I unironically love when NL tells me to imagine the video if it were edited. It's actually just as effective, maybe more effective, than actually editing.
Honestly with getting Timekeeper, Velvet chocker is not bad at all. Of all the Silent builds, this might be the one where velvet chocker is actually not bad. At least it's not velvet chocker on a shiv build.
velvet choker hard forces the 6 cards per turn rule that he does with the time keeper anyway and yet he's spending 80% of his mental energy worrying about it from the start of the 3rd floor
I'm going to be honest here, NL is pretty good when it comes to building a deck, sure, sometimes he doesn't add enough blocks or misjudges a card or another, but overall he is pretty good with his card decisions. The flaw (or perhaps the fun) are his terrible missplays 😂
Hard committing to a poison deck vs slime boss is pretty iffy and he got punished for it pretty hard. Don't think this deck would've gotten away with it on higher ascensions.
@SeeMyDolphin at higher ascension you can just hold out for one deck rotation for the catalyst and tank 1 hit from the boss slime to avoid the multiple hits from the medium slimes
Don't do this to yourself. He will randomly abandon ever taking the card again for no random reason as soon as his feelings tell him to. He plays this game with his brain totally off. Youre just setting yourself up for disappointment when he passes the greatest best laid plans of all time so he can't take whatever dog water card his feelings are fixated on at that time
The biggest arc for silent progression for NL will be him realizing that he wants as many piercing wails as possible in his deck it is such a good card also bro complaining about always needing to heal while he chooses only paths with hallway fights like bro events exist lmao
Thanks for getting me onto this game, NL. I'm trying to do 20 in Ironclad first, and the versatility is amazing. I've had strength builds (with subtypes of demon form or self-harm using the card that builds strength from cards that hurt you), block builds, debuff builds (using a card where debuffs damage opponents), and even a very successful curse build. My favourite was the curse build, it was great. Only on ascension 8 so far, but I did just get it yesterday. So cheers!
The duality of his shops is mindblowing, sometimes he breezes through run-winning shops with >5 good products taking only a Dagger Throw and at others he correctly identifies that he's on that one out of 15-20 runs where Art of War is really potent and it ends up paying off. I think I'd still buy Orrery there but who cares, legit think that taking a minimum of 30 seconds with each shop he runs into is one of the more actionable pieces of advice for him out there because that's where rushing hurts you most. Shops good.
I genuinely thought I had somehow rewinded the video on the second Spire Growth fight where he didnt block the last turn for the second time and says the exact same "WAHHH you gotta block those man!"
He's gotten so good he nerfs himself with Velvet Choker on a Bullet time+Art of war+Gremlin Horn +Mummified Hand deck+Centennial Puzzle. And the madman wins anyway!! Unbelievable.
WOW NL you must be the best Slay the Spire player in existence, your so good at games, i wish i was like you, just except for the bald part. i like my long hair, it keeps me warm in the winter.
I think the most significant change he can make for how tiny the actual difference in play is, is just knowing about the piercing wail during buff tech
I dont know if all of those Art of War plays were worth it, but it's nice to see him actually thinking for a change instead of instantly misplaying his hand and accidentally skipping relics without even noticing
Damn. This was very well executed. I think this is the first episode, where I don't think you made any large mistakes. And a poison build at that! Well plaid (plans)!
I watch on .5x speed so it seems like he is thinking about the choices that are being made

Btw piercing wail has great synergy with ohrichalcum. Its defense but not block.
@@eldataaffe + poison cards like well laid plans and so does piercing wail
The best way to win as Silent is to immediately click on every Acrobatics and Piercing Wail you see
oh my god he took well laid plans. hes learning.
Then didn't upgrade it and skipped 2 upgraded ones lol

Don't do this to yourself. He will randomly abandon ever taking the card again for no random reason as soon as his feelings tell him to. He plays this game with his brain totally off. Youre just setting yourself up for disappointment when he passes the greatest best laid plans of all time so he can't take whatever dog water card his feelings are fixated on at that time
*keeps saying his win con is nightmare + catalyst*
*skips fucking 3 (THREE) upgraded, i repeat, UPGRADED calculated gambles*
wow he actually broke even with hand of greed pretty early.
Yeah, hand of greed is disgusting early.
He even realized Hand of Greed is also just a very good attack. I actually can't believe it doesn't exhaust.
Coming from a FrostPrime STS video to a NL STS video is like looking at a Rembrandt then going home to my 2 year olds pasta artwork.

The biggest arc for silent progression for NL will be him realizing that he wants as many piercing wails as possible in his deck it is such a good card
also bro complaining about always needing to heal while he chooses only paths with hallway fights like bro events exist lmao
I’m waiting for the Wraith Form revelation, that card is turbo busted but looks very scary to pick at first

Ignores velvet choker every time on Defect, Watcher, and Ironclad, instant locks it on the Silent. You love to see plays of this caliber
this is history revisionism

the number of times he decided to not play a strike so he can proc art of war after he’s already played an attack,, never change

You have to block those, man!
it is a little crazy how solid this deck would be WITHOUT velvet choker lmaoooooooo
Damn. This was very well executed. I think this is the first episode, where I don't think you made any large mistakes. And a poison build at that! Well plaid (plans)!

I'm convinced he's ignoring akabeko on purpose theres actually no way 😂
Don't use Fruit Juice until you have to, events that deal damage scale with your max HP
