But at that point it was more curiosity than anything. I know I know, shouldn't do that too much. So I then proceeded to reset around 5-7 times, trying out different variations, in order to try and trigger different draws, effect, etc (I figured since the game is based on RNG sequencing, different moves can lead to different draws, etc). This deck isn't built to take big hits, and Time Eater would hit for 51 damage, which I would somewhat negate, but then it's next hit would turn my character into that popular breakfast item that's a form of bread Then I thought to myself, I wonder if it's at all possible to defeat Time Eater with my current deck. Maybe because I was playing on fast mode, so basically just cycling through cards and sequences quickly.Īnyway, so I restarted the battle wondering if that one move might have done the trick. I realized as it was about to defeat me that I had used certain synergetic cards in the wrong order. Here's the deck and relics I had at the end:įorce I just tried it with Time Eater. Time Dilation: All enemies start with the slow debuff.ĭeadly Events: ? Rooms can now contain Elites but are also more likely to contain Treasure rooms. Shiny: Starting deck is replaced with 1 of every rare card. The modifiers of the daily challenge were: In fact, I don't know if it even did any damage at all. Now that I think about it, it hardly did any damage. Just had an incredible and fun run with The Defect. Lighting and Frost are the main orbs to focus on. A charged Dark orb with Dualcast can be great. I don't find Dark-orb related cards to be great, but I take them sometimes. I like Meteor Strike, but only mid-late game when/if my energy is strong (have relic and/or Turbo(s), etc.). I usually take all Self Repairs I'm offered. There are a lot of meh Defect cards imho too, best to skip them. I've often thought I should try to duplicate it. Dualcast, which you can only get at the start, is quite powerful too. There's rarely a case when that's not a good card to play imho. I think one of the best Defect cards is Ball Lightning (attack & lightning orb).

Defrags are best, will take as many as I'm offered and try to upgrade them. I usually go for orb cards and power cards. Biased Cognition can be good, but you can't use it until you're sure you can finish the fight soon. Good power cards: Loop, Capacitor, Buffer, Electrodynamics (if multi enemies), Defrag, Self Repair, Storm, Static Discharge. The results are random, but can be very powerful too, especially with power-related relics. I almost always take White Noise cards and even Creative AI (trickier). Orbs are unaffected by a lot of buffs/debuffs, so you have to keep that in mind.ĭefect has power synergies. I think it's best to mostly have one type, though mixing some can work. I think of it as orb cards and regular attack/defense/debuff cards (like Streamline or Claw and Beam Cell or Go For the Eyes). I think one of the issues with it is that it has cards in at least 2 categories that don't really synergize with each other at all. I love Defect, but I still lose with it regularly. A chunk of damage followed by a bonus turn. Now that I think about it, I wonder if that's exactly what it's meant for. But the whole point in the first place is to rotate orbs anyway, so maybe the purpose of the meteor card is to do a nice 24 damage, and set up your very next turn to have +3 energy.

My main hesitation with the meteor card is that I'll likely be channeling other orbs, so the plasmas won't stay in play for long. It has an image of something running/rushing. Blanking at the moment on the name of the card. But I can definitely get to 5 with that 0 cost card that gives you +2 energy and a void card. I didn't yet try that meteor card, the one that does 24 damage and channels 3 plasma, because a 5 cost is. That deck barely had any orb cards anyway, so the price of -3 focus didn't matter much. Just tried out Hyper Beam, a card I've always skipped before. Regarding the Defect, since you mentioned OP, I've actualy recently been experimenting with OP cards on purpose, since so many of my runs with the Defect don't get me past Act 2. Are you saying that you're playing chess because Watcher is OP (I don't know if Watcher is or isn't OP) and needs little attention, or that you don't enjoy using Watcher and would simply rather play chess?

Play chess I'm not entirely sure what you mean, as I don't even have that update and know nothing about Watcher.
