I’m relatively new to this game, having purchased it a few months ago, and I’m still not very good at it. However, I feel like I am slowly getting better on each of the characters, with the exception of the Watcher.

I’m trying to kill the Heart on all toons before increasing to A1. I can consistently get to the heart on the 3 other characters, but cannot consistently even get past act 2 on the Watcher. I’m not sure I’ve beaten the slavers once yet on the Watcher. Does anyone have any general tips for the Watcher? I know stance dancing is important, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this without just getting murdered.

My deck never seems to scale faster than the enemies in act 2 and 3. I rarely seem to have enough damage to make switching to wrath worthwhile with the amount of damage I will then take due to enemy attacks. But I can’t sit back and wait for the ideal time to wrath as my deck never has enough defense to block turn after turn. It just seems like whatever I do, I can’t kill the enemies before losing too much health and eventually dying after several floors and fights.

It’s frustrating me that I cannot figure out how to play well with the watcher. I’m sure my card selection and turn by turn play is terrible still, but I simply don’t know what I’m doing wrong to improve.

    Watcher is simultaneously my worst character and the character I’ve progressed the farthest with.

    Upgrade Eruption, get a Rushdown and either Inner Peace or Fear No Evil, and trim your deck down as small as possible. Then just do an infinite combo in every fight. A Scrawl, a second Rushdown, or a Runic Pyramid helps with setting up the infinite combo, and a Mental Fortress is crucial for spikers and the Heart.

    That’s gotten me to A20 which is farther than I’ve gotten with any other character. But I literally don’t know how else to play her. I either get the right cards early on and win or I don’t get offered those cards and quickly lose.
