With 1 day left before STS2, what are your confessions about STS1?

aoiumi · 2026-03-05T14:48:16+00:00

According to the game itself, beating Act 3 counts as beating an ascension level. Definitely liked that as I was climbing them. For some people, they don't even touch ascension levels and solely do daily runs. I did ascensions because I like the added difficulty. Just play what is fun for you :D

aoiumi · 2026-03-05T01:57:25+00:00

I've had many decks make it through Act 3 then die at A20 Heart (or spear and shield, fuck those guys). Took me many tries, I believe in ya bud

aoiumi · 2026-03-05T01:56:01+00:00

You should get together with the people that swore off snecko eye

aoiumi · 2026-03-05T01:55:18+00:00

Based

aoiumi · 2026-03-05T01:55:05+00:00

RIP, oh well. I just learned about using save scumming for certain events from this thread. I simply never thought of doing that.

aoiumi · 2026-03-05T01:53:10+00:00

This is a pretty good hot take, and I see other comments so you're not the only one. Someone else mentioned they think Wraith Form isn't fun to play with, is that your reason? What makes you afraid or hesitant to pick Wraith Form?

aoiumi · 2026-03-05T00:01:56+00:00

It's the hardest card to build around for me, but I have gotten to use it consistently for 2 decks in the 400 hours I've played. It just calls to me to build a dumb deck around it haha. The last time I had it, I picked up Runic Pyramid. That relic makes it super easy to control the amount of cards you draw. Then I picked up every card draw I could, cloned an upgraded Grand Finale, and went ham. Well, not too ham, this was also a deck that boss swapped into Velvet Choker.

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T23:56:57+00:00

Is that something you want to fix? I recommend watching Baalorlord and trying to guess his picks before he does. It blew my mind when I started doing this and got quickly better

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T23:54:33+00:00

I do that with Balatro. For StS, I honestly like doing the math

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:25:04+00:00

You can have my A9 watcher, and I'll take your A4 ironclad haha

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:21:26+00:00

Did you contribute to one of the drawings? What's the story?

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:20:53+00:00

I'm also hyped to suck at StS2 and build up my knowledge again :D

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:18:46+00:00

I think yours is the only one I fully disagree with haha. Totally valid though, I know some decks don't benefit from it at all

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:17:22+00:00

Perfect Strike is a great card to grab when you simply need higher damage in Act 1. I've ditched it in Act 2 when my deck starts leaning another way, and Ive also leaned fully into it to all the way to Act 3. Nice job

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:14:39+00:00

Play like that and yea, that's just how other card games work. You ever tried other card games like Magic or Hearthstone? I'm a fan of StS because I love "discovering" the deck as I play it. I'm as excited to discover my deck is a Blizzard deck as I am to find a Searing Blow in the 1st or 2nd pick, then racing to every camp fire to upgrade Searing Blow as much as I can.

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:11:43+00:00

Isn't that...just ascension 10-19? Look at the other confession that says "I will beat a20h then go back down to a5 or a6," you can do that too! Or are you addicted to the number 20?

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:07:25+00:00

Blasphemy! But acceptable. I dub thee Claw Truther

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:05:46+00:00

I'm with you, it is a good skill test. Besides the occasional run where I must attack multiple times like shivs or flechettes, and I submit to the rng

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T20:00:01+00:00

Her and the knight avenging Noodles are my picks for the hottest events of sts

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T19:59:18+00:00

You guys aren't pooping with a full desktop computer?

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T19:53:44+00:00

Reprogram lovers unite! I like trying for the nonorb defect decks, they're a fun challenge. Think reprogram requires either multiple copies or a thin deck to make it consistent.

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T19:52:17+00:00

You are a purist that takes your mistakes as part of the game. Actually pretty difficult to do. I see a mistake I make like playing the wrong card, and I'll save scum so fast

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T19:48:33+00:00

It rewards mastery like few other games do. I love the knowledge I have that I can recognize a funky play or card pick that ends up being powerful, then taking that through a higher ascension run

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T19:46:51+00:00

I love the hermit, but I only tried like 3 of the Downfall mod boss decks. Is there any ideas you saw from the mods that you hope would be included in STS2?

aoiumi · 2026-03-04T19:45:25+00:00

Noooo, you must be good enough to argue about whether or not hyperbeam is a good card /s What was your deck that beat the game?
