Hello, I am in love with the game BUT I am kind of harstuck on A9 so I thought why not ask for some advise :) So here is the rundown of how I got here and I guess I'll try to describe what I am doing and where I am failing :)

So I made it to A4/5 on intuition alone (I havr like 200hrs in STS1) and then I got the advice to take more fights and less questionmarks and that kind of catapulted me to where I am now. I try to take 1-3 questionmarks per act and get a good mix of elite and Campfires in, totally dependong on what needa more. Around one shop per act dependeand on the path, usually late. Generally going into a run I'll try to grab the first actuall good damage card and then a good block card and see if I can build a synergy from there.

Now starting A9 I mostly get killed im the first 5 hallway fighta and I have no clue why. :/ Does anyone see a glaring problem with my gameplan so far? Am I maybe misjudging the power of somr cards amd thus taking the wrong cards?

And advice welcome thanks for taking the time!

Do you mean help for STS1 or STS2? I think it differs b/t the two.

Some general rules of thumb I've picked up from Baalor...

Neow bonus should help you get past the first elite. e.g. if there's no merchant before the first elite, don't take the 150 gold (as an example).

For STS2: Underdocks, prioritize defense, Overgrowth prioritize damage.

For STS1: Take card rewards that help you beat the first elite. Namely, prioritize damage over skils for G-Nob. Also AoE, in general, for lower level floors to help get past sentries and other normal fights that have multiple enemies. And "big" block cards in lower level floors, like Equilibrium.

Try to avoid taking multiple high-cost cards in the early floors, unless you happened to have taken a Neow bonus that gives you extra energy.
