This man continuously using 4s in polar star while bump is available just to bump for 1 extra damage in broadsword or 1 tick of staff is killing me

[@magicianvv489]

Egg almost never putting 5's into polar star or using fury on it, was making me smh

[@mongmanmarkyt2897]

that was an extra 4 damage in most cases

[@Sagemel]

Last Stand getting cursed might be the funniest thing I’ve seen this game do

[@ALittleMessi]

Once he got blinded first turn it was fun to watch him guess what the value was, when singer made it the same. My man puts more brain power into that than some moves which actually require it

Is it just me or has spiked shield REALLY worn out it’s welcome?

[@godlyvex5543]

I don't understand why you like bumping blind dice so often. You've said it yourself, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. You'll always use visible dice before the blind one, so bumping what you know you're going to use is better than bumping the backup that might not be used.

[@fallouthirteen]

The really weird thing with bumping was when he had three 4s and bumped two of them to put into staff and then put his leftover 4 into his Broadword (when the right answer is put the two 4s into staff and double bump the remaining to a 6 to put into broadsword). I don't even speculate as to why he thought what he was doing was right.

[@kylethescientist]

@@fallouthirteen He's too used to playing thief/jester where more dice means more damage. He goes for quantity over quality every time

[@TheFrank092]

I was going to say the same, why does he choose to use the blinded one instead of the visible one so often? Oh right, cause he its nl

[@ElGiganto17]

@@kylethescientist You would think that, but at 41:00 he has a 6 and a 3. Instead of bumping the 6 and rerolling the resulting 1, he just rerolls his 3. With my way, you have the extra dice and you can put that in broadsword, no matter what the dice is. The 6 and 3 are used on staff. What ended up happening, is that his 3 became a 1, he bumped his sixes after that and had three ones left. So he pretty much had the same value in his dice, despite being able to guarantee a higher roll. And it's not like he valued quantity here, because his way didn't actually result in more dice (except for maybe that extra one, but he didn't intend that at all).

I wonder why he was so against upgrading Katana on that run when it would have fixed the issue of 5s being so useless (which he frequently ended up rolling).

[@kruppy0463]

I was thinking the same damn thing. He missed out on so much dmg and wasted the upgrade on a situational item

[@TheShut1]

On the boss fight using staff with freezing would save NL. He already did enough damage so the burn didn't matter but turning that six into one could have helped him get the win.

[@marcosd4402]

The misplays on the last couple enemies and the boss really made me sad because it was so close it felt like they really had an impact

[@ZeroNumerous]

Even if he had played optimally on turn 2 and Fury'd Broadsword for 10 damage he's still 2 damage off lethal with his rolls.

[@santiagofreytes3178]

he did miss 4 damage turn one against the boss and the fight eneded with just 5 hp left if he missed something else he could have won

[@Zebo12345678]

@@santiagofreytes3178 If he played optimally on turn one, he would have done the same rerolls, then be left with a 6, a 3, and three 2s. 3 gets bumped twice and put into polar star. 10 damage. He plays the 6 and the 2 in staff. 8 damage and 1 burn. He puts a 2 in broadsword for 5 damage. 10 + 8 + 5 = 23 damage and a burn. The play he did was put a 3 in polar star for 6 damage, put a 6 in broadsword for 9 damage, and used the rest for staff, for 8 damage and a burn. 6 + 9 + 8 = 23 and a burn. No matter how many times I calculate it, he actually got the exact same damage out of his play on turn one. As for turn 2: Optimal play is to bump a 2 to a three, fury the broadsword for 10 damage. 6 and 4 go into staff for 3 damage and a burn. 10 + 3 = 13 damage and a burn. NL's play: Bump into a 3 and fury it in staff. 6 damage and 2 burn. Rerolls another dice into a 2 and puts it in broadsword. 4 damage. 6 + 4 = 10 damage and two burn. Since she used both burn, that puts the total damage for turn 2 at 15 for optimal play, and 14 for NL play. Missed one damage Finally for turn 3: Optimal play is to fury 5 into polar star for 20 damage, reroll the 1 into a 3 for broadsword, dealing 5 damage, and put everything else into staff, for 3 damage and a burn. 20 + 5 + 3 = 28 damage and a burn. Audrey again plays the burned dice, so that's a total of 30 damage. Surprisingly, NL did the optimal play that turn. Unless I'm missing something, NL _actually_ only missed 1 damage that fight, and would have lost even if he played perfectly.

[@DigiRafael]

@@santiagofreytes3178 But if he didn't play badly against the Gargoyle he could have used Fury in turn one against the boss.

Nah, Audrey just destroys him with weakness and decent rolls. Got countered, nothing he could do but hope to luck out.

