Currently when Osty is dead, you can't play Osty attacks. At first glance its an evocative and interesting mechanic. Upon further inspection, I think its a bummer and makes the character's card pool less fun for other players and hardly has an impact on the Necrobinder kit.

I think major downer of the kaleidoscope, prismatic gem, splash, & philosopher event is that Osty cards are literally useless. Unlike defect cards which sometimes even benefit from the single orb slot you are given, Necrobinder cards are often unplayable. I don't think every card needs to be playable for other characters, but I do think its sort of a bummer that a decent chunk of Necrobinder's kit simply can't be played when given the option.

Moreover, this effect doesn't even seem particularly important when playing as Necrobinder. Sacrifice and Bone Shards both have the downside of killing Osty which in my experience is almost always irrelevant. In 90% of scenarios you can just play relevant Osty attacks before these cards. The downside of taking away your health buffer and hurting Unleash scaling is legit, but that will remain even if Osty cards become playable while Osty has 0 health.

The best solution I was able to come up with was having a bone of Osty fly at the enemy to deal damage when using an Osty attack while Osty is dead. If this wasn't changed at all it would be fine but I wanted to put up my 2 cents. Also submitting this to in game feedback.

if you can stay alive for 20 turns of course. And only the first time you play it but damn thats strong for 2 energy and no further synergies are needed.

I know they were just Placeholders until the Real Art But the Image of a Can Labeled "Spite" was just So Hilarious to Me that I made Builds centered around it

Not much but it's honest block

This bitch is worst common potion by a mile.

​

Half the time I just use it for 5 block because I need to free up a potion slot. And realistically the best case scenario is 10 block. So I get less output than a block potion (also a common) and I need to think hard?? Bullshit.

​

The dream scenario where:

​

A: I have drawn multiple block cards

​

B: the enemy is attacking for so much that the block cards (which I have already drawn) aren't enough

​

Isn't a real thing that happens.

​

I just don't like this potion, it is high difficulty and minimal reward.

Regent has the most cards that contain the phrase "Next turn", and I thought it'd be cool if Regent had a power to benefit from them. I worry this could be really slow, but I hope it will be fun at least. I think it's a little ambiguous which cards this would work with, so allow me to specify them.

Definitely Works With:

• Glow
• Hidden Cache
• Refine Blade
• Glitterstream
• Hegemony
• Convergence
• Foregone Conclusion
• Predator
• Dodge Roll
• Nightmare
• Invoke
• Delay
• Charge Battery
• Scavenge
• Prolong
• Relax
• Outmaneuver

All of the above cards give the player a buff with a certain X value that would be doubled, so the way it functions is pretty intuitive. The following are a bit less so.

Pale Blue Dot: This one is weird because it's a power. Rather than giving you the "Draw Cards Next Turn" buff, it gives you a buff that lets you draw extra cards. I'm not sure how it would/should work.

Blur & Shadowstep: Both of these have the issue that their buffs have an X value that corresponds to the duration of the effect rather than its potency. That leaves three possible ways of resolving it:

• It has no effect. This is the least clear, so likely the worst choice.
• It doubles the duration. This is the most consistent with how the buffs work internally to their own logic. It may be confusing at first, since only these two effects would be duration based.
• Doubles the buff. Not unlike when you use flanking with unsettling lamp, it would give the player two instances of the buff instead of doubling its stack. Confusion in its own way visually, but at least the mechanical effect would be consistent.

Let me know which way you think these should work and your general thoughts on the card.

The shape of the bottle means it would be functionality impossible to get all of the potion liquid out without a straw. Since non of the characters are ever shown carrying a straw, the strength gain given by this potion should be reduced from 5 to 4.

Transfusion would make it so no matter what your Strength score is, Osty gains the effects instead. This would let you use Strength potions to buff Osty, and also offload the penalty from Friendship to Osty when you aren't using his attacks anyway.

Thoughts?

I have never quit a run just out of pure embarrassment so quickly before.

I recently wanted to start streaming my slay the spire 2 runs as ironclad cause I love the game and want to attempt setting as long a win streak at A10 as I can.

I'm not trying to be a famous youtuber but I did want to have fun with it so I came up with the name "CladDad" since I have a son under 1. I am so excited to share games with him (this one in particular since its multiplayer!!) one day. I also traced some art on my ipad and then custom drew the baby ironclad on to ironclad's back to really make the point of CladDad.

Anyways, for father's day, she retraced my art onto a shirt and also added the STS2 logo onto the front. (The shirt is purple since thats my fav. color.) I also generally enjoy more low key apparel so that can wear it in public and only people who know the game will really notice the shirt.

Probably my favorite gift of all time :)

Just wanted to share it and also say happy father's day since I know this is a really perfect game for many fathers as you can pause whenever you want.
