About this game:
We fused card games and roguelikes together to make the best single player deckbuilder we could. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and Slay the Spire!
My favorite part about NL is when anytime any enemy does something at 50% HP, he calls it splitting
Always makes me think of BPD splitting.
30:43 yes put more roblox into the deck
OOF
Good one, but raw blocks
Chicken butt
Guess Why
Eggy, we don't mind if you play a lot of focus decks. We want to see you play the decks u have the most fun with ♥
My dude, I love your attitude.
@@jpryan90 I mean, once every 2 weeks counts as occasionally right?
I don't know why but I laughed so hard at the "bummer dude" at 5:36
Egg evaluation of gold plated cables- Great
Egg evaluation of loop- Trash
You can't "beeline a focus build" as the defect. You literally need it to win
Where are complains about buffer play resulting more damage? 40:00
Egg dad please release merch. I want to wear you uwu
A Christmas sweater with his huge head on it would be an instant buy for me
With a campy humor shirt like a picture of a carton of eggnog with his face on it.
@@garrettmarshall706 only if it daid egg nog
uwu zone's unlocked
well that's creepy
40:00 'I know you're like "use buffer" ' No NL I'm not. Not only did it not block much damage but you seemed to not even evaluate the enemy strength gain.
TL;DR: Run Strength 8/10, Tactics 7/10, Strategy 6/10. A decent showing, but NL failed to adapt to really any of the bosses, and the Woke Bloke put him out of his misery.
> Amplify was a horrible upgrade in the face of the Awakened One. You can't play into the bosses's strength like that - the goal isn't to maximize your own strengths but to minimize the risk you're taking. It ended up being 100% dead anyways.
> A Capacitor+ puts NL in a fairly comfortably winning position after Electro + Capacitor + Defrag+ x2; having full frost means that he'd have 42 block per turn compared to a maximum of 48 damage, and evoking tilts that further into NL's favor. Orb slots are really good for further scaling!
> Good to see that NL's starting to play a little less linearly, taking cards that are good just for regular fights. If he could now take cards good against bosses like Darkness generators, I'd be a happy camper.
Act 1:
- Still would like to see a little more map checking. The right would have been good as well.
- I don't really like choosing a rare card on the defect - the only super useful rares for a base deck are Core Surge Buffer and Electrodynamics, and only the latter is truly run-breaking. Honestly, they're all so synergy based that I think the 100 gold might be the best choice, although the Buffer he got crushes Slime Boss.
- Doom and Gloom is quite useful against the Slime Boss, especially with a Buffer to tank at least 1 hit. NL could even cheese it and use Buffer+ to stall 6 turns and then dualcast it to death. Still, though, Leap is definitely good.
- Again, Darkness is really good against the Slime Boss, and also against Lagavulin. Also, NL is so scared of Autoshields for essentially no reason - even if it falls off later, it's already made the early game significantly easier.
- Recycle is a good card, although NL can't exactly abuse it yet.
- If NL had a Dark, he wouldn't have needed to rest. Still, though, NL... didn't need to rest anyways. Huh.
- Biased Cognition does not need Core Surge to make it work. I've said it a thousand times, but NL seems to only play linearly. Sozu... I really wish he'd at least try and get better with the potions.
Act 2:
- NL's learning to just instantly slam Biased Cognition in normal fights. Good on him.
- Sweeping Beam is probably the right call for some more AoE.
- Hologram and Recycle or Dualcast is very good, in addition to being able to fish back powers.
- Some good plays here, honestly. Hopefully he learns to essentially snap take Biased.
- Electro is a snap take. Melter... It's okay, but he's not going for the 4th floor where it can be extremely good.
- NL should have stalled a little more I feel, but still a good Champ fight.
- Amplify is... Well, it's really a win-more card IMO. Cursed Key is also fine, although NL would very much like some draw.
Act 3:
- Awakened One is decently troubling and bricks Amplify in 9/10 plays. Consume could change that, though.
- The Focus build is very reliable and supports a lot of varied win conditions.
