20:32 just didn't even attack. too many missplays, but that was the most jarring for me. especially with bump. He should of wasted a non 6 on the axe/hammer that way if curse trigger get gets 4 free dice out of bump. Which could lead to more damage over time.
NL rushing through things so fast that he has to literally restart the run because he has no idea what's going on since he didn't take the time to read anything is kind of peak NL.
Rerolls 4s even thougj they are his best bet (misses lethal a few times). Keeps bumping 6s for no reason as he already has way more than enough dice. Idk man, scrambled eggs for breakfast
@@888ian2 sure, but you know whats better? bumping the 3's into 4s for battle axe for the garunteed 4 instead of making a bunch of 1s you have to rng for.
The easiest character, still, this episode was SO HARD TO WATCH, YOU HAVE 3 BATTLE AXES WHY ARE YOU REROLLING ALL THE FOURS! Edit: Oh, let’s use this D6 on Brimstone, I really want Pit Lord this run.
Creating multiple dice lets him keep results so he doesn't have to worry about losing damage. Course the bumps were guaranteed damage so while I'm sure there are edge cases where that keeps you from rerolling bad damage into very bad damage, that ultimate was the sub-optimal play the vast majority of the time.
"Bump has failed us every time" Maybe you should try and use that to your advantage!! 15:15 Ayy there it is 21:47 See you think that'd be good. It doesn't work. Tried it on a witch run and found out you literally can't use the dice lock with freeze.
If you only have space to use three dice, what's the point in continuing to generate more dice with bump? Figure out what your optimal set of dice is for your equipment, then try to get that. Also - christ it was hard to watch every time you threw away a 6 to the curse.
Elmore Evans it’s because he makes a million extra dice for no reason and doesn’t effectively utilize his best damage output move (battle axe) that the *entire* freaking level is built around, ol egg boy
It really feels like magic when NL recovers from his stupid mistakes... also, I wonder how much content could one make by roasting him for every mistake he makes while playing.
Why did my mans reroll a 4 on the vacuum fight when he had shield and battleaxe left? Edit: can't even be mad about that because he literally ended turn when he had a battleaxe and a 2 left on wickerman
I found out the hard way that you can’t plug 1’s into Counterspell, freeze the enemy, and have their frozen dice be locked. When an equipment says “Roll” it refers to when the dice is made and added to the board, and not when it hits a certain value after being rolled.
25:50 egghead had three attacking equipment to work with, all of which are best with 5 or 6. The first 6 bump was smart since he gets a third die, but then my mans decided to make 3 more ones instead of rerolling and using bumps to achieve max damage. I think I finally understand the frustration people had with early slay the spire since I'm actually playing this game. Egg needs to slow things down
Hi NL! Hear me out, if you get bump on the magician you can get an infinite number of dice with the value you want if you learn it on slot number 1 and put it on an upgraded spot. I'll let you figure it out ;) Love the content!
It's amazing how differently I approached this chapter compared to Egg By which I mean I just loaded up on attack cards and killed everything before they could do too much damage to me. After the first floor it basically played itself.
Rule of thump NL, "you dont need more dice than you have equipment that consume them" at least for the warrior. If you have 4 equipment that consume dice, generating a 1 is a waste off of bump. its better to re roll a dice or to bump a number that is lower to one that is better.
That bump curse at the beginning. We really need someone to count how many times in a row bump was the thing to get cursed. At some point, failing that many coin flips is absurd.
I despise NL's usage of Bump. Not because getting an extra die is bad, but because *You only have three things that can use dice to actually do anything why are you trying to make a bunch of extra ones?!*
Watching Ryan bump 6s the whole run to what seemed like no end and then doing the same on the boss to reduce the effectiveness of the boss's shock to literally zero and proving me wrong is humbling. Perhaps I can learn from egg rather than just yelling. My world is rocked.
a broken clock still works twice a day, literally that is what hes doing. SOMETIMES its a good idea to bump the 6's but he had almost no use for the ones, or the sixes. Seriously with 3 battle axes he could have bumped lows into 3's and '4s and just slaughtered everything.
Yes, but now he can lose a six dice to a cursed bump, then reroll another dice twice, get a five, bump it twice and then end up with a six and an one for a total of four dice! At least it purge the curse.
I think bump might be bugged. It's not always the first one you use,, but I do think it goes up, like 80% first, 90% second and 100% third, based on the amount of equipment you have
I hope the creator sees this I played the witch and got the spell that “Locks” numbers you put in the spell. For some reason. It locks numbers SOMETIMES but then I’ll lock 6 and the Jester rolled a 6 and just kills me. It happened twice in the same fight.
Am I right in saying that shock and freeze kind of anti-synergise? You're locking a piece of equipment, but giving the opponent a one dice to unlock it with. I guess the freeze lowers their highest dice to a one, so it's probably still worth, but it seems to me that you'd be better doing either two shock or two freeze than one of each.
I hope NL doesn't read the comments. All it is is people crying over little mistakes rather then actually enjoying the gameplay. He can literally win a run and people find shit to complain about just got the sake of complaining
I'm going to go out on a limb and say he doesn't figure out that curses don't affect your character's skills for the entire run. Edit: Oh hey, he did it. Let's see how he fucks up next.
7:35 has a four and can use it for eight damage
Rerolls and turns it into a 1 instead meaning he can only deal 2 damage
Good job egg, you did it again
he was probably looking for a high odd
He does this on the first fight too
gives up 8 damage for a 1 in 6 chance at 5 shield. while at full hp. classic egg
20:32 just didn't even attack. too many missplays, but that was the most jarring for me. especially with bump. He should of wasted a non 6 on the axe/hammer that way if curse trigger get gets 4 free dice out of bump. Which could lead to more damage over time.
Julian Viquez This made me sad too
NL: * gets a third Battle Axe+ *
Also NL: * Doesn't equip all three for maximum meme *
Still NL: * Calls episode "Axe" *
Mozumin not even really a meme tbh, w some proper value manipulating cards to accompany them 2-3 battle axes can shred
NL rushing through things so fast that he has to literally restart the run because he has no idea what's going on since he didn't take the time to read anything is kind of peak NL.
Egg, you marketing genius, you have made so many people want to buy this game with some of the bone head plays you make. Love your shenanigans though
This is exactly how I got into xcom 2, tetris 99, and into the breach...
did you mean how i bought Darkest Dungeon , enter the gungeon and isaac ?

