The coin flip ending!!! That's some good TV

[@cppilgram]

Best ending yet!

[@CzarWarudo]

He can't keep getting away with it

[@panta_rhei.26]

breaking bad reference?

[@le7tfeet]

That and he means that at some point, he cant just keep winning on luck and actually take second to think and read. The running joke of the series (that I know of) is that he makes constant in your face misplays

[@66Seasons]

The running joke of the whole channel is that he makes in your face misplays. Even worse is the fact that he CAN and WILL keep getting away with it, because of the northernlion luck.

Lion Luck is featured in any game NL plays that features any amount of randomness. XCOM, XCOM 2, Slay the Spire, etc. He just gets really lucky on random rolls most of the time. 🤣

[@Hawkster52]

This episode broke Baer pretty bad. NL's main stat is luck though.

[@joehemmann1156]

He rolled a natural 20 for luck and wears luck gear...

"It's not working so let me repeatedly do the same thing over and over" -NL, on Backstab

[@PigeonDetective90]

[@breadbaskets2772]

This is what I do in every game

[@martinbisanz9284]

Honestly I wouldn't have figured backstab out on a run like this, the backstab would've been out after the first fight. The wording is ambiguous

[@Mr1991bbk]

@@martinbisanz9284 how is it ambiguous? +1 dmg when you use an item, pretty self-explanatory lol

[@martinbisanz9284]

@@Mr1991bbk it says: Add 1 dmg on each item use, that could also mean: each time you use Backstab, that's how it's worded ambiguously. That he didn't pick up on how it works, when he was forced to use another item first (on the second fight I think), that's something which will leave me as bald as NL.

[@Marzipaniv]

It isn't about whether Backstab's wording is clear or not. It is all about him frantically throwing threes into it over and over again when it says it deals 0 damage. Then not noticing it increment the one time he uses something else first because the 3 errored.

[@tchen57]

backstab works by increasing damage by +1 for each equipment used per turn

[@sagecraft601]

It should really read "each other equipment used this turn" or "each piece of equipment used this turn", I thought the same as NL the first time I came across it, though a single use taught me the correct way to use it.

[@Anno_AD]

@@sagecraft601 That's one problem with this game, it's so minimalistic in it's item descriptions sometimes you don't know how something works

[@cecilandblues]

Aye, I made the same error in judgment when I took this item. It's a good alternative to Mechanic Arm if you have a set of equipment that returns or rerolls dice (like bump sword/gumball/dopple ect. but I think NL had the right of it to build for burst over constancy.

[@TaggedByTim]

does it really? I thought it was like the other items that the more you used backstab it got a +1. Not it got a +1 for every piece of equipment used

[@XxXasparXxX]

sagecraft601 no, it reads fine. “Increases damage by +1 for each turn you use it” would be the way you and NL understand it

[@michaelricheson849]

18:20 I would have dumped force field because it is a two slot equipment. with the nature of the rules having more equipment plays into your advantage.

[@budspudsy436]

You're right, but force field's total damage blocked probably allowed him to scrape out that victory on the boss.

[@TheJacksonFaller]

he could have at least swapped it for something else for fights where enemies do only poison damage, but I guess it's too much hustle for NL

[@danlongname]

I would argue that using Ray Gun+ first would be better than going for Plasma Blaster first every turn, since that's a -1 card on the board, so more chances that Ruby Weapon get discarded.

[@_Crumpet]

@@danlongname that's a really good point my guy

[@jamma246]

@@budspudsy436 _"You're right, but force field's total damage blocked probably allowed him to scrape out that victory on the boss."_ I doubt it. With two different pieces of good equipment the fight probably would have ended a turn or two more quickly.

[@314Marvin]

Dude that final coinflip that basically decided if the run won or lost was very suspenseful, fun episode :)

[@HellsWolff]

Are we gonna talk about how he just skipped a shop?

[@williammitchell6254]

Nl should have stopped using 6's for plasma blaster because of the ruby weapon

[@dennisuerling899]

If it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid. :)

[@Qril]

Egg. That final fight made me want to cry. You somehow manage to stumble into excellence. I had my money solid on you getting absolutely nowhere on this run, and yet, the Luck of the Lion continues. Bravo.

[@liammorris9372]

NL, backstab’s damage increases when you use your _other_ items. Think of it as doing 1 damage for every item you used this turn. It combos well with the Thief who has a reusable dagger and can make a lot of dice to go into it.

[@goodjuju8198]

Liam Morris to be fair it’s not very clear on what it means in the description.

[@masoudnazemi4280]

@Andres Pena increases 1 on other items use? or something like that. the descriptions are a tad cryptic at times

[@FestusOmega]

@Andres Pena Do 0 dmg. Add 1 dmg on each use of any item.

[@darkblade_113]

@Andres Pena I think something like "Do 0 dmg. Add 1 for each other equipment use" would probably be less confusing.

[@phobiandarkmoon]

@Andres Pena Each OTHER item use this turn is waaaay more clear.

[@just_clayton7633]

Fool NL once, shame on you. Fool NL twice, shame on you still. Fool NL 9 times in a row, back stab must not be functional so yeet it into your backpack forever.

