If I understood you right, you said it's good to draw cards even if you don't have the energy to play them. I don't see how that helps - doesn't it just mean you won't have the option to play that card if it makes sense the next round? Thanks!
@InaBeta Жыл бұрын
@@Travoid Like everything in this game, it depends. Ideally, you're using draw cards in the beginning of your turn to get to other things you want to play that turn (when you still have the energy to) Generally, drawing at the end of your turn is pretty fail, but if you look at your draw pile and see a bunch of garbage you just want to get past to get to your shuffle, then yeah you might want to even if you don't have energy left. My main point is that draw is an extremely powerful (maybe the most powerful) mechanic in this game and it's importance should not be understated. It has a variety of uses and when to utilize it will always depend run to run and turn to turn.

So glad I found this channel. I've played this game for a total of over 100 hours. 92 runs, with only 1 "victory". The victory came from a custom run where I basically gave myself as much advantage as possible. On average, I typically only make it to about halfway through the 2nd act, or die early on in Act 3. Only a few weeks ago I realized that you shouldn't take every single card reward. My decks would end up so bloated and the really good cards were rarely drawn during fights. The main thing I learned from this video is to not avoid the elite fights, and to be better at balancing regular fights with mystery rooms. Up until now, I basically avoided elites as much as possible, and if I were given a choice between a fight or a mystery room, I'd always hit that question mark hoping for a relic.

These are some good tips. You say in the pinned comment to give tips that we think you missed. I think that there are some higher level ideas that can earn small advantages that can turn a loss into a win. The first is that there are some relics such as nunchaku, ink bottle, and happy flower which will keep a counter between fights. It is generally good practice to set these up at the end of the fight when you can be a little more flexible with your card choices so that you can get their effects on the first turn (arguably the most important turn) of the next fight. Additionally, another concept that helped me was paying attention to when I used my draw cards. If you have 1 card in your draw pile, and you play a draw 2 card, this means that everything in your discard pile will go back into your draw pile. This means that all the cards in your hand are not getting shuffled into your deck meaning you will have to go all the way through your deck again in order to see it. For this reason, if you are in this situation and have a strong card that you want to play as often as possible, you should probably play it before the draw card.

As a Slay the Spire player who already spent more than 300 hours on different platforms on the game I can say that your guide was still very helpfull for me. On the one hand it is nice to know that most of my decissions in the game are somehow in line with your tips on the other hand the "practice things which you dont like" tip is something which I have to apply more in my playthroughs. After a period of time you just stick with the same 2-3 stratetgies. Which is dangerous and hinders you to climb up on ascension ranks. Well done!

Okay I know this is an old video but as much as I love this game since I bought it, I could NOT get to the 3rd boss! I would always get my ass kicked halfway through Act 3. I really really want to open the watcher and after playing like (I think at almost 100 omg) runs and FINALLY getting to the 3rd Act Boss...The Ancient One destroyed me. So I finally said screw it and went online for help because I was obviously doing something wrong. My deck is definitely bloated (I'm so bad about picking up ALL the extra cards), I avoid Elites like the plague and I definitely never thought to get rid of strikes and block cards! You're video was super easy to watch, and I appreciate all the tips! I'm gonna try another run now and see how I can make my synergy better! Thanks a bunch =^^=

I've played it a few times. The characters get more complex as they keep making them. Ironclad is real simple. Build up attack power and/or block, and just fight until you win. After that it gets a little trickier, and a little trickier, until you get to the Watcher, and people are still trying to figure her out.

One of the things I've found extremely useful is keeping an eye out for "Aces." Since you know from the beginning of the Act which boss you'll be facing, if you run across a card that specifically counters that boss, it's often worth picking up. Cards like Fire Breathing for the Hexaghost, or Judgment+ vs the Collector.

The other classes can often feel a bit more similar in terms of card evaluations later on in the game; I almost always want a catalyst/echo form/talk to the hand in act 3, but with ironclad i cant think of too many scaling cards i would almost always take in act 3

I love your comments on runic dome. Runic dome plus spot weakness is super rewarding for players that know enemy actions, and offers the ability to trade energy for information for players that don't. Idk if it's an amazing strat but its extremely fun!
@InaBeta Жыл бұрын
It's definitely a strat! Even higher level players can benefit from Spot while using Runic Dome as it's not always guaranteed that enemies are attacking. And if you find they are, you also get some bonus strength to use when you're done trying not to die that turn!

I struggled to beat my first run for many many tries. After watching this video I literally made it in my first try. I made choices I would normally never have made (such as the Snecko Eye, which randomizes any chance of winning in my eyes) and got cards that let me draw more cards. It seems I suck at strategy games. Anyway, thanks for this video, it helped me a lot
@InaBeta 9 ай бұрын
Hey, you stumbled across some powerful synergies! Also, more card draw (especially innate as with Snecko Eye) is powerful for just about any deck. Snecko definitely doesn't randomize your chance of winning, just the cost of cards. In return, you get innate card draw and the ability to grab all the impactful, high cost cards you want without worrying nearly as much about energy (you still want more energy, but you care a lot less about a deck full of 3 cost cards as they will often cost less than that when drawn). Anyways, I hope you saw the power of these mechanics in play and can apply them to future runs! Additionally, don't beat yourself up; this is a really complex, difficult game to begin with and everyone struggles with it at times (yes, even the best of the best players). Keep at it, and good luck in The Spire!
