The Silent unlocks are done. Managed to win a run with The Defect. Probably my favourite character. Love building a deck around Powers. Never had a chance to go for a 0-cost deck, or rather, I still have no idea how to build one I'm surprised that this game isn't even beginning to get boring. I've clocked in about 70 hours on the PS4 version and I'm already at 10 hours played on my Switch. Slay the Spire might actually kick Super Mario World and Rayman Legends from the #1 spot of my favourite games of all time
drahkon Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 After unlocking Ascension mode I've decided to climb my way up with The Defect. I'm now at Ascension 8. Have to say: Power decks are awesome Mummified Hand + Creative AI is so good. Also managed to make a 0-cost deck work. Pretty nifty, when you can essentially deal 100+ damge in one turn. My playtime so far: 26 hours. Not bad for a game I've bought 3 weeks ago Anyway, I'm going back to bed and try to slay the spire.
Sméagol Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I can't stand the "get random card" cards. If you get something you can't use, you end up with clutter. Then again I've never tried to do specific combos with them (but trying to go for specific combos is dangerous in this game).

But yeah, even then it's still quite dangerous. If it works out, though, it's oh so satisfying. Personally, I love "get random card" cards There's something beautiful about chaos and randomness that I will always embrace, even if it may kill me.

With my first succesful 0-cost deck I got him and actually defeated him. I think it was a 0-cost / frost combo, I'd have to check, but i relied on the 0-cost for damage mostly.

Yeah, Frost Orbs are important...If I just had the chance to get a card that increases Focus, my most recent fight against him would've been a cake walk.
drahkon Posted January 19, 2020 Author Posted January 19, 2020 Ascension 10 with The Defect complete! I switched to The Ironclad and am now at Ascension 4. Dead Branch + is an insane combo and I love it. 1

I always play this after the regular Borderlands 3 session with a mate late in the evening. Usually at around 11pm....aaaaaaaand then it's 3am Can't stop, won't stop. Anyways, the new patch can't come soon enough to consoles. I'm not ready for the new character, yet, but I'd like to have the new relics and balance changes. Edited January 21, 2020 by drahkon
drahkon Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 Ascension 10 with The Ironclad has been conquered That's two characters out of three. The Silent is up next and then it's time for the final 10 difficulties
drahkon Posted January 24, 2020 Author Posted January 24, 2020 My playtime is now 80 hours on PS4 + 30 hours on Switch and only yesterday I learned that the "Artifact" buff negates not only debuffs from enemies but also from your own cards/potions. Game changer, right there... Guess it's time to never again ignore: 1
drahkon Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 If anyone's playing this on Gamepass, the new patch is out now for you. I can't wait for it to hit PS4/Switch. Not only do I want to play the new character but I also need the balance changes in my life
drahkon Posted January 29, 2020 Author Posted January 29, 2020 I love that this is pretty much my personal thread Aaaaanyways, The Silent is giving me trouble, as usual. Need to focus more on solving my immediate problems. With The Defect and The Ironclad I learnt that early strengths can snowball into late game power.

drahkon Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 Ascension 10 has been conquered with all three characters Took me 54 hours on the Switch. Having already spent 80 hours on the PS4 definitely helped with that I might actually stop playing this for now and wait for the patch/new content. I spend way too much time with Slay the Spire and neglect other games. Ok, one more run...
drahkon Posted February 1, 2020 Author Posted February 1, 2020 Got my first victory against the true boss. Good old Corrpution + Dead Branch If you wanna see some lovely art and my deck, check the spoilers: Spoiler 2 1
Sméagol Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) I've been playing this the last few days (when I should have been watching films instead, <sigh>). I'll post about it more elaborately tomorrow (including decks if you want, though since you're on A10 you probably don't need to look at them ), have to check my history, but in short: finally managed to get my silent and defect up one ascension (it's now 4 / 4 / 3 for me). Again, I have to check, but I had numerous runs with the silent, including a few good ones which all ended up with a variant of a skiv deck.. against the time eater. It's frustrating, because one of those decks had godly cards and relics, but wasn't focussed enough, had some clutter. But I was confident a similar but more focussed deck could definitely win against him. And it almost did. At some point I had a similar but much more focussed deck.. But unfortunately lacking a lot of the synergies the other deck had as well. Purely because of lack of clutter, it actually outperformed the other godly deck, and I came close to killing him. Alas, when I unlocked A4 I didn't get my rematch with time eater. Edit: was also playing around with an (corruption) exhaust deck for ironclad. Forgot how far I got with that one, but it was fun.
