If a defrag+ makes each frost orb give 2 more block and also gives the awakened one +2 strength, it evens out and often reaches a net positive even against multiattacks. Other powers like biased cog have similar benefits, and loop helps immensely as long as you keep frost in front. It is worth noting that if he had only 3 orb slots, the build would have suffered a fair bit
whale : "this game is heavily RNG" player : "no it isn't, it's all skill, now change my starting relic" *pulls snecko eye* whale : "did I stutter?" a meme I saw somewhere. . . snecko eye and dead branch are so powerful because of how RNG they are. instead of resisting the RNG, you embrace it. I dunno how to feel about that, how some the most powerful decks i have seen, revolve around snecko eye and/or dead branch. my very first heart kill was as ironclad with the dead branch and i had no idea how powerful it was, I just did it to mess around because i thought it was funny.
Are you going to do occasional runs of your most recent/complete(?) mod character once he is finished, or do you plan to just do a few one off runs only?
So I just finished watching the episode of Next Generation "Cause and Effect" where Data has to send them the message of "3" everywhere and I saw that donation for 3.33 hahaha trippy..
idk if you're memeing but the odds of that happening are incredibly low, and it's not necessarily even game losing to get a hand full of three cost cards. you get potions to help on rough turns, some turns you can just pass and be alright, some single cards can mitigate an entire turn (intangible, buffer, piercing wail, impervious, vault) and you may have active powers/relics that bail you out (anchor/cleet/captain's wheel, corruption, barricade/calipers, incense burner, frost orbs, plated armor, etc.) literally all of these examples were off the top of my head. you usually hit a few bad hands throughout a snecko run. it's still one of the best relics in the game in large part because of its consistency.
1:06:00 lol, "if it's the multi-attack we have to like, try" proceeds to win off the thorns, the multi-attack would have also died from thorns, game is too easy
Maybe you should do a "how good is snecko eye really" Spire Talks video, just based on the first 6 minutes of this video. Then you could link to it with a channel command when people unironically ask if it's bad or not.
15:35 Am very curious why he decided to skip the cards there. Is there anything negative about reboot that makes skip better than taking it? I guess the re-shuffle of discard pile can reduce the odds for drawing what you want, but this seems a very minimal downside compared to what it offers - drawing new cards for free when you don't have what you need in your current hand.
It's probably bcs it is a dead card during the first cycle because shuffling the discard pile is bad when he's looking for the defrags and electrodynamics to quickly clean up mobs or elites. I forgot whether he's gotten the electro or not at this point but jorbs often plans ahead unless pressured by an immediate dire situation. Some examples would be his skipping a lot of charge battery though its a decent act 1 defense card. I might be wrong though but this is what I think of it.
take a look at your discard pile on turn 2/3/4 every now and then, you'll notice it's often a LOT worse than your draw pile. not just missing the strong powers/exhaust cards, but also full of dazes/burns/slimes etc.
gremlin art was great, only way to improve it would be to have fat gremlin looking through the hole all scared cuz the fat gremlin omission made me really sad
Hey Jorbs, I had an insane run last night with the defect. It was an infinite instance with unceasing top. Had a deck of 47 cards containing two upgraded aggregates, a regular aggregate, 3 upgraded turbos, an All for One, A fission, and roughly 4 of each of claw, beam cell, and go for the eyes. Also had zap and dualcast upgraded. Got the heart down to 34 health before the infinite ended when I drew a status card.
The conversation re: snecko eye at the beginning; jorbs is talking about it drawing cards, but I thought it just randomized card costs. Am I missing something?
I'll be honest, I feel that. I often find that I have no idea how some runs ended because I fall asleep in act 4 and wake up to a new video as he's selecting a starting bonus. That said, I've ended up improving my understanding of the game quite a bit compared to before I started watching.
Nir Peled I think it has less to do with the content but just how we’re watching the vod through youtube and partly of how his personality is. The game isn’t particularly engaging to a passive observer, so it’s up to the streamer-viewer and viewer-viewer interaction to keep things alive. Take away the live chat and you basically lose a chunk of that. Jorbs also doesn’t have an ecstatic personality and personally most of his appeal is from the fact that he is quiet. Imo it’s perfect to just tune to his stream/videos and do your daily work on the foreground lol.
Can some1 explain the logic for not taking 0 mana Draw cards when they are offered for free, like the reboot at act 1? There is something I'm not seeing there....
Because they are bad cards. You need attacks early on in order to deal with Gremlin Nob and to deal with the Act One hallway fights as efficiently as possible
Dear streamer, I understand that the mechanics of Slay the Spire might be difficult to grasp, especially for the newer player, but the boss "The Awakened One" gains 2 strength every time you play a power at this difficulty level. You may wish to change your strategy to accommodate for this fact in the future.
Not if you're going to play Defragment or Loop. The 2 strength doesn't do as much as gaining 2 block per frost orb or tripling the effect of an orb, so it's perfectly possible (as you saw in this video) to just outscale the Awakened One while still playing powers.
@@dearozero3631 OH!!! That makes so much sense! thank you! I didn't actually know that was what it would do, I don't think I've ever taken it, always just skipped!
As an avid Slay the spire viewer, sneko eye runs are probably the most unfun to watch as it looks like it's all luck on whether your high cost cards get cheap. It's pretty boring to watch compared to a watcher or defect run.
I really can't beat the heart in normal mode. I always watch your run on youtube and trying to defeat heart with defect but it's impossible for me. I play on ps4
33:15 man why you gotta say shit like that. I like your content and I understand it can be annoying but when you get all passive aggressive it just doesn't seem like you. Give chat a bit of a break they are there to support you
Someone in chat:
"So the trick to Awakened One is to play so many powers it can't even."
I nearly died
I did that
That’s the joke lol
"Collector (1)"
...Spire, you had ONE JOB.
17:55 check out the speech bubble, the courier is a relic that looks like a rat with a package on it, the merchant gets his goods via rat travel lmao
"Maybe its because i havnt been righteous enough"
Damn man i just woke up
The wildest awakened one fight i've ever seen
"Chat I feel... Like you are saying dumber things"
Ah I found it. The best video opening.
I'm really thankful that chat was there for you in your time of need. Now you truly understand how an Attack Potion works.
Ah, yes. I was wondering when the Defragment run would appear.
Defragment + Storm deck with a mummified hand was my ace run.
Let's give credit where credit's due for this run. Thorns with the final kill.
I saw a person say "biased pog" and my first thought was:
It is important to me that it be pronounced "Biased Pognition"
am I the only person who calls this card "BASED cognition"? xd
Jakub Łaba based pognition

