filling my deck with knives has been really effective for me in the past, although everyone else playing uno gets upset
It's just because you're British
See, that's where I had the wrong idea, I was doing it in poker
🤣🤣🤣
Pfffffffffffft.
@@MasquedMocha how could you tell
I can just imagine The Silent literally bounding off the walls at a constant 30 miles per hour throwing hundreds of shivs at enemies, leaving a trail like Samus in a shinespark
don't forget piercing wail, literally screeching at the enemy until they don't hit as hard
@@jamielayne3916 did he do that in the run?
the only problem is that if you're going with a shiv build you are guaranteed to encounter the time eater as the 3rd boss who will end your run because he's the worst boss in the game

@@ketra1504 well, you can see at the start of act 3 what boss you get, so you have the entire act to grab poison, accuracy, or any high impact or scaling card.
RT truely represents the land of the spire with his complex card build of just pulling out 200 knives and shanking his enemies with it.
hes irish, not british
The authentic Britain vs Ireland experience
Nah, that's the British strat. The Irish strat is clearly car bombing the enemy into submission.
@@asimplekoala6687 That’s offensive… it’d be like saying the American way is flying planes into a building

Certified D&D moment.
The Silent is actually a girl surprisingly enough! This isn't quite apparent in her base design but (if you complete a particular achievement in the game), you unlock her beta card art and let's just say that fact becomes a lot more apparent in some of the beta art designs. (A lot of the other Beta arts in the game are still amazing though speaking as an absolute fan of this game)

@@thefreddyfazter781 this is the funniest thing I’ve ever read Lmao
For those who weren't there for the stream, I think you should know that chat freaked out every time RT played the Survivor card, and they said things like "Nice!" and "Sick flip!" every time he played Backflip.
Chat was obsessed with survivor
what's scary in survivor?
@@NoNameAtAll2 do not question the ways of the Chat.
@@NoNameAtAll2 Nothing's scary about it, they were just like, "OMG, he actually used Survivor!" every single time he used it.
They'd also flip out every time he DIDN'T use Survivor, so there's really just no winning.
Nobody told me that Dublin Spire was actually the Eye of Sauron Tower which explains a lot if it's also the respawn point for all Irish people
But like a severely discounted version.
Considering that it was supposed to have a big light at the top of it, it kind of is
@@SK-ww7ud doesn't it also light up like a lightsaber on May fourth and shit?
Obviously you don't know your Ireland lore
Everyone has a tower respawn point, Big Ben for the English, CN tower for the Canadians, Eiffel Tower for the French and the Empire State for the Americans
RT no you can’t just kill the dublin spire! What will they do without their *historical* landmark?!
Spoiler alert, but even despite Dan's best efforts and ridiculous amounts of knives, The Spire couldn't be Slain, so feel free to sleep in peace, knowing that this landmark is still standing.
They wouldn't know where Dublin is anymore
They'd get lost!
what'd dublin even do without the big rock stick?
RT: Ha. Knives go *shlinck*.
they could always replace it with a toblerone obelisk
rt's character is the equivalent of that scene in movies where they ask the main characters to remove their weapons and they just keep pulling daggers out of increasingly elaborate places
RT's a rogue
@@themushroommonarch well no, rogues will pull more elaborate finness wepons out of weird places
*Looks at my rogue with a vorpal scimitar*
comical
it's that clip from the matrix with the metal detector then neo just reveals an entire armoury in his jacket
@@Memezuii Or when the Joker gets arrested and they pull out like 100+ knives and a potato peeler from his person.
Some tips for those who may want to start playing this lovely game:
- You can enable Fast Mode in the settings, which speeds up the animations pretty dramatically.
- There's a total of 9 bosses, 3 in each act, and all of them perform better or worse against certain strategies. Experimentation is key!
- After beating the game as any character with certain stipulations that I won't spoil, you can unlock the beta art for that character's cards! The newest character even includes a bunch of art that was submitted by the community!
