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

I randomly stumbled upon your channel by typing "how to find keys in STS" - and oh boy am I addicted to your content now! I had played about 50+ hours of STS before watching your tuto videos, and I've realized I'm still a beginner! The Silent is my favourite character and I thought I was good at playing her. I'm not so sure about that anymore... Here are a few of the most important tips I learned by watching this video: - Do not add cards to your deck that do not have an immediate value! (I tended to do the opposite, adding cards and hoping I would get some complementary cards later on) - Do not upgrade the basic set of Strikes and Defends! (Again, I was all wrong as I would systematically upgrade all my Defends) - Always upgrade the strongest card in your deck first! - Spend more time analyzing the map and also the card options after a combat! (I tend to rush into what I think is the best option, whereas sometimes it's clearly not the case) - Do not use a defensive card to block only 1 damage! (I very much hate taking damage, even the tiniest amount...) - The first cards your need to add to your deck in Act 1 should be damage-oriented! (I've always given more importance to defense) Thanks Baalor for these tips, I've defeated the Heart for the first time yesterday! (In Ascension 0, does that still count?) Also, I'm French and I love your accent. Not sure whether it's American, British, Australian or Irish, but I love it.

I've been watching your videos for awhile now and in the past week have had first-time heart wins with Silent, Defect, and Watcher. The best piece of advice I got from these videos for going against the heart was to fill up the row of relics and thus not to avoid the tough act 3 elites. I had a record (for me) 26 relics when I won with Defect (also helped that I picked up Black Star along the way). Good stuff, thanks!

I spend alot of tried trying to beat it as the silent and often just died in turn 2 due to no block but actually with this guide I made it through in the first attempt after this video. Had arround the same build, no malaise sadly but this block shiv build just worked wonders, I went for more elites then I thought could be healthy, survived all allmost perfectly. Didnt needed a Kunai, got a bit damaged during the Heart but I´m happy to say I dont ever have to try this nightmare ever again with the caracter. I think I got more knowledge on what do do to win and now really like Leg Sweep more then I would thought, it´s quite a strong 2 cost

Just completed my first Spire ever thanks to a lot of the things you mentioned in this video. The game apparently wanted me to go with a Shiv build, as it offered me 2 Accuracy early on. I would end up seeing 3 Cloak and Daggers, 2 Blade Dance, Storm of Steel, and an Infinite Blades to go along with Adrenaline and a couple Backflips for draw. 3rd floor sealed the deal by giving me Terror, 2 upgraded Phantasmal Image, and a third Accuracy. Needless to say, the damage was pumping. Didn't get my 999 on the Heart, but managed 812.

@N1ghthavvk Жыл бұрын

Watching your channel, I saw that Silent was the weakest character. So when I play myself, I only play as her! Currently I'm on A2 with the other characters (because I've never touched them again), but I've managed to claw my way up to A18 with her. Just today I managed the last run on A17. But I got incredibly lucky. I started out, picking a colorless card (Dramatic Entrance), then first picked Blade Dance and got Deadbranch as my first relic. The first shop let me buy Medical Kit. Then I got Alchemize and a Potion Belt all before the first boss. The whole run was fantastic and very fun as a result of that. After defeating the Guardian, I got a Pandora's Box and ended up with two Crippling Clouds which crippled my run the whole time (never once used them). With 2 Blade Dance+, Adrenaline+, an intentionally picked Storm of Steel+ (it performed great), Expertise, Tactician+, Terror+, Acrobatics+, Cloak and Dagger+, a Piercing Wail, Prepared+, Dagger Throw, and a few useless other cards, the deck was quite neat. It ran very well, also thanks to Gremlin Horn (against so many elites it kept me going), Lantern (providing good acceleration), Busted Crown as the only energy relic (yes it was good, the deck was done at that point - I didn't pick another card, trusting fully in Dead Branch), towards the end I also got Snecko Skull, Bronze Scales, as well as Tungsten Rod, from the last fight before the Heart. Talk about lucky. I barely had a block plan. Tanked a thick hit from the heart and used Piercing Wail for the multi attack. And then I had already done enough damage. Throughout the run I even removed a Thousand Cuts (because it was too slow, I needed the energy). Useless cards in the deck: Blur, Footwork, 2 Crippling Clouds, Flying Knee, Bandage Up (mistakenly purchased it, I was always full health when I drew it). I'm not sure whether or not Survivor helped the deck perform or not. The Dagger Throw was better in my opinion. I only beat the heart, because I randomed into Burst + Catalyst and had gotten Envenom beforehand. Dead Branch sure carried that deck like a truck, because I could build around it from the start. Best parts were when I used blade Dance+ and randomed into an unupgraded Calculated Gamble. That worked like magic a few times throughout the run. Sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to share :)

Hey Baalor! I don't get a chance to watch you live, but curious if you're familiar with Against The Storm? I don't normally like to cold recommend games, but I've been playing 2 weeks and am impressed at how refreshing & elegant a Roguelike/City builder it is. Takes all the stuff I love about Civ (expansion & economic challenges) and distills it down into more focused, shorter experience. The Roguelike building access & meta progression really seem like it will provide solid replay value too.

I've got to admit, I really dislike the energy relics of StS because of their downside. Some times you can work around them, but generally losing an entire resource (gold, upgrades, health, potions, cards, cards played or runic dome making non-easy combats into the wheel of abandon run) seems like such a bad deal for what should be a reward. I'd love to see either a way around the downside, even if only partially, or a relic or 2 that give the upside for no downside. There aren't many relics that can be as bad as they are good, why do boss ones have to be so?

@Rommythegeek Жыл бұрын

Because if you have more energy, you’ll take less damages in combat, so why bother healing at campfire you want to upgrade anyway You can also take more draw effect card, so that a curse won’t matter that much Or you can pick up importât mana expensive card and focus on taking only upgraded card for draw or heart purposes

@@Rommythegeek Weeell, you almost never see BaalorLord pick up a curse unless he can immediately remove it, he'd rather skip a relic, which is a bad thing to have to do.
