By ‘stealth archer equivalent’ I mean the stereotypical easy/newbie or basic bitch way to play the game. It may be easy to pivot to and get stuck in a rut of playing that way.


I thought about this while playing Balatro. I kept trying to do creative combinations like Stone Joker and Marble Joker to see how far I could go with stone cards and pairs but pretty much always end up doing 8 Ball flushes.

    I don’t think I’ve had to dodge once in the last 20+ hours of playing lol. The only times I’ve gotten close to dying is when I forgot to close my visor and someone bonks me on the head.

      Have you been playing on hardcore? I’ve found when i get surrounded i have to rely on dodging to get out of the problem since you don’t have a block icon anymore. I’ve got a full set of heavy armor and heavy weapons at 20 but it takes longer to kill ten guys than dodging around and stabbing them in the side.

        Not yet, no. This was in the regular story mode that I just finished. I’ll see if the heavy knight proves effective in hardcore :D
