'As the Ironclad, attack is defence.'
NotLikeThis
he's been banging his head against a20 for so long and hasn't tried out exhaust+feel no pain
it's one of the most consistent strategies for winning
@@owenseee Just get infinite defence LUL
but seriously NL, don't underestimate ironclad defence decks!
@@owenseee NL feels like he's losing something when he exhausts. It's part of why he doesn't like powerful exhaust cards, and sometimes even powers (which makes no sense to anyone else).
I just play two run of this game and already realize that block is definitely more important than attack man...
NL keeping his APM high like a true e-sports champion.
Call him "Northern"
"We need more defends in this deck"
That was pretty spot on assessment with no action to back it up, but hey, third floor? I like it!
"And you will think I've lost my mind" That ship has sailed so long ago it sould be done it's circumnavigation and be back in port any day now ^_^
NL: I just gotta pay attention.
Also NL: I wasn't paying attention to Velvet Choker.
NL you're getting better and realizing that you have to proactively make winning plays. Keep it up that win will come soon. Only advice is try to figure out what your deck wants to do early on and go with it. A rampage deck wants to be thin and have a bunch of draw/big defense cards like Flame barrier to bide time until rampage is back around, a demon form deck wants lots of multi attacks and so on. Whirlwind is an agnostically good card as you'd call it and the value of upgrading it is multiplied by however much energy you have. At just 3 energy upgrading it adds bare minimum 9 damage, at 4 its 12 and so on.
NL keep playing until he get a run where he can faceplant keyboard the whole time and win, not that thats any different from what hes currently doing
"Also, why didnt i remove curses from the shop?"
That right there is the difference between winnin and losin my dude.
Add in removing strikes, and passing on all defensive cards not called shrug it off (and lately, disarm), and we're making some actual progress.
"If we don't kill him, he doesn't die" Egg daddy, June 2019
pretty sure that quote sums up the entire series
I could watch NL lose at slay the spire all day
I do, because at least I know I'm not the only one... lmao
@@Clippozant it's not a terribly difficult game my friend. Watch some Rhapsody runs, he's exceptionally good, and explains almost everything he does.
@@iami3rian394 Ya he is, though Rhapsody plays WAY too many Ironclad runs. He needs to spread out his runs better with each character.
@@reaperzone85 he has plenty of all three, but you're probably right.
It is the only reason I still watch. I like watching him get punished for poor play.
why does this fool take anger every time it shows up with no hesitation when it only rarely and incidentally does anything good for him
He's stuck in binary. Cards are either take, or don't take. There's no gray area.
Going for the pro anger/rampage combo.
Slay the spire:NL roll a wisdom check to discern the difference between a strike and a defend
NL: rolls 1
Slay The Spire: oh boi...
NL: Snap picks Uppercut every time
Also NL: Thinks Shockwave is trash
Also, you upgraded Bloodletting and Bash over Whirlwind and Demon Form...
Those two decisions alone are easily the difference between a win and a loss - you REALLY need to think about some of your decisions more
He also thinks tha the silent card that is aoe remove strength (piercing something) is bad.
@@shiresk piercing wail. He HATES exhaust cards, and no one knows why.
Tad miffed he went for the bloodletting upgrade myself over demon form. His deck was already centered around demon form, and he'd committed to strength gain with the early limit break upgrade. Even had an energy relic! When he went on to talk about how important an early demon form would be I thought that surely he'd get that upgraded next but wham hits us with that sweet upgraded bash. It's like, Egg, I have it in good confidence you can play this game well. Latching onto certain advice is a prominent NL trait, and ever since getting told he has no attention span if the ironclad deck doesn't have bash+ it's a wash.
@@839steve I'm not saying you're wrong... well, not about EVERYTHING, but suggesting he's good at this game, I mean. That's a joke too, right?
@@iami3rian394 Global achievements stats on steam put beating A20 at 2.4% of the playerbase, or 3.6% of players who have beaten a 3rd act boss. NL has done it twice off camera. In no world is top 3.6% of anything bad.
Yes, it is incredibly easy to point out mistakes. No, that doesn't make you a better player for it, or even a better person. Constructive feedback is made for the purpose of helping someone/something else. Destructive feedback is made for the purpose of elevating yourself.
Yes NL makes plenty of mistakes, and he is by no means the best sts player out there. That being said, acting like he's bad at the game is disingenuous at best and malicious at worst.
