Ironclad slay the spire free#

With the Reaper example, part of the reason to slam it is it ALSO solves a big problem for Ironclad: Defending and attacking at the same time. But later on, i'm really unlikely to take ball lighting, because it just dosent do enough. Because Ball Lighting is strong enough to help me beat all of the act 1 elites. say the first 5 floors of act 1, i will slam Ball Lighting almost without question.

Simply because the chance of pairing them with Biased Cognition or Fasting is that strong.Įxample: If i'm on defect, and it's. Even though Reaper relies on strength to be any good (And, frankly, you also need a mass of max hp as well), the chance of that synergy is so strong to be worth gambling on.Īnother example would be buying Orange Pellets or Clockwork Souvenir when you're playing Defect or Watcher. The flipside to this is that synergies help you beat challenges - I will, as Ironclad, take Reaper basically without question. But later on, i'm really unlikely to take ball lighting, because it just dosent do enoguh. Instead the best approach is to pick a card because it helps you beat an upcoming challenge.Įxample: If i'm on defect, and it's. This is generally referred to as chasing an archtype, and it will get you thrashed by the game - it's doable at low ASC, but at high asc you will die. So, as a general rule of thumb, picking cards because of synergy is not the best plan.Īt a basic level, you should never pick cards because 'IF i get XYZ, i win!'. Usually the entire first act goes by before I get offered 2 cards that support a theme. Once, I had a pure blizzard deck that was just perfect for my ocd, like I had hand crafted the entire thing. I wish I could try some of the synergies that I see in the cards, but I only seem to get complimentary cards after I've compromised my deck. I was trying to play the classes evenly and march them up the ascension together, but there is something about the ironclad that keeps drawing me back and I'm outpacing the others by a lot.

Been maybe a month and it really sucks up my free time.

Picked this up recently when it went on sale.
