That flaming Lagavulin fight was incredible.
my biological clock is getting better and better at predicting when these are gonna come out
i don't know whether to be happy or afraid
i just use an actual clock
7am-8am Alaska Time usually
11:00 am central time
It's a weird phenomenon, I also have a similar thing, I wake up a few minutes before the video is public, like my body wants to watch this egg try the spire
First use of Armaments -> upgrade a basic Defend instead of Shrug It Off...
Never disappointing, egg...
23:20 'entrench is amazing at allowing us to get to 10 block with 2 energy even if we only draw one block' Soo he's evaluating it as amazing because it's as good as basic defend. I'm not saying the card is bad but his explanation is beyond scuffed.
Thank you, was about to comment this. Next he'll say double tap is good because it allows you to deal twelve damage even if you only draw one strike. He just doesn't understand at all the function of the card lol
@@cookiedragon8234 It genuinely feels like an anomaly how he's so bad at this game most of the time and after so many hours since he's obviously a smart egg.
@@Ghostneedle1 I just think he fundamentally doesn't understand the deck-building process in this game. When evaluating cards, he rarely looks at every necessary factor (upcoming boss, nodes down the path, nearest shop, etc.) to consider and instead just takes or skips based on his gut, which clearly doesn't know what it's doing, or conjures an incorrect reason like he does with entrench. He either tries to force an archetype, tries to force four archetypes simultaneously, undervalues a deck-defining component of his kit, overvalues a different component of his kit, or skips so many decent cards that he's practically doing the starter deck challenge. To win he really needs to change his entire thought process and slow down. Heck, even little things like automatically skipping any event with a potential downside (lose HP gain gold, take apparitions which are high-key OP in lower ascensions, etc.) screw him over in the end.
You are not understanding his explanation. He said that he believes it is good because realistically, he thinks it'll never be worse than a defend, while at the same time it has the potential to be much better than one.
@@theWebWizrd At 23:14 that definitely doesn't feel like what he's saying? Is there a part where he mentions that specifically?
Girya is so great, especially as the Ironclad where there are a lot of strength multiplying options. Not sure how it's possible to undervalue it
Depends on the build and cards. 3 Strength is also literally 1 turn of an upgraded demon form. A few strength isn't always worth skipping multiple card upgrades.
With Limit Break, it's undeniably worth it to start with some Strength. Otherwise, it's a little more up for debate - Strength is good for the Ironclad, but losing three upgrades is rough.
One way to do the math on Girya is to see it as an upgrade for all attacks. If you have three attacks, a maxed Girya might be a wash vs three upgraded cards. If you have more than three (usually the case), Girya scales up in value.
Double loss length bois
Listening to him talk about the values of having entrench without barricade was just funny
0:21 "i think this is making me better with all characters"
StS: YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
I think the point in which my eyebrow started twitching was him playing all of those defends instead of the better strikes when the opponent was not attacking.
I am going to lose my mind at NL's complete lack of understanding at when deck thinness works and is good and how to card evaluate.
"I have too many blocks!"
-immediately takes flame barrier over body slam-
His reasoning for it was sound though.
If there's a highlight reel for slay the spire in general that lagavulin fight would be on it, absolutely insane how long he was hanging on by just a thread
Northernlion Misplays Slay The Spire
Misplays the Spire
I feel taking an anger in the second run could have been could to try and mitigate some of his energy issues with all of the high cost powers
just spam defect until youre done with it
What do you do when you have a decent amount of HP at a camp and you have the shovel? do you smith? every time you've had that relic you've gone for dig a random relic every time. You know what's a great relic? Vajra. Imagine how OP would be a shovel that always dug Vajra. You'd be mad to smith if you had that.
Generally true, but some upgrades are kinda necessary. Like in order to be played necessary. Like entrench for example. Else its kinda just a curse in your deck.
that first run just shows once again nl has no idea how to build a deck
as does the second...
