META Xecnar attempts to continue his rotating A20H streak to 25 Spoiler

...and loses to Awakened One as The Silent!

What a phenomincal achievment. The current world record, which beat Baalorlord's previous world record by 4 runs (20%). Insane

Amazed the run went as far as it did. Choker on the card spam character? The kiss of death for me but Xec took it all the way to floor 52. Some absolutely clutch dead branch saves there too, like summoning Malaise in awakened one.

24 is an incredible achievement and I don't know who else is going to challenge it any time soon quite frankly!

There’s a good case for swapping on Hexaghost with Ironclad given how that boss interacts with your current health. Ironclad also arguably benefits from a 4th energy more than the other characters. High rolling an energy relic can make a huge difference with him.

Look at it like this: Having an extra energy lets you save HP that you would have otherwise lost with only 3 and that’s effectively the same as gaining HP.

One extra energy will often save you more than 6hp per fight.
