NL logic: you want your tank to stay alive so he can do his job as a tank as long as possible so you put them in the back where it's safer perfect sense

​@@EvanWantsSoup Hellhorned/Awoken is a lot simpler than Awoken/Hellhorned because it's harder to find reliable ways of dealing damage and hellhorned armor is antisynergistic with awoken healing, which becomes more obvious when you're leaning into healing your doods. NL still hasn't wrapped his head around all the fundamentals, but I'm not surprised this one went worse than the first.

Hey NL, you can place more than two monsters on the floor. The resource above their head is how much space you use. For example, the champion takes 2 spots so you can also have a steward and an imp. The welder imp took 1 space and the steward took 2 for a total of 5. This can be increased by the choice that gives you energy, cards, or space.

First thing said: We gotta put a big damage dealer in the back, and protect it with a good tank in front. First thing DONE: puts a 0 damage 20hp unit on the back, and a poor measly 8hp in front, to defend the obviously valuable 0 attack of the dps! So, time for more tips! -What you said is true! But please put it into practice! besides some chump-blocking imps or similar units from other clans, you want to have the bigger health unit on the front (generally, even if it's the one doing more damage or doing some utility, bigger health in front keeps all units alive longer.) Take the first boss in the first battle, your train steward can only take 2 attacks of 4 damage, so it dies only having done 5 damage to the boss. If the steward were behind your champion (who contributed nothing to the fight in your case). While if he was behind the champion, the steward would have been doing 5 damage repeatedly until the Sentinel dies, many turns later, resulting in much better damage. -Also, CAPACITY. The space your units occupy in the train is represented by "capacity", which are the little yellow buttons on top of the cards. Each floor of the train has a capacity limit (by default 5) represented on top-left of said floor. Usually units occupy 2 spaces (represented by 2 pips on top of the card) but some units are "massive" and take 3 or 4, possibly even more in extreme cases! And also, some units (usually support-like, the imps are an example) take just 1 space and are so easy to fit... even if you already have 2 regular units! You can upgrade capacity after the main bosses (which are always Daedalus and Fel, the ones that fly around before entering the train) instead of ember/energy or card draw, it's the third option! Also there are other options to upgrade capacity but are more centered in other clans, as I recall :) The ultimate maximum cap is actually 7 units, no matter how little the units are, or how upgraded your capacity is... you'll never see more than 7 units on any side of the train (also true for enemies, they can't fit more than 7).
@Olodus

Haha like the series NL. It is always fun to watch you slowly learn how to play the different styles and mechanics. Guess the length of the first episode scared you a bit because it felt like you didn't think through some of the mechanics this round (like your champion for example). Maybe if you feel the episodes are too long, split a whole round into two episode. Since the floors are quite separate I think it could work for this game until you have gotten faster with the mechanics. Two more small things; 1: Once in one of the shops you wanted to view your deck while choosing between two card, but didn't find where you could. Up to the left by your pyre's life is the deck button. 2: You are able to place more than two creatures on a floor. How many you can have on a floor depends on how much of those yellow circles they "cost". Keep up the great content.

As sad as I was to see Eden go, I really love watching and learning along as NL teases out the nuance in games like this.

Several random stuff that i've noticed about this one: 1. unless you use all five pips per floor (and you've tended to use 4/5 so far), imps are never a malus - they give you essentially one wall of damage block in front of your other units, in adition to their summon abilities. On the other hand, endless runes on imps (especially transcendimps) are a valid archetype. Letting a zero cost imp die really doesn't hurt you that much. 2. You don't get two units per floor, you get five pips. Most units you've used so far use 2, allowing for two regular units + one support or imp (or in the later games, the little guys that get eaten). Given how you tend to focus on lots of strong units, getting one extra capacity per floor actually fits your playstyle INSANELY well, essentially giving you place for an extra unit per floor 3. for the love of god, keep the spiked unit that constantly heals in the front to tank your hits 4. Generally, if you have 0 damage units that can last for a while, its bad form to keep them in the back - as the backliner is almost always bound to get more opportunities to attack, especially when bosses start hitting with their relentless trait ( for example, had your champion been in the front for the daedalus fight, it would have taken 3 hits to kill, dealing back 12 damage via thorns. Alll the while, the backliner would have been landing hits, giving you an aditional 3*3 damage for a total of 9. Then, the backliner would have gotten another hit off (or two, if rejuvenated), giving you an aditional 6 damage - and that all sums up to 27 damage, versus the 15 you did. This could have also been streched to at leas one more round with a welder helper. 5. I think you need to pay more attention to the thingy that tells you how much damage you and your enemies will take

Also, you can have 5 units per room. The reason why you keep thinking it's 2, is because you have 2 units which are each taking up 2 spaces, meaning you have 4 used spaces out of 5. Now here's the good stuff, you can either keep playing with 2 units, and take units that consume 3 spaces, OR, keep playing the same way, BUT, know that imps take up 1 space, so they're basically a free minion with a battlecry for you :)

So don't be afraid to grab an extra energy per floor since then you can place three normal units on each floor. Also I don't know if you noticed but spikes don't get reduced like rage and regen. They stay at the same amount through the entire fight.

Nl, each floor has 5 slots and each unit takes up 1 2 or 3 slots, you could have 2 branded warriors and an Imp, which this was painful to see but you are new to the game. Great content even with the goofs, keep it up!

10:25 Playing Branded warrior behind the Sentient would've been better. You're healing the Sentient every turn so you're missing out on free soak for enemy damage. Also, for boss fights you'd want it to die first because it has 0 atk, and it'll soak up damage for the unit behind who would still be attacking.

Yeah I was disappointed he didn’t notice that also... and upgrade capacity! He only thinks you can place two units per level, the imp can go with two warriors on one floor. Capacity is the most limited resource by far in this game. Spells bs units is no match at all, gotta go capacity every time.

Putting the Champion from this faction in the back is totally a fine option, but only once you've upgraded her to be Explosive even more, and once you've got a better tank option. (my fav so far is her in the back, and with the dude that gets bonus Max HP, and Spikes whenever he's healed in the front, and then you heal him whenever you DON'T need to damage the enemies in the line any further as they'll die, and heal the chick whenever you need to damage the enemies)

Floor capacity and rear tank has been covered pretty well, but the Sting/Spikes confusion also unpogged me. He had Sting in the previous run! It seems like this tank at the front buffed with spikes would be a nice combo.

Hey NL, I know it sounds reasonable to protect your champion, but for someone like the Sentient, it’s not really optimal. Considering her high HP and 0 Attack, she’s better suited to soaking damage in the front and letting other units deal damage from the back. If it helps, you can view her as a 0 Cost wall. Also, the imps can be useful since they’re basically free spells costing only 0 to deploy. Because of their 1 Capacity, it also gives them a niche for the instances where you have 4/5 Capacity in a room. Plus, if you intentionally kill one of your imps using something like the Torch spell, it frees up capacity for another imp and its Summon effect. Just wanted to put my two cents in. Hoping to see you improve your play!

Some misplays, but that's to be expected when the game is new and you have to provide commentary, Keep up the good work really enjoying the series. I am really looking forward to what the other factions will bring to the table. Keep up the strong work friend, really enjoying the series so far.

Loving the series so far! It looks to me like the champion you took this episode would prefer to soak attacks up front, so you can heal him and keep the lower health units safe. Can't wait for the next episode NL!
