Yeah, it's only really good for feeding Storm and Nova, and even then Nova just isn't a good card at all.

There's an option on the character select screen. You might have to have a win with them first, I'm not sure.

Yup, you have to win. I've already put 13 hours into this game, fully unlocked everything for the Ironclad and the Silent and I've yet to win

Todays daily is the nuts. It was Shiney / Hoarder so deck sizes got MASSIVE. I got an upgraded mindblast on the last shop and wrecked TimeLord with just 3 cards.

You either have to get 5 wins or beat all of the act 3 bosses, whichever happens first, to unlock ascension runs. I'm on 3 of 5 but I think all of them are Time Eater victories, so 2 to go either way

It took me 17 minutes to beat today's daily because of Mind Blast being in a store on act 1, I could have gotten beyond perfect if I had time to upgrade all of them before the boss..

First try: Shovel is a fair and balanced relic. Hyperbeam was the bottled attack, which is why I removed Zap and not Dualcast. At least Dualcast could nominally be useful on turn 1. E: Oh for the record, when I say I felt like I was having a way easier time climbing high Ascension with Defect than any other class, I meant it. Here's my overall winrates for all the classes, as you can see I pretty much just did A15 with all classes and only played a handful of runs outside of Ascension:  My winrate for Defect blows the other two out of the water. Obviously there's the factor of me playing Defect after I had gotten more experience and gotten better, but I kind of feel like Defect is secretly just the best character once you get good at him. Also my overall winrate looks really bad from this... Ultima66 fucked around with this message at 07:13 on May 19, 2018 |

Tollymain posted:whats the use case for havoc You have exhaust synergy and/or lots of powers. If you have feel no pain havoc is play a random card off your deck and gain 6 block, and your deck tends to be better than random cards in the back half of the game. It works best with power heavy decks because if it hits a power because then it just reduces the cost of your power to 1(0) with no downside. If you have dead branch it's play 0 mana playback random effect from your hand add a random card to your hand which is bananas.

As a rule of thumb which are better to aim for, question marks or elites?

Splicer posted:As a rule of thumb which are better to aim for, question marks or elites? Elites are the best space (yes, over fires) as long as you can take them reasonably, where "reasonably" is hard to specify. Other than that '?' is a matter of taste more than objective quality - personally I like taking them over regular fights except in the first 3 floors of each area. And of course in the final act often you don't need card rewards and just want to go to the boss with minimal fighting.

If you can reasonably kill the elites, the go for the relics. If you cannot beeline those question mark paths. This becomes a real decision durring ascension.

In act 1 you want to take elites provided you think you can do it without needing to take an extra rest, since early upgrades are so important. In act 2 the elites aren’t really much more dangerous than hallway fights if you have decent area damage but I’m usually routing for the path of least resistance anyway because hallway fights can be so deadly. I’d say the act 3 elites are the most dangerous since you can very easily take 40 damage that you really don’t have much time to bounce back from, but if your deck is already stacked they also have the least payoff by that point so I mostly fight act 3 elites for score.

Event rooms are also different based on what act you’re in, so if you’re fishing for a particular event you’ll want to bear that in mind. Act 2 has the super-high-value book relic event that is pretty much always worth fishing for.

Act 1 events have multiple opportunities to upgrade and remove cards for free/cheap, so they’re good to hit up, although you don’t want to skip too many easy act 1 fights since you need cards and gold. Act 2 events have several unique relic or card rewards, like the red mask, bloody idol, books or apparition cards. There’s also the more mundane but still good “upgrade strikes/defends” or “draft 1 card or heal” which never hurt. It’s worth hitting events just to skip hallway fights but there’s always one or two events that are nice to find no matter what deck you’re running. Act 3 events mostly suck.

drat i just had such a good ironclad deck going and hosed it up right before the 2nd boss by not immediately clearing the minions in an elite fight. barricade+, 2 metallicize+, shrug it offs, 1 body slam, the anchor that starts you with 10 block... everything was going perfectly  lesson learned

Awesome! posted:drat i just had such a good ironclad deck going and hosed it up right before the 2nd boss by not immediately clearing the minions in an elite fight. Act 2 elites kick my rear end so much harder than act 3. I feel like the goblin leader or whatever hits for 9x3 way too often for me. Especially because he always seems to roll the minions that do damage instead of the useless shield guy or the wizard that does nothing for 2 turns. Most of the time you need to AoE his minions down in 1 turn, maybe 2 while getting good damage on him. The Slaver fight is a pain too because you start off taking 25+ on the first turn and you have to burn them down fast. It's real bad if your deck requires any time at all to ramp up, like any defect build or barricade or poison. Book of Stabbing never gave me any real problems. Its about on the same level as the Goblin Nob except it gains strength whether you play skills or not. It might actually be easier. Giant Head is probably the easiest elite in the game. By that point you can probably either do ridiculous amounts of damage or gain ridiculous amounts of block and outscale him. Nemesis more than makes up for it though. Your deck has to be really consistent because if you draw the wrong card while he's intangible you can just die right there.

That's funny because of all the act 3 bosses, Giant Head is the only one that gives me pause. I'm feeling cocky about my ability to sustain myself and then get completely splattered because it turns out I can't deal 500 damage that quickly. But I mostly play as Silent.

Most of the time you need to AoE his minions down in 1 turn, maybe 2 while getting good damage on him. Book of Stabbing can be really rough if you need a few turns to get blocking up to speed (Defect), because he can fill your deck with Wounds FAST if you're not consistently stopping all of his damage. Gremlin Leader's attack probability is directly determined by how many Minions he has out, so killing them off should usually be your top priority (even the shield and wizard ones): "Never uses the same move twice in a row. Otherwise, with 0 allies, uses "Rally!" 75% of the time and Attack 25% of the time. With 1 ally, uses "Rally!" 50% of the time, Defend Buff 30% of the time, and Attack 20% of the time. With >1 ally, uses Defend Buff 66% of the time and Attack 34% of the time." The worst part of Act 2 though is just the normal enemy Hallway fights. Facing 2 or 3 brutal ones in a row (Cultist + Chosen, Snake Plant, Parasite + Slaver) and THEN an Elite or vis. a vis. probably ends more Defect runs than anything else for me.

If anyone hadn't noticed yet, Snecko Eye cards keep their random cost until drawn from the deck again. This makes All For One hilarious if you've got a bunch of 0-cost bombs in the discard.

I'm on a 20+ game losing streak on ironclad a10. I feel like I understand the game pretty well and can't really figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here's a few recent ones. There might be too much going on here. Overall it would have been better without rupture or bloodletting, I just grabbed those two early for scaling. Bloodletting is just a bit mediocre.  All these choices seem good, but I couldn't even beat Act 1 boss. There was too much HP loss but no recovery besides starting relic.  Sadistic nature worked really well with this deck, but it couldn't handle hyper beam.  Barricade, impervious, and body slam and still couldn't do enough damage to champ in form 2. He took me down from about 85 block. I don't think I should've taken those curses.  This deck also seems quite good, but fizzles out if both offerings can't lead to critical damage. I started with the limit break which is difficult to scale with only vajra.  This deck also seemed good. Demon form with lots of block.  None of these choices seem bad but still not enough damage. Ultimately, body slam seems a little finicky because it only works well when drawn with a few blocks. Battle trance would have been a lifesaver.

You might also be underprioritising act 1 elites relative to rest sites since some of these runs have zero elites in the first act. It's worth picking your first few cards entirely for fighting act 1 elites since the rewards generally outweigh the upgrades you have to pass up by resting.
