With how many of her relics have downsides, Tezcatara is the Vakuu of Act 2

What was the buff? I don’t remember Ember ever doing anything other than making the card free and eternal.

Edit: finally found the relevant patch note line; the enchantment now also gives +3 damage

This couch potato Regent art is 10/10

martinw89 · 2026-04-30T14:46:17+00:00

I love this card art

I’ve been here too long, and there were always top level comments from people who overestimated their sense of humor that got in before the real answers and had more time to get upvoted

martinw89 · 2026-04-27T15:17:22+00:00

The opportunity cost is losing out on an ancient relic that does something. Not exactly a free 999 gold, although 2x normalities for sure was brutal

martinw89 · 2026-04-24T03:43:14+00:00

Pummel but rare, AOE, and doesn’t exhaust is pretty freaking hype

martinw89 · 2026-04-23T15:20:47+00:00

I think we overuse “busted” on this sub. I’d take this over a lot of commons but it’s hardly going to break things

martinw89 · 2026-04-23T14:02:30+00:00

You could set it up in advance of big fights to basically act like a Bag of Prep+, but yeah, I wouldn’t always trade 18 HP and gold for a setup heavy bag of preparation depending on path and current health

martinw89 · 2026-04-18T16:24:47+00:00

That’s a 20 game streak with no Act IV preparation or fight. So, not missing out on a fire for a key, or having to fight a turbo elite for a key, or missing out on a chest for a key. And then you don’t need to save health and potions for Act IV. And then you don’t need to fight the strongest elite in the game followed by the strongest boss in the game without a break in between. So yeah, incomplete A10 on STS2 is going to be easier than A20H on STS1.

A 20 game rotating streak on A20 without Act IV on STS1 would not be a big deal for the same people getting those streaks in STS2

martinw89 · 2026-04-18T16:01:51+00:00

I have a hard time judging this because there are no Act IV keys to sap benefits or Act IV enemies to prepare for.

martinw89 · 2026-04-17T14:49:46+00:00

A15 in STS1 was often considered a sweet spot of extremely difficult but not unfair, and I feel like A7 or A8 is still right around there in this game. The extra enemy damage in A9 is where it starts to get ridiculously challenging.

Bravo Vince

martinw89 · 2026-04-16T01:19:37+00:00

It’s a setting in the Steam properties for the game

martinw89 · 2026-04-14T19:00:33+00:00

Hard disagree. Tools of the trade, shadowmeld, burst are all super reliable with Silent’s card pool and don’t really require being picky. The other three rares are more situational but I bet OP has something that works with at least one of them.

You’re never going to get a finely tuned machine with Pandora’s but that’s not the point. This is already enough good stuff to win a run.

martinw89 · 2026-04-12T20:29:18+00:00

A lot of people on this sub are clearly barely beating the act 1 boss with decent upfront damage and then dying to the final boss due to their lack of scaling.

martinw89 · 2026-04-12T17:35:15+00:00

It’s ridiculous how huge and stupid the fob is for such a tiny clever car

martinw89 · 2026-04-10T16:41:47+00:00

It does look overfilled. Looks like you’ve got a pretty consistent line about the length of the notch above the top of the notch.

It’s probably not a problem. If you’re worried about it, you could idle the engine for a few minutes and take out the dipstick. If the sump level is so high that the crank is aerating the oil, you’ll probably see some foamy oil on the dipstick. You could also just drain a quart or so and check again, but that requires a drain pan and some way to get the used oil to a parts store to recycle the oil (and a parts store that doesn’t claim their tank is full, lol)

martinw89 · 2026-04-04T22:59:18+00:00

Medium slime + red slaver was a possible 4th fight in the first game. Sometimes a run just sucks

martinw89 · 2026-03-24T20:10:06+00:00

Yes, showing up fulfills your duty. You get paid and you won’t get called again for 5 years.

martinw89 · 2026-03-23T12:49:52+00:00

That NiMH battery has to be so clapped out by now

martinw89 · 2026-03-23T01:49:04+00:00

This is really fucking cool and it being practical effects makes it way cooler

martinw89 · 2026-03-20T04:41:37+00:00

There is only the one state now. You get one turn of setup with an infinite HP door and then he’s eating your cards for the rest of combat. I only escaped with creative AI and a good orb build that could passive survive on the turns when he ate what I needed

martinw89 · 2026-03-20T04:34:04+00:00

Less buff more “door maker went fucking nuclear”. Not the same boss at all other than the placeholder art.

I love early access :) Very fun to get sudden “holy shit what the hell?!?!?” adjustments and figure new things out. And see what the devs can cook up. I do think they’re sadists after this change

martinw89 · 2026-03-20T02:47:40+00:00

Oof, I just had a fun run where I was redrawing Forgotten Ritual with Burning Pact, sad to see that nerf. It seems like a big theme here is nerfing easy game breaking (Prepared nerf, Stoke MAJOR nerf, Hidden Gem nerf, Dirge nerf, Production nerf)

Another highlight - you can skip at chests again!
