The thing about baalor that I admire the most is how he is able to analyse the situation so quickly and so accurately. I usually snap pick cards or get so overwhelmed with thinking
I made this observation in another one of his vods...he makes plays I never would've considered, and they are quite often much better than what I came up with after analysis. Probably the biggest thing I learned watching him that made me a better player is to not to get too attached to actually playing any particular card - sometimes it is 100% correct to exhaust Bludgeon rather than trying to play it, for instance.
Me, getting early poison cards: "Where's the dang catalyst? Hello? Catalyst?!" Baalor, getting early poison cards: "And I'll take this Catalyst and this Catalyst and this Catalyst and this Catalyst. Another Catalyst? Eh, sure, why not." And remember, he SKIPPED TWO BURSTS!
I mean, you have to remember he only picks the successful runs to upload to RUclips. For every run like this there's a bunch of runs that die to gremlin nob on stage 1
That's the gist of it really. Baalor plays so much Spire that it would be very unlikely for runs like this not to happen sometimes. He currently has almost 8000 hours of Spire logged on his steam.
Timestamps for when Baalor picks up the cards in the thumbnail (Bouncing Flask and Catalyst x5): Catalyst #1: (28:13) Catalyst #2: (28:43) Catalyst #3: (38:16) Catalyst #4: (49:53) Bouncing Flask: (51:02) Catalyst #5: (1:01:00) What an absolutely ridiculous poison run. Who needs Burst or Nightmare when you've got -four- FIVE Catalysts in your _base_ deck?
I discovered slay the spire when it became available on apple arcade. Your content has helped me greatly. Reached A20 on silent and currently working on defect! Thanks for the constant videos keep it up!!
Does it say somewhere in the description when the video was originally recorded? If not, it'd be helpful to add to avoid reviewing ones I've seen before from stream vods.
Do you ever try other mods besides the QoL ones you usually run? I have a lot of fun with the Bundle of Food mod, it adds a bunch of fun relics, including some that lead to new boss fights!
Yes he does modded runs every so often, the one I've seen the most is the biomes one with small card tweaks like a double prepared or a 0 cost 4 damage strike called Tiny Strike

He's got the perfect balance to thinking just enough ahead to be accurate and not overthink at the same time. Man he's good
was there a particular part that made you think that?

Experience helps out. He has a LOT of hours in the game

You missed Catalyst #5: (1:01:01). What a crazy run.

same man, literally the only good dame on arcade
I have to imagine champ was thinking “Hm, what’s with this musty air- AAAAAUGH”
“Must be the smell of decisive victo- AUGH AUGH auuugh”
Baalor at 54:18: "We're going to upgrade the final catalyst."
Me, who saw the thumbnail:
We've had first- i mean second- i mean third- i mean fourth catalysts yes, but what about fifth catalyst?
I don't think he knows about *second* catalyst, Pip.
Champ was like "that escalated quickly"
Was that a legendary Kung Pow reference???
Chosen One!
I'm coming!
But what is the evil council's plan ?
@@GG2COOL95 Again with the squeaky shoes?
"Chooosen one...
...
I'm coming !!!"
With such a deck you almost feel like Poison Ivy. What a great run!
Salvou o meu almoço seu vídeo, um salve para o Brasil
Brasil mencionado! 🇧🇷

No exact date, but the main channel is around 6 weeks behind. This run was from april 19th.
Doesn't say it in the description but the link to the full run history includes the date of the run
Poisoned stab and 4 upgraded catalysts damage caps the heart lol
Exponents are fun.
I feel lied to, that wasn't even close to a billion!
@@Timonmans you can bet i already have
How much total damage did you do to heart alone? )

Those modified cards come from the Chimera Cards mod, as well.
poison card＋Catalyst＝win
5 catalysts, didn't even need burst hehe
haha nice kung pow reference! chosen one!
Okay that was a great poison deck.
it's time to cheach, they say
I love poison decks.
yeah the poison was nice but the tori is my mvp. made act 1 so much easier
"Thankfully it's not gremlin nob"....
Things I never get to say. Am I the only one that gets butt head every run??
fake tittle, i thought he really did 1 billion poison and overflow the integer like jorbs did, shame
