Roëmænce is ælive!
I did today's daily on mobile and it was Defect with Cursed Run and Hoarders, and my first combat rewarded me with Claw so



My big regret is not skipping the act 1 boss relic. (Other options were inserter and dome)

My second biggest regret is taking that Omamori.

Ironclad died to the Awakened One tonight and the Silent clowned everything and even went into the Heart with 80 health and a Fairy in the Bottle and still lost. Unlocked A7 though.

That's it for now.

Nice. I love getting rid of starter cards on Defect. Strength/Wrath/Divinity can make Strikes better. Footwork can make Defends better. And... Defect doesn't have any of that stuff.

That's true. There are a lot more times when it's a curse in your deck than the other stuff I mentioned, but a good reprogram deck can make Strikes and Defends very good.

the reason i like that box so much is that it literally replaced three strikes with three extremely good attack attacks and four defends with three good blocks and a multi-cast which essentially replaced dual cast two rooms later

lol yeah and I got a bunch of really great poo poo that is also insanely expensive and doesn't block damage at all (except the Reinforced) so Byrds and Thieves just beat the crap out of me and Snake Plant finished me off. Rip.

Well, I had two Ball Lightnings, a Cold Snap, a Seek+, a Doom and Gloom+, a Compile Driver and an Electrodynamics, so there was stuff there.

Just nothing that prevented me from losing HP. And also, 3 energy.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
God drat I love a good Courier/Membership Card run.



Bought the 13 relics from Frozen Eye to Singing Bowl at a single shop, along with Footwork and Accuracy, after taking the 999 gold from mind bloom. Then I misplayed nearly every decision in act 4. I never looked at my deck with Frozen Eye, I forgot to remove the second Normality (didn't matter 'cause of my bottled Tools of the Trade), hosed up the buffer vs. the heart due to bad draws, did a bunch of other suboptimal card plays, missed at least 10 health from not using potions efficiently with Toy Ornithopter, etc. And then I still won pretty handily - I didn't even have to play the Wraith Form vs. act 4 elites or heart (although I did go down to 5hp 'cause I face-tanked the first big hit from the Heart).

Holy poo poo those relics. If I had gotten those beginning relics I'd probably have had a bad feeling about the rest of the act but drat you sailed.

I'm with everyone else where I don't bother with frozen eye. It's too much time for the advantage and really changes the game.

Does anyone else feel like whetstone and war paint always upgrade your worst cards? It makes sense statistically with the number of strikes/defends in the average deck but I feel like even when I do sealed deck runs they usually pick cards I never bother to upgrade. Though I guess in that case I also usually have already upgraded the good ones. Hrrrmmmm.

Feels totally random to me. They have definitely upgraded my absolute best-to-upgrade cards too. But yeah it's a bummer when it's just the base attack/defend.

The one I haven't figured out is the random mask you can get, though amusingly the last time I got a negative effect, I had a relic that totally negated it. Is there potentially a later event that could undo a bad mask?

N'Loth has a chance to take your mask but that's about it.

If you get the one that weakens on turn 1, and you get Clockwork Souvenir, it will block the weak. But then your artifact is gone. :(

It's these combined with confirmation bias. You're always going to upgrade the stuff that most wants an upgrade, leaving you with things that don't need an upgrade as much, and even if you only have three Strikes that's still three times as many cards as any individual other option (of which you've already upgraded the top one(s)!).

Plus I think you get those two artifacts pretty commonly in act 1 when the amount of basics in your deck is going to overwhelm anything else.

Completely bonkers run. All of my lightning orbs were generated through powers and I killed the Heart with a 261 strength Thunderstrike+. Definitely the easiest run I've had so far.

While you will not face the same elite twice in a row, you can face the same elite twice if you fight 3+ elites. Like, you could fight Sentries, then Nob, then Sentries again. So this will happen regularly.

Also the Dead Adventurer event does not take into account what elite you may have just fought.

No. You can fight Nob and encounter it immediately in the DA event before fighting any other elite. It's completely possible to fight 3 elites and the dead adventurer and only encounter 2 elites in all 4 battles.

Looking into it a bit there are 5 masks you can get, 1 does nothing functional (CAWCAW), two are bad and two are good. I've been opting out of that event because before now I felt it was more negative than positive but maybe the proper play is to take a mask? I'm thinking +1 HP per fight or +50 gold per ? are probably stronger positives than 1 starting weak or -1 chest relic (assuming you can still take the key?) are negatives.

Like, there are lots of relics that make your turn 1 stronger and the times you get +50 gold per ? probably provides more relics overall than the number of relics lost.

You can't take the key - the chest is empty. I don't know if it still gives you a curse if you have the cursed key boss relic though.

It does. As might be expected from a key, you get cursed for opening the chest, not for taking the relic.

Getting the face of cleric in act 1 is awesome, but I hate being weakened on turn 1 so much that I usually pass on swapping. It's not just a big liability - it's really frustrating and makes the runs a lot less fun for me.