- Amplify upgrade is almost worthless, especially against the Woke Bloke. Definitely would have preferred to see that upgrade go to Coolheaded.
- Pain is really bad. Honestly, I think I'd skip the chest here since 2 curses brick Buffer.
- Definitely should have hologramed Leap instead of Zap, and probably should have held off on Buffer. The final gambit almost worked, but I don't think there was much hope.
I also thought the amplify upgrade was curious. I feel like nl over values upgrades that "double effectiveness", even though the only time for the rest of the run that he was able to use amplify's upgrade effectively essentially gave the boss +4 damage...
"Woke Bloke" LMAO
Who takes the time to write this out? And who made you the leading authority on Slay the Spire?
@@Brakle682 Besides the fact that everyone seem to like him, what is wrong with writing your opinion? Whoever claimed he's the "leading authority on slay the spire"? Nobody is stopping you from giving constructive criticism if you find a flaw in this analysis.
@Public Access: Darkness? In this deck? Are you f'n kidding me? Sorry, but you have no clue what you're talking about. He had a cycling orb deck, not a wait and evoke deck. Yes, he had cables. Big deal. With a dark orb, he bricks all his orb generation. He had a Capacitor to boot. I think his overlooking the second one was a mistake. With capacitor, it makes evoking a dark orb even harder. Have you even played this game?
2:22 More like 50% Bad Face, 50% CAW! CAAAW! ^^
This title made me want to watch. Good job.
did the egg just make a we rate dogs reference at 2:31??? im proud of egg daddy for this
Lmao he psyched himself out with the focus title too
Why the fuck did he take recycle
You need to stop sleeping on Loop if you're doing a Focus based deck. Gold Plated cables was giving you block you didn't accounted for a lot. Imagine if you were getting 20 passive block just for having a Frost orb in front.
Hopefully after seeing how good Gold Plated Cables was to NL this run, he'll learn that Loop (ie, the power version of that relic) is a good card.
Didn't even get to the second phase of the boss: "We got close,"
In all seriousness, you signed your death warrant upon playing buffer, and then everything just snowballed from there. You NEED to save buffer for the turn where he transforms, and playing any power that isn't defrag is just killing yourself faster.
eh capactiror has an argument as well, 2 extra orb slots well used is better than the str the boss gets. But yes the buffer play seemed insane to me too. As he said it would block 18 damage I think he forgot it is a power.
defect loss to not the heart
see you boiz in 42 minutes.
Fuck you for spoiling
Fuck me for reading comments
@Brandon Bevill face hurts from all the face palming this Throw the Spire run induced.
NL needs to start taking Go For The Eyes in every build. You always take it because it is the only Defect card that applies weakness. Weakness is extremely powerful.
yeah he started to realize weakness is good for the silent but hasn't realized it is just as good for the other 2 deck types. Weak is basically 25% block PLUS damage on go for the (obviously only if they are attacking, but it is still 0 cost damage card even on no attack turns)
Not a bad run at all, just needed artifact. My egg daddy is playing well
did someone tell NL loop was bad? why doesn't he take it?
“I beg you hit the enemy on the far right” yay finally antifa nl shows his true face
HE ACTUALLY TOOK MELTER!
how many times does that tangled web have to give you a parasite before you realize that its not a "debuff" its parasite...
Pana-cheeya? I don't even know ya!
Egg I love you watch all your slay the spire but its pronounced (Pan-ugh-see-ugh)
Wait, surely the 'g's aren't supposed to be there? Isn't it pan-uh-see-uh? Or is ugh pronounced like uh and my teenage angst years just trained me otherwise lol
*Panachia*
Chat, is Gremlin Horn really "just okay"? I'm certainly not saying I thought it was top-tier, but I thought it was more like "kind of a little good".
Don't know if it's any good, but I would really like to watch a Darkness run sometime
Panache fight and ending the round early triggers me so much..
Just bought StS today and almost got to the final boss then got killed by a fucking bust
I [Guess] They never miss, huh?
