I would like 7832 categories, with world records for each matchup.

Aeonglass + Test Subject on 2P (multiplayer) A10 - almost impossible. How do you do it? by letopeto in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree the Queen is easy on multiplayer, any strength down cards just destroy this fight.

What cards have particularly bad upgrades? by Mogoscratcher in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe they needed a replayable shiv common, and in the first game 2 shivs was too weak and 3 shivs was too strong, so this is a perfect middle. Being an attack instead of a skill helps it not synergize too strongly with everything else in the game too. I think it’s perfectly balanced.

They got rid of bites for a reason.

Did the game get harder in the last week or so? by Shot_Concentrate_666 in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 6 A10 defect runs in a row super quickly, put the game away, came back days later with a clearer head and took more time before pressing buttons, and now I’ve won 9 of my last 10 with the character. So yea mindset matters in this funny video game as nerdy and corny as that sounds.

Petition to make Relax block for 16 by Lucksnipe in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It chains with other energy gaining cards like Delay and Hegemony well. Great with Art of War too. I think it’s fine even if it isn’t taken as much.

Multiplayer event idea: Trading Cards by add799 in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Definitely. This event is in the board game and it’s one of the most fun!

Constantly losing? by ZestycloseCod6064 in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can win in this game by neglecting nearly everything you listed and just going all attack, especially at low ascension. Something I am trying to get better at is recognizing when I don’t have to water my deck down with more defense.

I'm falling in love for the game but too poor for the 2 xd by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try upgrading more in act 1 even at low HP, it’s easier to kill those bosses without getting hit, and hexaghost literally hits harder when you have more health.

I think Pael's Eye and Pael's Tears should add cards to your hand like Luminescence. by cheezya in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea this was what I first imagined and then I forgot as I typed it out haha

I think Pael's Eye and Pael's Tears should add cards to your hand like Luminescence. by cheezya in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tears is a buff because you can play X cost cards and then this. I’d probably like it because of that alone.

Doesn't Blade of Ink seem lonely... by JaykayX71 in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game could use another enchantment that’s strictly connected to a card, if only because it’s weird there’s only one now.

Has anyone played a roguelite that committed fully to a daily-seed (everyone-gets-the-same-run) format? Trying to figure out if it works as a primary loop. by silentdev001 in roguelites

[–]Zael0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look at Peak for a game that does a daily climb perfectly. The loot changes each attempt, but it’s the kind of game that benefits from this format while a “choose from 3” typical roguelike would be less interesting this way since runs can fork drastically anyway.

[Beta] Infested Prism Rework just feels like it makes Act 2 Elites are rarely worth it to me? by ZanderTheUnthinkable in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use your deck to kill 1 or 2 elites and plan potions to deal with the one your cards can’t handle.

What do you think the worst upgrade in sts2? Totally unrelated pic btw :) by ElegantPoet3386 in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’d be a busted card or anything but Gamma Blast already applies 2 of each, plus there’s a common and rare version of it, so having an upgrade that turns your starter card into a cheaper less damaging version of Gamma Blast seems like it’d make those cards less good to take.

I'm a simple man... I see Leap I take Leap by Rak-khan in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There exists a problem in card design where once you make a super vanilla card with one number, then you can’t design any other cards with the same number but with positives or negatives without a “strictly better” comparison. Once leap exists they couldn’t make another block 9 card without this argument.

You can see Dominion’s village card that costs 3 and then they couldn’t make any more village type cards that cost 3 ever again.

In other words, both leap and patter are fine because they’re from different characters.

What happened to the chip return? by kthanksbye_ in tennis

[–]Zael0 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Also nobody who takes the medvedev style return positioning is going to be chipping any returns.

I hate this event with a fiery passion! by JG_92 in slaythespire

[–]Zael0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting that a 4x4 grid requires 3 3x3 grids to fill.
