I play it off and on, I never really got good at it. A few hundred hours, came within like 30 health of beating the 3rd area a few times but never got it. Also have not unlocked the 4th character. I still love the game, regardless. I can't quit it, I go back a lot.

Check out Roguebook if you haven't, it's similar with some different mechanics, I bought it recently wanting a StS kind of game, and was happy with it.

Imma check out Roguebook and Monster Train eventually, but I'll stick with StS for a while first.

About general tips, I saw a reddit guide that had some interesting ideas:

• In act 1, always pick frontloaded damage over future synergies.
• In act 2, pick aoe.
• In act 3, you can worry about getting the synergies, card manipulation, etc.

Of course it is very general advice but I find it pretty nice to at least have a vague strategy to lean on.

About Defect, I love getting like that echo power and creative AI, but that's a very slow deck. It's good for bosses and elites, but takes a bit long in regular fights, so you might want the rest of the deck to compensate for that.
