Slay the Spire 2 Adds Fool
Tap title to read story
The latest Slay the Spire 2 update introduces the Fool, the game’s sixth playable character. The Fool’s main gimmick revolves around her Arrow, which, when fired using specific cards, inflicts the Impaled status on an enemy. An Impaled enemy must be hit three times (or killed) to return the Arrow, and cards that require an Arrow won’t work until it is recovered. The Fool also generates Tarot Cards of other Slay the Spire characters, including the Hermit and the Watcher, hinting that both may appear in the game. In addition to the new character, the beta patch v0.113.0 adds Blitz Mode and Dread Mode, new relics, card nerfs and buffs, and fresh events such as the Byrdpip evolution.
