Slay the Spire - Northernlion Plays - Episode 164 [Swap]

[@SwogFrog]

Hey NL, I know you won’t see this, but I started balding at 19 recently. I’ve been watching your videos since ~episode 80 of isaac, and I wanted to say that I’m completely at peace with it thanks to you. Thanks for the company

[@thecreaterXY]

SwogFrog You can be egg-son! Its all coming together!!!

[@DonMehkah]

Only a few perfect heads were made, the rest are covered with hair

[@RematodeRanger]

the virus is spreading... dear god.

[@snobber69]

Dude I wish I was bald, imagine the money you save on haircuts

[@somos_pendehos]

Dankest Donger but imagine the money you make by letting your hair overgrow then selling it

[@Orillion123456]

I just love watching him ignore energy and block potions because his inventory is full of strength potions that do nothing for him.

[@charleybrewster6363]

Me too it makes me so hard

[@knmrt2760]

God that daily went sour pretty quickly xD

[@kasperersson8743]

19:52 "let's put up as much block as possible", doesn't play the Defend.

[@markushamilton1554]

Are you new? NL is unable to se the difference between 1 and 0

[@AsianGamerKenji]

Markus Hamilton he’d make a terrible computer

[@johnathanroth6205]

Are you alright? He had buffer, he took 0 damage. lmao

[@Marymarzipan]

That presidential candidate quip tho

[@claytonsturm236]

Reminding us why we love our quick Hwhitted egg daddy

[@ZebraLord13]

I feel like your main problem is that you play too safe at campfires. Resting so often means that you miss upgrading your key cards; so you take more damage, causing you to need to rest even more often. Have some more faith in yourself; you don't need to rest at half health on the first floor. Far better to make your deck able to stomp everything before they hit you.

[@ivangood7121]

Try frost build. It is good if you take focus . And you should with any orb build except plasma .

[@cacs2201]

Ivan good somehow he thinks focus is bad...

[@ivangood7121]

Caio Prado what he did is he read it one time said whaaaaaat and hated it ever since

[@Tacobell1384]

+Caio Prado focus is literally just orb strength I don't understand how he doesn't get that by now.

[@snickersonson3732]

Thank God this is NL’s job. What would happen if he made such missplays on a real job

[@denislomakin247]

28:30 "You always loop before you leap, that's what I've always said" I died

[@autumnhardwick8578]

You know you can use an ancient potion to negate the Chosen's hex. That's what i usually save them for

[@Schindlabua]

Using it to get permanent +4 Strength from Flex is soooo nice too

[@cacs2201]

Nicholas Hardwick the best usess I would say are to use against The Chosen or against Snecko

[@fiiiiilth]

Not that NL is gonna see this, but the beta branch is specifically set to have only (almost only?) Defect dailies for now.

[@Steejo]

I died super early and rage deleted the video so I've no idea what score I got hahaha - EDIT: OMFG you died at the EXACT same place as me.

[@Mysticfateee]

I came down here hoping to see you commenting something along the lines of "I got 65 on this daily. i beat NL by 10 points..."

[@PngunPr]

For the beginning, Rainbow is his top-end damage. Wow.

[@ChozotheBozo]

24:35 in what world do you just not play Thunder Strike there. I know NL sometimes thinks he has 0 energy when he has 1, but good lord you had 3 my man

[@alexwansss]

No, for once it ain't your poor plays, that was a really rough daily.

[@swiggybooty3210]

Yeah I didn't make it past the second floor. I had won every defect daily up until it too

[@jaegerdoesblitz5418]

That daily was just fucking atrocious. I beat the first boss and lost to the first 2nd floor Elite. Defect is already tricky, and that daily made it just beyond annoying

[@Htown1738]

Nuclear battery better than an energy relic...ok...

[@phero2]

"Mindblast for 3???" I lolled

[@dwntherabbithole9785]

no egg... they didnt remove campfires... you are just skipping them

[@ShieldMasterLambert]

Power run, doesn't even look at buying Forcefield from the last shop.

[@Tacobell1384]

NL if you are going for a power/lightning build, why skip capacitor and barrage?

[@wesleygeissler9571]

Hey guys, I've been fooling around with the defect a bit, and I really like the dark orbs. Is a build around them viable?

[@Gyohdon]

MUST BE A SPEEDRUN

[@TheVilivan]

My boi, where's the Dead Cells video?

[@PngunPr]

Why does Magnetism have the same power sign as infinite blades?

[@smith040296]

What he was actually on time? And I was late? I call bs.

[@owenseee]

I know you've been given this tip in the past, and that you're quite busy with recording, but it would really benefit you to just take your time a little more. Plan your hand before playing it, decide how cards fit in your deck and even if you make a mistake, you can use that for future reference. Also the defect really struggles with blocks, there are very few substantial commons in its class, they should be prioritised.

[@UglyFatNerd]

This might be a stupid question, but if I buy this game while it's in beta, will I have to purchase it again when it is the full release?

[@zeth222snowformer]

Fat Rugged Stacks no

[@UglyFatNerd]

Okay thanks!

[@dennischristensen7307]

Play Tempest for 0 energy, expect it to give channel 1 lightning.. pro play

[@MisuVir]

Upgraded tempest gives X+1, so would have worked. But seems NL keeps forgetting his cards aren't upgraded.

[@MrLunchbox1337]

"A plain sentence with no humorous content. *DRY COUGH* Heh-Heh!"

[@phero2]

Get some orbs and use storm!

[@dracula5752]

so close to 69 score feelsbadman

[@XxTheLonePhoenixX]

so many misplays at the end there sheesh

[@rokfish7242]

Why does he ALWAYS pick the non-upgraded cards, bro it kills me :'(

[@ahmedburic9367]

play cards quest

[@benjo2648]

MOIST!

[@davidhong1934]

Moist

[@jtroll462]

GREAT JOB THIS BARLY BEGAN AND YOU MISPLAY THE SHIT OUT OF THE GAME . YOU EVEN SAY "I need defends" GOS PAST LEAP,HOLLGAM then on the next fight barely uses his defends

[@calebmartin1054]

Stop with the dailies. They're making you worse at the game.

[@ILikePi31415926535]

Who cares if he's bad? He has more fun playing dailies, as do I, and people are still watching.

[@calebmartin1054]

Oh, I love that he's bad, I would just enjoy seeing him get better.

[@joaobatistaperinjunior953]

Then you will never enjoy anything that NL will ever play on his life.

[@calebmartin1054]

Lol yeah that's why I've been subbed to him for four years. Because I don't enjoy his stuff. Totally.

[@femimark5021]
