Lose starting relic get ''random'' boss relic

[Strawbs]

I chose this option 3 times in a row with Silent and all 3 times it gave me Ectoplasm. Is it not actually random or is this just some crazy RNG?

RNG is so crazy that i desided to never pick it

RNG is RNG, the odds to get ectoplam after getting it twice is the same as getting it once. It's highly unlikely getting it 3 times in a row but nowhere near impossible.

Remeber keep calm and praise Nuffle.

Second time I raised my eyebrows a little, but the third time I actually tilted my head in confusion. Praise Nuffle.

Ectoplasm isn't bad tbh. It has downsides, but I would be pretty happy with ectoplasm unless I was on Ascension10+. You just need to be careful not to take any curses and draft aggresively for multiple win conditions until you get enough cards to focus on one of them (and then obviously stop drafting cards for the other conditions).

People have a hard time dealing with randomness, the fact you have already got it twice has no impact on getting it a third time. If you flip a coin for long enough you will get a string of 100 heads/tails, it's still random and the chance of the 101st result of head/tail is still 1/2.

Throwing a dice and getting a 1, has not the same odds as throwing 3 dices and getting all three times a 1.

Though is remains still much more likely than winning in the lottery I guess.

I never said it was bad, the extra energy is nice, I was just wondering why I got it 3 times in a row. :)

Not complaining, just curious as to whether it was random or not.

Actually flipping a quarter has been decided that it’s actually has a 51% chance to flip on heads and 49% on tails

And I'm not having a go at you.

Well no harm done then. Mb.

Is the Boss Relic option even worth it for the Ironclad?

With the Silent you can justify it simply due to the fact that the Serpent Ring can be replaced by the backpack relic (I forgot the name), which basically does the same thing.

But the Burning Blood is a really good starting item on the Ironclad, so I don't see why you'd risk trading it for one of the potentially more punishing Boss Relics

[Strawbs]

I usually don't do it for Ironclad, but I do it almost everytime for Silent. I like Burning Blood too much to risk getting a bad relic. :)

[itssirtou]

I just had it twice in a row...3rd time it gave me lizard tail :)

Boss pool is kinda small. And since that blessing is only really good on the Silent (Burning Blood is the shiz) 4 out of 20 can REALLY screw you over. 6 if you count Calling Bell or Snecko eye.

The other 4 are Ectoplasm, Philo Stone, and Runic Dome, Velvet Choker. All of them but Velvet Choker suck in general, but Choker makes my Ironclad runs hum
