Slay the Spire 2 Wiki — Builds, Tier List, Cards & Relics

Ironclad

“The last soldier of the Ironclads. Crushes foes with sword and flame against his will.”

A battle-hardened warrior who sold his soul to harness demonic power. Excels at raw strength and self-healing through combat. His Burning Blood relic restores 6 HP after every fight, making him forgiving for newer players.

Silent

“A huntress from outside the Spire. Ready to stab and poison anything in her way.”

A deadly huntress who employs poison, shivs, and cunning to eliminate foes. Masters of card draw, discard manipulation, and multiple consistent archetypes that mesh together extremely well.

Defect

“An automaton eternally modifying itself to survive. Deploys Orb technology when it must fight.”

An ancient combat automaton that channels elemental Orbs — Lightning, Frost, Dark, Glass, and Plasma — for versatile strategies. Returns from StS1 with a familiar toolkit and is considered one of the most consistent characters.

Regent

“Heir to the Throne of Stars. Wields cosmic powers but his minions do the work.”

The Regent balances a unique Stars resource alongside Energy. Stars are permanent until spent, with theoretically unlimited stockpiling. His Forge mechanic and star-powered abilities offer insane scaling potential.

Necrobinder

“A Spireborn lich who seeks revenge. Calls upon her trusty left hand, Osty, in combat.”

A Spireborn lich with her loyal bodyguard Osty. Osty blocks attacks for you, creating an extra HP layer. The Necrobinder offers doom, ethereal, and summon archetypes — high ceiling but a steep learning curve.