- The game has pretty extensive modding support. In particular, there's a massive expansion mod called "Downfall" that's a full rework of the game to play as the bosses and to essentially travel the Spire in reverse, fighting the playable characters as floor bosses.
- Slay the Spire has an Ascension system, where every time you beat the game, it will start to add stacking difficulty modifiers to your run. You're not obligated to go all the way up, but the Ascensions cap at Lvl. 20 for each character.
Boosting. Thanks for the info!
so true!

this game is BEAUTIFUL and i'm so glad it's getting more love
I think it's key to note some of the beta art is hilarious, especially on the Watcher.
Imagine in an alternative universe, RT is very angry while playing Slay the Spire, and he decide to play Mario Sunshine.
Bianco Hy
If RT does end up streaming Slay the Spire again, this would be a great reference. I imagine that specifically against Time Eater, RT throws out all of his options at Time Eater and his turn automatically ends when the boss is at 1HP. Then RT dies to Time Eater.
That just seems like such a perfect moment to quit and say "Wanna play Mario Sunshine?"
With that deck I was 100% certain he would run into the Time Eater there. You *always* run into the time eater with shiv decks, it's the law...
I mean, that deck was broken enough to beat ascension 0 time eater for sure.
@@samepicgamer and also he did have the fumes to help him using poison
as someone who has been losing the first level of Ascension to the Time Eater for the last 2 weeks, I relate to this comment spiritually
with all those powers i half expected the awakened one to do better...it almost felt like it should have considering he basically ignored the ritualists and let them stack str.
I just ran into Time Eater in Darkest Dungeon because I used nothing but rogues
I wonder if RT only plays this game cause he can complete his dream of killing Dublin Spire.
It's his training for the final fight
Dublin Spire mod? Given that it only appears at the end though, you can just replace the picture on the files.
@DONT go to my home page! sorry i cant read
fun fact- the stream title was “slaying dublin spire”
@DONT go to my home page! Get a father
Alright... So... To summerize...
*TWENTY. EIGHT. STAB WOUNDS. YOU DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE HIM A CHANCE HUH?*
more like twenty-eight thousand stab wounds
He ran into my knife 10 times
You forgot the poison, yes i didnt
*99% Stress Level*
DID YOU FEEL ANGER?
HE WAS BLEEDING, BEGGING FOR MERCY-
Even when this game was only just out, having a deck just built around shivs was fun as hell, glad to see it's only become better
tossing shivs and in general using loads of cards in one turn feels very satisfactory
Super fun until you get Time Eater as your third boss and he just tells you no. I was hoping that's who he'd get and have his deck just hard countered to oblivion.
@@anthonybowman3423 Same
@@anthonybowman3423 I once played with a silent deck with such high drawing power that I was constantly using all 12 moves on Time eater at once. it was fun.
Agreed. Poison and strength strats were kinda fun to play with too.
Dan's second character would be INFURIATING to fight. He just keeps getting faster, dodging every, SINGLE strike, doing piddly-diddly with his own strikes, but throwing SO MANY of them with ever-increasing poison and getting so much more slippery every time he does that you you just keep dying and he JUST. WON'T. GET. HIT!
Spy around here!
Piddly-diddly? After the wrist blade the damage was like six, add the terror and that 'weak' shiv attack is nine! xD
Not the the most impressive amount but it's better than upgraded regular strike
I mean there is a power card called accuracy that increase the dmg of Shiv which is as broken as you can think can be
I’m glad RT has finally decided to destroy the Dublin Spire with his own hands
And about 1.5 metric crap tons of knives
Same, fuck that thing
Dan pulls on green, white, and orange gauntlet: "Fine. I'll do it myself."
RT's deck really ended up being the like the doom guy. Zooming about at 60 miles an hour while flinging so many shivs at his enemies every turn he might as well be firing them out of a shotgun.
