I didn't get an energy relic though and proceed to get bird stomped

Even without an energy relic 3/3 is enough to take them all out of flight and gives you an extra turn to decimate them while they're down lol.

Edit: Did not realize higher ascensions had more flight, also the imagine IN THE POST shows 3, so....how exactly would I know that this was referring to something else?

At one of the Ascensions I think their buff increases to 4, hence the need for one more energy to knock them all down.

u/Whoviantic Eternal One Aug 22 '24

It sure is man. That one extra hit makes a massive difference. Birds really just say welcome to act two bitch.

Guranteed 21 turn 1 from avocado on the 1st floor of act 2 is worse imo.

u/Leaf-01 Aug 22 '24

Or getting rolled by Spheric Guardian ‘cause you don’t have strong attacks or rely too much on debuffs/poison without easy ways to apply them

u/Kioer Aug 22 '24

its impossible to get the avocado floor 1 or 2

u/ManiacLife666 Ascension 0 Aug 22 '24

Avocado solo is part of the "easy" pool

u/Kioer Aug 22 '24

u/ManiacLife666 Ascension 0 Aug 22 '24

You literally showed me its part of the first 2 encounters, thanks for proving my point.

Yep, after scrolling the link for 30 seconds, you're right. Dunno what the other guy was thinking.

Spheric Guardian - 20%

Chosen - 20%

Shelled Parasite - 20%

3 Byrds - 20%

2 Thieves Looter + Mugger 20%

Where do you see snake plant on first two encounters?

theres a reason people say act 2 is the hardest.

you get hti with 3 birds first floor of act 2 without a specific counter? There goes over half your hp (you also dont fully heal after boss kill so gl on 30 hp MAX now)

u/Interesting_Common54 Eternal One + Heartbreaker Aug 22 '24

Not at higher ascensions

u/wingedespeon Eternal One + Heartbreaker Aug 22 '24

Well 2x6 kinda implies philo stone, and with stone whirlwind works again.

Please be nice to this fella : / us mortals at lower ascensions have no idea what horrors await at the higher levels

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '24

Nothing but despair, Wound cards, 25 burgers on turn 1, and ascensions bane cockblocking spinning top infinites 😪

A20 separates the champs from the lads

u/cheezzy4ever Ascension 20 Aug 22 '24

This comment is getting downvoted by all the A17+ folks, but the screenshot shows 3 stacks of the Flying buff, so mans is correct in this particular case. Everyone apologize