I'd also add that he did a pretty damn good job with his recent silent run. His inconsistency is apparent the further he gets into a recording session. He'd win more frequently if he was only playing off camera. Diverting mental energy to being entertaining is a pretty significant factor.
Anyone else feels like NL doesn't play Ironclad as good as the other characters?
Which is funny, because that use to be his best.
I would say that Defect is his best now... if only he would start picking frost cards when he says he wants them... ...
@@A1phaz0ne yeah Ironclad used to be his best... that is why over 100 episode ago I suggest NL should force on one character
I personally think he is mixing up some of the character play style
I think NL doesn't play any of the characters well, but he makes it somehow
@@elperaman227 lol, he's got a 247 game losing streak. I don't think he's "making it" somehow.
You know what rhymes with Aggression? Regression
Even though NL sucks. I like watching him. Makes me feel better about how I play lol
Play improving.
Entertainment value, 10/10. That's all I'm here for.
I agree, it feels like he's refreshed, and he's doing better, that trip was good for him
im just here casually upgrading bloodletting and bash before demon form when its my entire strategy
I mean, upgrading demon form isnt bad but I actually agree with NL here.
Upgrading demon form gives him 1 extra strength per turn. That's cool, but he doesnt need it. He has limit break to start busting his scaling after he activates demon form, so that +1 energy isnt necessary
Meanwhile, the biggest issue with demon form is its heavy cost, and cards like offering and bloodletting help him build up extra energy to simultaneously play demon form and defend himself on the same turn. Especially when you consider that he had centennial puzzle as well, which helps him draw into demon form off of either of those cards, I think that focusing on the energy is a good play. Even if he doesnt draw into demon form with centennial puzzle, it still synergizes really well with bloodletting
18:28 it takes you a full TWENTY SECONDS to "rationalize" the obvious correct play, simply because it's defensive.
Then, you feel the need to continue to justify it. It was the RIGHT PLAY, my dude. We all knew it instantly from looking at the turn.
Why do you STILL hate blocking attacks so much?
Passing on upgraded metallicize in a four energy deck with not a lot of defense was the WRONG CALL, btw.
EDIT: At least you realize later that you need block. A good ten minutes late, but better late than never.
Yeah, he realized he needed block, was offered a Power Through and he didn't even consider it, just skipped it instantly.
@@TheeOptionalGuy he just has a mental block selecting defensive cards unless it's shrug it off or disarm. It makes no sense. Like, especially after he ACKNOWLEDGES that he needs defense (again, a solid ten minutes after the rest of us groaned at him passing metallicize+), and just passes every option offered.
Then, even when he draws them in big attack turns he has to struggle to play the cards, and even worse he's embarrassed by it or "hates it." Everyone else LOVES full blocking big attacks.
He'll never win playing half the game.
He also passed on the metallicize because he "needs" twin strike after skipping one (and the other cards too) at 17:31 lol
@@duvaxP yeah, it makes no sense.
it's cause in his [and many players'] mind just defending does not move you closer towards the objective of winning the fight. thing is, in most classic roguelikes and STS, the goal is not winning a fight, but surviving the fight while conserving as much resources [health] as possible to survive the oncoming challenges
the "we're knocking on the door" arc has returned
19:38 felt genuinely satisfying to see
Lack of planning...
He NEEDS to be punished for leaving curses in.
Highest Lose streak: 248
Highest Win Streak: 1 (ep. 449)
Current Streak: 248 losses
Total Losses 259+
Ironclad 92+
Silent 84+
Defect 85+
so close to 250 lose streak... and next episode is Silent, we can do it bois
Let's go!
How has he not gotten a run that hand holds him to victory yet?
I got sick of the misplays and stopped watching a long time ago lol and I'm actually wondering.
@@waitwhat851 he has, but he has STILL managed to throw them. His last run with the defect, for example. Uh... 560? He had a SOLID deck, and a reasonable chance... I won't spoil it if you wanna go back and watch that one. Just make sure it's his most recent defect run. Might be 559.
@@iami3rian394 well watching the first run and how that was shaping up and him completely throwing it for no reason I can get that gist of it regardless
@@waitwhat851 well in that case, he spammed powers against the awakened one until it OHKO'd him at +16 str with its x4 attack.
Had he not played powers, or played only one or two he could easily have survived the fight.
