Absolutely cursed play at 6:08
Andrew McReynolds my god the mans losing his mind
Andrew McReynolds I had to rewind just to check if it was me having the stroke or NL
I'm dead.
Could have 8 damage + 2 shock + 3 shield
Instead deals 3 damage + 1 shock + 3 shield
I think I want to shoot myself in the taint with a crossbow after witnessing this
6:08 This is the Dicey Dungeons equivalent of Pot Play. I can't even
6:08 Let this be known as the Nudge Play. Godspeed.
Nudge: is actually a great Witch spell if used correctly
NL: 6:08
6:08 Dice play. The pot play would be proud.
"It's free damage but it's expensive"
- NL 2019
In case anyone else(other than NL) is wondering why the AI doesn't use the rerolled dice sometimes, is because the AI is programmed to use the next certain piece of equipment in line, and if it's shocked with only one dice, the AI believes it's options to be limited, kinda like NL sometimes lol
6:08
Pot Play: “Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be Legendary!”
I have a lot of respect for NL's new "zero damage" meta.
New meta same as the old meta.
Wow this was awful, he exclusivly used golden Cauldron when he had one damage option on an odd and got rid of his best way of fixing dice.
16.30 once he gets gold cauldron completely forgets that he needs to use threes to get more electric shocked no one to blame but himself
My poor sneezy, look what they've done to my boy
They made him hard counter freeze builds now though.
@@voradorked I sort of liked that he was countered by freeze. It sort of makes sense thematically that the sick character would be susceptible to the cold. I like both Sneezys though tbh.
@@GeneralShyGuy7 Tbf, now he sneezes more whhen it is cold. Also makes sense.
6:08 is bad, but somehow the play at 25:05 hurts even more
14:04 duplicates 5 cuz why not... while he has guaranteed 16 dmg there...
He just doesn't stop to think
It actually infuriates me to the point where i have to stop watching and come back to the video later
In this Episode:
NL Decides he doesn't need odds anymore.
All of NL's good things need odds to come into play.
Also I feel like one of the most meaningful changes to Cactus was changing his thorns gain from 2 to 1, which is actually really significant. Unless him getting two for every die used was actually just me not paying attention.
Anyone else notice how loose the wizard's socks are? Like, his toes don't even reach all the way.
He ain't even got no toes neither brother
@@swudurshchurf2386 Is that a triple negative?
@@extremebucket Damn right it is
My dude will REFUSE to use inffliction even when it's strictly better than otherwise. lol
trappy chan finally someone who said it. Why take the 1 damage with cauldron when you could keep a 3 out there to throw trash dice in if the cauldron rolls trash.
8:45 says he will take advantage of whatever resin he can yet he won't use hall of mirrors. Imagine not thinking a limit break every turn was resinous.
It's just too slow
y'all are pointing out the cursed play at 6:08 but really, most of these plays are highly cursed
The amount of times he took damage from burning dice that he could have thrown instead for more damage at no expense to his health...NL, you ok?
After the Rat King carried you in the final boss fight, you dare to disrespect the Rat equipment?!
This egg is rotten
Right how much equipment Does Damage and gives a new dice? Other than the caldrons I mean But poison is cumulative
It's bad until you can use it like 3-4 times per turn compared to cauldron
6:07
excuse me, wtf
Precious Egg, do you remember when you talked through your decisions before you acted and you played very well?
6:08 what is wrong with you nl
>redemption for nudge and hom
NL they were both always incredibly good, you just wouldn't forking use them....
3 slot: the only damage spell
5 slot: hot garbage
NL: "Let's duplicate the 5 so now we have seven fives. Then use our only three to gain block and throw all of our dice at the enemy because there's literally nothing I can do with all of these fives and I have no place to put my evens."
I really think, that Northernlion underappreciates Hall of Mirrors and overappreciates Cauldrons...
You nudged a 6 to make an odd for shield, when you had a 1 that you just threw at him. What are you actually doing you mad egg? Is this punishment for everyone saying to use nudge?
He seem to hate hall of mirrors to spite chat.
Dude. That vacuum's last move was that only Dicey AI spit in the face.
Egg, please... Hall of Mirrors...
