I beat A20 defect for the first time 8)
Image
neow replaced cracked core with astrolabe, which turned strike strike defend into All For One+, Scrape+, Hello World+
All For One can be absolutely bonkers
Ornamental Fan and Kunai were great and was huge to get Med Kit and Runic Capacitor from a store
pretty lucky!

i feel like Defect can often be "i didn't get good orb cards and lost horribly" or "i got the good orb cards and won easily". this was definitely the latter!

I just now noticed that the word aspire is basically just ass-spire. Given your recent successful run, what are your thoughts on this?

In an impressive case of staircase wit, I'd like to add a snide remark to the previous discussion about whether snecko eye (I) would be stronger sans confusion. That would make it Bag of Preparation + 2x Lantern + 2x Machine Learning+

Don't @ me
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

but that's worse than what it actually would be, because innate cards still take up a card slot
you could just say that it's bag of prep + 2 pre-installed machine learnings
or maybe just 2 ring of the serpents

Oh I think it's actually a lot better than snecko would be, you don't have to play the machine learnings turn 1, plus there's interactions with other cards/relics when you play a power

Oh yeah I forgot about ring of the serpent. I don't play silent

clearing A11 with reprogram can be fun and clearing A20 with reprogram will make me die (not in the game)
is how i imagine this going

but perhaps I'll orb it up, we'll see

I'm really excited to mod the crap out of this game but I want to feel like I have mastered the base game before I do so

the reprogram deck is basically the 0 cost card deck taken to its logical extreme

cards to keep in mind for the archetype outside the obvious 0 cost card synergy stuff:
-fusion+
-hologram+
-hyperbeam
-skim
-rebound

one upside is that the fusion core boss relic is basically just no-downside energy

i try to force the deck every time and get rid of the two defect starting cards right off the bat.

i like how every relic is pulling huge weight here (except for Darkstone Pereprieaipt; such a bad relic)
(also i should note that's the +1 card/turn relic that replaces silent's starting relic; they look very similar

yeah. i like that you get 1 strength basically automatically so it doesn't feel like a waste if you don't commit to it
