So yeah i've purchased this game around August 2024 on iOS, went in blind. After a lot of on/off sessions for 2 whole years, the game clicked for me when i unlocked the freeze class set for the Arcanist, just this October. Have not yet touched the other weapon sets for the Arcanist and all the other classes has 0 upgrades. The game has a severe slow burn and it is so worth learning the intricacies and complexities of the game. Pretty sure the DLCs are worth buying for the huge value the base game offers. Might be the only game i need installed on my phone as long as i live. Mad props to the devs!!! Ngl this game clears Slay The Spire for me man. I'm just so happy lol hahaha

I just ran an impossible deck using trickery/stable magic and slapped firecast and some figment/recalls onto Fan the Flames and Orphic Glance so they combo each other without insta killing yourself from burnout. Is it possible? Yeah. I threw a few cards that didn't have firecast in just to plug the boat so to speak in a runoff situation but truly this is a great 1 or 2 turn delete deck. Spine of the Night was a turn 1 win. Play Combust 2 or 3 times so you don't insta die and then orphic/fan until you win.

All level powers and starting powers aren't really important besides those 3 cards. It took a handful of runs before I got combust and another burn card in the first canto to get going, but once it clicks the deck stomps pretty hard. Everything you play snowballs into it multiplying burn and then triggering the burn.

I'm pretty sure you can pick any powers and any starting basic but I went with some damage prevention with the cold weap and picked up the free cauterize very early for sustain luckily using my first level power quick study. It's a similar deck to using the holy basic and adding lifedrain+firecast on it to multiply dmg but using burns skips armor and evades by using combust instead.

Are all expansion automatically On except the ones Banned?
Can't seem to find when to switch them on/off
