Slay The Spire 2 Reverts Controversial Nerf And Explains Why
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Slay the Spire 2's new v0.101.0 beta patch reverses many changes from the previous v0.100.0 patch, with developer Mega Crit attributing adjustments to in-game feedback rather than the recent Steam review bomb.
- The Prepared skill has been restored to its original, powerful state for the Silent character, as it is considered essential to the character's identity, despite concerns over dominant synergies.
- Ironclad received notable buffs, including changes to the Cinder and Tremble cards that improve exhaust mechanics and synergize better with other cards, enhancing gameplay strategy.
- Regent character buffs include multiple improvements such as better card draw with Spoils of War, cost adjustments for Sword Sage, and enhanced block from Parry, making the character more viable.
- The Defect character saw no buffs and instead had a nerf to the Voltaic card, increasing its cost from 2 to 3 to balance its powerful potential in Lightning orb builds.
