♥♥♥♥ very large blind
Playing a whole Run just to get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with a very large blind at the End is so boring.

By the end of the run your deck should be beating the 7th/8th Ante boss by a large margin, if not outright crushing it without breaking a sweat. Keep in mind that there are 8 other Antes past the win screen, so there is plenty of headroom built into the game for extremely high scores. That means if you're losing at/near the 8th Ante boss, that's because your deck wasn't built well enough. Keep plugging away and trying different things!

agreed with Vyrtualis. honestly this is probably my favourite boss out of all of them, as I don't have to worry about debuffs that can be hard to account for, like card debuffs, joker debuffs, or hand / discard debuffs, etc. all I need to do is make sure my deck has a strong build going and try and get some good hands.

There's more than 8 extra antes. People have got up to Ante 25 where you need nearly a googol to win.

It's a totally beatable boss blind (if a bit daunting in the beginning). You'll get the hang of it, just keep playing.

why do you want it to be easy, let the game beat you over and over and that makes the one run you crush it feel extra amazing. you will then chase that feeling again, its what makes the game great.

"Very large blind" and "must play 5 cards" are the "free pass" boss you can ever have. i hope to meet them every Ante! Pillar and Arm are so much more crushing if you fail to read the boss blind at start of round :(

I actually agree. Don't confuse "Extra Large Blind" with "Very Large Blind" here. We're talking Violet Vessel, NOT the wall. Not every deck is able to scale all the way to 300k in ante 8; it's by far the hardest final boss chip there is out of the 5 final boss chips there are. They should at least scale it down to 250k.

You probably didn't have any mult multipliers.
I was thinking people were saying this with the meaning "It's so easy its boring" but apparently not. Every run I had that was able to pass the early game was able to reach 500k or more. Especially when there is basically no boss ability impairing your jokers and cards so you can pop off. But that seems to be my weirdly fluctuating luck I guess

Well at some point you fill your 5 jokers, and yes, if you don't happen to have many mult mults but every joker is in fact relevant, you often cap at around 150-250k at ante 8. Some decks just have a hard time scaling up for post-game.

That said, I've had at least 5 runs die to Violet Vessel so far. 0 times to any other final boss chip. All of the other final boss chips are pushovers compared to Violet Vessel.

300k instead of 100k is BS.
