Since this series is meant to explain game mechanics, I think turn 2 of the hexaghost fight is something that should be explained. Playing enough will let you notice that it doesn't always attack for the same amount, but no sane person would figure out the exact way in which the damage is determined without being told. Also many new players automatically skip the bandits fight if they have basically no gold, so the value of the red mask would be another interesting talking point.
Edit: also fun fact you can't gain 2 sets of unlocks from the same run, it will stop 1 point short of getting the 2nd one. Seems a bit silly considering if you're getting that much in a single run you clearly don't need a slow introduction, but it's still not hard to unlock everything so meh.
I’m sane and I figured it out
@@forsaken696 if you mean you figured out just that it was HP based then I'll point out that I said "exact mechanic" referring to the formula X=(K/12)+1 rounded down. If you mean you figured out that exact formula, then good for you. The "no sane person would..." phrase is an idiom which has grown far less popular over the past couple decades, but is still not to be taken literally.
thanks, i'll try to bring these up in future videos of the series.
@@remydrouant49 what does k represent
I always figured that it didn’t do the same amount of damage every run
Finally present Jorbs got his Channel back from future jorbs
UA-cam Jorbs actually making his own content instead of stealing it from Twitch Jorbs.
Well now he’s past Jorbs and unfortunately I believe future Jorbs once again has the channel 🤷♂️
Idk where present Jorbs is I’m in the past
Half expected Jorbs to say "the rest of the run has been left as an exercise for the reader" when he got the chip and the second calculated gambe on the same floor
As you can see, the solution is trivial. Good night.
Discovered your channel last month and I'm watching all your videos ! I love your thought process and way of explaining things. This series looks promising since i'm on A05 on every character and still learning this beautiful game ! Thanks for the great content !
For whatever it's worth, the automaton minion was guaranteed to take blade dance over the two defends. The starter cards count as a different rarity than commons and get taken at a lower priority. I believe the only thing lower than a starter card on the priority list is a curse. (Edit: you probably already know this, but in case other viewers don't, I thought I'd throw it out there)
Also I second the comment on the game sfx/music. Not sure if that's intentionally not included, but just in case it wasn't, thought I'd mention it ❤
oh true, i didn't think about the starter vs. common rarity distinction! i wonder how often that comes up; the only other place i can think of is in the spirits event, where giving a common will heal you for 5 while a starter has no bonus attached to it.
Such an awesome series! If you don’t want to play all the way to Ascension 20 on each character, wouldn’t mind having a vid just for every 5 Ascensions, thanks for the content!
thinking the same thing
I've got to ~A11 with each character, and I think what's killed me a few times recently is not thinking about making sure certain cards are in the right place when I shuffle. This is something you've been paying a lot of attention to (and pointing out!) in both the Ironclad run and this one, and it's super helpful for me to recognise that that's something to pay attention to.
1:00:04 "The main reason why I'm not taking thinking ahead is honestly that I don't want to click on the card" _clicks on the card_ "oh..."
I'm dying xD
Jorbs thinks so fast that Thinking Jorbs is already 2 steps ahead of Talking Jorbs' current sentence... And the fact that Thinking Jorbs is clicking on a card called "Thinking Ahead" is the icing on the cake lol
Silent is definitely one of those characters where you get to Act 2 and realize that your only damage is Bouncing Flask. Even on A20
Silent is where the game really punches you in the face imo; it took me weeks to beat it in A0 and then I straight up won with Defect on the first try. Watcher also gave me a lot of trouble, but that's just a matter of figuring out what works well together. But I still haven't figured out how you're supposed to win Silent without an infinity deck - and infinity still loses against time eater...
@@n0xure on A20 you face time eater every 2 out of 3 runs on average. even if the deck goes infinite it will usually have to deal with the time eater and the heart having anti-infinite countermeasures.
related to the topic of this video, picking front loaded damage at first is very important. silent's starting deck is really bad against the early game elites and act 1 boss so whatever you can do to actually complete those fights is key. you can't keep taking the cards forever though and eventually have to scale but playing more can give you a feel for when you can stop taking the front loaded damage.
silent is tricky in that it has a lot of things that feel great when they work, but some fights ask you to have a different answer.
this applies in both the damage scaling and defense scaling. Some fights poison is great since you stack it up and just block, while others you need to end the fight far earlier than poison would be super relevant. Similarly footwork + block cards can be great but some fights a well timed malaise/piercing wail/intangible can have a bigger impact on your durability in a given fight.
