Silent Complete Guide

Poison excels here—stack Noxious Fumes, Deadly Poison, or Corrosive Wave before the split so both Large Slimes inherit Poison damage and die quickly. Sly discard builds can burst the boss down with Pinpoint or Precise Cut before the split. Shiv builds struggle because Blade Dance exhausts and Accuracy may not line up; if you're on Shivs, prioritize killing the main boss before 50% to reduce split pressure.

Poison bypasses Defensive Mode and Sharp Hide entirely—apply Noxious Fumes or Corrosive Wave early and focus purely on block and survival. Leg Sweep and Piercing Wail are premium block options. Sly discard builds can loop Prepared and Acrobatics for free blocks while Pinpoint deals damage. Avoid overcommitting attacks during Defensive Mode; let Poison and time do the work.

Minimize attacks on Turn 1 to reduce Divider damage. Silent's Ring of the Snake draws 2 extra cards, helping you find Piercing Wail, Leg Sweep, or block skills. Poison is the safest win condition—Noxious Fumes scales passively. Sly builds can set up Reflex and Tactician on turn one, then dominate subsequent turns. Wraith Form trivializes the fight but plan around the Dexterity debuff.

The Worm adds status cards to your deck; Calculated Gamble now exhausts, which helps thin them. Small decks with heavy removes and transforms minimize status impact. Acrobatics and Prepared cycle past garbage; if you can empty your deck and play Grand Finale, you win. Sly discard is strong—discarded cards play for free, so status-heavy hands still produce value.

Queen locks the first cards in your hand each turn. Sly discard bypasses this—discard locked cards and they play for free instead. Retain effects from Prepared (upgraded) or Tools of the Trade help you control what gets locked. Grand Finale decks must empty the draw pile quickly; Pinpoint and Precise Cut deal massive damage when you have few cards in hand.