Snecko is mostly good because it draws two more cards on top of being an energy relic.
"Fragging out" has never been so literal.
10:54 Saying things like that are just too sweet.
youtube jorbs' face conveys schadenfreude in its purest form
Chat 1: Defrag is bad
Chat 2: Defrag is good for reasons
Char 3: There is a point at which Defrag is bad,
Are you going to do occasional runs of your most recent/complete(?) mod character once he is finished, or do you plan to just do a few one off runs only?
i always get exactly the opposite of this: I end up getting 1 focus max after getting electrodinamics and capacitor+ act 1
So I just finished watching the episode of Next Generation "Cause and Effect" where Data has to send them the message of "3" everywhere and I saw that donation for 3.33 hahaha trippy..
Snecko eye is good until your entire hand costs 3 energy

@@Jorbs Oh, I could have just looked. Sorry for the ignorance lol, I feel like twitch chat now.
Awesome reply!
So im new to this game... why does his block just double sometimes? Is it a relic?
Awakened one had a chance until the 2nd echo form showed up
I'm just personally not a fan of sneko eye. I understand why it's good but I really dont like the randomness of having random energy costs.
Chaotic Revenge
At least you admit that you’re wrong.
Even tho I see why under most situations it is a net positive, it just stresses me tf out
@@ImortalZeus13 how is he wrong for stating an opinion... he never said snecko isnt good, just that he doesnt like the randomness..

@@andrewwang7699 lol debunked. Maybe he just wasn't clear about what he was saying.
What does Jorbs say after someone subscribes? I cannot comprehend that
meanwhile, my broke ass goes floors 1-50 without ever even SEEING a Defrag...let alone be able to acquire 7
The conversation re: snecko eye at the beginning; jorbs is talking about it drawing cards, but I thought it just randomized card costs. Am I missing something?
its upside is that you draw +2 cards every turn, the randomized cost is the downside
Jorbs, I'm really trying, but I can't watch you for more than 20 minutes at a time. You just make me too sleepy

I watch old videos to bed and new videos in the midday and if my body decides its nap time, who am I to say it’s wrong?
Thanks to this I read every StS card in his voice
I love his vids for that, I always watch a run right before bed, jorbs voice is very calming
when you said that orbs are broken my mind was like "everything is broken in one shape or form"
especially claw :)

Because they are bad cards. You need attacks early on in order to deal with Gremlin Nob and to deal with the Act One hallway fights as efficiently as possible
Floor 51 - Jorbs becomes Awakened.
Snecko isn't bad but it doesn't really make for interesting runs to watch
yeah there is no real "planning ahead" since you just try to play each hand at the best cost, and RNG
but it wins, so i guess it's fine?
Disagree
Snecko Eye mitigates the upside of Strike

Sneko eye is obviously strong. Also really takes the fun out of the game, so I almost never pick it.
Go to hecko mr. Snecko
2 consumes+ 2 capcitors is both better and easier to find, but the amount of luck to get any cards 8 times is pretty insane
I mean, I can see sneko eye being good, I just got screwed over by it so many times I no long trust it.
WTF Jorbs..... Secko eye isnt as bad as you say....
Use attack potion!
Kinda miss the youtube exclusive runs tbh
No no, sneko bad.
Snecko eye hates me. Always 2-3 cost cards. I cant remember how long its been since i saw a 0 from snecko.
Unpopular opinion: snecko eye is fun and good for the game
Capacitor banned card this run
As an avid Slay the spire viewer, sneko eye runs are probably the most unfun to watch as it looks like it's all luck on whether your high cost cards get cheap. It's pretty boring to watch compared to a watcher or defect run.
Sir I'm gonna need you to drop that defragment card

Honestly Defect Gold cards feel pretty shit mostly... There are some good ones but most feel Eh...

My sneko eye nerf :you draw one additional card.
Optional confusion change. Rather than random 0-3 it's 25% card cost -1, 50% normal, 25% card cost +1