Not only is RT RIDICULOUSLY good at this game, but it’s nice to see a content creator take a brief moment to explain the game he’s playing. I’ve never seen gameplay of this game band it was nice to be able to have a head start on understanding what was going on thanks to RT’s little explanation
Thanks for the kind words, you're very welcome :)
He's doing a fantastic job of explaining the game as he goes along, but to call him 'RIDICULOUSLY good' would be hyperbole in the extreme. He's not capitalizing on his Kunai bonus dexterity in the same turns he gets them (he casts his Blocks before he attacks, which is straight up wrong with Kunai) and he isn't prioritizing his offense properly on Ironclad to utilise his heal (visible in him messing up the first fight.) Basically the only reason he wins on Silent is that every single relic he received was god-tier, with the sole exception of Pantograph, which is still really good. His deck also likely loses straight up to Time Eater, one of 3 possible permutations of the last boss, which punishes low-value card spam decks.
For a player who is completely new, this would be good progress, but RT explained on his stream that he HAS played this game on his Switch before, making it impressive the other way around that he hasn't grasped many of these basics intuitively despite playing (presumably) 3-4 runs already before this stream.
That said, RT IS an absolute god at being able to keep his content hilarious even in an otherwise fast-paced, ostensibly 'not much to be said game'.
@@oopsausername4111 I still think he might be able to kill Time Eater, as he has Kunai
Tactically counting cards could save his sorry ass
@@RTGame more like bore ragnarok
Ridiculously good? Bruh, what. He took Barricade on floor 1. He took Bomb _on purpose._ If you think that's "good" I shudder to think what your runs must be.
Slay the spire : How many knives do you want?
RT: Yes
I’ve actually wanted to see this for so long! The nature of rougelikes is so perfect for RTs channel
I've wanted him to play this for like 1 and a half years, just because it's named SLAY THE SPIRE

I like the battle with “The Champ” the most because I just imagine RT going and running up to this hulking Knight in nearly unbreakable armor with a dagger in hand, and then repeatedly trying to shive him in the chest only to have the blade break off. And then he just grabs another knife from his Resident Evil 4 Merchant cloak of wares to start going at him again.
'You have dealt 748 damage to the heart out of the 14.6 Billion total done by everyone.'
"We accounted for at least several billion of that."
RT did a backflip, broke the bad guy's neck, and saved the day.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience

The Final Boss of the game is the most evil spire ever: Dublin Spire.
Dublin's most historic landmark
And fittingly, the final boss perfectly counters RT's playstyle in this video.
@@tortoiseoflegends4466 I don't really know much about Slay the Spire, but that fight seemed really easy for him. How is the Awakened One a counter to his strategy?
@@ayaanmohammad6645 Oh, once you've beat act 3 once you unlock a fourth act, with another boss. That boss has an ability which deals damage to you every time you play a card.
RT can kind of nullify that with his defense whenever he plays a card, but the two kind of cancel eachother out and the boss itself deals heaps of damage on top of that effect.
RT really went through the STS beginner pack, playing Ironclad just to keep dying then switching to silent for a god run
I'm pretty sure that's by design. The ironclad has lots of hp (more from burning blood) and high damage to pretty consistently get through act 1, but the synergies for him are actually not easy to see initially. On the other hand, silent has many cards that directly say "shiv" or "poison", making it VERY easy to find a strong synergy and get a good run. So a new player will have the ironclad's hp to brute force through the game while learning it, while actually learning the hook of the game with the silent.
@@gengarisnotinsmash... _gasp_ you mean this game suffer from... *GOOD DESIGN ?!*
@@gengarisnotinsmash... and then you start playing ironclad again and realise hes the strongest character
@@gabrielbrunet7150 the other day I got an insane ironclad run where I used like 19 cards average a turn. Ironclad is the mot fun character to play IMO
@@Mirdion Corruption right ?
yeah iron is very versatile and all his playstyles are fun cant say that for the others
I’m impressed with how quickly RT managed to get a win, that Silent deck was pretty busted.
