I use a few mods for Slay the Spire. All of them are Quality-of-Life improvements and do not have any effect on the gameplay. Here are all of the mods I have active:
Slay the Relics Exporter, used for the live stream: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Relic Stats, to keep track of how many times the relic effects happened: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
UI Sliders, to reposition the Discard and Exhaust piles, so that they are not hidden behind the camera: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Run History Plus, giving us more info in the Run Summary screen about the run: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
Map Marks, for path highlighting - here, typically, Green means an easy, intended path, and Orange or Red means a harder path that I might take if I get good rewards: github.com/casey-c/mapmarks

You know an archetype is bad when the best sts player in the world almost dies multiple times during a run with a near perfect seed. Still, getting these super rare runs to work is why the game is so fun. Hats off to you sir!

@johndoe-rw2gi Жыл бұрын

i think the perfect seed thing is a lil generous. for sure a lotta good rng here. the early heal relics carried a lotta the run, and there were some nice synergies. the lack of second wind in particular, is a rough one. there were also a good amount of key relics that could have helped speed things up, mainly bag of prep or gambling chip, to fix those awful turn 1's. the lack of mass exhaust held it back imo, being able to quickly get rid of mass filler could have greatly boosted efficiency. for sure the wound deck archetype is pretty trash tho, which breaks my heart to say lmao

@elton0139 Жыл бұрын

I admit this being the perfect seed is a bit of an exaggeration, but it still was a really lucky seed for the archetype. I kinda wish they would buff these bad archetypes and nerf the overpowered ones for the sake of shaking up the gameplay more. It feels like every game I play on A20 is rolling a dice on do I get the good synergies or not. But then again, sts card balance isn't geared towards A20, and people who are good enough at this game like Baalor do make it work so, oh well. Sts is still the most well balanced card game I've ever played despite all that!

@johndoe-rw2gi Жыл бұрын

@@elton0139 i def feel this. i think its most noticeable on Watcher, where the various infinite setups are SO strong compared to everything else. and then there's just a bunch of garbage cards in her pool. it's a shame a lot of the cooler concepts or archetypes require so much additional work to make perform well :(

@firmanimad 10 ай бұрын

tbf he took 2 feel no pains early with no exhaust early on, then complain about slow deck. Almost costed him the game imo. Also this seed gave him those 3 early synergy cards then denied him any status giving card, nor good exhausting card which he's going for, for a good while.

@cameronschyuder9034 Жыл бұрын

@@franslay8981 I don't know if it is as obvious as you say, since his only reliable block card was Power Through for acts 1 and 2, no barricade. As the run continued, he was drawing majority wounds. Also, fire breathing helped out a lot in the early act, so that's why he leaned into it. Great for sentries. Better for AOE than body slam

ya. at least for me, it just feels like the game basically emplores you to play a certain thing, and if you're not taking the bait, you get screwed over. like theres many times i've tried to force this exact build and i either wouldn't ever see fire breathing or wouldn't ever see power through or something similar. the game is like, "here, have this strength card. oh since i offered you the other strength stacking build card, have this one now." and 3 shops in a row you get the same power up for sale you're like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

@Redtornado6 Жыл бұрын

I’ve always thought it was one of the best relics. Most enemies follow a certain pattern, and even if you draw all attacks and no defends, even if you didn’t have runic dome, you would just end up having one less energy

@dadiscoverychannel Жыл бұрын

Not being able to see intents can be really scary and even run-ending on certain fights, but the key is that it doesn't matter if you're able to use that extra energy to outright kill or block all damage. I'd absolutely consider it better than Sozu or Ectoplasm in most scenarios - seeing enemy intent is much less valuable resource than potions or gold, especially since majority of enemies follow a strict or at least predictable attack pattern

Weird. Did anyone see how Firebreathing hit Guardian twice after his phase change triggered but before the block came down. Then the fourth wound hit the block. 10:50

@adamnorthcutt2208 Жыл бұрын

Perhaps it took all the damage from the initial 5 hand card draw as “one attack”, then guardian transformed, then the evolve caused more draw, and this drew another wound that then hit the block. Good observation!

Wouldn't the Writhe curse be good for the relic due to the nature of the build or is there another reason you didn't take that deal at the ? event?

@derrilazkia1002 Жыл бұрын

I think it's because you need to play your powers before status and curses can be impactful; Evolve + Fire Breathing. So writhe is guaranteed minus 1 draw on turn one, and won't be beneficial until discard pile was shuffled.

@bobbyray49 Жыл бұрын

Ironclad has a bit of a learning curve, I felt like I broke through a wall once I realized the strength of exhaust and exhaust synergy. Also a lot of the clad’s powers are kind of a trap and can screw you over if your deck isn’t ready to handle them. Just my 2 cents. Good luck on your runs!

I'm obviously a much worse player than Baalor, but I feel like his love for feel no pain made this synergy look worse than it is. Those and exhume cluttered his deck and made the mid game painful.
