I just had an amazing run with charons ashes, blue candle n tungsten rod and the necronomicon curse. I could literally play it over and over without taking damage and doing 3 damage to everyone. Feel no pain gave me unlimited block too.

smart play. a little delay for a big payoff.

[@lillildipsy49]

Defect is also coming back in StS2, you can see a Claw card in the Merchant scene if you look carefully.

[@cameronschyuder9034]

Baalor has responded to this saying that the cards shown in the promo art will not necessarily appear in the game come release time. For instance, in the sts1 clad and silent promo art, there is a card that looks like metallicize but with a different card art that never made it in-game. I think it's plausible defect will reappear, but not guaranteed.

[@damianboluminski8327]

Hey Baalor, I've read some salty comments about your intros over the time so I felt like I have to say: I really like these new intros :) Felt like an important feedback. Cheers

[@Baalorlord]

Thanks for the feedback! Since all runs here come from live twitch content, Baalor can't record an intro for every run, so it's hard to find a good balance on intros.

[@thomasneal9291]

silent has poison explosion for shield and spear as well. I think the only downsides to silent are low max health and no way to scale strength.

[@mathees479]

The larger starting deck is a big downside too

[@spleeher]

I super recommend the key reminder mod for those that forget keys! It's been a lifesaver dozens of times for me

[@zebfross]

Wow, what an interesting deck! Strength focused but still so reliant on the little bit of poison it had.

[@SheyD78]

A tough win, great to watch.

[@codegeek98]

Do you have any KZbin uploads of an Endless run?

[@Access1296]

Has 1:13:55 been turned into a KZbin Short? If not, it should be. Really fun meta analysis of the Champ fight.

Good call! I'll put it in the queue for shorts.

[@juliusfrank3349]

Hmm, just noticed that the die in calculated gamble is not correct, irl dice are made with the four and the three on opposite sides...

[@mxspokes]

It's a calculated gamble because she's cheating...

[@n4ttyyy]

@@mxspokesThat attention to detail is pretty cool

[@count3rcultured]

For beating Cultist on A20 without taking damage, you could theoretically get a high damage card before the fight like Bludgeon, Immolate, or Carnage. Then during the fight, draw and play Bash and Strike on turn 1, then draw and play your big damage card on turn 2. I thin that should kill Cultist at just about any starting health, unless it's rolled its max and you have Carnage. But for a starting deck, yeah I can't see how you'd perfect that fight unless you have potions or something

[@thomasneal9291]

Baalor mentioned several times the calculations were based only on the base deck.

[@user-dw5ir6ph4k]

Watcher: Strike+Vigilance turn 1 (6), Eruption Strike Strike Strike turn 2 (45)= 51. Cultist HP ranges from 50-56 on asc 7+. Perfect fight.

[@thomasneal9291]

definitely should have bought that nunchaku at the store. You really did not need the shiv potion. it was obvious to me at least.

[@m7mdalshatti596]

tbf were a threat that could end the win streak then and there. he also had the entire other half of the game left to find energy, but got unlucky. im not that good so i wouldve taken the nunchakus too lmao

[@gaweindegraaf]

Was this an over explain run?

[@thomasneal9291]

sure seemed like it, but I don't think it was intended as such.

[@codydewees5825]

It seemed like you were crushing every fight until you hit giant head. I guess it seemed like scraping because you prepared for a lot of inopportune elite fights by buying potions

[@thatperson6348]

I am really looking forward to spire 2 content!!!

[@marnixvanderlinden6116]

[@mirage1857]

Is poison the best build for silent? I don't know but I love love love it.

[@Madhatter1781]

In general it's her best damage, but you need to have answers for every check the game throws at you. Donu and Deca are gonna be really tough to stack poison on due to their artifact.

[@mirage1857]

@@Madhatter1781 yeah i've beaten a20 on all expect the purple class. i don't like her.

[@flashtirade]

Poison builds are incredible scaling damage over time but many fights will ask for fast upfront damage instead or have artifacts/debuff clears that hard counter slow poison stacking.

[@vladthedragon8250]

Burst - Bouncing Flask - Catalyst, these three together can make a solid big damage poison answer by themselves and they can go alongside her direct damage due to the density of efficiency.

[@swordzanderson5352]

@@vladthedragon8250 Envenom and Shivs are also a good way to inflict poison while also dealing great upfront damage, but it needs more oomph, which is via Accuracy, Snecko Skull or Wrist Blade

[@n4ttyyy]

So baalorlord also sees shitty relics and cards but still wins .... Guess i cant keep blaming rng at A12😭

[@artikbirazrahatla]

Hey Baalorlord! I strongly recommend to you that you should definetely try a new game called Dice & Fold. Really seems promising and fun! I wonder which strategies you could find there. Cya

Silent is definitely the easiest character for me. Got my first A20 with the silent, while the other characters were only around A10 at the time.

0:33:03 sounds terrifying 👀

[@sadasdafa]

[@thomasneal9291]

Baalor devalues specimen too much here. Hell, he just used it to great effect in a recent run. It was a run built around envenom, but you could say poison cloud is a lesser equivalent.

[@danelyn.1374]

this is a great run but goddamn, title is remarkably inaccurate lmao

[@agentsmith8988]

Dad jokes ftw

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

I think dome is the worst relic in the entire game. I’d rather have anything other than dome. The downside is so massive that it would still be a big downside if you only got 3 turns of not seeing enemy intent.

[@belugahungry]

runic dome is really good if you memorize the enemy intents and the extra energy lets you block more to counteract not seeing enemy intents

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

@@belugahungry but memorizing enemy intents doesn’t count for 1 energy… the relic would have to give 2 energy to even be sort of usable to most people… think of act 2 gremlin leader… either attacking for 30 on turn one or 0…. 1 energy lets you cover that? I died to nem because I didn’t know if it was the 21 hit… the 5 burns…. Or the 45….. it was the 45…. 1 energy didn’t do a single thing for me on that turn…. I blocked with a reasonable amount of cards but if I spent 4 energy blocking for 45 on the off chance it was the 45 I lose anyway…. It’s just not a good relic for 99% of players. It looks easy in baalor’s hands because the posted video is a winning run…. I have almost every single enemy intent memorized but there’s wayyyy too many variables to make the relic good. Like I said it’d be a strong downside if it was only the first x turns of a fight….

[@celebrim1]

Yes, but "Beat of Death" perfectly counters what the Silent does. Imagine a boss that hits you for 20 damage if you don't play at least 6 cards on a turn. Nothing like that exists. But getting punished hard for playing multiple cards does exist.

[@robinthefool8960]

There's also a lot of systems that reward you for playing cards, and she has afterimage, which counteracts beat

[@joeri2499]

Giant head is that test, I think. Rewards card spam over few but powerful cards.

[@cameronschyuder9034]

Transient does, kind of? If each of your cards are low impact damage. Silent doesn't have to have a card spammy deck to win, I think. Burst+, Bouncing flask+, catalyst+ is 5 cards played and applies 216 poison. Assuming you get those turn 1, it's enough damage to kill heart so you just have to block for one heart cycle + beat of death. Which, footwork is enough to negate beat of death damage when playing basic block cards. Another comment mentioned afterimage and 100% agreed on that; one afterimage on lower ascensions makes beat of death irrelevant; 2 afterimages for when beat of death becomes 2.

[@johnm725]

These really need some editing. 30m not even at the end of act 1.
