idk for me the only archetypes ive seen work on ironclad are "exhaust + juggernaut"

what other builds do you recommend trying?

Silent for me is basically:

- Take Noxious Fumes whenever you see it
- Prioritize Blur & Backflip
- If you ever see a Footwork, you take it no matter what
- If you need something to fill out your deck, look for Caltrips

Prioritize power upgrades over backflip over blur
Fill in your deck with anything that synergizes well (card draw + more poison + more block)
Don't fall for the envenom trap
Delete all your strikes ASAP. You want to basically be buliding as much block as possible per turn, blurring it so it stays, and then using a passive like Noxious Fumes or Caltrops to wither them down
My usual deck size on silent caps out around 16-17

I've never been able to make shiv work. Even if I get accuracy and shiv producers, I can't get the block package online

i find silent to be pretty versatile. there are some staple cards in every build but the flavor around it can change

but definitely nothing compared to the 90000 ironclad decks you can build

i had a NUTS run yesterday on ironclad...asc7ish?

anyway I got an early Corruption and Dead Branch and Fiend Fire and Feel No Pain. That was basically the entire deck. I was regularly getting 500+ block first turn of each match and ending the match turn 1 from mid act 2 on
then i got calipers lmfao

each level adds more difficulty

i think for me it started getting really difficult when it added in "no more healing to full off of boss fights". like ascension 6 or 7 maybe?

honestly for me it's more like, i will tackle every act 1 elite i can with ironclad but stay away from them on silent
act 2 elites fuck up ironclad hard but silent can usually deal with them well enough
act 3 elites are awful, dodge dodge dodge

yeah they're definitely still having to sort out how the defect scales

the only orb build ive seen work is a lightning orb build. dark orbs take too long to scale up and get powerful, frost orbs only give you TWO BLOCK, plasma orbs give you more energy AFTER you channel them on the next turn so it can be clunky

choke

0 cost cards that discard + tactician

infinite combo with choke on the board bc my 5x prepared+ guarantees i hit more 0 cost card draw

basically "play 0 cost cards until the -5hp from choke kills them on turn 1"
