>Battle lust / hunger ludonarratively doesn't make a lot of sense. It acts as a sort of poison but doesn't make sense; shouldn't battle lust increase enemy's strength? And how would it cause self damage?
Bring it up with icefrog, bro

great mod, "literally no damage" best card

Fun but a bit overtuned. Spin is AOE thorns (indirect damage) on steroids with multiple ways to upgrade stacks per battle / persistently between battles, and even cards that allow you to apply their damage (multiple times even) on player phase. If that sounds absolutely broken that's because it is, and that's only one of this character's mechanics.

Hey, I've got hundreds of hours in STS, and I've never commented on a mod before. This one is amazing. Feels like a full character, and I love the balance. Climbing through the ascensions with him now. Thanks for the hard work!

You can add me on Steam or message me on Discord to contact me. If you join the official Slay The Spire discord, I'll see the common server and know your request is not spam. You should even be able to message me without adding me. Thanks.

@Axelrod i made Korean trans for this axe mod. soo if you need, i need contract with you

Thanks for the feedback everyone, whether you were a fan or not. I'll have some updates in store before too long for balance and fun. If you have any specific balance suggestions or would like to ask a specific question head on over to the discussions section. Anything helps.

I'm sorry but i really just disliked the character. The base ideas behind are super solid, i particularly like the idea of "Items".

The problem is so many cards just end up doing the same thing, which is applying battle hunger or racking up spin. Battle hunger is too one dimensional, and end ups being essentially poison.
I just found myself rather bored

Really been enjoying this character even if he's a bit strong. Kudos @Axelrod

Really love the new character. Feels fantastic to play with many new and reintroduced mechanics with their own flavor. I would love to see more characters like this, be it Dota characters or characters from other games.

Teini, I have tried to fix the crashes related to playing in other languages. Let me know if it is fixed, thank you.

Terroriza, I'm glad you found the mod fun! I'd love balance feedback in the discussions section. Please let me know which cards feel the most powerful, especially if you play on high ascension. Thanks!
Terroriza 16 Sep, 2022 @ 8:01am 
Fun character, but feels a bit OP.
Axelrod  [author] 15 Sep, 2022 @ 9:11pm 
I couldn't recreate the game crashing in the slime fight. Please place the crash log in the bug reports section above, thank you!
teini94 15 Sep, 2022 @ 3:21pm

(did the same 3 times)

The mod kept crashing for me when fighting 2 slimes in Act 1. Specifically, spin triggering on the green slime seemed to crash it. :(
Axelrod  [author] 15 Sep, 2022 @ 1:13pm 
teini94 and Faerie, I have confirmed that I can launch the mod using the version currently on steam. Make sure you choose "launch with mods" and that you have BaseMod and StSLib enabled in the mod list.
teini94 15 Sep, 2022 @ 11:50am 
also cant open
Faerie 15 Sep, 2022 @ 12:33am 
I can't open it.:steamsad:
Axelrod  [author] 14 Sep, 2022 @ 7:37pm 
There will not be interference due to how mods are set up. Enjoy without fear!
AvangionQ 14 Sep, 2022 @ 6:53pm 
Blade Mail is a common relic with DOTA2 mod
Two relics, same name, dunno if it'll interfere?

Yes, please give Lucky Spin something spicier ... other possibilities:
6 damage, plus 6 damage to all enemies who intend to attack
6 damage to all enemies, plus 6 damage to a random enemy who intends to attack
Axelrod  [author] 14 Sep, 2022 @ 6:41pm 
I hope you enjoy the mod AvangionQ!

I appreciate the balance feedback.
I'll keep in mind that Lucky Spin might benefit from something spicier.
I think you'll find the Retain on Cheese makes it extremely useful against Time Eater.
Counter A Stove is indeed quit good sometimes, but this character does not have Barricade or Entrench, so its ceiling isn't as high.
I did not account for the DOTA 2 relic pack, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Let me know what you think after playing!
AvangionQ 14 Sep, 2022 @ 9:03am 
Curious, is this fully compatible with the DOTA2 relic pack?

A few notes just from the images:

Trade Blows vs Lucky Spin ... Lucky Spin needs a buff:
deal 6 damage, repeat if enemy intends to attack.

Cheese is weaker than Vault ... lower the energy cost to 2,
the upgrade should remove its downsides.

Counter A Stove looks insane for a Bodyslam build.

Can't wait to give this a try later on.
