Defect card tier list

How these sts2 builds are found

Nobody picked these by hand. Every run uploaded to Spire Codex is grouped with the runs whose final decks and relics look most like it, and each group is named after the cards that set it apart. The win rate is the share of that group's runs that won. Builds show the cards to look for; click any card for its own win and pick rate, or open a character's card tier list.

FAQ

What are the Slay the Spire 2 best builds?

By win rate, Monarch's Gaze + Big Bang. But compare within a character: every character has a few builds above 50% and the best one differs by character, listed above.

Where do these builds come from?

Spire Codex groups every uploaded run each night by the cards and relics it held at the end, then names each group after its defining cards. We show the groups with at least 1,000 runs. Last grouped Oct 19, 2026.

Why do some builds win so often?

Partly because they are strong, and partly because a run has to survive long enough to collect a build's key cards and relics. Late-game pieces inflate win rates, so treat the numbers as a comparison between builds of the same character, not as your chance of winning when you start one.
