I use a few mods for Slay the Spire. All of them are Quality-of-Life improvements and do not have any effect on the gameplay. Here are all of the mods I have active:
Slay the Relics Exporter, used for the live stream: steamcommunity...
Relic Stats, to keep track of how many times the relic effects happened: steamcommunity...
UI Sliders, to reposition the Discard and Exhaust piles, so that they are not hidden behind the camera: steamcommunity...
Run History Plus, giving us more info in the Run Summary screen about the run: steamcommunity...
Map Marks, for path highlighting - here, typically, Green means an easy, intended path, and Orange or Red means a harder path that I might take if I get good rewards: github.com/cas...
Even though I do not use it, I recommend Minty Spire for people looking for various Quality-of-Life improvements: steamcommunity...

I never get tired of how willing Baalor is to share his knowledge. Best part of this channel.

[@MikeSchmidt969]

I never even considered giving up HPs for energy. What a fool I've been! Anyone else have to pause the vid every millisecond to see Baalor's plays? His voice may be smooth, but his play is like lightning.

[@SwogFrog]

3 months ago, but god damn- Not only is his brain fast as hell, but it's goal oriented AND flexible. Plus he goes out of his way to be considerate. Some people just really do just have it all.

What I took away from this most is I severely underestimated how good the exhaust cards are. I thought they were bad and never picked them. How foolish.

[@ZAWARUD00]

Thinning the deck allows to cycle faster, just as drawing cards.

[@mindseyemusicreview]

Turn 1 I got berserk from neow. Never picked it before because I didn't realize the vulnerable would dissipate. Show how expiramenting can really help

[@mjonkey3218]

I’ve started putting on your videos as background noise. I just love that buttery voice and satisfying sounds of expert gameplay

[@slurpleslixie]

@52:30 that's not true, Iron Wave is also affected (directly, no less) by both Frail and Weakness. Though if you only play A20 I can understand forgetting it even exists.

[@Roberto577_One]

I think he meant in a multiplicative sense, since, as an example if you play impervious + body slam, you get 40 block from impervious and 40 damage out of the body slam, but with weak + frail you get 30 out of the impervious, and 22 out of the body slam, whereas with Dash/Iron Wave, both stats get on either card only get reduced by 25%.

Man I really wanted to see the thumbnail actually be done.. I know you don’t like heavy blade so I was curious to see you use it.. too good to be true! 😩

[@shiftoff9936]

its funny to imagine the ironclad turn into a literal demon just to pommel strike and drop kick someone in the face over and over

[@travisthompson1679]

Berserk is one of the most slept on cards. It does really need the upgrade, but you can often find a turn to play it where it won't hurt you. Also, just ask if you would be willing to pay health for energy. If you like Bloodletting then you should like Berserk.

[@voblep4o]

No limit break , no heavy blade , no prismatic shard . Jebaited ?

[@Baalorlord]

Sorry for that. We've updated the title and thumbnail

[@Not_Important75]

I got my first infinite today on watcher! Thanks for always posting fun videos to play along with

[@insobyr9779]

reminds me that I had a run with barricade, second wind and tons of card draws, 999 blks turn 1 or 2, fun time

[@bnbronstein]

I dont normally skip ahead, but at 14:40 I had to check at the end to see if you ended up getting the full omelette

[@djyankees002]

Feeling extremely jebaited by the thumbnail tbh

[@Baalorlord]

Sorry for this. We've updated the title and thumbnail

Enjoy the vacation, Baalorlord

[@vuminhdang5724]

Man that start to the run felt so satisfying. Insane payoffs with good early choices.

[@jadenschulz1004]

That slime fight was crazy, man greeded down to 1 hp for the biscuit on A20 and got it without breaking a sweat

[@Krossfyre]

I think you used the wrong thumbnail for this.

[@Baalorlord]

Yes, it's updated now

[@DanBottiglieri]

I think you really should have taken that Evolve+, would have made it so much easier to cycle through the deck.

[@ShadyNetworker]

Hey did you set a seed on this run? The lineup of relics is just CRAZY!

