For me, Silent vs Lagivulan is the hardest fight in the game. I can never deal enough damage before my damage output peters out and I'm on full defense until I die.
I have some steps for each elite, for lagavulin they are: 1- have some form of consistent damage. Big damage. 2- have a considerable amount of health, for lagavulin and the subsequent fights. If those two criteria are met, you most likely can win this fight. Don't be scared to skip some defensive cards in order to deal more damage, the earlier this fight ends the better.
I've been mostly playing silent and recently started to play watcher. It's insane how easy Watcher handles act 1 elites because she can so easily scale up her damage compared to silent. Vs Lagivulan I usually just end it before the first debuff or right after the debuff.
Could you add to your description: “Number of times people have wondered if I am a bot and checked my profile to find out” Because I definitely just checked.
I imagine taking random rare is comparable to taking a curse early that you are betting you can turn into a massive boon later. Most rares are only useful under certain conditions
Re: relics borrowed from other characters, I’d argue that Duality would be even crazier than Cloak Clasp on Silent, tbh. Getting 3 temp dexterity off of playing a single unupgraded Blade Dance sounds absolutely nasty
I hope StS 2 is more of the same and that it doesn't change its core gameplay. StS is a perfect game in my eyes, and other than a few of the weird interactions, it doesn't get much better than this. No other game comes close to the number of hours I've put in, especially since it came out for mobile. I've logged almost 800 hours on the phone alone and even more on console and PC, and probably more hours than that watching Baalor. I've watched the WR re-run so much I can't wait for the next one. Thank you Baalorlord and staff for your continued entertainment and education! ❤
Through the time of watching you it's so interesting that cards that I valued a lot went down after hearing you explain why they are not very good on a20. However I'm still very much part of the club that says: see a a thousand cuts take a a thousand cuts 😂
@@jrowe567 In general, the entropy of a system increases with the temperature. In theory a "cold brew" (name for coffee that is steeped in cool water rather than boiled) would have less entropy than a "hot brew".

Heyo youtube editor. As someone who's watched probably over 150+ hours of baalor yt, these titles are anti-clickbait for me. They are actually starting to push me away because I just hate blatant clickbait. I get that you're trying to draw people in and that it's probably quite difficult to come up with an awesome unique title for every video, but at this point I've clicked on 100 "deck good!" or "deck good..." and it's getting to a point. I do really mean this as genuine constructive feedback because I otherwise do really enjoy the content
Well, he's going to listen to the analytics, and this has clearly worked. I understand the frustration myself, but the numbers matter more than loud voices in the comments.
Honestly i wouldnt mind the clickbait if it was accurate. The sadistic nature run the other day was barely hanging by a thread but still got called "op" by the title
it’s a StS video why does the title even matter? you’re really not going to watch the video because the title is bland? you can only have so many titles for a game that has similar runs often
I have a request. Can you maybe add a counter that shows how many consecutive wins you currently have during any run? Would be really nice to kinda see the progress on UA-cam.
@@tylers92 I commented on this before, but I guess it's worth explaining again: this seems to go against the playstyle and philosophy of Baalor himself. If he cared for "exploiting", he wouldn't be using a mod that removes one such possible avenue from the game (RNGFix), for example. Or he would be open to savescumming, to cite another possibility. But he does not. In fact, Baalor tries to set upon himself restrictions and objectives that make his game life more difficult, but he does so within a very clear and defined ruleset. That seems to me to go against the very concept of "exploiting", which is why the use of this word in the title triggers me so much. Of course, this is just my opinion as a viewer of this channel. I am not in the position of managing a youtube channel, with the responsibilities and difficulties that come with that. I just wanted to comment on that from my perspective.
@@Wiggliest In a way, yes. Of course, Baalor and his editor have a clearly-defined work relationship, and it's not my place to butt in there. What I take affront in is the kind of bait-and-switch I already commented on. It might be necessary for youtube, but there's no exploits in the video, and there aren't meant to be. Just good usage of a card, and good gameplay.

@@wngmvyou are righttt, and what about slime boss? easiest boss fight with watcher, pain in the ass with the silent
Pick a poison card, or more 2 cost cards
Timestamp for when Baalor picks up the card in the thumbnail (Ritual Dagger):
Ritual Dagger: (39:34)
Caw caw, says the Silent!

Always scary facing heart after vampires. Just never seems like enough health.

Charon's Ashes on the Silent is the correct answer, however ...
@@JeJoueMalOooh, that’s actually a really good one too
Which class relic would be strongest on another character? Charon's Ashes would be busted in a Silent Shiv deck.
AoE shivs. Now that would be fun.

That’s true, but if there’s anyone I would trust to improve the game in ways I didn’t even think possible, it would be Mega Crit

First decision made at 3:41
thank u ur goated
Just in time for bed, thank you baalorlord
Repo-mancer was pretty good lol
The entropic mtn dew joke made me think of my own dad joke:
Why doesn't the shopkeeper like cold brews?
Because he prefers his brews entropic.
I want a refund
I don't get it
@@ElliottSith No refunds

This is exceedingly high quality and no refunds should be provided

i mean its kinda hard since the runs are gonna be somewhat similar to previous ones, what would you genuinely title some of these vids
it’s a StS video why does the title even matter? you’re really not going to watch the video because the title is bland? you can only have so many titles for a game that has similar runs often
HELL YEAH! Love the streams
45:30 he did have room in hand for blade dance?
No nightmare ritual dagger heart kill :(
How can I do that highlighter thing that you do on the map?
It is a mod called Mapmarks. You can find links to all of Baalors mods here: baalorlord.tv/mods
@@Baalorlord Thanks
I have a request. Can you maybe add a counter that shows how many consecutive wins you currently have during any run? Would be really nice to kinda see the progress on UA-cam.
Counter is in the description already!
@@Baalorlord ah ^^' thx for the info. I seem extremely dumb now xD
youve tried Dice and Fold? Greetings from Panama
What is your favourite scaling method?
Why is the random common relic start for silent one of the best ones to choose?
I think it's a combination of no downside and Silent being able to utilize a lot of relics really really well with the right card picks.
Can we get a 1.0 Slay the Spire stream at some point?
Baalor already streamed Spire 1.0 recently! You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/YmfgVwuyR0I/v-deo.html
@@Baalorlord cool, good to know!
I know it feeds youtube like nothing else, but I really, really dislike these "exploit" titles being used.
why does the title bother you that much? who cares?
