Jesus this man can talk. And I mean that as a positive. I always have something playing in the background no matter what I’m doing, yet NL is the only guy who has me continuously focusing on the screen to see what he’s talking about. Top tier banter. Training a decade in the Isaac Mines really shaped him.
I'm truly so impressed with how competent nl as at Slay the Spire. sure there are tiny optimizations here and there but honestly... he's cracked im here to report 25:48 oh yikes that was rough but I will not be a type a chatter whatever he did is automatically most optimal as long as you win king
He needed 4 attacks before he could play the judgement tho, right? Boss at 34 and takes 1 damage per attack. He used his only draw (empty mind) and drew no more attacks so judgement would’ve wiffed.
I’m so for all this content, trying to get good at this game myself and current NL is super entertaining and from the sound of it better at the game than past NL
No one in the history could have imagined how this day would ever end! And guess what? IT'S NOT GONNA END!! Extremely pogged to see Slay the Spire revived for like, the 5th time! Long live the king!
just lucky has great synergy with nirvana, talk to the hand, fasting, duality, golden eye, wave of the hand, weave, and those are just the watcher-exclusive cards/relics. it's like deflect on crack
I’m here for all the Slay the Spire runs…I love the climbs. The Watcher is the only one I haven’t completed a run yet with, struggling with the mindset of swapping between stances, so excited to see how NL does it.
I picked up this game when you started this new series because I loved Balatro so much and it’s been fantastic so far. The watcher is one of the only characters I don’t understand yet so I’m looking forward to seeing how someone pilots that kind of deck!
Update - my first run with the watcher that got to act 3 also beat the corrupt heart on my first try… with how long it took me to do that with the defect I can confidently say that yeah this character is busted
Watching NL has made my defect runs trivial on every ascent yet I still struggle with the watcher finally I'll be able to learn from the best and get past ascension 10
"It's a picture of my daughter. I will say, "So cute" - that's my wife, it's not like, a hostage situation." The swiftness of NL's wit still amazes me.
me: Well, the watcher is boring, but, I am so glad he's going on this journey and we're here with him. also me: *screaming* JUST PLAY THE MIRACLES YOU HAVE THE DAMAGE TO KILL JUST PLAY THEM AFDMSkldajmdlksamklas XD
Just so you know Wallop only gains block per damage it actually does - if part of it is blocked that doesn't count and if you overkill with it you only gain the health that target had left when you hit it
Yeah haha that was so funny how he picked out Wreath of Flame between two Wrath cards even commenting on having 3 miracles in hand. Overall he is doing well though.
I personally struggle with the watcher just because i think its deck is heavily counter balanced by not having a lot of good block(easy), draw or healing. I think it’s also very hard archetype commitment and prone to dead drawing, ESPECIALLY if you’re relying on wrath. it’s not like the defect where you can run like 0 orb synergy then just toss in a bias cognition for free damage. But when you get the perfect draw the watcher is definitely the easiest character to enable 100+ damage in a turn.
I stopped watching every day around SAP spam time and when he cut out most UA-cam content (stream and YT NL are very different) but it’s a blessing to be back and I hear Luna has grown so much

"That's my wife, it's not like a hostage situation." People call him the best punchliner
At the end of last video I literally said out loud "I bet his next one is titled who watches the watcher" and lo and behold I'm an oracle.

We're Slay the Spire guys, of course we're gonna watch the Watcher to a20
Time to learn: with Watcher, you always have lethal (until you don't)
you always have lethal and you're always on lethal
A tip NL Just lucky is actually good. 0 cost attack and scry. And cut through fate is OP
Scry is so broken
just lucky has great synergy with nirvana, talk to the hand, fasting, duality, golden eye, wave of the hand, weave, and those are just the watcher-exclusive cards/relics. it's like deflect on crack
NL Buys omamori and inmeadiatly forgets he has it
That's the whole point of the relic, forget about then boom ur next few curses don't apply and u think the game is broken

Pogged out of my absolute gourd right now for more Slay The Spire
Really appreciate the intro for people that have not played the watcher :)
I'm pogging out of my gourd Slay the Spire Renewed
They are saying its the most scuffed sequencing of all time. With love of course. And such, and so forth.
Dude, really enjoying the vids. Wondering when you're gonna finish a run on the 4th act.
Thank God he's still playing it!
5:59 me pointing to a can of flex seal
38:42 - There is a 1/128 chance to draw that hand with all drawn cards costing 2+ energy. Congratulations.
When he lowered the ascension rank I knew the pogs were about to flow
You used this title three years ago! Thought we would forget, but we didn't
Internally I always referred to Wreath of Flame as "A-Wreath-a Flamelin".

Me. I watch the Watcher.
Pretty good macro on this one, game was very clear about where this run was meant to go admittedly but he didn't miss very many beats at all.
Engaging with the video to show that I enjoy this sh*t
the watcher moment? im gonna be pogging off of my freaking gourd on this one

Just so you know Wallop only gains block per damage it actually does - if part of it is blocked that doesn't count and if you overkill with it you only gain the health that target had left when you hit it
one day he will have a deck full of 0 cost cards and will justify taking snecko eye
Take a shot every time he says Ragnarok
we're slay the spire guys of course we watch the watcher

How can he spend the entire run going on about how pog wrath+wreath+ragnarok is and not play the entire combo 😭
It hurt in a spiritual manner.
Yeah haha that was so funny how he picked out Wreath of Flame between two Wrath cards even commenting on having 3 miracles in hand. Overall he is doing well though.
Divinity gotta be one of my favorite stances 🙏🏾

Slay the Spire dipped in Mama Liz's Watcher oil
Greatest Bag of Prep of all time!
i didn’t thought.
Not playing the judgement you just took to win hurt, but otherwise stellar
I believe he wasn't able to play it as the boss was intangible that turn, so he couldn't deal enough damage to get him to 30 HP
Beat the heart!!!!
It would be cool

NL maybe low ascension climbing could include grabbing the heart relics. Even if you don't win against the heart u ascension rises
