Slay The Spire

I'm relatively new to this game, having purchased it a few months ago, and I'm still not very good at it. However, I feel like I am slowly getting better on each of the characters, with the exception of the Watcher.

I'm trying to kill the Heart on all toons before increasing to A1. I can consistently get to the heart on the 3 other characters, but cannot consistently even get past act 2 on the Watcher. I'm not sure I've beaten the slavers once yet on the Watcher. Does anyone have any general tips for the Watcher? I know stance dancing is important, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this without just getting murdered.

My deck never seems to scale faster than the enemies in act 2 and 3. I rarely seem to have enough damage to make switching to wrath worthwhile with the amount of damage I will then take due to enemy attacks. But I can't sit back and wait for the ideal time to wrath as my deck never has enough defense to block turn after turn. It just seems like whatever I do, I can't kill the enemies before losing too much health and eventually dying after several floors and fights.

It's frustrating me that I cannot figure out how to play well with the watcher. I'm sure my card selection and turn by turn play is terrible still, but I simply don't know what I'm doing wrong to improve.

For anyone interested in the person behind the music. I decided to research this because I love the music to Slay the Spire it's a full orchestral score and sounds so much better than most game music. Clark Aboud composes for other games and films so you can listen to more examples of his work on his site.

Installed the game on my mobile, and lost 2 weeks of productivity. Damn. Only got up to A11 or so on each char before I gave up and deleted it for my sanity.

This is me, some videos of my early adventures in Slay the Spire. This is not watching a pro beat the heart after a thousand hours. Looking at Steam this morning, I have all of 25 hours in, at least a quarter of those are the game being open overnight. I will continue to edit and put more videos of my journey out there. This is learning the game, learning Peertube, OBS, and ShotCut all at the same time!

I thought I'd reshare the trailers here as I only just discovered we had a STS community here :D

I'm not often a fan of Dead Branch runs because of how unpredictable they can be but this run was fueled by Shivs with the Shurikan and Kunai relics generating a ton of strength and dexterity so I was really just trying to play as many cards as possible every turn and see what fun Dead Branch created! Picking up an early Apotheosis certainly didn't hurt either as it meant I was happy to get Fusion Hammer for the extra energy per turn!

Is it when you've:

• Beat the Act 3 boss with all 4 characters?
• Beat the heart with all 4 characters?
• Beat A20 with all 4 characters?
• Completed every achievement?
• Others?

Some more Slay the Spire fanart, this time featuring the Watcher! I like stacking a bunch of mantra cards and artifacts so that I can set off divinity every other turn or so.

I’ve been playing Slay the Spire again recently and decided I wanted to do some more fanart for it. Here’s the Defect so far!

I’ve also got the Watcher, Silent, and Ironclad done, but I’ll post those in the coming days!

I've been playing Slay the Spire again recently and wanted to make some more fanart.

This one is for the Ironclad. I’ve also got the Watcher and the Silent doodled out and ready to post in the next few days.

Here is the Defect as well!

So my friend just showed me there's a multiplayer mod, and you can trade cards, even better different classes.

Are there any cards that you think would be really useful cross class? The silent likes the Blur I traded over.

Just noticed steam creeping up on 900, probably another 20-30 on xbox and the same on iPad.

(still haven't A20'd the heart)

I feel like i'm wading thru quicksand trying to slog thru with him. Like with Watcher I feel like I can kick the spire over (sometimes). But man with Ironclad, I just can't seem to improve or get anywhere. (Unless I get like corruption/dead branch etc)
