First time trying curing meats at room temp, so super nervous. What do you all do when you have a deck that's probably going to clear act 3 but really probably not going to beat the heart? Quit? I'm often going through act 3 hoping I die and it's not that fun.

Well I'm not good enough to clear consistently yet so any clear of act 3 in any form is a win.

Ah, in that case I guess it depends. If there was at least possibility to beat heart with a lucky draw order, even if unlikely, I'd probably go for it, since at least I could hopefully learn something from the loss, unless I was really pressed for time for some reason. In the latter case I'd just abandon the run and start over.

You get enough shots at new cards during Act 3 to shore up the difference. Sometimes you lock into an entropic brew on the fight before Shield/Spear and then luck sack into a 2 power potions or ghost in the jar and that puts you over the top. You never know. That or take ridiculously aggressive pathing and then die to elites/act 3 bosses.

What's the funniest way you died? I had slime boss as the act 1 boss. I went to a question mark right before the slime boss, but then got called away. When I came back, I saw a big slime on the screen, assumed I was on slime boss, and unloaded my attacks. It hit me for 18 and I died, lol. Then there was that time I shared a few months ago. My kids and I were down to 1 health, with two hallway fights, an elite, and a question mark before the next fire. We planned and schemed and somehow manage to make it to the question mark. It was the spinny goblin wheel. We all looked at each other and burst into laughter because we just KNEW what it was gonna land on. That was a fun death: shanked by a goblin carny

Played Blasphemy because it would get back my Flurries and then I could do Eruption to bring them down to single digits and finish with my Flurries again. Eruption draws 2 cards due to Rushdown, hitting the end of the draw pile and shuffling the Flurries back in. Neither card drawn is an attack.

Just got my A17 Ascension on Watcher with a Neow Blasphemy deck. It was a little too slow to go for the heart I think, but it felt good to womp the Time Eater with 2 81 Through Violence + a 160+ Windmill Strike on turn 11 I had 4 Apparition and an Omniscience, plus Spirit Shield and Nilry's Codex, so I was basically just trying to generate three attacks per turn to proc Shuriken while also using whatever Defensive move stalled most effectively while I saved up to pump up the combo damage

i think i watched jorbs like a year or something ago when he seemed pretty receptive to questions and suggestions and while i think theres a post of me saying he was a little grating at times i really liked the way he described his thinking and process. hes clearly a pretty intelligent guy. but yeah he can be an rear end in a top hat sometimes too i dunnoVarious Meat Products posted:One time I had a Pyramid and died to the act 2 slaver taskmaster encounter because my hand was 9 wounds and a Masterful Stab that cost like 12 i somehow ended up with snecko eye and runic pyramid one time and i forget if i clicked it by accident (i must have done a boss relic swap? this was ages ago) or was an idiot but like the very next fight i drew a hand of all three cost defends and strikes or something and was playing one of those per turn as three birds took their sweet loving time tearing me apart Verviticus fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Feb 13, 2021 |

After watching Terrence review his runs with jorbs and BL he really talked up Beam Cell, a card I rarely picked. Just grabbed and upgraded two on a heart run (that was pretty orb heavy, even) and beat the heart on A8.

Yeah, I've been watching Terrence a bunch and I love how often he grabs those 0 cost cards and all for one. It's really fun to watch someone play the game completely differently and do fairly well. He takes a really long time to play though.

Do you ever find yourself wishing you could be offered some HOT GARBAGE to beef up your painstakingly-crafted deck? Do you ever wish you could lose valuable seconds each and every turn? This advertisement brought tot you by Nilry's codex

Having a rough time beating the heart with silent. I feel like it is pretty easy to get an attack heavy (well, shiv heavy) build to act 4, but it just falls apart on the heart. I managed to get a wraith form in my last run but was dead before I drew it. I think taking every blade dance offered might have been a mistake. I also tried to give poison builds a shot, but I lose way before act 4. I only started playing recently so don't have much experience when poison was the main playstyle on silent (at least that is the impression I get). I'm probably over indexing my last few runs since I more clearly remember them, but with poison it feels like catalyst or bust, but with attack heavy builds there are several relics that enable the playstyle.

without any further evidence i'm going to assume that whatever you think of as a poison build has way too many poison cards. while catalyst is the suplex slam dunk pick you can honestly get there with just some deadly poisons and really good defensive tools and scaling.

Malaise and piercing wail are also very strong pickups versus the heart as they can neuter the multi-attacks and weaken the single attacks. Well-laid plans help you have them when you need them.

Heart losses aren't always due to the deck. Tight play, and resources (life, potions) that you have left when you get there are important. The heart is hard, it kills the best players, and will kill you, too.

Well-laid plans help you have them when you need them. Just don't fall into the trap of using Piercing Wail on a buff turn. The Heart doesn't cleanse all debuffs, just -Strength. So when you Wail it to -x it will cleanse itself back to 0, then it will apply the strength gain it would normally get, and then the second Wail debuff will fall off and it will gain 6 or 8 more.

Against Awakened One at least, it makes sense to play a Piercing Wail on the turn you kill it for the first time IF you can get it to 0 strength or below. Due to the way debuffs work in this game it will then enter the second phase with 0 strength. I believe the same works against Champ and Time Eater, but I've not tried it against them yet. e: Maybe it also works if you can only get it to positive strength? It should then enter the second phase at whatever strength you debuff it to but again, I haven't tried that yet. KonvexKonkav fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Feb 15, 2021 |

It works on Champ and Time Eater as well. You can debuff them down to 0 and it will stay at 0. Or if they were at, say, 8, you can debuff them down to 2, and it will stay at 2. But if they were at 4 strength and you put them down to -2, on the next turn they'll go back up to 0.
