Hey everyone! Thanks for your continued support on these guides! In case you missed the Merchant's questions during the video, I'd love to hear your answers to: 1) Which Neow Blessing do you often take in the beginning of a run? 2) Which is your favorite "Niche Card" in the Silent's Kit? 3) Which Class Guide should we cover next?! AND let me know if you feel I missed anything important about The Silent or have any additional questions.
I'm pretty new to this game and just found your channel. I love playing the Silent, I got to Ascension 4 but now I'm really struggling to even reach Act 3. By watching your video, I already figured out some things I could do better! :) I'm often picking the niche cards you mentioned (my favorite being Envenom), but most of the time, I fail to build my deck around it so they're not as useful. So I'm excited to try out the cards you mentioned (mainly Corpse Explosion, haven't used it before) on my next run and try a different approach. Thank you for making this video! I'd love to see one on the Ironclad next.
Man dude, you need to come back and do guides for the other three characters, this video was soo well-made and informative, and it really helped me out as a beginner.
@@InaBeta Pog. I was looking through your channel for other character guides. Looking forward to them! I've hit a wall at ascension 7 with Ironclad and Silent, just can. not. Win an ascension 7 run - yet. Time to keep practicing!
Hi I know this is 3 years from the video but thank you for doing a break down. I have not played in awhile and all I see are 2 hour long playthroughs of a run labelled "Guide to Silent". I don't want to see your run, I want to see a breakdown and guide on how to play the class. You delivered! Thank you!
The two boons I take at the beginning are typically upgrade (bash)/(neutralize) or boss relic swap for ironclad/silent, and swap/max HP/gold for defect. Swap always on watcher. My favorite niche silent card is after image. Cover watcher next, it's so hard! Hope your awesome channel grows!
Immediately after watching this guide I launched up Slay the Spire for the first time in 9 months and beat the game with the silent on my first run. Overall very good and informative video!
I'm newly addicted to this game, so I was really happy to see your videos pop up. As others have said, your video editing and production quality is incredible. In terms of the content, the Silent is definitely my favorite character (though I appreciate each of their unique qualities, minus the fourth one, whom I'm not too keen about). My favorite silent niche card is A Thousand Cuts. Once upgraded and combined with the multiple shiv cards, it's incredible (especially against multiple enemies with lower HP, such as the dagger boss). Keep up the good work, and hope you have a good 2023!
I picked up Slay the Spire recently and the Silent is my favorite character. This video was very informative and helped me see more synergies in my builds. Thanks man! I hope you come back and make more videos :D
I just discovered this game and I love your content. I know you've moved on from your comments, but kuddos for making content that is still relevant 2 years later.
These guides are great! I won my first game with The Ironclad after I watched your "Ten things..." video. Oh and I always take the random boss relic from Neow. I like the gamble.
@@Kamo442 I am indeed not dead, but my time as a content creator is dead. No kids and we have no plans to have them, but I streamed and made different content for around 4 years and it just didn't work out, so I moved on. While these few videos were quite successful, the rest of what I was doing (which I really wanted to be successful) was not.
@@Kamo442 Yep, it's all that put together for me; I just don't have time or interest any longer for something that I wasn't getting all that much out of.
Thank you for this, subscribed! Took me 15 tries on A8 The Silent before I finally broke down and searched for tips. Your video helped me realize how much I was doing wrong especially not going for card draws to cycle through my deck faster and Footwork for block help. Got some big help from Apotheosis and Bullet Time also. On to A9 now (after Defect and Watcher A8).
