Slay the Spire - Northernlion Plays - Episode 163 [Pass By Value]

[@ivangood7121]

4:27 turbo gives 2 energy -> can play glacier -> evokes dark -> kill Stop it . Get help

[@TheQats]

he goes to fast

[@mrskwid1]

egg have no eyes remember

[@maciekx10]

Like he said it was a poor pla.y

[@nerdtron8]

He actually needs to see a doctor

[@johnathanroth6205]

he won the run, why are you mad?

[@Marzipaniv]

When he didn't even read Turbo a few minutes in I thought there was no way he would figure out the Seek->Seek->Seek Thunder combo. What a surprise. "We need to play this perfectly" *Plays double energy on 2 energy before Aggregate* Flushing Defragment is mind boggling. Episode 163: Still thinks donning the red mask makes him lose the red mask

[@PurpletracksStudios]

T R the red mask part almost made me close the video. Holy crap.

[@28sunnyman]

It's ironic that the egg has yet to understand the value of focus

[@TempestasAurum]

Why is it ironic?

[@28sunnyman]

TempestasAurum because most of the misplays in the series come from what I can only imagine is a lack of focus

[@TempestasAurum]

Are you sure it's not ignorance or lack of understanding the meta?

[@asdasd-rp9hx]

@@TempestasAurum it's ironic cause he constantly likes to talk down/ trash about people who arent good at trivia but he's garbage at puzzles and critical thinking

[@jaypham3393]

I wanna see him play this with an eye tracker so we can see how he misses simple things

[@alphazero6056]

4:15 turbo + glacier or am I missing something?

[@SmiteTheJinx]

Yeah. NL has the reigns.

[@solh0029]

You missed TURBO's blank card text of course

[@barbarianbijuu]

I hate how he just ignored turbo glacier and took the 16 damage from in the beginning

[@BigE3618]

25:17 I understand talking to an audience can be a little mindflooding, but in what universe is (9x3)+4=22?

[@CodexAce]

43:56 You get the gold and KEEP the mask. He finished with 1979 gold so if he doesn't pass up the free gold he would have gotten 25 more points!

[@Steejo]

367 on this daily, Sneko killed me on the 28th floor :/ You HELLA overvalue Static Discharge, the card requires you to take damage to do anything.....you don't want to take damage. Unless you have a way to play A LOT of buffers.

[@iiirdeyeheretik]

Hey cool, one of the people I subscribe to and follow on twitch dumping on another person I subscribe to and follow on twitch =P

[@mylesthompson4485]

Steejo you lil editing bitch, now how will people know you got a low score on the daily!?!

[@TheLivingAlien]

I encountered the same fate

[@Steejo]

@Chill I edited to add my static discharge comment. @CaptainThunderWolf I hear what you're saying but I still don't think it's a valuable card, it's 1 energy to take at least some hp damage and channel a lightning (or 2 when upgraded), Zap is 0 energy to channel 1 lightning and take 0 hp damage. Lightning Blast is 1 energy to deal damage and channel a lightning. I really cannot see a good use for Static Discharge. Yes you can use the power that heals the defect but then you're spending another 1 energy to heal again. Just a trap imo.

[@ValVassily]

I feel like a way to help NL understand focus is to put it in terms that he understands. So, NL, focus is like strength with a sword boomerang. The more orbs you channel the better focus is because it isn't just +1 damage on a lightning orb, it is +1 damage for all lightning orbs. So if you have 3 lightning orbs channeled and gain 1 focus you basically get the damage you would from channeling a fourth lightning orb. I am sorry if this sounds condescending I'm just tired of seeing you pass up on things like defragment. Thank you for your time.

[@davidhong1934]

At this point, you're more or less talking to other members of chat. NL doesn't come over to KZbin that often.

[@ValVassily]

I can dream.

[@fallouthirteen]

Does focus apply to evoking too? Because if so he could have made his high energy tempest even better.

[@ValVassily]

Yes it does.

[@lorenzomorgan2178]

9:00 Just going to point out, you drank a draw potion, with 2 reprograms in hand, without playing one of them.

[@jackhealy3328]

Not gonna lie... This video was absolute and utter torture. Mostly because of Eggo scrolling past the cards he was drawing with Seek 100,000,000,000,000,000 times and never noticing.

