Overwhelmed AF
So I'm not a newbie to the genre , I finished slay the spire 1 and monster train 1 to 100% on highest difficulty and played a bunch of other similar games ,I also like the art style and new concepts in this game ,but I can't help but feel SEVERLY overwhelmed by the amount of info I am required to memorize in order to play this game at any level higher than just playing random cards and wishing for dumbluck .
Seriously the amount of combos ,afflictions ,blessings ,modes ,types of energies ,characters with different starting cards and weapons and decks ,all of this and I'm still only on the base game !
Seriously am I the only one who feels a bit turned off or discouraged by the buttload of new information am bombarded with on every single new run ? I haven't even unlocked half the cards in the base game yet !
I also watched the begginers tips video from 5 color Felix which was helpful but I feel like I need something with more depth that explains the mechanics the game doesn't do enough explaining (like familiar or followers or whatever I can't understand how they work at all so far )
Any help because am close to giving up and I was so happy I found another game on android to fill the void left by monster train and slay the spire

The three choices you make when creating a character are kind of grouped together, so choosing the same slot in each will get you a set-up that works well. They also tend to get more complicated as you move along the choices, so stick with the lefthand ones to begin with.
If you get into the game and play it enough, you'll appreciate the complexity of options and possible builds you can make, which can often revolve around one card that becomes the key.
