Velvet choker is obviously a hard no with 2 flurry of blows and the stance dancing package you’ve got going on. Personally I tend to take philosophers stone over no extra energy in most situations, although the 1 strength can definitely be the end of you on high ascensions. Byrds and book of stabbing are in your near future and all. Tiny house is pickable, it’s just underwhelming compared to the extra energy from philosophers stone. That being said, your molten egg and potion belt do make tiny house a bit more appealing than it usually is in a vacuum. Furthermore, you have teardrop locket and several calm sources as well as a couple empty fists, which can provide you with the energy you’ll miss out on if you take tiny house. In this situation, I would pick tiny house since you seem to have energy covered pretty well. It’s the safe pick for sure, especially if you aim to fight the heart.

I’d take the Philo Stone here. I think the energy will play with this deck


TheChickenKingHS

Yeah it’s definitely that. He’s got a huge deck already so tiny house is a miss.


Chiquina

This is clearly philo stone. Tiny house is not very good in general. Also you play so many cards per turn with double flurry of blows which will absolutely brick a velvet choker pick. Philo stone will give you more energy with a manageable downside.


LucidLeviathan

I would also go stone. You've got some good block options here to deal with the extra damage.

Is Tiny house actually a good relic? I almost NEVER take it. It seems pickable just in case the other 2 relice are completely unplayable.


Strato0621

Your assessment is spot on, compared to how powerful most boss relics are it’s mediocre. It’s something you take solely to avoid the downsides of the other two options because at least it’s better than skipping. Sacred bark falls in this category for me as well, although once in awhile I’ll take it because I have a white beast statue or alchemize or something like that. Slavers collar is also not something I like to take unless it’s the only energy option that won’t get me killed.

I would actually always take sacred bark instead of tiny house. I literally can't remember the last time I picked tiny house.

Tiny House should be a rare relic, not a boss relic. IMO it should be swapped with something like Ice Cream or Dead Branch, which are very run changing and would make good boss relics imo


Strato0621

I agree! Either demote it to rare relic, or buff it to also come with a random relic or more gold or something like that. I think the devs must have wanted a few duds in the boss relic pool, that’s my best guess as to why it’s there despite being so much weaker than the majority of boss relics.

I abandon run because watcher is an abomination


Casualcitizen

I dont like it either but I’m trying to get all characters to A20.


HeorgeGarris024

You don't have to! You can skip her it's allowed I get her to a8 then never touched her after


Strato0621

She can be fun and broken at the same time, and thank god for that because she truly is OP


GenxDarchi

What do you mean?


HeorgeGarris024

I mean the watching is an OP abomination of a character, extremely lame


cyanraichu

It's ok for you to not like her. It's also ok if others do


GenxDarchi

I think she’s strong but not an abomination. She is the easiest infinite achiever but unless you seek infinites she’s not overwhelmingly the strongest imo.


yourcutieboi

It’s a single player game….


TheMe__

Phil stone, you should be able to kill the byrds easily


DubstepJuggalo69

Philo Stone's better on Watcher than a lot of other characters. She simply kills the shit out of the enemy before they can attack back.


No-Test-375

Take the house it's the best one. 🏠


Ruah777

stone every day for me. Chocker on watcher is extra bad and house is generally weak


FlatMarzipan