Good video thanks. I find I can either go far or fail fast with the silent. Early deck choice is key and if you don't get a bit of luck, it's easy to fail
Just wanna say, in my very first run after watching this video (and the general tips one) and overall third one EVER I managed to win, thanks a lot! Altough having played a couple card games in my life I already knew some of these strategies, what really helped me was the confirmation that said strategies are still optimal in this game and knowing which cards are generally good (I made great use of Terror, Choke, Well-Laid Plan, Wraith Form and the two AoE Poison cards), also stumbling upon a random event that upgraded all cards in my deck and picking up a relic that automatically upgraded all Skills I picked up from there definitely had a big impact LOL Thanks again for the guide! The Silent is my favorite but I will now watch the other guides and play some runs with the other classes
Grats on that win! Having everything upgraded helps just about any run, and immensely. Glad you're enjoying the game and my guides; good luck in The Spire!
I'm more of an Ironclad guy what makes playing The Silent challenging. With your explainations I (at last) made it through next ascension. Thank you a lot!
We hope to get back to them as soon as we can! We're both busy adults with many important things to do, unfortunately. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for understanding!
I love the silent as well, have about 30 hours in but can never last long enough against the heart to finish the game. That 60 damage attack right after a rough boss fight always kills me. Looking forward to your guide. Though I’m not one to use recommended builds as I like to find synergies myself. I’ve tried so many times that I went looking for help and found your video! Thank you for making this
@@InaBeta ❤️ Now that I have finished your guide I just wanted to say: awesome job putting this together. It was engaging and concise, and also well produced. I hope that more Slayers find you soon.
Another great video! Your production value is off the chain! 1) I've been working harder on taking more boss swaps when the other blessings are lower powered. I used to always take the safer options but I feel with Silent I can often boss swap the relic with good to great results. 2) Niche card for Silent? Dash is almost always an insta-pick for me. Maybe not niche but a great chonky block and attack that is often overlooked. Another is choke. I used to skip over this card before but with excellent shiv synergy it's a no-brainer with just a Blade dance or a single cloak and dagger. 3) Whatever you prefer. I've really enjoyed the last two videos you have pushed out so surprise us! I know you prefer Silent and Chad, so maybe an Ironclad should be next?
I know you haven’t posted videos in a while, but hope you read this. You videos have helped me to be a much better player. I just beat the heart on A4 without taking any damage! I’ll be up to A20 in no time with your tips! Thank you
Haven't been able to post in a while, true, but I'll always have time to say THANKS and CONGRATS and that I'm SO HAPPY when people come away from these guides as a better Spire Slayer! A20 better get ready for you!
@@bruh-tl6mz and? I'm sure alot of people are picking the game up and playing it. I got a friend who adores the game and been playing for a while so this was a good time 🤣
No joke, but I watched this video yesterday and after 4 attempts I killed the heart with the silent for the first time, I had some notions of this game but this guide really took me to the next level
I JUST noticed that The Specimen is a reference to Caiman from Dorohedoro... reminding me why StS is still one of my favorite games that I still play regularly. Solid video btw.
Awesome bro I love it, hope you make more!!!! Tip: if you add a "0:00 - introduction" to your description, all of those timestamps you have will automatically convert to TH-cam chapters!!! I dabble in slay the spire content too, I just gotta say I'm absolutely baffled by your editing skills!!! Can I ask what program you're using? Did you have prior experience with video editing or are you just a natural haha
The editor I work with has handled all of the video editing, which is great since I have not the skill nor the desire to learn at this time! He is credited in the details.
This was great! As a new player this is the type of detailed information I need. I hope to see a guide on the Defect at some point! He's my favorite class.
Silent might not be my favourite character but goddamn poison builds are a blast to do once in a while. Thanks for the tips! As I struggle a bit with most elites
Watched this video, then went to watch your defect black star run! Would love to see a defect guide next, best and most well rounded content on the game by far!
Have been eying this game for some while since I tested it long back. Started recently and just found your channel. Awesome videos man :) Hopefully I'll be able to watch the stream some time
Been having trouble playing Slay the Spire and looking at guides to tell me what cards to pick when I don't have them available didn't help. These guides are helping me in other ways though. Thanks!
Perfect timing, so happy to be apart of your channel! I’ve been playing since it was added to gamepass and have been looking at this title since it’s release on switch! Thanks for the awesome content!
