Slay the Spire - Northernlion Plays - Episode 112 [Flechettes]

[@crazedpostdoc]

Did egg just learn how too zoom in and now he wants to use it in all his videos?

[@hoggindoggin1373]

crazedpostdoc i was about comment this aswell

[@PlasmaSpark]

Modifier Northernlion: 15% chance of having one less energy every turn

[@BrunoWolfMetal]

ALSO: damage values have a chance of being wrong

[@ilijabonevski1042]

Bruno Mazzotti some cards are also unplayeble

[@FatherNick]

card descriptions are invisible

[@SneakyBadAssOG]

Also 10% chance of randomly losing a turn. Not so much different from regular Egg play tho.

[@Mysticfateee]

That would actually be a pretty cool negative modifier honestly

[@slimer71]

They should make a daily power: 'Northern Lion knows what he's talking about' and give players a 50 card deck of dagger spray, armaments unlimited potions and SOZU artifact.

[@PongzeLor]

Literally unlosable

[@joestiensmiet3312]

Considering the facr that sozu doesnt stop the usage of potions anymore, that'd be pretty lame

[@JokingJames2]

No cleave?

[@lucasnadamas9317]

@@joestiensmiet3312 NL doesnt know that so he would lose it

[@brandonmcmurray333]

We call this the "beware the ides of March" deck. Full of backstabs and shivs.

[@WereCreed]

Ha!

[@Merith89]

Still not using/unaware of the View My Score button I see.

[@fallouthirteen]

What, you expect him to actually notice things on the screen? Who do you think you're watching?

[@DaniYuki]

One day he will learn... we can only hope...

[@jamesmedina3297]

"one sixty-threeth, one sixty-thurth?" English teacher of the year

[@pedroramirez8458]

James Medina he's a bio major, not an English one. Lol

[@jamesmedina3297]

didn't he teach English to South Korean kids?

[@stanleytrujillo1283]

yea he did

[@Sir_Ross]

Teacher! Teacher! Obama 👉👴🏾

[@remigarreau870]

Really love when he plays seven cards in one turn and then finishes the turn with After Image.

[@morganj426]

"one sixty threeth"

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

That's Numberwang!

[@Thalkor]

Whomst'd've

[@utahrapter8]

Stop resting so much mah boi there was no need to do it at 60/70 HP unless your deck was stank and it aint

[@JokingJames2]

I think his rationale is that he doesn't see upgrading cards to be worth it in a deck that thick.

[@phuuc8075]

he always complains about his other turns being bad but don't make infinite blade innate by upgrading them...

[@PongzeLor]

8:42 THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TELL HIM TO STOP ATTACKING THE MIDDLE SENTRY aka something has gone terribly wrong with NL.exe

[@artygaming5704]

I think what could be a little better than the 50 card deck is you can not skip card rewards. Or some modification (s) to the card rewards other than having less or more.

[@adityamehra8688]

artemis Gaming or maybe you can’t ADD cards

[@artygaming5704]

Adiga Maximus I don't know. I think that breaks it a little too much. Assuming you are running basic classes you've got bash, or survivor and neutralize as your only different cards. You'd just get hard blocked when it comes to something like lagavulin or however you pronounce it

[@adityamehra8688]

artemis Gaming no no I meant that you’d get the 50 random cards and then you can’t add any more after that.

[@artygaming5704]

Oh, that would work.

[@snobber69]

HE'S DOING MATH, HE HAS ASCENDED

[@LittleNineru]

He keeps resting with 40+ HP on first act rip

[@childfs6865]

rip? how can i rest in peace knowing that?!

[@KillerOf1990]

The second floor boss fight plays were incredible

[@iowacub1]

OMFG he has NO CLUE how Heel and Hook works and its fucking KILLING ME

[@Azure_Wisp]

You're placing really well on the dailies NL! Great job!

