@intless93 I love this game so damn much. Defect does indeed looove calipers. It might be my favorite relic because every character can make us of it in some way. Had this watcher run that used things like TttH, mental fortress, and maybe a like water to gain entirely too much block.
What I find interesting about that removal at the beginning, I couldnt conceptualize until I was watching a Balatro run where they got the free reroll joker and explained it. Its actually worth whatever your last reroll, or in this case removal, would have been worth. So if you were to remove 4 times and the cost is, what, 150? Then its worth 150. Because instead of going 75, 100, 125, 150, it goes 0, 75, 100, 125. same set except you exchange the last for the 0. Just a bit of cool counterintuitive math there :P
And that's just the gold cost, not the opportunity (cost) - the removal both skips the costs associated with removing a card, on top of the opportunity to remove something in the first place.. because realistically, regardless of how much gold you get during the run, you can only visit so many shops. It's one of the reasons removal events are so valuable, it's often a lot less about the gold than the opportunity.
@@WLMinaro I didn't learn about opportunity cost until playing an online card game. Being able to do something early/when you want vs. later is HUGE, and it's a mostly invisible thing until you know enough about a game to realize what you're losing out on.
@Lucernam Yeah, opportunity costs are most obvious in roguelikes; where you usually deal with decisions that have long-term effects or consequences, but they're present in most games that involve tactical decision-making. Most players will come to understand it at a basic level, even if not everyone are able to conceptualise it. It's not required to deeply understand it for most games, although it will often be helpful.
This was easily one of my favourite Frost runs ever. Tragically bad rolls across the run, skipping claw and chat being super mad only for the astrolabe to hand him back the claw that ended up being a hero of the run. The drama of no HP in act 2. Calipers arriving just in time.. just a beautiful run altogether! Congrats on beating the run Frost, and good job chat on being right all along!
Awesome job Frost. This was a master performance of your skill, insight, and perseverance in this game and in your career. Thanks for having us along for the ride as you saw this through to the end, and I hope this goes getting your 1000+ average viewers short term goal and beyond. Andrew, thanks for all your hard work editing these videos, keeping up with all the card and relic info, the memes, and all while moving partway through the process. Your editing never missed a beat, and this channel could not possibly be as great without you. I hope you're getting settled in fine. Thank you both, best of luck in all your future endeavors. Claw is Law, and also, that claw took out Awakened One, Donu and Deka, and is now going to take out Frost's balls. o7 Balls_
This was the most hard carry, intensive, emotion enducing thing I ve ever seen. Amount of bad luck, pure skill and game knowledge used in this run deserves recognition.
Ever since i saw the second run with watcher marking the icons i was like "huh we didn't had any of the other videos with the icons, i wonder if this are the runs" I was right, but honestly this are such chaotic runs that i still doubted, gg wp, amazing challenge
I felt genuine pain when you picked rebound over claw. I hope you know how much that decision has affected me and so many others in your audience, "Frost."
White beast and calipers. Of course, that is if what he said about the pool is accurate; the relic pool of the shop is practically a different pool from the relic pool of relics outside the shop (but still randomized.) As such, the relics he would've gotten are lantern, calipers andcourier.
being from hungary im a full vod viewer (for 2years or so) ..just got my first a20heart kill at work ( ofc its a fckin claw deck without all for one) then seeing this .. thanks for all the fun frost and for teaching me this game , next time ill try to get on an actual stream and celebrate 🎉 stay hot , stay hooooolyyy maaaann
Andrew, thanks for adding 37 minutes of old Spelunky footage as anti-spoiler. Jk, I wonder how this is gonna wrap up. Frost and Andrew both, thanks for the content, I'm always looking forward to each new video.
Bro, it's fucking trippy trying to play SLS while watching frost play SLS cause the you have the music from both games being desynced. And having played the game enough that i sometimes hum the music it just really fucks with my brain
Frost, ive recently started streaming and want to stream STS but streamlabs blacks my screen whenever i go to play the game and the stream cannot see what im doing. Any tips?
holy hell congrats on the victory, imo calipers was the hard carry and claw the support you needed, but callipers is MVP. Very awesome that you did it !
Now he's just gotta do the Otz challenge on A25 (I barely had the skill to get through with each character separately after hours of runs). Sounds fun a reasonable peepoSmile
Great content. Wish you had a series where you went through your decision making in depth. Like make one run a week about that and start a video Playlist on TH-cam for it.
So it's over now but he had to win a run with every character in a row on A20 and kill the heart at least once. Sounds simple enough but it really wasn't. You could rewatch the previous attempts they're solid. Not anything specific just normal gameplay but it's frost he always makes it entertaining
❗SPOILER BLOCK❗
You are doing good work bro
❤ unironically worked
U a godsend
more spoiler buffer
Congratz Frost!!!!
