If you’d asked me when I started it was demon form but now it’s limit break. That card is absolutely busted!

@naphackDT 2 жыл бұрын

Limit Breeeeak! Also I like how you didn't even mention the Reaper upgrade in the video. I, too, treat it as if it doesn't even exist. If you have enough strength scaling, there is no point to upgrade the card in the first place and if you struggle with strength scaling there are more important cards to upgrade than a card that exhausts itself after use. Honestly, I wish the upgrade would instead lower the mana cost.

Juggernaut single-handily makes “oops, all block” decks viable. Easily my favorite rare for Ironclad.

@davids182 Жыл бұрын

Body slam and barricade does great job at that too.

@NickKrishnan 10 ай бұрын

it's so hard for me to make juggernaut work without a feel no pain. Really painful that its upgrade ups its damage and doesn't reduce it to 1 cost. If it did, I probably take it more often than I do (almost never)

@Ulubai Ай бұрын

Just recently made it to a20 and juggernaut was not any part of that process

Single handedly? Ever tried barricade, entrench and body slam? Lmao

@wittywarbler1117 Ай бұрын

i feel like bodyslam does a way better job at that than juggernaut

@QualityGamingStudios Жыл бұрын

I think my favorite boss killing strategy eith ironclad is to use barricade and impervious and other blocks to build up obscene block and then spam body slam

This video style is so much better than a tier list because it goes more in depth to card and relic interactions but what everyone needs is a streamer to go thru every enemy with the bestiary mod cause most players dont know the move sets or enemy interactions and it completely changes the game

@jblev736 2 жыл бұрын

Yess!! I like these discussion of the cards a lot. Very interesting and helpful I hope after this rare card series, we will get an uncommon series too :)

@ChronSoss 2 жыл бұрын

I love me some corruption. The interaction with dead branch isn't even necessary, I just pick it every time I see it because corruption decks are so fun. I love any strategy that can turbo out a bunch of cards and basically reach your win con on turn 1.

@ChronSoss 2 жыл бұрын

@Jeff Talbot honestly I'm not even worried to take it anymore because of my change in playstyle. I will gladly take dark embrace or feel no pain with no exhaust synergies because it is so potentially powerful, even in act one.

Not a very popular one, but I LOVE Berserk. I latched on to it very early into my STS career and I love using it, especially with Clockwork Souvenir or Odd Mushroom, and in Runic Pyramid decks it's free energy against some enemies, Other good ones are the usual suspects, Feed, Limit Break, Immolate, and Exhume

@mjneverletsmedown 2 жыл бұрын

Berserk is too punishing at higher ascension.

@jblev736 2 жыл бұрын

I like Barricade (especially with firebreathing and power through) a lot. All the junk enemies put in my deck and power throughs put in my deck become offense while I sit behind a wall. Limit break is fun too

Balatro made me try this game coz I never played a deck builder before. I sucked and had no idea. Before uninstalling I watched a few of your vids on the Ironclad and on my 8th attempt I got to the heart with him! Mostly defence. I can’t remember card names but basically three cards I built around. One made defence not go away, one attacked a rando enemy when I gained block, one gave block when I exhausted. Then I got rid of a bunch of attacks. Git cards that allowed me to shuffle through a lot of cards. Two cards gave me attack equal to my block. And also that one that doubles my block. Sometimes I almost died but once I went through my cards once the rest made me literally invincible! Thanks for the help and now I’m learning the next character with your vids!

@JGeMcL Ай бұрын

Just getting to the heart on 8th attempt is nice. Thar means you beat the sulent and defect rather fast as well. You found the barricade/entench/juggernaut combo. It has a slow start, but unbeatable once you get it going.

@AlexT737 2 жыл бұрын

Love these videos! Can't wait for the others. Will you be making them for uncommon and non-class cards as well?

limit break is definitely my favorite rare, enables so many crazy turn one boss kills. pommel strike and headbutt are pretty good too :)

Demon form is an MVP for me. Allowed me to beat the heart. Also the Tungsten Rod.

@ethanbenner1632 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely Limit Break, especially when it's upgraded and combo'd with Flex and Demon Form.

@nothingburger1 2 жыл бұрын

I completed a run with a slim deck, demon form, inflame and multiple anger cards, filling my deck with free attacks as the fight went on. After strength builds, anger starts hitting for huge amounts for free, but keeps multiplying, leaving all the energy for blocks. Scaled quickly. Easy win.

@DagarCoH 2 жыл бұрын

Wait, Double Tap works with Whirlwind? My beginner understanding of the mechanics was that the first Whirlwind will use all your energy and the second one, on 0 energy, will do nothing. But if that combo works, it is for sure a godly one.

@KrivitskyM Жыл бұрын

Does work with Whirlwind, but doesn't work with Fiend Fire (unless you have Dark Embrace, in which case the second Fiend Fire will exhaust all the cards you drew off Dark Embrace).

@egg_daddy_official Жыл бұрын

this also works with burst and malaise/doppelgänger on the silent btw

@elsielevine203 Жыл бұрын

Berserk can be pretty good with a source of Intangible in the deck because the extra damage becomes irrelevant. Still a fairly weak upside of 1 energy per turn but the downside is greatly mitigated.

Corruption + Barricade is a lot of fun. Corruption to make everything 0 cost and then you just front-load all your block for the rest of the combat on the next turn when you play Barricade. Then your block is all taken care of and you then have only attacks left in your deck.

To quote Yurnero: I'm the juggernaut, bitch. Jugger + FnP and medbox/corruption/FiendFire is absurdly fun, and fairly strong. Slap a dualwield or 2 on the FnP and go bonkers!
