Stabbed a Million Times!

[@toddgriffith9042]

Dude having the loss in the main makes the whole experience feel like way more stakes - felt like I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Upvote for some of these to continue coming on the main

[@20Bartlett]

I love when you include losses in the uploads because I learn as much from the "mistakes" as I do watching you just be an expert lol

[@Brondon96]

I was just about to ask where can I see some losses? Since I don't get to watch the streams! Losses are interesting too

[@sathrielsatanson]

@@Brondon96 There is a Ballorlord Unedited channel where all the vods are uploaded.

[@subscribetopizzatheonlyrea7322]

In that channel there is also the low budget spire series which does include some losses

[@Brondon96]

​@@sathrielsatanson thank you, I will check it out right now 👍🏼

[@cqstle-]

Had to fast forward the run looking for the loss :( They're nice too but give me wins on this channel :) After a long day, it's nice to know everything's going to be alright :)

[@dv5217]

Me excited after seeing Chem X and Gremlin Horn: 15:37: 😭

[@kellmucious]

I still take Chem X every time - there’s just too much fun to be had.

[@Reebok4]

What Chemical X??? Buying the Bomb was not even considered...

[@CameronBrown-ph9do]

Chem X goes hard with malaise for sure

[@Reebok4]

​@@CameronBrown-ph9dosure it does. And that run too. Good old Chemical X, so much X cost cards found.

[@miketerzakis1022]

Loved seeing the loss at the start! It makes the video more unpredictable and it was nice to see that even the greats can lose.

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

24:20 secret frozen eye. The cards were drawn in the exact order they were viewed. 😂

[@thekryken]

The decision tree matrix on that repto turn with 4 minions and all those cards would have absolutely broken me

[@CardCheckerStS]

Timestamps for when Baalor picks up the cards in the thumbnail (Finisher and Shiv Cards): Cloak and Dagger: (37:30) (Act 1 Boss - Pandora's Box) Finisher: (37:30) (Act 1 Boss - Pandora's Box) Blade Dance: (44:01) (Floor 20 Combat) Cloak and Dagger #2: (48:18) (Floor 21 Combat) Cloak and Dagger #3: (53:28) (Floor 23 Elite) Stabby stabby!

[@SheyD78]

Something didn't feel quite right initially, then it's 'oh, that's why'

[@reee324]

the way some people in these comments are insulting you already is disgusting man. ignore those idiots, seeing you lose on vid is an excellent learning experience and frankly, who cares if you take the fun pick over the good pick?? games are meant to be fun, and its not like you're playing a hardcore competitive world record run streak or something

[@mnadhil1932]

exactly. love when people forgot that mister baalor is, in fact, a human: he DOES want to play off meta to have fun

[@skyeschlueter9877]

26:11 - When Baalor gets into his third easy pool combat here, he has already been through 3 Elites, counting the 1 hp Elite. He took on more Elites than regular combats up to that point.

[@whotheo4878]

Him being the kind of person to take chemical x is half the reason I love watching him play this game.

[@finnethew]

The starting run was so promising, but sometimes you’ve just gotta pick the fun decision to switch things up!

[@StopSkyler]

babe wake up new baalor video

[@SkilledTadpole]

But babe, I'm falling asleep to new Baalor

[@tcr7]

I love taking a speculative Chemical X on Silent. It's tough for me to pass up. There are just so many good X-cost cards. The last time I took one speculatively, I found a Malaise in the next floor.

[@troygarcia6674]

At 26:14 I didn't know bane would trigger twice because the first hit applied the poison from envenom. I could a reasoning for either way.

[@FerretOverlord]

At 1:55:49, why did Paper Krane reduce the attack from 60 to 24? I thought it reduced incoming damage BY 40%, not TO 40%. Shouldn't it be 36?

[@FerretOverlord]

Oh, I didn't realize Leg Sweep turns you around in that fight. Neat!

[@treyatkins4660]

​@FerretOverlord As an addendum: Every single card (at least I know of no exceptions) that targets can turn you around vs sword and shield.

[@Soadaa5656]

Love the occusional lost because I never fully expect it and I'm just wondering how the hell do you get out of this situation (spolier, you probably dont lol).

