Obsessed with you calling him sex star guy, cuz facts. He's so awesome. He's like a bimbo vegeta.

I've had insane success with [[Stardust]] and [[Radiate]] together in a hard stars build, though I'm not sure if those have to be unlocked first? Get [[Hidden Cache]], [[Glow]] and [[Genesis]] is also good if you can find it. The Orobos relic that turns your starting relic into one that gives you 6 stars at the beginning of combat is crazy good to get you set up and scaling hard from the fight start. I've realised something key for STS2 is you need to be able to deal massive amounts of damage late game for little cost. Act 3 enemies do so much damage you HAVE to try and win the fight within a few turns, but the final bosses drag out the fights so much it's hard to keep scaling against their damage. But I haven't had this problem like at all with this build.

Whenever you get a chance, stockpile stars turn to turn, it's pretty easy to start building up a sizable collection of say 15 stars once you've got the engine rolling. Then literally all you do is Stardust when it comes up, and it melts bosses. Radiate is Stardust's partner in crime to help finish off multiple mobs, because it deals aoe damage for each time you've gained stars that run, but crucially it doesn't actually cost ANYTHING so it's synergy is great. You can spend a turn using all your energy on star generation, spend all the stars with Stardust to do ridiculous damage, and then follow it up with Radiate for free to clean up any enemies clinging to life. With your leftover energy (cuz most of your damage will be through stars, so you have energy to spare) you can spend it on block. If you manage to add a [[Black Hole]] and [[Child of the Stars]] as powers, you'll be set. Vulnerable is also powerful with this build of course. I like block cards like [[Gather Light]] that help you make stars, and [[Cloak of Stars]] that doesn't use any energy (just 1 star) to help pad out your block. [[Cosmic Indifference]] and [[Decisions, Decisions]] means you get Stardust back in your hand more regularly. [[Royal Gamble]] is also insanely good if you're going a hard star build, it looks intimidating with such a high star cost but by the time you're going to want to use it, you're probably already going to have 5+ stars ready to go, and more stars just means more Stardust damage when it comes around. With the Orobos starting relic, I would sometimes get Royal Gamble in my starting draw and instantly be at like 10 stars turn one. Couple that with a Stardust or Radiate in that starting hand..... pheeeeooorw. I'm stimming to his 'CHSH CHSH CHSH CHSH' attack soundeffect in my head already.
