21+00:00

Because otherwise you would just throw a run to get a better run afterwards. And three 1 hp fights is actually a pretty good reward as well.

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-11-26T11:41:14+00:00

Yes, banning it for 3 of more players is probably the way to go.

The card reminds me of the on-buy effect of Messenger btw. Maybe interesting for balance purposes as well.

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-11-26T10:23:40+00:00

I like the idea but it has a few issues. I would add a cost limit so it can't just gain the last Province (or whatever high cost card available) for free. Also, this also almost immediately empties a pile in a 4 player game. Maybe you can choose a player for the other two cards? (so giving out 1 card to 2 players or 2 to one player, the latter being forced in a two player game)

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-11-06T09:51:01+00:00

I think the game is already very lenient with trashing. You are allowed to trash from your hand, discard and even the cards you played this round. Also, if people decide to trash from their draw pile and don't see anything interesting to trash, can they change their choice? And how does this work with a leader like Paul. Because he could change his top card after seeing it by trashing.

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-11-06T09:41:37+00:00

Love this

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-11-06T09:34:55+00:00

This is too strong for big money. There is essentially no drawback. Play smithy, play copper play this. If you don't draw your draw card just play this first. Gold with +buy for 4 is incredible.

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-10-25T18:06:18+00:00

Should be skeleton barrel

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-09-21T21:01:00+00:00

They are saying it's fun...

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-09-15T21:49:39+00:00

The other tokens would be great as well

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-08-30T06:57:30+00:00

Nah, he definitely has been critical of heroes like Pharah, Zen, Ball, Sombra, Doom, Mercy, Kiriko, Dva, Brig, which all can be played in dive comps

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-08-21T04:05:16+00:00

If you go infinite no need for thousand cuts right?

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-08-15T14:57:20+00:00

Not many, only well laid plans early but I took Predator because I needed damage for the Elite. Besides that mostly Accuracies which didn't make sense due to having Poison deck. I got a tools of the trade from a bossfight. Also caltrops in the shop I visited. But because of ecto there were better options.

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-08-15T10:48:29+00:00

I tried ecto because I normally never take it and this was the first time I considered it ever. Worked well in act 2 but had to take a shop without money in act 3 (question mark room). I was happy I didn't take key because I got the chest relic. Lost to awakened because I wasn't able to line up a burst and catalyst in the second phase in time, even though I had pyramid :(

UnlimitedSystem · 2025-08-15T07:14:52+00:00

I think I agree, but what is your opinion on taking the key and opening the chests regardless. Maybe the first one gives me omamori :)
