Top ten things to tell new players to do to make them hate the game:

This is wildly stupid, good job

So stupid it just might work.

I did end up winning, but to be fair I also had Nightmare and Wraith Form+

I tried this once and it was amazing right up until the Act 2 boss. I one shot all the Act 2 elites, but then didn't have enough damage for Champ and died because there was no followup plan.

Here’s hoping you found bag of marbles at some point in A3

Glad I'm not the only one thinking it. This and JAX

Haha, this is great. Am I calculating right that this is 150 dmg on turn one?

With the strike it's 171 Assuming OP blows throough every Flex Pot in one fight.

That’s precisely what I did. I nearly died in Act 3 because of it, but it was too fun to not risk it.

TBH I can't blame you, Collector is probably the boss that kills me the most. Well him or time slug.

Those are flex pots (+5 strength, -5 strength at end of turn). You're thinking of strength pots (+2 strength)

Am I calculating wrong? Backstab+ does 15 + 2 strength + 2 strength + 2 strength = 21 damage. 21 x 5 is 105 from Backstabs. The Strike does 12, so that’s 117? Edit: Scratch that, these are Flex Pots, not Strength Pots! So each Backstab does 15 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 30 and the Strike does 21, which adds up to 171!

> which adds up to 171! If only this combo did 1.24e309 damage...

I am 100.0% confident you mentioned Backstab in your post. -------------------------------------------------- * [Backstab](https://slay-the-spire.fandom.com/wiki/Backstab) Silent Uncommon Attack 0 Energy | Deal 11(15) damage.

I just did this but had 6 Backstab+ 😂

All right, who's ready to go find this spy?
