Personnages Slay the Spire 2

Ironclad wins by turning HP and cards into permanent combat advantage: Strength makes attacks matter, Exhaust trims the deck, and Barricade-style block engines buy enough time for boss fights.

Silent is strongest when the deck commits early: Poison solves long fights, shivs and Accuracy solve burst turns, and discard/draw keeps the best cards cycling.

Defect turns a small Focus lead into a whole fight plan. Good decks either scale orb output every turn or compress the fight with energy and zero-cost tempo.

Necrobinder rewards planning around delayed payoffs. Sacrifice and graveyard tools can snowball, but the deck must keep enough immediate defense to survive setup turns.

Regent is a scaling planner: stars and created weapons create inevitability, while Forge and Prophesize let the deck line up a decisive future turn.
