What's the point of emptying this mod? Downfall is incompatible with the mods I run, but Guardian alone wasn't.

is it possible that the seperate mod of this character could be readded? I was trying to try and see if i could play downfall with the Spire with Friends mod, but unfortunately I can't seem to get that to work, and wanted to play that character.

I can't believe something this all-encompasing exists. Thank you Michael Mayhem and team!

to whom it helps:
here is a crash temporary fix since the dev of this mod is currently busy/not working on updates:


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2025014867 (helps fix crashes on older mod. including polybeam here or donu's power which crashed for me at some point. apparently fixes crashes on other mods including slimebound.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2035811755 (guardian chan mod. Turn your playable guardian or the enemy boss guardian into the ultimate spire waifu. You can still choose to play as OG guardian but activating this mod changes the boss, and changes slimes. I think hexaghost also turns into a girl and surprisingly, snecko alternates every turn. this should also fix the crash without 2.0 compatibility or so they claim, but I've never activated this alone without 2.0 compatibility)


you're welcome. it's better than nothing.

When you activate poly beam it crashes.

I'm always glad to find out I'm not the only one having a problem with a card played with a mod. I was having a fun run until that stupid Poly Beam.
Reme Apr 16, 2020 @ 2:54am 
I have been subscribing to this mod for a long time and really love this mod, but there is a bug that makes it impossible to continue
New card played: 极光射线 misc = 0(poly beam?)

temporal strike didn't count on a strike card.

I love this mod. It seems that the Stasis Engine is not working quite right -- but in my favor! It's supposed to give +1 energy for every three 0-cost cards played in a single turn. However, the turn counter carries over between turns (in the same combat, of course). So, in a combat, I get +1 energy for every three 0-cost, regardless of whether it's in the same turn or not.
I'm not sure if it's related or not, but I also have the *ice cream* on this run, which ends up being GREAT with this little blip.

I get find gem cards in my other character runs. Is that intentional?
Physikbuddha Mar 17, 2020 @ 7:09am 
I've built and uploaded the mod with hotfix by @Gari for you guys here:

I sent creator pull req. with fix for poly beam on git hub, if he accepts, rebuilds and reuploads it will be fixed.

Poly beam crashes consistently :)
Bungus Mar 7, 2020 @ 9:22pm 
Wheres that fix at?

Poly Beam crashes the game for me

As stated earlier, Poly Beam crashes the game.
skye Feb 19, 2020 @ 7:09pm 
It wasn't the original author Klice, not sure why they removed it. Thanks for creating this mod, hope someone gets it working with 2.0 :)
Bungus Feb 17, 2020 @ 7:12pm 
Hey someone fixed the guardian and uploaded it, but now its missing. If this was you, can you at least patch this version so everyone can enjoy him?
Ladon Feb 15, 2020 @ 4:02pm 
I've also had a crash, upon using poly beam with a quartz inserted.
Fervent Paeans Feb 11, 2020 @ 9:12pm 
Please update for the new V2.0 of Slay the Spire!
Hamma Feb 11, 2020 @ 2:28pm 
Very fun character! I did have an issue where the awakened one awakening crashed my game consistently though
Peeps Feb 6, 2020 @ 10:04pm 
Poly Beam crashes the game.
The General - Born Naughty Feb 6, 2020 @ 11:32am 
WAY too overpowered
Just Rusty Feb 4, 2020 @ 3:31pm 
Very fun.
A thin deck with the card which gives you blur is broken as heck. The fact you can put gems into sockets is so strong as you basically have the option to remove a card or two at every campsite while still gaining power.
Got to the point where I had 2 exploit gems cards with at least one card draw gem on each. I was rolling round my entire deck in three turns which meant I could just endlessly add block which never went away.
The stasis, defense mode and socketing mechanics are all really fun and interesting, but his kit feels really overloaded. I'd love to see 2 or 3 characters which really doubled down into these mechanics and were a bit more balanced because he's really fun to use.
nika Feb 3, 2020 @ 12:43pm 
love this mod, please update soon <3
雪花飘飘,北风啸啸 Feb 3, 2020 @ 11:29am 
Somehow I did around 40 damage to myself and kill myself.. Happen two times in a row. I don't know why and how :(.
Stewshine Time! Feb 3, 2020 @ 8:52am 
Actually, "Poly Beam" without a Gem crashes the game too.
Love this mod, by the way!
Evil Derp-Derp Jan 29, 2020 @ 10:44pm 
When I used Poly Beam with a gem in it, caused my game to crash.
EricStratton Jan 27, 2020 @ 6:48am 
This is a great mod! Well done! The Guardian is a ton of fun.

