1 - having all the "bottled" relics in one run is INSANE what are the odds 2 - it's very nice finally being able to see all the orbs 3 - this was one of the greatest runs i have ever seen. masterfully played.
I don’t think anyone has mentioned how unbelievably lucky the cards were on this run, the sheer number of rares in the deck and how many more he saw & turned down is simply ridiculous. I have never seen such crazy luck go unacknowledged
Only criticism I would say, is that NL undervalues the Defragment upgrade too much. It's one of the best individual upgrades in the entire game. Other than that, I'm loving the series.
@@BanakaiGamesI'd have to see the run again, but Amplify is usually a trap card, it can slow a deck down by being a dead draw and it quickly becomes obsolete in you deck when you play all your powers. You'd only want it with immense draw and energy or Runic Pyramid, anything else and it's mostly a detriment.
Defrag upgrade doubles the value of the card. It's like always playing it with echo form (better actually if you want to be pedantic about Time Eater). Enelle heed our words.
NL, just wanted to say you're awesome and I've really enjoyed this return to slay the spire pog trip. Keep up the great work on the way to ascension 20
I had a totally original ironclad deck centered on runic pyramid and forethought+ today which I know I'm never gonna see again, was really sad to end that run
@@t00nbinknah the innate curses started to go crazy once his starting hand was over 5 cards from all the innate cards. Gambling chip made it into a scuffed bag of prep
@@YourAdHere4 Yeah it did go crazy after he found not one but both other bottles. It still felt like he was wasting the incredibleness of gambling chip, but it indeed came together after his starting hand size increased to 7
NL: Takes Electrodynamics at the start of the game Also NL: Proceeds to exclusively add frost orbs (outside of Pandora's box) ALSO NL: Wins run with Thunder Strike
The power of pandora's box -- you had pretty bad luck on your transforms but it was still strong because anything is better than a basic strike/defend.
definitely - pandora's box almost always worth taking over non-energy boss relics if you haven't already removed several S/Ds, especially on Defect with so many great common cards
There was an upgraded defrag for 19 and a double up possibility... I would have taken those in a heartbeat but he didn't even consider it for one sec...
with a full lighting run i feel like having more defrags would’ve been beneficial. also amplify and storm were pretty good choices considering the amount of useful powers in your deck
Slay the Spire is so good that was such a fun deck. NL not really valuing defrag at all despite it hard carrying him continues to be a pretty crazy B plot as well. I'm sure he will figure out how strong it is sooner or later
Something about the way NL builds his decks is just so... Yummy, when it works out correctly anyway. Like, I can cook up a pretty sick deck, but it just doesn't hit quite the same way.
My man gotta stop sleeping on Consume. I get it, I also used to just completely discount it because why would you want to get rid of orb slots? But actually, it's kinda insane to have reusable focus gain as long as you have some way to gain orb slots. Even without that just getting 2 focus and going down to 2 orbs is amazing by itself.
rare Machine Learning W. actually really enabled Thunder Strike with rebound+zap+turbo+charge battery+static discharge, upgrade would have gone wild on bosses
Camera orb obstruction acknowledged, amen.
He's the world's most humble streamer.
Gives me so much hope
THANK YOUUUUUUUU

Taking electrodynamics over echo form is the character development we've been waiting for
The 3 innate curses tho lmao
yah similar to wraith form is an incredible card that might as well be a curse in act 1.
Nah when he finally just takes Biased Cognition over Echo Form, *that* will be the character development we've been waiting for

Never playing Defrag first when invoking orbs and then playing it immediately after is why I keep watching.
Facts. It’s the reason he caused me to put hundreds of hours into the game
If we're being pedantic, it is "evoking", rather than invoking ;p

RIP upgraded defrag in the last shop
Well he had 2 focus potions, it wouldn't have made that much of a difference. but yea, for basically free it would have still been worth it.
@@cptKamina Still the best card in the game vs Time Eater specifically
I wouldve insta-bought the defrag and duped it as well idk why he doesn't rate it that much

Anyone else start playing sts again recently because of NL?

