Slay the Spire 2 Beta Patch Adds Per-Run Badges and Major Balance Changes

The opt-in update tests new progression cues before a wider rollout.

Overview

  • Mega Crit pushed patch v0.102.0 to Steam’s beta branch, adding Badges that mark unique feats at the end of each run with plans to show them in run history.
  • The new Inflation modifier in the higher-difficulty Ascension mode raises card-removal prices, starting at 100 gold and climbing by 50 each time you use the service.
  • The Silent’s Blade of Ink now creates Inky Shivs mid-fight, adding two by default or three when upgraded that hit for six damage and apply one Weak.
  • The Necrobinder’s Borrowed Time now grants four energy, or six when upgraded, while making your cards cost one more for that turn to support expensive builds.
  • Boss fights and polish saw more tuning, including a Skulking Colony that attacks every turn, a harsher Doormaker Grasp, and UI updates like distinct monster speech bubbles.
