I see 2+ hours, i know it's a frozen eye run

I'm pretty sure he's using a calculator, or python shell, or something along those lines, to do the arithmetic most of the time.

Who here was soothed hearing him say it can take 2-3 hours to play the Defect well?

[@parzival3582]

Hey @Baalorlord, been watching your YT videos for ages now, I don't get chance to follow the live steam. I wondered, do you keep playing the same character until you lose, or do you win one and then move onto the next character? Great vids as always!

[@swordzanderson5352]

Imagine if this deck saw a Reinforced Body with Dex scaling and 5 base energy.

[@cocolarge4305]

Thumbnail changed, I see your games baalor, I know it used to be Sunder and Streamline on the thumbnail

[@sinofwrath698]

Bro, three chest back to back? This game loves baalor.

[@sathrielsatanson]

Considering how bad his card rewards were I question your assertion.

[@sinsobaki420]

Awesome vid! Very insightful! GG

[@ljlk8583]

been working on getting all of the achievements in the game thanks to encouragement from your videos! Finally got to the final boss on A19 but sadly got my butt kicked by Donu and Deca

[@sathrielsatanson]

Well, beating A20 is not that bad once you practice enough. Beating the game in under 20 minutes and killing Transient is much more annoying.

[@ljlk8583]

@@sathrielsatanson I really struggle with a20. My average run is around about 20 minutes so I don't have trouble with that one and transient wasn't so bad once I had an infinite. The hardest one for me so far was the 1 relic and a20

[@sathrielsatanson]

@@ljlk8583 Yeah, guess it's different for everyone. One relic and 20 minutes are both best with Ironclad, they are also like the transient kill dependent on RNG. Transient kill is more annoying tho because sometimes you might get ideal setup and never find him. A20 is also RNG to a point but sometimes you just swap into a perfect relic and you coast. I got my achievement with a slightly junky orb Defect deck with Inserter from Act II boss and too little focus (Data Disk from Last Elite in Act 1) and Defragment+ from Act 1 boss Astrolabe. Electrondynamics was the MVP but the winning strat was definitely a Pantograph that allowed me to go into both ACT III bosses with full help. Also did not get Time Keeper :D If you are already at A19 then I am sure you are just a couple of tries away from success. You can make it.

[@Lildoc911]

How does frozen eye work for RNG? As soon as you get it, does it show you what would have already been randomized? Like if you played the same seed, and did the same moves, would the run with frozen eye shuffle the same or differently as the run without?

[@Spong388]

I wonder how’s possible it’s the 3rd defect run you have in a row I dont see a single skim, do you have that card unlocked? 🤣

[@jerryt793]

[@sathrielsatanson]

Yeah, that he managed to beat it with such a subpar deck is really a testament to his skill.

[@redford4ever]

@@sathrielsatanson I do feel he's improving which is an odd thing to say for someone who isn't close to his level.

[@sathrielsatanson]

@@redford4ever Well, he is certainly putting a lot of thought into his plays that's why he is so good. And I get what you are saying, I am nowhere near his level too :P

[@elim9054]

What makes capacity pot so bad? Is it just that it's usually not immediate output because you still have to fill the slots?

[@scrungo7610]

Yes and yes. It can easily be a useless potion especially early game. Plus it comes in card form already

[@swordzanderson5352]

It is a potion that is very niche and only helpful when you have a very quick way to fill in all the orb slots AND have have them be consequential usually with decent Focus, basically meaning you need a complete Defect orb deck to make it shine. And yes, there is already a card form of this potion, which can get Amplified or Echo Formed. So IF you have a great orb deck AND you don't have a Capacitor, THEN this potion is great. Freaking Smoke Bomb is, on average, better than this thing because at least Smoke Bomb is essentially a really bad Lizard Tail/Fairy in a Bottle, which is still usable. That being said, the effect isn't bad, it's just the entire criteria for it to be good is way too specific to not just rather have an Attack Potion or Power Potion. If you have a good Orb deck going on, sure, it might be the deciding line even without some Focus. Most of the time, tho? Meh

Why no love for reboot ? It's basically draw 4

I see frozen eye on a Baalor run, I click off the vid. Very simple.

[@isgamelion2227]

Was fun and all until u clicked frozen eye. (I know it is a pretty busted relic but damn it is the most funkiller thing in the game)

[@jbdbibbaerman8071]

I don't get how people can think specific relics like that aren't fun. It's cool to see people use it well and it leads to feeling big brain. What could be more fun?? I'm almost convinced people who say this about runic dome and frozen eye don't even like the game in the first place

[@isgamelion2227]

@@jbdbibbaerman8071 I have absolutely 0 problem with runic dome, and like i said I know using Frozen eye is the smart play, and I would probably have bought it myself in that sitiutaion. But from a VIEWER perspective, frozen eye just add like 40 minutes to the run, 40 minutes of looking at your draw trying to find the best way to plan an entire fight, and it is interesting during certain elites/boss fights, but man it's freakin boring to watch most of the time.

[@isgamelion2227]

@@jbdbibbaerman8071 And tbf I cleared ascension 20's heart with all four character so I can pretty much say I love this game.

​@@isgamelion2227I have no doubts you do love this game, Tbf whether you did or not actually has no impact on the criticism so it was unfair of me to say that It's just, I kind of get it, but I just find it too interesting to find the extra time boring

[@aldohorn1704]

I like Frozen Eye, but I hate Runic Dome. I like relics that add information, and Dome removes information. Usually Dome is an instant click off for me. I will stay a while longer for Frozen Eye, maybe go watch something else and come back again. Another relic that I really hate seeing is Dead Branch. Especially on Ironclad. I just click off.
