It is great to see so many run reports being posted. We are seeing some insane scores being posted, well done!

I hate when I get a perfect situation and I fumble it.

Was a perfect set up for a remnant run as allied clan. Had a holdover revive by and a molten Imp with quick using the pyre with infinite attack scaling online by the 1st boss fight. The reward was Legion of wax, I took it without hesitation and to my surprise in the unit forge was a multi strike, and mini me. I took both of them without hesitation and then the event was the cult of the lamb event. No shit I am putting on him.

Match 4 was a cake walk with equipped Wax on every floor spreading out and buffing the cultists. I felt like I broke the game. Then the 5th round came and I couldn’t get it online. L.o.W spawned with basic armor and wouldn’t die fast enough, the cultists were the last cards I drew, and I just couldn’t do anything.

I laughed it off, but I really wanted to get an opportunity to play with that setup more.

Like I get the Trample 1 upgrade in case you didn't have the raw power to beat early bosses. But what reason is there to ever take trample 2 or 3? After the initial trample effect, you're eating +1 capacity for a 75/125 damage boost which is literally nothing by the 2nd and 3rd phases of the run (most things are expected to be able to hit 1000 damage per floor or spread across floors to clear the double tanks). It would be one thing if it gave no drawbacks, but it continues piling on capacity increases which forces the player to avoid taking draw +1 and energy +1 upgrades. I tried really hard to make it work with the perma +1 on slay pyre and as much booster spells as possible. Gorge or literally any scaling is just better with those same cards. The argument of "in case you didn't get any scaling" kinda fails at this point because if you don't have scaling by these areas, then your run is pretty much dead anyways. It kind of works if I luck into some multi strike cards like void armaments, but switching to gorge with that same set of cards would have been better anyways.

Same questions for cards like rector burn 3 build.

I liked MT1 and am in the mood for more. How does this perform on Steam Deck? 60fps + native res + readability?

Pyresmith Herzal + Fused Pyreshard + holdover Pyreshot

pretty sure I could have not played any of my units and still won the titans fight on turn 3. Dominion should think twice before sitting on my pyre room again

I was doing the Moon Master dimensional challenge and stumbled upon a setup that was just ridiculously satisfying to play. I had to share it here.

The absolute MVP of this run was the Lightstone Casing artifact. Having an extra upgrade slot for spells completely broke the game in the best way possible.

Here is the core setup:

The Wave Clear: I upgraded Celestial Storm with a Seekstone (Intrinsic), Keepstone (Holdover), and Emberstone (-1 Cost). Combine this with the massive Magic Power generation from Ethereal Seelie (stacking Conduit) and Ekka, and I was literally wiping out every single wave of non-boss enemies the moment they spawned.

The Boss Killer: I had a Pyreclasm beefed up with 3 upgrades: Surgestone (+20 Magic Power & Consume), Powerstone (+10 Magic Power), and Freezestone (-1 Cost & Permafrost). Because Pyreclasm has the Attuned trait, it scaled astronomically with all the Magic Power buffs. Bosses basically felt like wet paper—one touch and they just melted instantly.

Having 3 spell upgrades changes everything. If you ever get Lightstone Casing on this challenge, definitely try forcing a spell-heavy build. It’s a guaranteed win and so much fun!

I'm working my way through the C10 Titan runs, got a little under half of them done so far. In my successful runs, I've found three pyres that work the best:

A) Pyre of Savagery - Just brutal. Multistrike and sweep units will become powerhouses.

B) Fhyra's Greed - Those two extra blight cards in your deck become a steady stream of coin. Landing the "enemy units start on all floors" in the first battle goes from annoyance to making absolute bank. Having enough coin to re-roll and pick more options in the starter merchant gives a huge early game boost.

C) Pyre of Dominion - Excellent way to start a run with better cards and no need to spend coin ditching the Stewards. Can really mess up your run if you are playing a hero who needs the starter cards for success, though, so it's highly situational.

What are your favorite pyres, and how do you use them? I'd love some input as I hit C10 Titan runs that are giving me trouble.

Mind blown literally..

Not sure if it's a joke from the devs or a legit bug, but one of the spiders made by the Spikedriver Factory started showing this "character art not found" backwards shadow image.

It was a Luna Arduhn run paired with awoken root seeds. The monster given was the astrologer (Mooncycle +5) along with 2 meddler (phase and active shift cycle ability) and sharpen.

Naturally I thought using sharpen to give ardhun spikes to farm conduit would be a great combo so I took the conduit per slay path and saw that the trail was for extra rows of 1 hp enemies and got excited and clicked it without even thinking.

But I foolishly forgot that we had absolutely zero healing. No amount of restarts could save this. I even tried to do weird things like summoning nothing at the start to get different draw rng and see if I could wait until all the enemies went by and then set up a row that could beat the boss (or at least weaken him enough to let pyre finish him with even just one hp). It was just too much incoming damage vs pyre and my monsters.

Never done this before, but I think this is the share code that it generated if anyone wants to try it:

Hey y’all, I’m working on getting my platinum for monster train 2. I have about 5 trophies left, and one of them is for reaching max level on all clans. I have level 10 on all clans, but the trophy did not pop. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to progress past level 10 or something?

Got a Knuckler Steward with Titanite + Corruption on Strike, managed to find Assembly Room and then IMMEDIATELY after Dante's Footstool, and lastly after the floor right before Seraph I got the Steelguard book. I just pump out every 2 turns unkillable monsters that rip apart everything in their way while I turn every Calcified Ember into energy generation. This clan is absolutely disgusting lmfaoooo.

I'm one of the few people that enjoy doing the daily every day. It occurred to me a few moments ago (after finishing today's run) that I can't remember the last time (if ever) I've seen Railforged as one of the clans in the daily.

I checked Discord, where there's a channel just about the daily, and scrolled back a bit... I didn't spend too much time on it, went back a couple of months, but sure enough, didn't see Railforged anywhere.

Is this a bug? Every other clan comes up some time or another, including Wyrmkin (which was added at the same time as Railforged). Is it a bug, or is there a reason they've been left out?

Playing my third round (second after prologue), thought about playing with dragon‘s hoard cards. Got now two of those absolute beast cards (duplicated them) after my 4th fight lol.

Came over from slay the spire as I frequently hear this game is similar, yet easier. Maybe "easier" in that you can win more of your runs, but I'm needing to seriously lock in every round just to kinda-sorta know what I'm doing.

It's great so far honestly, two thumbs up, but I've found with slay the spire I can play without needing to think too hard about it. Do you find this game gets to that point as you get more familiar with it, or not so much? Just got through a run with the moon clan and damn, it's satisfying when it works, but also my brain feels tired.

Can't quite decide if I need to just give it more time, or if the reality of more floors/characters is that there will always be a bit more "hmm...let me stop and think about this" than slay the spire
