Typical Watcher playthrough: seek stance dance, stay in wrath hoping next draw is the one, die, stay in calm doing no damage, die, scramble through act 2 and somehow create enough synergy to win, misplay, die. Yet the egg prevails. And I'm loving every minute of it.
It is always humbling to me when playing this game where some runs can fly past the first boss with no issue, to only then immediately get thrashed on the next floor by a couple of birds
Apparition would be a good thing to mess with at some point, especially if you can get them upgraded. Nothing says "won run" like having five stacks of Intangibility.
I'm usually too much of a coward to take the Apparitions but with Watcher it can be an absolute no-brainer because it's much easier to have the extra energy to play them and it completely negates the downside of Wrath
@elianicolettesnow512 ok so apparition basically reads "take no damage this turn" which means you just get to scale into your powers for free in 90% of battles then you have all of your powers up once you run out of intangible and should be just steamrolling at that pt
Totally correct reasoning that molten egg partially reduced the drawback of fusion hammer, deck is focused on a 3 cost attack, takes calling bell for no extra energy Curses are also really bad, like he nailed it when he said "maybe removing bad cards is good so I draw my good cards more". Adding curses is as detrimental as removing strikes and defends, which is crazy almost vital and should be done at nearly every shop. Curses are actually even worse when you consider they could be normality or pain.
Metamorphis cards would technically cost 0 this combat, but when you draw them they'd still get a reassigned cost from Snecko Eye so functionally they wouldn't when you can play them.
Stance dancing 101: -upgrade Eruption to make it less expensive to pivot from calm to wrath -Rushdown and Mental Fortress are your best friends -sell your starter Strikes and Defends. Pandora's Box isn't too crazy on the Watcher either, so long as you've got some powers or relics to compensate from losing your blocking ability -optional: upgrade Vigilance because as it stands, it's worse defensively than playing two Defends, even with it being a stance changer
Biggest thing that helped me get better at the watcher was learning that empty fist goes from 9 damage to 14 on an upgrade making is 28 damage in wrath lol
I stopped myself from being a type1 gamer and I'm glad cuz I gotta respect NL thugging it out and learning the process without looking up tier guides or binging baylorlord
Probably wouldn't have seen it with you drawing so much of your deck turn to turn, but omniscience plus omniscience is very good. Every time you play it, try to play the omniscience in your draw pile, then the next one, etc--let's you play a ton of cards because they keep doubling each other.
Hi, rare commenter, hope you are well, if i may id like to advise to allow yourself to calculate the number and do the math, you are very capable of doing it fast and it should be fun for you (and the viewers)! Thanks!
I just made it to 30 mins where he said he beat STS on A20 as the watcher way back. I figured bro was clean with it as soon as I saw how much faster he moved the cards compared to me when I unlocked her. My 🐐 is not washed he is always peaking. 🙏🏾

Yeah its basically an auto take event before it goes down to 3 apparition and even then its still nice

it also prevents death from Blasphemy if you have 2 intangible😎

Stance dancing 101:
-upgrade Eruption to make it less expensive to pivot from calm to wrath
-Rushdown and Mental Fortress are your best friends
-sell your starter Strikes and Defends. Pandora's Box isn't too crazy on the Watcher either, so long as you've got some powers or relics to compensate from losing your blocking ability
-optional: upgrade Vigilance because as it stands, it's worse defensively than playing two Defends, even with it being a stance changer

NL must know when my lunch break is with the time he be releasing these new episodes
most of my watcher builds end up either being stance dance or scry weave fate spam just because they're so easy to pilot
I stopped myself from being a type1 gamer and I'm glad cuz I gotta respect NL thugging it out and learning the process without looking up tier guides or binging baylorlord

He got me super into this game. That being said, i hate the watcher😂

Mental gymnastics is what he's doing playing the watcher
Once NL realises skip is the best option almost every time as watcher, you will all be sorry.