There is a deep connection between this game an the actual spire
I mean, we have the GPO, but like...
@DONT go to my home page! get a father
@DONT go to my home page! Severe lack of grass detected
I’ve found like every synergy for The Silent is broken as all fuck, leading to literally every run I’ve played with her being a victory (although I haven’t really played the game a lot tbf), def my favourite character for how absurdly powerful she is
Shield shiv+ envenom is hilarious, especially with snecko skull.
The real final boss is a pretty decent counter to it though, with its ability to deal damage every time you play a card.
@@tortoiseoflegends4466 not with afterimage, especially 2 and kunai or the fan. As even one afterimage offsets the damage from that for a few turns. The build rt had does it effectively permanently, especially when using the shield cards last to make more use of the kunai.
@@generalgarchomp333 on A20 you'd need 3 after images to block the damage for the whole fight, since the heart starts at beat of death 2 (beat of death being the buff the heart has that damages you) and on one of its buff turns it goes up to 3
The thing about the silent is that she has a shit starter deck. The most commonly recognized op character is actually the watcher with someone getting a 80% winrate with her on the highest difficulty (A20 heart)
I was really hoping for RT to just get punished by Time Wizard. Would've been the funniest thing to just get the hard counter to Shivs.
I feel like with how much block RT could gain, especially with scaling dexterity, it would have been fine as long as he played his cards right
@@samepicgamer Fair enough, Im too used to any sense of scaling being outdone by bosses on the higher ascensions.
@@actone4822 yeah, ascension 0 and ascension 20 are 2 entirely different games, I’m curious if RT will try and climb the ascensions, would be interesting to see him get better
@@samepicgamer For sure, I've only got to A13 myself, and I haven't gotten any further than A5 on Watcher. Stuff gets tough.
What does Time Wizard do?
Wow, he really just stumbled into kunai shiv build and didn't hit Time Eater, too. Not bad.
I dont think its 'hero vs giant monster creatures' when the 'hero' instantly gasses the room and becomes a minigun of shivs
Up next: the watcher, in which you no longer ask “do I have lethal” and instead ask “can I end this fight in one turn”
When you have Blasphemy bottled :o
@@placeholder6974 bottled blasphemy + runic pyramid lmao.
Yeah it's super easy to kill yourself with the watcher because you thought you had lethal when you didn't.
Man, I've been playing this game in fast mode so long, I've forgotten what it's like without that option on.
But yeah, this game allows you to do some truly silly things, which is why I love it so much. My personal favorite would probably be the Ironclad combo of Corruption (skills cost 0 and exhaust) and the Dead Branch (when a card is exhausted, generate a random card). It results in a very "RANDOM BULLSHIT, GO!" sort of run.
i fucking hate dead branch so much every time i don't want it i get it that stupid piece of wood is the bane of my existence this is nothing against you i just hate that fucking branch
thats such a fun combo. One time i put it a corruption in the wall grabbed it as the silent with the dead branch and had silent shiv shenanigans
If Dan managed to get the Silent to work, then hot damn is he gonna have a time and a half with the Defect. Had a run with the dude where his turn almost effectively never ended thanks to a bunch of Plasma cards and being able to draw more cards.
This reminds me of that time RT played hearthstone PVE with a ridiculous deck, so much fun
"Have you tried cheating? The enemy won't mind!"
(or something like that, I can't remember the exact quote, I need to rewatch that gem of a video)
@@KingNedya I think you mean "Have you tried taking an extra turn? The enemy won't mind!"
@@crabman2073 Oh yeah that's the one, thank you.
Dammit Khadgar.
@@KingNedya "the enemy started out with extra mana, you should too!". God I love Khadgar. That video occasionally comes up on my recommended and I always rewatch it cause it was so absurd
RT picked up one of the best relics for the silent after getting shivs and reacted as if it was mediocre at best. He wounds me.
