Just discovered the joys of a Juggernaut, Rage, Iron Wave and Body Slam deck. Probably the most satisfying yet.

Didn’t get the screenshot but I did for our Timelord pal with the Watcher on A17 with Judgement. JUDGED. One for all the DiS StS thread.

I’m going for A20 heart kills now and I always aimed for a heart kill through the Ascension levels but Ive only done it a handful of times. Act 4 is fucking solid.

I love the JUDGED sound effect.

Defect A12 down with a weird sunder/meteor strike deck that only really worked because of your man snecko eye. I was using echo form and getting a ton of burst and free energy. One of those decks that worked really well but I’m not sure I will ever recreate again, a proper unicorn.

I’m coming to the grim realisation that my favourite deck archetype (pure lightning) doesn’t really work at higher ascension levels. It takes too long to develop and I don’t think this character’s blocking is good enough without frost. Which is a shame because frost is boring.

I don’t like the game at this level, you guys.

frost is boring

Think I agree with this. It doesn’t help that Blizzard (deal damage based on the number of Frost orbs channeled is mostly useless). The other thing about the Defect is that many of the different orb types don’t work well with each other. Like in the Lightning orb heavy archetype you ideally want Static Discharge. But that would render most Dark orbs useless as they will get played instantly.

In the higher ascensions with the Defect I’ve had some luck with a combo of Frost and Dark orbs. But Electrodynamics is such a powerful card it’s always tempting to pick that up.

I have had some success with Blizzard before (see upthread) but I think it relies on a relic like calipers to keep your block up. Had a lightning deck the other day with electrodynamics and all the rest, thought it was a dead cert to win and then I just got merked by the heavy hitters on level 3. Not enough block.

I feel like dark orbs are too rare. Are there any common cards that channel dark? If there was it would be so much easier to do a minimalist dark orb recursion deck but I’ve never got that to work.

#392

Most of my successful defect runs have been plasma/meteor/sunder based. Lots of energy, lots of draw cards, just keep doing stuff until you win. It’s probably a bit too random to be effective at higher levels but I’ve had a lot of fun with it.

Made it to A20 with the Watcher. Set myself up beautifully with Deva Form and 3 Omegas doing 150 per turn, still only narrowly made it past the awakened one but I’m more than ready for the Shapes.

It only resets eveything on the second boss, doesn’t it? Absolutely gutted.

Felt like a no brainer as I’m stuck in the middle of nowhere for 4 weeks without my Switch.

Definitely more cumbersome and have made some stupid mistakes cos of the UI, but 3 hours later I’m still happy.

A20, Watcher, DONE.

She doesn’t seem to get much love here but she’s my favourite character by far. There are so many things you can do and ways you can go, relies so much on working with what you’ve got than angling for a specific deck type. At least that’s how I work it. Even the horror of finding you’ve forgotten to get out of wrath by the end of your turn is better than a slow death. #TeamWatcher

Reckon Watcher’s my favourite character, or is now I’ve beaten my head to a pulp trying to beat A20 with Silent. She’s so versatile and has so many wild cards to try and build a deck around.
