      The Silent is actually a girl surprisingly enough! This isn't quite apparent in her base design but (if you complete a particular achievement in the game), you unlock her beta card art and let's just say that fact becomes a lot more apparent in some of the beta art designs. (A lot of the other Beta arts in the game are still amazing though speaking as an absolute fan of this game)

      If RT does end up streaming Slay the Spire again, this would be a great reference. I imagine that specifically against Time Eater, RT throws out all of his options at Time Eater and his turn automatically ends when the boss is at 1HP. Then RT dies to Time Eater.
      That just seems like such a perfect moment to quit and say "Wanna play Mario Sunshine?"

    Some tips for those who may want to start playing this lovely game:
    - You can enable Fast Mode in the settings, which speeds up the animations pretty dramatically.
    - There's a total of 9 bosses, 3 in each act, and all of them perform better or worse against certain strategies. Experimentation is key!
    - After beating the game as any character with certain stipulations that I won't spoil, you can unlock the beta art for that character's cards! The newest character even includes a bunch of art that was submitted by the community!
    - The game has pretty extensive modding support. In particular, there's a massive expansion mod called "Downfall" that's a full rework of the game to play as the bosses and to essentially travel the Spire in reverse, fighting the playable characters as floor bosses.
    - Slay the Spire has an Ascension system, where every time you beat the game, it will start to add stacking difficulty modifiers to your run. You're not obligated to go all the way up, but the Ascensions cap at Lvl. 20 for each character.

      He's doing a fantastic job of explaining the game as he goes along, but to call him 'RIDICULOUSLY good' would be hyperbole in the extreme. He's not capitalizing on his Kunai bonus dexterity in the same turns he gets them (he casts his Blocks before he attacks, which is straight up wrong with Kunai) and he isn't prioritizing his offense properly on Ironclad to utilise his heal (visible in him messing up the first fight.) Basically the only reason he wins on Silent is that every single relic he received was god-tier, with the sole exception of Pantograph, which is still really good. His deck also likely loses straight up to Time Eater, one of 3 possible permutations of the last boss, which punishes low-value card spam decks.
      For a player who is completely new, this would be good progress, but RT explained on his stream that he HAS played this game on his Switch before, making it impressive the other way around that he hasn't grasped many of these basics intuitively despite playing (presumably) 3-4 runs already before this stream.
      That said, RT IS an absolute god at being able to keep his content hilarious even in an otherwise fast-paced, ostensibly 'not much to be said game'.

      I'm pretty sure that's by design. The ironclad has lots of hp (more from burning blood) and high damage to pretty consistently get through act 1, but the synergies for him are actually not easy to see initially. On the other hand, silent has many cards that directly say "shiv" or "poison", making it VERY easy to find a strong synergy and get a good run. So a new player will have the ironclad's hp to brute force through the game while learning it, while actually learning the hook of the game with the silent.

      RT can kind of nullify that with his defense whenever he plays a card, but the two kind of cancel eachother out and the boss itself deals heaps of damage on top of that effect.

    But yeah, this game allows you to do some truly silly things, which is why I love it so much. My personal favorite would probably be the Ironclad combo of Corruption (skills cost 0 and exhaust) and the Dead Branch (when a card is exhausted, generate a random card). It results in a very "RANDOM BULLSHIT, GO!" sort of run.

    For boss relics, extra energy is always best, EXCEPT for ectoplasm, which stops you from gaining gold, and Runic dome, which stops you from seeing enemy intents.
    -Busted crown might be bad for the first boss because from now on all card reward choices are reduced by 2 but once you got your deck mostly built it's free energy.
    -Fusion hammer stops you from upgrading at campfires, which is definetely bad early on, but if you upgrade most of your core deck and get it at the end of act 2 it's no big deal. You may need to rest at act 3 anyways, and you might have gotten other relcs that give you other interactions with the campfire to compensate for that. Also there's the eggs.
    -Cofee Dripper stops you from resting, but you can compensate for that by using your extra energy for defense.
    -Cursed key is free enrgy and a visit to the shop every chest to remove the curse, no big deal.
    -Philosopher stone makes enemies stronger, but again, you can compensate yith the extra energy.
    -Sozu stops you from getting potions, which are an unreliable part of the run, to give you a reliable extra energy.
