I had 5 or 6 goes with Silent on level 6 and wasn't really getting anywhere. Then tried again and got a snecko eye to start and walked through to the end.
I didn't even get an extra energy relic from the bosses. Just swapped my strikes and blocks for random cards. Towards the end I had virtually no defence but 2 upgraded Wraith Form cards. And then Storm of Steel, Accuracy, Terror and Predator all synergising together.
Good stuff, but I need to get by without snecko eye at this level as well, which is proving tough.
After putting it down here, Neow gave me Velvet Choker as a trade for IC starting relic. Focused on higher cost cards and fought more elites than I normally would and somehow ended up with a pretty good setup. Screenshot the result, must post here for you more experienced peeps to dissect.

I've got a bit addicted to this again now I've got it on my phone. In the process of unlocking everything again and just had a Ac1 first time win with Watcher. Its not a deck I intentionally built but it just worked.
I had prostrate +, diva + and brilliance + bottled so the first round was pretty strong, but if I didn't get diva off it could be a struggle.
Had a run with silent based around the exploding corpse card, the poison multipliers and heavy on block. Absolutely cruised through act 3 right up until I got dead branch. It absolutely killed me on the clock guy as deck bloat stopped me from cycling through the pack quickly. Grrr.
Was supposed to be working but finished a 2hr call and decided to watch the Boy play this. Just left him at start to area 3 with Defect. Didn’t think he’d make it that far not having played this much!
OK, so now I think Watcher is the most powerful character. Just did level 5 and 6 in short order.
Had one of those daft builds on the last one where I could loop turns through 12+ cards, getting divinity at least every other turn and having block carry over between. From act 2 I had the no resting relic, so never expected to get far, but I barely got hit.
Cycling between wraith, calm and divinity, especially if you have diva and (I think) inner peace (the rubrics cube looking one) is really powerful, and as long as you time the wraith so you don't take too much damage it is almost unstoppable.
Got my Watcher clear on only my second run! Quite proud of that. Took 1hr 45m but i took my time reading what the cards do and checking it all out. Interesting character and mechanics.
Almost fucked on Time Keeper. Well, I did. I accidentally ended a turn on counter 10 so next turn I got to play Jack shit. And the fucker healed?! Never seen it do that before. Luckily I had a fairy in a bottle type thing and fucked him up with wrath and lots of miracles and stuff.
I was just updating the Mac before putting it away for a week as half-term and daughter won’t be using it. Was supposed to do some work too but loaded this instead and realised I hadn’t played much on Mac. So I played some. Dammit I have work to do!
Finally beat Asc7 with Watcher yesterday. Didn't really have any big cards or tactics, just quite a balanced deck with lots of Empty Body+ and ways to get in and out of Calm/Wrath.
There was one right near the start and one right near the end of the act. I was aiming to collect money for the latter. Instead, I just ended up shopping at beginning at end!
Gathered a few relics from shops. Defect win! I love it when it all comes together. Time Keeper never had a chance. So beautiful to watch when you annihilate an enemy.
I’m trying to play catch-up with others characters as I was only doing Ironclad for some time. Just before this run, I was using Silent and at one point I got a card / potion that gives me 3 copies of a card in next turn. At 0 cost I think? I chose triple poison. Poor bastard was gonna die in one hit anyway but I got poison to over 2,000 or something just for a laugh. Wow.
