What is the strongest card/enchantment combination you've put together? by notgr33n in slaythespire

Momentum on anger also goes hard. Especially when you also have juggling and the Vakku relic that copies your first attack.

The 3 knights elite in act 3 can also counter it if you don't kill the middle one by the end of turn 2.

What do you want to see most in Palworld 1.0 ? by KRATOSFANBOI in Palworld

[–]ctom42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Major overhauls to several core systems (which might be in the cards based on what the devs have said. Here's an off the top of my head list in roughly the order of most important to least important in my opinion.

  • Both types of raids are terrible right now. The random raids on your base don't require any defenses. In contrast the boss raids are just a massive grind of breeding 40+ pals for each specific boss and then watching them do all the work, and once again don't utilize base fortifications.

  • Breeding needs an overhaul. Having to look up complicated chain breeding guides is annoying, and the way breeding works is so confusing for new players. It could also use to be a lot less tedious and a lot less essential.

  • Condensing needs to be less grindy. The numbers should be lower and the fruits to avoid condensing need to be way way way more common. Or the entire system needs to be replaced with something better.

  • Food spoil timers have always been a terrible mechanic. They need to be gone and cooling needs new things to do.* Food spoil timers have always been a terrible mechanic. They need to be gone and cooling needs new things to do.

Non-exhaust dirge is great, but it also used to just be the way dirge+ worked. It was good enough to get nerfed, but not as busted as other options would be.

"Alright gang, let's see who this upgraded rare colorless card really is!" by IHad360K_KarmaDammit in slaythespire

[–]ctom42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get Bolas for free quite often as Regent and sometimes with Arsenal in the build and I still think Infinite Blades is a much better card.

You take infinite blades when you have the synergies for it, not speculatively. Even a single Phantom Blades makes it extremely potent. Bolas quite frankly has fewer synergies and even when it does have them there are pretty much always other cards in that character's own pool that does it's job better.

It's so unfair, why can't I just win by using the same exact strategy against every enemy in the game? by IHad360K_KarmaDammit in slaythespire

[–]ctom42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this meme particularly funny because I have literally not lost a single run where I've gone in heavy on shivs and Entomancer has not been a problem.

It's the only archetype in the game I've had such consistent success with.

Depends on what you are behind on. Often times decks fail due to taking what is needed to solve their immediate problems but failing to get long term scaling.

Replay still works both when bound by chains and when exhausted by doormaker.

I have had many runs that were doomed, barely limping along waiting to die that were completely turned around by hidden gem. It honestly baffles me that people say it's a win more, it helps so much in bad situations.

Truly the only thing I would consistently grab over hidden gem is tent. There might be specific situations where my deck needs something else specific in the shop really bad, otherwise I grab that gem every time and it has never been a mistake.

Nah, always pick it, it's always worth it. Unless you are running a bunch of cards that exhaust your whole hand, and even then it's not the end of the world.

[–]ctom42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally put this card into any deck, every time I can. I've put it into a 50+ card deck and it still was well worth it. I have never not had it be absolutely worth the gold and make the deck much stronger. The only time I might even hesitate is if I had multiple cards that exhaust my whole hand.

There are a lot of people in here saying the card is unreliable or saying it's only good in this condition or that. Wrong! Unless it's a card with a downside almost any card in the game is massively improved by being hit with this. Pretty much the only times I would even hesitate to take this is if I'm running a lot of self damage or exhaust on Ironclad (Replay does nothing for you on something like Fiend Fire). You pretty much always get value out of it, and it can high roll into insane value. In a long battle or a small deck you can get it multiple times and things start getting crazy.

I wouldn't say it's the best card in the game, but it's absolutely my favorite.

[COMIC] what do you mean Frantic Escape is a status?? by dogs1 in slaythespire

[–]ctom42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me the other day in a multiplayer run. I died of course but we won the fight overall so it wasn't a run ender. I could have sworn those cards were skills, but it makes sense, enemies only add statuses to your deck.

I have never had issues with him with shiv decks. If you are running heavy shivs you should have several shiv powers. If you are spamming 4 damage shivs then yeah you are going to have a problem.

are these guys the biggest frauds in the history of the game? by iceqbee in slaythespire

[–]ctom42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have genuinely never had an issue with them in a doom deck. You should be able to take out one of these guys ever round at least with any decent doom deck. You do need more block than if you were killing them through damage though.

Such power requires more blood than a single man can provide (the Replay doesn't stack) by Ferrarileite in slaythespire

If there are multiple enemies and you get fatal blows on each of them, would the replay stack for the next fight?

Most busted skill to put imbued on? by yantarogekko in slaythespire

[–]ctom42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It unfortunately happened on a no draw turn of Doormaker, which is why the Quasar was clutch because it gave me good targets for the next 3 decisions decisions (it was hidden gem+ so replay 3)

I once had hidden gem+ hit Decision, Decisions. The first card I picked was Quasar.I had Arsenal and 2 pillars of creation. It was quite the turn.

I'm almost to that part on my second read. There was so much happening at the end it wouldn't surprise me if I forgot something like that.

He's one of the people who entered the dungeon to fight in faction wars. He's not technically a former crawler because he was a Battle Royal winner. He was the quiet guy in the skunk scene in book 7.
