consider: there is only one archetype, just get block cards, generate stars, and then maybe slot in a sovereign blade synergy or card creation synergy if you have space
im on ascension 5/6 with the ogs(ironclad, silent, defect) and ascension 10 on the love of my life necrobinder. but im ascension 1 with this guy. played one run, won, didn't feel like trying again, hes boring.
Other people might use a sword…it might get big even…
Me?
While you were using the sword, I MASTERED THE SPEAR!
…
…what do you mean I ran out of stars? The Act 3 boss has TWELVE HP LEFT NOOOOOOOOOO
Easily the hardest character starting out, until you get a handle on what cards it has and how to make them work together
The handle: Always pick CHARGE!
Reminds me of high ascension Silent in STS 1 where you have to give absolutely zero thought to cool synergies and just take individual good cards while keeping an eye on block density. Except you start doing this at A0.
Ironclad: AC10 cleared
Silent: AC10 cleared
Defect: AC9 Cleared
Regent: i haven't evne got 2 act 2 with him yet I keep dying how does this character work
As soon as I got wins with them and started thinking "oh maybe this works well with Orbit" the game refused to give it to me ever again.
Oh well. At least the sword is really, really big when I die.
The 'spam stars all day every day' build can get a ton of block but it's so reliant on rare engine cards.
So the best way to make him work is just go infinite or lose.
