How BROKEN is Vakuu?

[00:00:00]You know this agent? Well, this is Vaku.

[00:00:02]And Vaku gives you his earring sometimes, which allows him to play the very first turn of every single combat.

[00:00:08]But it got me thinking, what would happen if he played every single turn for you? Could he even win a run of Slay the Spire? To test this, for some reason, I decided to go to Ascension 10, and the results were extremely interesting. For example, I learned that Faku always targets the most left character, no matter what. He always plays the hand left to right, and if he's going to discard anything, it's always the card next to it.

[00:00:31]Unfortunately, he wasn't even close to beating Ascension 10, and every single time he got to act three, it was virtually an automatic loss. But what about Ascension 1? Did he do it? Check out the video below.
