Whirlwind is clearly the better pick in the beginning. I scales nicely with strength and makes multifights a breeze. Flame Barrier is nice, but early on you defenitly need damage over Block.
Agreed, I'm starting to value aoe damage quite a bit now. It's good on its own and scales so much with more enemies. They get so much better in multiplayer too since you can just shut down a row that's dangerous
Love watching your videos while I wait for my copy. My recommendation would be to delay taking those keys until your deck is really popping off. And prioritize early attack picks!
That's a good idea. The last couple of days in the video game I've been doing that and it's been working better. I think I'll still go for the elite once since I don't think it's that scary in the board game, but that's a good tip!
@@Kangorth Burning is for act 2 or three, so the burns hit less hard. You had a good Ironclad build going, I've seen what those can do, you just needed a more focused deck or better Relics. The most powerful Ironclad build I've seen had three attacks, Bash and Body Slam. It had Juggernaut to do basically all it's damage, With Metalize, Evolve, Feel no Pain further feeding the block and damage. Capped off with Barricade, The Ironclad was unstoppable. Once hitting for 80 damage on Body Slam by drawing it back three times in one turn.
@@Thornac400 I agree, spacing out the heart keys is a much better idea, it's better to get a core deck going first. Which I do in my videos after this. I'm excited to get another really good ironclad run in. It's probably around act 2 where most decks solidify into something more tangible with relics/upgrades and additional cards. I appreciate your comment, I look forward to taking the ironclad through the ascensions with the rest of my children. He's up next for filming I think 😊

Just a few Tips. Take damage over defense at the start of a run. Choose fights over events in the beginning. You need cards and potions for elites and money for the merchant. Transforming is almost always better then removing or upgrading in the beginning. The card and the potionon the left side of the shop costs 1 less.
A good option could’ve been burning pact instead of wild strike to go on the block everything path. Every time you exhaust a strike you make it more likely to combo defends, flame barriers, and your upgraded body slam plus the draw will allow you to get your 0 cost body slam back. There’s also a lot of other exhaust synergies in ironclad deck that would open up after that burning pact.
I really need to explore exhaust as well as discard for the Silent, in both video and board game. But that's a great idea, force the deck to be nothing but blocks
Great video! Been a lot of fun watching other people enjoy the game while i wait for my copy to arrive. Do you have any plans for games work multiple players?
On the 14th I'll be playing this with my friends, not sure if it will be too hard to film but I'll see if I can make it work. It will only be with the one camera, but yeah I'll see if I can make it work. Excited for you to get your copy as well ❤
It is just me or Ironclad is the most boring class in StS? I'm on A20 on Defect and Silent, but i can't get past A9 on Ironclad 😂 Great playthrough like always! Can't wait for Silent! I hope I will recieve my copy soon
I have fun with the ironclad but I'm not the best at STS. I think I got to a relative high ascension on all the characters but it's been a minute since I checked my main profile (I made a new one when this came out, ascension 4 so far on all 4)
Ironclad is my favorite character in this game. Honestly I am just now getting around to getting decent at the other characters, Ironclad is all I played for the first 400 hours or so. I am thinking about getting the board game for solo play, but in a small apartment and dont have a practicle table for this game so I may just get a bean bag chair and put that playmat on the floor lol.
@@StereoJoe you would absolutely need to go on and out of the box with reduced space for sure. But each combat is really only your play mat area and the enemy. But obviously having it all out makes things easier for sure
I'm super excited for this game, but I live in Europe and we have to wait another month before it arrives, so it's just fun watching another play the game :)
I'm excited for you to get it! You'll blink and it will be on your doorstep! I appreciate you checking out the vids, I've had a lot of fun making them 😻
Wording looks like each block you gain you deal 1 damage, so gain 4 block means deal 4 damage right? You were dealing 1 damage when you would gain any amount of block, You had it… lol
I think it says, each time you gain block, deal 1 damage. Could go either way. I'm not quite sure XD whether it is for each block you get, or each time you obtain block at all. Maybe your read is the correct one, if so it's much more powerful!
I think that if you had drawn the anger before using wild strike you could have killed the bronze automaton 🤔 Well, easy to say when I am not the one who has to think under pressure
I think what it means is, if an enemy have multiple attacks you deal 1 damage for each attack. For example, if an enemy attack you once with 4 damage, enemy takes 1 damage, but if an enemy would attack 4 times that deals 1 damage you would deal 4 instead. Hope it helps 😀

It seems you are forgetting that at each shop, you also reveal 3 cards from your reward deck which you can buy
True, I remember in the next ironclad video. Thanks for the reminder!

I will also be doing a video on stardew Valley, with some house rules attached
@@Kangorth Ooo! I love the Stardew Valley board game but it can be BRUTAL.
@@the_verTigO I'll definitely be using house rules... For those gosh darn mines
You had double weak at the end of the slimes 😢
Oh no! Haha. Whoops. I Def get better with mistakes as the videos improve, but still make them here and there 😭
It is just me or Ironclad is the most boring class in StS? I'm on A20 on Defect and Silent, but i can't get past A9 on Ironclad 😂 Great playthrough like always! Can't wait for Silent!

You could definitely play this game with less space than I present here. As you said, just a playmat would do with the box handy :)
Good to know. So the playmat just itself wouldnt provide enough space? Or it would only with the box for storing certain things?
@@StereoJoe you would absolutely need to go on and out of the box with reduced space for sure. But each combat is really only your play mat area and the enemy. But obviously having it all out makes things easier for sure
You are aware that you're playing the Ironclad, right? But the title says the Silent.
Yeah i got super exited seeing the silent and immediately got very confused
Edit:changed as i made the comment lol
Thankyou so much for the quick comment. You notified me just before I went to sleep. Should be all fixed. Sorry and thankyou!
@@blaz3st0rm12 I still appreciate it. Don't worry you got a sneak peak for the next episode!

@@laimonasvilpisauskas126 oh wow yeah so many readings I'm not sure. The app is out now maybe I'll see if there is an FAQ or something
Thankyou!
The music is distracting, and makes it hard to hear what you are saying.
@@horrido666 thanks for the feedback, music is lower in later videos. But maybe you won't like it there either. But I appreciate the comment :)