Biggest throw I've ever seen, and I've been watching NL since 2011.
"We need defense".
Skips every defense.
NL, you lose track of what you want too fast!
You should start writing post-it notes just to remind yourself of things like that.
This was a good run you squandered solely because you thought you still needed even more energy.
You got a shit ton of energy this run. What you need is not energy. You need to remove your strikes so your good cards come faster and you'll play them more often!!
You think you need more energy because you want to play all the strikes, defends AND have energy for your good cards! And that's when you by chance got enough draw to sustain it!
4 Energy is plenty if you got good cards and your deck is not filled with junk forcing you to shuffle it arround lots to find your cards.
Don't forget leaving curses in the deck to buy a pummel. Great card, completely unnecessary in his deck.
Skipping that metallicize+ cost him the run though. No question.
Flash of Steel over Fruit Juice. We are stuck here until the release of StS2...
He actually checks the boss before entering floor 1. Let's see if he looked, or if we were the only ones who saw it.
Nope. Floor 4, and as usual it was checking for the Hexaghost, though not the silent this time.
Second run, boss check pre-floor 1 again, assuming he saw it.
Nope. Floor 8. I just don't understand why he doesn't even glance at the top of the screen.
OMG NL MADE A MISTAKE, I BETTER MAKE A COMMENT COMPLAINING ABOUT IT ON LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING EPISODE
@@Biosquid239 that would make it 562 mistakes, would it not?
@@iami3rian394 I love how you think that's supposed to make a difference in what you are doing. like you wasting that much time because you called out that many mistakes, not even in a constructive manner, is ok. Stop watching content you don't enjoy, there's no point. It's not helpful to anyone what you are doing it's just sorta sad, because you are putting such a high level of dedication to something so shallow and petty and you haven't realized it for over 600 episodes, that's worse than NL, atleast he realizes mistakes after that long but you are still going.
@@Biosquid239 nl has quite a few episodes explaining that he doesn't mind fans pointing out his mistakes and doing light hearted name calling (like egg). It's a running gag.
@@Biosquid239 yeah, you're just a sad clown mate. On top of that, if he EVER read the comments, he'd realize how three SUPER easy, and not time consuming "tricks" would stop him from looking like a fucking moron everytime he boots up the game.
I'm sorry you're worse than NL at StS, but at least you may have the potential to learn.
I love seeing the decent into maddens in this series... “attack is defense”
Don't blame the game when you are the one playing too fast.
Two "misclicks" from playing as fast as possible, one of which ended a run. Think he'll slow down at all, ever?
Good run NL,but i really gotta break it to you: anger is bad in most decks since it clutters your hand up, also you were very lucky to not have velvet choker screw you up, the feather imo would have been better
As would the cage. Keep in mind he was still traipsing around with two curses in his deck.
"I want more energy"
Gets Seeing Red on next combat.
"I think Twin Strike is a good option"
Seeing red is generally terrible
@@Chunkosaurus but if his downfall is energy, that is energy
Skipping the upped metallicize to grab twin strike was the blunder that cost him the run.
It's an awful card still, it's like saying you need damage and then taking a slice to fix this problem.
Pretty good run NL!
"you need to take limit break" you really don't though, you already have demon form scaling, offering would be waaaay better )^:
Nl Boi if there was a true grit anywhere in this run it would've done you wonders true grit is a really good block that can trim deck fat or cards useless for certain fights, gets rid of curses and ailments and triggers exhaust synergies
*Passes on upgraded metal*
He's doomed.
Play's way too fast allllll da time lol
NL loses a few minutes in? 30 minute episode? *sigh*
Have you ever done A20? Because if you have then you'd know that on act 1 you die...a lot..it's basically rigged. NL died on floor 38 whilst providing free entertaining content. Relax dude.
@@sixeh92 free for us, he gets paid. With our time. Watching the ads he posts on the videos. Time is money my friend.
That means nothing is free here. Just saying.
Sigurður Vigfússon I have played and beaten it countless times. I’m not actually mad; I’m just frustrated that he keeps making similar mistakes or doing dumb stuff that could easily be circumvented by simply taking a bit more time.
@@ScoutXdude it's true..no denying that.. I just don't get frustrated because I love my egg.
Why does he dislike Mark of Pain? I've never found the wounds to be that big a deal, unless I'm running a thin, Clash-heavy deck (which tends to get me killed anyhow).
