I did the math, and the optimal way to deal with Hexaghost is to pull out your bazooka and spam a limitless supply of Cryo Balls.

For anyone wondering what's logically expected of AeceasedCrab here, the Archipelago mod's expectations for a player with 1 boss relic, 3 other relics, and 8 card rewards via Archipelago is that they'll be able to get far enough for: - All 15 card rewards that get replaced by Archipelago items. Since Archipelago only replaces every other one starting from the first, that takes 29 card rewards appearing (usually from non-boss battles, but some Neow bonuses and maybe some other things can affect this). - 7 regular relic rewards that get replaced by Archipelago items (usually from elites and chests: shop relics and event relics that don't go through a reward screen don't get replaced). - 2 sets of boss rewards (rare card + boss relic) Honestly, I feel like card rewards got too many slots and it's hard to get them all before running out of map, but even with as many as there are, Slay the Spire only has something like 29 items in it (15 card rewards, 10 relics, 2 boss card rewards, 2 boss relic rewards), so I get it. The minimum items that makes Archipelago expect actually winning is 2 boss relics, 7 total relics (so 5 non-boss relics, since I don't think there's a third boss relic anymore), and 7 card rewards, so a win on this run would be above Archipelago's expectations. Still, I hope it's a good run and that we see the second boss go down.

Ooh the Shiv chuckles! Reminds me of _"KNIFE."_ (Goodness, Beast Breaker LP was two years ago?) Good luck in The City... _I hate The City..._ You can get away with a stacked deck, too, especially with The Silent. Wouldn't be concerned. She has a lot of Draw/Discard mechanics! Small decks are slightly overrated. Never managed to build an infinite combo myself, either. Well, the Infinity achievement is waiting for me next, I suppose. After your last StS run, I booted up new runs - lo and behold, I smashed through like SIX previously elusive achievements in short succession! I even managed to _eat Donu!_ Are you a muse or something? At least you _amuse_ us with your content! Huehhue - okay I'll go-

10+10 = 20 I did the math, AC.

Well, this run is already going much better than the first attempt at Slay the Spire almost three weeks ago. Maybe you'll eventually get so many Shiv cards that you'll become a Shivan Dragon. "The undisputed master of the mountains of Shiv." :P

We've looped back to A, just in time for episode 20! Time for math!

Ah, it's AceasedCrab Goes Hiking again!

Time to go Slay that Spire again! Hooray for math indeed.

Opinion, Storm of Steel is not as good unless you have something benefiting from discard engine, or you have enough draw engine to max your hand. It's kind of a cashout card, I think? It's not *bad*, the shiv count is still very nice, but IMO Blade Dance makes an easier fit. I can't fault anyone for pickin' it tho. I mean, the allure of "now I have a hand fulla knives" is the reason I always over-pick Infinite Blades and upgrade too many and then regret it when suddenly my starting hand is Only Powers
