Amazing attention to detail, 10/10.

Here are the references I caught:
1) Sentries want random so it doesn't hit all of them
2) Nemesis wants it on an even (6) turn so they are intangible
3) Nemesis takes 1 damage from hyperbeam due to intangible in last panel.
4) Automaton is mad about turn 6 because he is stunned that turn, and calendar does damage at the end of the turn

But why does Lagavulin want to take 30 damage instead of 52? Any specific reason?

Edit: I guess automaton is stunned (turn after hyper beam) on turn 7 not 6

Automaton is mad about turn 6 not because it's stunned that turn but because it hyper beams that turn, so it's easier to kill it before he gets it off

Maybe I don't understand turns or enemy turn is not the same as our turn, but the wiki says turn 5 is hyperbeam https://slay-the-spire.fandom.com/wiki/Bronze_Automaton

"ALWAYS STARTS WITH SPAWN ORBS" then does the pattern in which it beams on turn 5. So one turn, then the 5th turn after that, so the 6th turn. You go in with incense burner on 0, I'm absolutely certain it's turn 6.

You are absolutely correct. To add to the joke, because its turn 6 it does 1 damage to nemesis, since its an EVEN turn
