[Slay the Spire] Defect Dominance - A4 Heart
0This entire build was so blessed that I had to record the Heart because the loadout became, quite frankly, indestructible. There were a lot of close calls along the way to get it to that point, of course. You gotta really push to get as many Elites and Upgrades as possible and get a little lucky as well.
The luckiest thing that happened was I got the option to take 999 Gold for a Curse, that was located right before a Shop in early Act 3. But then the Remove Card function didn't work at the first Shop for some reason???? It only worked when I tried again right before the Heart 🤷♂️ So the leadup was actually very sketchy since even though my deck was cracked, there were turns when I could only play 3 cards (or less, since I had the Timekeeper to deal with 😨).
There was probably a strat to take no damage whatsoever in this fight but I opted for the guaranteed fast setup instead. I did get a little overconfident and reckless toward the end and forgot to block at the start of my turn, so took 3 unnecessary damage 💢 but otherwise the fight went pretty perfect 😎 7 HP lost 'intentionally', 5 HP healed via Potion, 3 HP unnecessarily lost for a total of net -5 HP. Not too bad!
I had a lot of fun on this run despite Defect not being my favorite character. He just feels very high-rolly - sometimes you'll get a great start and some combo pieces that really line up, but most of the time you're grasping at straws.
Hope you enjoy this fun boss fight!
