Re-enrolling at the academy (Slay the Spire)

This is fresh for YouTube video, not a stream VOD!

We’ve never been as back as we are now.

[FioFiorello]

We're Balatro guys, of course we are also Slay the Spire guys

[Abaddon]

It's the year 2024 and I'm still sitting here laughing and clapping like a damn seal when Ryan ends turn with unceasing top. Some things never change.

"Im not stupid I'm just aware that I'm being governed by my own emotions; what I'm doing is rejecting the idea that I should be an unfeeling automaton. Instead I'm saying what I feel is true even though I recognize that it's false, and you can deal with the cognitive dissonance of that. The only time you see Donu Deca is when you're anointed by God himself"
so glad to see this series back

Slay the Spire **AND** a claw deck? 11/10 return.

[neilmannion]

Holy shit it's back. Chat if yous take this from me again through back seating I will never forgive you

[BebehCookieIcecream]

I pogged off my fucking chair in the office. We're breaking out of the van city spire with this one

Any NL fan complaining about more Slay the Spire is no true NL fan, this is our bread and butter. I’ve been hooked on it since the first time he played, and would be happy to keep watching this content until Slay the Spire 2 comes out. My only note is that it would be fun to see some more custom runs for variety. Maybe do a draft deck or mix up the characters cards, stuff like that.

This is probably the best case scenario. Slay The Spire but no mental anguish from the type A andrews on stream, and he thankfully doesn't read comments on youtube anymore

[rorywhyte]

Those who said Slay the Spire was gone forever are real Silent right now.

[jackATTACK]

Damn he got 2 elites with the 1 HP starter relic and didn’t even mention it. He’s built different

[samm]

You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you

Hi NL, love seeing Spire back even if it's only briefly! You asked about some tips for pathing. I'm not a pro by any means but I have a roughly 25% win rate on A20H so I have an idea of what I'm talking about. There are a few good rules of thumb I can give:

1. In Act 1, the first 3 hallway fights you take are from an "easy pool", meaning you should value them more than ? floors. For example, you cannot fight gremlin gang or Slaver + slime in your first 3 fights (these are considered hard pool fights) so it's a safe way to gain resources (card reward, gold, potion chance).

2. Try to take paths that have flexibility, meaning you have a branch at some point between a hard path with many elites or an easy path with few elites. This is nice because sometimes you're only able to take the hard path if you get good luck in your card rewards/potion drops so being able to bail if you get bad luck on your drops is really nice.

3. In general, you should be wary of visiting too many ? rooms. Hallway fights give consistently good rewards so if you can take them without bleeding out too much HP, you should. The main exception to this rule might be Act 2 where hallway fights are very scary (snake plant😨) and events are pretty high value (Upgrade all strikes/defends, apparitions, cursed tome, etc.).

There are always exceptions to these rules of course, but I think it's a good foundation at least. Hope it helps!

Holy, at first I thought FrostPrime did a collab with you, but it's a fresh new StS video! Indeed, we're so back!

[MrDanieloneill]

Thank god, non-toxic, YouTube-only content. Missed you egg.

[nemopropheta]

He needs to play on shrooms to reset his neuroplasticity so he can relearn to play the game in the most optimal way

[TheGalassog]

In respect to the value of a potion: Frost Prime tends to set it at 12 block because that's the amount you get out of a block potion.

[jacobhegy]

The moment he took Rip & Tear on the first fight I knew we were in a new era, WE ARE SO BACK

Easiest click of my life, bespoke spire?!