Came back to rewatch this video. Completely forgot I had this & just started playing Slay the Spire again. I think the Silent is my favorite one to play with. I almost beat the boss for Tower 3 but didn’t have enough artifacts and/or defensive cards. I also tried to avoid all the mini bosses which ended up shooting my self in the foot because of the strong monsters I encountered on Tower 3 leading up to the final boss. I now know not to do that unless I really need to skip them.
Thanks, E5 and I work hard on it for sure, so I know we both appreciate it! I find myself taking that boss relic most times too, but it's so nice to hang on to the Ring of the Snake for later too though!
I really hope you do a guide on the watcher. I’m relatively new to the game and find that the watcher is one of the harder characters to understand. Great video hope you can upload more frequently in the future.
Hiya! I’m back to report my first win, sadly not on the silent, but rather the Ironclad! Thanks a lot for the advice inabeta, I really appreciate the awesome videos and look forward to many more!
Hey Ina! I think storm of steel is an amazing card! I used it heavily to help me win my first ever "true ending" with the silent. It combos great with the wrist-blade relic as well as the ninja scroll and the power card after image. Don't sleep on it!
Thank you for this, The Silent is my second favorite character and I'm looking forward to actually beating the 3rd boss and completing a run with her, I got a good deck but I happened to run into the Time Eater 😔 I'm sure this video will help me out, your basic tips video helped me get that far in that run by giving me an idea of how to optimize the deck by not taking a card every chance I got. What I really need a video for is Ironclad though, even though I've played just as much with him as I have Silent and Defect, I still have never ended up with a good deck for him. I always end up just barely hanging on for the entire run, I need some real help with him.....
@@InaBeta Thank you for making these videos! I found some guides, but I think I learn a lot better when I'm listening to someone instead of just reading words on a screen, your videos help a lot!
Just wanna say that this video was very well-made and edited I'd rlly enjoy if you'd do guides for the other classes maybe even some modded ones, definetly subbing
Just started watching your content as I've begun playing slay the spire more frequently. Noticed you don't upload or stream anymore, I hope you're doing okay! Would love to see more content from you, everything is so well made!
Yep, doing just fine here, just moved on to other things! Making content just wasn't working out the way that I wanted it to, so I've focused on a career instead; landed a job as a data analyst and am loving it so far! Thanks for understanding, sorry we didn't meet sooner and good luck in The Spire!
@@InaBeta I'm happy to hear you're doing okay! I completely understand, I'm working on getting a degree in CyberSecurity at the moment so I'm having to put a lot of stuff on the back burner.
I might be late on the ride because of the game being free last month, but thank you so much for the guide! I just completed my first run with Ironclad, and I’d figure on focusing with her now that I “completed” the class. Thanks again!
This is a very good video and im really disappointed its the only one so far. I checked for other guides for the rest of the characters but I couldnt find anything watchable. I hope you come back with other guides like this one.
i thought i could just pick up slay the spire and yolo through the game. turns out thats not exactly the case so thanks for the help. its a very well done video, looking forward to more!
Awesome video Inabeta! I always preferred the defect, but in the last few runs started to love the silent even more! I think I would need a watcher guide, cant even beat the game with her, I simply cant understand how to play her decks.
I typically play a build heavily centered around spamming shivs. Never once gave a thought to putting envenom in there. Sounds absolutely ridiculous since I average 6 shivs per turn. Thanks man!
Reached the spire for the first time with Silent after watching this, thank you...used the max HP explosion, replication card + triple poison to give one of the final bosses 999 poison, which killed the other one without me ever attacking it 😂
I bought this game two days ago and can't stop playing. Spent half the day at work today playing. I've been able to get two wins on the Defect, but have failed at least 10 times each on Ironclad and Silent. Two games after watching this, I beat the tower on Silent. I would ♥ to hear what you have to say about Ironclad!
