New: AI Seed Advisor, a Build and Strategy for Any Seed

The new Seed Advisor turns any run seed into a playstyle, a build and an early/mid/late plan, grounded in the game's real RNG, not guessed.

The Seed Analyzer replays any seed's exact shop, packs, jokers and bosses. The new AI Seed Advisor takes the next step: paste a seed and it tells you what the seed is best played as, how to play it early, mid and late, and the lineup to build.

What you get

  • A high-value Joker board: every ×mult core, scaling engine, retrigger, copy, enabler and economy piece the seed offers across 8 antes, grouped by role. Computed deterministically, instant, no AI.
  • The playstyles it enables: the build archetypes that fit this seed, scored, each with its key pieces and a quick early/mid/late plan.
  • An AI report: what to play and why, a phase-by-phase plan (Antes 1-3, 4-6, 7-8), and a final lineup.
  • Build around your core: pick any Joker the seed offers and the AI designs the lineup around it, or leave it empty and it picks the strongest core itself.
  • Risks: the Boss Blinds that can break the plan, and when they hit.

How it stays honest

Most "AI" tools guess. This one doesn't get to. Every report runs in two layers.

First, the deterministic facts. The same verified engine behind the Seed Analyzer computes exactly what the seed offers across all 8 antes, including which Legendary a Soul card spawns, and ranks the playstyles it supports.

Then the AI reasons only over those facts. It receives the real board and is told not to invent jokers, numbers or seed contents. The facts are fixed by the game's RNG; the AI only supplies the judgment on top, namely what to play, the phase plan, and the lineup.

How it picks a line

The advisor evaluates a seed the way a strong player does. Surviving each ante is the constraint. Early and mid game, the goals are economy and collecting high-value jokers; the endgame is converging into one coherent build.

High scores come only from ×mult and retrigger. Flat +chips and +mult raise the floor but don't win, so a seed is judged on whether it can assemble a ×mult core, a retrigger or scaling amplifier, and enough early money.

Legendaries are auto-takes, since they are ready-made ×mult cores. The exceptions are the functional ones, Chicot and Perkeo, which depend on your run state.

Speed and limits

Daily AI reportsCapped per visitor to keep it free to run

Because the engine is deterministic, a given seed always produces the same board, so once any visitor runs the AI on a seed that result is cached and instant for the next person.
