Slay the spire - The awakened one vs the best deck (minimalist achievement) 

🤣

*over here as defect playing 20 powers in first form and crying*

No way, it actually was!

Tf? I play every card i want! I wont die by my choices

Imo removing 9 starters has to be the hardest part.. getting the exact 4 cards needed is alot easier since a.) it’s only 3 different cards-aka you can copy one of them w/ mirror or an event, b.) you can add relics that increase your ability to get cards (w/ the right 2 relics you have 8 cards to choose from each fight, plus another relic allows you to add a card when u rest) c.) you can add relics which guarantee that you get already upgraded cards so you don’t have to rely on rest locations/events for upgrades. TLDR: there’s a lot of ways to get cards but only a couple ways to remove cards. Also though, I didn’t even think about how hard it’d be to not get killed while building that deck-I imagine your damage output would be terrible for a good chunk of the run lol

def easier if u got a pandora's starter relic swap.

@@hawkeyez46 if I’m reading it correctly it’s not an Ascension run? Easy af in that case, you just need the barricade up and start pumping block. It doesn’t have to come from entrench, though that’s obviously the best way to do it. From there it’s a matter of getting body slam, lol

@@xilverknight155 I agree this would be the most viable way

Easy af to get those cards. Problem is always thinning your deck. You don't get many chances unless u get some specific relics.

In Slay the Spire it is usually counterproductive to try specific strats and build specific decks from the start. The strategy of taking cards that will help to survive act boss and elites first. Only after getting several relics and cards one can reasonably decide what you may need for you deck to win the game. Barricade + Entrench + Body slam is not guarantied to drop in a single run. BTW this minimalist set has its drawbacks. All small decks are very vulnerable to Status card spam from enemies. Without the means to draw cards and exhaust status effects a deck is easily paralyzed. So, if the game gives you good cards for strength strategy it is perfectly fine to build a strength deck. It can be more powerful than this one. A couple of upgraded Limit Breaks +an initial strength source can melt enemies just fine. There are at least dozen of perfectly fine Ironclad deck archetypes that can win the game.

Another good option with a regular-sized deck is to pick up Headbutt so you can keep drawing the Entrench.

Fun fact: you copied someone else’s fact

@Choas_Lord_512 actually yes. those words have never been put together in the history of the english language

Fun fact: facts don't belong to anyone @@tylers92

not a fun fact: the internet is full of liars, scammers and generally awful people, and its thanks to people lik​e you@@frrmack

​@@tylers92You are the kind of people who dislike history

Demon form is relatively bad

@@BowForGlory i mean sure but when it’s been a couple turns and you got stacked strength, double tap + heavy blow literally one shot him when he awakened

@@ScrodumHat ok yeah I know the Combo but I'm saying demon form is bad. Cost too much and you can limit break combo much better and more effectively and faster

@@BowForGlory inflame is WAAAY BETTER

😂😂

They could just wait for the 3 dmg per turn

thanks !

As with most lightning builds, it just lacks any and all survivability. First turn you deal 3 damage (with starting relic), then second turn you deal 51 plus whatever the power you got is. After that, you deal 68+7X per turn. That’s just way too slow to have literally no survivability aside from the occasional buffer card. And that’s just how basically any lightning deck goes unless it’s infinite. It’s just so slow. It’ll kill the awakened one, but you’ll probably be pretty low on hp by the time you get there from other fights from the same issues.

Kudos to you, that's an epic idea! I hope that now happens in one of my runs haha.

@@exlorddeath7359 Yeah, guess you need ornamental fan also, huh.

@@lifeiswonderful22 it'd help but that wouldn't beat a20, you'd need abacus for that

@@exlorddeath7359 Or barricade. So I guess it's 2 cards then 😕

Lotta money spent at shops, lucky empty cage pickup, and lucky ? rooms probably.

Luck Some ? path have that option He has a relic to remove cards too

empty cage + all shops prolly

@@ryanbaker2762 there was a bug a while ago that let you delete all strikes and defends from the deck. Might have done it then. It’s done using the “transform all strikes and defends” reward

@@ryanbaker2762 probably a few lucky events as well

@@TimTim3000 I ended up getting the achievement and yeah that’s basically it lol

Do you do achievement runs on a20?

@@safep4683 no i hate achievements

@@tmbtor so you can't judge how others do it

​@@tmbtorYou hate it but you want people do it for you What is this bs

@@phu9340 reading is hard huh

No shame in that when hunting the extreme achievements. I used A0 to get the last few really hard ones (sub 20 mins and only commons).

a0 or a20, managing to get to the act 3 boss with a 5 card deck is an achievment nonetheless.

Makes perfectly sense to go a0/1 for such achievements

It's an achievement run. Would love to see you try to get Minimalist on a20 :)

@@milgos5269 not really, the less cards you have in your deck the better odds you have of getting the exact card that you want.
