You should really give static discharge another shot it's actually insanely good. Also a lot of people harshing on searing blow in here, it is 100% good enough to carry you up to like asc15. And very very very rarely after that.

What do you guys do for the event where you can store a card in a wall to be found in later run? It seems like it would offer really cool mixed-ability potential, but I never would want to give up a decent card for some nebulous future run when I may find it again.

Even then, the thing that won the run was the apotheosis on floor 1, not the searing blow specifically. I think jorbs said in the video that basically any decent attack would have been enough.

Yea that event makes for lovely gameplay due to the reason you just outlined. It only shows up at low/no ascension levels so most experienced players never see it and don't really have any sort of plan for it. Just skip it, there's better things to focus on if you're looking to improve.

Watcher is very strong, fun and silly when things go well in a run. I had an A15 run with heart kill that started with a molten egg, then getting a Lesson Learned+ and Fusion Hammer as the boss rewards. And then the rest from there was easy as they say.

After like 200ish hours of Ironclad I'm finally branching out! 19/5/4/5 on the ascensions. I'm going to get them all up to 19 before I make a real go at beating 19/20 with Ironclad. Just learned that if you corpse explode Donu/Deca it does double damage to the one that gets exploded

Yeah, if you play Corpse Explosion again, the enemy, in addition to the stacks of poison, will gain a second stack of the Corpse Explosion debuff, meaning of course that when they die, they'll deal their max HP to every other enemy twice now.

I just finished my first ascension run ever! it was with the silent, and I should start taking photos of these, but it was basically an exemplar of the only way I’ve ever know how to win with the silent: tiny deck (like 15 cards), three noxious fumes+, footwork+, after image, and then a ton of block and card draw. that plus the mercury hourglass just let me grind out everyone. I drew donu and deca so I drafted a corpse explosion and let it do the work

tuyop posted:I thought this run was a bit promising. Maybe only the second time I made it through the Beyond with The Silent. Now I'm sad. To give a post-mortem, that's a deck with too many bad-to-mediocre cards and a shortage of block and card draw. If you take out the six weakest cards that you added and put in a pair of Backflips, it gets much better. The relics and Glass Knife presumably suckered you into going for Phantasmal Killer with lots of attacks (a weaker strategy than it seems, rarely worthwhile without Runic Pyramid or Well-Laid Plans to set things up), and then the healing from the Bites made the deck feel stronger than it was. When evaluating cards, it helps to know that cards that do nothing the turn that they're played need to be extremely powerful or provide a benefit that lasts the whole fight (e.g. many powers, poison) to be worth taking and that cards yielding nothing except energy require you to have much better card draw than energy generation. Both of these factors cut against Outmaneuver and Distraction, two cards that the Silent very rarely wants. Common attacks are cards that are best thought of as costs: you put a few of them in your deck because you need them to deal with early fights, but would rather not have them later in the run. Especially if you got the Glass Knife early, this is a deck that could have managed with half as many attacks as you added. Continuing the theme of cards that you could cut, adding a curse to your deck in exchange for a relic tends to be a poor trade. It's not at all obvious to new players, but it's usually best not to open chests if you have a Cursed Key. If I'm remembering the the first decks that you posted in the thread correctly, this is an improvement: it has a notable amount of damage, scaling, card draw and block, just not in quite the right ratio. There's much more to be said about routing and the value of card removes, but you're at a point where learning to keep your deck a bit slimmer with enough block and card draw (by the time you had four energy, Happy Flower and a few good cards, draw is a major priority) should be enough to push you over the finish line.

Last night I had a really strong watcher run going where I could scrawl into Blasphemy and just kill everything. Then I forgot I had a Cursed key, and opened a chest for a Normality with no way to get rid of it before the act 2 boss fight. Don't be like me kids.

Defect Power build is really, really stupid and fun when it goes off. Midway through the Beyond I just stopped trying to keep track of what was happening. Cards appeared in my hand costing zero, sometimes I would deal random bursts of damage to random enemies, I just spewed out my whole hand until it wouldn't let me click cards anymore.

They need an alternate end turn shortcut that just plays the leftmost playable card until there are none. (Though it is possible for this to be an infinite and pointless loop, so you need to be able to interrupt it also).

there are two defect builds that have worked for me 1) all-in on 0-cost cards. FTL, beam cell, tons of claws. you must have All for One or Scrape or, ideally, both. remove cards aggressively. you cycle through your deck at least once a turn and very rapidly build up tons of claw damage. if this deck ever gets attacked, or has to take more than a couple rounds of attacks from a boss, it is in trouble, but very often it doesn't have to. feels incredibly unfair when it works. 2) power build. this is usually also an orb build because so many of the powers affect orbs. you want tons of power synergy, ideally the mummified hand, but basically you are trying to get so many passive powers running that you just drown the enemy in incremental advantage. usually this build is a little slower and tankier. it always feels like it's about to collapse but somehow never does. note: the first build is not great against time eater, since you might trigger him literally every turn. on the plus side you kill him fast enough that it may not matter. the second build obviously has weaknesses against the awakened one, but i just beat him on A2 earlier today using a full power build (he had I think 7 or 9 strength by the time I killed him). the momentum that deck builds is just unstoppable.
