This is a really incredible game and I can't recommend it enough.

Some of us have never even beaten Hard.

I was playing Slay the Spire yesterday and my heart sank when I tried to undo!

Yeah, I think blue classes are slightly more powerful than others. Plus they combo with each-other quite well; lots of mana, lots of spells to choose from.

I don't know how you even got that far. I get killed by the witches every time. They're just impossible to beat.

Surely putting ritual on a +reroll cantrip won't matter. Im never going to actually use that dice so it's a free powerup for extra rerolls

Narrator: it mattered

This game is... really good. I'm really liking the "show you a handful of achievements you don't have yet" to direct what you should be doing rather than just showing everything and letting the player figure it out. Next up for me is 3/4 same color heroes in Custom Party. I doubt it's multiple Grey/Red heroes, but I'm not sure which of Orange/Yellow/Blue is the most appealing.

Hexia with a bunch of blue characters is easier than it sounds, imo. If you get a Warlock you're pretty much golden, you can take her out in 3 Blazes and only sacrifice one character while doing so. Chronos and Weaver are also top picks if they're in your bottom slot, because a dodging mage is a mage that doesn't get hit by Mana Burn.

Making your 5th a red hero I think also helps a bunch. There are tons of good red heroes that can offset mana burn; Forsaken, Doctor, Surgeon, Witch, and I guess arguably Wraith.

When do blessings and curses start showing up? Is that just through a secondary game mode? I've gotten two normal 20 round wins so far, thats it.

I've been playing this a lot and love it but I have this complaint: it is way too easy to click through Start -> Yes instead of Continue and overwrite a lot of progress in an extended run. This also seems to happen if you just click on a game mode to see what it is while you have a game going in another. It'd be nice if it was either harder to inadvertently reset a run or easier to undo a reset.

I'm pretty sure that well over half my final boss encounters so far have been Hexia.

Just downloaded it. Pretty fun! What does buying the game unlock?

In general, people new to the game have to kinda unlearn habits from other games. Trying to build a team that can slug it out is usually not the winning move. Party member's lives are a resource you spend. If you kill the last enemy and your last party member dies, you still win. And going for huge item/class combos is good if you can get it, but it's not something that should really be something you go for. Since classes changes and great build you have now could be made absolutely useless in a level.

Incidentally I had an unfair run I thought was dead in the water today and then uh



Turns out, Right 3 Blank is actually ridiculously easy to deal with? Blanking out 3 sides sure sounds bad, but since those are the bad sides for most heroes, its mostly just a mild loss in consistency. For 9 curse points I basically just played normal mode, but with moderately shittier heroes. Broken heart is also pretty easily dealt with, just put it on your Warrior/Defender and they can self shield through most things. This was one of my breeziest unfair runs.

The build itself wasn't anything crazy, but things sure did end up synergizing really well over time. Viscera is kinda nuts for a tier 3 item, all you need is a source of shielding and it ends up being a ridiculously high damage nuke that doesn't even kill the hero its on. My Gladiator with Shurikens and Eye also ended up fantastic, because the Stoic and Surgeon (thanks to Karma) had self shield sides, meaning he was frequently doing 6 damage ranged hits. The surgeon, for that matter, also performed extremely well due to her items; not only did all her sides heal and/or shield herself, they also grew the dice of the entire team thanks to Botany. Plus like, Operate is just such a fantastic panic button. My Dice died turn 1 against the dragon, but who cares, it was back turn 2.

Also, side note, I came away from this with a decent appreciation for Doom Blade. 3 damage death sides seem really unappealing, but there were a surprising number of times during the run where it was an extremely effective play.

It’s totally bogus that my Twin can equip an item that makes his dice awesome (it made him copy the dice of another character) but his twin won’t get the same dice. What gives? What’s the point of a twin if it’s not really gonna twin?

Please please please I know it probably gets said a lot but a menu option for turning off the reroll limiter. Please.

Make it unlock after 125 achievements or something, I don't care, but I'm hunting for the last few achievements on stuff like Generate-Unfair, and having to play through so many completely non-viable runs where I roll only heroes that want to kill themselves or roll only the worst curses, even only to stage 3 in order to reroll, is really killing my motivation. There is no worse feeling than wasting time on a run that's going nowhere just to have the possibility of maybe getting one that could go somewhere.
