I think spire might be the only game that comes close to making hyperdefensive strategies as much fun as aggressive ones.

After seeing this vid, I managed to immediately win the game with the Ironclad. You have given me valuable info like NOT picking cards. I lost track of all cards I did not pick with pain in my heart but my deck was lean and full of useful stuff. Thanks! Great video

Your videos have helped me so much and I just beat the heart on ascension 18 for the first time yesterday!

Let's goo, more Baalor beginner content, I benefited from your content and improved my gameplay a lot since I purchased the game like a few months ago, I hope many other people can do it with videos like this as well!

Nice. Heart gets harder later, but the first heart win is something special.

Another great guide. sometimes you tend to forget the fundamentals of the game going into the higher levels. But these remain true no matter what difficulty level one plays. Highly recommend the twitch channel, one of the nicest communities on twitch: extremely nice ,helpful and excellent spire players hangs there. answering questions and discussing spire tactics while Baalor is doing his usual shenanigans.

Thank you SO MUCH for the content Baalor. Before I found your channel, I was fumbling my way up to A7-8… over the last 3 months I’m A18-A20 on all characters… and today I was 12 Hit Points away from completing my firsf A20 Heart Run with IronClad. You’ve taught me the importance of card draw, deck manipulation, and above all else that sometimes the best Card Reward is none at all. Cheers! = D

You literally have the best content. I love the way you explain the options, tech, and nuances of the game. It's all so beautiful. Thanks for the guide Baalord! Much appreciated 🙏

This is by far most informative and educational Ironclad guide, thank you so much!

Nice, I like the education stuff on fundamentals during these videos, will be interesting to see more of these, for other classes as well. Also I know its not possible to plan beforehand for this, but there are a few strong archetypes in each class (well sort of), so seeing some form of tutorial/walkthrough for each of those different cases would be good, as it would highlight quite different paths to deckbuilding. This was the barricade ironclad, but its also interesting to see a more exhaust-heavy deck how it plays, or just a strength deck in action a different example. This goes to other classes as well. Cheers

Excellent content. Loving these videos. Recently purchased the game and really appreciating the outstanding, organized and well articulated commentary.

After weeks of trying to get this I finally took the time to watch a video on how to do this. I watched half your video and understood the mentality to have. Tried a few times and finally got it. Thank you so much. you probably saved me another 2 weeks or so of game play. First time beating the heart and it feels amazing

What an awesome video! The way you explained everything was amazing. I really enjoyed this playthrough!

Thanks so much. You do a fantastic job explaining things to a newbie

Thanks for this! I've beaten the Heart as Silent and Defect (haven't seriously tried with Watcher) but Ironclad eludes me, despite many many consecutive tries. You're an enjoyable host and clearly explain your thought processes. Very helpful!

I love the beginners content. Your watcher video and other content got my watcher from asc 2 to 9, and my first heart kill.

That's a great guide! I love how you get into each and every intricacy of the game as you play. Recently my save file on the PS5 got corrupted just the day after I beat the Corrupted Heart with the Ironclad for the first time (it was a fluke) so this guide will definitely help me beat the Heart once again and reclaim that spicy alternate card artworks

Following your videos (Ironclad card tier list and Minimalist achievement) I have combined the two: Rampage / Shrug it off are pretty good together. Took me a few attempts, and time-eater battle was tight, but it can be done.

Might have to stop by a livestream sometime. I absolutely adore this little game, and your videos are well put together and your advice is so helpful, even if I have yet to win more than a single run lol. I just love seeing all the potential combos and playstyles

Glad I found your channel. Picked this game up on sale and am really enjoying it. Just beat act 3 of ascension 1 for first time this morning

17:30 "we're offered our first power" Rupture: am I a joke to you?

I just started playing this week, and was kind of struggling with putting together a cohesive deck, and when I did put one together, it just wasn't enough to win. I watched this entire video and pretty much copied this block build card-for-card, and immediately got my first win on my first attempt. I also slotted in a few Body Slams so I didn't have to rely on that block chip-damage from Juggernaut as much and I could get through things just a bit faster. Time to spend 5 hours watching the videos for Silent and Defect now lmao

Only watched half of this so far. Played a run and actually got to the end for the first time.

Had a run with 3 upgraded demon forms and as long as I got atleast one of them early combat it made every fight a cake walk. Most satisfying run ever.

I’m ascension 14 for all characters and I’m watching a beginner guide because baelord lol

Even though I’ve played 1000 hours of this game, I love watching your basic stuff!