[@minsklit5811]

Jack Healy Not as bad as that pot play though

[@fawcksy5841]

for future reference "Don" means "to put on" or "wear" not "give up"

[@PMasterFlex]

20:47 I could hear the gears grinding in his head from 3000 miles away. So proud of NL

[@ILikePi31415926535]

You keep the Red Mask if you use it in that event.

[@Gyohdon]

oh my god, watching him pass over cards with seek is so painful

[@eternaltom7091]

Someone count how many times egg missed Aggregate while his cursor hovered over it.

[@cookiedragon8234]

Eternal Tom SO frustrating oh my God 😂

[@Zebo12345678]

Not everyone looks at their cursor while they search for things. It's like pointing at words while you read a book. Not everyone does that.

[@KingUnKaged]

22:33 can we just make Mind Blast a meme? It's every day at this point

[@ChozotheBozo]

Oh boy, NL finally gets to use his DAE PROGRAMMING? classes as his video titles now

[@glitchxero4687]

NL, thinking: "Ok, I need to find these cards in my deck quickly so I don't waste the audience's time. After all, they *MUCH* prefer I play quickly than well." NL: Scrolls past the cards in his haste, taking 3x longer to find the ones he wants than if he'd taken his time. NL: Never removes non-combo, non-draw cards he doesn't use much from hand to slim deck down and make seek more efficient. NL: "I know I must be driving you guys crazy looking for these cards..."

[@Gyohdon]

NL please learn to value aggregate/double energy in the Defect you can have infinite turns if you combine those with card draw

[@Victriona]

Thanks for being my gateway into the drug that is Slay the Spire, Egg. I can’t stop playing this game now.

[@kcinnick91]

1007 Missed the perfect on Donu and deca by 1. All you have to do in this one is just upgrade your seeks and just chain into hyper beams and meteors. 1 Aggregate is usually enough to fuel the turn, if not just throw a double energy in.

[@ReinZ_96]

I was soooo close to beating this one. I got so close but just didn't have enough block to last long enough in the final boss. Added zero cost costs, all for one, and had like 3 seeks. And got a mind blast at the end. Was doing like 200 damage on turn one if I had drew one of the seeks.

[@andrewdevita629]

Will this be the day that Egg learns about focus?

[@jamesgray4633]

Andrew DeVita doubt it

[@RiskOfBaer]

Honestly, if you don't understand why focus is so damn important immediately after interacting with the mechanic, there's no hope for you. It's like not understanding why strength is so important for the Ironclad.

[@ruhruhmero1330]

No

[@andrewdevita629]

But at least he got MIND BLAST

[@PurpletracksStudios]

Andrew DeVita nope

[@xJamanz]

Watched this on 2x speed and could pick out the combo cards pretty easily... This video has shown that NL is blind.

[@cecilandblues]

Using seeks to pull the aggregate, double energy and tempest was my long term strategy in this daily. Once I got apotheosis it was possible to pull every card needed for the combo as long as I drew one seek. Going up against the Awakened was a problem because of the 2nd phase. I have no damn idea why when I watch NL's dailies he sometimes fights different bosses on the 3rd act.

[@thatpedanticcommenter5847]

Slay the Spire Drinking Game: Take a shot every time NL scrolls past a card he needs!

[@milkduds1052]

my dude the misplays are absolutely out of control edit: the wombo combo is out of control though kudos for that

[@Bbhhskooow24]

The turbo + glacier play, or should i say misplay, made me scream at the screen

[@minsklit5811]

Raul Talpes Still doesn't top the Sacred Pot Play

[@Bbhhskooow24]

Minsk Lit you mean the binding of isaac pot one when he walks on spikes twice instead of blowing up the pots ?

[@Ectar2003]

NL, always grab aggregate with your first seek and play it immediately. Every seek reduces the value of aggregate by removing cards from your draw pile. I know you're not actually going to read this; this comment is for me >_

[@edengoodwin62]

how to win as the defect: upgrade seek, energy cards, focus cards and summon lightning have multiple seeks >seek: choose seek, plus energy cards >play energy cards >seek: choose focus cards and summon lightning >have a fuck tonne of energy and high focus lightning >play summon lightning, kill almost everything you can also chain this infinitely if you have deep breath by doing the following: >seek: seek, deep breath, energy/focus cards >deepbreath >repeat x times, >play extra cards as your hand gets full >eventually play lightning and then fucking murder everything

[@forshor1998]

I think egg forgot that not every card exhausts, hence why he was scared to play any card that's part of his victory condition.

