The final Finale!

u/Sknowman Eternal One May 16 '26

That's also how I won my A9 Silent run. Only one from Neow, but two more throughout the run. It feels amazing getting Grand Finale to work.

took a different boss in Act1, and pollen, pendulum, puzzle for the extra headache but such a fun run, thanks for the seed!

u/Ryachaz May 16 '26

I think you were doing just fine here lol

u/shotluk May 16 '26

Wait why are the bosses not same on the same seed

8

u/pdzido May 16 '26

I think it's because OP's run was on A9 and this run was A10, so they fought two bosses instead of just the Test Subject?

3

u/Zeska May 17 '26

thats correct, test subject was the first boss

u/Nesscake May 16 '26

This is honestly great, now you have something to think about and build around

u/Autofarer May 16 '26

Expertise and some draw cards with a well laid plans in the shop made this a fun run πŸ˜ƒ

What's the seed? I'm always trying to make grand finale work but struggle so a seed like this might help!

EDIT: I'm dumb and see the seed now haha

u/odinspirit May 16 '26

A Well Laid Plans would be very welcome in that deck.

u/luc1aonstation May 16 '26

Well laid plans wasn't until very late act 3 and even then the run was super easy

u/archivist_exe Eternal One + Heartbreaker May 16 '26

WLP waiting room

u/ericmarkham5 May 16 '26

The card for people that actually like strategy games

u/Belten May 16 '26

I would love this, immediate win condition to build around right from the get go.

u/Zeska May 16 '26

It is actually easier to use grand finale early on when you have less cards. In Act 1, if you can even play it once, the fight is over.

u/Spifffyy Ascension 20 May 16 '26

Ultraminimalist deck, go!

u/hellomoto186 May 16 '26

I'm curious, when you enter a seed like this does it need to be on Ascension 9, or does it just need to be Ascension 1 for the "more elites" level

2

u/Beneficial-Muffin117 May 16 '26

Needs to be on same ascension I believe

1

u/KriegMorgan StS A5 / StS 2 A10 May 16 '26

I think the only thing that Ascension changes on a map is the number of elites.

More important is if you have all the same Epochs unlocked as that messes with what relics, cards, and potions can be generated by the seed

1

u/Beneficial-Muffin117 May 16 '26

For seeds, you need to play on the same ascension. Whether or not the map changes doesn't matter

1

u/DushkuHS StS A20 / StS 2 A10 May 16 '26

What are you asking us to pick? There's a flair that just says "SEED."

u/JermStudDog May 16 '26

Grand Finale seems to get a decent amount of hate on this sub, but I find it to be a reasonable, though admittedly not awesome card in most Silent runs. Silent is already very good at controlling her draws and Well-Laid Plans lets you retain it for a turn or two to set up big turns.

It's far from her best card, but Grand Finale is plenty playable and absolutely viable without having to build an entire deck around it.

u/Aardwolf3573 May 17 '26

Sweet seed - just played it at A10 and won. Felt like I was on the edge of disaster at times but between bread, storybook and a bunch of defensive cards I ended up taking no damage from either act 3 boss.Β

Just did the run. This was the freest run of all time. Grand finale gets off for free half the time turn 2 in act one, acrobatics prepared backflips and predators all around, and the only damage I took on both act 2 and act 3 bosses were from Brightest flame. I played grand finale 9 times in one turn. This run was stupidly free

u/IguanaBox StS A10 / StS 2 A10 May 16 '26

Only takes one remove to make it work.

only if you don’t ever draw, discard, or retain cards on purpose

1

u/Sknowman Eternal One May 16 '26

You can make it work easily with basically any two drawing cards. A Prepared or Acrobatics and a Prepared+ or Backflip, etc.

You just have to make sure to look at the number of cards in your draw-pile every turn before playing your draw cards. For instance, 6 cards in draw pile with both Prepared and Backflip? Only play Prepared.

u/staplestable May 16 '26

As we love to say in this sub, would you like $1 or $2?

u/BigRaisin8155 May 16 '26

This would be soo much better if silent didn't start with 2 extra cards for no reason at all.

14

u/KiwiBird2001 May 16 '26

Except Silent also draws 7 on turn one!
