The Boons that you get from making people love you might be small, but it's an investment, or a gift that keeps on giving, especially if you synergize it with other things. Also also also like in real life, making people hate you is really bad.

Also like real life, all you have to do is get them drunk and give them money, and they'll love you! Also also like in real life, killing people is no good, and will make people hate you. Just like in real life, you need friends. It also helps to view their 'Death Card', or the item they drop upon their death, but watch out, because that leads to. It also very much helps to view about what the enemy is going to do that turn (attack, apply status effect, etc) so you know if applying defense to yourself instead of your pet is a good idea. It's a lot easier to talk to the assassin when you apply composure to the things their about to attack, dealing damage to them instead. Those Admirality hammer-boys get stronger if they deal unmitigated damage to you, so be especially defensive when it comes to them. Not every enemy in the game has such a glaring weakness, but it's still something to make note of. I don't have to deal a lot of damage to them.

BUT, when I fought him again, I decided to look at the robots' abilities, and viola! Turns out that hitting them three times makes them explode. When I first faced up against Jeol, I was like, 'Ha! I'll just stab the guts out of Jeol! I'm not gonna try to deal 30ish damage to the robots if he's just gonna summon more!' As their robots continued to shoot me to the ground, I figured my strategy wasn't working. What enough is, I can't give a number for, but as you play the game, you'll get a feel for it (more on that later). You don't have to fill your deck with defensive cards, though just get enough. Defensive cards are very necessary, apparently, because when Sparky's big gun was aiming directly for a headshot, my three 'Reckless Swing' cards didn't save me. Why would I do that if I could just talk to the bartender to heal back up? It's unnecessary!Īfter dying several times, it occurred to me that healing during battle is rare and small, maybe 1-4 HP at a time. When I first played Griftlands, I was hesitant to ever get defense cards. The Best Offense is Being Alive to Use It (Note that this is in all characters' stories, I'm just using Sal's deck as an example) Small decisions like that can affect the rest of the game moving forward. if you have a deck that inflicts a lot of Bleed, don't pick the graft that gives you an action in exchange for removing all of the opponent's bleed every turn. If you choose a Dominance centered deck, then you should pick up more Hostility (red) cards. For example, if you chose a Combo centered deck, you should get a lot of cards to either build your Combo or 'Finishers' to spend it. When you start Sal's story, you'll note that Sal's Blades and Sal's Instincts force a choice on you the former, do something with Combo or Bleed, and the latter, do something with Influence or Dominance.įocusing your deck will most likely involve taking that decision and running with it, making decisions later on to build off from it. Again, comment section.įocus Your Decks (and everything around them) I am relatively good at the game, I have 100% on all the characters and have gotten most of the achievements, but I'm not gonna say that I'm the best of the best at it. Note that I'm an idiot, so people in the comment section will either point out things I got wrong or give more tips! Title says all! I had never played a Deck-Builder game (like Slay the Spire) until this game, so here's some tips I found out through too long of playing.
