Finally pulled off my first rot13(phefrs) deck.

Almost died in the middle of Act 2, but I managed to make it to Act 3 this time.

I greatly dislike fighting rot13(Gvzr-xrrcre) because it always seems I have the deck he hard-counters.

because those are the fun decks.

@MartinEnder nice! How did you die in Act 3?

Act 3 has some really tough hallway fights

I haven't died yet ;)

But unfortunately, I was stupid and forgot to keep 75 gold on the first merchant there to get rid of one of the curses I picked up. That's probably gonna cost me a lot of HP going forward.

RIP in Piece

rot13(Phygvfg + Urk Ynff, Gevcyr Phygvfg, naq gung fghcvq cynag) are all right bastards

Actually, the middle one isn't anywhere in the same league as the first and third

Complete random aside, Shuriken in a Shiv deck is top tier fun

@Veskah what? those are not the hallway fights I consider hard

Not hard but hard to get away scott-free

Specially with stupid plant

IMO, the plant is a game of patience.

like, it's really easy to get greedy and attack more than you should.

I think the fight I have the hardest time is the head

True, Head feels like a DPS race you can never completely win

Also, I may or may not be a dumb idiot when it comes to greed in that game

Just had a run where I swapped my relic for a boss one, and got the one that hides intentions. I managed to get to the collector, but I'm surprised I did.

act 1 is surprisingly hard with no intentions

much harder than 2

I think that's because there's a lot of Big Swing -> Utility move dudes on Floor 1. Guessing wrong hurts a lot

@Veskah I did get that, and also pen nib and the fan.

I also picked up a second Adrenaline along the way.

Hot diggity daffodils. RNGesus is smiling fondly upon you this day

So my new favorite loadout in Dead Cells is Fire brands + Hokuto's bow. (Or Ice bow I suppose, trading a little bit of DPS for much better CC) This setup let me beat Gur Pbapvretr without taking a single hit (never done that before), and pretty much destroyed Gur Gvzr Xrrcre with about 16 Tactics. I'm finding that AOE damage is super strong because it lets you focus on dodging while slowly whittling health, but never needing to get in close for a direct attack.

And going for a heavy tactics build is nice because it makes your turrets way stronger. a Double crossbow-matic VI++ with 18 tactics and support mutation is absolutely lethal.

Unfortunately, I didn't get much further because I let greed get the best of me and switched out my fire brands for a V-L Assassin's dagger, which seems better because of the higher DPS, but completely switched up my approach, since it requires getting way up close and personal. Which you really don't want to do in Uvtu Crnx Pnfgyr

Freakin Lancers

Can't tell if real names or rot-13 ...

I mean, randomly coming across a boss named Gur Pbapvretr would be pretty terrifying

Looks Polish

Gur Pbapvretrski

Or Lovecraftian

@Veskah Out of context quote of the day

Heh