Goal achieved then! We set out to make "evergreen" videos when we made these, so I'm glad to hear that it actually worked out that way. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, been looking for a guide on the silent for a while. Been struggling to ascend with this character. Although I love to know whats some of the best synergy cards is for this character. For my games the poison and shiv cards barely work well together without relic help. So usually I aim at start to focus on one of those. Problem being the game can be very curve ball with RNG. Often times find I have to adopt both poison and shiv due to crazy RNG.
Yep, you've pretty much got it. Poison cards and Shiv cards generally all synergize together and relics aren't necessary but certainly help. Some mix and match of poison and shiv (IE envenom with shivs) can sometimes help shore up damage problems that happen due to RNG in your card offers.
1.) I usually want to choose a rare card to take or a rare relic, mostly because I feel good cards make the most immediate impact on the first map. 2.) A Thousand Cuts is pretty fun with shivs, especially if you have after image and many other potential buffs to this strat. 3.) Instead of a class guide, or maybe in addition too, I would like to see guides on getting some of the achievements. Like, kill the transient before it fades, or gain 25 focus in one combat. Whats the best way to build decks that will accomplish these various challenges?
Getting something impactful going right away is essential for most runs and it also kind of sets the tone for the deck; let's you know what you'll take and won't take in coming floors for sure.
Just got my first victory with The Silent 😎 Poison is insanely potent. Won my first try after unlocking the first 3 cards. "Nightmare" card is really good too, made 3 copies of Catalyst+ so tripled poison damage 3 times. Also great with "Terror" so you can apply 300 Vulnerable. Just melted the final boss.
Just for future reference, copying terror usually isn't useful except in very specific situations because of how vulnerable works. When you stack it you only increase the duration, not how much damage an enemy takes. Terror makes an enemy vulnerable for 99 turns which is effectively an entire fight, so stacking it on the same guy doesn't really give you any benefit. It could still be useful in aoe fights or against some bosses who remove their debuffs at specific HP thresholds. That said there are usually stronger cards to use nightmare on (catalyst for poison, accuracy for shivs, wraith form if you don't want to do math, etc)
Really needed this, I seem to suck at using the Silent. No completed campaigns yet. Had a good run earlier but I got cocky with an elite and unlucky with my cards. Guess I just haven't gotten good enough block cards or that dexterity. Had plenty of shiv related cards but nothing to actually help use them all with the lacking energy. Maybe my issue is that I get too many cards-
Boss swap might not always be the most optimal, but I think it is the most interesting. It can also point you to a clear direction from the start. To a lesser extent, this applies to random rare card as well. My favorite niche card is so niche you didn't even mention it: grand finale :) I don't usually even consider it if I don't have runic pyramid. Would love to hear tips on the defect. Interesting class, but one I struggle with
@@InaBeta Really sad to see that you uploaded no more vids after. :( Was hoping to see similar videos on other characters. These vids got lots of views.
I'm a big fan of the Ironclad for more than just thematic reasons. Early on in the beta I made it all the way to the end, before the heart really existed. 1) The blessing that gives the next three combats 1 hp 2) Accuracy, because I really like Shiv builds 3) I'd say the Watcher because I've never even played her yet. I'm trying to get the elusive heart kill post-beta on the Silent so I'll have it on the core three first before starting Watcher
The silent is now my favourite character but haven't beaten the spire once with her yet 😢 gna try utilise these tips and try again. I think i need to understand the synergy thing better and it's just so hard rejecting /getting rid of cards but it does make sense to do so.
Just bought the game and did a barricade body slam run with Ironclad and ripped through, went to play The Silent and got consistently pooped on. I'm gonna be giving her another (few) tries once I get home. Thanks for the awesome guide.
@@InaBeta Man ngl the combo luck was terrible but I finally slayed the spire with silent due to your recommended cards. You definitely got a sub from me. Keep smashing the content bro.
