[@mrlama1993]

One thing to watch out for on the sentry fight is that the conventional play (focus damage on the lowest health sentry on the left or right) isn't always the best move if you have conclude+wrath (for Ironclad immolate is somewhat similar but it depends on the deck if its viable). Killing the center sentry puts you in a position where you are likely to get lethal on one or both of the other sentries on the next turn(depends on deck so YMMV), especially if you can get an attack off on the right or left sentry on the first turn before you conclude.

[@kimgallagher1177]

Slay the Hallway

[@quickshot305]

am i crazy in thinking that he overvalues the plated armor on wish? 4 strength on an upgraded wish means 8 strength in wrath and 12 on divinity. with ragnarok this is like 40 extra damage on wrath and 60 extra damage on divinity when the card is unupgraded. ofc i can see situations where 8 plated helps out like not needing defends on a turn where the enemy does 8 damage but i feel like it'd be better to click strength more often to end fights faster feel free to correct me if i'm wrong here though, i'm not too knowledgable about the mechanics of slay the spire. i'm assuming strength gets added before wrath/divinity multiplies the damage

[@yogurtchewer3747]

Yes you're correct, watcher in particular benefits from strength disproportionately. Also upgraded ragnarok gets 48 and 72 bonus damage. He's lazy with his math and risk averse so he plays too safe in general because clicking wrath feels risky when you don't know how much damage your cards do.

[@NeoBoneGirl]

@@momoaa He could kill the guy though. He just took like 20 damage on that fight for no reason.

[@mrlama1993]

It's usually the correct play to go for the left or right one to avoid a 20 damage turn, but in the case of the apotheosis run you're 100% correct. The other two would have been on 13 because of conclude and it would have been an easy strike vigilance and he wouldnt have taken 27 damage for no reason. Edit: ran it back and if he used strike+ on the center sentry it would have died and the right sentry would have been on 3, not 13.
