Listen, If you're the sort of guy who has a place they gotta get, you're definitely gonna be a fan of the map on account of it'll get you there (I bet)
I do appreciate that NL is trying Corruption even though he dislikes it, but for this run I gotta day the exhume was the right play for double reaper simply and because Corruption messes up strength gain.
An interesting play with exhume is that it allows you to exhaust a card you want, for example to get more block from either second wind or true grit, to then be able to bring it back and not have lost it. Perfect example, turn 1 you are getting hit. You exhaust a limit break because you need the armor and not the doubling strength. Turn 2+, you draw exhume + flex. You now can flex, exhume limit break, double up on strength you otherwise wouldn't have been able to do because you drew limit break first. You now reshuffle limit break into your deck to then possibly even play next turn. This is perfect case scenario and mileage will vary, but it works on top of being able to exhume anything else you currently or futurely will have
I played my first Slay the Spire runs yesterday (bought the game cause it's on sale) and man it's a lot of fun. I "beat" the game on my second run!! Now I get to watch these videos too!
8:20 Also that a card may not be good on it's own but amazing when synergized with a power or item. every time i think a card is bad in StS and then find out it's amazing when combined with another card it's always so eye-opening. makes me re-evaluate every card ive used
I love to see the flex pop. I recommend using your hearthstone skills in slay the spire. Focusing on draw and mana gain then pray for no time keeper works 2/3 of the time. And that ain’t bad. But believe it or not, in my ascension 14 run, I had a double tap fiend fire corruption two ruptures medical kit as the first relic bought from the shop into a late runic pyramid that did over 500 damage in my final even I only needed about 236 damage to wipe through Time Keeper off the face of the Earth once again. Haven’t watched the video yet, just wanted to say you are genuinely inspiring to me in a valuably excellent way.
I've had two of my most pog filled Ironclad runs lately, including a sick Dark Embrace+Corruption+Dead Branch run. Have almost caught up to Ennelle, feels good.
This comment is eye opening for me, I have 300+ hours in slay the spire, I have beat a20 with everyone except the watcher, and never once did I think to skip the chests
Taking Clockwork Souvenir (Artifact) over Girya only to then play Battle Trance on every first turn--while also praying to have more strength for Limit Break to be useful--is EXACTLY why I love NL
I need to know if NL knows he can skip the chests if he has cursed key. You can also know the rarity of the relic from the size of the chest to make the call.
I had an awesome strength run last night. Took a random relic got red skull, and then immediately got a flex, then a limit break, then another flex, then an inflame and then another limit break. Kept the deck small with a few aoe attacks (thunderclap and whirlwind) transformed all strikes and defends that hadn't been deleted, got another flex+ and then got ice cream. It was awesome. Got up to 999 str against donu and deca and it was great. Only on ascension 4, but this was like the 3rd time I've played slay the spire since 2021.
It truly cracks my egg when im ascension 5 and hes doing the dumbest move he could make and winning like corruption isnt good with a typical strength build
bro is allergic to spending energy to draw cards. he also passed up burning pact and upgraded shrug it off over pommel strike. and then he takes 3 curses per run
"don't tell me that i'm wrong i already know that i'm right" - man after using 2 potion on a hallway fight he could have aced without them its funny even at the edge of dying he is still afraid to play corruption and spam block
Why doesn't nl prioritize uppgradering pommel strike more? It increases the draw, not just the damage. It's one of the best upgrades he had from the first boss onwards. Instead he goes for 1 more damage on reaper...
For the pedantic English speakers better than me, wouldn't pre-upgraded be: Before it is upgraded? I promise I am fun at parties, just curious what you think.
Pre-upgraded could be referring to the point in time before it’s upgraded as in pre-nuptial or it could be referring to something that comes upgraded (this was upgraded pre-sale/get) as in preprocessed material.
It realistically has two meanings. It could refer to an un-upgraded card as in "before it was upgraded", but it could also mean the card was upgraded prior or as part of him seeing it, kind of like how credit cards will say you can get pre-approved. Generally, you would infer the second option because the first one is just needlessly complex, like using a double negative. Why say pre-upgraded when you could simply say something less convoluted like un-upgraded. The blanket negation is less confusing than referring to temporal states.
Hemo and second wind were dead draws by act 3. That pain stripped away your helix more than once often when players take cursed key they skip chests this not getting a curse. Should have taken that 2nd enflame in act 3 shop your relics carried a bit of a bloated deck.
Hmm what do I need when I have 5 energy? I know! Seeing red and corruption. I kept track of that seeing red, and it was only played once after that. Nevertheless good run NL. Hope you dont pick up too many bad habits on the way to A20
Has nl beaten the final boss more than once yet? Possibly once per character. He did it when it was released, but i don't think he ever did it since, right?

Yeah the exhume instead of corruption would have allowed him to use reaper or impervious with a little more wiggle room...
Yeah not upgrading and then never playing it didn't help make a case for Corruption in that run

NL getting flex pilled makes me so happy, one of my favorite cards.
Nl underates the heck out of drop kick, doesn't even take it when he has the enemies permanently vulnerable.
Never mind he took one later, never doubt my GOAT.
Been playing along as the Ironclad on a quest to get my first A20 win, I think I've been underrating Spire until now
I still don't know if NL even considers that he could simply not open chests with cursed key.
I don’t think he does but at least he had 100 ways to exhaust this time
You can also game it, large chests are usually worth it but often it’s a skip if it’s small or medium
This comment is eye opening for me, I have 300+ hours in slay the spire, I have beat a20 with everyone except the watcher, and never once did I think to skip the chests
Opening chests is fun though
@@zacharykoll3493 This comment is hilarious, but also sort of relatable. We all have our blind spots eh? 😂

I need to know if NL knows he can skip the chests if he has cursed key. You can also know the rarity of the relic from the size of the chest to make the call.
I'm feeling pretty dumb right now. How did I not know this after hundreds of hours in this game?
NL already puts respect on True Grit and he still has yet to learn how good Dark Embrace and Feel No Pain can be.

25:40 you’re wrong, just play demon form or inflame, get your reaper, heal to full
Get free, 0 cost demon form: "Naw dog, that's too easy!"
26:50 too funny.. could have taken 0 damage but theres no one doing decisions like him
I mean, he still ends the combat at full hp, so in this case it was pretty irrelevant.
the speedruns r crazzyy
What a mature run
Thank you NL for using “myriad” as an adjective instead of a noun.

oh my god y'all is he gonna overdose on flex cards??? if so im all for it
36:57 can some type As tell me why he did not play corruption here?
Limit breaks would exhaust
Not even top form NL can save me from the level of cooked YT is. Serving up 2 unskippable ads in the middle of the video...😬🔫
NorthernLion really gotta give pommel a chance!
bro is allergic to spending energy to draw cards. he also passed up burning pact and upgraded shrug it off over pommel strike. and then he takes 3 curses per run
ALWAYS choose relic swap. It just makes for more interesting games.
"don't tell me that i'm wrong i already know that i'm right" - man after using 2 potion on a hallway fight he could have aced without them
its funny even at the edge of dying he is still afraid to play corruption and spam block

That would be pre-upgrade. Pre-upgraded i would always understand to mean it has been previously upgraded.
That reaper upgrade hurt to watch man. +1 damage? Oof… he had second wind, battle trance, why the reaper?
Hemo and second wind were dead draws by act 3. That pain stripped away your helix more than once often when players take cursed key they skip chests this not getting a curse. Should have taken that 2nd enflame in act 3 shop your relics carried a bit of a bloated deck.