One other favourite card of mine (but only in very card spamm-y builds) is After Image upgrades, maybe one other not upgraded. Also feels great with thousand cuts!
I've made the mistake of not accounting for something and taking damage I didn't need to often enough that it became second nature to just play the block regardless. It doesn't hurt to be extra sure in this game.
Just got this game for free, it's quite impressive, I can make it to act 3 but never beat the 3rd boss, it's literally insane. How do you beat the game on standard? It's driving me insane!!! lol
Gotta build a better deck. Each time through the Spire gives you a little more insight, a little more experience, and a little better idea of what works and what you shouldn't take.
@@InaBeta Im happy to report that I have finally beat the spire with the silent! I would've gave up but your guide was so helpful. Your content is great! Keep up the good work
Is this video still up-to-date or is there information here that is obsolete? If so, could you make some updated guides please? I'm just getting into this game and I'd like to learn as much as possible.

Glad you enjoyed! I hope my power is back on soon so I can stream again! I've missed it the last couple nights...
This is a very well structured video, and well edited. Great Job.
Thanks!
Been having trouble playing Slay the Spire and looking at guides to tell me what cards to pick when I don't have them available didn't help. These guides are helping me in other ways though. Thanks!
Glad you're finding them helpful!
Perfect timing, so happy to be apart of your channel! I’ve been playing since it was added to gamepass and have been looking at this title since it’s release on switch! Thanks for the awesome content!
Glad you're enjoying the videos and the game so far!
Just started playing this game and it’s so much fun bro! Thanks for the guides👍
Glad you're enjoying; you're gonna get sucked in! Good luck in the Spire!
@@InaBeta thank you 🙏 !
Came back to rewatch this video. Completely forgot I had this & just started playing Slay the Spire again. I think the Silent is my favorite one to play with. I almost beat the boss for Tower 3 but didn’t have enough artifacts and/or defensive cards.
I also tried to avoid all the mini bosses which ended up shooting my self in the foot because of the strong monsters I encountered on Tower 3 leading up to the final boss. I now know not to do that unless I really need to skip them.
Sounds like you're all ready for success on your next run!
Super high quality report. Enjoyed listening to you pontificate on my favorite class.
I just call them "Green."
Green Gorl is definitely best class, imo!
@@InaBeta Calculated Gamble+ is the absolute most Spire Slayingest, thrilling game piece to wield.
Cheers m8.
@@danielbakergill I always loved seeing Wraith synergies work out, personally.
You have such a high quality channel!! Thanks for the content! I often take boss relic, just because it can really spice up the run.
Thanks, E5 and I work hard on it for sure, so I know we both appreciate it! I find myself taking that boss relic most times too, but it's so nice to hang on to the Ring of the Snake for later too though!
I really hope you do a guide on the watcher. I’m relatively new to the game and find that the watcher is one of the harder characters to understand. Great video hope you can upload more frequently in the future.
We definitely nope to upload more as soon as we can :) Thanks for understanding.
Hiya! I’m back to report my first win, sadly not on the silent, but rather the Ironclad! Thanks a lot for the advice inabeta, I really appreciate the awesome videos and look forward to many more!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
just discovered this channel, keep putting out this level of content and youre not far from a million subs. good stuff
Yep, we hope to have more up as soon as possible!
Hey Ina! I think storm of steel is an amazing card! I used it heavily to help me win my first ever "true ending" with the silent. It combos great with the wrist-blade relic as well as the ninja scroll and the power card after image. Don't sleep on it!
Thank you for this, The Silent is my second favorite character and I'm looking forward to actually beating the 3rd boss and completing a run with her, I got a good deck but I happened to run into the Time Eater 😔
I'm sure this video will help me out, your basic tips video helped me get that far in that run by giving me an idea of how to optimize the deck by not taking a card every chance I got.
What I really need a video for is Ironclad though, even though I've played just as much with him as I have Silent and Defect, I still have never ended up with a good deck for him. I always end up just barely hanging on for the entire run, I need some real help with him.....
