Frequently Asked Questions

What is the total number of cards in Slay the Spire 2?▼

Slay the Spire 2 features over 500 cards across 6 characters, including the two new characters Regent and Necrobinder. Each character has a unique card pool of attacks, skills, and powers across four rarity tiers: Basic, Common, Uncommon, and Rare.

How do I search and filter cards on this page?▼

Use the search bar to find cards by name or description text. Use the dropdown filters to narrow by character (Ironclad, Silent, Defect, Regent, Necrobinder, Colorless), card type (Attack, Skill, Power, Curse, Status), or rarity (Basic, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ancient, Special). The result count shows matching cards out of the total database.

Are there new cards in Slay the Spire 2 compared to STS1?▼

Yes, Slay the Spire 2 introduces hundreds of new cards. The two new characters — Regent and Necrobinder — bring entirely new card pools with unique mechanics. Existing characters like Ironclad, Silent, and Defect also have new cards and rebalanced classics. An Ancient rarity tier has been added alongside new card types.

Which character has the most cards?▼

Each character has roughly the same number of cards, though the exact count varies by game version. The Ironclad and Silent have well-established card pools from STS1, while the new characters Regent and Necrobinder have smaller but growing pools as the game evolves through updates.

What are the best cards to look for in STS2?▼

The best cards vary by character and strategy, but community favorites include: Wraith Form (Silent) for near-invincibility, Corruption (Ironclad) for free skills, Echo Form (Defect) for doubled card value, and Catalyst (Silent) for exponential poison damage. Browse our "Best Cards" category for a curated list.

How are card rarities determined in STS2?▼

Card rarities in Slay the Spire 2 follow a weighted system. Common cards appear most frequently in rewards (~60%), followed by Uncommon (~35%) and Rare (~3-5%). Higher rarities generally mean more powerful or build-defining effects. The new Ancient rarity in STS2 represents exceptionally rare and powerful cards.

Can I filter cards by specific mechanics like Exhaust or Poison?▼

Currently, you can filter cards by character, type, rarity, and search by text. We recommend searching for keywords like "Exhaust", "Poison", "Shiv", or "Strength" in the search bar to find cards with specific mechanics. Character-specific category pages (Ironclad, Silent, etc.) provide deeper dives into each character's card pool.
