[@runt9plays967]

If you ever wondered how much NL is enjoying making Spire content right now, I think the fact that my man is out here on Saturday, his day off for his whole career, in the Spire mines giving out A+ content tells you all you need to know. He's in deep and I, for one, am so here for it

[@williammitchell6254]

Remember when we wanted to to make it a series after it showed up on the nlss. I was scared he was gonna cancel. Until he said the was playing a ton off camera.

[@caminator77]

S TIER title my man. Winning the algorithm and my heart

[@NicolaeHolley]

One fun thing you can do with Blasphemy is try to find Fossilized Helix. The "die next turn" from Blasphemy isn't some kind of instant-kill effect, it's 99999 damage dealt as a single hit. As such, the Fossilized Helix negates it.

[@DTPandemonium]

Not only that but intangible also makes it do 1 damage only so taking that one event can be considered and of course the intangible relic.

[@PickShark]

One day NL will realize how insanely strong the eruption upgrade is. Especially early

[@leadluigi]

You’re talking about the man who refused to upgrade Neutralize.

[@Pyronar]

44:20 How NL gets your heart racing with just three words: "or vice versa". I knew the video was long enough that it wouldn't happen, but I still immediately got the panic image of him playing Blasphemy into Empty Fist and exiting Divinity so that the strike can't get the kill and he dies next turn. Still absolutely loving the content btw, this is not a complaint.

[@beavenjnr4187]

same at 57:30 and i cldnt see the video length so i was sure he was done for. thank god the math ddnt add up even way

[@Glep444]

but it is vice versa? empty fist first doesn't cause him to miss lethal i think, since the strike would do 12 and he had 3 hp

[@cassiuskurei]

1:01:06 When he was fighting the intangibility elite and he kept trying to do the math for Blasphemy while not acknowledging that Tantrum would take him out of Divinity

thanks for more slay the spire and also coming up with the totally not slept on video titles

I'm pretty sure the math being done around the 58:00 mark didn't account for the fact that Tantrum exits Divinity into Wrath. Also, I was nearly screaming "play the Flurry first!" before Blasphemy.

really glad NL was 1 gold too short to buy both clockwork souvenir and duality- the artifact from clockwork souvenir would instantly be used to remove the "dex down" debuff from the first duality proc, making those two relics a very expensive 1 dex bonus.

[@NathanNathanNathan]

His play is getting more and more pogged, but the way NL tunnel-visioned on Busted Crown instead of the double effectiveness on potions relic hurts

[@RGLG4life]

i wanna share something with you regarding the "Tantrum card". now, i am no Jorbs when it comes to STS but i feel that tantrum is such a good card for entering wrath simply because it goes back into your draw pile. Think of it this way - you have a 15 card deck, and you feel that you need 2 wrath enablers, so when you will get to 30 youll feel that you need 4 wrath enablers and so on, but because tantrum goes back to your draw pile it comes up multiple times and kinda acts as more wrath enablers the more cards you have in your deck (kinda). i feel that an early tantrum is a great pick if you're going for stance bouncing or just need wrath enablers.

[@yamlynn]

Loving the STS content NL! This deck was a heart killer all day!

[@cheshirecat7838]

I don't know if you'll come across this or if you'll ever get a chance to put this into practice but Blasphemy kills you by giving you a debuff that kills you with 9999 damage so you can dodge it with either an artifact or intangible. So if you're running Blasphemy you should accept that ghost apparition event that halves your max hp

[@mawillix2018]

Not with an artifact, sorry.

[@aBlackMage]

What@@mawillix2018 said. The reason for this behaviour is that the game considers "die next turn" a buff, which is a mood and a half

[@deadbatteriesfreeofcharge438]

Let’s go, boys! Lesson Learned run means he *has* to upgrade eruption this time!

[@BenjaminBot]

I throughly enjoy when this channel becomes a finance one.

Lovin this new spire content! You should try out duality and orange pellets the next time you get the chance. Being able to keep some of the dexterity for duality ends up being incredibly useful

[@Scarylatinword777]

[@DForSpiD]

Probably keep in mind that the boot is also good for the Nemesis fight and things that do multiple hits like Tantrum

[@scottm2476]

The main issue is that unless your deck gets super mega bodied by nemesis, it’s just not worth the amount of gold you pay for it.

[@AcidburnHckr]

I was extremely concerned that he would do it and learn the hard way that divinity is just a stance like all the others and will be swapped. Hopefully he took this comment and internalized it. I would hate to see him lose when putting in so much effort and doing the math.

I think you're sleeping on rushdown that card is broken especially with tantrum and calm enablers because you can tantrum to draw into tantrum and just generate so much energy

[@mudmudmudmudmud7605]

Nice run!

[@greasysteve3411]

Divinity run pog

[@VidyeoGamerer]

Blasphemy Rare 1-cost +Retain: Enter Divinity, Die next turn. Opinion: probably one of the best divinity enablers in the game, since things like prayer, prostrate, and worship have the downsides of being mediocre plays, even when upgraded. The most notable downside is that it's more often a bad pick than the other mantra cards when you play stance switching decks, but this surely takes the cake in OTK decks since it negates the need for any other mantra gain. What do you guys think of Blasphemy?

[@scottm2476]

Basically extremely good against everything bar transient and the heart, so if you plan on trying for heart kills you still need a backup plan or a couple really good potions. you can also use incense burner( on 5 when you play it) or fossilised helix to save you from death, allowing you to leave enemies at low health for lesson learned. I think the reason it is so good is because of smites and other retain attacks, allowing you to play all your damage in one turn.

[@Sagemel]

[@amaro6603]

lets goooooooo

[@violetstarsign]

I honestly think Duality was a bad pick here, because it anti-combos hard with Signature Move. With Signature Move, you want to cut as many attacks as possible and stuff the deck with skills, which makes Letter Opener a good choice. Conversely, Duality wants you to spam cheap/free attacks ad nauseum, which makes Signature Move a dead draw. But then, perhaps it's simply that there exist two different runs in this seed and they are both okay? Hmm, almost like some kind of duality...

17:30 NL could kill him with signature move, thanks to pen nib active

[@boshtet8542]

He couldn't play the Signature move though because he had attacks in hand (Eruption and Tantrum) and playing either gets rid of pen nib therefore it's no longer lethal damage on the boss.