Ah he wounds me just like Mark Of Pain does, he shuffles unplayable status cards into my draw pile
RT be like "I don't need friends, I've got knives!"
Next turn "I'm still not out of fucking knives!"
the only flaw of the mad dummy was its severe lack of knives
RT's build is what I like to call the "Welcome to London" build.
By association, the Book of Stabbing miniboss is actually A Tourist's Guide To London.
Personally relate to this game, revenge from my youth walking into the Spire (my family will never let me forget)
They may not let you forget but have you tried simply not remembering?
@@ferretappreciator gaslight them. "What do you mean that happened?? No it didn't I don't remember. You're making it up"

Man got an act 1 thread and needle - barricade deck and then a kunai - after image - blade dance deck on his first two games. Talk about a wild beginner's experience.
don't you hate it when a man pulls out so many knives that you suddenly change from a bird-like creature to an fing porcupine
Slay the Spire is great because it shows you what's gonna happen and I still trip over myself. Peak "the risk I took was calculated, but...."
32:12 Wow! RT has just perfectly described modern Yu-Gi-Oh without even playing the game!
I hope he keeps playing and masters it, there are loads of mods for it and I wouldn't be surprised if there was an RT mod for it.
That being said I'm tempted to try and make one using his sound clips and references for items and cards.
DOWNFALL BABY
Slay the Spire is such an awesome game. It's really cute to see it through the eyes of someone discovering it for the first time again.
That Kunai carried his run and all he said was "Aw thats ok" when he got it LOL
Finally, the long awaited follow up to when RT said “want to play slay the spire” during the Mario sunshine play through.
hearing rt get excited over the things ive seen a million times made my day. i have 400 hours in this game and hearing him enjoy it for the first time takes me back. thankyou
Whilst RT has completed his conquest of regular Dublin Spire. He has yet to meet a far greater foe.
Dublin Spire, with a lightsaber lightshow effect beneath it.
Imagine being the boss of the spire and just seeing a man in the distance backflipping at the speed of sound with raining shivs coming towards you and occasionally knee you in the face
Been excitedly waiting for the "funny cut" ever since I saw the stream
For boss relics, extra energy is always best, EXCEPT for ectoplasm, which stops you from gaining gold, and Runic dome, which stops you from seeing enemy intents.
-Busted crown might be bad for the first boss because from now on all card reward choices are reduced by 2 but once you got your deck mostly built it's free energy.
-Fusion hammer stops you from upgrading at campfires, which is definetely bad early on, but if you upgrade most of your core deck and get it at the end of act 2 it's no big deal. You may need to rest at act 3 anyways, and you might have gotten other relcs that give you other interactions with the campfire to compensate for that. Also there's the eggs.
-Cofee Dripper stops you from resting, but you can compensate for that by using your extra energy for defense.
-Cursed key is free enrgy and a visit to the shop every chest to remove the curse, no big deal.
-Philosopher stone makes enemies stronger, but again, you can compensate yith the extra energy.
-Sozu stops you from getting potions, which are an unreliable part of the run, to give you a reliable extra energy.
4:52
Upgrading Body Slam would've made it cost 0 and you would've got 5 Block from Armaments
The RT ninja run shows how well the block-heavy first runs *could* have worked, if he'd actually focused on block and not constantly bombed every chance he got it.
I just bought this game yesterday after watching the vod. I figured it’d be a great game to play when I’m at uni and need a break. Also, Dan your explanation of the game’s mechanics was wonderful :)
You should try the Downfall mod, too.....once you understand the base game. It gets, complicated.... It's fun, though.
@@avereynakama9854 I’ll take a look at it, cheers
i'm very glad!! i've been in love with this game for years
RT’s hearthstone expertise really shines in these games, I looooved it
You know, after watching so many ascension 20 challenge videos and playing in ascension 17 myself, watching someone learning for the first time feels really refreshing
Already know this is going to be one of those videos that I keep coming back to because it's unreasonably entertaining and feels way longer than it actually is
ive been playing this game for a few months now and im so sad that rt can just instantly win after like 5 tries.
