Early Access Balance Changes

Early Access Patch Notes

Slay the Spire 2 is in Early Access, and balance tuning happens frequently. This page summarizes the major changes.

How to Read Balance Changes

Nerfs

• Cost increase: the card gets harder to fit in, but it often remains strong on its own
• Reduced values: lower damage, Block, or buff amounts
• Added conditions: effects that used to be unconditional now come with requirements

Buffs

• Cost decrease: easier to fit in, and more flexible overall
• Increased values: simply stronger numbers
• Eased conditions: triggers become less restrictive and easier to use

Impact on the Meta

After a patch, it is worth checking the following:

• Shifts in tier list voting: reassess cards and Relics that received buffs
• Viability of builds: builds centered on nerfed cards need a second look
• New synergies: adjustments can open up fresh combinations
