Northernlion Plays Dicey Dungeons For A Bit: Axe [9/?]

[@JulianViquez]

7:35 has a four and can use it for eight damage Rerolls and turns it into a 1 instead meaning he can only deal 2 damage Good job egg, you did it again

[@mahasura9667]

he was probably looking for a high odd

[@jamessloan_tech]

He does this on the first fight too

[@panta_rhei.26]

gives up 8 damage for a 1 in 6 chance at 5 shield. while at full hp. classic egg

[@Hephaestus_God]

20:32 just didn't even attack. too many missplays, but that was the most jarring for me. especially with bump. He should of wasted a non 6 on the axe/hammer that way if curse trigger get gets 4 free dice out of bump. Which could lead to more damage over time.

[@IkEisawesome7]

Julian Viquez This made me sad too

[@darthbunnyvader700]

At 20:32 has a 2 to use in battle axe ends turn the 4 dmg forsaken why

[@Jungleman-dq9kz]

It wasn’t “a perfect set up”. Egg doesn’t want your imperfect 2s.

[@darthbunnyvader700]

nooo my 2s being forsaken big sad

NL: * gets a third Battle Axe+ * Also NL: * Doesn't equip all three for maximum meme * Still NL: * Calls episode "Axe" *

[@genyrik35]

Mozumin not even really a meme tbh, w some proper value manipulating cards to accompany them 2-3 battle axes can shred

[@Hawkster52]

NL rushing through things so fast that he has to literally restart the run because he has no idea what's going on since he didn't take the time to read anything is kind of peak NL.

[@convoyxd6268]

20:30 has a two which can be put into battle axe for 4 more damage *skips* OK

Wondering the same, Can use 4 dies. "Lets make mooooore dies, 6 are not enough"

@@jacobkeller863 watching him with silver cauldron on the witch and putting his odd spells in even slots is so painfull too.

[@strifera]

Creating multiple dice lets him keep results so he doesn't have to worry about losing damage. Course the bumps were guaranteed damage so while I'm sure there are edge cases where that keeps you from rerolling bad damage into very bad damage, that ultimate was the sub-optimal play the vast majority of the time.

[@convoyxd6268]

7:30 has a 4. “Reroll” OK...

[@xJoeKing]

He read the onscreen text explaining the rules?!?! WHAT!?!?

[@lifelesslife2651]

this episode reminds me why I didn't watch the eggman till he was at least a few hundred episodes in slay the spire

[@Bearable124]

Yum yum yum, all the frustrations of slay the spire in a brand new spicy format.

[@ALittleMessi]

Why did my mans reroll a 4 on the vacuum fight when he had shield and battleaxe left? Edit: can't even be mad about that because he literally ended turn when he had a battleaxe and a 2 left on wickerman

[@baph42]

If you only have space to use three dice, what's the point in continuing to generate more dice with bump? Figure out what your optimal set of dice is for your equipment, then try to get that. Also - christ it was hard to watch every time you threw away a 6 to the curse.

[@EnderWyatt]

I found out the hard way that you can’t plug 1’s into Counterspell, freeze the enemy, and have their frozen dice be locked. When an equipment says “Roll” it refers to when the dice is made and added to the board, and not when it hits a certain value after being rolled.

[@nanoco1000]

NL still doesn't know curse only affects equipment and not passive abilities

[@jamma246]

Great NL logic: let's only bump 6's all the time to get more dice than can be used, rather than using it to get useful dice.

[@Biomechanic2010]

Northernlion: what can you do? Narrator: He, in fact, did not need to do that

[@IkEisawesome7]

"Bump has failed us every time" Maybe you should try and use that to your advantage!! 15:15 Ayy there it is 21:47 See you think that'd be good. It doesn't work. Tried it on a witch run and found out you literally can't use the dice lock with freeze.

[@BirdRaiserE]

Character abilities can't be cursed, NL.

[@AsterSea]

NL getting into old slay the spire habbits by leaving dice unspent. Slow down, Dad.

[@genyrik35]

Elmore Evans it’s because he makes a million extra dice for no reason and doesn’t effectively utilize his best damage output move (battle axe) that the *entire* freaking level is built around, ol egg boy

[@DrSnap23]

Ok NL congrats on that one but keep in mind that this was an easy one and that some of your plays were painful to watch

[@tmdiz4579]

This guy actually thinks NL reads comments.

[@DrSnap23]

Nah dude I just want my internet points that's all

[@OtakuDono]

It really feels like magic when NL recovers from his stupid mistakes... also, I wonder how much content could one make by roasting him for every mistake he makes while playing.

