About this game:
Become a giant walking dice and battle to the end of an ever-changing dungeon! Can you escape the cruel whims of Lady Luck?
In this new fast-paced deckbuilding roguelike from Terry Cavanagh (Super Hexagon, VVVVVV), Chipzel, and Marlowe Dobbe, you'll fight monsters, find better loot, and level up your heroes as you work together to take down the Goddess of Fortune, Lady Luck herself. Balance your carefully planned strategies against the unknown of a dice roll.

My heart almost stopped at the end when he dropped the 4 into the shocked Dagger instead of slapping her with a 13 damage Detonator, thought he threw an otherwise pretty great run. Eggdad just keeping me on the edge of my seat for that KZbin engagement money

[@mongmanmarkyt2897]

i mean poison killed her anyway he could have just ended turn and won

[@TheBioRules]

I'm also not sure if the 1's into poison was the right play that round. Each 1 is doing 1 damage because of poison, which does carry over to the next round and is super if you detonate it, but it's 2 damage with upgraded dagger right now. Tricky.

[@TheShut1]

@@mongmanmarkyt2897 He meant before Beatrice's last turn. If she rolled higher number egg would be cracked so he got lucky that not playing detonator didn't hurt him.

[@uriarte411]

@@mongmanmarkyt2897 No he means the turn before she died. He should've cleared up dagger with the 3 and kept the 4. Then he would've hit her for 13 and the poison would've killed her a turn earlier. If she had rolled higher NL would've died. But alls well that ends well

[@santiagofreytes3178]

@@TheBioRules 1 intoi poison are better because they are not only stacking poison which does more damage in the long run but with detonator they are technially adding 2 damage the turn they are playen you should always use detonator when you have mora than 4 poison

[@Locuseater]

I love how NL knows the direwolf is strong against poison, yet does not change equipment before the fight.

[@MicoDossun]

In his defense there wasn’t really anything better in his backpack. I understand the validity of people saying that you should change your equipment to match the enemy but I don’t think this game is well made enough for that to actually be a relevant strategy.

[@andrewv5338]

Ultra tunnel vision when it comes to his equipment assemblage

[@andrewv5338]

MicoDossun Flexibility is absolutely a strategy. How much unspent money did he have by the end of it? How much is that money could be invested into alternate builds?

[@Nickyc997]

Poison still works perfectly for poison strong enemy's it's still damaging

[@Locuseater]

There were several factors that led to the Direwolf fight being 'easier' than it should have been with his equipment setup: 1) NL had tons of HP going into the fight. (he luckily had a 10 HP apple in the shop before the fight) 2) NL got poison claw+ several times during the fight and was able to make good use of 5's he rolled. 3) NL didn't roll many 5-6's in the fight. 4) NL played quite well during the fight (not using poison needle or detonator knowing they'd do less damage) Had NL bought either Staff or Nudgeblade before the fight and equipped either, it would have removed the 'bad luck' factor of having turns where all dice were 4-6 value. On the contrary NL had fairly average rolls and escaped 1 turn away from lethal. Not thinking about changing equipment made him lose a run a while back where he was against Cornelius (the guy that does 999 damage) and didn't have enough damage equipment leading to 'bad rolls' and ending his run, whereas if he had taken out some of those defensive equipment and put in some damage ones in his backpack the fight would have been easy. To be fair, most fights you don't need to change equipment (its not that type of game), but foresight while doing potentially the "hardest levels in the game" (episode 4), will lead to less 'bad luck' moments. NL did play pretty well most of today's game but I just felt like pointing out a flaw I saw in his game-play.

[@mrhollw00d83]

Missing on two detonations for the last fight was a huge misplay, but luck prevailed.

[@ResentItPlays]

I was just waiting for Beatrice to demolish him for missing so many detonators, but lion luck saved his ass

[@BigBoss-sh2jx]

[@TheRealPunkachu]

Honestly episode 6 is way easier since you get to use mana and you can get lucky with some positive rules.

[@tracyh5751]

NL, you missed like 20 damage in that boss fight because you spent your evens on things other than detonator. That easily could have ended the run. I do have to say though that you have greatly improved and I thank you for the company.

[@ulimitwynn5959]

It just dawned in me that you can take yiur game to the mext level by tailoring your equipement before every fight. Like equiping Leather Armor before the Sneezy fight to counter him.

[@lazarmilovanovic6041]

You actually played really well NL, but I would love to see you try different playstyles with characters (crowbar, ultima weapon,shield bash etc) , and I think you`d enjoy them as well

[@Mwarrior1991]

not on the elimination rounds

[@malkchocolate]

I REALLY wanna see a Crowbar run, man.

