@MartinEnder 1 more HP than needed :)

who was the final boss?

I downloaded the stuff needed to run it: It really is mesmerizing

To be clear: The AI isn't all that interesting: the interesting bit is the fact that we've now have mods that allow running an AI

@NathanMerrill Pebj

@MartinEnder who is that?

Rot13

I did, but I don't recognize that name :)

Did you start with 1,2, or 3 enemies?

3

I'm just going by the achievement's name

ah ok :)

I think the actual mob name is "njnxrarq bar"

yeah, that's the name I know :)

That was on silent? That feels like the easiest boss for silent. I imagine you didn't run into his "ability" much

Do you mean the ability implied by his name? If so yeah I'm not even entirely sure what it changes.

no, sorry. Before that ability, he has a power.

power is a much better word :)

anyways, my point being, I think you got lucky with the boss :)

I don't actually know what your deck looked like.

If you do want to discuss it, I recommend spirelogs.com

It lets you upload your run and it shows me your deck as well as most of the choices you made along the way

@NathanMerrill spirelogs.com/viewrun.php?run=596119

and yeah, I expect I got lucky with both my deck/relics and the final boss to make it through on the second attempt.

Tried a run with the third class and died to the second boss. I started another run with them. I find their mechanics really interesting, but I don't think I have a good grasp yet on how to play them well.

3rd boy is weird.

There's a lot of trap/very sub-optimal choices for him at each turn

Managed to win my second run with him.

spirelogs.com/viewrun.php?run=596813 if anyone's interested

@MartinEnder I love that username.

you are so lucky

:D

@MartinEnder "Defeated Gremlin Nob in 4 turns (6 damage)" How did you manage that

that's a very good question

oooh, and wrist blade and finisher both really good

Probably just had a strong turn with Adrenaline.

ok, here's a question: Why did you skip Footwork?

Probably because I was playing barely any defensive cards.

Also probably didn't realise that it gives a permanent buff.

wow, you picked up calling bell. This isn't a criticism, because it turned out well for you, but I don't think I've ever picked that one

it makes sense: you were getting max HP, and those relics turned out great for you

I probably wouldn't have if I didn't have the Darkstone Periapt

yeah. Philospher's Stone is a really good relic too, especially for the way you were playing

oh man and ornamental fan

yeah :D although that floor was also the big mistake where I should have removed a curse instead of spending all gold on cards and items

You skipped Infinite blades?

Anyways, that was a lucky run, but I don't think it was crazy lucky.

you have to get lucky to win, and that was an appropriate amount of luck

Hmmm, apparently. Not sure why. I feel like I was avoiding non-Attack cards at that point for some reason and maybe felt like I was already drawing my Infinite Blades enough.

I feel like unless you can buy a really dope relic, you should pretty much always remove a card. Especially with curses

@NathanMerrill do you have any comments on the other run?

@Veskah I actually disagree with that. Smaller decks have been less of a priority recently.

I've started buying more potions (which, btw I was very surprised to see you buy one @MartinEnder . It took me forever to start using potions outside of the "I'm going to die, what potions can I use")

I mean, I still remove cards, but it's been less of a priority.

I need to break the "Only use when I have 3 and/or about to get rekt"

I tend to save them up for bosses and elites.

@MartinEnder yeah, sorry, was busy. forthcoming

no rush :)

oooh, a turn 1 stone calendar. It's a great relic, especially on turn 1

Floor 6, you picked double energy, I think that was a mistake

You don't need that energy, as you aren't drawing enough cards, and FTL and Consume are both fantastic cards

yeah, you've bought 3 energy cards by turn 11, and nothing to use them on

you got so lucky to pick up Multicast

FTL is a very gud card

Lots of resting, I'm assuming for that runic dodecahedron

@MartinEnder I agree with you here. I think the only two reasons you won this game is (1) 2 multicast cards, and (2) you rested a lot

Having a full HP bar is really powerful, at least in your first couple runs.

Feels getting the Gob Nob right before a bed

+Bad

@NathanMerrill 3 Multi-Cast ;)

oh I missed the 3rd one. You're right :)

it took me a long time to make use of that double energy, but it was pretty amazing towards the end (which is also why I picked up another one)

Sure. double energy is a great card end game, especially with multicast and plasma core

especially if it is upgraded

and yeah, I was resting a lot because of that dodecahedron

But you can use multicast as a double energy anyways :)

well... situationally

and I never had a situation where that really would have made sense

no, I agree. It's not super realistic.

but it sure is fun to hit the maximum 99 energy

haha

I got to 16, I think

FYI: I think the defect is a very hit-or-miss character. When the defect wins, you're usually an unstoppable force. It's possible to have a close run with him, but I've found it's pretty unlikely

Well, guess I'll try to win an Ironclad run then and see what happens :)

@NathanMerrill Yep