[@ShokkuZaMonki]

All I required for this daily was Aggregate, Double Energy, Seek, and Tempest. Hmmm, 400+ damage randomly distributed among all enemies you say? Don't mind if I do.

[@uverdog]

On this daily I had 3 Seeks like NL, but I used Mind Blast and All For One, to abuse Mind Blast, so I did 300+ damage per turn due to all my other 0 cost cards

[@TBomb15]

I aint even mad. I'm surprised he saw that play. I saw it too right at the very end of my run. unfortunately, I was on 4 hp at that point and my aggregate was in my discard pile.

[@1995baza]

Should use a potion when you mimd blast to artifact so you don't loose your focus

[@Gyohdon]

9:02 If you have 2 reprograms, and you're going to use a swift potion, why wouldn't you use one?

[@jamesrawls4173]

At 22 minutes he finally figured out the combo

[@Crackers2796]

When you have so many free cards off of the seek plays and yet you don't realize that you can be making genetic algorithm amazing

[@A_Casual_NPC]

Yo egghead, maybe you should really turn off fast mode until you've got the hang of the defect a bit better? When you play with fast mode on, you also start to play faster for some reason. Give yourself a bit more time to think things through bud. Gonna help a lot with the misplays and score I think.

[@umbaupause]

But video output though.

[@dairysplash1060]

Niels van Asten I agree, but then the comments will be flooded with "turn on fast mode"

[@JUdrums]

I don't really get why you wouldn't play Aggregate whenever possible. I't has no downside, on the contrary you're always gonna be able to play your whole hand.

[@itsokaytobewhite3905]

Killing with Mind Blast while you have 50 energy is a High Testosterone Alpha play.

[@vettemaster1996]

"I think I've made some mistakes". You have no idea...

[@Witty42191]

Both May 2nd and 3rd's dailies I've fought Awakened One instead of Donu and Deca at the end and I'm not sure why. Anyone else fight Awakened One?

[@PTMxCh00bX]

I love how he already has a guaranteed kill and spends half a year picking his next cards from Seek....

[@susanbataju]

Umm..DAE *pointers

[@tgoose2209]

3 seeks + apotheosis made for some turn 1 kills.

[@Vicerion17]

"I want to add defence to the deck" *immediately transforms a frost orb+draw card* I swear the misplays from the very start are just getting worse and worse with each new episode, but what truly kills me is how he acts like things are supposed to be this difficult and that it is impressive he gets through it which also clearly means he's getting better at playing rather than the dailies be just being that easy enough to compensate for his badness.

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

good to see NL's simple math skills are still abysmal

[@VidyeoGamerer]

6:20 Never change, I live for these misplays.

[@etopowertwon]

Dat dad's combo.Nice.

[@markushamilton1554]

25:10 Me: Turbo + Reinforced body and ypu take no dmg NL: What is a Turbo?

[@phero2]

That TURBO you EGG!

[@EpicNade]

NL FOCUS IS SUPER IMPORTANT

[@abrahamthomas4]

“That was a bit of a frustrating encounter, as is this one so far”...kills all enemies with 2 cards on the opening draw 🙄🤔

[@mightyhero370forloops3]

Ending was so hard too watch

[@Noelwiz]

I’m going to pass this by reference to my friends

[@GizzPill]

Putting the Seek in Seek and Destroy

[@JokingJames2]

I'm pretty sure you should be taking every Stack offered to you when you have a deck of over 50 cards

[@minsklit5811]

JokingJames2 Something something I warned you about stairs

[@minsklit5811]

JokingJames2 Also, did you see the pot play in ep 640 of TBOI?

[@Sunderfury]

"I think i've made some mistakes."

[@PTMxCh00bX]

How can you miss so many turbo plays

[@Alowishius]

Man, why didn't he seek for the card that gives him a ton of energy

[@Alcynd]

"This daily is extremely difficult" Wut... How to win this daily and score highly: Draw for seek Seek for aggregate and the other seek. Seek for double energy and tempest. Aggregate>double energy(x2 if you're lucky)>tempest. Kill everything in one or two turns Seek is a disgusting card... E: HE HAS MORE SEEKS THAN I DID AND HES STILL TAKING FOREVER AHHHHHHHHH! THIS IS A 15 MINUTE DAILY.

[@loknaz97]

Donning the red mask doesnt remove it

[@MrZelnoth]

Happy learned to combo. To bad he screwed up the last fight. Also he should pay more attention to potions, both the draw and the block would have been better than the 2 artifacts he had.

