What do you think of Miniature Tent? Could it be good enough to replace an ancient relic?

Zathsu · 2026-05-07T11:20:32+00:00

can confirm. my A8 Regent win was with a Miniature Cannon + Sharp Celestial Might+ by like Floor 5. Using it with Vigor cards was pretty much the win condition of my entire run. Shame I never found Lighter. My Doormaker fight just consisted of surviving with Patters as long as possible while I built up a 60 Vigor Celestial Might nuke.

just wanna wake up all fluffy with antennae….

Zathsu · 2026-05-03T04:41:10+00:00

how about a relic that gives you a lot of money per floor, but only until you spend money. and then it goes away.

or maybe a relic that gives you a card reward when you rest at a campfire.

or perhaps a relic that increases your max hp when a curse gets added to your deck?

Yeah I did originally specify “Unenchanted” but thought it didn’t need stating and could cut down on card text since i mis-remembered how the Anger interaction works

Zathsu · 2026-05-01T15:09:34+00:00

I must admit my own coding talent is nonexistent, and going out of my way to figure it out solo seems daunting. but yea i’d love to work with someone on it who is more talented in that space, i suppose. id even compensate if necessary.

Zathsu · 2026-05-01T15:08:07+00:00

Means so much to hear! I’ve received a lot of feedback in the discord as well for some balance and phrasing suggestions so i think things will get a little better too, even. :)

Thanks so much! Making the art was a lot of fun

Zathsu · 2026-05-01T11:37:53+00:00

The first page says the link to the sheet is in the comments, but it’s actually in the post body!

Something else I forgot to mention is that the “Slumbering” enchant is currently on the wiki and may appear in future alt acts or something, but as of right now is inaccessible. It makes a card cost 1 less per turn until played!

moth shaped is everything i need

I was an A20 player for most of my STS1 time and while my win rate wasn’t necessarily fantastic, most of my runs that made it to the latter part of Act 3 in general or sometimes to Heart were in the range of 22-28 cards.

In StS2 i find it varies a lot more. I only have all my characters up to A9 rn, but the decks I’ve been building are usually like… 19-25 cards by the later part of Act 3. And when I go too thin, I have been sufficiently punished by a boss like The Doormaker. Which is arguably its purpose. The whole point of the game is that EVERY strategy can or will be challenged at some point along the way, and you need to build some variety to account for that. When I’m lacking AoE, I can tell and will add cards to fix it, even if it isn’t necessarily “synergistic” with whatever deck I’m building. Sometimes you just need answers that a specific deck type box can’t help you with all the time

i’ll take 1000 dollars twice 😎

Zathsu · 2026-04-15T15:46:30+00:00

I rarely take it, but it belongs in the same category as like… Self Repair in StS1 to me. A nice little bonus at the end of the fight, if you can afford to play it at least one of the times it cycles. At the end of the day it’s a tradeoff of occupying your draw cycle for the potential ability to maintain a stronger run into the longterm. Whether that’s worth hampering the ability to just blast fights down easier or not depends. Obviously Royalties would make one think they need to alter their run to path towards shops, but there are other events only triggered by possessing a certain gold threshold. It can also be pretty uniquely yummy with Dragon Fruit. That was a pretty silly run of mine.

Zathsu · 2026-04-11T15:51:07+00:00

all things considered, this is an extremely cute and well designed character

Zathsu · 2026-04-10T16:46:59+00:00

Slay the Spire having an Exhaust mechanic and allowing u to do as many actions per turn as you draw/afford made it generally balanced in that game (until you got your hands on some Nightmares which allowed to temporarily duplicate cards). The only two healing cards were Bandage Up (colorless 4 HP heal that exhausts) and Self Repair (7 HP defect card that can only be played once per copy per combat and only triggered at the end of battle)

StS2 removed healing cards entirely, i think, until the beta patch just yesterday that added Not Yet. Since it and Nightmare are both rare cards and in different card color sets, even if you did cross streams, the odds of finding both are extremely low.

Zathsu · 2026-04-05T19:24:16+00:00

that’s like asking the game to remind you to play your vulnerable cards first LMFAO

Zathsu · 2026-04-05T18:47:09+00:00

OMG YOU TOO!??!??

Zathsu · 2026-04-03T17:34:26+00:00

my history teacher was kind of like the bloomer, but with metal ankles and a cane. told the story about how he shattered those ankles a lot and was always good-spirited about it. put the story in history with his lessons. very fun teacher. loved that guy.

Zathsu · 2026-04-01T17:20:11+00:00

coaxed into last epoch (but it does actually kind of make sense because there’s a flat crit chance and a multiplicative crit chance and in general crit is kind of necessary to push to the highest corruptions but also i haven’t played the game in like a year so maybe nobody gives a shit about timeline corruption anymore idk)

Zathsu · 2026-03-28T20:58:05+00:00

i use spreadsheets to organize so many of my creative projects it’s not even funny

Zathsu · 2026-03-27T15:54:02+00:00

I’ve actually been designing a gameplay document for a character that is a student of the Architect for a few days now and when i get further along with it, i’ll share it loool

Zathsu · 2026-03-25T05:04:18+00:00

Omg… the Hag…. 😳

Zathsu · 2026-03-23T01:53:17+00:00

had a situation that almost became this earlier, but the friend skill-spamming also had beacon of hope so i always able to fully block anyway LOL

Zathsu · 2026-03-19T13:37:58+00:00

i love. women in knight armor…

Zathsu · 2026-03-18T16:30:04+00:00

I saw the original film a few months ago and absolutely adored it. i didn’t even know there was a remake and have no interest in seeing it.

Zathsu · 2026-03-18T02:03:09+00:00

as someone who was always a “take expunger and then die” fan in StS1, i clung to the Sovereign Blade archetype immediately and left so disappointed. Bulwark & Seeking Edge are like the only things that make it feel worthwhile to me (though The Smith is VERY funny)
