Killed Heart 4x in a Row.
And not all the same decks at all. One deck I had Apparitions and Spoon, which let me recycle intangible all day long; another, I had catalyze+ and burst+. there are many ways of killing the heart.

However, certain things consistently help.

1. Caltrops+, bronze scales, thorns potion
2. lots of quality defend cards. blur & the one that gives you 6 now and 6 later were especially useful.
3. piercing wail

I think, with silent at least, I've got the heart fairly reliably licked. now on to ironclad and defect, which i'm sure will be far harder. silent is definitely my favorite character.

Usually I don't like brag posts, but this time I'm glad to see someone kick ass instead of whining that the game has become 'too hard'.

well, i beat the heart with silent juz now, a run that full of luck, get a dead branch(the relic that giv u one more card if u exhasuted a card) and i play a mix shiv poison deck. Didnt get any good defence card but get 2 footwork and about 3 more from the dead branch, so juz made it to maintain the output, i mainly use evinom to pump up the poison with shiv, and with the help of 2 catalyst+, i get over 450++ poison last turn and beat it. Its the most intense fight compare to ironclad and defect

Everyone and their mother on this forum says that Barricade is the hottest ♥♥♥♥. I agree that it can be very strong, but it needs very specific cards to get the deck going and most of the time you won't find them. Solid Ironclad decks that can be most reliably built are strength + attacks that go well with it or Perfected Strikes. They are definitely good enough to beat the Heart.

well, i run few times with barricade but dun have those specific cards such as entrench or metalicize or impervious, all i have for defence is basically defence, shurg it off and a ghostly armor.barricade is good if u set it up at the first turn orelse u r fk. a caliper can replace it though, juz when i face the heart i have to stack up my defence for the next few turns.
strengh deck is awesome but i juz cant balance between attack and defence, 2 runs with strength deck without barricade/caliper juz makes me run out of defence(rng fk me up). so any tips for getting nice block with strengh deck?

A barricade deck needs 1 card more than all others and that's barricade. I can't get it even if my life depends on it. (Literally xD)

Depends on whether you have Demon Form. If you do, most of your deck should be block. Block, block, block until you become One Punch Man. Without Demon Form, you need a more balanced approach. Pick energy efficient block cards and be careful not to bloat your deck. Also you usually need repeatable strength gain: Limit Break+, or at least Spot Weakness. I know Demon Form sounds way better, but actually it's not, due to the card's horrendous cost.

One card that I think is underrated, especially in strength decks, is Iron Wave. Looks mediocre, but damage and block combined in a 1-cost card is pretty sick.

silent is ez mode of course you didnt have any problems
now try heart with a full attack deck with ironclad and let me know

Mind sharing your formula with Defect? Every time I think I have it, I get KO'd

there are several playstyles, i suggest the defensive playstyle and 0 cost playstyle.
The defensive playstyle is focus on increase orb slot, frozen orb and darkorb, the critical relic for this is frozen core or inserter. Juz focus on increase slot pumping fronzen orb and sometimes chanel a few dark orbs as damage.
For 0 cost, you nid several cards such as multiple claws, hologram and all for one. if you get a unceasing top, you have success 50% with this deck.
There are also some offensive deck such as plasma + meteor deck, it is very powerful but in early game it is hard to form and control,
The most simple deck is the thunder deck which basically rely on electric orb and thunderstrike card as the main damage

Just had two wins today close together. I had a infinite deck with dropkick and rage being primary focus and burned out status with true grit.

Second deck was searing blow + double tap and one armaments. With only runic pyramid as a relic. Mix of bash and different defense in there as well.

You don't need strict barricade decks. Someone posted a quick scale limit break with a reaper in it as well which won.

Defensive decks though are usuallY safest option I think I would argue.

that is a great idea, kind of like noxious fumes you just sit and block all day

the heart is definitely a true boss fight, and the difficulty imho is perfect.

i also agree that i expect ironclad to be harder. defect - i have hundreds of hours in this game but have only played defect enoguh to get all the cards. i just find silent so enjoyable that i just prefer her so much more.