[@nickpeebles7541]

can you seek into seek and aggregate then seek into seek and double energy, then seek into double energy and tempest for 40 orbs?

[@loknaz97]

Why didnt you take multi cast? -.-

[@RobertN734]

Chosen Undead, Seek Seek Lest

[@a3aan240]

Are you..... Actually good at daily challenges?!? Ooooh I had the exact same deck archetype as egghead.

[@hoosekisea]

So many misplays in the first 5 minutes... I think he can read, if the egg did that he would win, i just say

[@livingfailure3413]

But he did win...

[@OhNoTheFace]

Rushing is why he will likely stay meh at this game

[@Hexxstaff]

[Pass By Value]? More like [Pass Over The Card I'm Looking For Like A Thousand Times]. Oh, dear Egg "/

[@alexwansss]

Gurl this video gave me motion sickness with all dem scrolling

[@assiaisindegyara4905]

I imagine its a lot harder for most people because theyv litterally never played the defect before. You would have a major edge. Also i dont know how the run goes i dont watch these videos it just auto moved into the video and i thought id put in my twl cents

[@loknaz97]

Old seek is so OP xD

[@vladdangel]

More dailies... yay. At least it's the defect I guess.

[@SmiteTheJinx]

for the love of god. PLAY. FUCKING. TURBO.

[@IsaaX2]

NL seriosly, you need to stop for a moment and think in what are you doing. You make so many mistakes (and mistakes you dont even notice) cause you dont simple stop for 5 second to think about what you are gonna do and keep playing cards mindless. TLDR: Just try to take it more slowly.

[@SamuraiFoochs]

Isaac Bravo García No but see YOU FOOL ah well life goes on. Happens every time. He doesn't want to learn, which I'd be fine with if he didn't then blame things like bad draw for so many of his misfortunes.

[@fallouthirteen]

The thing that is just the worst is when he plays so fast that he plays cards in the wrong order (yeah NL, playing double energy is perfect before the card that gives you a ton of energy).

[@PngunPr]

Why did my boy not replace genetic algorithm? It’s not good in an insanity deck.

[@Hyo9000]

Watch rhapsody. He knows how to play the Defect, it'll save you a lot of time learning it

[@2210omega]

NL pls stop you're killing me

[@Tacobell1384]

Has 3 weeks can grab 7 cards from his deck and has a way to get over 4 energy but doesn't take double hyper beam? Wtf NL

[@autumnhardwick8578]

certain future is the least fun, most annoying modifier. sure it might make things harder but honestly it just makes you have very little control over it and cant make choices, which is most the fun of the game

[@1337Question]

319 - Greatquestionfran.

[@COFFEE_WEEB]

Nah, the poor play was not playing turbo

[@Kompotamus]

Egg Daddy pls, read!

[@abdoobaset6100]

i loved this one lol

[@PositronPlays]

DAE

[@fallouthirteen]

Why does he keep doing sunder->hyperbeam? Like any 0 cost or any other energy gaining card would just be better. If sunder kills something so would hyperbeam and if it doesn't then he's out of energy. I mean turbo could have helped a few times (0 cost, +2 energy, and a void goes into the discard pile of the 50+ card deck). Edit: Oh god, it gets worse. He's only played this character a handful of times, READ WHAT THE DAMN CARDS DO BEFORE PLAYING THEM.

[@matthewlittle9475]

NL you were too lost in the combo that sometimes you overlooked easy kills and took stupid damage

[@frozenstar0]

4:25 NOOOOOOO

[@marcomagano7342]

You silly, silly man. For the 100th time, wearing the red mask does NOT mean losing it. If I was an angry teenager I would've clicked off the video right then and there.

[@IndelacioLetsPlay]

Could've easily called this "seek and destroy" I get the feeling chat is trolling you calling them hard, I guess it could just be anti their playstyle.

[@ninjack11]

seek = op

[@luizmarcialmoreirapires7409]

classic NL, he thinks too much and forget to read what the cards do (face palm)

[@stormRed]

comment section is mean again :o

[@Nafanya_has_fun]

23:00 - ???

[@sonofhades57]

You know, you'd actually do well if you took the time to read cards. You're making the cardinal sin of playing too fast when there's no incentive for doing so. Slow your roll, NL.

[@knmrt2760]

He doesn't know the character well yet he still rushes his turns... Slow down and pay attention to the cards...

[@jaypham3393]
