I wanted to try a new type of post: just taking a particular videogame and see if there are others who would like to talk about it.

To start I'm taking Slay The Spire. A beautifully balanced game with infinite replayability. What are your favorite classes? What is your favorite way to win the game? What is the highest ascension you've beaten? Are there similar games you enjoy? Let's go!

I've beaten the game(act 4) with every char except the poison one. The best phone game ever. The balance is a bit iffy though, Watcher is just way more consistent than other characters but Defect is my favourite

As for similar games I like Monster Train, I've enjoyed it nearly as much but it doesn't have the same longevity imo.

Every character is 100% consistently winnable at low ascensions, I believe

Man wtf? Defect and watcher are the two that make no sense to me at all, especially the defect. I’m best with the silent. And by that I mean I’m A17 on the silent and like… A2 on the defect

How the crap do you play the defect??

There are many strategies, the most obvious one it to

get orbs so cards like capacitor
get focus so orbs do more, cards like defragment(most important!)
get generate lightning orb cards to fill the orbs
ideally get electrodynamics that makes every orb hit every single target
get evoke cards for massive burst damage

You can also do the same with frost instead of lightning, you'll have so much block nothing will touch you, you can then use cards like claw for damage. Upgraded Buffer card might be my favourite in the game

The problem with defect is that the cards you get on a given run might screw you over, not fitting any strategy whereas the watcher always has a valid strategy based on switching between calm and wrath stances if he doesn't get something better like divinity or alpha.
