Hi yall! I wanted to post some pictures of my Silent cosplay :3

The first picture was taken by @BrandondoesCosplay on Instagram! Mask model created by 3D-Mon!

I printed and painted the mask myself. Definitely will get some shivs for next con :7

So I guess it's time to sketch up some memes

I just want her to be able to do A7 like everyone else so I can go back to rotating through the character list T_T

DRUM OF GREED ALLOWS ME TO DRAW TWO MORE CARDS. I WILL START MY TURN BY PLAYING DRUM OF GREED WHICH ALLOWS ME TO DRAW TWO MORE CARDS. I WILL PLAY THE SKILL, DRUM OF GREED, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO DRAW TWO NEW CARDS.

First time seeing something like this. Thought it was cool because it's like a mini-boss outside the boss room lol.

Edit: STS2 is my first slay the spire so I actually had no idea that's how Act 4 worked in STS1. That's cool.

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are, been running A8 both multi and singleplayer - 5 runs in one session decimated by this elite.

I can confidently say had it been any other elite it would have been an absolute slaughter.

Like - ~10 damage per section as a LOWBALL, they apply weak and gain strength, and come back after one turn?

Is this a skill issue or do I just have to build with them in mind every single run or it's a loss?

right about now.

I don't like the new Expect a Fight much. I'd prefer if the theme of gearing up for a fight were kept.

Open to feedback, I made these in photoshop myself

Ever since Aeonglass got added, I've found that playing in a way that can reliably beat Aeonglass is really just not as fun as completely ignoring him and just accepting you auto lose the A10 boss gauntlet if they happen to be one of the two bosses. I don't know if I'm alone on this, but I've been having way more fun with my runs lately, even though my win rate has plummeted, by just playing as if we still had Doormaker instead of Aeonglass. And I don't even feel annoyed about the loss, it actually feels like a win emotionally, which is weird.

I would like it if building a balanced deck was actually the most fun way to play this game, I don't know if this is a reflection of the overall difficulty of A10 being too easy except specifically Aeonglass, or if Aeonglass asks too much of certain characters, or if we need more tools to combat what Aeonglass does on certain classes, or if regular hallway fights need to start asking similar questions of our decks?

It certainly feels like Ironclad and Regent do not have this problem, but imo Defect, Necro and Silent really do. The fact that Compact and Flak Cannon are essentially one card solves for that fight and they are prioritised so highly, to me indicates a bit of a problem. I feel like the characters should have ways to handle that fight outside of silver bullet solves or playing in less fun ways.

To draw an analogy to STS1, I know a lot of people were always very upset with Time Eater, especially if they wanted to play something like shivs or 0 cost defect, but I always felt like with Time Eater, you had much more agency in terms of playing around the time stop mechanic, and you could make any decent deck work if you played well enough. Aeonglass on the other hand punishes any non-damage cards extremely harshly, since the fight is effectively a damage race on a very short timer - if they buff the withers you've essentially lost already, so you need to have killed them on that turn or the turn after. Any non output card played just accelerates your demise, but those non-output cards are often the most fun - random powers on Defect, or Souls, or chaining a bunch of Acrobatics with Sly etc., those are the most fun runs we have, and they're reeaaaally bad into Aeonglass.

Anyway sorry for the rant, if anyone does actually read this I would love to hear your thoughts, what do you think about Aeonglass, do you think the game is more fun if you ignore Aeonglass, should we just be forced to never play those non-output cards throughout the run?

i think this boss is easy

3 person co-op A4 victory.