Loving the series! Keep it up
That title is a mood
6:08 (Awful Play)
Episode 66 (Cursed number)
This shall forever be known as
The Cursed Nudge Play
If you ever get the same build, put your damage dealers on the evens and Golden Cauldron should be better.
Yay! I love this series. :)
NL here is my winning strat for the witch, go for maximum dice production and rerolling with 1 or 2 reliable sources of damage. The big magic spells are really good, but they require you to have control of your dice
Real minor thing you could be doing that helps (a bit). If you are going to level up after the fight, check what the max damage the enemy could potentially do. If you have more HP than that AND can definitely kill them in one more turn regardless of what you roll, give them that extra turn to build your limit break. Could have entered floor 2 with limit break.
He did that a few episodes ago, him making the right plays depends on mood and concentration now, but it's all up there in his head.
I think buying Magic Dagger at 20:00 was the play. In the upgraded slot it becomes a really nice sink for all those non-damaging dice. You often spend two dice to put out and use equipment for damage, but if you instead put them both in the magic dagger, you'd deal more damage. It's definitely better than the Infliction you were carrying. Would have made a great replacement. Upgraded, it deals more damage, I believe. From 2 to 3. All those times you throw dice you could be getting far more damage out of them, and if you think of it, at best you could get 6 damage out of your other dice anyways (using a dice to put out a damage source and then putting a 6 in there) so even with the perfect rolls magic dagger is going even, assuming you put it out on an upgraded slot and keep it there. Usually it's a damage improvement. Having no even/odd/high/low requirement makes it very versatile and I think it helps fill in gaps in many different builds (such as your build, which lacked good things to do with odds.)
Hall of mirrors upgraded plus magic dagger is op op
Magic dagger is literally an upgraded "throw dice"
@@sagecraft601 Or a downgraded cauldron, since you don't get a reroll
NL your content is amazing.
I think we’re getting close. Just a feeling. Gonna miss this series. I hope it ends in a win!
The massive misuse of infliction right at the beginning though.... does he know that a literal 1 still does 3 damage??
Does he not understand he can duplicate sixes? Like.... that entire fireman fight????
I used Hall of Mirrors a lot in the upgraded slot because then it's just evens so I could get more and more dice economy going.
Yay game audio
I don't even play the game, but NL refusing to use hall of mirrors feels like a tragedy in the making...
You had lethal a turn earlier on the pirate just by throwing the dice.
I thought he figured out already, that he needs to be doing more damage, faster, to win... The shield helps, but making every fight take 5 turns doesn't. He got one damage spell, and literally said he shouldn't take another because he already has one. And then neglected many times where he could put 2 copies of it on the field at a time. And regularly used his higher evens for utility plays instead of damage.
Commenting on every Northernlion video until we get a new Poison Mushroom series #13
Should've put this name for episode 69 ;)
I feel you so much in this. I don't know what it is, but I have everything besides the witch hard mode. The last achievement in my grasp. Taken away by a Vacuum and Loud Bird. ;-;
The decent into madness has effected the play and the titles
New Sneezy is op... if you are the thief with the yoink level.
Steal that doubles card, then fight Cornelius
Instant run win
"As always Hall of Mirrors shows up and is going to incite an argument in the comments." Well, I think it is unanimous that Ryan way undervalues HoM so... one shitty argument we are having.
The way you play sometimes NL. The way you play.
That was a rough watch, not gonna lie.
Im bummed they changed sneezy's kit, he was an iconic enemy
What happened to damage is king?
Taking gold cauldron makes it so much harder to get more shock and damage on the first run
That first run could have gone a lot better for a lot of reasons, but I feel like having magic shield on a four slot and electric shock on a three slot didn't help.
Is putting odd spells on even dice and even spells on odd dice really a good idea?
It's not a good idea. Especially when you have cards like duplicate or gold cauldron or get frozen or whatever. In the late game, NL's strategy has no advantage, if you roll 4 dice the worst you can get is two even and two odds, which works both fine with even-on-even or even-on-odd strategy. But if you roll four dice of the same type, NL's strategy is much worse as he can't do anything (apart from using prepared spells and dice manipulation).
It's good until you get Gold cauldron. If you put even spells on even dice in the spellbook, then odds become dead rolls.
Hence the gold cauldron issue: If you want to be efficient with your dice you will put odd spells on evens and vice versa, but gold cauldron makes it so you shouls put everything into evens, which is a bad idea early on in the run.
