I feel like you should rethink snap picking perseverance every time you see it. Have been noticing that almost every single time you draw perseverance you have to play it to have enough block. So it is usually just a defend. Which doesn't seem worth picking up.

I like pers for time-keeper, which is probably the only thing you should be worrying about if you play watcher properly and are infinite by act II

[@KGafterdark]

@@still_standing7 Apologies, meant the way that wins

[@KGafterdark]

@@GarudaRamudasRumpusRoom Well it's not like an infinite is a free win on A20. You still need to look for potions, have a way to deal with status cards, you need to worry about the turns before you can go infinite and you need to have measures to deal with the heart and time keeper. If it wasn't the best strategy OR if it wasn't at least a bit challenging to go infinite with her, I wouldn't be at least attempting to go inf with her. I wouldn't say it's "forcing" as much as you're ensuring that when the opportunity comes, you can actually go infinite (less than 10 non-exhaustible cards, rushdown, talk tua/mental fortress, etc.)

I don't get it. This is beyond simple inexperience. It's such a fundamental mechanic of the watcher. No way it isn't engagement farming man

[@hushpuppi3]

@@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX I mean I think he's just enjoying himself and not taking it too seriously. He COULD pour over every piece of math, every calculation, and triple check his preplanned moves, but its probably just more fun for him to play the way he is. (also he's probably rushing so each run doesn't take like 2 hours)

[@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX]

@@hushpuppi3 But he literally does exactly that sometimes. He'll stretch a fight like 6 extra turns to lose some exactly some of health to trigger meat on the bone. And he's more than capable of doing the math, he's done math at crazy speeds before, most evidently on Defect but he has as well with Watcher. Also this isn't even complex math though. It's basic card order. At least he seems like he's noticing it more... after the fact

[@joosthartog1333]

​@@para-logiavery wrong. If you kill both the minions round 1 he has a 75% chance to rally new gremlins. Keeping up a gremlin greatly increases the chance of him hitting turn 2. If im not mistaken the chances to hit with a gremlin up go to 50%, basically doubling the chance u get hit from 25 to 50% by not clearing.

@@joosthartog1333 I'm talking about the timestamp given when he was already being attacked. Obviously he could've made better plays earlier in the fight

@@para-logia that makes 0 sense to me. U responded to a comment from someone saying he let the gremlin walk at his own detriment with he was dead regardless. Maybe i missread. But im pretty sure the original poster was talking exactly about the turn before and timestamped the consequence. You got any other reasonable explanation? Did he let the gremlin leader walk at his own detriment? Seems like a strange reading to me considering the actual situation that happened.

After 2 weeks stuck at A14 i beat it a few days ago and then beat A15 first try by taking "Loose 6 max hp to choose a rare card" at the start. I chose alpha and built a defensive deck around it.

Get alpha early and build a tight defensive deck around it before you have picked up too many attacks feels so good.
