I got really lucky with my ultimate strength build. Managed to get my strength to 99 and beat the heart in less than 5 turns. If my recorder wasn't acting up, I would have uploaded it. Advice to anyone struggling, a strength build can be made in different ways, but a double strength card paired with any cards that let you return it from the discard pile to hand or deck is an impressive combo. You can create a compound effect that can do over 100 damage with the swing that multiplies 5x strength and add some vulnerability.

@FrancoisMarchant4 жыл бұрын
Beating the heart is more a matter of knowing when you have a chance, and knowing when you have to quit the run and start anew. I've beaten the Heart on Ascension 20 with every character, and I do is basically playing the first chapter when I feel that my Relic+cards combination has actually a decent potential. I don't waste time if i know i'll get beaten by some Chapter 2/3 elite.
@FrancoisMarchant4 жыл бұрын
But recognizing good opportunities and good potentials takes practice. I recommend taking the "starting relic swap" as often as possible (except for ironclad), because having something like a Snecko Eye from the start of the game dramatically increases your chances to build a good deck, and beat the Heart.

@@Greentunic84 There is nothing to lose in Act 1 (unless you want to have a winstreak), so take every chance (damaging events, gamble with the heads, fight every elite possible unless you KNOW you're going to die), rest as little as possible. In Act 2, you have to decide if you're having a good run, and want to play safe, or if your run is average, and you can risk it to force fate into either dying or getting some useful relics/cards.

Go for elites for relics, build a deck around those relics or orange labeled cards. Don't make your deck overcumbersome, either choose the right cards for your build or skip the ones you see. Use the card removal service often and use them on the starter cards so the cards you need in battle cycle in more often.

I got tired of getting my ass beat by the heart and decided to look up a build and this video came up. I managed to get a win the run immediately after watching this somehow, haha. Similar idea but no Snecko Eye or Juggernaut. Instead my damage came from two stacks of Fire Breathing (20 damage total per debuff drawn) and a ton of Power Throughs to up my Barricade block and generate wounds for Fire Breathing. I also got lucky enough to get 3 Entrenches and was able to remove so many cards that I only had 14 cards in my deck.

Hey ! Blocking ironclad is IMO the most reliable archetype for the Ironclad, considering the only essential card is Bodyslam, and it's a common card (so very easy to have at least one, and often multiple).

While poison decks are the best archetype for Silent (Shivs suffer from the 1 damage per card status too much), killing the heart in 2 turns is just impossible. He has 750 HP, and cannot receive more than 300 in one turn. You need 3 turns to kill him (this is why you can't use the infinite claw + unceasing top on him).

How did you survive the early game? With that many relics, it looks like you must have fought every elite possible and your only damaging card is single body slam. With so many enemies that increase their strength every turn, a boss that could steal your one damaging card, etc., it seems like they'd overwhelm you before you could get to the end.
@FrancoisMarchant4 жыл бұрын
You don't really need a good deck to beat chapter 1, the real challenge is chapter 2. Check my starting relics, and you'll see that by the end of chapter 1 i had : - Icecream - Upgraded skills (super early, that was amazing) - +1 Dex - Immune to weak - Resistance to vulnerable (from the mushroom event) - 4 mana My first 3 relics really defined the deck, as they are such good relics for a blocking deck, so i could start refining my deck very early. I then played a safer chapter 2 (because i knew i had a good start and didn't want to throw it), facing only 2 elites, then got snecko eye, which is so insanely good in that deck that at that point i'm unbeatable. So in the end i greeded chapter 1 like hell, got lucky, decided to play a safe chapter 2, got extremely lucky on the snecko eye drop, and steamrolled chapter 3.

Boss is impossible if you don't have some sort of barricade/reliable blocking. If you do, it's easy. I don't like how anti "damage decks" the boss is. There is no way you can burn it down in time and stay alive.
@FrancoisMarchant2 жыл бұрын
I don't think that's entirely accurate. This boss does have anti-combo mechanics that make it immune to Infinite claw decks, for instance. However, a claw deck with some intangibility is perfectly valid. And while having good defense is wise against the Heart, a lack of damage/scaling is just as penalizing, because the Heart scales very fast. I think the Heart is basically a boss that asks you both "Can you survive big bursts for a few turns ?" And "Can you kill me before i scale out of controle ?"

yo how did you do to get such a clean deck I end up with like 45 cards and can't get a consistent hand
@FrancoisMarchant4 жыл бұрын
Hello ! Couple things to answer that question : - You should get rid of all your starting cards by the end of a run. Removing cards is extremely important, and starting cards are almost all terrible. - You shouldn't pick cards because they are "good". You should pick them because they fit nicely in the deck you have. - Every card you add reduces your chances of having the other good cards you have. Always have that in mind : is picking that extra card worth reducing the chance of picking the others ? The problem is the first stage : you have no idea what you're going to end up with, and you have to pick cards blindly. What i usually do is pick the first "deck-defining" card or relic (Juggernaut, for example, is a stapple for blocking decks), and build around it. Always have an archetype deck in mind, and only add cards that are good within that archetype. Hope that helps.

@FrancoisMarchant4 жыл бұрын
20 cards is actually quite a fat deck. In Slay the Spire, the more cards you have, the more you depend on luck, because the more your starting hand can be subpar, potentially ending your game. That's why the Peace Pipe is such a great item, it allows you to create perfect decks (ones where you ALWAYS draw the same cards : cards that make you win). In theory you want to have no more starting cards in your deck at the end of a run, but that's really theorical. Starting cards (strikes and defends) are inferior to EVERY OTHER CARD in the game, so always get rid of them when you can (at every shop, if possible, and every event that proposes it).
