Taking apopteosis with coffee dripper, not upgrading eruption in the first act, taking astrolabe instead of pandora while having apop. This man is unorthodox
Fringe situation, but if you have miracles, conjure blade, and an insight, and your draw pile is at 0 or 1 you can use all but one miracle to blade, than insight to guarantee the expunger!

I think it's pretty funny to see how cracked he was at playing Defect and how 'less than optimal' he is at the Watcher, a character often considered the best in the game by a wide margin.
Watcher is the most powerful, sure, but also a feast or famine character, because it punishes mistakes like staying in wrath with no stance exits. And, boy, does NL ever make mistakes 😂😂😂
Nah, doesn't work like that. Establishment only works on cards that have the retain keyword, (and cards that you meditate back into your hand or well-laid plans) meaning cards that stay in your hand past the discard phase. Runic pyramid technically doesn't retain cards, you just don't have a discard phase anymore.
Oh no. As he climbs ascension. He is starting to really get attached to the less consistent cards. Pressure points, conjure blade, ignoring stance dancing in general, which is the strongest strategy.
I literally cannot hear him say talk to the hand without hearing Hawk Tuah. Am I going insane
Embrace it, insanity was 13 ascensions ago on a different character
he's farming it too
Talk Tuah the Hand! Block on that thang!
Hawk Tuah is a spell

Astrolabe over pandoras when he has apotheosis is torturing the type A in me
Bro then to go ahead and take busted crown with ecoplasm
came to the comment section immediately after he did that, NL what the actual fuck man lmao
he criminally underrates pandora's, it's arguably the best boss relic
Well there is an argument to be made that he might need those defends in his deck - until he astrolabes them instead of his strikes 😂😂😂

Taking Astrolabe is one thing. Removing most of your armor gain when you cannot rest is some next level play.
The type A urge to comment on the transform 3 defends when he can't rest and then immediately saying he needs more block is strong
This is still a type A comment believe it or not
I was thinking the exact same thing lmao

how so?
Never seen a man take pressure points voluntarily. It’s a sight to behold.
we love slay the spire
one of these days NL will accidentally pick establishment and realize it's a good card
He had it at one point and ended up giving it up at the "store a card" event. Then ran back into it on a later run and didn't want it back lol.

I'm a type B but tbh this episode almost made me a type A. 😂😂😂
I still believe in him and enjoy the ride! Go NL ❤
I mean, there is no need for faith, he already got A20 with Watcher. And you can enjoy the video while being baffled by NL's choices and missplays 😅
Bronze Automaton been real quiet since Iron Automaton dropped
Can you imagine willingly taking broken crown over pyramid 👀
Astrolabe over Pandora's with Apotheosis already upgraded. Peak
This man plays Spire like my parents play retirement. Avoid all early investments because they seem risky, wonder why you're so far behind at the end.
Also he skips every card he deems "unworthy" even while losing. Better keep drawing strikes, defends and ascender's bane i guess.
I love him for it.
I love him for it. I hate him for it. I love him for it. I hate him for it. Maybe I shouldn't watch this before zzz time @@Thr111ce

NL’s the kind of guy to have 5 different Isaac playlists, but none playlists for Slay the Spire
there is a 664 episode slay the spire playlist on this channel lol
sadly it doesn't include any of these 2024 runs. but a fan made one exists.
3 minutes in and he already skipped a deus ex machina this is gonna be good
Edit: hoo boy the astrolabe into lose combo was slick
I'm new to NL.... Is this like a challenge where he makes every wrong decision and tries to see how far he can get, proving how broken the watcher is?
8 seconds uploaded 😂
He’s washed
that first run was my kinda luck lol
Mods next?
why would they say this
Of course we're washed, we're millennials
no suspense with a title like that
He's washed
cardboard tuah recycle that thing
Playing too fast for this own good again, seeing the act 2 boss twice in 30 minutes is testament to that.
Yes, it has been a constant feature of the series.
2 other characters left…. Pls the slay the spire is awesome
He's playing poorly on purpose huh
Always take pressure points when you need scaling
Question for the StS egg heads: Runic Pyramid and Establishment is broken right?
Nah, doesn't work like that. Establishment only works on cards that have the retain keyword, (and cards that you meditate back into your hand or well-laid plans) meaning cards that stay in your hand past the discard phase. Runic pyramid technically doesn't retain cards, you just don't have a discard phase anymore.
@@Paradoxikality Ahhhh, boo.
you're not washed ryan...
Oh no. As he climbs ascension. He is starting to really get attached to the less consistent cards. Pressure points, conjure blade, ignoring stance dancing in general, which is the strongest strategy.
See, that's whete you're wrong. He has no attachment to anything, makes little card evaluation and just picks whatever his feels directs.
