It’s time for more Slay the Spire. I didn’t have enough time to get another game ready to stream leading into heading out to Gen Con tomorrow. So instead, it was time to play more Slay the Spire. I chatted about Gen Con, did poorly at Slay the Spire and had a good time.

Slay the Spire – What Went Wrong

Let’s talk a little bit about my strategies and what maybe didn’t work in them. The first run it was mainly just a matter of running into an elite that was good against what I was doing. They healed, so if I didn’t do damage quickly, I was kind of screwed. The second game, I think it was just a matter of not enough defense with the strategy I was employing.

The third game, I think my issue was that I mixed my plans. Part of it was just waiting back, being defensive. I did have a few powers, my preferred way to play. But I was building towards a Claw strategy with the defect. Each time you attack with a claw all claws gain +2 damage. So if you get a lot of claws into your deck with defense cards, you build up damage quickly.

I flipped between the two, including skipping on a claw one time, I think that is where I messed it up. It’d have been better if I’d just kept grabbing claws to build up my damage faster. While I like passive damage a lot when I play, the cards lead me down another direction, which I ignored. I think that led to the quick loss that third time.

Upcoming Streams

So, upcoming, it’s going to be nothing on Monday. That is likely the day where I’ll be recording and editing a podcast. And there just won’t be time to stream because of that. Then next Wednesday, I do plan on playing Isofarian Guard. But there is a chance that it’ll turn into a talk about Gen Con and show off games that I got. We’ll have to see what I’m up for, what the game room looks like by that day.
