Im fairly certain there is a person or an AI working behind Slay The Spire. The randomness seems too...deliberate. For instance, I'm positive that 100% of the time when I play Creative AL or Magnetism for the first time in a run, the very first card they create is Creative AL / Magnetism. Every god damn time.
I honestly love that this video is a culmination of Baalor taking the “wrong” choices (like boss swap and pbox which aren’t even wrong just unlucky turnouts) and still making things work out to beat the heart on A20. Truly a testament of pure skill, honestly so amazing. Great content, keep it up!
I feel like the PB wasn't even that bad... He got Blizzard out of it which resulted in a lot of damage, upgraded Boot Sequence which saved a ton of health and even upgraded Tempest and Overclock found quite a bit of use being 0 cost cards...
Dont forget the double echo form and biased cog from creative ai. This game he was bailed on numerous occasions and his card rewards were really nice (creative ai and double holo). He still played amazingly, don't get me wrong but I think every busted crown swap will be majorly down to luck.
@1992thGuitarist isn't literally every game bailed by RNGeezus, if you're going to frame it that way? Baalor made to tier decisions when options were present, pulling out a W where 99% of players would have failed much earlier. His decisions enabled RNG to work in his favor.
1) He did say the Heart fight was all thanks to you 2) Was boss swap actually strategically correct there (ignoring crown obviously)? Defect is the character it is best on due to its meh relic, but removes are also great and don't have whiffs. I mainly assumed he took it for variety and content reasons.
These Defect runs have been making me very happy. Love to see that Baalor is appreciating Albert more. It's not the perfect card in many situations, but being a one card scaling solution is a virtue that can't be denied.
Timestamps for when Baalor picks up the cards and relic in the thumbnail (Streamlines and Busted Crown): Busted Crown: (1:32) (Neow) Streamline #1: (4:54) (Floor 3 Combat) One could say this deck was... busted!
I saw this one live in the stream. Not just a masterful game but also great commentary, especially considering everything is unscripted and live. Just amazing!
Ironically i was just thinking "man im tired of defect runs" before i clicked on the video because he's my personal least favorite character. I like Silent so i miss that short era haha. But the Mastery Challenge definitely was the best of both worlds because he was switching between all characters which made it so fun!
if you want to improve the look of the paper gun even more you can have it at the end swap to a sprite and animation of the desk completely falling apart into paper. same with it on impact. but that would be focusing on the visual. which is important but probably better to settle when you get the rest of the overall feel and gameplay down
^^^ Cards that originally only generate character-specific cards will never get affected by Prismatic shard. So, things like Distraction and Infernal Blade will only give the card that character originally had, as well.
I like The Silent best. Playing lots of cards is fun. I don't like Defect much. Too much thinking. I play games to just have fun. That said, Defect does seem to have the most varied decks
Obviously this isn’t a chimera card run, but does anyone know what settings Baalorlord uses for the mod? Or if there’s another video where he shows said settings?
Silent's my favourite character. Practice draw-discard; helps many decks - but don't sacrifice early damage. Poison can work early if vs Guardian. Poison stab is underrated. Crippling Cloud is overrated.
@@lystraeus- Yeah I think my problem is floor planning, knowing when and when not to upgrade, etc. I think I've got deck building mostly down, aside from impulse picks. Ty for the advice
I have no proof for this whatsoever, and it's probably not true at all, but I feel like every time I have crown I get better cards then usual/deck-synergistic cards. Probably confirmation biased cognition.
Saying boss swap "wasn't the correct pick" after seeing busted crown doesn't make sense to me. Lowrolling or highrolling doesn't change the evaluation of the decision
If you assume he has 8000 hours in the game (he does) and knows what he’s talking about (he does), and you recognize that something he said isn’t literally correct, then you can safely assume he was being facetious when he said that.
He's not saying he made a bad decision with the information he had. He's saying it turned out to be a bad decision. Playing the lotto is always a bad decision but if you knew you were going to win somehow, it'd be a great decision.
I don't know maybe when he said "it wasn't the correct pick, probably" he's not saying it wasn't the best pick at the time he made it, he's referring to the correct pick specific to this seed. Every seed if you examined it with perfect knowledge would have a "correct" pick for that seeds perfect run, it probably wasn't boss swap for this one.

