Slay the Spire 2 Beta Rolls Back Key Nerfs and Buffs the Regent

Mega Crit says these beta tweaks are provisional.

Overview

  • The beta patch, which arrived Friday, restores Prepared, Borrowed Time, and Capture Spirit after last week’s changes drew heavy pushback.
  • The Regent receives broad buffs and redesigns, including an Arsenal rework that grants Strength when you create cards and faster draw from Guiding Star and Spoils of War.
  • Developers rework progression and fights, removing early Act elites from floor six and revising the Doormaker so each visual phase uses a set power on a rotation.
  • Several encounters are toned down to smooth difficulty spikes, with Skulking Colony dealing less damage and dropping Dazed, Waterfall Giant losing health, and The Lost and Forgotten no longer scaling stat steals at higher Ascensions.
  • Mega Crit keeps all updates on the Steam beta branch and expands the in‑game feedback limit to 8,000 characters, urging players to test changes and respond in the client rather than through store reviews.