I desperately want NL to have someone on a call with him while he plays this. There's just tons of little mistakes that are adding up, and I don't think he'll recognize them.

[@Zebo12345678]

I've thought the exact same thing. Like, he doesn't need someone to play the game for him, just someone to tell him when he's obviously missing things, or when he makes really bad misplays.

lmao lemme just skip any defense so i can uhhhhh die

[@WeirdBlueMan]

Anyone else notice that NL completely forgot about the singer role and saw his blind dice on turn one and was like “I don’t know what this is”

[@IndelacioLetsPlay]

NL you had the "all dice rolls are the same" and blindness, so obviously you know the initial role of the blindness, but didn't catch on. Though freezing seems to counter the dice rolls all being the same which is strange (and not just by turning them into ones it just defeats the matching entirely)

[@quirtella]

Meow at 13:41 was adorable

[@DrSnap23]

This episode was actually great to learn what to NOT do with Bump

[@williammitchell6254]

Honestly threw, never used polar like he should have bumping a blind dice and then throwing it into staff instead of killing

[@fallouthirteen]

It was really weird to watch. Like I know he plays too fast and just doesn't look at things, but I don't think I've ever seen him so hyper focused on one singular thing (the staff) that he goes out of his way to misplay it (putting more count into it than the remaining counter on it).

[@Zebo12345678]

He didn't throw. He entered the boss with full health, so nothing that happened before then mattered. It all boils down to the boss, and he only actually missed one damage. His plays weren't great, but I did the math using optimal plays. Even with perfect plays, he lost that boss fight. Her rolls were better than his.

[@DarklinWolf]

Despite all those misplays, the one thing that did that run in was the classic mistake of bringing too much big equipment vs. Audrey.

[@JBobbyB]

The rock does work properly. Last time the enemies had the re-use ability. Though it might be available next turn if weakened and used.

[@pokefreakplays]

I actual could watch another hundred episodes of this.

[@mariussuditu1070]

The misplays on the first turn on the gargoile fight actually made me punch my wardrobe by accident. NL please use the egg

[@Marzipaniv]

Oof that last fight "I'll just upgrade this 6 to make ones so staff is easier to use" wat?

[@tristanstrain9751]

I did the math, and getting staff to work using that tactic actually gave him 4 more damage than if he used max polar star. Actually, 6 more damage because of +2 to burn.

[@fallouthirteen]

I was trying to think through that myself. I mean yeah it wasn't a bad move, but the logic behind it was awful (he didn't have to get ones, he could have bumped something else which would have been more versatile and come up the same in the end). It wasn't a bad play exactly, but knowing NL, him seeing it work there will make him think it's the best play in every situation.

[@isingra]

@@fallouthirteen Gotta give it to NL on this one, that was actually the right play

[@TripleGia]

I knew Last Stand would end up cursed. I fucking knew it. And I still laughed my ass off when it happened anyway

[@originalkhawk]

that smile on his face when he got staff to work because the 2 extra 1's he created with bump, if only he realized that bumping a 2 to a 3 and then to a 4 would have given the same result

[@ElPared]

The biggest misplay was not taking the Drake curse. 20% HP is nothing compared to having blinded HP in a run where you take damage for overkilling.

[@Vicerion17]

He lost all because of his extremely poor play but is going to blame it on his equipment, meaning it'll b even more likely he'll continue to only use the same 4-5 same pieces of equipment every run because he's so afraid of losing that he never takes anything new. This is why I looked forward to the Inventor, it forced him to actually use equipment he would otherwise never even consider. And please, stop suggesting the game is unenjoyable every time you lose. I get it, losing sucks sometimes and worse yet you're a KZbinr so you're always partially distracted with comment, but if you stopped and put even a little thought into your decisions you'd be far more likely to win even in difficult situations and thus gain more enjoyment out of it. (e.g. The Isaac's heart and IV bag Eden run from the other day.)

[@seashake]

I would have been so upset if NL won this. He played terribly for these two runs: not realising that the blind dice was exactly the same as the others for most of the second run, not using polar star as often... it was awful

[@Biomechanic2010]

You're like a politician- just go with whatever you want to be right despite the evidence to the contrary being there for you to see if you were only looking for it. Here's a tip- start with comparing every action to a 1 to 1 damage scale. Decide on your equipment and actions with how much you can skew that ratio in your favor. Like 2x damage is always the first place to look! Upgraded broadsword only gets you there on a 3 or worse! Staff never will. This isn't the only consideration but it's a better place to start than what you're doing, which is playing "validating boomers," where you play like a stereotypical millenial, blaming all your problems on your environment instead of your agency within it.
