Yeah... I don't take ANY trials on that one because the boss is so fucking brutal. It's also difficult because you cant really use any aoe on the boss since you kill the back unit, making the 5x multistrike boss have +2 damage. Idk if its just me, but I think that boss is worse than any of the final boss fights.

For the record the formula you're trying to work out at 7:13ish is (X * X + X) / 2. So (10 * 10 + 10) / 2 = 55. By doubling the stack and going from 10 to 20, the damage ends up being 210, significantly higher than simply double 55.

Ahoy egg, some minor tips from someone that's not necessarily a pro but that recently beat the Imp League (Ascension ranks 1-9): - Play Shadesplitters (Also, not "Shapeshifters" like you've been calling them in the past Umbra video) on the floors with Incant triggers on your units. I know you figured it out, but it'll become important later on. - Abuse Gorgers. Gorging is one of the most powerful mechanics in the game because nothing outside of Sweep enemies can deal with Morsels, and those are rare. Just set up a gorger on floor 3 and by the time the boss gets there (*if* it even gets there in the first place) he won't be able to do much against a 60/60 Damage Shield/Lifesteal 20 Gorger. - Holdover is used on cheap stuff, not expensive stuff (unless that expensive stuff can clear a floor by itself like the Inferno spell from the Hellhorned faction.). A held over 1 cost Crystalis is 50 damage every turn for 1, a Titan's tooth requires a 4 mana investment and 2 turns to reach the same level of DPS. Sure, the tooth is AoE and it gets better the more the fight goes on, but you already had a Frostbite inflicting champion, you don't need to invest that much mana into some meager AoE freeze when one of the Champ's upgrades literally gives it sweep. - Don't get fried by all of the information dump. Later on you started removing lances when you should have been removing the Shadesplitters. Let me be frank here NL, Shadesplitter * sucks * .It's a terrible card you * have * to play to make your Gorgers work, but it's never a card you want in your deck. There's a reason better Umbra cards give you 2 to 4 Morsels at once for the same price of a Shadeplitter, and it's because Morsels suck. Once you topdeck 5 of them during a bossfight on an empty floor, you'll realize that. 6 damage to the first enemy is always going to be more useful than a 3/1, 2/1, 0/2, 0/1 or 0/4 which gives minor buffs * at the end of the round. * Anyways, loving the series, and I hope you keep it going until you reach higher "Ascension" levels, because as a StS veteran I gotta say it gives off the same feeling as tryharding through Ascension. Bye, and congrats on the egg-baby again!

I think NL is seriously undervaluing the Guard of the Unnamed. Incant: Gain 3 HP is fucking nutty when he's blocking for your low HP champion and while I'm only at Covenant 5 right now, if I have one I'm usually very confident Seraph won't get through him. Paired with making minor mistakes like casting spells on wrong floors or placing Overgorger in a way that it can't get Gorge triggers, I think they add up over time and risk your run.

Yeah, sweep and stealth have destroyed me too. Also had one solid run get trashed by the final boss using sap - made the attack of my Stygian champion 0 so he didn't apply any spell weakness which killed my entire strategy for yeeting the boss with 900 damage spells. Still not sure how I could have beaten sap there....think the winning move was to see the boss had sap at the start and hit reset on the run.

Both were upgraded with the +1 capacity mega buff.

You split what you were doing again. It was okay to have one floor the gorger and one floor incant but you grabbed a second gorger, mixed the gorger and incant floors, stopped the gorgers from gorging, and just paniced and didn't know what to do on that last fight. NL, do not take spikes if you have a unit with very low amount of health. Do not mix floors with conflicting goals. And most importantly, you don't need all three floors. If you have two good floors that is usually enough to get through each fight. Also, make sure to please check if you should be incant, you could have saved the guardian at 24:27 if you cast the extra capacity on the incant floor. I was so pogged this episode, was a very good watch. Just trying to get my egg to learn. You've got this!

I really hate to be one of those people - loving the series and I'm absolutely pogged out of my gourd for more. But a tip for NL and anyone else - something I learned with the first trial NL had here with units on all floors. Top 3 units deal 9 damage, middle floor deals 4 damage total to pyre if left to go through. So opening move here better play is destroy the 3 units at the top as it saves more damage than killing the 4 in middle. Don't always get the chance but it's a move I've memorized to make if the chance is there.