Slay the Spire randomization acting a lot like the youtube algorithm: so you liked Compile Driver, how about 10 more

Albert coming through clutch! I swear all he ever makes for me is Hello World 😂
And sometimes Albert grows quite the ego and starts making copies of himself only 😂
The Gremlin Nob fight is masterclass level gameplay. Especially the turn starting at 10:10
Very slick
Yeah that was godlike play. Especially calling it like that.
That was a sweet nob
I was waiting for this one, this was the first run I've ever watched live and boy was it a treat
Timestamps for when Baalor picks up the cards and relic in the thumbnail (Streamlines and Busted Crown):
Busted Crown: (1:32) (Neow)
Streamline #1: (4:54) (Floor 3 Combat)
One could say this deck was... busted!
An insane clutch from Albert in this one. Busted Crown deck makes it to Heart, against all odds, and survives. Well played, good sir.
I never thought that the day will come where Baalor forgets that Echoform is in play. And here it is
11:23 Majora's Mask after becoming Majora's Incarnation:
+2
It's a niche reference but it checks out
I would have never taken 10 damage to look at 3 cards in the event, but you got 3 bangers.
Amazing run.
He wanted to remember what a regular card reward felt like
@@willkramer9717Like a single card reward but you lucked out and they all came upgraded and also you can take all of them for some reason
Man. I love Baalor's laugh.
I saw this one live in the stream. Not just a masterful game but also great commentary, especially considering everything is unscripted and live. Just amazing!
Up until end of act 2 only common cards! impressive
Yeah, I was about to say! This is 50 minutes of a Common Sense run on A20
Love the "crowning achievement" joke at the start
She busted on my crown until I streamline
decks like this would make me quit the moment time eater showed up.
Every seed is winnable for this guy i swear

Man it makes me so angry that he missed sundial. I really really really wanted to see it.
I would NEVER take dead branch there. Terrible with pyramid, throws your draw.

What a scrappy, cool deck!
Amazing run!!
2:19 foreshadowing much!?
The other day I had two back to back boss swaps into busted crown.

Dude picked up the Compile Drivicon. There is no escape.
So many compul druvers!
If you picked up Creative AI from prismatic shard playing like the Watcher, would you get Watcher power cards or Defect?
Watcher power cards

Absolutely perfect 💯

Baalor shows it here at 11:49: ruclips.net/video/3Te5XvZznjc/видео.html
I was there when it happened and it was glorious.
Surprisingly, Defect is my only A20 heart win. Trying for Silent next and I'm hardstuck.
Stop trying to make poison happen
I only miss Watcher on a20, hilarious
@@zamplify I typically don't. My best run was getting heart to under 200 with a shiv deck.
Silent's my favourite character. Practice draw-discard; helps many decks - but don't sacrifice early damage. Poison can work early if vs Guardian. Poison stab is underrated. Crippling Cloud is overrated.

This was an amazing video to watch at 2x speed.
I have no proof for this whatsoever, and it's probably not true at all, but I feel like every time I have crown I get better cards then usual/deck-synergistic cards. Probably confirmation biased cognition.
I feel the same way. Except for the runs that you die to Nob first elite because you were only offered skills so far.
I'm not sure why I find Pyramid so boring. Maybe because it's too strong.
I'm early for once!
Wooo I'm early today

I think he meant it was the right pick until it wasn't 😂
He's not saying he made a bad decision with the information he had. He's saying it turned out to be a bad decision. Playing the lotto is always a bad decision but if you knew you were going to win somehow, it'd be a great decision.

Knowing the outcome in retrospect it wasn‘t the best pick. Doesn’t mean he thinks there was a mistake in the decision making.
First!
The worst boss relic in the game treated him better than the best boss relic in the game