Never played it before just started a week ago
Quite literally bought the game cuz of NL

I was hurting when he didn't buy an upgraded Defrag for 19gold and not dollys mirror it for another 79 😂
One more criticism: he completely ignored amplify even though it would be crazy with the powers he has
@@BanakaiGamesI'd have to see the run again, but Amplify is usually a trap card, it can slow a deck down by being a dead draw and it quickly becomes obsolete in you deck when you play all your powers.

@@BanakaiGames Nah, he only had defrag that would really profit from it and that's not enough to justify a permanent card.

Living for this series rn
same here
I don't know what I did to deserve it
Thunder Strike being unupgraded all the time even tho it was the main boss killer made me a lil Sadge but we won so LETSGO
Thunder strike upgrade is kind of bad, is the issue. Only 2 extra damage per lighting.

38:33 love the play of 2nd to last floor purchase bottled flame to make bulls eye innate and then discard it with gambling chip.
Having all that draw and he gives up/passes on extra energy from Turbo hurt me
Smooth. One of those runs where everything synergizes with everything else
NL: Takes Electrodynamics at the start of the game
Also NL: Proceeds to exclusively add frost orbs (outside of Pandora's box)
ALSO NL: Wins run with Thunder Strike
NL playing STS? Yeah... I'm obsessed with it
Floor 0 electrodynamics into several encounters with multiple enemies is truly NL gaming.
The power of pandora's box -- you had pretty bad luck on your transforms but it was still strong because anything is better than a basic strike/defend.
definitely - pandora's box almost always worth taking over non-energy boss relics if you haven't already removed several S/Ds, especially on Defect with so many great common cards
@@KingHoboVl transforming a card is random so actually rares are just as likely as commons from pandoras box
There was an upgraded defrag for 19 and a double up possibility... I would have taken those in a heartbeat but he didn't even consider it for one sec...
Besides the defrag *minor* disrespect, you have improved so much at StS! Can't wait to see you play StS2 when it drops!
Tempest with electrodynamics goes hard
Not taking inserter physically hurt me, this is great content
Inserter would have been great vs Time Eater, but the other relics were better in general
I enjoy everytime i open yt and and see mister nl posting another sts video

Beautiful run! I hope he plays some other characters too once he gets tired of Defect (or beats A20, whichever comes first)

that was a super fun run!

We love our STS videos, don't we folks?
i can see orb 3 the series has evolved
my like broke the realm of the third digit. very satisfying
Last shop --> buys focus potion --> doesnt buy and dupe defrag+
He legitimately did not need the extra defrags. The run was already locked up, even without the extra focus potion.
focus potion is way better than defrag+ when you're only worried about one fight. Duping seek+ was probably the move
Loving every minute of it, Jerry
Takes meal ticket and rests at bonfire instead of going to shop w 500g 😢
with a full lighting run i feel like having more defrags would’ve been beneficial. also amplify and storm were pretty good choices considering the amount of useful powers in your deck
It only took since slay the spire release for NL to develop like this.
Still waiting for a20h kill on every character
In my eyes thunderstrike is really only takable after you already have all the puzzle pieces for an electo orb build
Slay the Spire is so good that was such a fun deck. NL not really valuing defrag at all despite it hard carrying him continues to be a pretty crazy B plot as well. I'm sure he will figure out how strong it is sooner or later

He did it! Orbs visible! Great run too, although a duped Defrag would have gone hard IMO.

we love runs that were won from turn 0 dont we folks
My man gotta stop sleeping on Consume. I get it, I also used to just completely discount it because why would you want to get rid of orb slots?

rhyming title, immediate arousal
thank u for assisting me during a wlw breakup
Spire is a great game and the vibes are soaring.
The disrespect for Thunder. Was yelling at the screen
such a lovable character this guy
almost never see the gambling chip big innate hand combo and thunder strike run to boot, gotta love egg sts
Holy shit that was a great run. 6 innate cards and gambling chip😂
Goated content, we need more
Just imagine if the title was, "It's great to be innit!" 😂😂 I'm like.. I'm like... when did NL become British!

You're making me want to play Slay the Spire again...
It makes me so mad when he plays zap before defrag