I’m stuck on A5, hopefully this video will help

im quite new to this channel and this is the first vid im watching, but this guy sounds so much like michael scofield and i love it

Great tip about Headbutt plus Entrench. 999 Block here I come!

I have to admit, I like Limit Break+ way more than I should even with just the strength from the Vraja relic.

He makes it look so easy...

Will you be doing one of these for the defect? I struggle with this class and have been stuck on A11 for days.

I loved watching this, thank you ☺️ Question though: how do I make the elites that drop a key appear? I can't see the little glowing flame around the elites on the map.

You have to first unlock the heart by winning a run with Ironclad, Silent and Defect. You can't fight it immediately on your first run, it's more of a "true ending".

watched the vid, played one round as ironclad, got first heart kill as ironclad. easy game and W video

I played this video along with my Ironclad run, and I beat the heart about 4 minutes after this video’s heart died. Thank you

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS my lowest win rate is on ironclad 💀

"We've encountered our first power of the run" Rupture: am I a joke to you?

I got to the final act 3 boss on a9 with a cycle through the whole deck block deck that would be able to kill the heart and forgot to take the blue key 🙄 thankfully I've killed the heart before so it's not that I'm missing a new experience it's just annoying haha

I'm stuck at 5, can't wait to play again.

Damnit I was hoping to beat Act 4 with Ironclad without using a defensive build. Last two runs I had incredible strength scaling but the elite and heart shredded me every time.

I ALWAYS do burning elite in area 1, and try getting all 3 keys unless i can’t handle it. But i avoid more elites. Maybe my bad.

Wasn't it worth to pick warcry in the last shop? It looked like 2 draw for free in my view but I can be wrong

You are the best

You could have had a 1HP upgraded elite :P 1 monster, 2 shops, 2 events.

@tomthecasual5337

Жыл бұрын

not worth it though, since you got two wasted floors in those shops + potential curse events afterwards. for this run that would cost 7 max hp, around 40 gold, one upgrade, two card rewards and a potion from the fights (the thorns pot was crucial for hexaghost) i recommend elite sniping when you got something like event->event->shop->fire->elite or you can snipe two elites in a row.

1:26:20 why get rid of speed potion instead on blessing of the forge? your whole deck is already upgraded pretty much and you have barricade, wouldn't the speed potion be better?

I play on xbox, have ascension 3. Theres no fire under an elite nor the triple shard thing in top left

I’ve been playing this on Xbox for about a year and you cannot drink potions after a battle or in a shop. Was this a recent patch or am I doing something wrong?

Body slam couldve been useful in this scenario where you have pretty much alot of def

Thanks for showing me just how bad I am at this game.

This is by far my worst character. I’m looking forward to learn what I haven’t been able to work out about him yet.

i always struggle with Ironclad, never seem to be able to get enough block

What the hell 500 hours in Slay the Spire and several things I had never noticed, like Shop layout and prices, and the Hexaghost scaling attack

My map does not show an elite with flames around...?

I have an obsession with trying to take on every elite and failing 😂

Does ascension 5 damage you? Like if you somehow manage to kill the Act 1 boss on full health, will you remain full health? Or will you take 25% damage going onto the next act?

Hm... I feel like he made the best decision not doing this, but still, he probably should've mentioned a burning elite snipe as an option. He had one guaranteed combat and 2 ? marks, giving him a good chance of having a burning elite with 1 HP. This would've been a massive boost. Admittedly, maybe less good, but still something new players should be aware of.

It's not you, I had a similar experience. Ironclad requires carefully balancing offense and defense like all other characters only with the added difficulty of treading the fine line of of deciding when to take cards that directly hit your health pool. Personally even though he's the starting character, I think his unique playstyle is tough to grasp at first. I used to get crushed on ironclad regularly, but after lots and lots of playtime, he's now my highest win rate character. And Spire on Ascension 5+ is generally a pretty tough challenge every time regardless of character. Hang in there!

Killed the heart for the first time watching this video but too bad I was playing Slay the Spire and didnt really listen to a word you said. Anyway thanks for the background noise.

I seriously love your explanations most of the video but in the interest of not having to watch 2 hour videos, you should skip the very basic tips like “cleave hits all enemies” or “intangible reduces incoming damage to 1.” U did label this as a Heart guide so it’s a little weird when you explain such elementary tips next to more advanced ones. Or like when u remove strikes, like I think we all understand why removing strikes is good and don’t need it to be explained. Maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

Tried your tips, still at the mercy of this game's insanely bad RNG.

why are all these videos so long. It would be so easy to make this a short video about 10-15 minutes
