DharkstareI've been playing Slay the Spire 2 and I've been really enjoying it.
The new characters, Regent and Necrobinder, have really interesting play styles. Overall, it's proving to be a great sequel to an already great game.
KnitWitI’m not the biggest fan of the Regent, but overall am enjoying the game a lot. All the additions to the original characters are solid as well, love the sly mechanic. Dig the new enemies.
ZikejiThe secondary energy seems out of whack. Too hard to generate which immediately switches to OP if you get one of a few things that solve the generation issue.
Yeah, I run into basically one of three issues with Regent:
- I have a deck that can do good damage and accrue stars, but getting destroyed without any block
- I have a deck with lots of block and stars, but do barely any damage so it’s a race against enemies strengthening themselves.
- Card rewards flip flop between forge and stars, so can’t build a consistent deck for Act I boss
I can’t tell if I’m just playing him bad or getting bad luck, but he’s the one I’ve struggled with the most.
I think a lack of synergy between stars and forge is part of what leads to that. With sovereign blade costing 2 (or 3 with the double hit power) it doesn’t play well with having to spend energy gaining stars as well.
Oh yeah, what I’ve seen some people suggest is to target one or the other. It’s just even doing that hasn’t really clicked for me.
Huh, in one recent run I was using stars to block and do chip damage whilst slowly building up the blade for a big wallop at the end.
