One minute into the run: We shouldn’t shoot for any specific archetype, you can’t control what you get Five minutes into the run: We should get prismatic shard and body slam
The n*(n+1)/2 formula NL mentioned (to calculate poison damage) is easy to remember if you think of it geometrically: if we apply 6 poison, that does 6 damage, then 5, then 4… down to 1. Represent these numbers as columns of dots and arrange them in order: you will have a “right triangle” with 6 dots for both base and height. Mirror this triangle upside-down and put it on top of the original triangle: you now have a rectangle with base 6 and height 7 (6+1, 5+2…). The total number of dots in this rectangle is 6*7, so the number of dots in the original triangle must be 6*7/2. Generalizing, we get the n(n+1)/2 formula.
@@BuddhaMonkey7 Gotta agree, you could scrutinise it at higher ascensions but he took less than 100 damage during the remainder of the run. Woulda made the deck better but its absence was not felt is how I'd put it.
Hello Northernlion. In your life you have been obsessed with playing Slay the Spire as fast as possible, ignoring the feelings of your community and the rage of the comments. In front of you stands a computer with a round of StS booted up. Your starting relic has been switched with Unceasing Top. Everytime you skip over the card it draws the electric collar around your neck will give you a shock. Will you finally learn to slow down or will you rush directly into your own doom?
It's crazy how he turns back into a brand new player whenever he switches characters. Bro has played to Ascension 20 on each of them before and played this game off and on for six years.
Every time NL mentions Magic the Gathering, I get a little shimmer of hope that maybe one day we'll get to see him play Magic. NL on Shuffle Up and Play or something would be incredible.
I have waited for this. Silent is my fave. Also missing unceasing top should be on a bingo list if such exists. EDIT: not making one, make it yourself. Love ya nl. You a dream bro
Im. Im actually seriously excited for The Silent runs. Im pogged. There, i said it. Egg is amazing. Thanks Egg. Edit: That corpse explosion at the end was just entirely BM. Holy man.
23:22 I think a trap game is more ‘I am worried my team will be too overconfident, and their hubris will cost them’. Or that the ‘trap’ team is *not* as bad as people are saying and thus more worthy of respect
I can see a world in which NL completely ignores well laid plans forever. Which has got to be one of the best silent powers in the game, and each time it is going to bug me lol. I cant wait
suggestion (that probably will not be taken by our lovely egg (and that is understandable)): Maybe every 5 ascensions try tackling the heart? Could spice this lovely series of videos up (and maybe even prolong it a tad..? :) Keep up the great work
dear egg, corpse explosion does not require the enemy to still have poison on him when he dies for the other one to take the damage. Also, claw for the defect does not increment when playing it with echo form
15:08 the proper mathematical formula for poison is (n(n+1))/2. So in this case 6 times 7 which is 42 divided by 2 is 21. Edit: 16:04 He got there himself! But as a proper chatter I will claim that I retroactively supplanted it into his mind.
After a20, may i recommend a mode of play that I thoroughly enjoy?: Custom Mode, A9 (screw the curse we are having fun) Pick your favorite character, I like watcher bc double damage to start is insane… turn on prismatic lens from the start You tend to get overpowered quickly but it’s so satisfying For an added challenge (and relics) I turn on more elites and elites in question marks Edit: I only ever play on mobile so I’m looking forward to you playing around with the downfall mod, id also love to see what’s up lol
You know what this run really could have benefited from? One of the 5 acrobatics that were passed up. Would have really hit the spot on some of those dead turns.
Ironclad has been real silent since this dropped

Silent has been the Real silent since this dropped
I don't know how often it gets said, but I wanted to say how much I appreciate that NL still does TH-cam videos instead of just uploading VODs.
1000% i love youtube only stuff

The Silent be like: "..." And then win the run with shivs and poison
He's doing the Ludwig stare in the thumbnail too
NL, Poison Explosion does not require the target to still have poison when they die for the effect to go off
Dash is the ultimate NL card because it allows you to make attacking and defensive moves at the same time
That’s the secret brother
cant believe he lost all that gold from the thieves just because he used the sucker punch instead of the strike :D
intangible potion on 10 damage thats the gameplay i want
the silent when the yapper walks in: 😱
Less than a minute in and he's not beating the sexist allegations
it's not his fault the silent isn't currently eating sushi. how are you meant to know otherwise
Beating the allegations like I beat my wife (I am alone)
but can you name 100 women like he can? perchance
One minute into the run: We shouldn’t shoot for any specific archetype, you can’t control what you get
Five minutes into the run: We should get prismatic shard and body slam
16:56 me to my ass after i accidentally sit on the stove
we're slay the spire girls of course we need videos to eat our lunch!
Yerrrrp
it be like that
✋present
my supper, but yes 🙌
yuh
Ryan missing the classic unceasing top by looking away at 30:12 is just amazing
Looking at chat when it doesn't exist, he's cooked
he could be staring dead at the screen and his mouse cursor would still be on the End Turn button 1 frame after the last card in his hand resolves
when the top does in fact cease

Instructions unclear; I've exploded the corpse of a sentient circle.
Got slapped by math book. Took me by surprise. Became smarter tho 👍

Hey guys, NL is a nominee for best strategy streamer in the streamer awards. If you want to, you could go vote.
+2 good one man
We’re math guys, of course we recall the formula for the nth triangular number
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE SILENT FOR SO LONG. ;-; WHEN HE BEAT A20 YESTERDAY I WAS HYPE FOR THIS MOMENT!!!!
i already know, this guy will have 2 alchemises in his deck, and will still think sacred bark is bad
This one's for the 2% of women in the audience
Thief corpse explosion play had me dying at my desk
Accuracy showing up again just to make sure you knew it was a shiv build, in case the ninja scroll wasn't enough.
Unceasing Top really came in clutch this round
The best time to schedule a podiatrist appointment was ten years ago... the next best time is now.
The first leg sweep skip .....it begins
It seems fine to skip on this run and on A1.
@@penguindrummer252 Yeah it's a great card but he wasn't exactly hurting for defense when it showed up.