Let's gooo
It's difficult to express how terrible this man is at playing the witch. Perhaps one day, humanity will produce a poet worthy of the task.
Prepared slot: magic spear + gold cauldron could be nice
1 is not a prime number but 1 is still an odd number last time i checked
First run went downhill as soon as he replaced nudge on the prepared spell slot
What say you? Is he gonna make it?
Remember it's just a game
Something tells me the vacuum might be problematic.
Ok so technically at 11:22 u should've nudged then thrown the dice u would've taken no damage and done 1 extra damage
This. It feels even worse than the 6:08 play because he picked up nudge just to get evens.
lol
High hopes
As much as these are cursed plays, I cant help but notice how screwed he consistently gets. Like that last turn was some serious bs, blind dice, and 5 of his 6 dice ended up as a 5 or 6. Egg isn't good at this, but hes definitely not so bad that this should be impossible for him
Misplays right at the start, can't even last a minute to kill slime egg?
27 minutes
Oh boy another failure
So really just to highlight how bad prepared slot in his second turn against the Sorceress at 7:40-ish if he had an upgraded slot he could've used a Hall of Mirrors and gotten two more dice basically for free
pffff, that's assuming that NL would play hall of mirrors at all
@@kstalia honestly can't believe he thinks nudge is better
He really should have used Hall of Mirrors right guys? Guys? Hello? On a serious note are you going to play hard mode of episode 6?
If you're making an engine to generate evens, stop putting your damage spells on odd dice spell slots. Let them be even so you can use the dice you generate to get more shock spells out.
Gold cauldron killed you
ImGine stacking shields and getin 20 dice out of hall miror and just stoning enemy’s to the oblivion
NL MAKING EXCUSES AFTER COPPING OUT AND USING THE “easy VERYSION OF THE GAMR” smh
The amount of times he loses/takes an insane amount of damage to Snowman, Vacuum, Loud Bird and Banshee are off the charts. And I can honestly say that I do the same, they're insanely hard to play against imo
Yeah, all four of those can be pretty rough. Freezing in general can be deadly as the witch unless you have specific spells set on your 1 slot and snowman does pretty high damage anyways, and banshee has the two-pronged problem of being a difficult fight, on a floor where you've likely taken/will take a lot of chip damage with little way to mitigate/heal.
I think episode 4 would be balanced if every character started with a weakening equipment
I think he’s putting too much focus on strategic dice and then having no way to deal damage, like he consistently never uses infliction after floor 2 and totally avoided magic spear and then magic dagger which would’ve suited his play style of the last run with it’s trillions of die
Isn't magic dagger just a worse cauldron unless you have like 6+ dice?
Uzii they’re very different utilities
I know that there's a backlog, but if anyone else is having trouble, here's advice: Slow down. NL does these unnecessary nudge plays and is in awe even when the AI does a normal turn (Like how he almost thought he lived at the end of the video), because he isn't paying attention. NL's struggling because he can't see the clear line that he should take turn to turn, resulting in him not throwing dice, not doing optimal damage, and throwing some potential wins where he wasn't getting unlucky. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a backlogged W by now though.
I am enjoying the series. It sucks that the game keeps putting the smackdown on NL, making it hard for him to enjoy it as well.
Ok we get it, 6:08 wasnt his finest moment, now can we stop roasting him and actually offer some constructive criticism?
Yeah, you're right! We should be talking about 25:03 instead :D
He tells us why he doesn't choose some items, but he never *shows* us why. Try a different strat NL!! Play more red damage.
i wish nl would stop blaming the game and the episode instead of himself and his hundreds of misplays
11:17 why nl, you could've just used the unburned two friends shock and thrown the burning three. I don't understand your logic at all.
6th!
yikes
Second?
First
Wake me up when he starts doing what we keep saying in the comments. Respect hall of mirrors and RNGesus will bless you win a W.
Hi,
Wake up
Nothernlion, please just slow down an look at your dice and spells
Why do you always say we’ll stick with what works when you’ve never won. It’s like your strategy is cognitive dissonance
WHY IS THE AUDIO BACK REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
these comments continue to make me lose faith in humanity
Yeah not gonna even watch after that stupid play. You lose anyway