We're going to get to videos for the other characters just as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience!
@@InaBeta Thank you for making these videos! I found some guides, but I think I learn a lot better when I'm listening to someone instead of just reading words on a screen, your videos help a lot!
@@goodolnonamee I'm so glad you appreciate them!
Just wanna say that this video was very well-made and edited I'd rlly enjoy if you'd do guides for the other classes maybe even some modded ones, definetly subbing
Definitely going to be making more videos for each of the classes in the future!
Great video! Love the guide, waiting for the other characters impatiently! :D
Getting to them just as soon as we can!
Just started watching your content as I've begun playing slay the spire more frequently. Noticed you don't upload or stream anymore, I hope you're doing okay! Would love to see more content from you, everything is so well made!
Yep, doing just fine here, just moved on to other things! Making content just wasn't working out the way that I wanted it to, so I've focused on a career instead; landed a job as a data analyst and am loving it so far!
Thanks for understanding, sorry we didn't meet sooner and good luck in The Spire!
@@InaBeta I'm happy to hear you're doing okay! I completely understand, I'm working on getting a degree in CyberSecurity at the moment so I'm having to put a lot of stuff on the back burner.
@@cydnivinton8939 Hope it works out for you and you get what you want in life! Even if it's different from what you think you want right now :)
I might be late on the ride because of the game being free last month, but thank you so much for the guide! I just completed my first run with Ironclad, and I’d figure on focusing with her now that I “completed” the class. Thanks again!
Glad you're enjoying and good luck on your Silent run(s)!
Great guide, short, detailed on card roles and with good examples, subbed
That's the kind of guides we're going for!
This is a very good video and im really disappointed its the only one so far. I checked for other guides for the rest of the characters but I couldnt find anything watchable. I hope you come back with other guides like this one.
Sorry the rest of our content is "watchable" for you. We hope to come out with more guides as soon as we're both available as well
@@InaBeta lol i meant guides from other channels.
I have gotten really into STS and I love your guides you get my sub
Glad to hear you're loving StS so far! Thanks for watching!
Very well edited and made video. Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks so much!
wow this should have way more views, high quality video and very informative!
Glad you enjoyed!
i thought i could just pick up slay the spire and yolo through the game. turns out thats not exactly the case so thanks for the help. its a very well done video, looking forward to more!
Yeah, definitely NOT the case lol. Every run is it's own set of challenges and considerations. Glad it helped!
My love for Silent is second only to Watcher. Hope you make a guide for Watcher!
I don't really play Watcher, but perhaps one day!
Bro I love this video. Your channel is very interesting ❤
Awesome video Inabeta! I always preferred the defect, but in the last few runs started to love the silent even more! I think I would need a watcher guide, cant even beat the game with her, I simply cant understand how to play her decks.
I wish I was better with the Defect! It's so tough!
I typically play a build heavily centered around spamming shivs. Never once gave a thought to putting envenom in there. Sounds absolutely ridiculous since I average 6 shivs per turn. Thanks man!
It's pretty nifty if you can line it up!
Reached the spire for the first time with Silent after watching this, thank you...used the max HP explosion, replication card + triple poison to give one of the final bosses 999 poison, which killed the other one without me ever attacking it 😂
Hey, congrats! Thanks for watching, and I hope you have many more successes in the Spire!
I'm not big into watching live but would love to see more of your content. Would you consider doing more uploads?
I bought this game two days ago and can't stop playing. Spent half the day at work today playing. I've been able to get two wins on the Defect, but have failed at least 10 times each on Ironclad and Silent.
Two games after watching this, I beat the tower on Silent. I would ♥ to hear what you have to say about Ironclad!
Wow, lucky you getting to play while you're at work! I'm not making new videos at this time, unfortunately. Good luck in the Spire!
@@InaBeta Thanks! :)
My favourite niche card is probably finale, as the amount of damage you can do with it using a shiv deck is wild.
