maybe /v/ just sucks at the game???

Every time this board says “X is unpickable” it just means you can’t autopilot it. Ironclad isn’t weak, you guys just refuse to draft block unless it says “draw 3”.

Elite hunting is only “bad” if your deck is dogshit and you path like a coward. You’ve got Offering+, Shrug It Off x2, Flame Barrier+, and a pile of strength scaling. Of course it works.

Crazy how playing the video game instead of repeating tier list memes results in wins. Hmmm indeed.

>>737090243
Dude, they say relics are bad and the fucking Drill was run-defining, not to mention paper phrog and ice cream and even vambrace. Drill gave me an almost completely free Hydras, and was still being useful against Infested Prism in act 3. I love the Drill now.

I know you dumbass can't read Chinese, so I'm translating it into your grandpa's white-ass language to f*cking roast your ass.

Alright, alright, let’s watch these bigshots with their pale-ass “noble bloodlines” wriggling around in Advanced 0 like gutter bugs, trying so hard to flex their “mad game sense” while simultaneously purging dissent, spouting racist crap, and kissing the devs’ ass all over the forums!

Look at them—literally less verbally intimidating than a three-year-old and can’t offer a shred of useful game advice (all they do is hoard a bunch of useless cards and scuttle around Advanced 0 like cockroaches breeding out of control, only to get booted straight back to the tower by Anthony-sama’s little clever tricks). Because they contribute zero to this game’s playability or longevity, all they can do is rage impotently and blame Chinese players for “being too picky,” huh?

Don’t make me laugh, you bunch of m*ther-f***ing inbred pale pigs!

On Chinese gaming forums, your so-called status is even lower than cheaters. (Oh wait, I forgot—you guys love downloading “mods” from Nexus that are basically cheats, right? No wonder you’re inferior even to domestic players who cheat just for vanity. You’re greedy, self-righteous, vain as hell, can’t handle any criticism, and blind to anything beyond your tiny brain—no wonder everyone looks down on you!)

Stop acting like clowns on crack, and go back to your grandpa-white-skinned milk bottle, suck it down, and stay out of the way.

Highest we can have, since the maximum is based on the lowest in the lobby. For example if somebody with A4 joins and everybody else is A10, we all get brought down to A4. We've all been pretty cool so far with helping other anons get their ascensions up in multiplayer.

Most relics that bestow something on something else, like mango, potion belt, and whetstone don't really need to still exist after they granted their bonus to their target. The main ones you want to hold onto are things that trigger based on gameplay events. I'm very certain you would keep the enchants, since these types of relics trigger "on pick-up."

>1 mana for 16-24 block when you have FnP+ already in play and now a hand full of random full-cost cards for your deck cycle instead of actually trimming down the bullshit you don't want
Part of your "exhaust wincon" is getting trash out of the way so you can draw those ashen strikes more often and stoke does not do that anymore. It was way stronger before.

>>737106850

No it doesn't because it replaces your hand of exhausted cards with a hand of random cards.
>gives you ashen strike
occasionally, along with a hand full of other random bullshit. That will clog up your discard/draw pile.

Corruption should have innate for being a bloody ancient relic, it used to be a rare for god's sake and wasn't as strong as Echo Form(that's still rare) and Wraith Form

>>737107149
I haven't F2d yet but I still think Ironclad needs touches, even if I don't feel he's horrible.
if they want Vuln to be an archetype, we need more appliers like Break. Corruption being 1/50 runs feels terribly sad. I don't think Not Yet moved the needle.

Instead of some rooms chipping you away like in sts1 (avocado & rat, snake plant) every room is designed to do it now on high ascensions, and pretty much everyone can see it. Its made high ascensions even more draw good than they already were in sts1. Especially the bosses at the end of each act

Since Stoke itself doesn't exhaust, it doesn't even matter that much if you exhaust a decent card with it - just Stoke again the next time you draw it.

Sculpting Strike on Necro

Making anything you want Ethereal gives you an insane amount of control over following turns, let alone the obvious synergies.

>some cards aren't junk
Great glad to hear it. Still not nearly as good as when the end result of me using stoke was getting all of these cards gone and away, and having my hand filled with cards that I know are in my draw pile. If you could at least play the first card you made for free, or the cards were free the turn they were made like out of a potion, then it would be some actual value. But as it stands it's not that at all.

>>737108010
>>737108079
the playerbase of this game is so fucking retarded. the game is easier overall now but because doormaker forces you to think 2% more instead of play exactly the way you played all 20 other combats up to this point, and shitters can't comprehend how to play around exhaust and think exhausting a card is an instant loss, they start having a hissy fit and review bombing.

>>737108489
I don't understand what's hard to grasp, you exhaust the bad cards and keep the good ones.
>free cards
Stoke is already an extremely high value card. Never give balancing advice again.

