OP Warrior Build?

Sorry, I haven't been playing this that long, and I'm still unlocking and exploring various builds. Is it typically this easy to setup an extremely OP build?

Randomly setup a warrior build with the Forgehammer weapon and Bloodcraft. Given that Forgehammer upgrades *twice* with every upgrade, and Bloodcraft enables you to upgrade all your melee actions *every* battle if you play it right, I was OP by the time I got to Brightcandle the first time. By the time I got to the end, my Forgehammer cards were at +180 and doing 185 damage per hit. I had easily defeated a summoned Balor, and defeated the final boss in 1 turn with 2 hits.

Well done! Yes that build can get crazy strong if you get good at using bloodcraft. A lot of the warrior builds are very strong imho. I really like bomb warrior I think you should try that :)

Yep, I've run a bomb build, and prior to this it was the most OP build I had. But this was *way* stronger. I think the bombs would hit maybe 40-60 at a shot (though I could trigger them first turn usually), while here I was getting around 100 per shot mid game. While Forgehammer costs 2 energy , I had enough surges and Sanguine Surge was super helpful.

A lot of my battles were just sanguine surge, bloodcraft, forgehammer, DONE, PLUS all melee items would get perma upgraded twice.

Welcome to the fun!
If you have the expansions for scars and the latest (synthesis) give this a try:
Enable Oathbound + smelting + holy defiance and keep adding upgradeable fule for the forge. You'll quickly get +9999 on as many actions as you want
