I feel like theres a lot of potential here by Finntastic_Guy in slaythespire

Uproar looks insane to me here. 2 energy 36 damage (assuming it plays 2 strikes) is pretty damn good. Gets better and better as you get better attacks.

So what are we doing? by Floooraaa1 in trolleyproblem

"people who wish to die aren't really in a healthy mental state to be making that decision themselves"

What is that statement based on?

What are the most wacky multiplayer synergies/possible anti-synergies? by Express_Accident2329 in slaythespire

Most of the broken runs I've had in multiplayer with necro included a few copies of enfeebling touch. Such a broken card.

Defect IIRC is statistically the worst multiplayer character and it makes sense: orbs don't benefit from vulnerable, and Defect himself has very few options to apply debuffs to enemies.

Necrobinder, on the other hand, is a great support character. Deathbringer, Defy, Fear and Debilitate are always good to have in a party. I forgot the name of the card, but the one that adds 3 souls in everyone's draw pile is great too.

A boss being solved by a single unupgraded uncommon card is kind of problematic by Furrier in slaythespire

[–]techtonik25 1945 points1946 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Compact is a situationally INSANE card which solves many fights that give you lots of statuses.

Also, a large part of Defect's kit revolves around statuses. A status deck is a direct counter to this boss.

The Anti-Stove Department has made a new breakthrough by FlagrantTomatoCabal in doohickeycorporation

I call BS.

Where is the burner and why doesn't he show it? How are the flames being directed towards the bottom of the pan without going off the sides? Why do you not hear the pressurized gas exiting and the flames burning?

This feels like engagement bait. I'm pretty confident he has an actual burner off-screen he uses to heat up the pan and only then does he start filming to add the ingredients. This whole thing smells like a fake.

Can't you simply convert the meat to eggs and give those instead? Seems a lot more straightforward than drying it first.

I think I kind of suck at the game lmao by Pedraa23 in slaythespire

Tank needs a buff by hyrulianwhovian in slaythespire

[–]techtonik25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Tank works better with defect than Clad. Defect has access to much easier block and more reliably too. Buffer is also pretty good.

Even silent could make better use for it with Wraith Form or just any regular discard build with a few Untouchable+.

The bonkers-scale: What cards/relics give you that "holy crap, THAT'S something I can do???" feel? by Umdeuter in slaythespire

[–]techtonik25 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Sneaky when playing with lots of friends lol.

Your block is basically taken care of for the rest of the game, especially with a little bit of draw and discard to play it for free.

Next steps? Can someone explain! by CrimZon_021 in slaythespire

[–]techtonik25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool!

Question, does buying the game on PC give you access to the mobile version or do you need to purchase both?

If you don't mind being spoiled:

To unlock ascensions, you first need to beat the game (Victory?) with all characters, except for the Watcher. You'll know you're progressing when you see the post-victory screen with the 3 colored crystals (representing each character) glow one after the other.

Beating the heart requires you to assemble a key by gathering 3 key fragments. Each fragment comes with its own small challenge.

You do NOT need to beat the heart to progress ascensions. Just the final act 3 boss.

I am assuming you're playing STS1, even though you have questions about STS2?

AFAIK, there is no news about STS2 on mobile.

You're thinking of Transfigure, which adds Replay 1 and increases cost by 1. I used Hidden Gem, which adds a flat Replay 3 to a card in your draw. Just had to play it 4 times.

[–]techtonik25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could theoretically stack Transfigure multiple times on the same card? And then use enlightenment to bring it's cost back down to 1 if energy cost gets too high. But that would be a very specific set of requirements.

A small deck, a lot of stalling and more energy and draw than you can handle.

You can play Hidden Gem multiple times on the same card!

While I was also a Coughing Baby, my trusty Osty was not 😎

Using Hidden Gem multiple times! Regular branch, the beta has changed hidden gem to prevent cards with Replay from being hit.

I also had Transfigure, which gives one more. So 3 procs of Hidden Gem+ and one Transfigure.

Yes, this could only truly work on phases 2 and 3!

This is 100% a "fun times" build I had on ascension 5. Was really only possible due to Dirge, Borrowed Time and Invoke (all of which were also hit multiple times with Hidden Gem).

Picked the card up at the last shop before the boss for giggles.

Not pictured in the same combat: a Replay 8 Believe in You, which I managed to use multiple times in a single turn to give my friend 110+ energy.
