I really did want to do Chronicles of Drunagor. But with coming down with a cold or some bug and Slay the Spire launching on Kickstarter, see my Back or Brick here, it was time to play the game again. And I’m glad I did, I haven’t for a little while and the game is just always so much fun.

Slay the Spire – The Defect

Let’s talk about the character that I played this last time. And keep in mind that these are not fully unlocked characters when you see how poorly it went. But I played The Defect, maybe my 2nd favorite character to play. The defect basically managed different slots for powers like lightning or ice or others which give them abilities.

Basically, at the end of the turn, each slot activates. If it’s lightning, it randomly hits a bad guy. If it’s ice, it gives you some shield. So you can build your turn around trying to set-up the right amount of defense so that you don’t over play cards, or the right amount of attack that someone can get finished off.

The other thing I really like about the Defect are their power cards. The Defect has more power cards than most other ones. And they can help charge up slots, activate them more, or a lot of different things. Draw additional cards and I’m forgetting because there are so many. So I like to build out my system where it’s a ton of powers and otherwise a pretty lean deck. All the while putting out more lightning so that even if I don’t attack I’m still dealing out a good amount of damage.

Upcoming Streams

So let’s tackle this again and hopefully next Wednesday I’ll be playing Chronicles of Drunagor. I think I know which characters I am playing, but because it’s delayed by a week, pick who you think I should play in the poll below.

And on Monday, after taking Halloween off, which was a good call with timing of everything, I am getting back to my Top 100 Games (of all time) 2022 Edition. And it is going to be 40 through 31. All the games on my list I really enjoy, but as I get closer and closer to the top the more excited I get to play them. So click that notification bell to know when I’m going live next.
