"I'm terrified of slavers" -- Frost seconds before murdering two slavers on turn 1 and killing the last one the next turn

[@cz1822]

The abacus and sundial triggered twice each time you play pommel strike. Since the 2nd draw from pommel strike tries to pull from an empty deck, the relics get triggered again, despite not drawing anything. This doesn’t happen if your hand is full, since the 2nd draw is ignored. That’s why the infinite sometimes didn’t work: his hand was full.

[@kemosonicfan123lbp]

It also stops working if you include a second card in the draw, since now it only needs to shuffle them in once

[@haph2087]

I'd like to explain how the "am I infinite, am I not" thing works. Sundial only gives 2 energy per 3 shuffles, so if you spend 1 energy per shuffle, you are not infinite. Under typical conditions, a pommel strike only can shuffle the deck once, this would cause you to *not* go infinite. But, if your pommel strike is upgraded, your draw pile is empty, and your discard pile has one card in it, this series of events happens: 1) the pommel strike attempts to draw from the draw pile, but the draw pile is empty 2) the draw attempt shuffles the discard pile into the draw pile, and this succeeds, so the draw attempt continues 3) the pommel strike draws it's first card, emptying the draw pile 4) the pommel strike attempts to draw a second card from the draw pile, but the draw pile is empty 5) the draw attempt shuffles the discard pile into the draw pile, but this fails, so the draw attempt terminates. Notably, both sundial and abacus proc twice in this series of events. When the first shuffle succeeds, and when the second shuffle fails. It might be the case that the draw attempt doesn't terminate the card draw, and a card that draws 4 cards played with an empty draw and discard pile would proc these relics 4 times, but I doubt it works like that. I'd guess that once the draw pile sees the discard pile is empty, it moves on to the next thing the card should do.

24:18 Frost casually making the “Madness” pose when talking about taking the card… 🤔

[@jacobziewitz1835]

Ok, so from what I understand of the game mechanics, here's how this infinite works (Using 45:45 as the deck) When you use Pommel Strike, it draws twice. But, if you only have a card in the discard pile, then it has to draw said card twice. This then activates both Abacus and Sundial twice, which means it activates the draw on the discard pile twice. But, if the card was in the Draw pile when you used Pommel, it would only need to draw on the discard pile once, instead of twice, meaning you can't go infinite. Hope this is right.

I know this is from a while ago, but if you kept using the Skill Rage that gives 5 defense when you use an attack, you would keep stacking it while keeping the infinite going, and thus get you to 999 defense significantly faster than just ornamental fan and abacus. Like just using it like 5 times alone would net you 25 defense with every attack in your infinite.

So it seems like it's infinite, but because it's bugged(?), it seems to be triggering sundial twice per pommel, which means your gaining energy, though it seems like it might not be doing that in every fight, or something like that.

[@dantelaviero7782]

I think its because he draws 2, meaning he draws pummel, then shuffles, then cause the discard pile is 0 he shuffles again with the 2nd draw

[@Papada00]

Its not a bug. 1 pummel increase the counter by 2 if the draw pile is 0. Similar to skim draw 4 cards. Increases the counter by 4.

[@Dukerino]

Good video, I liked the part where he played pommel strike

[@MrMaxtremo]

Awesome content. Still unsure about the mechanics of these combos. Does the 2nd card draw of the pommel strike count towards and additional shuffle if you only have the 1 card left in the deck? Essentially I'm asking. Does the Sundial read count a "shuffle" if you attempt to draw a card with no more cards in the deck?

[@wesleyferreira7511]

If you have no cards in the deck and play a card to draw one all the cards on discard pile will go back to your draw pile

[@willfoltz]

You can see when he has nothing but the Pommel Strikes left in his discard pile that he plays one, draws the other Pommel, and the sundial ticks twice; once to reshuffle the played Pommel back into his draw pile so he can draw it, and then again to try and draw a card that doesn't exist (since none are left). Thus he can keep playing the Pommels infinitely since he plays both for 2 energy and then gets 2 energy back. TLDR: Yes if you only have one Pommel in your draw pile and one in hand and at least 2 energy you can go infinite.

[@brentje9759]

@@willfoltz I'm late but to add to this, the one time his combo broke it was because his hand was too full to 'draw from the empty deck'. 23:23. The game doesn't even to attempt to draw the 'empty deck' when his hand is full. Therefore it broke that one time. But yeah absolutely true.

am still confused on how frost gaining extra 1 energy every 3rd shuffle since sundial only gives 2. im new to the game so i don't know much about the relic interaction.

[@naphackDT]

It's a weird quirk of how the game handles drawing more cards from an empty draw pile.than there are cards in the discard pile. Pommel Strike tries to draw two cards from the deck... So it will start attempting to draw the first card. Since there are no cards, the game shuffles the discard pile into the draw pile, triggering the sundial a first time. Then the game tries to draw a second card. Again, there is no cards in the draw pile so the game shuffles the (empty) discard pile into the draw pile, triggering the Sundial again, setting the counter to two. Since the draw pile is still empty, the game now aborts the draw action and only winds up drawing the one card. The next pommel strike will again try to draw two cards from the draw pile but only wind up drawing one, shuffling the draw pile twice in the process. So we spent two mana to shuffle the deck four times, with every three shuffles netting two mana back... So every cycle winds up generating half a mana.

[@perfectimperfections5354]

That was an amazing run

[@pavlik6077]

I'm new to the game, so please forgive my ignorance. I have different doubts about Frost's choices on some things / his way of abusing the infinite setup: 1) at 48:59 but actually even earlier, why didn't he buy / pick inflame or other things that would passively increase once / multiple times his strength ? Wouldn't it just accelerate the unending cycle of pummeling the shit out of enemies ? 2) for the same "speeding up" reason, why didn't he use bash most of the fights before going infinite and debuff his targets? Is it just for the content to last longer or is there actually a hidden strategy I'm not getting? Ty in advance guys

How does the relic that gives mana every 3 deck shuffles work?

[@dorcusss3693]

woah! the deck gets shuffled twice with each pommel strike, when you have achieved the end of the deck! Interesting. I thought since there's no cards in either pile, the shuffle wouldn't happen because there's nothing to shuffle so you'd slowly lose your energy because it would take 3 pommel strikes (equals to 3 shuffles) to get back 2 energy which means 1 energy loss every 3 pommel strikes. It seems I was wrong. I love this game even more now. My eyes have been opened.

[@Papada00]

Yup. The deck will shuffle more when you draw more. For example skim draw 4 cards. So 1 skim increases the counter by 4.

[@pedromiranda1524]

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG!!!!!!!

[@neonoir__]

Could someone explain why the sundial gives enough mana to go infinite?

[@AngelicRamen]

"Every 3 times you shuffle your draw pile, gain 2 energy" I think because pommel upgraded draws 2 cards and he has anger it works? Plus he has offering for energy once in a fight too.

[@MOORE4U2]

Sundial gives 2 Energy per three deck shuffles. When you play Pommel Strike+, it needs to draw two cards. If you happen to have one card left in the discard with an empty deck, it will shuffle that back to the deck and draw the first card. Now, it needs to draw a second card, but the deck is empty. So it shuffles all 0 cards in the discard into the deck, and this counts as a shuffle for sundial's purposes. Pommel winds up shuffling the deck twice. For every two Pommel plays, that's 4 shuffles, so you convert two energy into effectively 2 2/3 energy, plus damage, plus block. Notice how when Frost has a ten-card hand and plays Pommel, he only draws 1 because hand size limit and Sundial only ticks up by 1.
