[@polariremixes5206]

Wondering why the video is nearly 2 hours, then Baalorlord picked up Frozen Eye and I realized.

[@krazy-kavman59]

I'm just understanding this comment 20 minutes it 😂

[@moartems5076]

Checked the lenght and knew he would pick it

[@rezuredragon]

I already like the new intro. Instead of making the viewer think "is he gonna win this one?" which is the case for 90% of the runs posted on KZbin, we're left wondering "oh what shenanigans are we gonna get with [this card] now?"

[@rezuredragon]

​@ChaosLord5129 You know what the card does, but do you know what combos and synergies come up in this specific run? Do you know which cards and relics dropped that made the card particularly notable? Isn't that the beauty of Spire, where the same card could be good or bad, or good in a different way depending on how the RNG goes?

[@ramies6159]

@ChaosLord5129Let’s say he upload a video and intro be like “if this not a sadistic nature deck i don’t know what is” with 2 Sadistic nature in thumbnail and ironclad, now without looking at the archives tell me what combo he accomplished.

[@ramies6159]

@ChaosLord5129 Congrats u got it wrong ( like completely off ), that should prove OP point.

[@rezuredragon]

@ChaosLord5129 You're still wrong because you don't know EXACTLY what Baalor got in the video he uploaded. Unless you mean to tell me you can just guess from the thumbnail the specific card combo he picked up in the video itself? You know what CAN synergize with the cards, but you don't know what combo Baalor managed to pick up. That's RNG. Did you manage to guess the Kunai pick up? What if Baalor picked up Storm of Steel before Kunai? What if he picked up Storm because he had a shiv/discard deck hybrid? oh wait, he didn't. You're still gonna have to figure out as the video goes on, how the deck was built around the cards in the intro.

[@johnvarley4561]

Actually, I win

[@zebfross]

I never take Frozen Eye because I like my runs to be mindless card-playing instead of heavily tactical. With Frozen Eye I always feel like I could've strategized better, ha.

[@justsomedude77]

Why didn’t you check the draw pile and calculate your next 3 turns? It really does slow stuff down

[@julienpaulhus4571]

This video got me so excited that it stop midway through a dead branch corruption run to watch it

[@pauldiamante9769]

Really love the short intros. Really makes watching the run that much more satisfying!!

[@RedMarzu]

The amount of Dagger Sprays appearing this run, game was really begging him to master it lol

[@shcottam]

Found you soon after i got slay the spire. Watching your videos has definetly helped with my decision-making and im already up to a-15 with silent!

[@rhejdneb3605]

Congrats on the progress! You'll be at a20 in no time at all.

[@janreinacher1]

coffee dripper straight into meat on the bone. that's the dream

[@SheyD78]

Really showing off the power of an early frozen eye plus draw/discard. Seemed like a middle of the road deck but the feet definitely put in work. Nice!

[@Not_Important75]

Ur commentary is always immaculate, I love the way you explain things you def sound like a teacher lmao

[@soysaucebananna]

Hey just had a video request. Would like to see either a tier list or guide on the common enemies and elites kind of like you did for the bosses.

[@Niyto]

Had a run with caltrops, sacred bark with two bronze potions (entropic brew). The heart killed itself.

[@reynauldwhistles2338]

That reminds me of one of my first heart kills #theFlameBarrierIncident

[@cblackford315]

Old video I know- but I just had a Silent run with Caltrops, Bronze Skin, Thorns potion, and a Dead Branch Caltrops. The Heart took 20+ damage per hit. It was glorious

[@tripwire202]

Just started watching. Love the new intro style, and am excited to settle down for a nearly two hour run :D

[@antagonisstic]

I found that Poison deck with 2 or 3 upgraded Catalyst are OP when we get to around 40 poison on a Boss. But Shivs can be OP as well though i like Poisons more and more.

[@pairot01]

Storm of Steel is one that I struggle to find a lot of uses for. The only good run I had with it was with Dead Branch, which got me my heart kill.

[@RayquaSr.]

Now that's an intro I can accept

[@ShadowServer]

Love watching these. Have you considered making a playlist for the Mastery Challenge? I started near the beginning but I'm sure I missed some videos and will never find them. :(

[@TheDashingdream]

What mods show you the chance of a potion, chance of rare cards and the event overview tab?

[@DiggleTime]

A mod call Infomod. If I remember correctly it's not on the steam workshop

[@Dravkwn]

Finisher with ink bottle and storm of steel. Just imagining when that frozen eye lets you know it's the next card so you could storm a hand of shivs and then do a huge finisher. /yummy

[@verdant2465]

1:36:50 Wasn't it better to Corpse Explosion the bird to deal 54 to the boss ?

[@reynauldwhistles2338]

Nu uhh, I wont elaborate.

[@marcusgusfre2888]

run starts at 4:06

[@firmanimad]

Hey guys, currently stuck on asc17 with Silent and Ironclad. Quite a dramatic difficulty spike. Any advices?

[@fatrickbateman9473]

Ironclad is a tricky character. You either stomp or get stomped I find. Best advice for him would be to lean into the ironCHAD and focus offence, trying to find alternative ways to block outside of block cards or just not block at all and try to heal your way up the spire, he’s got the means to do that. Silent has a really weak early game but gets ridiculous around act three. Try to be cautious through act one and two until you’re sure you can slap some fools with giga poison, shiv spam or just dance around them with discard/card draw nonsense. In essence, clad is chad, be aggressive early but keep an eye out for his busted cards and synergies for later on. Silent is not chad, play it safe until you have enough damage or have received a truly broken synergy out of nowhere, shuriken and one blade dance goes hard.