I think his advanced pokemon expertise helps him in this type of strategy game
To be fair, he got pretty lucky with the multiple early after images, the hidden blade, and the kunai at the start (plus he got imo one of the easier 3rd floor bosses, the donut pair (without corpse explosion) and the time slug are a bit trickier to combo). But that luck is also a big part of the fun, since the combos are so satisfying, but I'd also be interested in seeing him try the ascensions though. Since beating the heart is the real challenge.
@@DyslecticAttack
Time Slug is horrible
@@orctrihar Gotta play exactly 12 cards or just die
@@orctrihar facts
I like how under normal circumstances rt played really badly as well because he done block before the kunai buffs
Love to see RT give some British hospitality to those who live in the Dublin spire
I teared up when he said "I am the slay the spire" truly an inspiring moment
The funniest thing to do in this game is do custom mode Silent with Hoarder turned on (hoarder means every time you draw a card you draw 3) combine with Blade Dance (draw 3 shivs [4 if upgraded]), Infinite Blades (draw a shiv at the start of your turn [innate if upgraded]), Dramatic Entrance (deal 11 damage to all enemies [exhaust and innate]{deal 15 if upgraded}), and Accuracy (shivs do 4 additional damage [6 if upgraded]). This isn’t even mentioning the relics. Custom mode in this game is so ridiculously fun if you just wanna fuck around
2:19 drop kick is one of the most broken cards for that character. Get 2 of them and draw your entire deck into your hand through some means. Then you can infinite combo.
Yeah, kind of same to the Ironclad using corruption and barricade/keep the armour -15 artifact. You would think that eventually you'll run out of cards but they just keep coming. Also invulnerable is a good add, 30/40 armour with no cost. I don't remember the highest I got with that run but I think I did have over 200 at one point
It's crazy how much good RNG he gets in this run. Some of the best relics, and a shit ton of rare power cards. It breaks my heart that he didn't buy Vajra or Envenom. Vajra would have given him an extra point of damage for *every* card he played, and envenom would have done *another* two poison damage because it combos with Snecko Skull. He could have been doing 11 damage per card. At 10 cards per turn, that's 110 damage. Finisher also gets these effects for every individual hit, so following that up with finisher would give 9 x 10 damage.
1st run: mid
2nd run: *you cant hurt me jack!*
I never knew how dangerous Ireland was until now. Thanks for the informational video, Dan!
I'm so damn happy to see RT playing one of my favorite games :3
EDIT: Also, there is a secret boss if you finish the game with the three main characters. I wish he'll stream it one day :P
That first build was the most entertaining for me personally
The idea of just being an impenetrable wall that occasionally hits back and throws bombs is so funny to me
I love this game, thanks for playing it!
Kunai & Shuriken + After Image + Shivs + Accuracy + Wrist Blade + Blur + Cheap Block + Finisher is a super strong combo
I wanna see him do all the characters. I feel like if RT gets good at this game he'll absolutely fall in love with the absolute stupidity that is busted builds in the game.
Man some of the silent set ups are absolute insanity I remember this one time when I built an absolute poison deck, I think it was the second floor boss, and I had this card that gives you 3 copies of your selected card and gave myself 3 copies of the card that triples the current poison of the enemy, poor knight ended up with over 200 poison and couldn't even enter phase 2
The silent was my first character that I slew the spire with! I was using a terrifyingly similar deck just stacked with carry-over block, energy cards like outmaneuver, and then just hella poison lmao, I also had the card that deals 10 damage then another 10 if they’re poisoned and I got like 150 or so poison stacked onto the final boss. It was an incredible experience but now I’m trying with the other characters and struggling without my poison :’(
STS is a great game, would love to see more of it from RT!