I'm starting to think that the game wants you to run a darkness-recursion combo, it keeps offering them.
Hey nl! Just noticed and wanted you to know that recycle dosent carry over energy, sadly :/
i dont play often, but that 50/50 face thing ive hit the same good face that gives 50 gold on ? rooms all 3 times ive seen it
He really has no idea how to play vs the awakened. Playing ALL your powers and hoping that's stronger than the enemy strength gain is an ambitious move, you really need to start building around him the moment you enter act 3.
*l o o p i s a n a m a z i n g p o w e r y o u e g g*
Love your videos
I'm sad for this loss. Unfortunately the awakened one was too much and your draw wasn't good. Overall I enjoyed the run I thought you did a fairly good job
I catch myself actively hoping for NL to lose on a regular basis.
Chicken Butt
dad your voice sounds deeper than usual today i like it
it may just be day 300 without sex
My boy tried
I'm going to review your first floor: You played too safe, you could have gotten the serpant deal for 150 gold because you are using your orbs, so weakness is less relevant here, relic is also worth a try a couple of times as well, debatable. And you should upgrade zap when you have the opportunity, 0 cost is WAY better than 1 cost. Always try to upgrade cards the either: double the effect of the card, makes it renewable, or REDUCING THE COST of the card (most important).
I think you're still having problems with situation analysis, especialy with buffer, it is incredibly powerful card that you didn't really factor in when you're playing in the first floor.
I think his first floor was mostly good
@@Chunkosaurus It's fine, but there are some of his decisions such as not upgrading zap earlier that really costed him later on.
@@Leifenguard I think on this specific run not upgrading zap was fine. Buffer and cool headed and biased and defrag were much better upgrade targets
Honestly, overall NL plays too safe in most cases. He passes on elites that he could take in most instances save for losing a little health. Not saying its always a good choice but if you arent in A20 yet, a first floor elite is often not horribly difficult (cards and relics depending). He bypassed almost every elite this run. Some were definitely good calls but its hard to watch when after skipping 5 elites, you know how the run is going to end.
@@Chunkosaurus Sure, I think biased/defrag is more questionable, I think there are several instances where he could've done more with his turn if zap was free.
It's another loss?
Amplify into Capacitor was your win condition against Awaken One, those extra orbs for cost of 2 strenght would neutralize him without any problem..
good try egg daddy keep it up
You do realise you did not get the keys anyway right?
@@jpryan90 oh didn't realise that
What?
3:02 YOU SKIP TURBO?!?!?!
Disappointed you didn't start off this video by saying "Chicken butt".
Highly. Dissa. Pointed.
what did you lose again?
Dan is better than you. Episode #6
Is no one really going to say that the double biased cognition killed his run and it was totally winnable?
No they're not because he'd already lost by that point.
@@Ghostneedle1 he didn't tho lol what are you talking about. he didn't even capacitor when he did that. If he had 5 orbs with at least 4 frost he would not had lost.
Why does he always take electrodynamics?!?
Because it's a great card in any sort of orb centric build? Having ~20 slash damage every turn is incredible, and pretty easy to set up..
This run isn’t as good of an example as I though, but I’ve seen him take it with only a zap in the deck, is it still good there? I genuinely don’t know
@@BIGhappyG33 at worst, electro operates like a tempest, so even in an unrelated deck it works ok. It also is one of the only powers in the game that sets up itself (wraith form being another one) so you can play it and not necessarily need something else to make it "tick". The biggest issue with it is it's often not worth taking over other boss cards. It's not as all encompassing good as like echo form or seek so the opportunity cost might make it not worth taking, but on it's own outside of a boss fight like it was in this video, it's pretty much an instant grab imo.
The only reason not to take electro is if you already have one or the other choice is seek or echo form
Unless he takes it as a reward literally before the final boss, it's good.
Egg dad. Please. Stop taking leap. It's average at best and bad with your playstyle.
We'd all prefer if you played good decks that you liked playing. Focus decks are good and fun.
