I just had the most broken defect run ever.

the key here is bottled echo form, letting me play my first card every turn twice. I have an absolute boatload of power cards and bird-faced urn which heals me for 2hp each time I play one. I also have self repair so I can heal for 20 each fight if I play it first. I took 50 damage to the jawworm pack on turn 1 and was at full hp by the end.

I also have two biased cognitions, panacea+ and core surge which lets me boost my focus up to about 25 with no downside thanks to all the artifact charges. I also bought the artifact relic too. sometimes I was rocking 5 or 6 artifact charges which seemed wild. I swapped cracked core for frozen core so once I had my focus in place, the game played itself.

my biggest fear here was awakened one, because my hand is entirely power cards.. and I got him as my second act 3 boss. I played my power cards anyway and just outscaled the fuck out of him. he was hitting for like 130 by the end but I was blocking for 350 a turn at my peak. I eventually just stopped taking turns and let a dark orb power up to 350 (only took two turns thanks to focus and all my Loops) and killed him in one hit.

the sword and shield was scarier than the heart, and I knew that going in since they hit hard right at the start. I managed to beat that at full hp though thanks to skipping echo form and just going wild on focus since it's a short fight. the heart's beat hit me a few times, but other than that, no big deal. I finished the fight at full hp.

fun stuff!
