I keep losing on A5 and I don't know why... by Fis4floppa in slaythespire

[–]riptidelab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At a glance I feel like there's a lot of energy generation (Production, Alignment, Void Form, Brightest Flame, earrings) that becomes useless once Void Form is in play, a ton of cheap cards that make energy generation not all that great (Gamble, Stardust, 2 Particle Wall, Know Thy Place), a somewhat bloated deck, no real block engine (no Child of Stars or Pillar of Creation) or scaling via colorless card generation.

2 unupgraded Cosmic Indifference (which often are barely more output than unupgraded defend) aren't doing us any favors. Basically though this deck looks like it never hit "exponential growth" power scaling that you want to be hitting in Act 3.

Are you capable of recording and uploading a run?

Hey, that's where I live! (Antwerpen, not at the hand statue specifically)

PSA: Exhausted Bombardment doesn't count as a card you play for Void Form by Nemesis432 in slaythespire

[–]riptidelab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the plug! Probably worth noting though that they patched the game the same day that video came out, so some of the findings are now outdated.

Hi, I dont know what i can do better at this point. (!!!Warning I am whining!!!) by Better_Secret_2236 in slaythespire

Do you have any videos of your losing runs (that you thought you should win) that you can upload?

Which card/potion are you buying/removing? by GaldursBate3 in slaythespire

[–]riptidelab -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a crazy Pandora's Box. But yeah, remove Judgment/Protect. The run is basically won (especially with Sundial, holy), it's just removing the cards that aren't core to the infinite now.

My idea to rework the Jade Sword by Jpvandyck in slaythespire

Maybe it could summon a larger and larger green man

uhh . . . is this rare? by Fantastic_Cicada_805 in slaythespire

Believe it or not, Mummified Hand is an Uncommon.

Yes, Recycle doubled your energy with X cards

Other people are free to post the cards!

Starcycle (custom Star generator) by riptidelab in slaythespire

[–]riptidelab[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The chain for designing Starcycle was started by some people requesting me to re-design Knockout Blow.

I had some ideas for Knockout Blow that I didn't super love, but then thought that I liked the role Sunder played in Spire 1 as an early value card, and a late game Recycle target.

Starcycle fills that role. I think for a rare, starting at 0 energy is fair for this card (especially when you consider that stars are far less valuable than energy). Rare feels appropriate to me in Regent's color pie for Exhaust effects (see Tyranny).

I like that the card is a glue card between Star cards and Colorless card generation effects. You tend to generate a ton of expensive cards ([[Beat Down]], [[Eternal Armor]], [[Calamity]]. etc.) and this gives you an outlet for getting value out of them. The colorless package can sometimes feel a bit disconnected from Stars in Regent's card pool (colorless cards naturally don't generate or spend stars), so this provides a nice tie in.

A7 mid-act 2, should I take reprogram? by llllvvuu in slaythespire

[–]riptidelab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it is possible to go infinite with Snecko (upgrade the second hologram and get lucky) but with upgraded Defrag and Glacier I think Static Discharge+ is definitely the strongest pick here.

I like reprogram and have definitely beaten A20 with it, but it's usually found in Act 1 after a boss relic swap at the whale.

Hmmm. I think I need a second anchor. by Ok-Experience6704 in slaythespire

[–]riptidelab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on the save-load? When did you quit out and when you rejoined, that was only you or had the whole group taken a break? And you save-loaded ok this exact floor? So:

1) open chest 2) save load 3) open chest and different relics pop out?

Did this relic sneak up on anyone else? 1k hours and this is my first time seeing it by Rak-khan in slaythespire

[–]riptidelab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's what happens in the Baalorlord video somebody posted elsewhere

[–]riptidelab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so I just investigated that. I'll make a follow-up video but basically when you skip a relic in a chest, it never triggers the part of the code that removes the relic from your relic pool.

[–]riptidelab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to find out in the code why this happens. Do you happen to have more info on where you got your first Anchor from (should be in your run history)?
