Slay the Spire 2 makes painful but necessary nerfs, and some scary buffs, in a big new balance overhaul

Mega Crit rolled out a major Slay the Spire 2 beta balance patch with new starting relics and a new potion.

The update also nerfs several overpowered relics and cards, including changes across multiple classes and multiplayer.

Early-run choices are shifting as relics like Neow’s Sacrifice, Diamond Diadem, and Meat Cleaver are reworked or toned down.

Cards and effects such as Bloodletting, Well-Laid Plans, and Mirage also received adjustments, reshaping the beta meta.