@@n0xure huge skill issue
@@n0xure After having beat A0 on all 4 characters recently, I feel like beating it on both Silent and Ironclad comes down to simply going for poison and block archetypes respectively, they're easy to build and there's not much that A0 can do against them. Otherwise you're going to have a hard time as a new player. It only took me a couple of runs to beat A0 with Silent because that's how long it took me to go for a poision build, meanwhile Ironclad took me the longest to win of all 4 characters because I just kept avoiding block+body slam. Defect and Watcher took a medium amount of time, I find that they're the ones that simply require you to learn the basics of deck building in order to beat A0.
@@n0xure I found The Silent to be the easiest to beat the game with on the beginner level. Just take every Poison card you see.
A bad habit i picked up from Ironclad, before getting too familiar with Silent was just accepting chip damage. In your second fight you played an extra defend to just block for 1, which is easy to think as not a big deal and for ironclad its not, but its super important with silent. She has so much less sustain you often die from being worn down over multiple fights if your attitude is same as ironclad.
Loving these videos. I find them very relaxing, and nice to listen to your detailed thoughts. I've beaten A20 Heart with the original three characters, but I still learn so much about the game from watching you play A0.
Would you consider talking a bit about each relic as you pick it up? Many hours into the game means you know what calipers does, but a new player would not know that. It can also be an opertunity to talk about why it either changes how you play, or doesnt change how you play.
There are some "overexplained" runs on the channel if you like to get even more depth :)
Definitely one of the stronger Silent decks I’ve seen recently. Crazy that a 30+ card deck looked like it was going infinite (especially after Madness hit Sneaky Strike).
lol did you see the gamble thumbnail deck that jorbs recently played? infinite since act 2 and just steamrolled every opponent without thinking (bandages, too)
@@undeniablySomeGuy there’s been a ton of infinites on the channel lately. jorbs is in the infinite ZONE
What you said about deck size is a growing pain that Yugioh went through. You're allowed 40-60 cards in a Yugioh deck, and for decades 40-42 was considered the correct choice always. Anything more than ~45 was deemed nooby.... Until some innovative players started winning with 60 cards in a "mashup" style of deck with multiple engines.
It comes down to the principle that as long as almost all combinations of 5 cards can get your deck running, it doesn't matter how big the deck is.
that is fascinating, i didn't realize yugioh had that happen.
@@Jorbs Yeah! It shook the competitive community, and "60 card [deck]!" was the clickbait UA-cam title for quite a while.
Thank you for teach us ! my english is bad and i don't understand why you choice decicions. whith this video, is more easy to my.
I love this series a lot! Hope you keep it up!
Next video you can finally show off the power of claw on defect
Looking forward to explaining watcher as I have trouble with decision making on watcher on high acension and have trouble understanding when I make a mistake and when the game just f's you over.
Oh look the UA-cam gods sent me the video I asked about in the Ironclad A0 video. Just to let you know this is not in the How to win at... Playlist. Thanks for doing this series. Appreciate you
Love your first video. I was truly I
Undervaluing true grit. That card is INSANE! Just a heads up! This video for the silent one isn't in the playlist for how to beat slay the spire. I don't know if you were interested in putting it in there for easier transition from one video to the next. I had to hunt down the video and just happen to stumble upon part two (this run). Can't wait to watch the rest!
Holy shit, I wish I could visualize the possibilities of my deck the way you do. I've lost some runs with amazing decks and strong relics.
Wow, that liquid bronze dealt 69 damage vs that hexaghost. I didn't realize liquid bronze was actually quite strong into hexaghost.
Also noticed no game sound in the video not sure if intentional @jorbs if it was ignore me
this help me from me always being reckless at decision making
You forgot to add this video to the "How to win at Slay the Spire" playlist.
This is the series I'm going to show my baby during lunch.
Neat series. I think the vids could use some game sounds and music, though, FWIW.
100% this. Great series, please let's have the game audio as well though.
I love educational content!
"The Importance of Damage" also "My decks don't tend to have a lot of damage in them cuz I don't need a lot of damage"
"[On] The importance of Damage" does not imply that damage is important but rather explains the level of importance, e.g. in this case not so much.