>>737108654
I don't think those posters are A10. Doormaker is not harder than Test Rapist in the current game.

>>737108404
sculping strike is a super fucking slow way to exhaust your deck down and you don't get any synergies for making a card ethereal and just exhausting it

I wrote a F2 feedback about Silent feet. I hope they won't stop reading my feedbacks after that

>>737108706
>you exhaust the bad cards
Yes, and replace them with more bad cards and some that might be decent and will still be full cost. You seem to think that every time you use stoke you'll just get bloodlettings and ashen strikes, but you'll probably get twin strikes, armas, blood walls, thunderclaps, sword boomerangs, iron waves, howls, stomps, all manner of things that you are not happy to have added to your deck for the combat.
>stoke is an extremely high value card
How valuable stoke is will depend heavily every single time you use stoke. I'm happy yo used it once and had it work out but it's a card of very inconsistent value. I don't want rares that are specifically designed to synergize with my build to be of inconsistent value. Getting a rare card reward that is made for your current build should be better than inconsistent.

I've beaten A10 with every character pre-patch without using infinites once and I think the new Doormaker is not that well designed. 2/3 of its phases will generally counter a majority of builds and it's far too dependent on getting decent draws so that whatever phase the boss is currently in doesn't prevent you playing your hand effectively.

That you will re exhaust with stoke or any of the stoke cards like cinder,true grit,second wind,fiend fire,brand. Even if you get bad rolls you will have enough block to cycle again and re-stoke. It's obvious you have very limited experience with the card.

The card itself is the build. All you need is FnP and some draw.

I have enough experience with reworked stoke to know that you're talking out of your ass and clapping your hands for the gutting of what was a really fun card into something that dumps a trashcan into your deck.
>well you can just get them again next cycle
The fucking point of an exhaust build is that your deck's second cycle is supposed to be a a whole lot better, not filled with a new flavor of dogshit, but you're clearly beyond reaching with any sort of reason so I'll leave you to pretend to understand anything about this game or the character.

Doormaker was just a wall before with no real defining features but i would say now he's just a "fuck you" to anyone running a small efficient deck or relying on energy generation and card draw to combo shit together (which a lot of people might argue is why they're playing a deck building cardgame).
Now this would be fine but you dont know doorman is coming until act 3 at which point you suddenly need to bulk out your deck a little and conjure up a card that hits like a truck with minimal setup or have something that autoplays like powers Defect or Hellraiser Ironchad. So yeah on one hand you can absolutely play around him but he's definitely one of the more adapt or die bosses that really demands you follow his rules.

>>737092798
Ironclad and Silent are the only ones where I have MORE losses than wins.

Necrobinder is a little pigeonholed but good. Osty eats up all your damage and either you buff him up and smack the shit out of everything or you let him die repeatedly doing revenge damage while you set up doom. Idk if there's anything they could do to make her more varied. She's entertaining in multiplayer when you're trying to make doom and poison reach each other.

>>737112025
He still doesn't feel much like he has anything to do with his themeing. Feels like he should have three portals and two of them are hands that attack you and the third one changes between parts of his face for different effects. And maybe closing the face portal would cancel the next cycle so you could avoid things like the card-eating.

The thing I find fun about Regent is that it doesn't really punish taking a ton of cards. The worst thing that will happen is it takes a while to get back to big sword but you can have the minions fetch it for you so it's never a problem.

>is more anti-fun
Doormaker's current iteration at its core is very evidently designed to shut down infinites (shuts down thin-deck cycling, shuts down draw cycling, shuts down energy cheating) than any thing else. Like the Lizard is a callback to the StS1 Elites and The Queen is a roided Collector but Doormaker entirely feels like he was designed to tell infinite decks to get fucked than for any other reason, which just collaterally hits every deck

>>737112276
I like dual wield on Regent, but it's almost always Clash for me. So I take damage to the face and Dream Catcher instead :^)

Legit advice.

Is the trick to winning more runs to just pick a billion block cards starting act 2?

Anon, the trick to winning is the exact opposite of that. Skip is actually overpowered.

No because you also need to deal damage, unless you deal damage by blocking.

funny that you think act 4 will be released soon. It will take them at least 2-3 years at the rate they are updating.

They are going to buff act 3 and Ironclad is going to drop to 10% winrate again

Faggots complaining about Necro being weak on high ascensions are just braindead retards who follow online tier lists telling you to just grab every single block card and ignore damage. Necro is dealing retarded damage right now with all the changes to her card pool using simply uncommon and common cards. Clad is definitely still the weakest despite having a gay healing card, but no particular character feels markedly weaker than the rest atm.

>>737123210
The only reason ironclad has a lower winrate is because he's the first character and people try to play him like sts1 (aka being retarded). If they just gave him a redesign his win rate would be better than most.
