Here's the final boss fight and victory with my silly almost-infinite Unceasing Top + Mantra build.

2024.06.23 - 16.13.37.05.DVR

Fun little Unceasing Top almost-infinite deck. This is the second boss, where it was really started to get fun! In the next video you can see it at the very end of the game...

Finally got the last achievement, by attaining 25+ focus. It took a few runs to get the right combination of runs, but it turned out that it was Creative AI that was key (together with Consume, of course), so I could get arbitrary extra orb slots. I tried with Biased Cognition a few times, but after having played it three or more times the loss each turn is too quick to overcome.

I have to admit that I was very lucky both with the ample opportunities I had for removing cards as well as with receiving "Unceasing Top", which meant that I could beat any opponent (except time eater, I guess) in my first turn 😄 (at the end, that is - when I'd removed all the cards with cost)

Finally beat Ascension Level 20 with The Watcher, which means I've beaten it with all characters now... just a couple of achievements left and this might be the first game I've ever completely completed 😄 I guess there are always the daily climbs.

Finally got a Pressure Point deck working really well. It took me a while to work out that they damage all enemies with Mark on them everytime you play one, not just the one targeted.

I've started working on The Watcher, after I've completed Ascension level 20 with the other three. This build was fun at the final battle when I happened to get a nice combination of Talk To The Hand (multiple copies), Wave Of The Hand and Sadistic Nature. This meant that when I played Wave Of The Hand that turn and attacked the enemy I'd played Talk To The Hand on I'd get block, causing me to apply Weak to all enemies causing all enemies to take damage.

My build was especially powerful because I had the Strange Spoon which meant that a lot of the time my Talk To The Hand cards would not exhaust and I could play them multiple times. In some combats I'd get around 20 block every time I attacked an enemy, which is great when you're doing a lot of Flurry Of Blows 😃

Finally defeated ascension level 20 with The Defect. It took me quite a while, and after that I decided I needed to take a break from Slay The Spire before I attempt to get there with the last two, which is also why it's taken me two weeks to get around to uploading it 😛

Finally beat ascension level 20! It took a few attempts, as you can see, but it's my first run after beating level 19!

Sorry about the audio. The GeForce Experience thing had decided to turn on the microphone again, for some reason 😦

Finally got the Speed Climber award for a sub-20 speed run through to the "final" boss. And then managed it in just 15m37s!

Whirlwind is so OP with some strenth boosts and extra energy 😃
