    I just did, Creative AI, Glacier, Glacier, Zap, and Dualcast. All upgraded. Only picked up glacier early to stay alive, and then Creative AI at the boss. Turns out it's a pretty good card when it gives you multiple sources of focus and capacitors. Astrolabe'd into second Glacier. Picked up Data disk, and a medkit. made like 1,500 gold that run with an early golden idol and then trading it away too. Got mummified hand and Cursed crown, but wasn't extremely relevant. Final boss was Timeater, so the fight was a breeze.

This is an infinite loop where you play Inner Peace and Eruption, get your energy back and draw both cards due to Rushdown's effect.

    I got the trophy on PS4 some half a year ago with: 2x Defend+, Demon Form+, Bludgeon+ and Shockwave+. I was really surprised that so few block cards got me through Act 3, but I had Snecko Eye after Act 1 and quite often I could play these high energy cards on turn 1, especially that I also had a relic for +2 strength and +10 block turn 1, and an Ice cream relic for conserving unused energy between turns. Also, I got a relic for all removal costing 50 and after Act 2 I picked up +2 str (enemies +1). All in all, I felt very strong and it was a very satisfying run ;) Will try now to get it on PC.

Luckily, I looked through my relics and found I had one that dealt 5 damage to all enemies for every 3 skills played.

    A fun combo for watcher is; Eruption+, Vigilance+, Rushdown+, Deus Ex Machina+ and Conjure Blade+. You are guaranteed to draw Deus Ex Machina which adds 3 extra miracles to your hand for a total of 4 (assuming you kept starting relic). With this and maybe an extra energy from a relic, you get a 1 cost Expunger worth 8x5 or 9x5, or 6/7x5 if you needed to Vigilance on turn 1 to block damage. The Expunger generally ends up being worth more due to strength and rage stance. You also play Rushdown so your collective hand, draw and discard is just Eruption, Vigilance and Expunger. From there you can play Eruption > Expunger > Vigilance as many times as you can in a turn, either once or twice depending on energy relics, and Expunger does a solid 150 per use. It's a lot flashier and quicker than the Feel No Evil infinite.

    nice one man. I will try it. its a difficult one for sure. Without the autoshield which is pure defense value at 1 cost, and the 2 early claws, i'm not sure what other cards can really replace these for a whole run, cause the scaling from the claws is indeed needed and is relevant throughout the whole run. Also the inserter, the smiling mask and the frost core did insane job on this. Not sure if it would be even remotely achievable without the luck on those relics.

    Vigilance, Rushdown, Tantrum (Unnecessary, was using Eruption until I got below 5 cards, so swapped it for no real reason...). + Violet Lotus. I went for Watcher, as her starter cards are almost enough for an infinite... First attempt I almost got it, added Rushdown on floor 1, and Inner Peace soon after, sadly was about 20 gold short to remove a card when I got to the last shop... A few tries later I got it, Added Rushdown, then got Violet lotus, so only a single card was needed to be added... However I did get really lucky with events, in addition to remove 2 cards as meow bonus in exchange for Current HP, I somehow managed to get down to 4 cards early act 3, so I picked up a tantrum for a tiny bit faster kills. Followed by removing down to the following three cards when fighting The Awakened One: Vigilance, Rushdown, Tantrum. Had it not been for Violet Lotus I'd have needed an Inner peace, however that would not have generated block. Not that block would have mattered for any boss but Time Eater. Also note that thanks rushdown + tantrum being able to draw cards, I don't need to get down to 5 cards to get the infinite rolling, so I pathed pretty heavily into Elite combats, this is because they give more gold, and removals get very expensive.

    I got it my first try with the Watcher! It was actually my first victory at all with the watcher, I usually have trouble managing her forms - not an issue when you're always holding Vigilance and Eruption. Deck was: - Flurry of Blows - Eruption - Vigilance - Ragnarok - Wallop/Sanctity (I lost Wallop to the Fall event, then bought Sanctity at a shop) Flurry-Vigilance-Flurry-Eruption-Flurry-Miracle-Ragnarok won most normal fights turn 1. I managed to get the Runic Pyramid and Niltry's Codex, which made the deck feel much less constrained / repetitive, and the Gremlin Horn, which made it possible to kill the blobs in level 3 on turn one. Super fun, unique way to play.

    I got it on Watcher with a 2 card stance change combo (Eruption + Inner Peace) using Rushdown to draw back into them. Easiest way IMO. Even had Time Eater as my final boss.

    I did it with Searing Blow, upgraded many times. Backed by Pommel Strike and five energy by act 3, this card won the run.The bigger challenge was removing the excess cards, but Neow helped with 2 free removals and I got two removal events during the run.

    I managed to do it with Watcher. My 5 cards was Vigilance+, Eruption+, Protect+, 2x Battle Hymn (only 1 upgraded). Boss relics was Fusion Hammer and Empty Cage. Picked up Dead Branch (which I shouldn't have) and it flooded my draw pile. Luckily I was still managed to pull through and defeated Awakened One

    Zap, Dualcast, Darkness x2, Cold Snap - all upgraded with nothing other than the starter relic even interacting with orbs. First boss relic was empty cage, but I skipped the second boss relic. The deck was decent enough output and being able to select which orbs to play in what order and when to evoke, dualcast, or pass them gave enough flexibility to cover most fights. The rest I made up for with pots.

