I’m relatively new to this game, having purchased it a few months ago, and I’m still not very good at it. However, I feel like I am slowly getting better on each of the characters, with the exception of the Watcher.
I’m trying to kill the Heart on all toons before increasing to A1. I can consistently get to the heart on the 3 other characters, but cannot consistently even get past act 2 on the Watcher. I’m not sure I’ve beaten the slavers once yet on the Watcher. Does anyone have any general tips for the Watcher? I know stance dancing is important, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this without just getting murdered.
My deck never seems to scale faster than the enemies in act 2 and 3. I rarely seem to have enough damage to make switching to wrath worthwhile with the amount of damage I will then take due to enemy attacks. But I can’t sit back and wait for the ideal time to wrath as my deck never has enough defense to block turn after turn. It just seems like whatever I do, I can’t kill the enemies before losing too much health and eventually dying after several floors and fights.
It’s frustrating me that I cannot figure out how to play well with the watcher. I’m sure my card selection and turn by turn play is terrible still, but I simply don’t know what I’m doing wrong to improve.
I’ve beaten A20 with all characters (A20 heart with ironclad) except watcher. She’s still on A15 or something. Don’t know why but she still haven’t “clicked” for me and I just don’t enjoy playing her as much, even though people on the slay the spire subreddit kept saying she’s the easiest one to play.
I did beat the heart wirh her on A0 a while back with some really messy scry deck.
Edit: I think you either have to lean into the stance changing, scrying or like a calm+pressure points kinda build. There’s also apparently a pretty easy infinite you can do with her, but I’ve never tried that myself as it involves specific cards and removing basically everything else.