Chat during defect runs are literally the aliens from toy story
"THE CLAAAWWWWWWW" - Frost's chat
Sucks that he lost right at the end there. The “5 gremlin nobs in a trench coat” fight is absolutely brutal.
Eh, pales in comparison to the The Honoured One, who dies and revives and says "it's honoring time"
Should have took the claw lol.
That one echo form carrying the entire run on it's back:
Don't forget callipers. That relic saved his ass
@@kkev2883unfortunately it couldn't save his balls
its* back.
@@randomguy-tg7ok that's amazing
@@destroidhak2556 What is, me being a grammar pedant? I know, right?
"stop typing minus however much health i lost, i am going to lose my god damn mind!"
me:"........... - mind".....
-balls
Despite his best attempts to throw the run by skipping claw and bing bong, the game decided it was his time to win, granting him claw off Astrolabe.
57:09
"Yeah I have NFTs, No Fucking Testicles"
DEAD
Thats the most x2 thing I've ever heard lmao
Okay but the fucking callipers saved this run so hard
calipers absolutely GOATed on this run
@@biggiemoisheand it was only there for like 7 fights
Calipers is THAT good, especially on Defect
@intless93 I love this game so damn much. Defect does indeed looove calipers. It might be my favorite relic because every character can make us of it in some way. Had this watcher run that used things like TttH, mental fortress, and maybe a like water to gain entirely too much block.
@@zay_jbIronclad absolutely loves it too because it lets you grab entrenches without barricade tax. And obviously defect goes crazy with footwork.
I have never heard Frost's chat be so angry all at once after you skipped claw lol
I almost closed the video right then and there. Hes lucky the god of the spire is merciful and quickly corrected his mistake.
@@Monjijii I love that the game FORCED claw on him
Loved when he said this wasn’t going to be a claw run, only for the game to tell him that it WILL be a claw run.
"You gonna play what I give you. AND YOU GONNA LIKE IT. BITCH"
-The game-
Good lord what an abysmal selection of relics this run
All saved by the best possible roll he could have gotten, Calipers... i respect that relic a lot more now
That bronze automaton fight literally had me jumping around and rolling on the floor from the tension
You're telling me I could've made him pick claw?? 😭Sorry friends. Edit: Nvm claw prevailed in the anyway.
Never forget the 2 other claws he could have taken. RIP to claaw 1 and Claw 3 you will be missed
15:22 HE GOT THE CLAW

Astrolabe is a real one for that.
Need a megavideo of all 4 runs together for this monumental acheivement. GG frost.
that claw off the astrolabe legitimately saved the entire run
especially against the automoton
If Frost wins with a claw build I won’t try and take his balls
This was easily one of my favourite Frost runs ever. Tragically bad rolls across the run, skipping claw and chat being super mad only for the astrolabe to hand him back the claw that ended up being a hero of the run. The drama of no HP in act 2.

Holy fuck what a run. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, I can't believe the stars aligned like that.
ALL OR NOTHING, THIS IS IT
I wonder if he can do this challenge with Downfall.
Or, Packmaster, removing each winning pack from the pool, until he has 4 wins.
56:21 is it just me or does his laugh sound like the jester's laugh in Disenchanted?
Hypest run I've seen in a while. What a great challenge this was.
Didn't realize this was also the, "I don't take any good Relics," challenge as well! Good stuff man
That late calipers was absolutely nuts. An amazing and tense run to end this challenge on, congratulations frost!
Ain't no laws when you're drinking the claw
I just discovered this channel, and have been watching an unhealthy amount of videos, and then you upload a legendary run. Great timing!
Oh man that astrolabe giving that claw saved the run literally
Ever since i saw the second run with watcher marking the icons i was like "huh we didn't had any of the other videos with the icons, i wonder if this are the runs"
I was right, but honestly this are such chaotic runs that i still doubted, gg wp, amazing challenge
The icons have been there the whole time lol
fyi they've been in all the vids
does this mean we get giga prismatic back?
echo form, calipers, claw, and boot absolutely carrying this run
Chat's ruthless... damn...
Started this challenge with balls, ended without
I laughed way too hard at the claw part in the beginning lmao.
That calipers was just an insane clutch
That was the most FrostP twitch chat at the end I’ve ever seen😂😂
I can't believe I've played STS for so long and never noticed the Nemesis looks like the Silence
holy pog. congratulations @Frostprime to completing this monster challenge!
I never laughed so hard from a TH-cam video than at that first boss relic lol
That one claw in the end was doing like + 40. If he took that other claw, the claw scaling would have made the last boss fights faster.
