Additionally, each Blur card you play will extend that non-expiration time by an additional turn. This means that you can play defense even on a turn when you don't expect damage. This isn't massive, but playing the card will allow whatever block remains at the end of your turn to carry over to the next turn.

There are a lot of cards for The Silent which I'll grab as soon as I see them, no matter which build I might be going for.īlur In my mind, Blur is absolutely the best card you can get for The Silent. Personally, I like Die Die Die because it exhausts after played, which means it won't clog up your deck, but Dagger Spray and All-Out Attack are also options. I've found that it can also be helpful to have one card (no more than one!) which attacks all enemies. But I die so often when facing elites as The Silent - especially in the first act - that I've begun avoiding them, and it's helped. When playing the Ironclad or the Defect, I tend to hit every elite possible, in order to gather relics. One or two so-so cards can get you by, even if they're garbage like Flying Knee or Masterful Stab.Īnother thing I've learned about the Silent is that you won't want to hit every Elite you can. More than once, I've died to an act one elite because I had only Strike and Defend cards. You will need to be sure to grab some cards during the first act just to get by, even if they're not great ones. Ideally, you'll hit every store you can, and choose the remove card option at every single one, getting rid of your base Strike and Defend cards, as well as removing whatever you can during events.

If you do, you'll just be receiving those cards you really want less often. This means you shouldn't be picking a card reward after every single fight. Moreso than with any of the other classes, the Silent wants a small deck. In reading multiple guides, I've learned that some people will recommend something which other people say to avoid. I'd beaten the game with the Ironclad (it's all about Barricade and Body Slam) and The Defect (channel tons of ice!), but it wasn't until today that I'd beat the game with my favorite character, The Silent. You can play as one of four characters, fighting monsters, improving your deck of cards, buying better equipment, and eventually reaching the end boss, who will kill you.

For those who may not know, Slay the Spire is a roguelike deck-building card game dungeon dive. Slay the Spire is a game I'd started playing around the 2020 holiday break, but I've gotten into it pretty hardcore since.
