I do a defect run, I accrue bunch of skills, then I get nobbed.

I retry, get a claw deck going. But there is no All for one in sight. Avocado bops me with big hit, dead.

Then I meet neow again, transforms a card into reprogram. Gee, with a feeling that run is ruined, I build around the reprogram. Defragment and Biased Cognition shows up couple of times, but I already lost the way of focus. Finding and playing reprogram many times turn out to be incredibly difficult, reprogram often fails to turn up by turn 3. Reaches to boss with little health, dies to the Champ.

Then again, I retry in hopes of something better. In the way, I find key cards of Core Surge & Biased Cognition, and 2 Capacitors. Get millions of orb going with 5 focus, becomes literally unbeatable. Eventually, beat the heart with 7 icy orbs and 2 sparky orbs, cycling them around.

Next moment after credits, I find myself clicking Ironclad and I am back to Neow.. Damn, why is this game so much replayable? I cannot break out of it, Aaah

This now makes me wonder if anyone has beaten the Heart with primarily claws.

I've done it a few times but I'm a coward and only play A1.

Ascension 1. Once you beat the game there's 20 levels to climb through, each adding an extra challenge. A1 adds more elite enemies.

It's widely regarded as the easiest mode to play on, because more elites means more relics, more easy to snowball a strong setup.