I felt genuine pain when you picked rebound over claw. I hope you know how much that decision has affected me and so many others in your audience, "Frost."
Had been around for awhile so I went back and watched every single video I missed up till this point, nice work and great content!
Thi sis one the most struggle runs I've ever seen, Godspeed, ball-less emperor.
Calipers saved a dozen of Frost`s nerve cells if not the entire run
So which relics would he have gotten from the bell. Blood vial, of course, but what were the next two?
White beast and calipers.
Of course, that is if what he said about the pool is accurate; the relic pool of the shop is practically a different pool from the relic pool of relics outside the shop (but still randomized.) As such, the relics he would've gotten are lantern, calipers andcourier.
i did a run using the seed and can confirm its lantern, courier and calipers that he would have got
being from hungary im a full vod viewer (for 2years or so) ..just got my first a20heart kill at work ( ofc its a fckin claw deck without all for one) then seeing this .. thanks for all the fun frost and for teaching me this game , next time ill try to get on an actual stream and celebrate 🎉 stay hot , stay hooooolyyy maaaann
when frost said "rip my balls" i felt it deep inside of me fr
The real claw is the friends we made along the way
Andrew, thanks for adding 37 minutes of old Spelunky footage as anti-spoiler. Jk, I wonder how this is gonna wrap up. Frost and Andrew both, thanks for the content, I'm always looking forward to each new video.
It was all a claw angle from the beginning
Bro, it's fucking trippy trying to play SLS while watching frost play SLS cause the you have the music from both games being desynced. And having played the game enough that i sometimes hum the music it just really fucks with my brain
is it just me or does the mic stand in the intro look cel shaded
Man that boot really came in clutch
When chat was yelling SCAM I remembered old times when I used to watch Amaz playing HS, and when frost called chat Amazes chat. I was dead xD
At the end of this challenge Frost has deal a total 14636643707 damage to the heart! Now that is a lot of damage!
Congratz!
your destiny is claw
The claw gang agenda shall not be denied
That's the craziest run ever
LETSGOOOOO
finally frost able to finish the challenge!
I almost worried that he will stuck in that hell loop haha
Congratz!
Now complete the giga prismatic :)
This feels like the end of an era.
Frost, ive recently started streaming and want to stream STS but streamlabs blacks my screen whenever i go to play the game and the stream cannot see what im doing. Any tips?
We are slaying the spyre with this one
Finally we can get back to the prismatic shard challenge
truly one of the moments of all time...
holy hell congrats on the victory, imo calipers was the hard carry and claw the support you needed, but callipers is MVP. Very awesome that you did it !
Hey, here from the playlist, may I request that you flip the playlist? Just doesn't make sense the finale is the first video.
Intro is correct, run is a hard buttclench from start to finish
calipers genuinely saved this run from the chopped ass deck and relics he rolled... insane
What if instead of Frost Prime his name was Freak Prime and instead of playing Slay the Spire he played Freak the Spire?
Alright, time to repeat this challenge but with a selection of your 4 favorite modded characters instead of the base game's four?
The suggested video: Claw Machine STATEGY GAME! 😂
I have never been so stressed watching a youtube video before.
So happy for you!
Now it’s time for the Frost Oddvesta challenge. Beat the heart with all characters in a row. New content farming incoming!!!!
It was extremely poggy woggy to be in the chat for these 3 runs 😍❤️
CLAAAAAAWWWW!!!!!
Congrats Frost 🎉
Congratulations my guy that was amazing
o7 balls
I remember how tense I was watching this run
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for Andrew for the absolutely amazing editing
There's no way
Now he's just gotta do the Otz challenge on A25 (I barely had the skill to get through with each character separately after hours of runs). Sounds fun a reasonable peepoSmile
Great content. Wish you had a series where you went through your decision making in depth. Like make one run a week about that and start a video Playlist on TH-cam for it.
Congratulation!!1! ... to all who remained cool headed and didn't skip to see the end of the video
Wait the balls thing was not a bit? Oh, I hope that went well
What a nervewracker to watch! gg
Witnessing history is crazy
Hey sorry I'm new here: what are the rules of the challenge?
So it's over now but he had to win a run with every character in a row on A20 and kill the heart at least once. Sounds simple enough but it really wasn't. You could rewatch the previous attempts they're solid. Not anything specific just normal gameplay but it's frost he always makes it entertaining
Now this is peak clawntent. Could’ve had more claw tho…
that run was INSANE
holy cow!
CLAW IS LAW
Ayy first time commentor, long time lurker. Gwarn frost, smashed it my guy. Congrats 😎😎😎
NO SPOILS BIG POG
