IT HAS A VICTORY SCREEN FOR KILLING THE HEART! S Tier!

I'm noticing this character hasn't gotten a lot of support since last year, maybe passing development off to another team? I saw some mentions of Downfall

Slimy shield is extremely weak early in the fight, which is when you're hurting for block on this character anyway. The dark embrace card feels kinda bad because it really is a (sometimes) worse Evolve for more energy. Overall I'd LOVE to see a balance overhaul for the character that makes all the different packages more viable, and less dependent on acquiring specific single cards like electroplating. 2/2

this mod is SO interesting but I think- oh I just spotted the TODO. Yeah, the balance on a lot of the cards is really off. The status synergy cards are really hard to get off because there's not much in the way of cards that generate more than one status at a time, like the Ironclad's Power Through. I haven't been able to get suck to work really at all; it always feels like it's just. Not enough healing to matter for the cost of the cards. I think the Plated Armor cards are a little underpowered without Electroplating and ridiculously overpowered with two Electroplatings. Plate Farmer completely nullifies any benefit a Plated Armor build would get out of using Suck. The balancing on Constrict feels pretty good with a plated armor build that can survive for a very long time. 1/2

it is nice that it is a separate mod though, sometimes downfall crashes so being able to still play with character even with not using downfall in some games, is nice :)

Kinda surprised that this isn't part of the Downfall mod. If a swarm of Gremlins can do it, why not?

Electroplating enables some incredibly nutty combos, particularly when you have multiple stacks of it. Though the nature of this character tends to be pretty binary - either you can stack Plated Armor and become immortal, or the enemy breaks through/outscales your armor and leaves you struggling greatly. Which, I suppose, is fitting for the overconfidence punisher that is the Avocado.

Plate Farmer basically guarantees you'll be walking out of nearly every fight with full HP. Which is something you can already do with the Vampirism event to a certain degree, but it's still extremely easy to pull off.

Even for a unique relic, Tungsten Plate seems like it's excessively powerful. With as many effects that only peel 1, or peel 1 repeatedly, your armor becomes nearly impossible to lose. Might need to play it at higher ascensions to really confirm that though.

when's snake plant

Oh and the Block Reminder mod is really helpful

Very fun/funny character. I honestly thought it was a bit too powerful since I beat the heart first run with a 40+ card deck, but that might just be being on A1 instead of A20 like I'm used to, and I got pretty lucky draws. IMO Lunacy+ should make it innate, I think Slimy Sheild should be gray (like a status), and more chances to retain block would be cool since I was alternating between like ~80 and ~20 block, but yeah, it was fun

I get "ERROR: Unable to find dependency 'stslib' for mod 'paparatto'."

been having a lot of fun with this and i love the card images!! it's a little tricky unless you have certain specific cards, but overall the concepts are interesting and fun to play. very different from the og 4 characters

There are many bugs, there is not space between letters of different words.
The character is funny tho

Character is pretty bad, struggle immensely without very specific combos. Cards are very interesting and i like it overall, but the general power is low and needs heavy combos that require you to be lucky and get the right stuff

Small bug: "Suck Dummy" increases "Suck"'s 0 hp heal to 2 hp heal

bug report: the mod's "Twisted tendril" relic applies the base-game constrict status effect, meaning it shows up as a seperate status effect when you apply any other constrict, and is also not counted in cards like suffocate

hi rupert there is an unlock all mod you could try

Cool mod, tho I'm not too fond of the extractor card art being a literal tooth. Good theme with the plated armor focus.

Any help on skipping to ascension 20 without grinding wins?

and maybe one for Bottle of Black Pepper Powder: all enemies start sneezing for 1 turn (getting stunned) :)

hi i just thought of a new potion... its just like dressing an avocado half for real :)


"Potion of Lemon Juice"
gives all characters 10 poison (but you get 1 less per plated armour you have)

Apoptosis is bugged: adds plated armor before peeling; should be the reverse order.

Card Idea: Branch Off (Rare)
Cost: 1 (0 when upgraded)
Effect: Gain 4 (6 when upgraded) temporary dexterity. you can no longer play attacks this turn.

You say this character sucks, but I actually had a good run with him. Yeah, it wasn't ascension 20 or anything but I beat the act 4 final boss with 1 hp!

hi i thought of a few cards/items you might find fitting for this mod?


"Potion of Pittance" (costs 10 gold or free potion reward)
Whenever you Peel this turn, gain 5 gold for each quantity you Peel. (up to 100 gold max)
(or it costs a bit more, but works "for the rest of combat")


new cards:
"The Ripening" (looks like a brown paper bag with another fruit or vegetable near it)
When you play this card, gain 1 Peel (plated armour) for each Food-Related Relic you own. (eg, strawberry, donut, banana, lees waffle, etc)

"Pitt Stop"
If you receive no damage this turn (from enemies only?), gain 2 Dexterity.
If you receive no damage this turn (from anywhee) gain 3 dexterity (ugpgraded)

(a few ways to implement: When played, if you have received no damage sice the start of your turn, or When played, if you will receive no damage until end of turn.??)
or If you have not attacked this turn / and/or will not attack this turn, gain 2 dex at end of turn.?

Been having a ton of fun with this mod. Kudos @paparatto18

I found a bug yesterday which I'll try to describe for you when I reproduce it

I actually had an issue with this mod, that once I had non-newtonian fluid relic for avocado, upraded apoptosis stopped working like normal, taking away both plated armors instead of just 1.

he a big chonker

this is some serious meme stuff and i'm here for it

This is the best character mod.

The Rat card's text should say that it can't be used repeatedly. I thought it worked liked Demon Form where you could get 4~6 STR per turn but it was like Barricade where using it twice didn't change anything.

"Text 2" shows up in the character-specific "you prepare to deal X damage to the heart but it's still beating" text before Act 4.

Reclaim should probably specify that it gives you a random card from you discard pile. Though I think Robot Space Explorer had the same wording.

(greets chaofan mister bladegunner) :)

Electroplating + Necrosis (Upgraded in my testing) leads to a soft lock. It ends up just.... Forever giving you more plated armor.

stslib doesn't in dependencies list in ModTheSpire.json.

cool character, just a little rant: reclaim was already used from downfall with a different effect, confusing for me

(maybe there can be a smooth skin card for gaining dexterity, and a bumpy skin for gaining thorns? :)

wow so many cool looking avocado cards :)
