I know I'm late to the party, but I've been playing this game for a while, but just found NL's vids on it, and have been starting with the oldest vids and working forward, and I actually might lose my mind and have to skip forward to whenever he learns how to play the game. I normally really enjoy the trial and error process of learning how to play new games, but I am genuinely just 0_0 asdfghjkl

Yeah... He just turns the heals into damage, but with it in the front you would actually negate incoming damage as well. Not to mention the boss would have to kill it before it can kill the damage dealer, since your not drawing your not gonna trigger heals besides the regen going. I downloaded the trial version after watching him play this game though, if the game isn't too expensive I'm gonna pick it up I'm thinking ^^

First, yay on improvement with capacity. Second, that champ should be in front regardless. It has a ton of life and damages enemies by being healed (or has spikes). The heal build with a lot of life and your back line tactic means you're throwing heals at a unit that may not even be damaged. You want him to take damage so the heals are not just triggering his ability, but are also actually doing what they say on the tin.

Yea, NL has to stop putting his champ on a pedestal, it's just another unit, and units are only good when player to their strengths. You don't see me putting my Animus of Will infront of my Awoken Hollow. Exhibit A) 30:58, literally could have done 145 extra damage to the boss if tank unit was actually tanking. Thankfully in this instance it didn't matter because frostbite is absoulutely insane on bosses.

The mental gymnastics one has to do to decide that a unit with 0 attack and has text that encourages it to be damaged should be in the back, like come on dude. The character model is literally just two huge shields. Or even the fact that you can watch the unit do literally nothing 20 rounds in a row. I don't think the game can do anything to make this more obvious.

It makes sense to mention it though, Egg isn't gonna think about it otherwise. Like, if he was playing The Binding of Isaac but just assumed Devil Rooms must be traps so he refuses to go into them, why wouldn't you mention that they're worth entering? If he found a way to win with the tank in the back, sure let him do whatever, but he's losing specifically because of it and the second he puts the tank in the front is the second his winrate triples without any extra work or thought required. Optimal play isn't required, but not utilizing the Champion at all is simply a misunderstanding that will always keep him from winning, and he's not considering if it's a mistake even after multiple full runs of watching his DPS die and then the tank just be slaughtered by the boss for free over and over.

Stop putting your champion in the back! He benefits from healing, so the whole point is you're supposed to heal him after he takes damage. Plus, he's totally useless when the front unit dies as he does no damage. Let him soak it up so the damage dealers can get a few extra hits in!

Hey NL, super pogged about the game here's a few things i picked up from watching you (and playing a lot of the demo) 1. Incant units effectively have synergy with each other, unlike rejuvenate as by placing many incant units on the same floor you can get more buffs out of each spell 2. I'm sure you get this a lot from other commenters but positioning matters, especially for bossfights, a 0 atk unit in the backline will always add 0 damage against a boss, while in the front it could buy valuable time for your other units 3. AOE damage is great but once you can deal enough to consistently wipe out support units, dealing more won't always have much of an impact, especially in bossfights which seem to be your weakest point 4.

Hey NL! Some tips: 1 Please start putting your best guys on the middle floor turn 1, so you have more time to buff them out of control before enemies reach them, enemies being on the first floor doesn't matter if they die as soon as they get to the second floor anyway. 2 On the 1st floor just put a minion with endless that doesn't matter too much or has quick 3 Multistrike+rage is insane, repeatedly buffing a unit already with multistrike will give you an easy really fun win. 4 Take the challenge on the first 3 encounters at least, it gives you a good advantage and never is bad enough to destroy you 5 When you fight a lot of enemies with rage, don't put units on the first floor, stack 2nd floor (or 3rd floor if they have haste) so there is time for the rage to burn off and they get weaker by the time they get to your minions 6 One the awoken champion, stack the upgrades that increase his max health, he is the best tank in the game

So we have a unit, that gives us a massive benefit from using heals on it, and we want to use heals on it. So we can put this unit in the front to soak damage so that we get both actual heal value and rejuvenate value right? Nah, behind the train steward you go. I tease because I love, enjoying the content very much.

For anyone wondering. The way you calculate the triangular number (the sum of the numbers previous to a specific number, I.e. frostbite in this, poison in StS.) is to use the formula n(n+1)/2 or n^2+ n/2. So 20 stacks of frostbite = (20x21)/2 which equals 110.

Really loving the series! I kinda don't want to backseat and worry about who I'll come across since English isn't my first language but...I do have a tip. Your strategy with rejuvenation + damage is good, you do however get more value from healing cards playing them on damaged units and a unit that hasn't got an attack can give opportunities to other units so they can sneak in an extra attack. Can't wait to buy the game, really looks like a fun time! Great to see you having fun too. Cheers!

It's unbelievable how much better you're playing today than in your last batch. The only piece of advice I have to offer is that I still think you're underestimating how valuable getting that 6th capacity is so you can put 3 good units to a floor. Even with this deck that was extremely mana hungry, I still would have gone +cap instead of +ember so you could get your incanters going. Alternatively, you could have played the stygian champion instead since he is size 1, meaning you can get 3 to a floor without having to upgrade capacity.

That time you were using spells on the tank instead of the unit that attacks the enemy with regeneration killed me a bit inside. I can see how much you have improved, however, and the way you explain every move is something that made me watch your videos for years. I can't wait for the Monster Train Golden Goblet episode, in the future :p

Awoken's champion with spikes is effectively game won automatically. You get, if i'm not mistaken, up to 40 spikes by the final boss. Then there are also a unit and an artefact that increase spike damage per stack... My Awoken champion by herself managed to take ~800hp off of a final boss in one of my winning runs. 3:15 I see NL still struggles with the concept of a "tank" unit. No worries, we're not in a rush, you can figure it out at your own pace, you're doing ever so great! 4:18 "What do we like here?" Well, NOT killing the loot goblin, apparently... 25:00 Nl's logic: 50hp and deal damage when healed - NOT a tank, 10hp - IS a tank. 26:45 I know i keep repeating myself, but god damn. He puts a tank with NO ATTACK in the back, a tank who deals damage when healed, puts a fragile unit WITH an attack in the front, and then keeps wasting heals on a unit with full health (instead of letting it be actually damaged first) so it would attack... I literally can't even. NL, what are you doing... 34:45 "We don't have any Aoe, at all", while holding an AoE spell in his hand and casting it 10s later... 38:55 Class, pay attention. This is why you always, ALWAYS take spikes on Awoken champion. Always.

Loving the game, but don't ya think the Awoken champion would be so much better as a front unit? Then instead of always healing it for 0 you would actually get the heal, and the unit behind it is defended and gets to attack more.

Doesn't Hoarfrost Effigy kick butt? If you've got the +20 Frostbite on three units, then you cast the Effigy, that's 120 frostbite on one unit, like a boss. Seems almost OP in this build.

Love the content! Similar to other comments, keeping your high health champion in the front is ideal not only due to its low ATK but also it getting damaged allows you to get even more benefit from the heals