[@gux3172]

Would it be possible if you could put the date the run is from in the description? I watch the vod channel aswell and I can't tell if I have watched this before ngl

[@dbarnes8923]

You don't remember if you watched an entire video but you'll remember a random date on said video?

[@gux3172]

​@dbarnes8923 I watch the Unedited VODS channel that posts his content earlier than this channel. If he put the date in the description on this channel, I could look on the Unedited VODS channel and see if I have watched the run already as the VODS channel has the date the stream was done on it I'm pretty sure. I watch a ton of this content and I have realised it can be difficult for me to tell if I have seen a run or not when I'm watching runs on both channels. It is a pretty niche problem I must admit but I'd imagine it would be rather easy for the editor to put the date in the description and I would appreciate it

[@Baalorlord]

I'll keep it in mind for future uploads

[@Baalorlord]

I've considered it, but we already have the run history link in the description, which can tell you the date (by hovering over the "x days ago"). I don't want to bloat the description, so I think that should be good enough

[@geneticwolf8571]

1:18:32 ah the rare moment where the juzu bracelet would be good

[@IkEisawesome7]

43:56 He's starting to believe...

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

I love the practice run

[@samchill3707]

I have watched countless hours of your game play. I think this is the first time I have ever seen you lose! I'd be happy to see more loses as I lose nearly all my A20H runs. Love your content!

[@Stacksonem]

If you check out his unedited channel he uploads the entire stream there. Wins and losses. I enjoy seeing the loses too because it’s always a teachable moment.

[@Senorgato029]

Shivs are my favorite silent archetype and finisher is one of my favorite cards this run bouta go crazy

[@Dekmakinson9]

Saying that end turn on silent is the best card in the entire game to boost the alg!!!

[@leaf_of_the_wind]

I love watching these runs which end in losses. It’s good to see those greedy gambles fail, so I’m less tempted to go for them myself

[@calebbaker7452]

Not that it happened this run, but something I've wondered: Are you more likely to take ring of the serpent if your silent has the bag of prep?

[@alpbatugecer8138]

I recently start to watch your videos. I understand that you are playing on slow tempo yet sometimes I feel like you are stop playing and watching the videos become hard. Maybe little editing will solve the problem. Anyway great content keep up the good work man

[@Cooldud863863]

Big fan of including some Ls

[@wolfsong5356]

I wonder if there’s an AI that can play this to watch how it plays. Will it take risk like humans do or do a simple pattern.

[@minipineapple45]

Iirc there is a channel on twitch that has an ai playing sts

[@bloodjunkie1919]

Jorbs has talked about this, most (all?) of the best players play very algorithmically, many having spreadsheets to help them track success with certain decisions, but with every run being exponentially more complex than a game of chess, with hundreds to thousands of complex factors to consider from before even entering floor 1, its near impossible to make an ai that will be able to achieve a high winrate

[@Raptor747]

Buying Chemical X when you have no X-cost cards and a deck with hardly anything in it is certainly a play...

[@DanielMcVicker]

Silent has three X-cost cards in her pool, all of which are made much stronger by chemX. With something like 98% of the game remaining to be played it makes finding and exploiting those synergies possible. I would argue that one possible line is chemX plus concentrate, which also plays into that synergy. Then you can look for cards like skewer, reflex, expertise and possibly tactician, all of which are uncommon. Add in terror (also uncommon) and you have card draw, energy, and massive damage in a tidy package, without considering rares. Just like clicking orange pellets without having a wraith form already in your deck, its one of those shop relics that is so strong on Silent that it can be worth prospectively picking one up to shape your deck around, especially since you won't see it again in the same run if you don't buy it now.

[@MrColinsworth1]

I think Baalor would admit that taking Chemical X was a mistake in that specific context though. Dash + Block Potion + Card Remove was the play. Taking the The Bomb was also a better option. He was basically guaranteed to take a bunch of damage on that first elite.

[@swordzanderson5352]

@@DanielMcVicker In the early game, where Silent struggles THE MOST compared to every other character, you don't really get to do that. In Act 2, maybe, sure.