15:00 When your Issac Newton but the falling apple concussed you.
Unceasing Top really is NL's nemesis. He will never remember it.
33:36 Me when I get the non-double damage skewer.
I take every piercing wail they offer me, catch me with like 5 of them in my deck.
NL I don’t think you need to keep poison on it to keep the Corpse Explosion going
15:58 when I'm in 3rd grade math class and the teacher asks me the formula for Gauss's Sum
12:42 he FINALLY uses Omamori in a run
and it's only cuz he literally JUST got it 😂. spoilers he doesn't use the other half of it
If you are looking at more characters "the cursed" has a really cool unique way to play!!
We are youtube frogs. Of course we watch the video >10 min of upload
The beginning of the end, thanks for the videos so far!
He did mention trying out a mod afterwards, fingers crossed.
acrobatics is also great when you really hate your curse
He juuuuust had to bring up the Carolina Panthers 😭 😭 😭
Clean, and the deck kept changing directions but still worked. Such a great game!

Downfall after Silent if you’re not burnt out of STS by then would be banger, egg man
I have waited for this. Silent is my fave.
Also missing unceasing top should be on a bingo list if such exists.
EDIT: not making one, make it yourself.
Love ya nl. You a dream bro
I'm excited to see the strategies NL comes up with for the Silent! My play in the other characters has improved so much from watching him.
Bro gets phantasmal and IMMEDIATELY skips pyramid... Never change enelle
Someone who can reach him should probably let him know that Corpse Explosion doesn't require poison to still be on the target when it dies to proc.
Title: Me every time I click on a video from my favorite parasocial bald best friend.
catalyst: "I've got triples of the poison"
LET’S GOOOO THE SILENT
The tops do be ceasing
Im. Im actually seriously excited for The Silent runs. Im pogged. There, i said it. Egg is amazing. Thanks Egg.
Edit: That corpse explosion at the end was just entirely BM. Holy man.
18:53 me explaining to my friend how the business cycle works
22:04 Explaining compounding interest and the value of saving to my kid
NL getting mogged by BOTH the ascension 1 robbers is hilarity
23:22

Keep up the great work
now this is what I've been waiting for
it feels somehow sad to say goodbye to the Ironclad... the times we had... perfected strike... But oh boy am I down for the Silent
4:46 Me when the new guy in the multiplayer stealth game is trying to sneak up on me but I don't want to make him feel bad:
What an absolute blunder on the 2 thieves.
Busting out the Nth triangular number formula to calculate the poison damage against book of stabbing gives me high hopes for the rest of these runs
Pogged out of my gourd for this series
Appreciating the decoratin', brother
"This is a great Corpse Explosion fight" You are damn right it is!
the silent is my favorite class in slay the spire
looking forward to 19 more floors of well laid plans disrespect
He’s looking for them Cattle Eyes. 👀
Ascension 1 runs make you feel like a god
never thought i'd see this day
Downfall me for sure brother! Keep up that great work! Appreciate you Ryan!
it's silent time, I'm so chuffed
dear egg, corpse explosion does not require the enemy to still have poison on him when he dies for the other one to take the damage.

Taking Lizard Tail first relic on Ascension 1 ICANT
Letsgo! Gimme lots of those ill thought out Shiv runs.
Lovely run brother! No notes. Glad to see the silent, also not a fan of the watcher :)
classic nl not spending all his gold at the last shop

Edit: 16:04 He got there himself! But as a proper chatter I will claim that I retroactively supplanted it into his mind.
I hope after the ascension climbs he does casual runs as videos or on stream and takes fun stuff like prismatic shard and brimstone
I’m starting to think he’s in it for the love of the game.
NL looking me dead in the eyes this thumbnail knowing damn well Im a type A
Merciless !
damn, 10 seconds in and he's already misgendering the Silent...
The silent!?!?? YESSSSSS!
And here it is. pog
After a20, may i recommend a mode of play that I thoroughly enjoy?:
Custom Mode, A9 (screw the curse we are having fun)
Pick your favorite character, I like watcher bc double damage to start is insane… turn on prismatic lens from the start
You tend to get overpowered quickly but it’s so satisfying
For an added challenge (and relics) I turn on more elites and elites in question marks
Edit: I only ever play on mobile so I’m looking forward to you playing around with the downfall mod, id also love to see what’s up lol
Another ascension closer to NL playing Downfall boys
Honey wake up, NL The Silent again
the class is Silent but we are not, love the new A20 run
That thumbnail image haunts my nightmares
This top is unceasing
Me farming The Countess on D2 for the 500th time.
Hockey banter? We are SO back.
Predicting now that NL doesn't realize Well Laid Plans is a top 5 Silent card until like A15.
I hope nl keeps thinking of dash as an attack card. That might trick him into taking block
Enjoying slaying the spire? Reharden your spire, you're gonna love these next 400 episodes of The Silent
Im not catalyzed but I seem to be struck by this sick StS run
15:00 this formula is (N*(N+1))/2 btw
Edit:
You know what this run really could have benefited from? One of the 5 acrobatics that were passed up. Would have really hit the spot on some of those dead turns.
Cant wait for him to spend 50 videos on A20 because he has a 66% chance of having to fight time keeper as the silent