[@MichaelBTucker]

I played this daily and essentially the same build. I think I may have played it a little better because I made a fat daddy deck with mindblast+

[@rawrimapony]

Slay the Spire hidden fact: Gold does not disappear if you don't use it on the first shop you land in. You actually don't have to buy a crappy relic just because it's what's in front of you right now!

[@blahthebiste7924]

Conversely, on the third floor, you can look ahead on the map to see plainly that there are no other shops to save for after this one!

[@GrimmBones]

NL, Orichalcum is pronounced as "oh-ree-kall-koom". Just so you know. Similar to the Seal of Orichalcos in Yugioh, except it ends in "um" and not "os".

[@beanbag7655]

Streamer actually did the M A T H

[@a3aan240]

Nl you played well today, you played like a sensible human being and i appreciate that.

[@kp9911]

When I heard dead branch I thought ragnarok mmo, looks at the icon of it, yup defiantly RO

[@mcmilesca5606]

So happy about these StS episodes but you are making me watch them right away in game editing class so thanks for helping me not learn

[@nakkertton]

NL MISPLAY COUNTER! 3:06 Discarding anything else and playing eviscerate was the best play there 5:40 Both infinite blades and tools of the trade were better choices than acrobatics 8:47 Could have saved block potion by killing 40HP sentry that was attacking 10:15 Resting at 52 HP rather than upgrading some key cards 19:34 Resting at 60HP rather than upgrading 22:02 You dont have nearly enough defence to justify that Calipers 24:17 Should always draw first 25:25 I dont see a world where this deck is better with underhanded strike rather than noxious fumes+ 26:47 Ok at this point if he values 9 HP more than an upgrade I dont even know what to say anymore 27:33 Should have played choke before 2nd shiv 28:17 Played infinite blades rather than a free heel hook and then whatever he wants 34:47 Losing footwork rather than phantasmal killer 35:41 Should have killed the one doing more dmg first 36:26 Used acrobatics instead of cloak and dagger which would have dealt more dmg and blocked more 40:33 Didn't play free heel hook 40:42 Played accuracy to gain 3 dmg rather than playing glass knife to deal 18 dmg (boss was taking 100% more dmg at that point so more like 36 more dmg) 47:45 Played choke after playing two 0 cost cards before it 48:38 Buddy you have transformed a curse maybe 5 times already when do you learn that transforming a card gives it the same color card! (curses become curses, colorless cards become colorless cards etc. So you should never transform a curse)(This wasnt a misplay since he canceled it but just because he thought doing it when he had already made that mistake at least 5 times already should be considered a misplay) 52:54 Boss is about to heal back to 50% so you shouldn't waste the counter on attacks if you cant kill it

[@COFFEE_WEEB]

The madman ever stops editing pls stop daddy, it's too much

[@sylphsylph2118]

at 54:35 a piercing wail was exhaust..and wouldve turned is attack into 3 hit of 6 damage..

[@alphapolimeris]

This video gives you 100% of your recommended dose of daily oricalcium.

[@Marzipaniv]

Was waiting on the Champ to 1 shot him after playing cocky and refusing to play After Image/Blurs. Disappointing. *upgrades infinite blades* ~~~30 seconds passes~~~ "I don't think we like infinite blades that much"

[@user-bt1bx1qn6o]

there was SO MUCH wrong with that Time Lord fight. There were actually too many misplays to count.

[@agr0nianTV]

Gotta love dead branch

[@mellowhero3520]

Dear Egg, if you'd routed correctly you could have gotten the fan in that first shop, if I remember right. Good job getting marbles at least

[@Alvarin_IL]

Awesome episode this was!

[@Agustin-io4pw]

So at 21:30 what he should have done for guaranteed bs kill is play adrenaline, then the shiv tornado thing and then he would have 11 shivs to get the job done. Instead chooses rng to draw a good attack

[@davidkaprielian511]

HE DID THE FLECHETTES RUN POGGERS

[@CultOfPersonality12]

Did anybody else notice how he posted a run with a backstab deck on the ides of march? I see you, egg

[@ravelordneato4107]

"tu quoque, Ovum"

[@petruciobr]

Calipers for 300 in this build? Calipers? CALIPERS!!!!????? Kill me now. 21:55.

