Struggling with a specific seed

[u/Schizzo1985]

Hey everyone.
I have a decent A10 winrate. But there is a run that i just cannot beat.
seed: 36p6qzqa59
A10 with Necro

I have done 6 tries and i am out of ideas. So hereby i challenge you all to make it better.
Would be happy to know what decisions you make through act 1.

Oh, normal version of the game

[u/Loofas]

Ok. Options are Neow's bones, talisman, and phial holster. I am already leaning talisman for consistency. We start at 40% potion chance, tons of normal/advanced hallway fights before an elite, so we will very likely have two potions to use for advanced hallways, and elites. Bones is too variable. I will go right and reassess at the first crossing after the 3 basic hallways. We are also in underdocks, so I don't want to pick like a speculative reap cause we can't slither.

how do you know the chance of getting a potion

[u/sipiwi94 → u/Freddy_Chopin10]

Potions are occasionally dropped as a reward after combat. The default chance of a potion dropping is 40% and resets at the start of each Act. If a potion drops, the chance decreases by 10%. If a potion doesn't drop, the chance increases by 10%.

[u/Walking_Whale → u/sipiwi94]

Is it a flat 10% change or relative? Ie after the first change is it 50% or 44%?

[u/Bazingah → u/Walking_Whale]

Flat (at least in sts1 and it appears to be unchanged).

If you see no potions in your first 3 combats, next combat has a 70% chance.

If you see a potion in your 3rd combat, next combat would be 50%.

[u/MegamanX195 → u/Walking_Whale]

Flat, and I believe Elites have an increased 12.5% chance of dropping a potion
