I took the "3 random potions" option for the first time yesterday and proceeded to be offered a potion for all of the first three fights, each of which was better than my initial potion options. Never again.
Watching Baalorlord has made me a considerably better Spire slayer. He's made me aware of what can work. The other day I cleared Defect A8 and got the Neon achievement with a Meteor Strike, double Sunder, triple Hologram, Snecko Eye deck that beat the Heart.
I started playing this game around a week ago and got reaaally hooked. And despite that, I enjoy watching your videos more than I enjoy playing the game myself lol, the speed at which you're playing and counting everything is astounding to me. Anyway, keep it up !!!
@@lemoi6462 I noticed that I had a free 3 weeks Google Play Pass period that I didn't redeem. So from there, I started looking for the best mobile games. People on Reddit mentioned Spire, Stardew Valley and Terraria the most
I was today years old when I learned that Gremlin Horn will proc when you kill the Awakened One's first phase. I've been watching your videos for years and playing the game even longer, and never realized that until this video.
Timestamps for when Baalor picks up the cards and relic in the thumbnail (Talk to the Hand x2 and Busted Crown): Busted Crown: (2:57) (Neow) Talk to the Hand #1: (1:12:47) (Act 4 Shop) (The second copy of Talk to the Hand is not added to the base deck.) Ne-ouch! That boss swap could've been disastrous, but good RNG and better plays led Baalor to a Busted deck!
On one hand, it always upsets me when the cards in the thumbnail show up at the literal end of the run On the other hand, this run was absolutely bonkers anyways, and I enjoyed every moment.
I find the shortest way to describe each character in spire is with a “how?” statement. Watcher is “how is this lethal?” Should anyone be curious my others are “how am I alive?” for clad “how do I kill things?” for silent and “how is this working?” for defect
given the short talk on balance I got like 2000+ hours in this game and am glad there are still things to discover and play around with when I feel like, so I don't think this game should be "balanced" for specific group of players, silly broken things don't ruin the game at all with all the thinking and creativeness this game requires to play well at any level and when they happen... mh. satisfaction.\ / I'll say however this video for example shows me strategies on how to approach runs with starting options I don't really like and an approach on how to use busted crown (make numbers big and statcheck the enemies). I would maybe never try and experience these kind of runs if it wasn't for the highlight these videos provide and I'm glad for it; much love!
If there was a watcher power that just said "at the start of your turn, enter wrath, at the end of your turn, enter calm" how much energy would it have to cost to be balanced?
That's 2 free energy per turn + safety on wrath. 5 Energy probably. But it still wouldn't be balanced - either your deck can play it and you just outright win, or you can't use it.
As a power? Pff... A skill would be bad enough, but a power... Maybe if it comes with -2 energy, -2 draw, -1 dex per round it wouldn't be too awful? Thing is; the question always has to be "why wouldn't you instantly pick/play this card? The only thing that keeps you out of rage is that it's a bit risky. You take that away, there has to be some other cost to balance basically all your attacks doing double damage, right? And that one 0 energy defense card also becomes way op.
I hate the fact that this streak didnt make it to world record because all the material we get in youtube from Baalor happened like 2 or 3 months ago, and I would have found out through reddit already. Am i right?
He did mention it a bit later, but its largely because he felt that he was getting wrath enough as it was. When he needed eruption, it was in hand and there was very few bad turns where it wasnt there. So it largely woulda just been an extra card that would just take up his draw
Pyramid + busted crown already makes tantrum a tiny bit weird. Tantrum goes back to the draw pile once played and since crown reduce his chances at getting rushdown or calm entry it kinda is a draw negative card. Then considering he's got bottled eruption and meditate to retrieve it , tantrum also feels redundant a bit.
Clicked quicker than Baalord to skip when he sees Wild Strike
It doesn't even do that much damage, it should get renamed to Mild Strike
@@jackeea_ Upgraded Wild Strike lowkey melts enemies in Act 1 but I understand the disdain for it
Upgraded is really good if you have a way to deny the wound
Or quick slash
@zdslmn pommel strike then
I always thought +1 potion slot would help tiny house in a tiny-house-like way. More space for potions in your tiny house!
"Pen nib to eight? No! Akkabeko. Pen nib to nine."

True on higher ascensions you lose the one so i mostly ignore it
I tried it yesterday and that exact thing happened. I don't know when last I've gotten that many potions so yea never again

Welcome to the spire!

I love when the thumbnail contains a card that doesn't appear until the 4th act.
Me too, that late power spike to help kill the heart is amazing 🎉
I went through a rollercoaster of emotions, excited initially, then I though I got clickbaited, then the endorphins kicked in during the heart fight
And when “this is cheating! Incredibly overpowered!” Just to find out it’s literally one copy of an uncommon card 😂
Bag of Marbles is one of my favorite relics. It’s a common relic yet essentially solves Act 1 and parts of Act 2
On one hand, it always upsets me when the cards in the thumbnail show up at the literal end of the run
On the other hand, this run was absolutely bonkers anyways, and I enjoyed every moment.
Also (mildly) upsetting: second TttH was only a dooped one.
I'd have chosen triple Like Water for the thumb, really.
But a great run all the same.
tu-thump tu-thump tu-thump & two on the happy flower, lol

Giant Head retaining Slow counter when using Vault seemed abusable
tiny house seens so out of place for a boss relic

I just beat ascension 19 with watcher today, I'm hoping A20 goes as smoothly as the rest of the climb
I would’ve lost this run first boss! Maybe even elite . I have no patience when math needs mathing

@@Oznerockyeah but he wants it as a power, you could just push your miracles and it's basically free from there, right?
Ten energy and that still might be too cheap.
This is purely a hypothetical and I in no way think this would be good for the game. It would be hilarious, but not good.
Just heal to full on Awakened One by playing powers. Easy.
Good morning Baalorlord

Xtr you better see this
Never didn't have it ❤

Really confused about skipping the Tantrum. Wish he would have explained it rather than just saying that it felt strange to do so
He did mention it a bit later, but its largely because he felt that he was getting wrath enough as it was. When he needed eruption, it was in hand and there was very few bad turns where it wasnt there. So it largely woulda just been an extra card that would just take up his draw
Someone in chat asks this and he explains at 54:28
