it feels like he has so many options to scale

Bless you two Negro Necros for the carry

Finally got my first Skelly win after like 12 consecutive losses. Turns out it's piss easy to go infinite with her. I've gone to a4 with Regent mostly off of Void Form, I fucking love that card.

Honestly I don't think any of the act 3 bosses are hard. In the first game you could get hard countered by one of them and you had to think a bit but these ones you can just unga through. I have more issues getting through mr. Krabs most of the time.

You can also draw your best damage cards on intangible turn making fight unnecessary long(that increases chance of dying), at least doorman gives you free turn to set up

>>737001945
A9 is the biggest jump in difficulty and basically acts as a wall. Even in A10, the hardest part is still getting to the act 3 bosses.
If you can over come A9, then A10 is very doable. But that isnt to say double bosses is easy though.

So I've been playing this game for couple days now, never touched the first one but having lots of fun still in spite of losing all the fucking time. I just keep playing on random selection and slowly go up the ascensions trying to learn all the characters and the disparity between them is starting to grow pretty quick. I'm at A6 on Necro/Defect A5 on Silent A3 on Regent and completely and utterly hardstuck A2 on Ironclad. I feel like I have no clue what I'm doing with the last two most of the time. Silent/Defect/Necro sort of seem to build themselves, tons of options for each with most of them working great. Most success on Regent was with the forge setups, I tried building around making/spending stars as well but I'm probably not doing it right, it never really goes anywhere. And wtf do I do with Ironclad, please help. The two wins I had were with Hellraiser which just made it into autobattler deck basically once it got going and then with the cards for block not disappearing across turns and getting double block which ended up just facetanking everything. All other attempts I either die somewhere mid-run or scrape to the last boss and get destroyed. Not really sure what should I be going for, I tried building around vulnerable and exhaust as that seems what devs wanted me to do but it was shit and seeing people have consistent winrates with Ironclad makes me think its just skill issue and there actually are some solid setups that I'm missing. But enough blogging tbqh, game is very good and even chain-losing is pretty enjoyable and it makes the time pass quickly. Fuck Ironclad though.

>>737002781
Burning blood should trigger at the start of a fight

>>737002904
Ironclad is the worst and people getting winsteak on him just savescum

>>737001858
Clearing A10 is heavily dependent on how your first of two boss fights go, and if you have a healing relic or not. Eat shit for either one? Tough luck

I finally finished A10 on all characters and can now start playing the main game: beta branch and arguing about balance changes.

What an utterly ridiculous deck.
I'm starting to enjoy ironclad in this game, even if I'm still bad at him.

>>737003164
I have more issues with Regent who I feel has like 4 good cards at most than I have with Clad.

>>737004041
Stars win games. Stardust, Radiate, Glow.
Minions are a supplement. trim your deck, but it's not a full archetype without Arsenal.
Forge is a last resort, Bulkwark is the only consistent Forge card. The powers getting buffed does help.
Colorless card creation.

2 questions
Is true grit a trap for Ironclad or it's great in an heavily gimmicked deck

DO you always heal at camps or upgrade

>>737004041
I beat A9 and 10 back to back with colourless Regent. Best common is probably Begone!: Remove Strikes, remove curses, trigger 'when you create' effects, plus 17 damage is okay for 2 early.

>>737003164
>>737002904
Ironclad emo build is the only consistent build in StS2.
Exhaust build is lacking the cards that do things when exhausted, and the fact Howl puts itself back into your deck is an insult, since you can't even exhaust your way down to five block cards and just keep blocking every turn.
Vulnerable synergy can be surprisingly good and then you get experiment as your act 3 boss and might as well kill yourself.
Demon Form and Barricade are both too slow in the faster format so a lot of the middle of the road builds feel like shit.

>>737004280
True grip is a great card because exhausting cards to great, to thin down decks. Doubly great for ironclad because he has some exhaust synergy. Kinda needs to be upgraded.
Upgrade when you can, heal when you need to. Plan ahead. If you are fighting a boss or elite soon, heal up. If you have some easy hallways before your next camp, and you are above 50% hp, you can greed for an upgrade.

>>737004475
yeah so far am good with silent but Ironclad I don't really understand the combos besides the setup strike

>>737004576
> besides the setup strike
One card I never picked or will ever pick, what a piece of shit

>>737004441
Break is the only thing keeping Ironclad in the running right now, and you can't often get it.

>>737004280
True grit is amazing upgraded in almost any ironclad deck as it allows you to pare down your deck, removing terrible cards so you don't redraw them. Healing at campfires is the worse but safer option, upgrades permanently make your deck stronger.

Another win. So far I'm
>Loss loss win loss win
This deck was fucking funny man. Just exhaust and draw infinite cards and play a bunch of 0 cost souped up strikes and block and win and blap and kill and I legitimately survived because I took the giant mushroom event and happened to get the Phantograph. I would've won without the phantograph but NOT the extra HP. Duplicating my deck was clutch, having 2x of every good power carried the act 3 bosses.
Also howl from beyond is not as bad as I thought.

Lunar blast (dmg per skill played) and make it so (dmg every 3 skills played) is a puzzling combo to me. What is the intended deck for using it? Just particle wall with tons of stars or what?

>>737005268
That's rough, buddy.

>>737006008
Make it so is just free extra damage if you're spamming skill. Most of the time you won't even waste a draw on it since it add itself to the hand from your deck

>>737006149
Yeah, but I don't that many spammable skills on Regent. The two O mana, 1-2 stars cards come to my mind, and nothing else. Maybe some lucky colorless card gen, too, but that's very random.