This video might be 3 years old but it still plays today poison build is my favorite
Goal achieved then! We set out to make "evergreen" videos when we made these, so I'm glad to hear that it actually worked out that way. Thanks for watching!
@@InaBeta absolutely!!
Also but I just learned today they have a second one coming next year
@@gagethompson8943 They sure as heck do and I'm already here for it!
Thanks, been looking for a guide on the silent for a while. Been struggling to ascend with this character. Although I love to know whats some of the best synergy cards is for this character. For my games the poison and shiv cards barely work well together without relic help. So usually I aim at start to focus on one of those. Problem being the game can be very curve ball with RNG. Often times find I have to adopt both poison and shiv due to crazy RNG.
Yep, you've pretty much got it. Poison cards and Shiv cards generally all synergize together and relics aren't necessary but certainly help. Some mix and match of poison and shiv (IE envenom with shivs) can sometimes help shore up damage problems that happen due to RNG in your card offers.
1.) I usually want to choose a rare card to take or a rare relic, mostly because I feel good cards make the most immediate impact on the first map.
2.) A Thousand Cuts is pretty fun with shivs, especially if you have after image and many other potential buffs to this strat.
3.) Instead of a class guide, or maybe in addition too, I would like to see guides on getting some of the achievements. Like, kill the transient before it fades, or gain 25 focus in one combat. Whats the best way to build decks that will accomplish these various challenges?
Getting something impactful going right away is essential for most runs and it also kind of sets the tone for the deck; let's you know what you'll take and won't take in coming floors for sure.
Nice vid. Great for the kids. Greetings from Norway ;)
Glad you liked it and hope it helps!
Love the content!! Would be so cool if you did a series for each race. Just found this game and loving it.
Would love to see the other guides soon :)
We're working on them!
great rundown of the silent
Thanks!
Just got my first victory with The Silent 😎 Poison is insanely potent. Won my first try after unlocking the first 3 cards.
"Nightmare" card is really good too, made 3 copies of Catalyst+ so tripled poison damage 3 times. Also great with "Terror" so you can apply 300 Vulnerable. Just melted the final boss.
Congrats!
Just for future reference, copying terror usually isn't useful except in very specific situations because of how vulnerable works.
When you stack it you only increase the duration, not how much damage an enemy takes. Terror makes an enemy vulnerable for 99 turns which is effectively an entire fight, so stacking it on the same guy doesn't really give you any benefit. It could still be useful in aoe fights or against some bosses who remove their debuffs at specific HP thresholds. That said there are usually stronger cards to use nightmare on (catalyst for poison, accuracy for shivs, wraith form if you don't want to do math, etc)
Beautiful guide!!
Thanks a bunch! Hope it helped!
Just found your content and I love it. I would love a watcher guide!
Maybe one day!
Really high quality vid, nice job! I would like to see Ironclad next :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Aye I was 1 thousandth sub!!
HYPE!
Really needed this, I seem to suck at using the Silent. No completed campaigns yet. Had a good run earlier but I got cocky with an elite and unlucky with my cards. Guess I just haven't gotten good enough block cards or that dexterity. Had plenty of shiv related cards but nothing to actually help use them all with the lacking energy.
Maybe my issue is that I get too many cards-
really informative guide. thank you for this!
Thanks for watching; hope to have more out soon!
This guide is so awesome!
Glad you loved it!
Such a helpful video, thank you!! Corpse Explosion ftw
Glad you enjoyed!
Boss swap might not always be the most optimal, but I think it is the most interesting. It can also point you to a clear direction from the start. To a lesser extent, this applies to random rare card as well.
My favorite niche card is so niche you didn't even mention it: grand finale :) I don't usually even consider it if I don't have runic pyramid.
Would love to hear tips on the defect. Interesting class, but one I struggle with
I love it when Grand Finale comes together, but man is it hard to set up. Worth it when you can though!
