my guy has nilrys and snecko and has the audacity to say "were kind of getting an idea for how the deck looks." the deck looks like a slot machine and im wearing cherry tinted glasses baby
I'm already calling it. He lost due to misplaying echo form edit :... it was not due to echo form at all ! Also would he have not killed if he echoed streamline then all for oned it
Damn that last battle was painful Double up on the streamline and then strike dual cast rebound, all for one, all for one would have brought back strike streamline and dual cast and I think he would’ve died. At least 68 damage vs his 65 But that is semantics. We love you egg, and I always enjoy watching you tackle the spire
Fun fact: Cauldron has one of the highest win rates in the game. This is because people typically only buy if if they're really ahead and want to find some great potions.
It's amazing to see Northernlion improve so quickly and learn. The one glaring blind spot i see in his decision making is undervaluing orb synergies, i don't think he ever picked up consume/capacitor (although those are pretty bad act 1 imo) and definitely never picked loop. Also Defrag is just always good, and an amazing upgrade. I hope it will click at some point that the defects powers scale multiplicative between orb slots, loops and focus.
Hes gotten so much better at the game, but still doesnt get that if a lightning orb procs at least 2 times, its better than a strike (on single targets)
This run is the perfect example of why I swore off Snecko Eye for the rest of eternity after trying it out like 20 runs and just getting screwed by RNG
27:44 A possible play here is Seek the Streamline -> Hologram the Streamline -> Rebound the Streamline. That'd do 100 dmg worth of streamlines after you play it again the next turn.
31:00 cute play to get echo in hand is to play ascenders bane (with blue candle) to take 1 damage and proc puzzle drawing the very unlucky last card of the deck
I wasnt sure about taking the seek over the data disk in the first shop but it seemed to pay off pretty well gor you! Honestly if the gremlin leader fight went better this deck probably beats the heart eventually
I don't think you can get a rare cqrd from the whale dude at the beginning. Apparently, thechance for a rare card starts at -2%, goes up when you see a common card, and resets when you are offered a rare.
I've started playing StS again and I'm getting nerves while trying ascensions for the first time. Turns out NL is making it look easier than it is for an idiot like me and I'm getting the yips. 😭
I’ve never played slay the spire, so I have literally zero idea what any of the relics do because NL never hovers over lol. The only way I know if one is good is if he gets excited.
"I take a seek cause it's hard to beat". With Data Disk right there. Never to be seen again Edit: "early electrodynamics" "early creative AI" hoping for Nilrys RNG = path to victory
I picked up this game on the app store after NL called it the best phone game in existence, and I have to agree it’s pretty good. However, I refuse to play as the defect on account of wanting these episodes to remain chill fall-asleep to ASMR, cause if I start understanding what he’s doing beyond a surface level I’m just going to start having Opinions while trying to honk shoes and that would make me mad.

it was not due to echo form at all !

This is surely just a run of expedience.

Try recontextualizing more, -2
This guy used his potential to do the funniest thing of all time
The awkward laugh to run time ratio in this episode is crazy
he needs to respect turbo more, the slay the spire prodigy guy on youtube always takes turbo
rarely has much downside with enough card draw, agreed
When he already had 2 X cost cards in the deck, it was a no brainer
Type A
I wonder if this run will have Compile Driver, Electrodynamics, Echo Form, Cool Headed, Hologram, Streamline, Glacier, Core Surge, and Reboot
"Tis better to appear a fool than to open one's deck and remove all doubt" Bro is genuinely witty
in this case, "bro" is mark twain
@@christianj2361 I'm familiar with the original quote, the wit I'm referring to is NL's clever editing of the quote to fit StS.
I'm impressed by how much he has improved! And the commentary on top as usual. And I love watching StS
Damn that last battle was painful

rebounding that streamline hurt me, because I 100% knew he was gonna do it.