>>737004441
Emo build grinds you down so damn quickly though. Vulnerable sucks because they removed shockwave so your only aoe vuln is... lmao Thunderclap. Vuln is so incredibly deficient as an archetype for aoe that you have to staple a whole nother archetype onto it to actually win the run, at which point I'd rather just chase strength instead and take maybe one extra vuln card instead.

I don't know how people can do run after run after run. For me, I can do like 2 runs then I have to take a break. Then again, I never got past like A7 or A8 in slay the spire 1 either.

I can confidently say that card creation is way stronger on Regent rn compared to stars. There's literally no need for accumulation of stars or even energy at times since Minion cards are all 0-cost now. Blocking is extremely free and seamless, and you don't even need to rely on the star cards for Weak ane Vulnerable.

I've had good card creation runs at launch but at lower ascensions, it feels good to see more people being introduced to this archetype now. Stars is so grossly overrated, and Large Capsule feels pretty good at least on Clad and Regent imo.

Yep, didn't even have the rare scaling stuff like Regalite and Arsenal. You can get plenty of good stuff in the common and rare pools. Guards is very premium but it's not a must-have either, and Crash Landing speeds up hallways mostly or used for a big Block turn on bosses if necessary. It's both energy and stars efficient, and works well with good Colourless cards you often find in shops and events.

bloodletting and adrenaline will still net you at least +1 or more energy 50% of the time on snecko. Battle trance works great with sneck actually. Even if it lands on 2 or 3 cost it can save your hand by drawing better random costs.

For reference, I forced Hellraiser 9/10 times. Even if you don't get it, a thin deck with some premium block cards and pommel strike+(s) is a good base.

mesugaki regent unironically is the best one though, including orchis but she doesn’t work online fsr

>>737015746
Defect is bad because his orbs don't work with Flanking, Knockdown, Vul, Debilitate.
Regent is okay. his big sword can always be available for Flanking/Kockdown turn. That's the main selling point of him in multiplayer.

Silent / Necro > Ironlad / Regent >> Defect

>>737016132
To enable mods online, you can try going into the mod .json file and changing "affects_gameplay" from true to false. It may cause desyncs though if the mod actually does affect gameplay.

I've been playing it with my nephew. I'm beginning to think we should skip elites.

>>737015986
Yes, he has vuln and weak but he has weakest strength deceasing cards compare to Clad, Silent and Necro. His sword is not that good.
Necro and Silent have insane utility, in boosting damage of party or decreasing enemy damage output while Ironclad scales so insanely with Vuln he can easily gain 20+ strength out of ass

stop bullying defect he has energy surge and ignition

>get through act 1
>start getting clobbered act 2
>die
hmm..

Multiplayer is easy as is. I don't like Flanking, Knockdown or Debilitate in multiplayer specifically because you can basically always use them and they make the game too easy, even if big numbers can be fun sometimes.
In the first place, Silent and Necro are the worst in multiplayer because Sly/Soul builds take fucking ages to finish their turns, even if they're objectively the strongest. I feel guilty whenever I make everyone else wait for me to play them, so I mostly stick to Regent and Defect.

>Bombardment plays from exhaust pile at the start of the turn.

Vaaku is useless like 50% of the time, but other half is shit like this.

>>737018020
>>how many cards are too many
Really depends on the deck, but if you're going 30 or above you're probably doing something wrong
>which events to avoid
Most events you can't avoid, really. But events rarely fuck you over.
>best way to play regent because forge is fucking trash
Stars, easily. Spam stars and play lots of star cards. Forge sucks unless you get an extremely specific deck
>tackle elites for relics when
That's a complicated question, there's youtube analysis videos that can help you with what elites you might face in what level and how your deck should look like for facing them.
As a general rule if you're struggling with corridor fights, your deck probably isn't ready for elites.

>>737018020
You can't really avoid events. There's so many strong ones in StS2 though that you should consider taking them if a bunch show up on a route.

>>737018020
No real answer as it depends on the charachter/build. Only add cards that help you in the short run and don't aim for any specific build, stop adding cards when you have what you need.
Since you don't know what events you get, this is also Impossible to answer, just try to get a couple and think of what helps you the most, don't rely on them.
Star generation and expensive star cards, also minion cards to thin your deck.
When you have decent block/damage and maybe a potion to help, i've had a lot of success avoiding elites in Act 3

Low A2 run.

>>737005703
Any run that dies to crab would 100% get shit on by knowledge demon anyways
If you focus down the right claw and have high guard or some 0 costs to turn yourself around its not that bad to get through at all, left claw does almost nothing on its own

>>737015746
IMO they just need to rebalance some specific fights, like quad eels, millipede, and Test Subject's Phase 1. All easily countered if you have the right deck in single player but in multiplayer they're just an utter nightmare.

LET ME POOOOOOOST
>attempting to submit at 6:08 EST

>>737019295
Enemies with a gimmick that scales with multiplayer (plating, artifact, eel's reaction armor, etc) shouldn't get as much HP scaling as normal
I think that'd be fine

>>737019295
Me and my friends usually just reset if we get the quad eels as our early elite fight. Even on low ascension it is just not possible to shit out enough damage to kill them before they kill you.

>>737019342
Oh I think it's images breaking things

>>737019372
You have to focus down Eel #1 or #4 to get some actual breaks in their attack pattern