NL really just lost a run because he was playing his cards too fast...and he still tries to blame it on the game
I know spire is coming to an end soon, hopefully with an A20 victory, but is ryan still going for all three victories or settle for one on camera?
Two in a row against the collector!
Good job man.
Taking rampage when you have anger pls egg
I feel eternal feather is underrated a lot. With 4 energy and bonuses from common relics and cards. I think velvet was unnecessary
Should have removed, FWIW. He didn't have enough cards (nor should he have been adding many) to make the feather a good pick. Now those curses he was lugging around....
At 30 cards its 18hp just for entering a rest site and small decks arent always the best decks. He also had it as an option at the second boss. If this were first boss. I would agree with the choker pick. I'm not saying forever grab eternal feather but sometimes its passed when it is actually the better option. Also the 2 curses he had arent that bad. He has enough card draw to look over them at least a little. If they were pain normality or regret. Get those out asap
@@Lumautis that's wonderful to know it's 18 at 30 cards. How many were in NLs deck?
@@iami3rian394 29 when he grabbed it. He took heavy blade 2 fights later
@@Lumautis and you stand by the idea that it's a better pick than cage, to remove both of his curses?
I'm loving this series, but I'm not sure he'll ever win. Maybe it doesn't matter.
A20 is about playing as perfectly as possible, and then maybe you don't lose. Those were two really promising decks, that maybe wouldn't have have lost - but they'll never win with that level of misplay, and I'm not even talking about the accidental click.
Skipping metallicize+ for a twin strike was abysmally bad, and cost him the run.
4:22 ....
It hurts that it wasn't the only time he did it.
@@iami3rian394 this is why we like Northernlion
@@marcoconti2921 I mean, maybe, but he'd actually be pretty decent at some of the game if he played slower and actually thought out his decisions.
NL I kinda miss the dailys
Yeah, like that childhood cancer I finally kicked.
@@iami3rian394 Well thats mean, does not have to be all the daliys. But it would be nice with some.
@@TheDrunkyDwarf I would not mind bonus uploads, but skipping A20 runs for unlosable dailies he doesn't even focus on scoring highly on... that's a hard pass from me, and most of his other viewers as well, according to comments.
@@iami3rian394 Still playing a daily now and again, would prob not change much of his schedule. I my self don't really care about A20, I just like slay the spire with NL in general. If he mabye found a daily to his liking, it would be fun to see. Hitting the same grind over and over again can be borring, and a bored youtuber is not fun too watch. But what do i know, he never seems really bored of it tho.
@@TheDrunkyDwarf exactly. He also plays off camera on the switch. The cycle of 3 A20's (usually) then a daily just sucks though. Look back at his dailies, they lose views (and I'd bet retention takes a HUGE dive once people realize it's a daily) and there's a surge of dislikes.
Every now and then would be fine, but only getting three watchable runs in between kinda sucks.
31m is not win length, boiz...
So why are you still click dragging the cards out instead of just using the hot keys?
He doesn't know there _ARE_ hotkeys. He doesn't read patch notes, don't forget. Or cards, or the screen, or options, etc...
whats wrong with dragging them? it feels nice to do, theres literally 0 reason that one has to use hotkeys other than preference
@@Biosquid239 to not miss click like he did. Considering his typing speed, I think hot keys would be easier for him
It's so satisfying to drag them
@@shanadir he types super slowly too, mate..
When NL takes the boss relic for the blessing he will win 100%
I wouldn't go that far, but it's an AMAZING blessing, esp with the Ironclad. It would force him to defend as well, which is only beneficial.
bet
Xerxes comment hype
1st
at being wrong
Ditches entrench, immediately gets calipers, yah your slay the spire IQ has definetly gone up bud
Not like it mattered on that run anyway, master of misclicks as always
There's no way to predict it. And entrench isn't always an instant take. What?
Typing this comment was a misplay of nl proportions
@@ikibobble lets face it, the only reason he didn't take it is because he overrates disarm, I mean it's good for a couple enemies, but entrench is pretty good on those same enemies and is pretty versatile with the various synergies you can get, rather than a standard simple debuff
@@marcusmacintosh5707 he does not overrate it? He rarely takes it. Entrench has synergy if you get block relics and barricade. You sound like the type of guy to reset until he gets a barricade run
so people can look into the future with a high enough IQ?