Awoken stygian is really strong. Cultivating creates a super beefy shield unit and with the stygian sweep unit with the spell weakness modifier you can easily get 7-8 stacks. The most ive done so far is 600 damage with one spell Advice:egg i think you overvalue paying for remove. A 20 damage fireball that consumes for 20g or making a train steward a good unit for 40g is a better investment then a 50g removal. If you can remove for free thats great but gold is too precious for such a small gain

You had a pretty good thing going with the idea of a durable unit protecting your champion so he could stack up as much frostbite as possible and then a 2nd durable unit on a higher floor to stall the boss while frostbite did its work. The thorns was doom for your build but the multi strike boss there wasn't doing any favors for you either. Thinking ahead to what you want your floors to look like ideally and what alternate configurations of units will accomplish a similar effect will help you long term. I hope you keep having a fun time with the game, I'm really enjoying it myself.

With how bad of a misplay that final fight was, it's surprising how close NL actually came to making it out alive. The frostbite + Pyre would do the EXACT amount of damage to kill the boss if one more turn passed, and the boss hit with his last multihit for the Pyre's exact health. If the Pyre had 1 more hp, it would have finished the boss with the exact damage needed to kill it.

NL should start to focus on basic mechanics of each clan, to trigger gorge you have to put the one who you want to get the gorge stacks at THE FRONT of everyone else, as for overgorger he is pretty good but you should invest on it as soon as possible for it to work. Another thing, the inchant mechanic, its not a must do but you would be better off placing ALL your inchant units on the same floor, for example, you could get armor +3 for your tank, dmg and hp +1 for your siren, and extra frostbite on everyone on the floor with just ONE spell card if you placed them all on the same floor. Triplicating the utility of each spell. Getting those activated in the most resourceful way will make it much easier for you.

The main difference being that Collector just has to live through all the damage coming in then will heal right back up with lifesteal, while the warden loses 1 damage shield for every hit coming its way. Also maybe stick with a gameplan, NL had the opportunity to put +50 hp on his tank but split it up to make them both a bit worse.

Good run for learning honestly. Now you know the front unit eats the morsels, and that trials can be very bad depending on your deck composition. Thorns with sweep and low-health dps is very painful. I like that you were willing to explore some options, though your deck-building was a little confused between incants, frostbite, and gorge units. Generally, stygian wants to sit with a bunch of incants on 1 floor and pop off with spells, while umbra wants to set up 2-3 floors of strong gorge boys with morsel support. They can work together but you have to think about capacity and curate the spells in your deck to consistently get morsels and incants off.

After taking the Overgorger I cringed every time he prioritized the Crucible Warden when it came to morsels. Progressive > temporary. Also a 0/15 unit with 3 capacity is awful! You need to pump it up ASAP! Love the series!

Here's the fallacy with thinking double Frostbite means 4x the damage. In theory, yes, the factorials work out to being about 4x the damage. However, units aren't going to live long enough to get the full effect. In many cases, those getting the effect will only receive Frostbite for three turns. That being the case, Frostbite 10 will deal 27 (10+9+8) damage to the enemy while Frostbite 20 (20+19+18) will deal 57.

You actually could of won this hard, setting up on the first floor and placing that guard of the unnamed infront of your gorging unit were too huge of mistakes to slip by. That and getting greedy with thorns of course, but the difference between now and the beginning of the series is insane Keep up the great work Pog. As a side note, you're right about spending money. You should always buy the first 2 shop upgrades, the 20 gold is negligible and it gives you a substantial increase in power.

To simplify things, If you're hitting an enemy on the first floor with a single instance of Frostbite, they will take (n-1)*3 damage before they reach the pyre (they will take (n+1)n/2 if you manage to burn all the stack somehow) If you can stack n Frotbite in every floor, they will take a little less than 6*n before attacking the pyre - Ok, now back to the video

Spell weakness synergizes pretty great with awoken if you go the route that gets you near infinite stings. That being said, I personally believe the frostbite build for the stygians is way stronger and benefits greatly from the tanky units in awoken.

I love you NL, it's just that sometimes I wish you could hear my screams from beyond the screen 😔 I can see your cerebrum learning real-time though: the cogs are pogging out one seed after another of what inevitably will coalesce into an unprecedented genius strat. The meme historians will forever envy that day, and I'll be here for it.

Egg, that's not what a factorial is. Factorial is the product of all the integers below a number. The formula for summing all of them is (n)(n+1)/2 I believe. *Pushes up glasses*

I'm pretty sure "Eaten" specifies Non-Morsel. Shadesplitter counts as a Spell, which should trigger Incants on the floor you play it on, even if you plan to put the Morsels on a different floor.

Factorial is multiplying all the positive integers below a number, you're referring adding all the positive integers below a number which can be called the nth triangle number. You can Google it if you want an explanation for why it's called the triangle number. You can calculate total damage as n × (n+1) / 2 where n is the starting damage

I absolutely love the idea of the gorger units (especially the damage shield one) but i always find they're too heavy on capacity. like even in umbra with all the capacity stuff I can never really find the room for the morsels after the gorger unit is in front and the dps is in the back. Keep up the great content, brother.