[@marsgreekgod]

It's not your fault, but I'm so sad you missed the shop that had mind blast. IT WAS SO AMAZING

[@antwandc]

K8 pregnant confirmed 3:32

[@ElPared]

no, you didn't pronounce Orichalcum right lol

[@undo45]

It's the Time Lord!

[@What-sf5ey]

.. Shouldn't you play Eviscerate?? 3:00

[@blahthebiste7924]

Yes.

[@yaa4796]

*EDITED VIDEOS*

[@jacoblastname9390]

ya a no

[@darcysmyth6621]

yes

[@SciFiMangaGamesAnime]

Thanks for the company.

[@shanadir]

Nl, easy way to beat time lord with that deck? Upgrade your dodge/card played to innate. You REALLY underestimate it

[@blahthebiste7924]

"dodge/card"? You mean Dodge n Roll?

[@shanadir]

nah, after image. couldn't remember the name

[@blahthebiste7924]

Ah

[@jamma246]

It at best would give 12 block per turn against the time lord.

[@PongzeLor]

Skips flechettes on a run titled flechettes. Well there was that first turn

[@OHamProductions]

Northern coulda killed the act 2 boss in turn 1 by applying corpse explosion to the middle and wailing on it.

[@RuJI2012]

It was a great run, not run, a joy for my eyes, thank you NL

[@thecamelnamebob]

the terror last god brain

[@GBKK99]

Why did this get recommended 6 years later I want Balatro

[@SamuraiFoochs]

Where exactly in the video is "one sixty threeth" again? I need a timestamp to laugh forever. Thanks all. Also such a fun run. :) GJ Egg.

[@goonma1]

thanks for the company

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

If everyone is zany, no one is zany.

[@mellowhero3520]

HitchensImmortal Exactly. It's the hero shooter argument. Nothing is OP if everything is OP

[@mattzachs5966]

Yeah, I got two innate mindblasts just before second boss. Steamrolled

[@Omgaboo]

when it comes to the guys with the triangle heads and sphere body's, why does he attack and kill the one doing 10 damage first and not the one doing 15 damage? am i missing something?

[@agr0nianTV]

I'm looking forward to the March 14th daily which will hopefully be tommorow's vid :3

[@yurromman]

0:25, stop it, get some help

[@PngunPr]

I just got that centennial puzzle is a yugioh reference. I'm actually dumb.

[@Cronos804]

1:52 just barely impossible. You can only remove about 6 to 8 Cards per run a thin deck can have 44 cards at most >.>

[@nicknevco215]

nl proved that just playing cards at random will win.

[@cecilandblues]

NL is not going to feel so cocky about his daily scores if he ever leaves the beta branch.

[@foalie23]

You and the crew need to play heros of hammer watch

[@jonathonmartin1204]

Pls...think of the heel hook. It's getting sad from not being used.

[@awestrucksteam3228]

I love how he freaks out about getting the second curse when he has a fifty card deck

[@SSBandSMTfan]

This guy really needs to understand how thorny dude works ! He's so afraid for nothing

[@Sunderfury]

Wasted campfires: The episode.

[@5Grave5Robber5]

How is it possible that NL seems to do better with enormous decks which he did not build himself? is it that he plays better than we think (we all make mistakes in game) but has just terrible deck construction?

[@ComradeArthur]

Huh. I thought these daily challenges were supposed to be the same for all players. When I ran this I got the other character.

[@NyxSunspot]

My biggest issue with this game is your character remains the same in appearance throughout the entire run, which is very visually boring to me in a game that's basically deck building + Isaac. One of the best things about other roguelike and lites is the fact that your appearance changes in someway most of the time.