Welcome to land of wasted bumps, ill be your guide.

[@TheKAIGamesCo]

The disrespect toward Battle Axe in this episode is sickening.

[@chrissloan1011]

please tell me he figures out that combat roll doesn't proc curse

[@ALittleMessi]

You made the comment so I don't have to

[@driver_4151]

And my AXE!

[@Honorablepleb]

25:50 egghead had three attacking equipment to work with, all of which are best with 5 or 6. The first 6 bump was smart since he gets a third die, but then my mans decided to make 3 more ones instead of rerolling and using bumps to achieve max damage. I think I finally understand the frustration people had with early slay the spire since I'm actually playing this game. Egg needs to slow things down

[@GrammasFavorite]

10:25 You feel like sacrificing 2 damage for 5 damage and a shock is a "bit of a wash" eh?.. Interesting.

[@juanjm12]

[@raizusai3213]

Good win but watching all the misplays hurt me deep inside.

[@JordanBl]

I despise NL's usage of Bump. Not because getting an extra die is bad, but because *You only have three things that can use dice to actually do anything why are you trying to make a bunch of extra ones?!*

[@ChibiRuah]

Rule of thump NL, "you dont need more dice than you have equipment that consume them" at least for the warrior. If you have 4 equipment that consume dice, generating a 1 is a waste off of bump. its better to re roll a dice or to bump a number that is lower to one that is better.

[@witchfynder_finder]

It's amazing how differently I approached this chapter compared to Egg By which I mean I just loaded up on attack cards and killed everything before they could do too much damage to me. After the first floor it basically played itself.

[@CastafioreOnYoutube]

[@carl.j917]

So frustrating to see him re rolling the 4's at the beginning.

[@nyon7209]

so fury bump gives you two dice of value X+1... and Fury Bump 6 gives you 2 sixes and 2 ones for the cost of a six?

[@stellavender3351]

Egg, I love you for the pun at 7:02 you're amazing

Have fun. Warrior-3 is Worse Than a Curse.

[@Tapdanceforlife]

Hi NL! Hear me out, if you get bump on the magician you can get an infinite number of dice with the value you want if you learn it on slot number 1 and put it on an upgraded spot. I'll let you figure it out ;) Love the content!

[@caidenw1]

Holy shit, these bumps are the most cursed thing in the world.

[@godlyvex5543]

That bump curse at the beginning. We really need someone to count how many times in a row bump was the thing to get cursed. At some point, failing that many coin flips is absurd.

[@curtisehoffman]

It's hilarious, and I'd be interested to know the odds/how many times that happened, but that really seems like it is broken.

[@polishdot5071]

Curse doesn't affects the character's ability. In this scenario - Combat Roll can't be cursed.

[@lifelesslife2651]

3:21 he could've had lethal without using his fury by using a 2 dice first instead of a four dice

[@graysonguinn1943]

NL's obsession with dice creation continues despite the fact that he only has 3 slots for dice and starts with 4

[@erbs05]

Yes, but now he can lose a six dice to a cursed bump, then reroll another dice twice, get a five, bump it twice and then end up with a six and an one for a total of four dice! At least it purge the curse.

I hope the creator sees this I played the witch and got the spell that “Locks” numbers you put in the spell. For some reason. It locks numbers SOMETIMES but then I’ll lock 6 and the Jester rolled a 6 and just kills me. It happened twice in the same fight.

[@mattiasehatamm181]

This has to be the most painful episode to watch so far

[@Cloudchaser_K]

I think that bump needs to be taken away from the egg. He uses it to get more dice then reroll them instead of making the twos and threes he has into his perfect fours or fives, and leaves himself with less than optimal dice *and* a surplus that he can't do anything with, instead of taking the three or four dice he's given and making the most.

[@jacobc.2456]

Using the ult to double bump instead of doing 16 damage with battle axe... gross.

[@matyaskupka5902]

It was episode 2 again... i... i simply cant, my eyes r bleeding

[@pokemonkey99]

Watching Ryan bump 6s the whole run to what seemed like no end and then doing the same on the boss to reduce the effectiveness of the boss's shock to literally zero and proving me wrong is humbling. Perhaps I can learn from egg rather than just yelling. My world is rocked.

[@napalm777]

a broken clock still works twice a day, literally that is what hes doing. SOMETIMES its a good idea to bump the 6's but he had almost no use for the ones, or the sixes. Seriously with 3 battle axes he could have bumped lows into 3's and '4s and just slaughtered everything.
