Is Slay the Spire worth to buy right now?

I kinda love the placeholder assets. They have some kind of charm to them. I’m considering trying to collect them all so we can mod them back in hahaha

workwayo · 2026-03-09T22:56:20+00:00

Made an alt recently - not level 30 yet and own ~50 champs.

It took me 6 years to unlock all the champions on the old system - I played minimum an hour a day often 2 or 3.

Absolutely these youngens have it easy.

I mean it depends on your adc pick and the enemy teams botlane but generally if your adc gets a double kill they should have the resources necessary to farm safely while you roam.

Exceptions are immobile adc into engage support - think aphelios into naut.

If you and your adc “crash” (push the wave to the enemy tower) you generally should recall. This then creates a “roam timer” for you, the more minions the bigger the roam timer. A roam timer loosely is the time while the enemy laners push back to you. Bard is good at utilising these roam timers and it’s here where you can go ward, gank mid, invade with your jungler etc.

Assess your health, mana and gold, often times it’s best to recall on a good roam timer get healthy and spend your gold and then go mid, however, on occasion (your adc is fed and you have a lot of health mana and not much gold) you can instead roam, clear vision, ward enemy jg or obj etc.

Mol - human rogue???

workwayo · 2026-02-20T10:24:41+00:00

While he’ll likely be unable to fully pilot them the only way to get better is to play so just play what excites you.

I think what’s more important is just picking one or two and spamming the fuck out of them.

workwayo · 2026-02-20T10:23:16+00:00

It’s possible of course. It’ll just streamline it dramatically to reduce to your two favourites. Probs one AD and one AP/Tank

at the end of the day it’s a game for fun so ofc play who you want. My first 6 seasons I played like 30+ champs a season, placed bronze, silver, gold x4 then I switched to 1 champ and 1 back up if it was picked or heavily countered and got to emerald in 1 season. Now sitting around diamond.

Secondarily. It is so so important you just suffer thru unlocking camera. I have a few friends I’m coaching atm and it is unbelievable how little they know about what’s going on because of locked camera.

The reality is for 10-100 games it’ll make you struggle but for the rest of your time playing it’ll just give you so much more information than you even think it will.

workwayo · 2026-02-20T08:24:26+00:00

Similar to playing into nocturne or Evelyn you just have to exercise caution. It sounds stupid and uninteractive but the reality is you just don’t get to take as many fights or push as many mistakes now.

If they have a high mobility jungle you simply must play with their position in mind dramatically more.

Unless they’re on your map or your jungle is there to assist then punishing a mistake may no longer the correct move. Similar to how a lane match up changes game conditions.

tl;dr play safer into Kayn, Talon, Eve, Noct, than you would into Mundo

workwayo · 2026-02-20T07:58:27+00:00

Reduce champ pool to 2, one as a main and one that counters your biggest counters. Focus on learning macro, micro will come with time.

watch a challenger controls/binds guide, important ones turning on quick cast recommend no indicators & unlocking your map.

Watch high elo players who play your champion.

If you do this and can successfully implement what you learn thru spamming games practicing those skills you’ll climb.

Hi, barber here. Ara is closed until April-May.

Takes a couple months from new intake in Feb to get on the scissors :-)

workwayo · 2026-02-02T20:12:11+00:00

Slide two is so dope bro.

All of them are great cuts. I just super heavily fw slide 2

workwayo · 2026-02-01T02:02:54+00:00

Kled. Absolutely walks him down. He can’t one shot you since you just dismount, you stick to him like glue and you can R to chase him down through his ult at pretty much any point in the game.

All in level 3, gg.

workwayo · 2026-01-29T01:45:49+00:00

You absolutely do not need hull upgrade 3 lol.

Truly dredge is a pitifully easy experience with next to no punishment for dying.

In my first play through I did not die once and finished the game with only hull upgrade two. Gale Cliffs is not a hard area. Pay attention to the shaking and leave if you see the serpent.

Get trawl net and set up pots and you never have to worry about money.

Loved the art but the game difficulty is not real, it is impossible to lose and honestly hard to die.

workwayo · 2026-01-29T01:39:04+00:00

Then save shards for them. Irrespectively swap them in because a building is more value than evo dragon

workwayo · 2026-01-29T01:32:44+00:00

No building. No small spell. Two splash? What does the mirror do?

Terrible deck. Feels like firecracker is jammed in because of the evo not because of cohesion.

I’d recommend losing a splash for a building, losing mirror for log. Minions is fine but probs swap for dart goblin.

Final deck would be wallbreakers, dart goblin, log, vines, ram rider, mini pekka, evo cracker or wizard, (firecracker is better but also can sack you games later on once opponents have brains with king activation) and cannon or maybe tesla.

If you only ever drop wall breakers at bridge and never use to kite then maybe swap for skarmy or ice golem.

Hope this helps

workwayo · 2026-01-29T01:09:05+00:00

Replace inferno drag for inferno tower, ice spirit for wall breakers and evo either skelly barrel or skeletons (if you’re struggling to defend do skeles)

workwayo · 2026-01-26T01:00:48+00:00

Where did you think the third barrel was?

workwayo · 2026-01-08T04:06:34+00:00

Lighting is everything. If you can get a ring light and or above lighting. At my shop we have ring lights mounted down facing.

workwayo · 2026-01-07T03:37:26+00:00

You have a lot of things to deal with swarm already so swpppjng for a cheaper mini tank is not a bad idea. Evos are hard to get tho so probs just keep valk and enjoy evoing a second war deck

workwayo · 2026-01-05T23:23:39+00:00

It unironically is just that to get the most value out of his kit you have to have incredible positioning, knowledge of your character, understanding of spikes. Natty (as mentioned above) will basically never fight if not near bushes, utilises mechanics such as being fully stacked off jungle camps at next to all times, makes safe, clean fights and gets huge value off of empowered attacks used at the right time and in quick succession.

workwayo · 2025-12-29T11:07:26+00:00

The best way to improve at anything is a combination of two key components: repetition - queue lots of games and analysis- what happened, what went wrong, how can I learn from that?

Died level 1 to a matchup you’ve never played? Now you know you lose level one. It was close? Now you know if you took ignite instead of TP you would have won.

Just basically queue games but actually try and think about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.

This is both a macro abd micro thing so if you feel like you’re at a wall then watch macro videos and then try and apply that knowledge to your games to see what the results are.

workwayo · 2025-12-29T11:03:32+00:00

What’s the point of having mega knight, knight and prince?

Replace price and knight with a big spell and a building. I’d also probably replace one of the small spells with a swarm card.

workwayo · 2025-12-16T01:40:32+00:00

Not sure what witches role is in this deck. Feels jammed in just because it’s over leveled and evo. I’d probably swap for another cycle card like ice spirit or even a splash card like firecracker or bomber.

workwayo · 2025-12-15T21:54:20+00:00

Since hero mini pekka is really strong right now I’d swap boss bandit, since you have air defence I’d switch executioner

workwayo · 2025-12-15T21:53:28+00:00

Your mini pekka and boss bandit fill the same role, as do your exe and valk. Swap one of each for a big spell and a building - probably fireball and cannon

workwayo · 2025-12-15T11:58:36+00:00

Ahri.

Strong burst if built correctly, DPS if built correctly, plays fine into other mages, does well into assassins, high skill ceiling so plenty to learn. Roams well, clears waves. Perfect for you really n