[@robinthefool8960]

Good seeds thru volume, lol

[@redford4ever]

I can't make sense of you destroying your own cars while your deck is being filled with dazed in the Sentinel fight oO

[@jjrulez1596]

Could be wrong, but basically sinced the dazed exhaust themselves its better to exhaust the strikes/defends to make it more likely you draw a non strike/defend (ie hand of greed)

[@redford4ever]

@@jjrulez1596 That would apply in a context were 1.5 dazed by turn isn't added to the deck (or 4.5 for the first turns). I can't see it apply here. You want to have anything to spend your energy in, even basics.

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

@@redford4ever I know you don’t understand it but he’s correct it was because they exhaust themselves so he wanted to go ahead and get rid of them even though you could have taken it either way. Once the dazed exhaust you don’t have to try to get the cards necessary back in your hand in order to exhaust.. it’s already been done.

[@redford4ever]

@@HardxCorpsxKali I do understand that mechanic and as opposed to you I quantify its effect. It's not appropriate when your opponent add junk cards every turn to your deck. FWIW I have 1K+ hours of /played in the game and more than that of stream watched. Are you in that league to be so cock sure about getting this better than I do?

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

@@redford4ever no I think you misunderstand. I was only implying in my text that both of you were correct and either way you slice it is the correct action. So I was actually saying “you’re right and he’s right.” Because either way you do it gives you a favorable outcome. The fight he was in was so simple he didn’t need to min max in order to win. At most he was looking at a possible small amount of hp loss if it were to bite him for the play he made so I’m assuming he just made the call knowing the outcome was closely the same. If he didn’t add dazed cards to his deck he would have his undesired cards. If he adds them then he will just work around them. Same result in the end. But man 1k hours played is some serious dedication. I only have less than 50 played and I just play casually and only play my favorite cards and characters. I never try to do op builds like him. I just Like to have fun with it and if i win I win.

[@Nawk32]

How was he able to draw cards after using battle trance??

[@Asssosasoterora]

What would happen if you did not pick up emerald key after fighting the super elite in act 1. Would the super elite respawn in the next act?

[@umayeren9733]

The super elite appears in every act until you defeat it yeah Edit: oh sorry! Misread. If you don't pick up the key it's probably just gone but never did this so don't know

[@TheOberknecht]

Yes, it respawns.

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

I’m going to try this sometime. I have no idea what would happen.

[@voidify3]

Yes it would-- the game checks whether you're carrying the key to determine whether to spawn a burning elite when starting the next act

[@SheyD78]

Baalor goes beserk on the spire!

[@JMAR_GAMES]

So for this infinite, all you need is a way of inflicting vulnerable, Dropkick, and either Pommel Strike or Shrug It Off?

[@belicose9]

Technically correct but he relied a lot on Sundial to add energy. That was how he was able to play Shrug It Off and Pommel Strike without eventually running out of energy. Dropkick refunds an energy allowing it to go infinite on its own but the added draw of Pommel Strike and the Block plus draw from Shrug it Off also came in handy. Especially Shrug it Off against heart.

[@Saetanigera]

I think he avoids Juggernaut and 2 shrug it off as boring, but it nets infinite damage and block with sundial

[@leonardoplaza7677]

Did SLS changed the difficulty? I'm on ascension 16 and the enemies (even the regular), hit harder than what I see in your videos at ascension 20. I get regular fights with multiple enemies hitting 12-18 on turn one.

[@NickKrishnan]

Balancing hasn't been updated in years, make sure to check on whether you're vulnerable

[@dragonspight]

Regarding Max HP run, wouldn't something like 5 or so disarm casts allow you to stall malleable for max Max HP from Periapt?

[@KrivitskyM]

Yes in theory, but it will eventually die as you are hitting it.

[@dragonspight]

@@KrivitskyM You don't have to hit it, though. None of its abilities would deal damage, and curse can show up normally

[@KrivitskyM]

@@dragonspight Well, you are right, but I just opened a wiki: unfortunately, the move to add a curse can only be used once. No infinite health :(

I'm trying to install Map Marks, but I don't know what this means. "Put the downloaded JAR files into your SlayTheSpire/mods directory, and be sure to enable them both once you launch Slay the Spire with mods." How do I find the mod directory? Usually I just subscribe to mods from the Steam workshop.

[@jdblick1002]

C drive>program files>steam>steamapps>common>slay the spire>mods. If no mods folder exists. create one and put Mapmarks.jar in there. next time you start the game, click the mapsmark mod checkbox to activate it