I was just playing slay the spire fr the first time in about 3 months and immediately after I looked in my recommended and Dan was playing this. I am now the main character
Immediatly after I watched this stream, I used this wombo combo of insanity to win as well. The Silent with an After Image deck is insane.
no idea whats happening but thanks for being a voice in the background so I don't have to be alone with my thoughts
I’m so glad RT is playing this game, it’s genuinely one of my favourites
Watching this reminds me of those really over powered anime characters. He takes no damage and just kills everything. Fucking mad lad.
I am going to scream I am so happy that rt is posting a slay the spire video because this is legitimately one of my favorite games of the past decade. It is such fun to watch someone play
Rip one of Irelands monuments of all time
Watching him play card based roguelikes like this, it makes me wonder of he's ever tried Dicey Dungeons! It's a super fun game where all of your actions and how you use your equipment are dictated by the roll of some dice! It's one I highly recommend!
If you liked this game, I recommend checking out Backpack Hero. It's very similiar to Slay The Spire, but instead of cards, you need to manage your inventory by placing the right items next to each other. It's a bit hard to explain, but the demo was really fun, and the actual game releases in Early Access this August!
Why good sir, that sounds great! Where do I get to play it?
@@HazeEmry Sorry for not responding, it's out on Steam right now!
I rewatched this video, scrolled down and this got my attention a 2nd time. I really have to look it up now lol
I was absolutely confident the final boss was going to be the Time Turner. Always happens to me when I try to build a shiv deck.
Shives was one of the best builds in the game. And then they buffed it.
It really wasn't. Certainly not on the hardest difficulty at least.
Put simply, Shivs get hard countered by Time Eater. And on the highest difficulty, in addition to an obscene number of other ways the game gets more difficult, *the chance you encounter Time Eater is doubled, to 2/3 of all runs.* So it's nowhere near as good in that context.
This makes me want to see rt play peglin. It'd be hilarious to see him build the most incredible deck thing by complete accident and either struggle to hit more than 4 pegs or just totally annihilate everything completely
I can't believe I just watched RT play a dex build. Truly, Dublin Spire brings out the worst in people.
This game looks really fun and Dan really help with that, as someone who really likes Elysian Realm in Honkai this game seems like an amazing time since they both have a very similar playstyle being obtaining and synergysing buffs on every floor with a decent amount of strategy that can make each run unique for a very dynamic experience
Well it helps that this game has a lot of mods and even at a base has 21 standard Difficulty levels, a new challenge that changes every day where you can compare your run's standing on a worldwide leaderboard, a custom run generator where you can use various modifiers, an endless mode, etc.
This game was an absolute steal when I bought it, every minute out of the 250 hours that I've spent was well worth it and I highly recommend it if you're patient with the learning curve!
This game is just Dan's nightmares of attacking the dublin spire. (this joke is probably overused at this point idk)
They're not his nightmares, they're his dreams. Also, there's been like 10 comments about the Dublin Spire within the first 5 minutes, so I'd say this joke is underused really
I have also just realized the thumbnail has THE Dublin Spire, with a knife in it
We've been beaten to the punchline
I absolutely love this game, so glad to see your unique style of gameplay with it! Loved the decks you made
Finally, Dublin Spire has been slain
That Silent Shiv + Block build reminded me of my second ever run of this game.
I got barricade on Ironclad and just grabbed TONS of block cards. I didn’t have entrench unlocked, but I still managed to make it all the way to Awakened One with the deck. Then I died because I bottomdecked barricade in the bloated deck I made while barely understanding the game.
I died to my own Combust, too. I had finally gotten barricade and was starting to out block Woke Bloke’s damage, but he got me low and combust killed me through my block.
I also thought I had almost won, but I didn’t know Awakened One had a phase 2, so not sure if I would have survived that phase.
Slay the Spire is easily my most played game on Steam. Really looking forward to this nonsense
I absolutely love this game. I never realized how boring it is to watch if you have no way to give input
The spire
The long tall thingy
I'm honestly amazed by how much the RNG is cooperating with RT's bunkerbomb build.
