The Hermit

Is the Hermit included here the exact same as the one in the Downfall mod?

I've been working on a Hermit expansion for "Slay the Spire: The Board Game". Here is the link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3237394845 . Is there a way that we can message privately about this? I want to make sure that this is OK with you

PS: Golden Bullet may be the best-designed Fatal card in the game. Because usually they are too much of "get this early or do not bother", whereas Bullet is usually worth considering if one has at least a few fights left before Act 3 boss.

A bit of a review, if I may:

Magnificent work. A well-thought class, and fun to play with.

Noticeable pros:
the new Relics are unique, and, more importantly, interesting.
As a game designer (at least an aspiring one), I always like things that repurpose underwhelming mechanics. The Hermit manages to make Strikes interesting enough that I actually have to think about whether to disenchant them or not. Same with Curses. Stellar job there.
While this new Class has potential to go infinite, the ways it would go about it are, at least in my opinion, much less obvious than some of the base game classes.
Getting Prism with this Class is hilarious. Yes, that was worth one pro-point in itself.

Cons? If one does not get some specific cards, it is hard to get scaling off. Minor gripe, but does sometimes doom some runs when I have static strong output but some Bosses just outscale me. But bad luck happens.

I only have three cards I would prefer changed a bit. That is how damn well-designed they are:

1: Determination. I would prefer the Upgrade made this 0-cost instead of Innate. Good scaling, but the upgrade tends to feel more like a downgrade, especially if one finds more than one of these.

2: Covet: I would prefer it also Exhausted Status Cards. It does have a bleeding hand reaching for the sky, and, as is, I often find myself just Exhausting this rather fast.

3: Overwhelming Power just does not feel like it does enough to be worth it. Sure, it is front-loaded, but it often feels like a trap. Either the upgrade should cost 0 (to keep the theme) instead of lowering the health penalty (irrelevant for Decks that take this). Or make it give 2 Energy at the start of each turn instead (which I'd prefer). Wraith Form, this is not. Wraith Form at least lasts more than one Round. :b


10-/10, would recommend to anyone.

I love this character so much. By FAR my favorite character. I really hope the one/people who created it read this and feel appreciated. Thanks for this addition.

Bro the Hermit is so strong wth
literally easy mode

@Ofey If all you want to do is throw money at them, buy their game called Star of Providence. And if you like twin stick shooters, hey, you get a good game out of it too.

Do you have patron or fanbox? Take my money plz

Why would you translate to the second most spoken language in the world, no, better translate to german -.-