[@O-M-0]

Crowbar build doesn't really pop off until he starts seeing Wrecking Ball anyway

[@Samsunaattori]

Honestly unless you go hard into poison with detonators etc, you should pick up crowbar just in case because the poison needle sucks compared to the upgraded dagger. If you get something that works with counters, you can just cheese the one attack boss with the dodge card and just some damage if you pick just a few pieces along the way, or just leave it in your inventory in the worst case

[@mmseng2]

I love NL's tiny cartoon arm holding the dagger XD

[@swudurshchurf2386]

I was gonna be very upset with the Egg if he didn't spin the wheel at the end. That was a great run! Figured he might've missed lethal at the end there by taking an extra poison instead of putting one into Detonator, seemed a little closer than he might've let on

[@Edwardsguy]

He's done it!! He's learned from passed mistakes and is growing! Applause sir, applause 👏

[@grapesoftime]

Good job NL, have fun with the witch lmao

[@Dan-Simms]

Great couple of episodes after that loss streak, much better plays...luck helps too.

[@busorenkin55]

NL remember that Detonator is damage equal to the poison the enemy has, you could have missed lethal in that last fight because of it and almost lost the run

[@pablopina1079]

Don't split the six split the four!

[@Awesomeness156]

NL, you should switch out equipment if you don’t expect to use it against certain enemies. Like the dire wolf fight you could have had two other things instead of poison

great job egg!

[@AzureVengence2788]

Thief is easily my favorite character.

[@cppilgram]

NL you can use detonator every turn, and since poison persists and stacks, it grows more and more useful. Good job though

[@Mangiff]

Yo, NL, try using upgraded crowbar next time you play this character, it's more or less a free win every time

[@LightPhoenix7000]

The big problem with Poison is that is way too slow unless you're putting huge numbers up. This is extra true when you're doing the elimination rounds, when you really have to be as efficient as possible to compete with the upgrades.

[@150booyadragon]

He doesn't take anything that supports poison needle properly and upgrades dagger which makes needles obsolete. I comment this every time I see him play thief but he ignores me.

[@Polaris5664]

The thief steals the better equipment, does this make the run easier?

[@mattrare4459]

Nope. Especially when the equipment does nothing for the thief

[@futhington]

Man the plays are so much better, but poison needle just ain't worth it once dagger is upgraded.

[@Felipe-hl6nh]

With many dice it's better Needle grows quadratically while dagger grows linearly

[@futhington]

@@Felipe-hl6nh I guess but it's a matter of time taken is the thing, if you use Five ones in Dagger+ that's 10 damage now, if you use them in Needle+ that's 15 damage (5+4+3+2+1) but over five turns, it takes three turns for Needle to overtake Dagger in damage dealt and that's three turns in which the enemy is dealing damage to you.

[@syren6371]

@@Felipe-hl6nh Doesnt matter because the raw damage of dagger+ is too much that if you need so much time that needle catches up in damage, you're probably already dead anyways.

[@pauloat]

@@futhington but the poison is not just a one play and wait. you can have 5, and the next turn 9, and from there use the dagger.

[@Felipe-hl6nh]

But then after the second turn the needle+ would go to 9 then 13 then 17 then 21 the sum is actually 65 in 5 turns with 5 activations each time + the extra you put on dagger+ after that, or even more if you have the double poison equipment I forgot the name of Probably 5 turns is enough to kill with dagger+ and other damaging equip too, I don't think it will ever impact the run too much

[@thebusinessgoat]

Some mistakes were made but the Egg is happy and it's the only thing that matters to me.

[@Grizz343]

1:23 and that's when you restart.

[@SnowFaceChamcham]

except for the fact that it doesn't matter since you're leveling up in another fight anyway

[@150booyadragon]

If you restart because you get hit once by space marine on floor run this isn't the kind of game for you.

[@larrydigger461]

The 2:58 useless bandage instead of the 1 damage on lockpick is my 2nd favorite NL moment of the episode so far. (again for the people complaining that we're ragging on him too much, you're not supposed to take these seriously they're all for fun) EDIT: He acknowledged it next turn, he's learning

[@zionaguilar6608]

I’m convinced the creators pay him to misplay to frustrate us enough so we feel obligated to buy the game. I believe this is proven by his incessant need to use poison over dagger+ on a full dmg loadout

NL please stop thinking needle is great if you aren't going to try and make a full poison run you'd need to roll 5 1's (specifically) over more turns than you'll probably have in the fight to out class Dagger. I don't get why you keep sacking so much damage for no reason trying to play a long game that will never happen

[@Ulgroth]

i wrote out an entire thing of every mistake and after watching that last fight ive just given up. Unshocking dagger to do 10 damage instead of using 4 to use detonator for 13 plus the additonal two dice u would have had for dagger. your brain, you just dont slow down and process all the information given and i think at this point you dont even care to try. The tunnel vision, the basic math and the reading. It is so odd for as smart as im sure you are its like you got smart on other things and brain dumped a ton of other stuff.

[@BigBoss-sh2jx]

Watching the fight with the kraken showed me this games balance is utter trash. What’s the point in cursing and blinding enemies if they both literally do nothing to them? It’s kind of stupid, also egg boy? Why do you make me cringe in your last battle? You could’ve ended the battle a round sooner by using the detonator instead of unlocking with the 4/6