[@adjsmith]

Watching you, I've been thinking about Neow's Lament a bunch. It feels like a generally bad choice, especially compared to random common relic. It's a chain of gambles: Can you make it to that elite without any fights? And if you do, will the elite drop an uncommon or rare relic? And if it does, can your deck (which might be short on card picks now) still perform going forwards? Compared to simply "here's a boat thingy, have fun", that multi-gamble seems like a bad choice.

[@milksplash624]

Well, sometimes the map guarantees an elite before the 4th fight. That's when you really consider Neow's Lament.

[@maddermax22]

If you’re gambling on getting one elite, then yeah, it’s not a good option. As said above though, sometimes there’s a guaranteed elite snipe, and sometimes there’s a chance for a burning elite snipe, both of which are quite worth it. I also think you forgot that the two easy pool fights can still hurt if you roll a relic which doesn’t help combat, and jaw worm can easily take big bite with a bad draw order. There’s a bit of health saved on top of the free elite, which can help. I will agree that it’s rarely the best option though.

[@Saetanigera]

if the snipe is guaranteed, it's better than gain a common relic and never has a downside. (you simply can't reliably kill an elite that early and not pay with your face)

[@adjsmith]

@@Saetanigera It seems quite unlikely that an elite snipe would be 100% guaranteed. Even a single ? room has a 10% chance of being a monster, increasing by 10% for each ? room that does not have a monster in it. I'm not sure what the lowest floor an Elite can spawn on is (the Wiki is unusually silent on this - heavy Googling indicated some debate on whether it might be Floor 6 or 7, but nothing concrete). Lets go with floor 6. In order to get there and still have a card left in Neow's Lament, you need to pass 4-ish floors with no combats (first floor is always a combat; you can afford one combat along the way). That means at LEAST 3 ? floors (assuming one floor is a shop). So, even if you see a path with two monsters, one shop three ?, and an elite, you still have only a (0.9*0.8*0.7 =~) 50% chance of getting there with Neow's Lament intact. And then you might get there, kill the elite, and still end up with a common boat thingy anyways. Yes, it's not guaranteed that you'd kill a Floor 6 elite without taking a mouthful of damage, but then, if you aren't trying to snipe him, you don't have to fight him on floor 6 anyways - you can take some other path with more common fights / shops before you fight your first elite.

[@AemonnEx]

Great run! Imagine tingsha in the equation

[@danielmunchinsky3644]

man, I know its A20, but does he have a mod on to remove all upgraded cards from the pool?? XD It feels like none of the offered cards have come pre-upgraded

[@albertko1]

Storm of Steel hitting for exactly 69 against Nemesis... *nice*

[@OrionJA]

Why is Discovery a solution to Champ?

[@litteleven7257]

discovery+ is, just like nilrys codex. it's because you generate solutions to the fight since champ is a long fight and you can set up; discovery can give you catalysts, footworks, wraith forms etc that let you beat his second phase much easier.

[@OrionJA]

@@litteleven7257 Ah, thank you, that makes sense.

[@keithsauve1222]

At 13:27 , how come he is frail but the monsters are still doing the regular 10 damage?

[@ilangated]

frail decreases your block, you might be confusing it with vulnerable

Funny intro very good

[@danielvutran]

Amazin's ✈

[@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499]

Why is escape plan so good with frozen eye? It's 0 cost so it's not like you lose anything if a skill is not drawn

[@martonantoni575]

Time Eater, and Heart with its Beat of Death.

[@alacer8878]

It takes up a slot in the draw. If you draw only five cards per turn and one is useless, you've effectively only got four cards that turn. Better to be able to use that card consistently and make sure it's not occupying a slot a useful card could have had.

[@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499]

@@alacer8878 that made no sense to me at all.

[@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499]

@@martonantoni575 makes sense but if that's the only reason then its not THAT good, more like it saves you from a slight health loss in one or two situations all game

[@alacer8878]

@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499 Treat it like a curse. Sure it doesn't cost anything to play, but it's not *doing* anything either. It might as well be another Ascender's Bane. The whole purpose of the Bane is to take up one of the slots in a draw, leaving the player less to work with. Same principle applies here, if the card isn't doing anything.

[@damianboluminski8327]

Instant thumb up for the intro :)

[@chrisosborn6401]

Once again carrying shame, and denied the opportunity to master it. Do you have some past trauma you need to work through first?

[@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499]

I would always take accuracy. Even when I've no Shivs. They are so common you're bound to find one. Here you could have had 2 accuracy then a cloak and dagger straight away. That would pretty much see you through act 1

[@Setixir]

It's risky. 2 accuracy before any shivs is the same as two extra curses in your deck. On A20 you really can't afford to do that very often. Where as cloak and dagger/blade dance are both good even without accuracy

[@yijingtan2347]

You play too slow I cannot

[@fivetwoeighty7012]

He’s planning multiple turns ahead with frozen eye, of course this is gonna be a slower run.

[@Spade2351]

Watch in x2 speed

[@danielvutran]

This is why he's also 444x better than us, because he plays slower, aka smarter.✈

[@ClickBeetleTV]

I admit to being completely surprised by the Upgrade All Strikes and Defends decision

[@ConstantineIII]

I think that was a mistake. He played defend and strije si many times in act 2. Would have made the deck significantly stronger and let him path more agro.

[@hundinger1]

I don't get why he removed two strikes so far instead of shame (not finished watching yet). If you have two useless cards, why keep the one that potentially hurts you?

[@Wakasan626]

For mastery challenge, a self imposed challenge where a mastered card is where he wins a run with 2 copies of it, including curses and colourless cards

[@hundinger1]

@@Wakasan626 Ah, so he was hoping for a second one. Got it.
