      i had like 3 out of my last 6 runs end like this, the boss makes 2-3 consistent key resists, I get like 2-3 bad trinket rolls in succession, the boss gets 2-3 lucky back-to-back crits with attacks that have a 20% chance, and boom half my team is dead.

    I just had the most insane solo hero experience. I went through the Sprawl, lost 3 to a Shambler, and Hellion managed to almost singlehandedly carry us to the Inn.
    I say almost, because she died to the cult fight SOLEY because Hellion can't hit the third row. I couldn't out damage the block and regen that the altar was spamming onto the axe dude.
    She survived 23 rounds and 5 exultations before finally losing a DD check to the bleed. That one trait that heals at the start at every round prolonged the agony.

      yep when the boss attack crit obliterates plague doctor's entire hp pool, its just GG, happened to me a few times on the tangle boss. similar thing but one time was kind of my fault, i had that cultist trinket where if you take stress you take 1 dmg, so I didn't even get a death door chance. just went from almost full HP to crit boom dead.

      @@nauseousegg6416 sure there's many things that may have helped in hind-sight but this is just the nature of these RNG-heavy games. The whole point of rogue-like games is that the way they are designed, the RNG swings in both directions, and sometimes you will have it easy, and sometimes the boss will crit 3 times in a row. But hopefully most times your run is in-between where skill can play a role. But a lot of times, 'skill' is just what the player tells themself when they get favorable RNG :)

    Best solution to him is using flag and getting that stained trinket that gives like 75% extra hp and -50% dmg. He just tanks every. Single. Hit. Plus the food buffs he gets to just under 100 hp, so sure, you take 15 dmg a swing, but heal like 30 regardless of who heals you. Crit healing 50-60 health is game breaking.

    Occultists first two turns gives a good example of why support abilities need to be busted to be viable. Damage is often guaranteed and the best crowd control is a dead enemy. But if you try to play the control game, you end up rolling the dice for a chance to do something. That's a 40% chance for this asshole who absolutely needs to be Weakened, to instead just make you waste your turn.
    Also, Prelude is bullshit.
