Well seen as he's suddenly an ascension level up from last episode, I think it's highly likely the episodes were not posted in order, which is ancient NL technology
If there's any enduring advice I can offer, it's to take Meteor Strike when you can. Shit's horribly powerful, synergizes well with Mummified Hand and Snecko Eye, and fuels the most degenerate combos you can imagine. Advice aside, you kicked ass this episode!
bro the start of this run got me shifting on my chair, rolling my eyes, gripping the sheets and to be honest throwing my head back and moaning a little bit too
@asula376 We're Balatro guys, of course we make a comment as soon as we see the video and make a comment based off a fairly safe assumption that may or may not work out.
@@christianj2361 I see. I’m not a Balatro guy, more of a Slay the Spire and DnDegenrate Gamblers guy, so I hadn’t got that information before you told me.
you did great this run! The only thing worth mentioning is that with mummified hand, sneko eye should be an instant pick up, because it is so easy to subvert the extra costs you end up playing your whole hand anyway. Same with meteor strike. with a power heavy deck and mummified hand you practically never have to play it for 5 energy. Good luck on your way to A20!
My personal ev on hello world is that Machine Learning lets you draw harder into your (refined) deck each turn. Snecko Eye + Echo form could let you just see your entire deck so quickly if you have good cards to enable this (Coolheaded, glacier, Chemical-X) and this sets you up for late game in a pretty fun linear way. I know that's all about ML, but Hello World is basically the cheapest route into the same sort of game loop (+1 card each turn), and its great for pulling answers out of nowhere. Sure its random cards, but its simple 1/3 question of what you want from it. A defend+. a strike+ or some other effect the starter deck doesn't have. early/mid game echo form is a very fair tightrope to play around at 3 cost with no guarantee of an answer to the mana problem. Hello World does bloat your deck, but if you hit the nuts before redraw, you rarely get to see yourself being punished by adding 4 random cards to the deck. Now in longer fights it is trash, but if your deck is relying on starter cards before an elite or even 1st boss.. hello world gives you some extra mileage. The downside of the added cards can also be played around (recycle, reboot or even just seeing it as a Wound) but also is a highroll beast of if you roll good cards, you just win. My favorite card 10/10 I am not a20 (yet)
My mans waltzing into act 3 with 3 block cards in a deck of 21. If you're readjng this @NL, i think the correct picks for astrolabe were strike dualcast and either one of the streamlines or MAAAYBE a defend. But the state of your deck at that time was really lacking defense so cutting defend doesnt seem like an option. i think in this positions you should be looking to move away from plain damage cards and focussing on frost and lightning orbs.
And he did it over. And over. Mummified makes a power 0 so he could 0 out another card. He has unceasing top. Straight up wastes the energy instead. It's like accidental rage baiting.
I don't think NL fully understands how good Capacitor and Loop are with lightning orb focused builds, especially with Defragments and Electrodynamics in the mix. He was cranking out 40+ damage per turn, passively, in the last boss fight from the Loop alone
Unlike Snecko Eye, Snecko Oil actually doesn't apply a debuff, so the cost randomization can't be avoided. 🤓 That being said, it only applies to the cards in your hand after the potion draws.

16:13 oooooooh, meteor strike with mummified hand! One of the strongest combos in the whole game, certainly he will take it and have an easier run.
To be fair, the capacitor ended up doing way more damage on Donu and Deca because of the high focus
Must be a speedrun

And it was, in fact, a speedrun

I do be taking Meteor Strike whenever I see it, even if I can't play it. Just in case lol
Wow this shit is insanely nice for a slay the spire comment
I don't have the experience to instantly imagine all the combo potential but I will definitely be considering this in future runs. 👍

Luckiest astrolabe in history
Seeing the time of the video made me think he lost and his sprit broke
One day NL will learn that streamline actually sucks and is not necessary to beat the boss.
i pog i die i pog again
THE SPEEDRUN HAPPENED
Tough to watch mummified hand making a power cost 0 and he plays a power that cost something
NL is improving... slowly
And he did it over. And over. Mummified makes a power 0 so he could 0 out another card. He has unceasing top. Straight up wastes the energy instead. It's like accidental rage baiting.
What an insane run

Guys he’s doing it
Just letting you guys know, yes there absolutely must be some kind of lost episode because the one before was ascension 16
Unlike Snecko Eye, Snecko Oil actually doesn't apply a debuff, so the cost randomization can't be avoided. 🤓
That being said, it only applies to the cards in your hand after the potion draws.
Congrats on not being a derelict father!
