Is there a way to do this? I am tired of losing runs coz I have not unlocked certain cards/relics yet...

Specifically for card/relic unlocks, you should look for the character levels

Just a word of advice though, don’t expect to just magically start winning because of unlocks. While there are a few good unlocks that come from leveling, if it’s a play/deck building approach issue, all the unlocks in the world aren’t going to help.

You are *not* losing because you don't have unlocks, thinking that is an immediate red flag, like the people who blame their losses on RNG. The decisions you make, regardless of what your card and relic pool contains, is the biggest factor in whether you win or lose. As an experienced player on PC, when I started playing on my phone, and thus had to start over with no unlocks like you, it took me about 14 runs to lose for the first time, playing all four characters sequentially while climbing ascension. I'm a good player, I've beaten A20 on all characters, but I am far from the best who regularly win at that difficulty.

All this to say, those unlocks will not suddenly make you win runs. Some of them are certainly powerful, but few are universally good, and all dilute the pool. I would recommend first recognizing that you are losing because of your own mistakes, because you are new and don't know the game yet. Then try to figure out what you are doing wrong, try to learn and improve, ask for advice or watch good players if you want to improve faster, and you will start succeeding, regardless of whether you have those unlocks or not.

Oh come on, surely that part of the post was the least important thing to respond to.

Agreed, they'll find that out the hard way, and we will all laugh at them.

My Ironclad is already on Ascension 9, Silent on Ascension 4, Defect on Ascension 4 and Watcher on Ascension 2 BEFORE having all the cards and relics unlocked. That bothers me.

And yes, sometimes you lose runs because you can't factor in that some key cards won't show up.

That's farther than I've bothered to get with ascensions, but I still ground out all the unlocks. I'll let people who know what they're talking about explain the error in your thinking.

I can see no error. Not having access to exactly 100% of all the cards and relics is a considerable disadvantage if you are not aware of exactly what you are missing. Information is the core of strategy. If you are not playing with everything unlocked, you are actually playing a different game. You are in a different environment than the real game would be.
Is it dramatic? No. But there is a disadvantage and there is no reason to accept it.
Coming here to ask for advice in how to unlock it all in one go was the correct way to go.

Unlockable cards are often niche cards and having smaller card pool might actually be benefitial, since you are more likely to get cards you want. Sure, if you want that specific locked card, then yes, you can't get them, but since when you need to get that one specific card?

To be honest I am not a big fan of "unlocking" stuff, prefer having anything from get-go, but in StS it's not a big deal.

I mean, yes it has an impact, but the wording of OP's post made it sound like he was blaming his losses exclusively on not having access to certain cards rather than some play errors, or building around cards he clearly knows he doesn't have access to yet. I think that's more where people are trying to correct him. While not having all the cards does put him at a disadvantage, it's not solely responsible for the losses.

When everyone is telling you you're wrong, you're probably wrong. There's the old saying "If everywhere you go, everyone around you is always an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, chances are you're actually the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥."

No, you guys just keep assuming whatever you want and act like it is what I said. Very immature, imho.

"or building around cards he clearly knows he doesnt have access to yet" - Yeah right, I will build my deck around cards I KNOW I can't get. /s

You literally said you’re losing because you haven’t unlocked all the cards…. How the ♥♥♥♥ else did you expect people to interpret it?

Well, first off, you absolutely can factor that in. In fact, you should always be assuming that, at the least, most rare cards won't show up, or you won't be able to pick them if they do.

Second, if that's why you're losing runs, you're doing it wrong. Which isn't to say that I don't also lose runs like that sometimes, but I only claim to be a competent player, not a great one, and I understand and acknowledge that I did things the wrong way when that happens.

Third, the whole "key cards" mindset tends to cause problems for players. Not that it's wrong, but there's only a few cards per character that have a truly unique effect (Ironclad's Exhume, for example), and you definitely shouldn't be counting on or building around those cards if you don't already have them. Not even the common ones like Body Slam.

Basically, it sounds like there's a slight, but crucial, flaw in some of your decision-making, and it will help you win more if you adjust it slightly, that's all.

Well your question was anwered in the first post. Mark it as answered and move on.

Losing because you don't have certain cards or artifacts: There's a compendium showing you what you have unlocked.
Too bothersome? No problem, you already got a link to the unlock all post as the first reply.
