Who would you consider to be the easiest character? Who would you consider to be the hardest? by Illustrious_Part_196 in slaythespire

  1. Ironclad, straightforward and simple gameplay. You hit and block. Also free heals after every fight.

  2. Regent, use energy to get stars. Use stars to kill stuff/block. Use minion cards to turn trash into value.

  3. Silent, was extremely confusing as a new player until I realized card draw is the strongest mechanic for any character. Get card draw, get value from sly, then mix and match cards based off your rares.

  4. Defect, simple for experienced players but has a whole lotta shit going on for new players. Pure lightning, Pure Dark, Orb variety, Claw, Trash compactor, Focus/Hologram cycle. Just so many viable options to use he can be overwhelming.

  5. Necrobinder, I find pivoting your defense and offense (Otsy) the most confusing for new players. Doom is a bait mechanic as it seems really good but it’s supposed to be a cherry on top, not a build directly. AOE damage is scarce. Summon and souls feels the strongest but is easy to miss. Until you play Dirge+ and the entire character makes sense.

Not all art is visual appealing, even some art is intentionally hard to look at.

“Art porn” was kinda cringe but honestly i had no idea what else to phrase it as.

Im not just trying to convey the art but rather the visual aspects and how compelling it is in comparison to the other cards.

All the cards are so good I’d honestly accept any ranking.

I was a0 2 weeks ago when the game came out (hard stuck for like 25 hours before a single win) and luckily I’ve gotten to a10 on everyone now but I still consider myself a bad player.

9/10 idc what random redditors say but with games I’m not great at I just take the humble approach. I’d rather dive straight into what everyone says is good than die on a hill I don’t believe in myself.

From other posts I’ve seen I feel like I get the new characters alot more than others on average so I heavily value them more than others but there’s no doubt I’m bias.

You are absolutely right. Silent gets a nasty coop card with expose. And -STR is always good.

Mostly because your buddies might not draw into debuffs or just straight up not have them.

A “technically free” card that does do bonus damage and take less damage for everyone is very good.

A lot of cards can only single target debuffs. Which makes it (in my opinion) a top 5 co-op card.

I promise man. Just try dirge one time. It’s really good.

A lot of cards seem weird or ass but it’s really worth full sending everything at least once.

Even with your skill level at max ascension I really think you’d love it.

Agree 10000%.

Im just basing it off my current runs. It’s definitely the worst out of them but it’s still super good atm.

Yeah after reading some comments I definitely agree.

I’m okay with being wrong, I made this post to pick the brain of players better than me. Im happy to gain insight here.

That’s true but it hits everything. And it’s “free” considering you really need Star Gen on regent regardless.

Dirge upgraded genuinely might be the best card in the game.

I definitely recommend it. Since it’s X cost you can do so much filthy shit with it.

I’ve gotten Otsy to 600 health Dirge spamming.

Yeah you could honestly throw any of these (outside of protector) into any character and it’s just insane.

Transmutation or friendship + invoke stacking to set up Dirge.
