Slay the Spire Tier List

The constant updates since 2019 have made the game more refined and polished in terms of gameplay mechanics and pick rate. It was first launched in 2019, which means that the gaming community of the Slay the Spire is thriving well and supporting new updates and features alike.

The game is a card game that allows players to create their personalized decks and use them against other players for what it’s worth. Not to mention, once hooked, you won’t ever be quitting the game. It’s just too engrossing. Well, the real issue arises when players don’t know which card to root for; hence, we have penned down a succinct tier list for these decks. If you want to know more about the Slay the spire game, I would definitely recommend you to go through this Slay the Spire Tier list and not just gloss over it.

So, without any further ado, let’s begin!

Ironclad Tier List

The Ironclad class focuses on a combative stance. You get to DPS these characters with the highest HP available at your disposal. Not to mention, the class is equipped with a number of decent powers, including HP regeneration (6 HP for every strike).

The Defect Tier List

The characters from the defect tier list have insurmountable attacking prowess. Well, most of the characters use a unique mechanism to channel the power TO and FRO with the help of Orbs. On top of that, there is a surfeit of passive talents that the characters put to use when in combat; ultimately, leading to a greater win rate.

Apart from this, the defect starts with three orbs initially and then can be increased with the help of relics and cards.

Conclusion

This brings Slay the Spire tier list to a close. I know there are a lot of sub-powers to select from, and it can be strenuous at times to finalize a single card. But this is not how this game works. You need to collaborate with your peers, and friends and charge forward in the battle. Happy Gaming!
