You know Jester is completely busted when Tyler doesn't even realize their most powerful ability (snapping cards that give dice) and still steamrolls everything.

[@unfunnyguy1530]

it's only chapter 1, he's gonna get bent if he keeps doing this

[@maddog2314]

Yes, so many missed snap opportunities. Frustrated me a lot

[@VirtuesOfSin]

One thing I'd like to point out for Jester specifically: Having duplicate cards is a good thing, having singular cards is usually bad unless its a super good card or a dice replacer. The main reason is that finisher cards are extremely overpowered, so you want to push past your deck as quickly as possible. Also snapping is too good.

[@hoveringvan9961]

Yeah, really hurt to see him remove one Sweets

[@d.l.7416]

But you can only discard if you get both, so having two is not strictly better than just one. Like thinning will help, and yes sometimes having a second one so you can discard it would help, but other times having a second one will be just another useless card.

[@Jehty_]

You used the term "finisher cards". Does that mean that there are different finisher cards? And can you have multiple different finisher cards at the same time?

[@richardkurniawan6066]

@@Jehty_ yes, encore is a type of finisher, finisher cards are always in the end of the deck, thats just about it that means u are actually playing 2 decks with jester, your starting ones and a finisher pile at the end

“This strategy feels like cheating” is literally Dicey Dungeons.

[@pirilon78]

Its the opposite for me. I enjoy this game because on the later chapters battles get very tight but maybe im just bad

[@jeezuhskriste5759]

@@pirilon78 if the later chapters are hard, that doesn’t mean you’re bad. That means the game is well balanced. The early chapters are supposed to be somewhat easy, then the later ones scale up to match your skill level. Getting stuck on higher levels is completely normal.

[@societalmenace7952]

Hey man if the game cheats so should you

[@Gaswafers]

I remember losing my mind when I discovered that snapping cards like Bump caused them to create new dice. There was no doubt in my mind that he had the strongest limit break.

[@jakksonkobalt]

Just gonna say that the game's 'Finale' only unlocks after beating all 36 normal episodes. Also the halloween special episodes are super fun, don't actually know when they unlock but I think they are also after all 36 normal episodes. And episodes 2 and 3 of each character vastly change up that character's formula.

some of the ascensions change the characters enough to where they have their own unique play styles. Its worth at least looking at the different ascensions of all the characters.

[@disinterBaz]

33:41 you didn't get a chance to see it this run, but if you snap a card that says it returns the dice, you actually get the dice for free. For example here if you use Spatula so that you have two Boop+, you could snap them and get two extra sixes.

[@Denunion]

35:01 It would've been totally overkill, but it was possible to get yet ANOTHER turn and almost certainly deny buster even a single turn of his own: 2 on Boop & 4 on Bop to draw Inventor and High Voltage, use your other 4 on High Voltage, then you'd have a 6 left over and can duplicate Encore since it'd be technically next in the draw, even if it's disabled.

[@buttonasas]

It seems you can't encore twice in a row - the card just didn't show up for Tyler.

[@cad97]

[@randomdude7052]

PS again: the so-called ascensions change the character, for example the thief doesn’t steal whoever he’s fighting equipment for that battle, but instead gets to steal a card from them of his choosing for 12 countdown (affected by crowbar). Or warrior, where you get all of your equipment upgraded right out the gates, but get 1 curse every single turn.

[@NeverSnows]

Boss just chilling there, watching you spend 10 minutes on your turns to casually deal 63 damage. That is how playing Magic the Gathering feels.

[@Z_E_B_O]

would've been cool to see how you unlocked the Jester, but oh well... For those who want to know, each time Tyler fought the Jester, he moved down a floor until he appeared as the final boss last time and Tyler beat him. He said that he doesn't want to be Lady Luck's lackey anymore and he got unlocked as a new special character.

Yup, I sure do wish he included the story elements, but that isn't really how Tyler rolls sadly

@@drunkshinx yeah, but then you'd have to: option 1: save the inventor till the end (you'd have to be really lucky) option 2: hope the inventor comes up last (yeah no) option 3: widdle down your deck until there's just a bop, an inventor, and encore (lol, but no) option 4: cheat (might be something funny there, try it out! (slightly joking, but i do want to see the anti-piracy/anti-cheat thing for it))

[@Bobqwt]

I'm interested to see what could happen if you upgraded the one that returns your dice, have only the return your dice cards+inventor, and just see if infinite turns is viable. Like if you specifically aimed for it and tried to build around it.

[@WhirlyBeepBoops]

Funny, it's almost like I'm playing along with you - I played Jester for the first time this morning! I picked the Shield Bash pack myself and it was fun; charging up my Shield to deal big damage with the bash (it doesn't go away when you bash either - so if they don't hit you hard, you can scale your power to ridiculous levels. I could have made the fight with the Paper Knight go on forever if I wanted!) Getting Iron Shield later on was very helpful in helping me scale it quickly. I was able to snag some Hall of Mirrors+ and Duplicate cards as well, which of course was quite nice. Oh, and my character card was the Witch; they discard your current hand, which is nice if your desired cards are further in and you don't get matching cards.

I finally beat Elimination Round with Jester today, because I got a REALLY fast deck, + Dice Cannon and Inventor. I had my 4 Bops, 3 Boops, 2 Cauldron+, a Juggling Ball, 3 Duplicate, 1 Bump, 2 Buzzers, Inventor, and Dice Cannon+. On the final boss, on my first turn I set up my starting hand to be Inventor + Cauldron+ + Cauldron+, then on my second turn, I just passed to take enough damage to snap. And then I just kept snapping until I had only Dice Cannon and Inventor left, then toggled Inventor and went to town on the boss. Could have been a 1st turn kill if I was able to defeat the previous enemy without snapping, but the build is kinda terrible without Snap, as it's built around that as a wincon.

[@bobwilson00]

obviously it's not a big deal but you missed two snaps in the boss fight, the first wouldve given you two free sixes which couldve potentially given you more damage/extended the turn (it wouldnt have in this case), and the second didnt really matter since you already knew you could use all of the equipment anyways you also could've used the inventor on the encore on the second turn to get a third turn and kill the boss without it getting to attack you at all this was a great video! really enjoying the series so far! I might have to try this game out myself

[@shovel2187]

The Jester to me is probably the most fun character to play, but all of the characters are really unique and challenging in their own ways. Except the Warrior on Episode 1, he is really bog-standard. Though I understand why, he is the first character you play.

[@softpaw6234]

If you could thin your deck enough, boop+>inventor>encore+ seems like it would be an infinite combo

[@scottthegamer8205]

Try to get the Bear character you can play him by using The Thief to copy an Alchemist ability to turn into a bear, i accidentally did that and didn't know you can be a bear

[@shnupps765]

I've never played this game and barely watch this series but Jester looks like so much fun I might just play it despite not playing card based rogue-lites.

[@pandalion342]

ngl half the reason boop+ is broken is if you snap it you get free dice. also, jester my beloved, they are the most fun character in my opinion. I once did a curse build for them and got bear.. had to wait until tyler actually played them because theyre the last character and are therefore sorta spoilers? especially when you read their lines, because the game sorta has plot that tyler is just kinda ignoring ;^;

Im really wondering if you snap Abilities that Return dice/give new dice would basically Generate you 2 new dice, making it Without a doubt the strongest power that exists in the game.

[@overlordlaharl1963]

Yes it does, it work by playing the highest possible dice you can in the card you snap too. So it always does the maximum possible damage and card like duplicate and bump actually give you 4 new dice for free.