Literally me with slay the spire, darkest dungeon and now this
After 3 eps I had to get it
I believe in you NL, you can do it.
Edit: Oh god what is he doing?
My friend, is this the first episode you've watched?
The NothernLion Experience™
At 20:32 has a 2 to use in battle axe ends turn the 4 dmg forsaken why
It wasn’t “a perfect set up”. Egg doesn’t want your imperfect 2s.
nooo my 2s being forsaken big sad
When coin flips meet dice, a scrambled egg is what you get.
20:30 has a two which can be put into battle axe for 4 more damage *skips* OK
7:30 has a 4. “Reroll” OK...
Rerolls 4s even thougj they are his best bet (misses lethal a few times). Keeps bumping 6s for no reason as he already has way more than enough dice. Idk man, scrambled eggs for breakfast
this episode reminds me why I didn't watch the eggman till he was at least a few hundred episodes in slay the spire
Yum yum yum, all the frustrations of slay the spire in a brand new spicy format.
Oof why does NL keep making more dice instead of bumping dice to something better when he doesn’t have a use for the extra ones he’s making
Wondering the same, Can use 4 dies. "Lets make mooooore dies, 6 are not enough"
more dice is ALWAYS better, even if you dont even have enough ways to spend your dice obviously.
He can re roll them
@@888ian2 sure, but you know whats better?
bumping the 3's into 4s for battle axe for the garunteed 4 instead of making a bunch of 1s you have to rng for.
@@napalm777 But why do that if you can just create more dice out of thin air? Poof, magic!

Character abilities can't be cursed, NL.
NL getting into old slay the spire habbits by leaving dice unspent.
Slow down, Dad.

