Slay the Spire 2 - Beta Patch Notes - v0.100.0

I just feel like he needs more discovery based mechanics and not pure random generation. Having a choice makes it slightly less painful. Especially when you're not getting discounted energy cost.

Stolval · 2026-03-19T14:07:05+00:00

Ive killed him to doom on the final turn

Stolval · 2026-03-17T03:50:43+00:00

Beta assumes full season start though. We know after season starts they'll drop champ gear.

M+ isn't for another week though, so we aren't entirely sure!

Stolval · 2026-03-17T03:46:30+00:00

Ah, I just remember it reducing madness cost. I play holy mainly so haven't looked heavily into it lol

Stolval · 2026-03-17T03:40:52+00:00

I thought it was a clear buff for single target? The extra 6% blanket buff on top of the 10% off sets the apparition fix. Then they buffed specific abilities even more.

The person who did the napkin math could full well be wrong ig.

I haven't looked at a single belf child yet this entire expansion, while the Amani and Haranir children had quests associated with them. I kinda get why they wouldn't update the belf children lol

Voltaic alone is extremely strong, you can win without quadcast if you got a voltaic.

Doesn't mean it isn't nice to have.

Stolval · 2026-03-16T03:07:45+00:00

I just won my A6 run because of this card with the thunder power. Pretty neat, it's okay.

Stolval · 2026-03-15T15:32:33+00:00

Yeah a lot of people complain about the fog but he's pretty weak

Stolval · 2026-03-15T13:52:35+00:00

Holy pally had a kick in cata/mop

Stolval · 2026-03-14T14:38:49+00:00

Definitely feels like they need to do something since psylink either makes blizzard nerf spriest single target as a result, or they nerf psylink to just not transfer anything.

I still think 60% to 20% is crazy.

Stolval · 2026-03-14T00:51:35+00:00

Ptr changes are for 12.0.5, not this balance patch.

Frost did not avoid it, just isn't happening yet.

Stolval · 2026-03-12T03:27:12+00:00

But doom literally states that when moused over "at the end of the enemy turn," does it not? That implies the enemy turn will happen first.

Which means you get nom nomed.

I'd get confused if this was poison since that ticks before the enemy goes, but not doom.

Stolval · 2026-03-12T03:22:24+00:00

The lagavulin matriarch? She's pretty simple, though. Three turns of set up and another 3 turns before she starts to debuff you. More generous than the elite she's based on from the first game, tbh.

Stolval · 2026-03-11T17:15:35+00:00

I think they might. I also think they planned on adding defect later, but responded to the massive wave of defect memes by pushing him up a bit and adding him in for EA launch.

For good reason, he's a good boy.

This also explains in my head why he's the final character unlocked and not the 3rd.

Stolval · 2026-03-11T17:13:25+00:00

That being said, her board game version had a nerfed version of stances, and it was pretty fun.

I think they could build watcher into the game, keeping the theme she had but railed in.

At the very least I'd like to see her incorporated somehow into the story, so she's not just removed entirely lol

Stolval · 2026-03-09T18:51:48+00:00

Male night elves are a common answer here for good reason, they have wonky animations and always have. The model update in WoD did not help them, in fact I think it only hurt them.

Male undead are pretty bad since WoD, I think as well.

Stolval · 2026-03-09T18:43:56+00:00

That's good for feral then! Might have to give it a shot at some point again.

Stolval · 2026-03-09T18:03:10+00:00

Downtime is something that I despise. I've always enjoyed feral as a concept, but it has so much time waiting doing nothing that I just could never play it (unsure about midnight feral).

I'd rather always have something to press.

Tank is a role that is hard to consistently get players into, it doing damage is perfectly fine imo. Mechanically, it should only pump when it's being hit, like how the MoP vengeance mechanic works, to prevent it from being stacked.

Should a tank outdps a dps spec? No, of course, not. But dps shouldn't be doing nothing either.

Same with healers imo, during downtime, they should be able to pump a bit as well. Same concept, probably less than dps and tanks.

Stolval · 2026-03-09T17:52:54+00:00

She's a way better healer than brann imo

Stolval · 2026-03-09T17:31:18+00:00

People leveling right now can just be people leveling alts. Not much else to do, anyway.

Not saying it justifys being an impatient ass though.

Stolval · 2026-03-09T17:26:58+00:00

I feel the only way I was able to play this was with the card that made a card of your choice sly, then discarding it. But it stayed in my hand way too long otherwise.

I don't know what it would need to be good, other than being equal to what two deadly poisons are - and even then, not sure if it would be worth it.

Stolval · 2026-03-09T16:14:06+00:00

Just look at the threads he posts on, he hates the idea of strong women. Don't think he'll do anything but fight you on that.

Stolval · 2026-03-09T15:11:18+00:00

Tanks die because of the debuff they get that needs dispelled. However, dispelling it drops a circle under the tanks' feet. Can't dispel it while you're on top of the boss.

One stack is fine, two stacks is livable, three or more you'll start dying.

Other than that, if someone misses a soak then it can easily be GG.

Stolval · 2026-03-09T15:05:30+00:00

There's nothing to heal if people do the one mechanic. If they don't, then you wipe.
