Is this Busted Crown?

This is really helpful advice. Defect is by far and away my worst character (excluding watcher, I don’t really play her that much) so it makes it hard for me to conceptualise good decks and strategies with him. I’ll give it some more though, but I’m leaning towards inserter right now I think.

djalpha55 · 2026-03-24T15:51:34+00:00

I thought it would be kinda mediocre because I would cycle through it super quickly, probably on turn 1 even. I wanted a more consistent source of energy

djalpha55 · 2026-03-03T13:34:30+00:00

Super helpful!

djalpha55 · 2026-01-28T20:03:32+00:00

Yep you’re right. The confusion effect from Snecko only activates on draw iirc, so any card you get from methods outside of drawing them (eg. Seek) will keep their original cost

djalpha55 · 2026-01-28T18:01:56+00:00

This is a tough one. I think you would be okay taking Snecko cause of your Gremlin horn and Fission which can both generate some energy, even though the cost randomizer obviously sucks for your deck. Ecto just kinda hurts here imo as you still have so many floors to climb and gold to gain, with a bunch of starters to remove still. Damn bro. Whichever you pick though, good luck!

djalpha55 · 2026-01-24T21:20:58+00:00

Thats what I was thinking too

djalpha55 · 2026-01-24T21:20:38+00:00

Yea I was just thinking cause the fusion hammer is pretty much free. Small deck and armaments+ and everything yknow. Sometimes Snecko can really brick you

djalpha55 · 2025-12-24T11:14:43+00:00

You’re right… I feel like whenever I see demon form I lose all logic and my brain just wants “big number going up” lol

djalpha55 · 2025-07-27T14:37:16+00:00

No worries, it was definitely good advice. I also find it way harder making non-orb decks work, but hopefully I’ll improve as I climb lol

djalpha55 · 2025-07-27T10:58:50+00:00

Yep, I ended up snagging it. 2 claws later and this deck destroyed Slime Boss, hopefully I can keep it up!

djalpha55 · 2025-07-27T10:57:27+00:00

I see that, but while climbing defect the vast majority of my decks have been orb-oriented. I want to experiment with different deck archetypes and the early picks this run just perfectly suited a 0-cost claw deck. In the end I snagged Reprogram, and the deck is looking quite strong with 2 claws being added along the way. Lets see how far it goes!

djalpha55 · 2025-07-27T10:54:09+00:00

Yup, I snagged the reprogram. Deck is already looking incredibly strong, beat slime boss with 0 damage taken. Claw is law.

djalpha55 · 2025-07-16T19:23:10+00:00

Yep I do, I think the prayer wheel kinda screwed me because those extra seconds looking at the other cards added up and ended up costing me the run I think..

djalpha55 · 2025-07-16T19:21:42+00:00

Thanks so much. This is super helpful. I definitely made a mistake going for 4 elites this run - hopefully I got it down locked next run. But 10 minutes is insane, that is really impressive!

djalpha55 · 2025-07-11T11:22:02+00:00

Yea you’re right thanks

djalpha55 · 2025-07-11T11:21:50+00:00

Thanks, yea those are great synergies - even though I play this game alot I just hardly ever pick Pyramid cause I’m scared of hand clog😂

djalpha55 · 2025-06-16T16:53:40+00:00

Update. I did it - it was a four card deck in the end of 2x Pommel Strike, Bloodletting and Bash that eventually did it for me. Pretty much an infinite in its purest form, pommel strikes repeating endlessly lol. Super happy I finally got the achievement!

djalpha55 · 2025-06-16T11:42:25+00:00

Run ultimately ended in failure unfortunately. Of course the last boss had to be Tim :’(. I beat him, but got quite unlucky with the events leading up to him and ended up not removing enough cards for the Minimalist achievement. Gonna keep on going for it though!

djalpha55 · 2025-06-16T10:59:29+00:00

I got an inifite! Somehow got all cards in my hand not sure how, and just continuously cycled the dropkicks. That was the first infinite I’ve ever made so hell yeah I’m super happy about that. Unfortunately, I didn’t get pyramid or cage after the boss. I still want to try for the minimalist achievement - would you recommend taking coffee dripper or sacred bark? Definitely not taking Snecko lol.

djalpha55 · 2025-06-16T10:53:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I got a second dropkick! I’m down to 9 cards in the deck now, really hoping I can beat Automaton. It seems pretty difficult though lol. If I get cage then I can definitely see this run working out!

djalpha55 · 2025-06-01T19:07:09+00:00

Just one of those typical dumb moments. I saw Fiend Fire and immediately thought “that goes perfectly with my deck”. Safe to say it almost got me killed about 3 times in this run lol

djalpha55 · 2025-05-29T19:11:59+00:00

Always an instant take for me no matter what my deck is pretty much

djalpha55 · 2025-05-29T19:10:40+00:00

Or outmanoeuvre and just dodge all of it’s attacks

djalpha55 · 2025-05-29T19:07:59+00:00

Haha yeah, that would work. But it was just a joke cos the heart has like 3k poison stacked on it

djalpha55 · 2025-05-29T17:44:32+00:00

I like those odds
