It's made easier when you realize that all multi-enemy elites in any act are run killers so you plan for heavy AoE from moment 1 or you avoid those fights.

Elites should not be allowed to drop common cards. Floor it at uncommons, and leave the rare chance as is.

>>737138213
I can confirm that end of turn powers are played before status cards, so I would expect ethereal too.

>>737138419
I'd like to see data from those top 5 players, JapanExpo still believes Snakebite is bad
>>737138308
it was never left to right playing. Also I've updated logic so tomorrow going to run more tests

>>737138628
>cumbrain demands an easier game
many such cases

>>737138148
play necrobinder and pick deathbringer/end of days. upgrade to hit more thresholds.

the real game starts now, yeah?

>>737138873
9 is a filter but only 10 is real

>>737138790
>easier game
fun game*, commons are not fun

>>737138761
japaneseexport has the correct take on snakebite. its a one card act 1 boss solve. when these "pros" say a card is bad they mean they'd rather not have it in their deck at the end and they'd prefer other solutions to act 1.

>>737138948
play a custom game then, you prefer different visuals, why not different mechanics?

>>737137719
How? I can beat him without taking damage usually, and even if I do take damage it's not more than like 3 or 4.

>>737138873
if by "real game" you mean 66% of enemies attacking for more than is physically possible for you to block every turn

>>737139057
do you think that people who win more than you are just lucky?

>>737138873

Yeah, basically you WILL get chipped so deal with that.

>>737139057
well yeah you have health for a reason managing it is part of the game

>>737139108
I think people are losing a lot

>>737139108
He's not wrong though? You DO have to lose health on A9.

>>737139183
Not relevant to my question. Will you answer it?

Act 2? Elite skip for me.

>>737136703
the ironclad seems... healthier
this silent seems... smellier

>>737139213
how good they are in relation to me has no bearing on whether it's bullshit that you can walk into a fight and the enemy is swinging for 27 and you didn't draw your block

>>737139331
Not relevant to my question. Will you answer it? Second question: Which fight are you referring to?

>>737139331
So how do those players consistently win more than you?

>>737138951
I'd like Japanexpo to post his own excel spreadsheet and prove that his ranking actually corresponds to what wins him games

i'm on a 4 a10 win streak right now btw

>>737139498
nice

The players with higher IQ and win rate than me just get luckier every game.

the thing about elites is you only have to solve 3 elites per act instead of like 15 potential hard pools
you can have the act 2 elites solved but not have the 4 man bug gang solved or the status fights solved in a way where you don't lose a ton

>>737139690
Dying Star is some star payoff which your deck definitely needs
Just don't play your falling star when you don't need to and keep an eye out for some extra stargen and it should work out imo

>>737139750
The ones I made up

>>737139954

>>737139690

>>737139954

Kingly Punch reminds me how much I hate Rampage
>here's cool card Ironclad had in sts
>remake it into Defect, Regent or Necro card, also remove it from Ironclad pool
>here's a rampage, absolute piece of shit card
>remake it into Regent card, actually make it synergize with his deck, also keep rampage in Ironclad pool for no fucking reason

>>737139690
I've never gotten it to work but shouldn't Heirloom Hammer be decent here? Just copy a minion strike/dive bomb if you don't get any other awesome colorless cards. That's decent damage and more card draw,w which I feel like massively benefits your deck since you have no Glow.
That being said I think I'd always take Genesis and pivot to stars.

As long as you're not trying to force Forge I don't see how he's that difficult at the moment.

Card Creation is easy to work now and Stars are still strong. If you luck into an early Block uncommon and stuff like Collission Course you're basically gravy.

Barely any damage so you lose the damage race against the fish.
>Run 2
Smokestack isn't worth it with just one turbo. That's a curse. Otherwise your only real damage is having barrage with slots and it's slow, as you didn't even upgrade the barrage (your only real source of damage)
>Run 3
Super slow. Flak cannon is a curse, why did you get that? Was it a trasnform? You barely have any damage except the dark orb from shadow shield.

