How to play Greezy (?)

[Vertnoir]

Greezy is very different from the other employees, which feels very fresh

However, i can't understand what i'm doing wrong with him.
The other characters i had no issues understanding and winning with after a few attempts but here i am trying for hours without success, i'd say precisely because he's widely different

Has anyone figured him out? I'm pretty sure there is a mechanic/stat/way to play him that i'm completely missing and i can't for the unlife of me figure it out

Until Garrisons are buffed, its waiting for a two tower, same damage type start with one of the towers being a fast damager, and then have some way of healing before you leave the second circle. Keep the deck as close to 13 cards as possible and just stack buffs.

My winning run was a Holy start.

Thank you so much for your help, i won the very next one. Your advice was game changing, but i also feel like i've been very very lucky on card drafts and at the same time the whole game still was populated with extremely clutch moments

I think either i still need to learn or this employee might needs a special meeting with HR, we'll see what management decides

I spent like 4 hours just trying to win with Greezy, here's what I learned:

Two stats are super important for them, gold on banish, and luck.

I would recommend holy/unholy turrets as the focus, as they're easier to build and more consistent. But here are the cards that were essential to me getting going:

Insurance: Gain 5 gold every time you banish a card. This STACKS repeated uses, Greezy starts with one, I picked up one more, and used them every time they came up. By end levels I was making over a hundred gold when I sold a rock.

High Roller: Increases Luck by 8 every time you use it. Same as above, through repeated use, the game was handing me T5 towers at the end of the game for free. And when you're done with them, banish for a lot of money and a 10% chance at a free T5.

Jackpot/Bazaar: Between the two, gain 35 gold for free, and a card that's meant to be banished, I think this mostly just kept me banishing stuff early on, as I struggled with what to get rid of all the time, this made the decision for me.

By the end of the game, I had over a thousand just sitting around, and I could burn through multiple rerolls after selling just one card, dunno how repeatable it is, but that ended up being the difference between dying to Greed and winning without losing hp

Greezy feels unbalanced.

Buying cards into your draw pile is such BS. If its supposed to be a replacement for merging you should be able to buy them directly into your hand.

The character only has drawbacks

[heh]

Greezy is borderline impossible, because you don't roll anything but ♥♥♥♥ cards from the shop and you can't upgrade so you just fall behind in a few levels.

UNTIL you get the +8 luck card, which isn't even consumable so you can play it every reshuffle. Then you start rolling tier 3-4-5 cards in the shop all the time and it becomes a breeze as with the others.

Before I unlocked that card though, it seemed almost unwinnable.

I can pretty easily win with every other character. I managed to make it pretty far with Greezy but not being able to upgrade cards just hurts so badly.

Going full sunder and then rockstar -> cut the deck so you only have hellfire/tower dmg rocks. Was an easy win on a 1st attempt with him.

Ignore the troll, he doesn't actually have anything of worth to say, just bragging.

I had a few good runs that ended prematurely due to lacking damages, ultimately I took the Luck upgrade soon enough and heavily rerolled during the first few stages where it's cheap enough. When the starting towers are not good enough (or too bad without upgrades), I restarted immediately.

I also did not try to specialize too soon in a type of damage contrary to what I did with the other characters, and did not use garrison at all. Unholy is probably the most powerful though because of the crits that can somehow make up for the lacking damages.

I tried to keep my deck relatively small by selling any card since she tends to be over stuffed card-wise pretty quickly, with a lot of junk.

I managed to win a run with him where you only use sunder's to win, given that I only had one choice of tower, and they start to be the only ones that show up in your pool, I used the store to get useful item and active cards to support my build, rather than look for more towers.

All I know is, it ain't easy

I tried greezy often. He is the weakest of the employees. You need to have unlocked certain cards like insurance, or else I don't believe it it winnable.
Try slasher garrison, they are overpowered. Buy green ones (that are not one use) and keep upgrading.

idk about first try or nothing. the only time i got even close to winning was getting lucky with a monkey's paw. You still need about 9x monkey paw before greed to have a remote chance. I didnt even get a mono build. I just monkeypawed and prayed.

I won it with a final 17x monkeypaw. Rockstar also helped later on with my rocks being ok.

Ive won more with greezy than any of the others. Plenty of 90k scores - its all about managing deck size and burning as many cards as possible Ive had full yellow towers on greed before.
Luck is amazing but not mandatory
+coins on banish is super powerful. As someone stated you will often end a run with 1000-1500 gold, full yellow damage and 3-4 in your deck just in case you wanna change things up
Greezy and rock boy two easiest imo
