Slay the Spire 2 Beta Patch Targets Infinite Combos With Sweeping Balance Changes

The experimental update is confined to Steam’s opt-in branch, with further tuning expected before any main-branch rollout.

Overview

  • Mega Crit’s v0.100.0 balance pass focuses on curbing ‘infinites,’ reworking dozens of cards and enemies across all classes.
  • The Silent’s hallmark Prepared was reworked into Prepare, now costing 1 energy to discard two cards and granting energy next turn.
  • Players report the revamped Doormaker can remove every tenth drawn card for the duration of a fight, disrupting looping strategies.
  • The update adds a Phobia Mode that swaps visuals for specific enemies and disables the Infection overlay animation for accessibility.
  • Relic prices at shops drop by 25 Gold and gold-generating relics no longer appear for purchase, while several multiplayer cards receive nerfs including Huddle Up now exhausting and Beacon of Hope no longer stacking.