[@yuukiterumi8186]

Oh-ri-kal-cuhm

[@XenomorphFiend]

All the times he missed heel hook on weakened enemies... Ahhhh

[@Deathwingburn]

am i the only one who doesnt understand why nl refuses to ever play envenom despite playing like 10 attacks and has sneko skull

[@nerdtron8]

I'm just gonna say it The time lord isn't fair or fun.

[@AHeckman118]

Z A N E T H E O R Y

[@ravelordneato4107]

O-REE-KAEL-KOM

[@Ragamuffinec]

No, NL, you didn't say it right :) If you'd watched the "how to pronounce orichalcum" video, maybe you'd finally say it right :D

[@H4licarnassus]

T H I N D E C D A D D Y

[@ElPared]

I mean, you already have a 50 card deck, why not just take cards with Dream Catcher if they're good? there's not a huge difference between a 50 card deck and a 70 - 80 card deck especially with no cap on duplicates.

[@FlorianBrandenburg]

*why won't you envenom with that many attacks?!?!*

[@stauner32]

at 8:44 why in the world would he use a block potion instead of just killing the enemy that's doing damage. Worst case scenario you just use it next turn.. I don't know why this one hurt me in particular but jesus..

[@chazwwe]

NL wins the daily, gets a top 70 score. People still complain. Come on chat.

[@gray007nl]

I mean it's top 70 score in the first three hours of the daily, by the end he was probably considerably lower than that.

[@christiancassam]

DAE game design??

[@pauledwards2052]

The 50 card shit is actually pretty boring. The struggle is how do you salvage instead of how do you create.

[@AngelicOwnage]

egg

[@Moms_Spaghetti]

Does NL still not know how Timelord fight works? His heal, specifically

[@Vipertooth007]

ori kal kum

[@fehoobar]

Oh god. 55-card deck full of expensive stuff. Doesn't take confuse. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@joestiensmiet3312]

fehoobar in fairness, it'd have made his opening turn usually a fair bit worse, considering he,by default, had 6 0-mana cards

[@zawiro216]

Lol! Onesixtythreeth

[@TaranPerry]

If you post a video that is 100% zooming in and out of the menu screen I will subscribe.

[@emptyMorg]

Dude look at your deck

[@ppppppqqqppp]

To be totally fair, insanity is kind of a terrible mod anyway, just in so many aspects. 1. It removes the value of many good modifiers. 2. It basically has no way to play around/with it. 3. It can decide your run at the start. 4. It removes a core aspect of the run, removing or adding cards has next to no effect, you can't meaningfully change your deck. Other than that, it's just kind of terrible, design-wise. It's not even that interesting really.

[@ppppppqqqppp]

To add to this, I'd probably replace it with something like "Kleptomania: You can no longer choose to skip card rewards"

[@TBomb15]

I...(sigh) I want him to realize how to play so badly, but he never does. It's especially frustrating because he keeps winning so he has no incentive to improve. This is why you need to play some ascension runs, NL. Please occasionally do some. It doesn't have to be all the time, just every now and then.

[@loudpackgamingyt]

One sixty threeth

[@sinryu2335]

NL i love ya but the *misplays* are killing me dawg. Like healing for 10 hp that was just painful to watch.

[@99superjason]

ha! 666 likes

[@ren76ful]

Yay I’m first to watch o and I have now been subbed to you since 100k subs

[@RematodeRanger]

wow! thats so cool and amazing! congrats! *whole comment section applauds*

[@RiotMakerT9]

It's not 50 "random" cards.

[@adityamehra8688]

Rabid Monk yes it kinda is

[@lewisfowler6570]

7th wooo lol

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

"This deck is insanely good" No it isn't. Dead branch and Ninja scroll with 3 backstabs is. MOST of that deck was pretty shit.

[@mellowhero3520]

If this is the daily I think it is, the deck gets real good as long as you take the route to get the dead branch. If I remember right it's also possible to get Charons Ashes, but that could have been another run I did that day.

[@Bantimus]

Mellow Hero Pretty sure you also get Charon ashes this run. Was a fun time.

[@edwardivy6948]

Play actual runs not daily’s all the time
