I had a run with a setup that I couldn't imagine myself losing with, on the last battle, and I accidentally killed the companion that formed the core of my strategy. I know the feel.

[@PotionSmeller]

Really like the Shadesmancer tribe. You can go sacrifice, overburn, or mass summons with teeth. There is also cheesy bullshit like crowning the soulbound skulls and a summon to instakill an enemy at the start of battle. Very enjoyable playstyles.

[@Hel1mutt]

probably the best tribe out of all of them

[@Sadddude]

The problem with teeth build is that I have to beat it next run lol

[@de4dbutdre4ming]

oh my god. i really hate the design of soulbound skulls since the only way you can use it without risking an instant loss is by cheesing it, but oh well. gonna deploy the strat anyways lmfao

[@VocalTK]

@@Hel1mutt Gnomes are by far the most consistent and strongest clan. Ink is the best status effect in the game and they also have both the strongest units and the strongest setup cards.

[@ridstock9663]

If you get a shade clay and crown it too you can kill 2 enemy's, great for dangerous hard to kill enemy's like the teeth guy, haze guys in the crab fight and final bosses, can pick up a blank mask too and have 3 of your leader/best companion on fights you dont need the skulls for.

[@PsiVolt]

[@ArcRandom]

That Wildmaw fight was right on the edge of victory. He had a noomlin yank on the turn he killed the first smog, so he could yank the Marrow and fizzle and Nom's attack would have killed it. He would probably still have a lot of injured units and it would probably be hell for the next fight. Not drawing the Bink was also super sad.

[@66Seasons]

I'm pogged that this is back, I've been waiting for it for like 3 days

[@gheromesilvestre7803]

Feels like next time he needs to build a run specifically for the final boss fight. Like a big nut build to counteract the spikes and overburn.

[@VocalTK]

Simply recalling booshu already means he is almost guaranteed to win here lol. He doesn't need to construct specific builds, he is already on the right track with his decks. He just needs to take some more time which isn't likely to happen with his style as a content creator.

[@Kestral287]

Booshu recall gets him out of that turn but his overall position is still pretty bad. The style of deck he's on is decent to beating that boss but it's a very slow, very grindy pivot that's hard to make - essentially you're needing to time all of your boss damage on your snow unit's turns while using summons to soak the boss's attacks. From a fast-paced Groff Chiki deck that's not an easy pivot. The easy answer to that boss is that he gets crushed by ink but Clunk builds are awkward until you're used to them and if he can't line Ink up Clunk can be pretty fragile to what the boss is doing.

[@mathieubovet-cloutier6712]

He had 3 sources of frost( from hero and 2 blizzard bottles) and his hero is never in danger of smackback because of his own snow. Considering he threw away 5 units for pretty much no reason im pretty sure he couldve either made a big chik and kept rerolling for winter bottles or kept summoning garbage to keep himself safe and he wouldve been fine if he wasnt short on time and had to hurry his plays.

[@Braekuh]

im pretty sure over burn is a counter to nut cause overburn kills you as long as just your health reaches the same amount. So if you have 16 nut but 2 health and overburn 2 is applied, you die. I think thats how it works

[@Kestral287]

@kumayl kuvawala It is not. The 2 overburn will trigger immediately but it'll only deal 2 damage to the nut, leaving plenty more. Granted it'd still hit the rest of the row for 2.

[@manguy01]

NL built the unkillable team of murder death! I feel like you can only beat them with a team designed specifically to deal with high health thorns enemies

[@AllWIllFall2Me]

I think that if he just took a moment in earlier shops and said "I know I'm going to eventually want a Yank card", that it would be a lot easier. I don't know if it'd be enough to change the outcome just on that alone, but I think it would make the issues a lot clearer.

[@PlatonicLiquid]

Damn, that end was winnable, but that overburn barrage smackback with thorns is incredibly hard to figure out. The double Chikichi explosion was goated. Luckily I think when he beats it, the next one won't be nearly as hard to deal with

I like having the same newbie experiences. I'm sure there are situations where inking Moko is a good idea but i found out the hard way that he is stated in his health department to anticipate your team being chili peppered up by him. Removing his buff to everyone usually means you have to hack through a meat wall that is hard at that stage of the game. Grats to NL for making it work anyways

[@SirValoso]

These Wildfrost videos look how I feel when I play Chess

[@violetstarsign]

I see NL has discovered my favorite build. The beautiful marriage of "Why would I attack the enemies when I can have them do that for me?" and "Good luck hitting me, I'm hiding behind seven ̶p̶r̶o̶x̶i̶e̶s̶ Junjuns."

[@Kestral287]

The beautiful thing is how easy it is. The defensive half of the build is unlocked with basically any non-exhausting mask, so three or four cards, and then you have at least three ways to go off with thorns on your summons too, most of which are already good for the summon archetype.

Since you said "I actually just don't know like what I could've done" about the thing at 1:15:50, figured I'd just put my two cents on "what you could've done", which the action you did was fine, just swap booshu and your leader around, so when booshu is smackback'd, only they die and you keep the rest. I can't say I'd know what to do after that to win, since you did win that last run with such a god run, it's kinda hard to get around without ink.
