The choice to take genetic algorithm over biased cognition after mentioning how you think biased cog is maybe the most powerful defect card is a great example of making contextual decisions in slay the spire. Defect is the best! Love the vids

Playing Reprogram on a Defect tutorial is certainly the most Baalorlord thing I can think of.

I find that defect is a power-hungry character. Echoform, Loop, Capacitor, Defragment, Biased Cognition, Creative AI, and Buffer. There's just so many. Awakened One looooooves the defect.

I’m the same way but with defect and watcher. Refreshing the basics is always great!

That was a great run! Defect is who i struggle with the most. Successful runs usually coming down to early focus orb scaling... it was cool to see a physical defect win, without claw no less!

Thank you so much for these guides!! I have about 100 hours in Slay the Spire, but never beat the heart until your guides. Just beat it with Ironclad and Silent today and about to try with Defect! Your explanations have been super helpful. :)

These guides are gold for a noob like me. I just bought the game for Switch and I kept dying over and over with the Ironclad. Once I unlocked The Silent, I beat the game in my first run with her.

Same for me here. Im struggling with Ironclad though my friend say it is the easiest character 😂 i love Silent and Defect quite alot but im still bad at the game (constantly dying in Act 2 or Act 3 Statue Head) so im here to get more tips ❤

Couldn't have asked for a more educational run. Shows how to make a defect deck work with common and often seen cards in act 1, while keeping a plan ready for scaling in act 2.

honestly, if i ever start using twitch, it'll be because of you. i'm so happy you upload to youtube, too. you're the best!!

I've only killed the heart a few times with defect. My favourite run was getting over 6 stacks of creative AI with the mummy hand relic and heatsinks -- poor guy didn't stand a chance. (And to make a terrible pun, the heart just couldn't beat it.)

Thank you for the guide! I've just reached ascension 20 with my favourite orb hoarder, and I need all the help and I can get.

Can’t wait to watch all these! I’ve gotten behind on my Baalor videos. Defect is my favorite!

I’m loving this series. It helped me win as both ironclad and silent.

These guides are awesome, thank you!

To be honest, with all the energy generation possible with Defect, getting both shuriken and kunai makes winning a hell of a lot easier. Even with just kunai replacing strength with any of the claws seen would work. Crazy game.

These videos are exceptionally well done. Thanks Baalor

I've been stuck with about 30 losses in a row at Ascension 13 on Defect and I beat 13 then 14 right after while watching some of your videos on Defect for the first time. Thanks!

Dang that’s a beefy Defect! Never leaned this hard into strength and dex on defect before, I’ll need to keep this in mind

Thanks for the tips on my 1th try i finally beat the Corrupt Heart and unlocked The Silent Beta card.

Best line at 24:20 is actually killing one of the louses with strike + rebound, and then dualcast to deal 16/finish the 2nd one. Its a one turn kill with 100% percentage chance. It still happened but because of some rng luck the way it was played. Love these videos. Feels like you broke the game once more, with kunai and shuriken. xD Then the double echo form haha.

@@santipenalver3136rebound + strike does 15 which kills the 10hp (effective 13 with curl up) Louse, dual cast is then guaranteed to target and lethal the 13hp Louse. Why are you being facetious for no reason man.

So far, The Defect is the only Character I have beaten the heart with and actually the first character I beat a third act boss with. I beat the heart by using msny orb slots and the power that summons more power cards each turn. I am currently working on beating the heart with Ironclad. I found your channel while trying to figure out how to do that.

I got my first heart kill with the Defect. It was a powers heavy build with a mummified hand I found at a shop. The hand let me often discount powerful cards like meteor, or other strong power cards, which ended up letting me chain card after card to empty my hand. It was close, but I was able to finish it by letting the heart's multi hit proc a ton of lightning orbs to spawn.

This could have been the greatest claw run I have personally ever seen.

Love making card-heavy defect decks to fight the time eater in act 3

My run had the relic that makes cards cost 0 and a creative ai+. So many powers just made everything ez

Oh believe me, chat was asking for the Claw the whole time! I felt it wasn't as appropriate for a tutorial video, however.

One key takeaway here for me was: If you have card draw you need energy. You must try to combine the two! Also: The double Hologram technique with the Turbo works very well. After rewatching and getting slightly lucky, I managed to kill The Heart on A4 ... with a very late Inserter, Frost + Lightning Orbs and a final Focus value of 26 🙂 (orange pellets helped here ... did I say "slightly lucky"? 😇 )

The slowest, BUT deepest analyst for STS available on YT.

still watching your videos April 2024! good work

Isn't it smarter to use 'Strike' + 'Rebound' on the back enemy and then use 'Dualcast' to guarantee a full clear at 24:15? If the 'Dualcast' had hit the back enemy twice, then you would have taken some (minor) damage.

@nathansmith9597

Жыл бұрын

Just commented same thing (and deleted when I saw you already said it). Dualcast first was indeed a (small) misplay, that ended up with same result. The line you propose is guaranteed t1 lethal. Interestingly he only had t1 lethal due to that rebound he just took. If it had been a strike instead of rebound he would be one point short on damage to kill the louse in back.

I would love to see a video on how to beat the heart on A20 with the defect!

Finally made it to the heart with defect for the first time and realized my entire block strategy was based on channeling frost so I very quickly died... Time for another Baalor guide

Ok, probably the most complicated character for me, maybe if I come back to the game, I may find this usefull.

thanks for putting in sections in the video unlike jorbs so i can skip past things i know well and skip right to the things i dont

I got to the heart today with an echo form, inserter and consume deck. I was blocking for over 100 each turn then it attacked for 20x12. What the heck am I supposed to do against that!

Baalorlord lord!

1:35:40 I have never seen such luck with the snake in my life. The hand even took care of the only 3.

“So, anyway, I started beaming” Please tell me that was an “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” reference.

I was playing as Defect yesterday and forgot to pick up the blue key at the chest... I was so sad...

You have violated the Law. Passing on 5 Claws.

Is that a picture of the DS1 map behind you?

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get these mods installed in my game... Any information is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

ohhh defect, im having a really hard time using this dude till i discovered the full power deck. And i got a mummified hand. I was destroying bosses in act 2, then the last boss of act 3 was that damned bird monster, killed him one time with the lightning strike shit that depends on the lightning orbs u made, 1 hit from that dude was enough to kill me

I found the silent the hardest to kill the heart with and the easiest with the defect, i suppose it’s to each their own

The defect was my favorite, and the warrior the least favorite for the first 10 ascensions, and then they promptly switched lol.

gg love the nonsense

Man I'm realizing how orb dependent I am with how I play this character

What about watcher though?

You know you watch too much Baalor when you hover over the relics to get stats on them

@24:00 it is a 25% chance not 50%.

@Baalorlord

3 ай бұрын

It is a 25% chance that both strikes hit specifically the front louse or specifically the back louse, but it is a 50% that both orbs hit the same target. Think about it like this: What the first strike hits doesn't matter, and then it is a 50% chance that the second strike hits the same louse as the first.

a great case example of where concentrating on teaching how to play can distract from actually playing. example: the first two lice fight.

Just gotta say defect was by far the easiest for me. all i need is frost, focus, and a couple blizzards and i win
