1:54 Me when i read a goated TH-cam comment with a timestamp that takes NL’s stream of consciousness out of context and references it to a very peculiar scenario
Still didn't take that biased cog going into act 2 when he needed a serious solution to his blocking and upfront dmg issues for hallway fights, and instead opted for echo form which actually just exacerbated the issue, but definitely lots of improvement
He still makes procedural mistakes during his turn all the time but his overall decision making seems to have come a long way in a short time. n.b. I am way, way worse at the decision making in sts.
NL really gaslit himself into taking the bites thinking he has no block. The egg had like 2/3 glaciers with focus, charge battery, dual cast, and chill.
Maybe I'm just a Loop kinda guy, but man it hurts that he never takes Loop. Free damage or free block at the start of your turn is so strong, especially when you double it up and have Electrodynamics.
@@LiteratiMuffin The first one I was like "Okay, it's unupgraded, whatevs", the upgraded one off dreamcatcher hurt me immensely haha. Loop and Defrag are so insane when you are going for a Echo Form build that can turn that upgrade from a 2 to a 4.
Me personally I would've done the energy relic that reduced card choices. He already had a 22 card deck. Isn't that relic one of the best ones outside of the anti potion one?
@@paoracampbell3127 yeah i used to think sozu was good, i was just bad at remembering to use potions, the more time you spend gitting gud the worse sozu becomes
these are always the most fun, and i've had a lot of these in the past. literally just, random bullshit and carried because we're scraping by elite after elite. I love the defect
he slay the spire, we pog. he slay the spire, we pog. man that was a hell of a run! I can't believe it made it all the way! Props to you for making it work
Melter is better than Claw in act one if you assume you're not going to find a second one. Also, because of ascenders bane, unceasing top is much worse past ascension 10. Having said that I dont think NL thought his first two runs through. I dont knock it though, playing fast and going for elites and then just doing a bunch of runs until one sticks is a fun way to play slay the spire.
Youre playing impressively well recently. I think you're right the first run involved a lot of bad luck. Taking the bites at that point was a critical error though which basically guaranteed a loss against the collector. Against the collector your deck needs to be able to put up large block numbers every single turn, stuffing your deck with 5 bites which all essentially just say "block 2" diluted your deck's blocking capabilities too much. I think you were probably dying anyway. But your potential route to victory was playing multiple echo forms, defrags and leaning on frost orbs while lightning slowly got the kill.
As someone who just picked up the game (65 hours is YOUNG) it disheartens me to learn that the way i play is the one run that Ryan says “absolutely should not have worked” and “don’t learn anything from this” lmao
Hey NL, loving the spire content! If I may, consider hand of greed some more. It’s a great dmg card for 2 energy and gets even better when upgraded. Especially if you can pick it up early it can accumulate tons of gold
obvi a lot of good relics (black star goated), but I genuinely think bottled lightning for seek made that last run work. with a big ass deck like that, the guarantee of getting your most relevant cards early is huge
20:00 doubling Core Surge was a mistake, he'd already done his debuff turn, so those artifacts are pointless. You'd have lived if you'd doubled a glacier.

Ur kinda Loopy for it huh
It was so painful to see happen…If only he read the comments 😩
And to say it’s to keep the deck lean only to take 5 bites….I’m dying here lol

Honey, wake up, new slay the spire video has dropped.
36:01 Black star is a fine pick but sacred bark wouldve been very strong since you had a relic that guarantees potions after every combat
Me personally I would've done the energy relic that reduced card choices. He already had a 22 card deck. Isn't that relic one of the best ones outside of the anti potion one?
@@agentkirbBusted Crown is among the worst boss relics and Sozu (Anti-potion) is not much better

I like the bit at the end where you review your deck and the run. Kind of reminds me of when you would do the game review after a chess match
Holy cow i thought that run was going to be over at any moment. Cant believe he made it.
Thx for the 1h 14min and 58sec video, much appreciated

Jam enough relics into your run and amazing things can happen.
21:29 Isn't claw deck amazing with unceasing top ? why skip it for a melter?
claw decks are bad
Melter is better than Claw in act one if you assume you're not going to find a second one. Also, because of ascenders bane, unceasing top is much worse past ascension 10.
Having said that I dont think NL thought his first two runs through. I dont knock it though, playing fast and going for elites and then just doing a bunch of runs until one sticks is a fun way to play slay the spire.
Claw is not a good card.

That last run was genuinely impressive. It was so ass, but he persevered, and got the highest score of the ascent so far I believe.

Not doubling Bite actually lost him the collector fight.