Great NL logic: let's only bump 6's all the time to get more dice than can be used, rather than using it to get useful dice.
Welcome to land of wasted bumps, ill be your guide.
Ok NL congrats on that one but keep in mind that this was an easy one and that some of your plays were painful to watch
This guy actually thinks NL reads comments.
Nah dude I just want my internet points that's all
I found out the hard way that you can’t plug 1’s into Counterspell, freeze the enemy, and have their frozen dice be locked. When an equipment says “Roll” it refers to when the dice is made and added to the board, and not when it hits a certain value after being rolled.
Is there a video of Lady Luck just making noises because I need that for *reasons which need not be stated*
NL still doesn't know curse only affects equipment and not passive abilities
10:24
How was that not the best thing to do? 5 damage and 1 off the Pea Shooter counter vs. 3 dmg.
10:25 You feel like sacrificing 2 damage for 5 damage and a shock is a "bit of a wash" eh?.. Interesting.
please tell me he figures out that combat roll doesn't proc curse
You made the comment so I don't have to

Love the content!
17:35 Even tough he "organized" the equipment, when the next battle starts everything is shuffled around, is this common?
3:21 he could've had lethal without using his fury by using a 2 dice first instead of a four dice
I'm loving these episodes
Egg, I love you for the pun at 7:02 you're amazing
The only thing that bright my day more than an egg video is the comment section
Good win but watching all the misplays hurt me deep inside.
Actually adictided to this series♥
WaffleWeeb agreed. I actually built a pc after 19 years of console gaming for the sole purpose of playing this game
7:28 popped my brain aneurism and I'm fucking dead now you rotten egg
It's amazing how differently I approached this chapter compared to Egg
By which I mean I just loaded up on attack cards and killed everything before they could do too much damage to me. After the first floor it basically played itself.
Loving the series keep it up
The disrespect toward Battle Axe in this episode is sickening.
Have fun. Warrior-3 is Worse Than a Curse.
I found warrior 3 more enjoyable than 2
Love this series so much
i dont understand why the equipment is always randomized in battle
same...
Rule of thump NL, "you dont need more dice than you have equipment that consume them" at least for the warrior. If you have 4 equipment that consume dice, generating a 1 is a waste off of bump. its better to re roll a dice or to bump a number that is lower to one that is better.
so fury bump gives you two dice of value X+1... and Fury Bump 6 gives you 2 sixes and 2 ones for the cost of a six?
1 minute in and I already have no idea what this man is doing. xD
1:31 The Egg is _larger than before!_
Never tries to purge the curse before bumping. "What you gonna do?".
Holy shit, these bumps are the most cursed thing in the world.
Congrats on the win and thanks for the entertainment
Every time i hear him say crack open this one i just think Craack open a cold one
Okay everyone talking about how bad nls play is but we got a xl egg cam and I couldn't be more happy
That bump curse at the beginning. We really need someone to count how many times in a row bump was the thing to get cursed. At some point, failing that many coin flips is absurd.
It's hilarious, and I'd be interested to know the odds/how many times that happened, but that really seems like it is broken.
Holy Meowers i love this game and this series
I despise NL's usage of Bump. Not because getting an extra die is bad, but because *You only have three things that can use dice to actually do anything why are you trying to make a bunch of extra ones?!*
So frustrating to see him re rolling the 4's at the beginning.
Great video NL, Thanks for the content :)

Yes, but now he can lose a six dice to a cursed bump, then reroll another dice twice, get a five, bump it twice and then end up with a six and an one for a total of four dice! At least it purge the curse.
Am I crazy? Is cursed the first card you use? Or did Egg get severely unlucky with like 8 curses on bump in a row?
I think bump might be bugged. It's not always the first one you use,, but I do think it goes up, like 80% first, 90% second and 100% third, based on the amount of equipment you have

AT 29:13, honestly great play, no complaints
Don't worry about good habits to get into, there are many bad habits to get out of first
Why do you create more ones when you already have all the dice you need?
Curse doesn't affects the character's ability. In this scenario - Combat Roll can't be cursed.
noice gameplay brother!
Curse run wasn't the most difficult, but my God was it frustrating baiting out that curse every turn
I love for this episodes
He created lots of dice but then often had dice unused and the dice he did use were worse than they could’ve been
The Mad Lad enjoys seeing multiple dice, cuz by God we all know that they aren't good for anything.
I love your videos Northern
Am I right in saying that shock and freeze kind of anti-synergise? You're locking a piece of equipment, but giving the opponent a one dice to unlock it with.

NL overvalues spiked shield so much, who cares about a little shielding when you can get way more damage efficiency with battle axe.
For those who care about the lore BaerTaffy reads through them like a nice person unlike egg here.
Waited all night to watch this lol
This episode was incredibly hard to watch. I can handle normal NL shenanigans, but this was something else.
