    You can tell the difference between buffs and debuffs by the colour of the ability underneath the unit
    Red - Debuff (Sap, Emberdrain). Seraphim sometimes saps your units, so the card that removes debuffs is great against him.
    Green - Buffs (Spikes, Regen)
    Purple - Triggered abilities (Incant, Harvest, Resolve, Extinguish)
    Yellow - Additional abilities (Burnout, Enchant, Endless, Haste, Relentless)

      I think it's worth explicitly stating that the two categories you list as "Triggered" and "Additional" abilities are neither buffs nor debuffs, so the card does not affect them. It only removes red abilities from your units and green abilities from enemies.

    SO ENGORGED right now
    Also, from someone who has a lot of covenant 25 wins: it's a lot more efficient to have one big floor with everything on it than it is to have 3 floors with one heavy hitter each. This is the biggest reason you keep dying to the last boss. Dripfall your 200 attack overgorger behind your champ...you'll only have one guy to heal, and the boss will be dead.

    • @xCRUSH3Dx
      @xCRUSH3Dx 4 года назад +8

      I do agree he should have dropped an overgorger behind his champ. For NL that was the best play based on his draw and upgrade choices. However, two or three floors with one big hitter on each is perfectly viable. I also have tons of covenant 25 wins and I do this a lot, especially with morsels. It just makes sense. His problem is that he never takes a moment to think things through. He adds plus 10 damage to overgorger (wasted slot 1000%), doesn’t upgrade his spider, fails to use morsels as damage shields when needed, etc. He has what he needs to win but the quick plays with no advance thought are killing him.

    Oh god, 5 minutes in and he's already put +10 attack on the overgorger and rerolled a quick... NL, it's literally NEVER worth it to put an attack up on an overgorger. Overgorger wants: multistrike, quick, or health/damage shield. In that order. You can spend the rest of the run giving it attack, what it needs from upgrades is scaling and survivability, and quick actually works even better for survivability than health does since it means the gorger can kill a lot of enemies before they even attack!

      It is such a simple concept, keep him feed, and give him more survival or spice (quick, trample, multi-strike), you just have to keep 2 things in mind and you win.

      @Aishiteru Yo once you have 4 of them, Heph comes back to remove the extinguish trigger and grant them +20 attack. As per basically all concealed caverns stuff, this upgrade of +20 attack works even if all their slots are full, so getting stuff like health / health and damage upgrades is good on them. If NL had taken both the upgrades in that one shop and then duplicated it enough times, he'd have had 4 one-capacity 36/11 multistrike units, which I've gotta say make for pretty nice capacity fillers.

  • @sedifric873
    @sedifric873 4 года назад +23

    Upgrading the Spikedriver Colony (or the other card you can get in that event, for that matter), is ALWAYS the way to go, especially when it hasn't started multiplying yet. All of the copies will get the upgrade, and the event will upgrade them again ON TOP of that.
    In fact, I only pick it when I think I will be able to upgrade it, and don't play it until I do. I don't even think it's worth getting if you don't upgrade it separately.
    Also, it gets upgraded after you have 5 in your deck (which happens by playing it)

    for resin removal, it removes debuffs on you, and removes buffs on enemies. debuffs on you show up as a red icon (emberdrain, sap, DAZE, etc), buffs on enemies show up as green (stealth, lifesteal, rage, etc). yellow buffs like sweep or relentless can't be removed

    Some tips and observations based on this run, other people have already commented most if not all of them but it's probably nice to have them all in one comment (I may forget some too Tbh). Sorry in advance for how long this is.
    I will start saying that you did great and had some really good moments, like recognizing that the soul harvester would die because the rector had stealth, realizing that you should have made the overgorger eat morsels when you didn't on a boss and other things that you from 20 episodes ago would not have seen. Kudos on the progress! Now for the tips:
    -Resin removal only removed debuffs and buffs, which are the red and green squared indicators respectively. Purple circles are triggered abilities and yellow squares are passive abilities, neither of these count as buffs or debuffs.
    -Descend is useful to overstack a floor, for example once you are happy with how gorged your overgorger is, you can just descend him behind your champion. Obviously it's also useful to space enemies out, there was an occasion on this run where you could have had an enemy in the middle floor descended to your bottom floor and be killed by your champion, so he didn't hit your overgorger before dying.
    -The cards that you get from the event that make copies of themselves only get upgraded by the event once you get enough of then in your deck (I believe 4 is the number but I could be wrong), it's always best to upgrade them as much as possible and then start making copies.
    -When you have a unit that depends on gaining burnout you really should get a good amount of cards that do so, otherwise rng WILL screw you almost every run just based on the amount of battles there are, and it also helps them survive longer against bosses. On the same note, you should be careful when giving burnout to important units that don't already have it, unless you have a critical mass of burnout giving cards.
    -A quick observation about overgorger, it's an amazing card and if you get it early at this level of covenant it is almost always a must take. That being said in later covenants even if you get it in the first level from a challenge, it's hard to make it work because of everything working against you, most of the time he doesn't grow quick enough and takes too much of your resources by the first flying boss fight and you end up dying there, so in those late covenants you should probably only take him if you already have a surefire way to best the boss even when you are using resources on him or when you have an insane amount of feeding going on.
    -Finallly, whoever is trying to convince you that train stewards are good either doesn't know what they are talking about or is giving bad advice on purpose. They are just bad and the only use they have is support in early stages to block damage or give a bit more of damage, which can make the difference but more often than not it won't or it will be small and you would have won regardless. Once you get actually useful units you should remove them and only remove base useless spells first, like torches and restores if you are not using the rejuvenate Awoken. Even with the relic they are just not strong enough, only if you are playing awoken can they help you longer and only because awoken doesn't have units as strong as other clans by base, you really need to upgrade their units to make them strong, and EVEN THEN you probably want to have just one or at most two of them since you can't spend that much resources upgrading them over other cards in your deck.

