Slay the Spire 2 Wiki
Draft a deck that wins Act 3, not a museum of rares
Mega Crit
The loop
Slay the Spire 2 is the sequel deckbuilder: climb, draft, fight elites when you can afford them, and respect Act 3 scaling. New characters and co-op options sit on top of the same ruthless math.
Path for rest sites and shops, add cards that solve the next act, remove starter strikes, then take the boss with a deck that has a plan.
First moves
- 1.Play the returning characters until pathing and card remove feel automatic. New heroes can wait.
- 2.Remove Strikes. A thin deck with a plan beats 40 cards of 'maybe'.
- 3.Elites are rewards if you are healthy and have damage. They are wipes if you are not.
- 4.If co-op is on, draft as a pair. Two greedy rare piles is two dead climbers.
