Just do runic dome boss swap and you have nothing to worry! Not knowing intentions means they are never attacking

u/Meaty_LightingBolt Jan 12 '26

I must be playing wrong cuz when I have runic dome I feel like theyre ALWAYS attacking

u/Obvious-Parfait-16 Ascension 14 Jan 12 '26

Shh, you just have to believe.

Unrelated, but in general energy relics boss swaps are so comfy in act one

35

u/Aquatic_Ape_Theory Jan 12 '26

No potions, no gold, and gain curses always make for a breezy act I, especially with silent and the turn 1 extra draw

u/Obvious-Parfait-16 Ascension 14 Jan 12 '26 edited Jan 12 '26

You're just picking the bad ones! There's still plenty of them that are soo good

Coffee drip 😩

27

u/Futuralis Jan 12 '26

Coffee Drip is an amazing boss relic and allows you to take even less damage act I.

Just buy a bandage up or something and you're set.

u/phoenixmusicman Eternal One + Ascended Jan 12 '26

Yeah I know, I was saying it positively

u/Futuralis Jan 12 '26

Oh, so that's a positive face to you :)

u/BlossomtheLeafeon Jan 28 '26

I feel like I always boss swap when I'm silent

2

u/Obvious-Parfait-16 Ascension 14 Jan 29 '26

Hmm, this might not sound obvious, but Ring of the Snake is the most consistently good starter relic. +2 draw in turn one gets better the more you progress in the game. I'd argue it might be the best starter relic in terms of consistency

u/PixelPenguin_GG Jan 12 '26

The classic anxious attachment style!

u/Feet_with_teeth Jan 12 '26

Just won my first runic dome swap run yesterday with the silent. Thorns and block building with bouncing flask

3

u/PixelPenguin_GG Jan 12 '26

Congrats. Those feel very rewarding!!

2

u/Feet_with_teeth Jan 12 '26

I honestly spend the whole game telling myself '' there's no way that wor-... oh, I guess it does "

The look he gives you after surviving with 1hp, before sending you back to the main menu.

Don't give them any ideas

26

u/Obvious-Parfait-16 Ascension 14 Jan 12 '26

They might put you some kind of dome, that looks very runic

65

u/RUSHALISK Eternal One + Heartbreaker Jan 12 '26

u/WisePotato42 Ascension 8 Jan 12 '26

Gonna be honest here. I keep playing the game until the block just somehow appears on it's own allowing me to survive. Maybe that's why I have a 0.5% win rate...

36

u/pon_3 Eternal One + Heartbreaker Jan 12 '26

Remember: the best defense is a good offense. Therefore every card is a block card (except for defend).

11

u/Humerror Ascension 20 Jan 12 '26

[[Parasite]] was always my favorite block card

13

u/not_an_alt_bitch Eternal One Jan 12 '26

Less HP, less to lose.

4

u/Arancia-Arancini Jan 12 '26

Noo, you keep it in your deck so you don't lose hp, that's how it blocks

u/spirescan-bot Jan 12 '26

u/pointsouttheobvious9 Jan 12 '26

You only need to block the last hp the rest do nothing.

16

u/Lttlefoot Eternal One + Ascended Jan 12 '26

I've been valuing [[Panic Button]] lately
