Help me out Fellas!

QUESTION/HELP

I've been having a blast playing STS2 this entire weekend. Unlocked Acension on every Character and afterwards set my first goal to beat A10 with the one and only Ironclad.

Ive had some hick ups during my climb, but usually after 2 or 3 attempts, I've conquered the ascension level I was playing in. Until A9 hit me:

Most of my early runs, I tried out the new cards. That lead to discovering, that the new vulnerable package Ironclad recieved, was good and consistant. An early Upgraded Bash often lead to this build (also got Break offered a lot) and with that build I often beat the "higher" ascensions. I had some Exhaust runs and surprisingly enough, they always ended up winning (even without corruption). But honestly I really got lucky during my card rewards.

Now I am kinda stuck. A9 is crazy and I dont know what to do. Anyone who has been playing Ironclad has any tips/discoverys they might want to share?

Welp, Ima play another run and see if my "cry for help", echoed through the spire. Let me know your theorys/stuff etc. would love to hear your input.
