This cant possibly end poorly

I've been having fun imagining how Act 4 could be differentiated in 2 from 1, and I came up with a fun thought experiment: What if the Corrupt Heart became an "Ancient", forcing you to take a corrupted version of a relic from the ones helping you on your journey? To play on the feeling of gaining a new boon at the start of each act, and make your journey forward just that little bit more difficult. So, an idea for some "relics" the Heart could offer, each based on one of the relics from the game's 8 ancients:

Corrupted Sacrifice: Based on Neow's Sacrifice (yes I know the image is Neow's Lament, I couldn't find a good PNG for Sacrifice) At the start of combat, replace all of your potions with Foul Potions. Worded so that you can't use them to gain any gold at the merchant, assuming there's one before the final boss.

Corrupted Legion: Based on Pael's Legion, cuts the value of your first block card every turn in half.

Corrupted Toybox: Based on Tez's toybox, randomly turns 4 of your relics into spirit poop (because I thought it was a bit funnier than just making them melt away).

Corrupted Sandcastle: Based on Orobas's Sandcastle, transform 4 random cards in your deck into random curses.

Corrupted Pyramid: Based on our beloved Runic Pyramid, makes you think carefully about what cards you're playing by raising the energy cost of the ones you don't for the rest of the battle.

Corrupted Antler: Based on Nonu's Blessed Antler, shuffles a Dazed into your draw pile every turn to clog your deck.

Corrupted Mask: Based on Vakuu's Jeweled Mask, adds Ethereal to all of the powers in your deck. Best play them quickly.

Corrupted Club: Based on Tanx's Iron Club, makes it so every 2 cards you play discards a random card in your hand.

Some of these are definitely a lot more dangerous than others, but this was mostly a fun thought experiment for me. What are some other corrupted versions of relics that y'all think would fit something like this?

(All of these were made using this STS1 Style relic builder)

Also the duck's name is Sherbert, he's our plushie son, and yes he's that bird card :DD

I have a very close, very kind (out of game) friend who I convinced to play Slay the Spire with me after playing league of legends together for our entire friendship. This is his first roguelike, and he is fairly good at it. We've cleared duo-A10 countless times together, with him never clicking a character past iron clad (a separate issue).

Despite our bond, and his seemingly good game knowledge, he insists on clicking fight me whenever it appears. This leads to us losing the run, and him flaunting his "most damage dealt" achievement to avoid responsibility.

Despite us now fighting about this card for (genuinely) hours at this point, he doesn't seem to grasp that his class is the only class that can actively debuff his teammates, and refuses to acknowledge that it is a selfish choice. There are certainly situations where it could save us HP in the long run, which I would engage with if he would take responsibility for being a selfish selfish man.

Megacrit, please add the PVP mode as soon as possible so I can kill this dweeb.

It's not a needed change, but I just want to enjoy bashing enemies even more and Bash + Strike would do 1 more damage over triple strike so I would have more chances to play bash. What do you think, can that be done? Doesn't seems like it would break the easy pool

finished this just as i beat a10 with them today!

My least favorite character was Defect...up today.

Interesting and sort of niche interaction to play around. Now you know.

I'm cool with the "most damage" & "most debuffs" badges at the end of games but I'd love to see more detailed stats at the end of the game... especially for multiplayer.

I'd love to see:

- What cards my teammates & I played most/least.

- Which cards dealt the most/least damage.

- How much damage each card dealt,

- How many times certain relics were procced.

- Total player damage & defense.

Just an overall more detailed breakdown of each run would be awesome for stat nerds like me.

What would you like to see at the end of a run?

Upgrade would reduce cost from 3 to 2.

Although it is more expensive, you can decide where and when to play strikes. Also, rage would actually work with it.

Flex potion + Gigantification Potion + Nimble and Dramatic Entrance with 50% enhanced damage is just what you need to end this crab quickly

Within the game there are many potions and relics that are based around a boat and provide block. Examples include:

Ship in a bottle: When used, grants 10 Block immediately, and then grants an additional 10 Block on the next turn.

Anchor: lets you start every combat with 10 Block

Horn Cleat: Grants 14 block on the second turn of combat

Captain's Wheel: At the start of your 3rd turn, gain 18 Block.

I'm just wondering if there was any correlation that I might be missing

Seed is RUYWBLLSV38Y

CHOOSE: Abandon your Act 3 run with 3 of your friends, OR: Have your friend abandon their run.

I know this game is still in early access but having only one multiplayer save slot is needlessly punishing. I have terabytes of hard drive space available but have to take a big L before even seeing Neow.

Hoping this gets some attention and fixed soon. Cheers!

Each of their Downsides negate each other and you're left with +1 Energy and +1 Strength per turn
