IT'S RAINING POWERS! | Ascension 20 Defect Run | Slay the Spire

[@mkr4646]

Imagine missing lethal on Turn 2 against the Cultist at 2:10. The run never recovered from there

[@GrandORdEr40]

I feel that most strat games one can easily suffer from “spectator syndrome” (spectator always has the right answer). Always the case playing chess personally unless masters are at the board.

[@jadenrrose]

You're absolutely right. Even in a game between Grand Masters, there could be an International Master or even FIDE Master commentating and they'll often see a better move than the competitor sees, even before consulting an engine. I'm guessing that because the commentator is (or should be) looking at both sides equally, they'll often see ideas develop for e.g. white a move before black notices.

@@jadenrrose there's also just more of them, and they also have the advantage of talking out loud to another expert in real time.

[@pennding3415]

@@soorian6493 there is also a weird phenomenon where the way some one learns to do something blinds them to better ways of doing it. there was one study where they tracked the eye movement of master level chess players and when ever they missed a better move it's because they just never looked at it.

I love the confidence before the darlings “I can take hallways. I heal 9 per fight”

[@goofyrice]

I wouldn’t call them darlings when they do an average of 52 dmg per fight :-/

[@figa5567]

@@goofyrice xD he misspelled darklings, and it was all the funnier for that

Oh my lord, that sinks/holo/defrag turn hurts my head, and I'm not even counting. It definitely paid off though, but man...

Hallelujah, it's raining powers.

Woah that heart fight, wp!

[@bdizzle2144]

You just described my worst fear, brother man. The thought of just losing it one day and never going back to normal is frightening. Sanity is a precarious bitch. Slay a spire, jorbs. Good stuff.

[@Theking0fgg]

This is so cool! Maybe you could make slay the spire school online? That could help so many gamers

[@jorgedasilva7665]

The storm card's upgrade makes it innate. It's almost as if you just bottled a tornado in your storm. ;)

[@alphathehedgehogx96]

Defrag vs Biased Cog: Do you have ways to prevent or remove debuffs reliably? If your answer is yes, Biased Cog is better If your answer is no, you'll go farther with Defrag Really though Most players will probably have the means to deal with the debuff in any serious runs they have

[@jakx2ob]

Biased Cog is still not necessarily worse even if you can't remove the debuff.

[@timpind.8237]

lol what? biased cog is often better even if you don’t get a way to remove your debuff. something to remember about the way biased cog works is that it doesn’t have “four turns before it’s worse than a defrag”, because even when you’ve been hit by the focus down three times it’s still done a ton in the fight already leading it to actually have about five or six turns before it’s “done less” than a defrag, and that’s not even *considering* the fact that you often get much stronger over the course of a fight, making things that give you incredible headstarts early in the fight absolutely incredible even with major drawbacks to try and balance out the incredible benefit it gives you.

[@CountElectric]

Hey Jorbs, I know you get far too many book recommendations to actually read them all but if you're interested in a fun, fantasy romp I suggest Kelly McCullough's Fallen Blade series. Highly enjoyable video, as always.

Love ya Jorbs!

whats the mod that tracks the nr of times a relic has been used / how much damage it has done etc?

[@suuujuuus]

Called info mod. It is not on steam, you have to install it manually

[@theshiveringveil145]

this character seems to be really weak very low max hp, can`t exaust cards, no strength scaling, what is this

[@chaoswalking9170]

yes the defect can recycle and it it also can generate huge amounts of block with good decks and has good energy generation than others void of deva form and i find him quite fun and i does have scaling just in focus and if you have reprogram than strength and dex

[@Ventoms519]

I kinda miss watcher runs edit : also to say that EVERY run can have artifact charges reliably is not the best argument for biased cognition Vs defrag

[@pitmaster226]

Not charges plural. Just one, single artifact charge. Defect has artifact potion, panacea (from stores or sensory stone), clockwork souvenir, core surge, and orange pellets counts as well. It’s a very wide base to acquire debuff clear from.

[@Ventoms519]

but every run is different, and even to assume that you would always get one is very biased (get it?)

[@timpind.8237]

Ventoms yeah, but he’s also made plenty of points to the value of biased cog so many times before that maybe he just viewed it all as common knowledge or not relevant to the discussion at hand.

[@noway4879]

I would watch your content a lot more if it wasn't for the super long thought processes. Your average videos are somewhere between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. I beat ascension 20 yesterday for the first time with the silent. :D

[@friendlyplayer92]

They can be tedious but also thrilling

Watch at 1.25 or 1.5 speed