    Maaaaan I had almost the same start here, with 2 claws, but never got any reliable source of block like Auto-Shields. That makes this SOOOOO much more difficult. I also came up one shy on removals, but after a couple random card transformations I had 3 Claw, 2 Hologram (which I used to re-draw my Claws and speed up their progression), and 1 Leap (that I got by transformation.) Sooooo close to being doable.

    I got minimalist with silent - on low Ascension. It involved getting a piece pipe from neow as a relic reward and then toking constantly, picking up 2 heel hooks in act 1 and going to every campfire. With neutralise I was going infinite by act 2. I got a third heel hook and after image and even managed to beat the heart by just tanking it's hits (wouldn't work on higher Ascension due to 2 damage beat of death and ascenders bane). Time eater would have killed it of course and with no shuriken it took forever to kill anything but it did work. I even managed to upgrade a heel hook by the last bonfire lol.

    The most fun way I did (I’ve done this a few times) this was as Defect using Discovery+, Coolheaded+x2, Fission+ and Streamline+. Coolheadeds allow me to redraw the Discovery and whatever is generated, Fission allows me to do this a lot of times on turn 1, Streamline is how I didn’t die in act 1, and Discovery is a very fun card as defect. With it, I can usually generate a recycle, a plasma orb, and a multicast in the first few turns, but can struggle if I don’t get very lucky. Lucky for me, the fission and one of the Coolheadeds were from an Astrolabe, so it was rad. After also getting Empty Cage from act 2, I decided to mess around with some shop items like Medkit and Discovery, as I thought my deck without it died to Time Eater as I didn’t do enough with just a Zap in its place. Against the Time Eater, I just found like four storms and a Thunder strike, and that was good enough to win on exactly one health. Since I am insane, I also decided to fight the heart for some reason. I proceeded to remove the Zap at the end with the rest of my money. Against the act 4 elites, I get kinda chunked but still manage to come out with double digits of health, and wouldn’t you know it, at the 11th hour, I get a Sundial from the elites. Proceed to generate infinite energy and block against the heart, and then somehow manage to get the main Gameplan online by turn 3. With 999 energy and 995 block, I watch a dark orb get evoked around 1000 times and watch the heart withe in pain. I then let it do the honors, and have it kill itself on my Bronze Scales I got from my second elite, Lagavulin. One of the best and most difficult runs I’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend. Edit: Also, shoutout to the random artifact potion on like floor 3 helping me not auto-lose to Chosen. If you are doing this challenge and find an artifact potion, I HIGHLY recommend this, as I’ve had similar decks die immediately to Chosen.

    Defect with: Claw+, Glacier+, Sweeping Beam+, Charge Battery+, and Hologram+. Some notable relics were: Toxic Egg, Inserter and Incense Burner. I was really lucky with my transforms (I took Pando's Box and some other transform events) and basically just outblocked Donu and Deca while scaling up Claw. Having only Sweeping Beam and Zap for 2 bosses for damage was terrifying.

    Mine was on Watcher with Vigilance, Empty Body, Prostration, and 2 Pressure Points. I had Unceasing Top to help with draws and going in and out of calm for energy. It’s crazy too, because I had so many attempts on Defect that just couldn’t make the cut in Act 3. But then I tried it once on Watcher and got it. I saw PP on floor two and thought “well if I’m gonna have a small deck, this would be a good card to play a bunch”. Turns out it’s actually CRAZY good if it’s the only card you’re playing hahah

    I beat the game with 3 cards- Fear No Evil, Eruption, and Rushdown. It’s an infinite loop, but you can’t rely on getting it until later in the run; surviving until that point is the challenge. I had to face the Time Eater that attempt but I still won

    Just beat it with watcher despite never actually getting the rushdown I was looking for lol. My final deck was vault, carve reality, fne, eruption, and vigilance (all upgraded of course). I did have some pretty great luck for my relics unlike my deck though. Some notable relics were gremlin horn, nunchaku, ink bottle, lantern (which was huge in getting big setup and damage with the vault round 1), and ornamental fan. I also got an astrolabe after the act 1 boss that gave me a judgement, like water, and carve reality from. The judgement was actually hugely helpful with how well it synergized with gremlin horn, a lot of the group bosses would have been much more difficult if I didn't have those 2 things, and the judgement survived until floor 46.

    I just tried for my first time after watching this video. I was unable to get under 8, but I had one of my more enjoyable runs with Ironclad, where I actually made Clash work, of all cards! I was unable to get rid of 1 strike and 3 defends, but I had _Thunderclap_ for applying vulnerable for just 1 energy, _Sever Soul_ for getting rid of unwanted cards, _Shrug It Off_ for early card draw and some block(this one was probably redundant), _Dual Wield_ to make more Clashes, and of course _Clash_ . Key relics were _Incense Burner_ which helped out because of my lack of defensive cards and _Medical Kit_ , which allowed me to get rid of status cards when Sever Soul was unavailable. I also had a _Shuriken_ , which with the abundance of Clashes helped me power up quickly.

Got to upgrade my whole hand first turn and keep buffing sear blow while killing most things instantaneously. Searing blow is so much better when you draw it, buff it, and swing with it twice almost every turn!
