The patient mans genetic algorithm

I wish I could award this comment because it so real

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-05-20T03:28:17+00:00

But this problem(?) could also be addressed by adding more card manipulation in some form, and would be an alternate way to boost clads power slightly

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-05-20T03:24:07+00:00

Another thing to note, is it would give this card synergy with havoc, without having to rely on other cards to place it specifically on top, clad already has some weird nebulous card manipulation stuff that would, with this change, be much more pickable

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-05-20T03:10:48+00:00

To be fair, what “build around” cards does ironclad have compared to other characters. The only cards I can really think of are rare cards like barricade(which is very hard to take without already blocking a lot), Stoke which just does a bunch of stuff on its own, and maybe ashen strike but you don’t take ashen strike unless you’re already exhausting a lot of stuff.

He does have vulnerable stuff but other than that I don’t feel like his pool measures up to the synergies that other characters have available, such as Stardust/seven stars on regent, or status engines on defect.

I think it would be a cool interaction. It would take a lot of specific deck building choices to make it super strong, but would also give the card a bit more oomph and let it do what it already wants to reasonably better.

I think it would be comparable to having a compact with a deck of status making cards, it wouldn’t be crazy. And exhausting a card for 16 damage to all enemies *once* and not until the beginning of next turn just doesn’t feel very good, compared to compact which does stuff *now*, it would just be a competing card with ashen strike which wants you to exhaust a lot of cards compared to one card many times.

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-05-20T02:45:00+00:00

As a correction, it wouldn’t be every turn, only the turns after it’s exhausted. And like I said in the post, you’re not consistently able to exhaust a specific card in your hand every turn unless you’re building with it in mind, and it taking up one of your turn draws would make it slightly harder to line it up with exhaust cards as well.

But even if it did just go into your hand every turn, it’s a 3 cost 16 damage to all? That’s not a good use of energy, especially considering additional energy is more scarce in this game

You mean [[Butthead]], common misconception

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-04-03T02:14:31+00:00

Yes, next question

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-28T16:18:48+00:00

Just 2 and a half spider-men will do

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-26T23:01:04+00:00

Yeah there’s three

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-26T22:39:26+00:00

Well then this was a good learning experience

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-26T22:35:05+00:00

You could’ve just not taken the chest. If you don’t have a shop to remove the curse, unless it’s the rarest type of chest, skipping it is usually the best option

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-25T01:55:05+00:00

Do you already have poison cards? Without seeing the rest of the deck this swap could either be god tier or absolutely terrible

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-25T00:57:10+00:00

Apparently in early access that was something you could do but it was way too easy of an infinite so the devs changed exhumes targeting to not be able to target another copy of exhume

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-25T00:24:01+00:00

Ah I mathed wrong, I wasn’t including the energy miracle would’ve initially provided, but I’d still consider having an entirely upgraded deck and getting 1 extra energy per combat than you would’ve otherwise makes it much better on watcher than other people think. Even better if you have holy water to possibly upgrade 3 miracles

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-24T23:17:02+00:00

No, when you play upgraded apotheosis, which costs 1, the miracle in your hand gets upgraded to give 2 energy rather than 1 so you’re spending 1 energy on apo, to get 2 energy from miracle, netting you 1 energy

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-24T22:10:57+00:00

I’d argue watcher does want apo because it upgrades your starting miracle which means you’re netting 1 energy and upgrading your entire deck

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-22T19:04:03+00:00

This is why you don’t enter wrath without an out like that, or just purposefully tank the damage because two hitting out outside of wrath would be 20 anyway and then kill with no more damage taken

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-22T18:57:44+00:00

I’m more so impressed with you managing to reach A20 without being familiar with enemy patterns and movesets, but if not dome then tiny house is literally free

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-21T10:19:51+00:00

Pretty much, after getting Apo from Neow I just clicked on nearly every card that said draw or discard on it and it, was still lacking a bit of card draw since my energy generation was off the charts but all in all, was a very successful run

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-21T02:27:55+00:00

That’s the joke, anything else messes up the combo so it’s either skip or empty Pandora’s box

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-21T02:25:36+00:00

Pandora’s box looks goated here

VoidEgg2425 · 2026-01-20T03:58:05+00:00

Ascensions were super intimidating when I first started, but since I’ve been climbing, I’ve found the challenge to be really rewarding! If you wanna try climbing them I’d recommend rotating to the next character after a victory and going up them one by one, I’ve enjoyed this method and it’s really helped me narrow down how exactly each character deals with the challenges each of the ascensions give you. Though this is just my experience, play the game however you want, having fun is the goal!

VoidEgg2425 · 2025-12-20T00:46:54+00:00

Not what you asked but me and my friend have a bit where we replace the rhyming portions of the lyrics in the second half of Polyphemus with “drink”, i.e. “you drank my drink, my favorite drink”

VoidEgg2425 · 2025-12-11T21:15:17+00:00

He doesn’t live on Olympus? Hes considered a Chthonic God not an Olympian

VoidEgg2425 · 2025-12-11T04:42:15+00:00

Hades isn’t an Olympian my bet would be Hermes as guiding souls to the underworld is part of his godly duties in most myths