Please don't fall into the cycle of forcing the same build each time. It's sad when you start the run with Girya and very quickly start talking about body slams. Claw is a common defect card and when it inevitably shows up we're back to early 2017 All For One tunnel vision NL every time.
Can we talk about him tossing the three strikes away with gamblers brew that would’ve killed the angry mushroom?
Was a great use of a potion wasn't it
I was freaking dieing lol
My egg. He’s very sick
He only had 2 mana though
@@simoncraen1320 He didn't have to play armaments though.
That first Elite fight is why you need frontloaded damage cards in Exordium.
If Sever Soul was Fiend Fire . . . let me finish that for you., . . .it would be a completely different card. There you go. Yes they both exhaust, but their main uses are different. Fiend Fire is meant to be used as a nuke, sacrificing cards to execute an enemy. Sever Soul is meant for heavy hitting early on (having some actual damage probably would have helped that flaming lagavulin) and to cleanse a deck full of Wounds or curses.
So you love Uppercut to death, but somehow detest Clothesline. You've learned on the Silent of strong weakness is. Its incredibly good on the other classes too, they just don't have as many good sources of it. Clothesline is one of the good sources for the Ironclad. And it, unlike Uppercut, doesn't require an upgrade to be useful.
Pommel Strike is good. Its card draw, and card draw is good. Therefore Pommel Strike is good.
Ok, so the main reason Perfected Strike sucks is that it relies on filling your deck with 'strike' cards. While most of those cards are good in their own right, you need to really load your deck with them in order to make Perfected Strike really good. But then you have the issue of drawing that one super buffed card in a remarkably thick deck. And cards that completely rely on the luck of finding specific cards are basiclly a gamble as to wether they're trash or any good. *cough Claw cough*
Demon Form fits well in defensive decks. The card needs you to sit around long enough to build up good strength, and defensive decks need some sort of scaling or build up to do something other than just survive. Its a perfect fit.
"If we had taken a Cleave just for this one fight" That's basically AoE cards in a nutshell. You take them expressly so the multi enemy horde fights don't wreck you.
33:05 yes, it's painful because you killed the enemy that makes you vulnerable when it dies instead of killing the enemy that makes you frail and does more damage first.
is anyone else getting a bad feeling now that nl started looking at card raritys
Body Slam+ is a great card for a strength build. Get a Limit Break and start scaling your strength. Then, the Body Slam+ is a lot of damage for 0 energy.
that fucking play on the muggers when he has black blood.
NL you play way to defensive on the 1st floor, its crazy to think you'll kill the elites without taking damage, instead try to kill them as fast as possible by being more aggressive
i knew it as sson as he picked up the demon form he wouldnt be able to commit
The madman has DONE it. He has TAKEN THE FLAME BARRIER
i cry everytime he uses a speed pot and plays only one defensive card.
Jeez, make sure to stay well hydrated then, you're losing a lot of water
Way too many win condition cards. Typically win condition cards have either 1) costly energy requirements 2) weak on their own, but exponentially better with synergy 3) gradually gain in strength over the course of a fight. Or any combination of these things. As such, it’s best to limit the number of win condition cards in your deck, especially early on. Ironclad is much more capable of taking greedy cards early on, since he’s a lot more survivable in the early game with his starter relic, high quality common cards available, and relatively decent starter deck. So it isn’t necessarily a bad idea to get greedy if you are offered high-power-level, rare cards. But it’s also good to strike a balance.
And the run was definitely straddling archetypes, but again, that isn’t always a bad thing. If you build towards a barricade deck but don’t have any body slams, it can be helpful to pick up a demon form; which, despite not traditionally fitting in the barricade archetype, can synergize with barricade as a means to tank up while you wait for demon form to scale up.
Nl im gonna be honest, i think your play and decision making has gotten worse since you went back to ascension 0, you’ve gotten too comfortable this more forgiving mode. But im sure with a fee ascension runs you’ll return to your original skill level:)
John Ryan his terrible play mostly just coincides with booting the game
Why take a body slam in a defense heavy deck?! That would make too much sense!!!!!!!