Really well made vid. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!
@@InaBeta Really sad to see that you uploaded no more vids after. :( Was hoping to see similar videos on other characters. These vids got lots of views.
@@SuperYtc1Yeah did these at the end of my streaming "career"; unfortunate that we didn't get around to it sooner!
I'm a big fan of the Ironclad for more than just thematic reasons. Early on in the beta I made it all the way to the end, before the heart really existed.
1) The blessing that gives the next three combats 1 hp
2) Accuracy, because I really like Shiv builds
3) I'd say the Watcher because I've never even played her yet. I'm trying to get the elusive heart kill post-beta on the Silent so I'll have it on the core three first before starting Watcher
Love going for that elite snipe and when Accuracy works out too!
You helped me a lot thx I hope you do this to another characters
We're getting there!
The silent is now my favourite character but haven't beaten the spire once with her yet 😢 gna try utilise these tips and try again. I think i need to understand the synergy thing better and it's just so hard rejecting /getting rid of cards but it does make sense to do so.
Yep, knowing what to say no to or ditch when you have the chance is a huge part of this game!
I did the shiv pach build omg it does so much damage playing like 50 cards in a turn I almost beat the heart my first time getting to it
By far the best class!
Can you do thid kind of video too with mod classes?
Just bought the game and did a barricade body slam run with Ironclad and ripped through, went to play The Silent and got consistently pooped on. I'm gonna be giving her another (few) tries once I get home. Thanks for the awesome guide.
Glad you enjoyed! That first win is coming!
@@InaBeta Man ngl the combo luck was terrible but I finally slayed the spire with silent due to your recommended cards. You definitely got a sub from me. Keep smashing the content bro.
One other favourite card of mine (but only in very card spamm-y builds) is After Image upgrades, maybe one other not upgraded. Also feels great with thousand cuts!
My After Image run I have posted was one of my favorites ever!
You should do a guide like this for the watcher. I feel like I just dont understand their kit.
One day we will!
Your vids are great I wish you uploaded again
Yeah, me too. Just not in the cards, unfortunately. Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad it helped!
Nice tips. Are you planning guides for the other characters? Just picked up the game, cant seem to make a cohesive build lol
Yes! They'll be out just as soon as we can make them!
Doooope
@@ryu-ken Glad you liked it!
You deserve way more subss
Thanks for saying so! We worked really hard on these :)
7:42 I didn't understand why you need to put block in place before clicking end button. The enemy does not get to attack, if the poison kills it.
I've made the mistake of not accounting for something and taking damage I didn't need to often enough that it became second nature to just play the block regardless. It doesn't hurt to be extra sure in this game.
My fave play style is shiv/poison. You need that power card that adds poison for every unblocked attack, and a shit ton of shivs
I play Silent like the spire is Londan, packing alot of shivs
Thanks for the help !
Glad to help, good luck in the Spire!
Just got this game for free, it's quite impressive, I can make it to act 3 but never beat the 3rd boss, it's literally insane. How do you beat the game on standard? It's driving me insane!!! lol
Gotta build a better deck. Each time through the Spire gives you a little more insight, a little more experience, and a little better idea of what works and what you shouldn't take.
@@InaBeta Dude your awesome! I really like your videos, keep on keeping on & I'll let you know how it goes for me trying to Slay the Spire! 🤙
Ive been getting my ass handed to me on a gold platter for the 6.5 hours I've been playing the game. This helped me so much thank you 🎉
Hell yeah, glad to hear it! I hope you've gotten many wins since then!
@@InaBeta Im happy to report that I have finally beat the spire with the silent! I would've gave up but your guide was so helpful. Your content is great! Keep up the good work
@@MikoTishh Heck yes you did! So glad to hear it and good on ya.
Great guide 👍
Thanks!
Is this video still up-to-date or is there information here that is obsolete? If so, could you make some updated guides please? I'm just getting into this game and I'd like to learn as much as possible.
