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
Even though I do not use it, I recommend Minty Spire for people looking for various Quality-of-Life improvements: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...

The choice to take genetic algorithm over biased cognition after mentioning how you think biased cog is maybe the most powerful defect card is a great example of making contextual decisions in slay the spire. Defect is the best! Love the vids

Best line at 24:20 is actually killing one of the louses with strike + rebound, and then dualcast to deal 16/finish the 2nd one. Its a one turn kill with 100% percentage chance. It still happened but because of some rng luck the way it was played. Love these videos. Feels like you broke the game once more, with kunai and shuriken. xD Then the double echo form haha.

@PalaeoJoe Ай бұрын

So far, The Defect is the only Character I have beaten the heart with and actually the first character I beat a third act boss with. I beat the heart by using msny orb slots and the power that summons more power cards each turn. I am currently working on beating the heart with Ironclad. I found your channel while trying to figure out how to do that.

@AzathothLives Ай бұрын

I got my first heart kill with the Defect. It was a powers heavy build with a mummified hand I found at a shop. The hand let me often discount powerful cards like meteor, or other strong power cards, which ended up letting me chain card after card to empty my hand. It was close, but I was able to finish it by letting the heart's multi hit proc a ton of lightning orbs to spawn.

@martinba9629 Жыл бұрын

One key takeaway here for me was: If you have card draw you need energy. You must try to combine the two! Also: The double Hologram technique with the Turbo works very well. After rewatching and getting slightly lucky, I managed to kill The Heart on A4 ... with a very late Inserter, Frost + Lightning Orbs and a final Focus value of 26 🙂 (orange pellets helped here ... did I say "slightly lucky"? 😇 )

Isn't it smarter to use 'Strike' + 'Rebound' on the back enemy and then use 'Dualcast' to guarantee a full clear at 24:15? If the 'Dualcast' had hit the back enemy twice, then you would have taken some (minor) damage.

@nathansmith9597 Жыл бұрын

Just commented same thing (and deleted when I saw you already said it). Dualcast first was indeed a (small) misplay, that ended up with same result. The line you propose is guaranteed t1 lethal. Interestingly he only had t1 lethal due to that rebound he just took. If it had been a strike instead of rebound he would be one point short on damage to kill the louse in back.

It is a 25% chance that both strikes hit specifically the front louse or specifically the back louse, but it is a 50% that both orbs hit the same target. Think about it like this: What the first strike hits doesn't matter, and then it is a 50% chance that the second strike hits the same louse as the first.