    I have not seen the Overgorger in like 20 runs, NL get it like three time in a row. Not playing the Spiders was not ideal especially with extra upgrade slot, but not game-losing bad with having an early overgorger. The Problem was more that the deck was not focused enough. Not enough Burnout to keep the champion alive, and not enough (any?) backline damage so the Overgorger got pummeled by the small birds. Always prioritize HP and Multistrike on the Overgorger. Also not enough raw damage spells to kill the backline. Otherwise well played.

    Someone need to teach NL to not take every card he find in front of himself, to take draw instead of energy when he never had energy problems, upgrade at every round, delete some cards from his deck like Train Stewards as soon as possible, play the useless units on a floor where they die, read the events, upgrade spells like antumbra assault instead of cards that he never use, duplicate an upgraded unit instead of taking a plain unit from a banner, think a little bit before playing cards and not build a deck around a relic he doesn’t already have.

    NL the way you play the spikedriver event is that you take the card and until you get to a merchant you treat it like a curse and never play it. Once you find a merchant you throw as many expensive and strong upgrades on it as possible. Then you duplicate it and once you have 4 or more the other part of the even triggers, upgrading all of them. Not only does this give hundreds of gold in upgrades for free but you also now have a bunch of extremely good low cost creatures in you deck that will likely win the run by themselves.

    Advanced Prototype is easily one of my favorite relics. Getting a multistrike 2x damage shield unit out of the box is great especially when you have 4 of them on the early floors. In later Covs it is easily one of the most well regarded relics.

    The "spiders" and railspike events need you to get to 4 copies to get the upgrade, the spiders are pogged up, especially if you can buff them before duplicating them. Resin removal removes red statuses (like sap) from friendlies and removes green statuses from enemies (like lifesteal). the purple effects (like slay or harvest) are removed through silence.

  • @Ghostneedle1

    Great run and thanks for the company but this run lost because:
    A: Not taking quick on the overgorger even though it's a perfect survivability upgrade from them
    B: Not having aoe/backline damage to stop minions running you over with damage and support effects
    C: Not taking draw as your second boss relic
    Not upgrading the spikedriver colonies and then playing them was secondary but it would have helped you out.
    All that being said I think his run was generally well played and shows that he's genuinely learning albiet slowly.

    FYI NL "We need holdover on our burnout card so our champ does not burnout" The double stack you just skipped right past could have done that too... given you 4 instead of 2 burnout. With a few cards removed this is enough to keep him alive.
    AGAIN, take furnace tap, it is the best card in the entire game..
    NL you really gave the overgorger +10 dmg upgrade instead of quick?! really.. he has +10 after the first TURN with his passive, quick will save him so much hp and with multi-strike later, he can clear the entire floor.
    You should for sure upgrade the extinguish unit you got from the cavern, it becomes stronger later plus your upgrades, they can hold an entire run with like a large stone and dmg, then dupe 6 and you have two full floors of massive units. (you need 5 or 6 of them duped in your deck for the cavern to upgrade it too)
    leaving a floor empty is actually one of the best things you have done this run, you don't get enough cards to play everything across 3 floors, this has lost you a lot of runs.
    The quick upgrade on overgorger is the biggest mistake I think... could have easily won the run, with trample he flat out takes no dmg except from bombs.

    Im gonna preface this with the fact I am only at 22:30 and therefore don't know whether you learn or not how "Resin Removal" works. Any "Green Square" under a character is a buff, "Red Squares" are debuffs. Small side-note I like to put permafrost on my "Resin Removal" that way when I draw it, it will just sit in my hand until there is something I need it for and I don't have to worry about it being cycled through.

  • @xCRUSH3Dx

    I had a bad feeling as soon as NL dropped damage +10 upgrade on Overgorger. That is NEVER the play. You only upgrade him with HP/Quick/Multi-Strike. A case could be made for Large Stone, but in later runs floor capacity is an issue. The misplays at the end hurt, but still proud of our egg lord. He should have had that.

    Puts trample on the melting champion with 150 damage when overgorger has roughly 450 damage (on the last fight). Also has no tanks in deck to protect his 3 high damage units (even if there’s not space for a tank on floor 3 there is in floor 2 and 1). Has a deck full of morsel creating cards and has excessive morsels regularly but still takes extra morsel cards. Takes intent on death with only one card that has an extinguish effect in the deck. Watch him not read all the comments on the ten damage buff on overgorger being a misplay and he does it again ten days from now.

    Not taking trials is losing you so many runs NL. It's probably why you lost an otherwise unlosable run.
    It's not the "safe" option to avoid trials. It's in fact, quite the opposite. It's far safer to take them. Avoiding them just means losing slower.

    @martinbisanz9284 4 года назад

    Not that it would've mattered in the end, but you give trample to the unit that does the most damage, especially if it's a 200+x2 Overgorger and most of that damage goes to waste otherwise, because you only hit twice. Even if it does kickstart your overgorger, +10 damage is peanuts in the long run, I mean you get that in one battle, making this thing a freaking tank is much more important

    • @Ghostneedle1
      @Ghostneedle1 4 года назад

      I dunno, the trample at the bottom wasn't actually that bad since his champion was sometimes trampling over the frontliners to kill the backline damage dealers, meaning it saved some damage on his overgorger.

      I don't think so. Stealth is useful but if you want your champion to stay alive you need that burnout. I think his real issue was having a 30+ card deck after the removal he did. Everytime he cried about not getting his holdover cleanse I just laughed because he had 17 cards left to draw 4 turns in