Hello to the gamers ...
Insanely cinematic ending
Truly goated start to the video, he's hitting all the IBS-core numbers
As a Sikh I'm glad he takes the time to consider how I'm doing each turn
35 min... what does it mean...
The rebound play was too perfect you can’t say he doesn’t lose with panache
Hes gotten so much better at the game, but still doesnt get that if a lightning orb procs at least 2 times, its better than a strike (on single targets)
Dude, I sat down, dinner in the oven, came straight here to get my daily Ryan the Spire hit,... nothing... refreshed... Praise the sun!
If you have two X cost cards that turbo mighty juicy. Will stop whining now. Sick run! :)
remember last episode when he said "It was a misplay, but an inconsequential misplay"? We may see what a consequential misplay looks like LOL
Spoiler alert: we do
Literally yelled and held my head in my hands in despair for that ending. We've all been there.
35 min run? my gourd is cracked with overflowing pogs
I am loving this return to Slay the Spire
Mufasa when Scar push him off the edge
*Looks at timer* "Hmm, must be a speed run*
*Nilry's codex* "Oh no"

That ending makes me feel better. Happens often to me 🤣
27:44 A possible play here is Seek the Streamline -> Hologram the Streamline -> Rebound the Streamline. That'd do 100 dmg worth of streamlines after you play it again the next turn.
Mans single handedly rebuilt the Antarctic in that last fight
Missing out on the free 40 damage of Streamline All for one combo, is pretty rough.
31:00 cute play to get echo in hand is to play ascenders bane (with blue candle) to take 1 damage and proc puzzle drawing the very unlucky last card of the deck
The best part about watching games I’m less familiar with is I don’t notice any misplays and can pog freely
he always gets obsessed with one strategy. snecko eye should not always be taken just because you have one expensive card
You know he's obsessed with it, HEEEEELP, HEEEELP MEEEE, HEEEEELP
It was honestly the only thing keeping this deck afloat though
every time NL says “finish the job” I hear Netanyahu and it’s really jarring
he disrespects turbo and double energy so much
Begging this man to just consider taking a leap. a single leap. just block some damage, it'll be okay
11:31 Eddie Merckx at Giro D'Italia
we're guys, of course we
My opinion on this run: there is such a thing as too many glaciers.
NL is truly the brute force genetic algorithm of the Defect
He's the OS for the Creative AI
Skipping Lightning strike multiple times when you started with Tempest is criminal
4:43 floor 9 data disk back-envelope-math: ~20 encounters left * ~5 turns * ~2.5 orb actions per turn = 250 damage for 0 mana and no extra card
And obviously this number can scale way up if you build more for orbs with capacitor, ball lightning, etc
reinforced body been putting in triple overtime in my decks too. they secretly buffed the vibes, it's not any stronger it just feels way more playable
the rebound heard around the world
I was waiting for the moment of how could i do this to me
I wasnt sure about taking the seek over the data disk in the first shop but it seemed to pay off pretty well gor you! Honestly if the gremlin leader fight went better this deck probably beats the heart eventually
Love how good he seems to think streamline is
Back at it again with the runny spires
I don't think you can get a rare cqrd from the whale dude at the beginning. Apparently, thechance for a rare card starts at -2%, goes up when you see a common card, and resets when you are offered a rare.
the madman won with 1 hp and killed his opponent by exactly 1 hp of overkill o.o

Real Merv moment at the end when he played the rebound
Even with Snecko eye, you still need some damage in the deck 😂
Consider my Spire to be Slain
Snecko eye was a crazy pick 😂
Catching this one fresh. StS let’s go!!!
This is a dark day for gamers, thats for sure

Holy that's a fun throw
I wonder what a blizzard could have done ! You needed damage and you were chunking thru frost orbs !
35 minutes? we in for a doozy
isnt upgraded tempest much better than upgraded zap or is it just me
it depends on how many times you're cycling through your deck since tempest exhausts. generally though i think you're right.
30:39 Never punished
It was great episode DONT SKIP you bozos
what a rough missplay to end it on
The rebound 🙃
35 minutes we are either so back or its so over lol
Honestly I've been there before. Great run either way
