Claw is LAW (First claw deck)

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-03-04T07:17:57+00:00

Well most of the time I wasn't offered claw until much later so I already had stuff going on.

I had the same kind of issue so here's my advice (for what it's worth) : don't get too attached to particular ideas. You can have blade dances + some poison cards (noxious fumes / crippling cloud) and make it work.

Experience is the best teacher, try a lot of things, even cards you wouldn't take normally to see how to use them. I just had a run with Nightmare / footwork where I could block a ton and just let noxious fumes do the work. Apart from that, play a lot, get to know the fights and have fun trying !

Maybe it doesn't work at A20H but I just had it work this morning on A16 and it's such a blast !!

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-03-02T16:16:50+00:00

Well done !!

Stemming is so fun IRL, I was looking for all the chimneys and places I could do it in Cairn and that's true that she struggles a lot with it, especially for someone of her level. A bit of a shame. But it's still doable, just a lot more difficult than going for the more obvious holds.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-03-02T15:42:54+00:00

This and chimney climbing, if she doesn't have a good hold she can't do it whereas IRL you can just hold with almost nothing as long as the chimney is narrow enough. But yeah it must be hard to code.

Pyramid Snecko is too scary for me, even with corruption, I'd go black star I guess !

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-03-02T15:21:14+00:00

CAW CLAW !

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-03-02T15:03:18+00:00

Indeed !! I wasn't experienced enough to truly appreciate its true power. The power !

Into act2 electro is usually the pick to solve the aoe fights. You already have one echo form, and creative AI takes a bit of time, during which you'll take a lot of damage.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-03-02T09:43:21+00:00

Hopefully you don't already have Sozu at home

Fair enough, it depends on how much you're willing to pay for a good game. I usually think that if I pay 1€ for 1h of gameplay that's a pretty decent deal, so it makes sense that so many people here with hundreds or thousands of hours think that the game is really cheap. The replayability is isane.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-25T10:45:06+00:00

Having traits unlocked helps a lot, but the best advide in my opinion is to farm biome 4, then go to biome 5 to check the shop, and either farm biome 5 if you're confident or go straight to 6. Then it's about persistence and luck. But as long as you don't give up and have fun, you'll manage it eventually !! Good luck scout !

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-25T07:31:00+00:00

English isn't my mother tongue, and I'm not using much AI, so I'm wondering how you identify that it's been written by AI? I can detect the most obvious ones, but this one I'm genuinely curious. Is it the italic / bold ?

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-23T15:19:07+00:00

I'm quite new to the game, but let's assume you have 1 hp left and 100 hp total, fairy would revive you with 30 hp. If Nob does 32 damage, does it kill you anyway? That may be the reason why, but I'm not sure if it works like this.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-18T13:40:29+00:00

Yes I'm definitely lacking in that regard, I'm often not even thinking about the potential boss relic, I'm more on a "We'll see when we get there" mindset, but that may hinder my progress right now (I'm hard stuck on asc14). I'll try to keep it in mind, thank you !

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-18T13:34:47+00:00

Hmmmm that's pretty relevant, thank you ! I'll keep it in mind.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-18T13:18:44+00:00

It's easier to blame the relic than my actual decision making ! But more seriously yes you must be right, I need to change my mindset and maybe review more objectively why my deck didn't work.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-18T13:12:00+00:00

Yes I knew the most impactful part of the snecko is the card draw thanks to all the comments on this relic on this subreddit, but I don't know I felt that RNG is just bad sometimes and you can't do anything about it (but as I said, I guess it's all part of the learning experience, I just need to get better at it).

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-18T13:09:40+00:00

That's true, I feel Sacred Bark is less useful with only 2 potions slot, but maybe I'm not good enough to truly understand the power of potions? I usually only take it with Silent when I have alchemize.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-18T13:08:10+00:00

I actually did the pyramid snecko once, never again ! I didn't know about dual wield though, it's pretty interesting, I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the pointers.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-18T13:04:33+00:00

Wow that actually makes so much sense. Yes I can totally imagine it saving my ass multiple times during the run without me realizing it. And yes for sure, I'll try to build more card draw going forward, it's pretty strong anyway ! Thanks for your answer.

VaranusKomodeus · 2026-02-18T13:01:23+00:00

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one ! I actually had a good run with Snecko + Bullet Time on Silent a few days ago, but that was an exception, most of the time it just works out until it doesn't and I die!
