Character database
Slay the Spire 2 Characters
Character pages for returning and new heroes, with tier confidence and build direction.
Ironclad
Returning strength and exhaust baseline
Ironclad remains the cleanest returning-player starting point: high HP, direct damage scaling, and familiar exhaust decisions.
Silent
Discard, poison, and tempo planning
Silent rewards precise draw and discard planning. Returning players should watch for decks that look familiar but have different support density.
Necrobinder
New character with companion-based risk management
Necrobinder is the most important new-character page for search intent. The page focuses on companion management, defensive planning, and low-confidence patch notes.
Regent
New character page for archetype tracking
Regent needs an early database page because new-character keywords convert well into build, unlock, and tier-list searches.
Defect
Returning orb system and engine planning
Defect pages should focus on how orb support, scaling setup, and matchup counters differ from the original game.
FAQ
Which character should returning players try first?
Ironclad is the clearest baseline. Necrobinder is the better choice when you want a new system to learn.
Are character rankings stable during Early Access?
Not fully. Character pages should be read with patch confidence, because card support, relic interactions, and boss pressure can change after updates.
