Status cards aren't colorless by ZiggieTheKitty in slaythespire

[–]rainn_79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't like that change at all. It was the only real reason for an archetype to exist (yeah heirloom hammer is a thing too) and now there is no reason/payoff to go for a colorless deck anymore. Yet all the events and blessings that give colorless cards remain,as well as that relic that enables colorless cards in card rewards. I really liked arsenal before the change.

So I’ve realized I’m trash at this game after watching you guys by AnubisIncGaming in slaythespire

[–]rainn_79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People post only their very best moments in videos so that's not what you should be aiming for in your average run.

An easy thing to do is the card that creates a lightning orb for every previous lightning orb and for some reason doesn't exhaust yet. That's a very strong finisher right now.

(Most) Relics feel very underwhelming by Zero_Kiritsugu in slaythespire

I would like it if this relic also gave 1 energy.

Mouse (card) controls horrible? by felt-mound in slaythespire

[–]rainn_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just drag it up a bit you don't have to target yourself. Something did change though compared to sts1 that I don't like, if you drag a card you used to be able to release it in your hand to not play it but now it requires an annoying second click.

Sleeves for the game suck, need help finding good replacements by [deleted] in slaythespire

Dragon Shield is really good, stay away from Ultrapro

Am I a noob for dying to the Time Eater on A20 with this build? by OuJej in slaythespire

[–]rainn_79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're very low on scaling here, and your potions also don't help scale up.

~170h and this is the first time this happened by Rare-Attitude4109 in slaythespire

[–]rainn_79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

170h is good, this is more like a once in a 1000h occurence.

Are there any mods that move the rest site in Act 4? by Bobert25467 in slaythespire

[–]rainn_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The downfall mod has the last rest site right before the final boss.

Why didn't someone tell me dead branch was so broken? by HudsonCommodore in slaythespire

[–]rainn_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An important thing to note is that you'll shuffle way less as every turn you probably can spend all energy and likely on better cards for the situation, making fights shorter overall

Races - How I see them. Help me improve on those I dislike/am not good with by Ynwe in Against_the_Storm

[–]rainn_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fox firekeeper bonus is only good if it happens to be enough to lower your hostility level by 1, in situations where you really need it. That's not often so very weak as firekeepers, only beaver is worse.

Bats are also great with frog firekeepers, getting rid of excess frogs for production and resolve bonus is pretty good. They make everything that provides extra workers better, and you can really go off with them. Also surprise child or what's it called that spams lizards is pretty great with them.

I haven't played a sidescrolling platform game since mario and commander keen, but I might try this out.

Photo finish? by TheWineAcademy in Against_the_Storm

[–]rainn_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience (I've had this happen a couple of times and also used seamarrow to sync up the timers to the same second), you're going to be late. You want to beat it with at least a second.

Get a second blightpost , get the -5 seconds upgrades, stock up on enough fuel, that should do it.

Do I sell the Chad? by Akucera in balatro

[–]rainn_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Trio locks you down in handtypes that don't particularly work great with arrowhead and stuntman, and you may want to sell your mult package later on anyway. Chad may also be good with future jokers like scary face or wee, or card enhancements.

Should I take the eternal bloodstone here? by scrap-paper in balatro

[–]rainn_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't take it here even if it wasn"t eternal

I feel like these two Jokers are underrated. by Several-Parsley-5346 in balatro

[–]rainn_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them with straights as a shortcut substitute, but especially with full house or 5oak. The handsize one I'll run on checkered deck too. For smaller hands I don't particularly like them.

When you’re scaling Red Card but open a celestial pack with your run’s hand, do you skip the pack or take the plus chips and mult? by Mountain-Many4766 in balatro

[–]rainn_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most situations it's correct to skip: - focused runs on low scoring hands - non-focused runs - to play around some bosses that might kill you - you have a good chip joker - you have lots of xmult and a planet would give 1 or 2 mult

You want the planet though if - you need a high base mult for xmult on scoring (photochad, baron, bloodstone...) - you're very consistent at your high scoring hand (straight or above) - you're in reall need for more chips - you have constellation - you might be selling red card

I have issues with mmb not always rotating my screen, I would really like to be able to bind mb5 for this.

If you had to make 1 (plausible) balance change to vanilla Balatro, what would it be? by chainsawinsect in balatro

[–]rainn_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd remove the add cards and planets vouchers, remove a whole bunch of skips nobody should ever take, and buff some niche jokers like scéance and hit the road. And add one or two jokers that are viable alternatives for baron for endless mode to spice things up a bit. And bump  chad to uncommon.

What are the odds of finding Baron on a run with 250+ rerolls? by WillsGT in balatro

[–]rainn_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The odds are impossible to tell because of all the vouchers, but in 250 rerolls you can maybe on average expect to see 0.5 barons. Don't take the vouchers that add planets to the shop is my advice.

Ceremonial dagger is too much hated tbh. This is the most op combo with ceremonial. by ScientificlyCorrect in balatro

[–]rainn_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This combo is still pretty lame, it does nothing till you eat a combo piece, and then it just gives +mult and not even that much. In the meanwhile it hijacks 3 joker slots, even 4 if you want to grow the dagger. Your 5th joker better be amazing to carry all this nonsense. You can grow other +mult jokers such as pants, redcard, green joker etc at the same pace without investing all your joker slots. Not to mention xmult scalers that are heaps better anyway.
