1:22:11 Out of personal curiosity I did the math here and Baslor could kill the shield this turn. There was probably multiple ways to do it but the line I considered was Holo into Melter (removes block, deals 11 dmg), then Electro (evokes 3 Lightn orbs for 42 dmg, then deals 36 dmg end of turn) for a total of 89 dmg ignoring block
@jordansandoval7097Күн бұрын
I made this comment immediately before seeing how the turn panned out and he killed him anyway xD. But it does seem worth noting regardless, as it was doable from the turn start without risking what draws he got or future turns if he full blocked without killing

This is one of the most powerful defect runs I've seen, but still almost died to heart with 5 damage difference Speaks volumes how much defect really needs a way to arrange his card draw in act 4 because of how reliant he is at it. Maybe make seek a rare card, another source of weaken/strength reduction or ability to see scry his draw pr something even without the discard effect.

Where do you guys stand on upgrading ball lightning vs melter? If I end a run with upgraded ball lightning I usually had molten egg or (counterpart to war paint) it’s the same as strike upgrade I don’t feel like the fact that I will play it over a strike is enough reason to upgrade
@Sad_MercyКүн бұрын

@jordansandoval7097Күн бұрын
Well, I think you’re undervaluing exactly how often you’ll play ball lightning over both strike AND melter. It depends on the run, of course, and, as for you, most runs really would prefer to spend that upgrade elsewhere. But in Baalor’s situation, with the consume and a deck geared to want more focus, given the choice I too would always pick ball lightning over melter because that lightning orb is just way more valuable. It’s quite the chore so I don’t advise it, but if you were to rewatch the run and count how many times ball lightning, even unupgraded, was chosen over melter I’m sure you’d find a pretty large discrepancy in their use rate. Most of all, the upgrade mattered most when he got it in Act 1, with little energy to spare and a hand that’ll discard what isn’t played. By the end of the run, that upgraded ball lightning was still contributing something, but nothing spectacular. I assure you, if he had not had the ball lightning he’d have upgraded melter

i'm newer to sts and i've had bad experiences with corruption (exhausted all my block cards in the heart fight then died :/ ) so i've been avoiding it. it's absolutely insane to see how it can be used so effectively by someone who knows what he's doing.
@elim9054Күн бұрын
I recommend picking it more, it's easily one of the strongest Ironclad cards. With experience you'll get better at judging when you can play Corruption, but in most non-boss fights and with most decks the answer is just "as soon as you draw it." Corruption is strongest in fights that are damage races, and the majority of fights in the game (including both of act 4's fights) are some form of a damage race. I think the boss fights where it's most often dangerous to play Corruption too early are guardian, champ, and awakened one. All three of these fights mostly test your ability to block -- usually over multiple deck reshuffles -- so there is a very real risk of running out of block if you don't have a specific plan to end those fights quickly. Collector is another fight where I often find myself delaying Corruption, especially if my damage output is not very fast. Some synergies can also make Corruption safer to play early than it might otherwise be: - Feel no pain extends the value of your skills because they block more efficiently. - Barricade being in play means you don't lose anything by overblocking. - Charon's ashes makes every skill do some aoe damage, thereby letting you end a fight a little bit faster. - Dead Branch makes it EXTREMELY difficult to actually put yourself in a situation where your deck is completely out of block. This is arguably the strongest synergy in the entire game, to the point that a lot of experienced players actively dislike it for making runs too easy even at the highest difficulty. - Snecko Eye is another very strong relic with Corruption, albeit not as insane as Dead Branch. The extra draw both lets you get Corruption played sooner and gives you more cards to play in each hand after Corruption is played. Corruption also overrides confusion, so your skills will always cost 0 after you play it.

That Envenom->Bane interaction shows just how committed STS is to the words that are on the card. "Deal 7 damage. If the enemy has poison, deal 7 damage again" means what it means in the order that it means it. The game deals the damage first, THEN checks if the enemy has poison.

Transforming a card is actually just removing the old card and adding a new random one. Thus, cards that can't be removed can also not be transformed. And transforming a parasite will still lose you max health.

It’s bananas to me how much more difficult this game is than other games. I have almost 8k hours in my favorite game and I know every single thing. There’s 120 heroes so there’s probably. 5 that I don’t know perfectly. Maybe 10 that I don’t remember the whole passive. But I know every single opponent I face. I know how the player is gonna play. I know how the early games gonna go based on the enemy picks. Based on our picks. First blood. How my teammates chat. The items they buy. I know exactly the range of every auto and ability. The cast times. The post fire times. The delay on the pre fire. I can instantly tell if it’s going to be an hour long game or a short game. There’s so many things I know with such certainty because of my 8k hours over a decade of playing…. For spire it almost feels like there’s never a 100% correct choice for any decision. To hear someone with as much play time as I have in another game still doesn’t understand every single outcome and decision is wild. Especially because I know in general Baalor is smarter than I am by 100x. Shows how much more simple my game is and how much harder spire is.

It would be neat if Searing Blow had a unique interaction with Molten Egg that could potentially let you find it naturally as already at +2. I.e. it rolls the normal chance at finding an upgraded card first, and if that check succeeds, then the Molten Egg upgrades it again. It would be a neat interaction that would only make sense for that specific card since egg relic upgrades obviously can't normally stack with natural upgrades on any other card. I don't think this would be at all overpowered either since the earliest you can find naturally upgraded cards is act 2. Meaning the earliest you could theoretically find a +2 Searing Blow from this interaction would be the first fight of Act 2, floor 1. In which case, you're already a full act behind on Searing Blow upgrades. But this unique interaction could 'maybe' open the door for taking a late Searing Blow to still be viable since 2 free upgrades could help cover some lost ground for missing out on act 1 fires, if you just so happen to find it right at the start of act 2 and your act 2 layout has an extremely fire heavy path.

@captainknuckles40963 күн бұрын
corruption being a core of the deck that needs to be played means that having 2 of them you double the chances of drawing one early. Once one is in play, the orther one may be a sort of a curse but due to one already being played its more of a minor nuisance than a real curse
@elim90543 күн бұрын
As a general rule powers and exhaust cards from Pandora's box are pretty bad removal candidates since they naturally "remove" themselves from your redraw. Having two corruptions is also totally fine if your deck wins as soon as corruption plays and the first one isn't bottled. The extra corruption at worst removes itself if you have the extra energy to play it, and it can easily be an exhaust target. I pick second corruption on purpose all the time if I have dead branch or snecko eye.

It can’t get any stronger than the defect run from this year. There’s no stronger showcase of overpowered gameplay than that. It’d be cool to directly compare the two runs. Somehow I don’t even remember this run. 😂 fun to watch.
