      @ It's just as it sounds I think. If you have a unit that procs an ability on slay( when they attack and kill something). That same ability will go off if you give that unit spikes and the enemy attacks and dies to the spike buff.
      It really can help the horn breaker prince when you go down the path that gives him armor on slay and partner with the awoken to give spikes. It's kind of a two for one since you are getting his revenge trigger for rage from the enemy's attack and the armor if they manage to kill themselves on that same attack before you even take your turn.
      Sorry if this was a bit long winded but I hope it helps you have more fun with the game and push past your block.

    NL, I feel like you did really well on your second run, here.
    When making the decision whether or not to turn on the last trial (for 400 gold), it helps to ask A) Will the Trial definitely kill you? And if not B) Will my deck as-is die to Seraph?
    If the answer is MAYBE die on the trial, but almost certainly your deck as-is dies to Seraph, take the trial, and hope to survive and use the gold to increase your chances against Seraph.
    I think you should have turned the trial on, but it wasn't a no-brainer, so I can't really claim you misplayed by leaving it off.

    • @Menos510

    Daily Monster Train advice nobody asked for (Day 4):
    Incant floors do best when you actually incant a lot on them, obviously. So playing spells that don't care on which floor they are played (i.e. Channelsong, Preserve and Invigorating Solution) on the incant floor is actually optimal. Furthermore, you want to be able to cast loads of spells. That can only be achieved by having enough Ember and enough draw. You can make spells cheaper but you still have to draw into them. Also draw allows you to cycle through your deck faster to get to your already played spells faster and thus having even more incants. That's why it's usually advisable to take draw rather than capacity or Ember when playing with incants. Bonus fact: Sting spells synergise very well with Incant-floors because they give you an easy incant but also lead to more draw on the next turn which lead to more incants and so forth.
    Stay tundes and have fun playing!

    I cannot believe that it's 56 episodes already and I ACTUALLY WATCHED ALL OF THEM AND STILL WANT MORE!! Hahaha :D
    Here are 3 quick tips :
    1 Put your support units (incant 0 attack etc) IN FRONT of the your damage units - in relentless this can often mean you get 1 more hit (which did not matter this time...)
    2 Respect the +1 draw a bit more, +1 draw is roughly the equivalent of 6 REMOVALS (e.g. 30 card deck 5 draw, vs 36 card deck 6 draw)
    3 Removing bad spells early is worth more than removing your Train Stewards as the have "consume" if you just put them down to die (or can even act as damage shield 1 consume if you have space)

    If there is one thing I wish NL would do more often it's wait on upgrading units at the beginning. You don't have to fill out upgrade slots immediately. Sometimes waiting for better upgrades is worth it. For example, the tank at the beginning of the second run. The largestone was amazing, but then you put spikes 4 on it, something that can be achieved on that unit with literally one ember. Then you put damage 10 on it when that unit could do much more damage by living longer (which could be achieved by waiting to give it HP+25). Nothing wrong with being patient sometimes.

    NL if you read this just a tip with the umbra cards which emberdrain you apply them on morsels so they are gorged at the end of the turn effectively removing the emberdrain

  • @SlavaRybka

    General tip - don't feel obligated to fill all 3 floors with units. Often it's better to concentrate everything on two floors (although rarely one). For an example - a floor with 1 offense unit and 2 tanks is better than a floor with an offense and a tank, and another with a tank and nothing else

    We should get a count going of how many times NL says "it is what it is" throughout this series. I think it's got to be at least 3 per episode, but it is what it is.

  • @cday0075
    @cday0075 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    NL, you were definitely figuring it out on your own at the end of the first run so nice job, but the main benefit of the architect champion is being able to make one single floor that’s better than 2 or 3 normal floors. You just don’t want to get stuck thinking you have to fill multiple floors because it’s how to play most of the time. Victory is coming!

    The spiked hollow was taking all the slay triggers from your sweep unit first run. It was getting beefed when it could slay all the small boys before.

    @Sawowner 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Health is more important than spike on your tank units, and yes this includes the thorn hollow. You don't have to keep every unit alive just because you can, sometimes it's worth losing a unit if you can make another floor much stronger

  • @Ghostneedle1
    @Ghostneedle1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Fel that applies scourges can be a trap into thinking your deck needs more energy when it actually doesn't because of the 2-cost scourges being an energy tax.

  • @TalixZen
    @TalixZen 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    8:06 Not only that but the Architect champion's ability is a summon ability so you'd get even more capacity. It is a pretty funny interaction IMO.

    Cool Tip: 29:45 you cant not get that unit in the first turn. Monster Train has a "hidden" mechanic which is preferred draw, meaning your picked units will be drawn in the first few turns of combat. Since you only have one picked unit you are guaranteed to draw it on the first hand ;)

    Generally you will want minions like mullosc mage to come *after* your spellweakness floor, NL. The 7 spellpower from mollusc mage get's multiplied too, so the card can be potentially many times more useful if you place it later.

    57:45 This mans really turned down Bramble Lash while having a Thorned Hollow, two Sharpens (One w/ doublestack), and a champ with spell weakness...
    Its damage is TEN TIMES the spikes.
    On the fight right before, you had one unit with 16 spikes and another with 18, that's 160-180 damage, stick it all on one unit and it's 340, 2 spell weakness and that's 1020 damage!

  • @Scarthcaroth
    @Scarthcaroth 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    NL spikes are basically another form of AoE for Awakened. By placing a spike unit and the slay trigger sweeper on the same floor you had your spikelord eat up all the potential triggers you could've gotten on it.
    In general you had three big AoE lords with the spiketank, the slay sweeper and the shadowgorger. That was overcomitting on deal with backline units and not dealing with any frontline tanky stuff.

    You keep forgetting about molluscmage, if you had it on your incant floor instead of the Armor totem, that’s an additional 7 per spell. With spell weakness, plus the relics you had, that was an enormous amount of damage you left on the table for 1 Armor per incant. The Armor would’ve benefited your frost tank so you could have focused more restores on spikes. Although at the end of the day you lost because of bad draw. Either way thank you for the video :)