When i said nl should pivot when the game keep giving him cards for a build he didn't decide after the first combat, this was not what i had in mind. Don't keep pivoting back and forth...
Demonform and juggernaut is such a messy clusterfuck, shouldve just stuck with a defensive deck with 2-3 juggernauts or entrenching into barricaded body slams without juggernauts
My lord and egg. Too many high cost cards that require a much different deck with each card. Your cards looked like you got a bad draft at a magic tournament.
Removing a card for free is not just okay. :P
He doesn't seem to register the fact it's removing card without having the price of the next removed card increased the way it is in the shop.
Holy shit that first elite fight
Little known fact: If you leave a controller plugged in while you play Slay the Spire, there is a 10% higher rare card spawn rate. The Egg is just that MLG.
Says Vial is bad, thinks Black Blood is amazing
Ahhhh I get it now, a continued losing streak I see
I just miss ascension runs. He’s getting close to 20’s.
demon form + flex + cleave = multiple enemies wipe
Why did he take barricade...
23:22 what is this argument ? you are saying its as good as a basic defend.
Stop praying for the Lagavulin, you're making him too strong!
I played StS before the defect was added and watched this series last year, I wasn't particularly good but I played enough to unlock all the red/green cards then I forgot about it until this popped up in my feed and I thought I really gotta play some StS again. My point here is I was never great or experienced and I have had a looong gap since I last played. I've played perhaps 8-10 games and beaten the 3rd boss perhaps 5 times, once per character and another 2 times with the defect since I have not unlocked its stuff. So what I just don't understand is how NL has 380 episodes of this series and seems to be winning less often than me. Why does he keep ignoring good cards? Why does he keep trying to force builds based off of one card he likes? I understand commenting while playing is distracting too, but to this extent? It's still fun listening to NL ramble, of course, or I wouldn't watch this at all, but I wish he'd pay a bit more attention to the game.
Perhaps your lying, or you're very good. This game is HARD. I agree nl shouldnt be as bad as he is at this point, but it's not as simple as you make it seem. Im pretty good at this game and I didn't win 5 of my first 10 runs...
Yup, I recently had a break of like half a year of playing StS, came back and got the act 4 win on all characters in max 4 tries.
I do not understand how this man can be so consistently bad and learn absolutely nothing
BODY.SLAM
Spay the slire
2 loss length bois
Has NL killed the heart with with every character yet?
Everyone but the defect
TAVIS214 he goes too hard for the claw deck. Should try something else.
Frost is the way to go. With a lot of focus. I've done it with frost and a crap ton of blizzards.
Do you even lift bro? (NL plz)
More spire eggboi
at about 9 minutes in you face a fungi beast and you replace your strikes using a potion, you could have killed it
This egg won with all 3 already did he not? He’s just making excuses lowkey to not get beat up in ascension
unless im misremembering, he has NOT beaten it with the Defect yet. Hes gotten there, but not won.
@@Durzaka you're right. He only has the defect left
Durzaka I see. I thought he got a defect win already
SEEE YA *im sorry*
Complains of too many blocks - keeps ignoring Anger...
👏anger👏is👏a👏horrible👏card👏without👏unceasing👏top👏
@@JPK314 Unceasing top makes it fantastic, but with a few points of strength and some draw it is already quite fun. I got prismatic shard once as the Silent, Hidden Wristblade and an upgraded Anger. 0 energy, 11 damage. Fights don't last very long when you're doing 77 damage per turn :-)
less than 100 views I am so early :P
but pommel strike isnt a good card. its filler.
Pummel is bad
Nl undervalues girya big time
Excuse my Indonesian but how the HECK is he getting *worse* ?!!? Its like he unlearned how to play the game over the course of a month.
I really like watching slay the spire but, the misplays reminds me that I want him to stop making slay the spire episodes.
Like for islam