I like neows gift because its a relic you can trade in various events
You got a whale bonus because it’s your second run, it doesn’t look at which character you’re playing.
!dig
I miss mini jorbs
Another deck that would've had some difficulty with Time Eater. I feel like maybe it was worth pointing out the adaptations you didn't have to make. Eventually one of these will face time eater, though.
Cool new series. I think these would benefit from having the game sound recorded.
I agree, even though by now my head just automatically adds it in xD
9:07 he says this event tells you which elite you will fight, but where does it tell you?? I rewatched that part like 20 times and I dont see where it tells you.... am I missing something?
hey jorbs. I think you forgot to put this one into the "how to win..." playlist
Everyone always talks about how Towin, but nobody ever asks why Towin
to be perfectly honest, I didn't realize it was only deca that put dazes in your deck until i heard you say it watching your videos a couple years ago. i thought that the thing deca did was make block (later plated armor too) for them both and the thing donu did was give strength to them both
It is sort of hinted at by the shape :D
@@CeilingPanda ?? what about an octahedron says "dazed"
@@tomjackal5708 Looks similar to sentries, who throw dazes in your deck? Idk
How does endless agony keeos coming back in the same combat if its exhausted?
Poison is king!!!
Jorbs, please check your output levels. Your audio is very quiet. Had to really pump up the volume here just to hear you properly.
(Yep, I've checked my equipment, different devices.)
Cheers.
You just need to be careful that the importance of damage does not become the impotence of damage.
why isn't this in your "How to win at Slay the Spire" playlist?
Okay after watching this I was breezing through the game. Then I run into some slug with a clock. He shut my draw deck down
Enjoying the content. Audio volume still way too low compared to other YT channels.
Agree. Maybe jorts is not willing to parttake in the loudness war.
This video is missing from the how to play playlist
thank you rng for no time eater i guess :D
Cool
Missing the series
Is the game audio off?
Tough bandages or tingsha would've been funny here. Completely unnecessary, but funny.
jorbs it's my birthday :)
May just be my humble opinion but you are too good a player to showcase ascension 0 at this point. Just do the same thing on higher ascension imo, either 10-15 or even 20 your choice. Impact of choices will be more important there, and what matters in mentoring imo the most in these type of videos, is showcasing how these choices actually impact the run heavily or not with direct results. At 0 there is too big a margin for errors too, and I also tend to forget how different the game is at that number.
Maybe, though I think it will be neat to see how the play evolves over time.
he has a lot of those already. his high streak videos are like 3-4 hours of deep analysis
Well this is also good to see as a refreshing video for players who are coming back to New card updates an characters decks changing or a new or changed relic.
Example: I didn't know runic dodecahedron was removed.
In general this should be a good video series for people to Recognize patterns. An just a overall good learning experience for new players
@@boltok9584 yup that much is true too. Don't get me wrong there are always things to learn for everyone and patterns to look out for, no matter what run it is or what ascension level, its Jorbs after all and he will do insane things for sure in the deckbuilding aspect, its just that I feel its even more instructive at higher ascensions cause the danger is even more real. Like I said just my opinion.
@@kobarsos82 o ya I feel you. I often try to think counter view before I agree to something or think along the same lines helps to process what I'm thinking
Woooooooo
;)
As someone new to the game, looking for tips because I'm struggling, your videos are not it. You go so quick, often not explaining what you're doing. Then when you do explain, you sound super condescending.
As a new player myself, it’s been tough to find videos explaining the simple mechanics of the game.
@@hayden3426I would recommend Dr. Incompetent’s beginners guide. Takes his time and overly explains everything. It’s really helped me out especially with knowing what cards to pick at what times.
It would be nice if you stopped talking about A20. Sure it's what's on your mind, but it is irrelevant to the purpose of this video, and probably somewhat disrespectful to new players, aka the target audience of this video.
Disrespectful is definitely the wrong word, if you feel disrespected by a pro player talking about higher difficulty play in comparison then you have an issue. Though I understand your argument that it’s irrelevant. But I like it because I’m slowly building my way up to A20 and appreciate the tips on the way
I vaguely remember it being impossible to get more than one set of unlocks, that is, progress caps just before the second unlock. We'll probably find out if this series ever resumes.
Why no game audio tho like none at all
