Slay the Spire Guide

From Zero to Hero

Master deck building, learn card synergies, and climb to Ascension 20

Character Guides

A soldier hardened by war. Excels at strength scaling and self-damage synergies.

A deadly assassin. Masters poison, shivs, and discard synergies.

A combat automaton. Harnesses orbs for lightning, frost, dark, and plasma effects.

A blind ascetic. Channels divine power through stance dancing.

Remove Strikes and Defends at shops. A smaller deck draws your best cards more often.

You need both damage to kill enemies and block to survive. Don't neglect either.

Check the map before each act. Balance elite fights, rest sites, and shops based on your deck strength.