Pick damage man. The starting deck with one Ball Lightning and one Barrage+ do more damage more quickly than most of what you've been building.

Okay. I'm going to admit something. I'm going to bare my very soul to you. I have been one of the foremost snakebite HATERS in this thread since day 0. I have argued VEHEMENTLY against this card. But after this run... I don't - I can't stop myself. My legs, my knees, they're moving on their own...

Snakechads, I was cruel to you. I was capricious and combative. I didn't listen, I refused to listen. I hope - I pray, that you will find it among the wealth of compassion in your hearts, snakebros, and within the wisdom in your minds, snakefriends, to accept me among you, born anew and baptised in venom, to walk among you as a snakeChad.

My legs are straining. My knees are bending. I cannot stop it. I kneel, snakeGODS.

so this is watcher right

>>737149526
Divinity was fine and perfectly playable.
Scrying was strong.
Stance dancing was strong.
If you want to count "retain" as an archetype, yeah, most of the cards were kind of bad but it's not the type of mechanic you built synergies around.
The weirdest part of the character were the rares.and their gimmicky meme archetypes like Alpha, Conjured blade and whatnot (pretty fun if you ask me), but just like Pressure points they're not archetypes on their own. More like single concentrated scaling on a single card that you have to solve if you want to play.
Exactly like necrobinder's hang.

>>737149709
Blade and Pressure were memes but Alpha was 100% way too strong.

>>737149747
Alpha was ass
>Play alpha
>Then have to draw into beta and play it (it costs 2)
>Then have to draw into omega and play it (costs 3)
>THEN you get to do 50 AoE damage a turn
If you had 4 omnisciences then it was pretty funny.

>>737149505
>Howl from Beyond
never pick this card

>>737147701
green and purple are evil

>>737149505
howl from beyond is pretty ass

>>737149830
>>737149747
Alpha was decent not because of the card but because Watcher had broken amounts of ways to enable it fast.

Pressure Points and Conjure Blade needed too much setup compared to Alpha Omega.

I welcome it solely to see doorfaggot half as often. Would rather fight time eater with beat of death than this war crime of a boss fight.

>>737149613
why are you so obsessed with that weird fetish mod anon

>>737149505
Howl is amazing in full exhaust, you'll be getting multiple free usages per battle.

>>737149663
I beat the game because I killed 5 elites in act 1, it sort of snowballed from there.

how are you actually supposed to play void form? I understand how powerful it is, but unless you have consistent energy generation or something, do you just not take it? I always take it when I see it because of how powerful it is once it's in play, but then to use it I have to just eat shit on the turn I play it, except for like one run where I had the lumiscent pearl.

its me the useless doom binder, my game crashed

>>737150779
a lot of cards do things for stars instead of energy like cloak of stars and alignment
you also have orbit

>>737150779
Regent has a fuckton of efficient zero cost star cardstbat lets you get away with void form easily

>>737150779
Use 0 energy block cards
Use relics that add block
Use potions that give block
Use cards that generate energy and then play void form at the end
Play it on the off turn where the enemy isn't attacking
Alternatively, don't play it on the hallway fight unless you really need it
Or take the hit on the boss/elite if you need to play it to win if it comes on a bad turn and heal later

And trannies still think the Boot is a trash tier relic lmao

Hermit's actually got a pretty good shot right? Considering he made it into the boardgame

>>737150353
>>737150387
Big deck

>>737150995
What does he do?

>>737151036
Gunslinger but also curse gimmick

>>737151036
he has a gimmick that cares about cards being in the center of your hand at the end of turns to be played for a free effect. and curse/strike synergy builds.

>>737151036
Has a ton of card that's dependent in their position in your hand to simulate aiming a gun.
But he also has a ton of curse synergy like new Defect with status cards but even better.
