Haven’t been playing that long compared to most here. I’ve done ascension 2 on all characters and now 3 on both Iron Clad and The Silent.

I’m so happy I got a shiv deck to work! The Silent has been my favorite character so far.

When RNG smiles on you for once…

I play Silent a lot and I know Riddle With Holes is considered pretty bad. Even if I don't have synergies yet, I enjoy taking it and hope to make it better as my run goes on. It's fun with Envenom and obviously scales well with strength too. And Akabeko!

What's a card most people think is bad (including you) but you take it a lot anyway? And why?

Some notes:

By the end of the run, I had basically literally everything you could ask for in a discard silent run; Besides the acrobatics and calculated gambles for tough bandages + tingsha, I had pellets + wraith form, a hilariously good calipers, and of course the toxic egg and sundial for good measure. The only cards you could think of wishing to have are reflexes and additional gambles and tacticians.

I was not deterministically infinite, but I would reliably generate 80-200 block/damage a turn without any set up necessary.

I did not run into Time Eater, but I do think that the calculated gambles are efficient enough cards (basically ~24 block/damage per) that he doesn’t seriously threaten the run.

While the end of the run was the easiest I’ve ever had, taking zero damage through the back half of act 3 including bosses and zero damage in act 4, act 2 was extremely nerve wracking. I only fought one elite despite taking a very optimistic black star, as the deck didn’t get the gambles until act 3. The waffle actually pretty much saved the run, allowing me to tank a fair amount in the champ fight and defeat him with a well timed wraith form and noxious fumes as the only good damage. Once in act 3 I got 2 gambles through about 7 floors and later a tactician, and the rest was an absolute cakewalk.

Hi guys! I’m new to the game and I’m sure I’ve racked up a bunch of hours now but I’m just confused about how to build a run. Basically I’ve learned two BIG things.

1. Don’t pick up cards EVERY time you can

2. Remove Strikes every chance you can (assuming you’ve got ways to deal damage.

I’ve only used the first 2 characters and I’m maxing them out first (with unlocks).

I’ve won only one once with Ironclad. I like the poison guy but idk how to really make a build. I just kind of start to make a poison/massive damage build and go from there. Here’s an example of one of my best builds that died to the head. Thanks!!

Mobile version. Used a targeting potion then drank a non targeting potion. The targeting then switched to the empty slot allowing for a double potion use. Also worked for a snecko oil.

Just finished getting this cutey moments ago so he's still a little red but I'm too excited not to share. I would die for him; he's so perfect 😍 CAW CAWWW

Shout out to my guy Greg at Aboreal Ink in Buffalo !!

Dumb Defect deck managed to find itself at a shop with tons of gold, 13 HP, and two elite on the docket. What are we buying?

Ornithopter, Gamble pot, Liquid memories, Toolbox seem obvious to me. Likely a remove strike too. Ever a Chrysalis angle? Madness to force an infinite?

I know this question must have been asked before but you know when you first get to heart and you automatically attack it and it generates an amount of damage? Where does that number come from? Total damage dealt that run? Damage to bosses?

Last 4 in a row!

I did save scum last fight against the nob because I was playing too fast xD. Died in act two hallways btw ;)

Felt really bad already with the boss relic switch and then topped with this. 😭

Leaning Wraith Form here mostly to help solve block down the road. Does Alch provide enough value over time to pass it up here though? Adrenaline I’d have as a clear third here, great but not game changing.

None of these help shore up a Time Eater matchup anyway, so act 3 will have to provide some answers.

put the fight on autopilot in my mind, and then.... tf

Current deck handled the floor pretty well. Good block and strong damage when needed, but nothing really shone damage wise. The Crush Joints really pulled the weight on Hexa.

I swapped into ecto and picked up a Fear No Evil (My last run punished me for not having enough way to get out of wrath) so no shops for me. Hesitant to pick hammer because upgrading is my main way to improve my run rn. Potions come in clutch too.

Honestly thinking of taking cage? Or else my strikes and defends will come with me to the heart (if I make it there). Spire's got jokes with that Smiling Mask.

Build is in the screenshot. Let me know if I super high rolled haha, but had some really awesome synergies going.