I did run into one problem with my current run in which playing Poly Beam+ (with one unsocketed socket) causes the entire game to lock up and I have to Force Quit it (on Mac).
vanadi910 Jan 16, 2020 @ 6:48am 
compile error after sts 2.0 update
☾⎛sιтєʀ⎞☽ Jan 4, 2020 @ 9:14pm 
Amazing. It feels underwhelming / underpowered though if you don't get the right setup, and it can get confusing but overall this character feels very rewarding once it gets started.
FaultLine Dec 2, 2019 @ 7:11pm 
Love this mod, a lot. Satisfying, unique deck archetypes to play around with, and there's especially some amazing power cards.

but one suggestion: please let me disable the gem smithing encounter in configs. it's a bit of a waste of a question mark space when i stumble upon it with another character, or at least have it so the event can't appear unless there's a socket card in the deck
Atg115 Nov 24, 2019 @ 3:18am 
This one is just so fun
dyth68 Nov 21, 2019 @ 12:52pm 
Most character mods seem to be stronger than the base ones, but this one's just ridiculous.
If you try and stay in defensive mode at all times and get cards based on making that better (a few 0 cost cards, particularly the gem that makes Ward) you'll completely steamroll the game, nothing is a threat to you and your thorns will eventually kill everything.
You're reliably generating 25-35 block per turn half way through act 1 thanks to being able to stash recurring shield cards (the fact that half your turns the enemy has Weak helps)!
And it only gets more ridiculous from there, with more thorns, the barricade type card and the "screw you, I'm completely immune for 3 turns" card.
Even the Heart is a joke.
Ninatendo64 Oct 4, 2019 @ 6:49am 
Just checked it on the main branch, Poly Beam does not crash on the main branch. Guess I'll just have to avoid that card if I want to play guardian on the beta branch.
Ninatendo64 Oct 3, 2019 @ 11:55am 
Poly Beam seems to crash the game, at least in beta branch. Haven't tried in main branch yet.
Xie Fenghua Sep 21, 2019 @ 8:45pm 
Interesting and powerful character. Love it.
TwoFaceTony Sep 10, 2019 @ 4:36pm 
This is a cool character, but it's crashing a lot. Every couple cards I play with a gem will crash the game.
GooseDove Sep 9, 2019 @ 3:56am 
Love this mod! Thanks for making it. The mechanics of stasis are really fun to use. Keep on doing good work!
brickey.8 Aug 24, 2019 @ 11:55am 
This character has some really fun mechanics. The 1-cost cards that put themselves back in stasis indefinitely may be a bit too powerful (especially when they have sockets), but it's a great character overall.

You should really disable the events that grant/interact with gems when playing as other characters though.
yelobrix Aug 21, 2019 @ 7:19am 
Gems and socket cards make my favorite mechanic of any of the custom characters that I've tried. Very fun and unique.
Skilllettt Aug 12, 2019 @ 4:41pm 
gems appear even when we don't play the guadian ... it's a little annoying :x
shyhhau Aug 7, 2019 @ 2:57pm 
不錯玩 就是有點太簡單啦(角色太強了)
Aurian Aug 3, 2019 @ 4:13pm 
My new favorite character, far more fun than any of the basic ones. I'm in love. Plus it feels really well balanced to boot!
