As you may need observed, we’ve taking part in lots of Slay The Spire spherical these elements. With just a few wins underneath my belt, I’ve realized in regards to the energy of constructing lean decks within the roguelikelike dungeon-crawling card recreation, however I’m nonetheless blown away watching a video of an infinite combo successful battles on the very first flip – with solely two playing cards in all the deck. It has brought on a number of blasphemous exclamations within the RPS treehouse.
Here’s Twitch streamer “RiskyCB” with the edited highlights of an infinite combo run on his stream final month:
For those that can’t watch now or want somewhat clarification, right here we go. From the beginning RiskyCB focuses on chopping extraneous playing cards from the deck–eradicating them via his beginning blessing, in outlets, and at campfires as soon as he finds the Peace Pipe relic–to put the foundations for reliably drawing large combos. He begins out utilizing Bash to make enemies Vulnerable then hitting them with a Dropkick, which refunds its power value and attracts a card if the goal is Vulnerable. Using Dual Wield creates extra Dropkicks so he can maintain drawing them. But because the run continues, he strips the deck down and down till it’s simply two playing cards: Flash of Steel, which a zero-cost card offers harm and attracts a brand new card; and Duel Wield to make sufficient Flashes to attract. Wild occasions.
I’d identified that was potential nevertheless it requires eradicating so many playing cards, which requires sacrificing and risking a lot, that I’m nonetheless vastly impressed. And I realise different infinite combos exist in Slay The Spire however YouTube advisable that video to me, so I watched it and exclaimed “jesus” then I confirmed it around the RPS treehouse and Alec mentioned “holy god” and Matt mentioned “haha, nice”, so now I’m exhibiting you too.
Alec provides, “I just tried to recreate this but got murdered by the first Elite I encountered.”
Oh, and a brand new early entry replace hit Slay The Spire at present. As the patch notes clarify, it’s a ‘quality of life’ replace quite than something main. Enjoy new relaxation space backgrounds, interface enhancements so you possibly can higher see your deck and enemy intents at sure factors, new animations for just a few enemies, and steadiness modifications (the brand new Eggs are good).
