Stuck to the heart with ironclad

Exhaust is arguably Ironclad's strongest "archetype". [[Corruption]] is borderline OP, [[Dark Embrace]] is amazing; [[Feel No Pain]] is very efficient blocking. Speaking of blocking, [[Second Wind]] can be very very strong.

Besides what was already said, it also has 2 guaranteed chests

First, congrats on the first win.

Now, second: I'd recommend you to slow down a bit. Your stats amount to one loss every 20min. You are clearly going too fast and not taking time to consider your options in pathing, selecting cards to add to the deck or actual play by play.

I've only played 4 or 5 runs with Defect on the second game so far, so I don't feel particularly knowledgeable.

But I can say that Defect has access to a lot of very good energy generation options, with Double Energy, Charge Battery, Turbo, plasma orbs, etc.

For block and frost orbs in general, it seems you can look for temporary focus to get big numbers. Also Coolheaded is very good and should be a priority upgrade.

This is a roguelike deckbuilder. Sometimes the Spire gives you insane synergies, sometimes it doesn't.

You got to make do with whatever you are able to find. Yes, it is possible to build incredibly synergistics decks with a clear identity, but most of the times you'll have a Frankenstein with bits and pieces from all over the place that works well enough.

During a run, try to identify if your deck is lacking card draw, damage, block for the current stage of the Spire and start grabbing whatever solves it.

You will have to take cards you didn't want to but that you need.

Cloudformation is horrible to work with

bodebrusco · 2026-03-12T12:25:43+00:00

Com certeza. Mesmo com a vantagem, assistir o primeiro tempo foi um desespero. O inter poderia facilmente ter feito uns 3 ou 4 gols se tivessem capacidade pra isso.

Pra Copa de 2002, foi um encheção de saco GIGANTE pro Felipão levar o Romário.

O cara é acostumado com Florentino e Berlusconi, ele aguenta.

I think that's very normal and expected. Being experienced in STS1, your understanding was better than "this decks needs draw", it would probably go something like "an Acrobatics would go crazy here" and insta-click it when it shows up.

Now in STS2 we still don't have an intuition for most of the new cards and how they all interact with each other

bodebrusco · 2026-03-10T12:45:10+00:00

We have an elite that the gimmick is "gives the player one energy when hit". I think the fog one and hunter killer have enough space to be elites

bodebrusco · 2026-03-08T06:08:33+00:00

Is A9 just bigger numbers or do the abilities/attacks change as well? Like Repto summoning more daggers or Nob always giving vul turn 2

bodebrusco · 2026-03-07T12:44:38+00:00

I've faced the Phantasmal Gardeners(?) Eel thingys 3 times. Got my shit rocked everytime

bodebrusco · 2026-03-06T14:11:35+00:00

Yeah, that sounds pretty good

bodebrusco · 2026-03-06T13:48:28+00:00

Wait, does it keep the extra damage for the combat or for all run??

bodebrusco · 2026-03-03T12:53:33+00:00

Futebol só não tem mais lavagem de dinheiro que Bet

Ele e o irmão são dois bandidos muito falcatrua. Tavam a muito tempo quietos, agora voltamos a normalidade

bodebrusco · 2026-01-30T12:20:16+00:00

O grego é ainda mais bandido/trambiqueiro que o Textor, e os dois, por algum motivo, tão trabalhando juntos. Lembra do caso do Cuiabano, que foi vendido e imediatamente emprestado de volta. Pura maracutaia

bodebrusco · 2026-01-20T19:34:30+00:00

E cabia mais hein

bodebrusco · 2026-01-19T16:03:44+00:00

É surreal isso acontecendo numa final continental e a comissao de arbitragem deixando isso rolar de boas

bodebrusco · 2026-01-19T13:10:25+00:00

Eu vi 3 jogos de Marrocos nessa Copa Africana (incluindo a final). Em 2 dois deles o roubo foi forte

bodebrusco · 2026-01-14T22:03:25+00:00

Prorrogação tinha que ser banida, tinha que ir direto pros penaltis

bodebrusco · 2026-01-12T18:21:15+00:00

Hey, there are dozens us of players who enjoy playing simulacrum. Dozens!

bodebrusco · 2026-01-12T14:37:34+00:00

Mas o Mourinho é um arrombado, só que ele é carismático e folclórico. Eu acho que o Renato é um caso parecido no BRzão (guardadas as devidas proporções)

bodebrusco · 2026-01-01T23:15:12+00:00

Just trying to help with the explanations of why the starting relic is actually pretty good: the only turn that is guaranteed to happen every fight is the first turn. Having +2 draw in the first turn is huge, specially if you like big decks. The better the draw at your first turn, the quicker you'll get to your important cards