[@Lajinn6]

"This is ten times easier than I thought it would be" ***Queue the pained screams of a bear in the distance***

[@WollyChaps]

Enelle @18:17 - Forcefield, because you can stick healing crystal and doppledice in its spot, giving you 6 pieces of equipment instead of 5 that may be hit by error. It takes the same job as Forcefield And heals poison dmg.

[@srmatt1190]

I dont understand why he kept using the 6 on the second roll when he needs it for Ruby Weapon

[@sariusmonk]

That ending had me actually hold my breath lmao.

[@Bodeification]

Does the exact same thing 5 times in a row and questions why the result is the same, love ya eggy

[@trishhamilton6550]

Holy hell that ending was... harrowing! But awesome! Great work NL

[@CutthroatViking]

After playing Dicey Dungeons some myself and watching NL, I can say the MOST important part of the game is changing your equipment before fights. All damage against Cornelius, no armor vs poison, etc.

[@fallouthirteen]

That had to be the perfect ending for that episode. It all relying on a single 50/50 coin flip, heads he definitely wins, tails he definitely loses.

[@0000crasher]

Brother... if you use it first before you use your items of course its gonna do 0 damage...

[@yewwowduck]

Of all the things to be confused about, that one's fair. I had to actually reason out that that's how it worked, because at first glance it sounds like a self boosting item.

[@spyfreak196]

It said in plain english how it works. I have never played the game once and knew how that equipment worked. Galaxy brain 😄

[@john_titor1]

@@yewwowduck Not to me it doesn't. I don't see how it could be read to infer using items refers only to itself.

[@mongmanmarkyt2897]

@@john_titor1 agree, there are other equipment in game that refer to self-increment VERY directly

24:19 "We don't have burned dice anymore, apparently(?)" - Well, you are not wrong...

[@mrhollw00d83]

Shop, THEN upgrade :)

[@Black-Light]

To be fair that looked like a simple miss-click. Completely skipping a shop and not even looking at what it was selling however...

[@thedarksonic1]

When your on final boss and get 5 errors in a row, then they freeze all your dice and you can do no damage

[@TheBartalamey]

i died because of 6 error rolls on final boss (Shield lady - that can do 16 dmg in single turn), all i were need to do, is to damage her for 2! Omg, if you were there, you would gone deaf of my frusrtation scream. Sorry i need to speak out)))

Northern lion : I think I'm getting pretty good Also Northernlion : rolls sixes, puts them in ray blaster instead of 3/4/5, unlocks ruby weapon next turn... puts in a 4. Hey, why ho shopping! Eyy, going so fast one doesn't even notice ray gun has another use! SAVED BY MAD LUCK, CLEARLY SOMETHING WANTS HIM TO WIN XD

[@PMasterFlex]

Watching Ryab not read Ray Gun is giving me headaches. Gosh 2:25 my prayers are answered

[@dfghhgfd01]

Hey NL, Backstab works similarly to items which grow stronger the more you roll. By using other items/equipment beforehand, Backstab builds up its damage. It is best used as the last move you make.

[@mrdrsuperguy]

The most exciting episode so far in terms of entertainment

[@Waynegameandwatch]

NL miss reading backstab was scary as hell. The run was almost lost in those moments

the backstab and using six for ray gun hurt me so much

[@AsterSea]

NL had a 50/50 shot on the final roll. My God. That was pretty tense.

[@yague123]

Was waiting for the biggest "HES DONE IT" in history.

[@PuchuKt]

It looks like you thought that backstab takes into account the previous turns, but it doesnt

[@Quimper111]

Insisting on rolling 6'es as the no 2 dice when you're supposed to save them for when ruby weapon is unlocked was this runs constant facepalm...

[@theburlywizard]

Besides that backstab confusion, that was a good run.

[@Lardex.Destroyer_of_Beans]

NL, backstab gets plus 1 dmg from each use of another item. So you use it at the end of your turn after using all of your other moves.

[@MsTryana]

There is literally no reason NOT to try for a 6 if Ruby weapon is on 2 nodes. oh man..

[@2GamersAndAMic]

15:00 NL "egg" says "fuck you shop. im taking my apple and leaving"

[@ThatOneSomethingg]

Backstab means you use your other equipment to bump its damage

[@Mr1991bbk]

Oh but it is waaaay too vague and completely incomprehensible (according to most of the other comments at least lol)

[@beardrewsurvival7380]

Its not dumb if it works..... The egg is the luckiest man

[@hockeyhacker97]

29:13 ... My guess is that like the other increase 1 damage per item used "cards" my guess is it gets more powerful if you save it for last and not first, meaning it is a 0-6 damage thing, you have 4 other spells to use first but 1 of those can be used 3 times so 7 uses before it would be 6 damage, so yeah it is pretty weak unless you have a lot of "can be used 3 times" cards, meaning odds are it is useless with that curse) 30:10 ... Yup I was exactly right, it starts at 0 and then increase 1 for every spell you play before it that turn meaning it is great for decks with a lot of "use 3x per turn" but not great for the curse this run has.

[@user-sp6os6tc2r]
