Fast Mode is an A+ feature

Not an empty quote
Seriously though, even with all the new gorgeous animations sometimes you don't want to sit through two minutes of birbs hitting you 5 times each

Just tried out the Downfall mod, not that I'm tired of the base game yet after 150 hours

This is a new game mode where you play as the bosses and work your way down the spire from the heart, facing the original characters as bosses, an incredible amount of work must have gone into this.

My first run after a difficult act 1 I cruised along until the act 3 boss the Silent, she stacked up poison on me and laid down a wraith form. I only survived due to my fairy in a bottle and the healing cards I had. Amazing mod

Seconding this, how high quality this mod is absurd

If you're interested on a "professionals" opinion, joinrbs put out a video last year about question card+broken crown.

TlDr is that it's still not good

Note I always grab broken crown, because I'm bad at this game lol

he spent a good hour trying to decide between playing a Defend and a Poison or a Poison and a Defend

he's extremely good at making every decision appear to be the life or death decision that will send the run careening off, even if it's something as trite as "do I buy this Footwork at this shop?"

As someone who refuses to slow down and think while playing this game, he's 100% right. It's just that playing the game "wrong" is way more fun

Is there a particular reason why the metallicize potion (6) is so much better than the plated armor one (4 and drops if hit) ?
Like their numbers should be flipped right???

E: i googled it and metallicize potion is ironclad only

I imagine there�s significant cross over between Slay the Spire and Library of Ruina, so I�m posting this in both threads.

There is a FANTASTIC mod for StS which replaces all default enemies and events with Ruina inspired ones. Needless to say, there are massive spoilers, so if you care about plot don�t get it. Otherwise, it�s a truly remarkable mod which smoothly integrates a variety of Ruina mechanics into the game. I cannot emphasize enough how blown away I was when I started playing it.

Here�s the steam workshop link
