Slay the Spire 2

The fourteenth-of-August beta update for Slay the Spire 2 arrives with a note of warning: there will be no patch on the 27th, and the team has flagged that subsequent updates may take longer than usual as development attention turns toward what the announcement describes as "BIG, much-anticipated pieces of content."

For now, v0.111.0 delivers concrete changes across balance, localization, and presentation.

What changed

Card reworks

  • Rend (Colorless): Energy cost dropped from 2 to 1; base damage reduced from 15/18 to 10/12
  • Salvo and Splash have swapped rarities — Splash is now Rare, Salvo is not
  • Tezcatara's Brightest Flame (Ancients): max HP loss on use increased from 1 to 2
  • Nonupeipe's Beautiful Bracelet relic: now Enchants 4 random cards instead of letting the player choose

Enemy buffs

  • Axebot: Hammer Uppercut damage up to 14/18; gains +10 Max HP each respawn; One-Two damage raised to 10/11 per hit
  • Mechaknight: now also deals 8/12 damage on its Flamethrower turn
  • Exoskeleton, Globe Head, Louse Progenitor, Soul Fysh, Entomancer: each received targeted stat increases at higher Ascension levels

Other additions

  • Indonesian localization officially implemented
  • New card art added
  • Low HP idle animations introduced for all playable characters

The enemy-side buffs are broad and consistent, suggesting the beta's higher Ascension tiers were undertuned — players pushing into late difficulty should expect noticeably stiffer resistance.
