Watcher is too focused for me on ...focus. I prefer the fluidity of Silent - she's more nuanced and adaptable, but each to their own. More elegance and less number crunching."Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob

Discarding cards is not elegant.
I'm still great and you still love it. -
Oh it so is you scoundrel, especially when you can riffle throught the pack quickly like an elf. Exhausting cards is thuggery."Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob

Not that kind of focus. Bash-defend focus is what I'm on about. Binary concentration."Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob -
I think I was thinking of the karma one. Focus is what the robot has.

Send messageYou can survive blasphemy if you have an intangible charge for the turn after you play it, I believe it reduces the 99999 damage you take to 1hp just like any other damage. Maybe they patched it, but it's a pretty rare occurrence. I think orange pellets might also be able to clear the effect as well.
Edit: Just checked, the Blasphemy effect is a buff so no orange pellets, but a buffer charge will block the damage as well as intangible apparently."Let me tell you, when yung Rouj had his Senna and Mansell Scalextric, Frank was the goddamn Professor X of F1." -
Often my fave character is whichever one I’m playing as at the time, but there are def characters I play more often. With that in mind I’d rank it as ironclad, silent, watcher then defect in that order. The largest gap being between watcher and defect. In fact the only thing I feel certain of is that defect is the weakest character
There have been quite a few times where the watcher has been my fave. Scry is a great mechanic, and iirc it’s the only character I managed to go infinite with. Plus comfortably smashing as many act 1 elites as possible is a great way to start any run. -
Second time dying on final final battle of ac20. Got corruption from the off and got snecko at act 1 boss.I'm still great and you still love it.
-
The funniest run I've had in a while.
Managed to get juggernaut, and ALL the other status cards are great supers to work. Died on final boss again, but oh my days.
Had upgraded dual wield too., with zero cost body slam. Oh my days. When it worked, I had 100+ block on occasion with 3 body slams in hand, and usually vulnerable on enemies. Lol.I'm still great and you still love it. -

Final boss again. Dammit. Fell into corruption/snecko again because it presented itself, but didn't get a 4 energy relic at act 2 boss so act 3 was up hill.I'm still great and you still love it.
-
That's me up to Asc4 on all characters now. Just did it with Silent, breezing through act 3 with Corpse Explosion as a starting card doing all the heavy lifting. Beat Unawakened too - with patience, poison and power cards after his regen.Gamertag: gremill -
It's gob smackingly good."Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob
-
I'm kinda scared to play it.
Because a couple of hours disappear.
Had another couple of games on iPhone the other day. I'm now 2 clears in 3 games with iron boy.Live= sgt pantyfire PSN= pantyfire -
That percentage won't last.
Made it to final boss again at ac20.
Just a brutal shtick ac20, just brutal.I'm still great and you still love it. -
Jorbs is doing a fun new series where he runs through every single card in the compendium, starting with the Ironclad.
The way he's doing it is great, talking through a bunch of points about each card and their context within the character's card pool, which means he's covering Strike for Ironclad and Defend for Ironclad and not just in general, which is important cos he has lots of interesting things to say about Defend for Ironclad, for example.
Latest one is great cos he dives into AoE card theory towards the end of the video, and brings up a lot of things i'd never even really considered.
-
Cleave, the card in the title card, always looks like a burrito to me.
-
I will have to try.
Videos are good though. Anyone who wants to know more about how the game works, or thinks they have it sussed should watch a bunch of Jorbs stuff to have their mind peeled open. -
Yeah I have watched a few of his runs but that series seems particularly useful.
There are still cards I know I dont fully understand even with Silent who I have done dozens of runs with. -
Jorbs is the man.
Was going to take break from this, as I wasn't getting anywhere with my Asc4 runs and it was getting mucho frustrato. Then I demolished it with Defect with a load of Defrag+ cards and I'm back in it.Gamertag: gremill -
I’d watch those but it’d feel a little too much like cheating. I’ve got too far under my own steam to sully the record now.
A bit of an annoying position as it’d be interesting to see the cards decoded. -
When the game is this deceptively complex it doesn't feel like cheating to me. I've watched a couple of overexplained and they are good."Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob
-
Barely a scratch. Still had Ghost in the shell, fairy in a bottle and lizard tail. Trying to go up the heart ascs with Silent.
"Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob -
Niiiice.
I've clearly been playing too long.
My mindset is too much "fuck it, let's try it" for ac20 at the moment. Taking every gamble I can find.
Some good lols though.
Watching jorbs again has been great too.
His analysis of armaments and also his recommendation of swapping relic as a possibility have led to some fun hands.I'm still great and you still love it. -
I’ve hit a brick wall clearly at around Asc 8/10 where my dumb dumb brain just can’t deal with the tweaked difficulty. Have about 4-8 hours of Defect and Ironclad grinding under my belt, not a single win. Miserable times.
Howdy, Stranger!
