I skipped the last elite to go for the shop (hoping for more collectors, which didn't pan out - ended with 10 of them) and an additional question mark room (which turned out to be an elite fight, and gave me Mystery Machine). This also made me skip the last regular fight which explains the 2 points difference. I perfected only 4/12 elites, missed combo and speedster but perfected the first boss and got shiny, stuffed, overkill and pauper.
Going for an extra shop instead completed some of my collector sets today and I scraped into Money Money with 1002 gold by fighting another regular. So, er, you never can tell.
You are exactly right on the black star call - I ended up on 24 relics. The odd offset of the score was because I somehow missed out an elite on the 3rd act, (not sure how) so missed 30 points there, but did 2 more regular fights for a 28 point difference. Didn't even get close to combo, next time I will try your idea of taking corruption (if it is offered) and removing later.
Against the Gremlin Nob you said something like "Oh, let's just see what Shrug It Off gives me" which left me thinking about the time I've spent/wasted checking Frozen Eye for how best to line up Warcry and Havoc... I got Shiny without Black Star, chose Philosopher's Stone because Snecko was being ungenerous, and managed Collector (9). Took the Orichalcum to go with set of Metallicize because the defence offerings were patchy but True Grit, Second Wind and Feel No Pain did the heavy work. Nothing tempted me away from Pauper. Perfected 6 Elites and Not sure my replay of Champ was fair play but Pain was my best friend today, because scaling came down to Rupture with Pain / Combust / Bloodlet and getting below 50% health in regular fights to exploit Red Skull. Going from 4 to 14 STR in one turn made all the Heavy Blades most agreeable. I also cooked some splendid meals.
Died to reptomance - nothing I could do - snecko was not kind to me today. blocking wasn't good, damage wasn't good, card costs weren't good - that trifecta can sometimes be insurmountable.
this was hard, only one elite and one boss and missed speed modifier, almost died a few times also unlucky with collectors, 6 sets of 3 and 4 sets of 2 ... :(
to he honest I thought my score would be s bad, because I failed to perfect the slime boss and the time eater, idk ironclad just has trouble defending and insanity where you have to pick stuff up for collectors doesn't help, somehow miraculously perfected the act II boss though, and a bunch of elites, 8 collectors overall and pauer, just overkill, no combo despite corruption in some fights with enchiridion.
32:00 Or you can use it and kill with the cleave :)
The on-point decisions saved the day. GG!
