STS2 Card Tier List FAQ

Answers to common questions about the Slay the Spire 2 card tier list, best STS2 cards, reward picks, and community rankings.

What is this STS2 card tier list?
This is a Slay the Spire 2 card tier list built from community reward-pick data. Instead of being purely opinion based, the rankings here reflect weighted community pick rate from tracked reward screens.
How are the best STS2 cards ranked here?
Cards are ranked by weighted pick rate within the selected filter set. That means the ranking uses how often a card is chosen when offered, while also damping very small sample sizes so tiny datasets do not dominate the page.
Is this a Slay the Spire 2 community tier list?
Yes. This page is a community-driven STS2 tier list. The rankings come from tracked reward choices, which makes it useful for players who want to see what cards are being chosen most often when actually offered to players.
Can I use this page to find the best cards for each STS2 character?
Yes. Use the character filter to view the best-performing cards for Ironclad, Silent, Defect, Regent, or Necrobinder. This makes it easier to check the strongest community-picked cards for each character instead of looking at one global ranking.
Does this tier list show the best reward picks in Slay the Spire 2?
It helps surface the cards with the strongest community performance when offered, which is more useful than raw pick totals alone. That said, it is still best to use these rankings alongside deck context, route planning, relics, and your current run needs.
Why do some cards move between S, A, B, C, or D tier when filters change?
Tiers are based on the selected dataset. When you switch the character or time range, the ranking is rebuilt from that filtered card pool. A card can be stronger for one character or more successful in one time window than another.
Does searching for a card change its true tier placement?
No. Search only narrows the cards shown inside each existing tier. A lower-tier card will stay in its original section even when you search for it directly.
Why are some STS2 cards missing from the tier list?
This page currently depends on tracked reward data. If a card has not appeared often enough in the collected dataset, or if it has not been added to the current mapping yet, it may not appear here yet. Coverage will improve over time as more data is collected.
Is this better than a static Slay the Spire 2 card ranking?
It serves a different purpose. Static rankings are usually based on expert opinion, while this page reflects community behavior at scale. That makes it useful for spotting live trends, strong reward cards, and cards that consistently get taken when actually offered.
Where can I see full STS2 card details after clicking a tier-list card?
Clicking any mini card sends you to the STS2 Card Index with the card name auto-filled in the search. That lets you quickly jump from the tier list to the full card database.
What are the best STS2 cards to draft early?
Early picks depend on your character, route, and whether you need frontload, scaling, block, or consistency. This page helps by showing which reward cards are converting best when offered by the community, but the best draft still depends on the run state.
How often does the STS2 tier list update?
The page refreshes from the latest tracked reward-summary blob each day. As more reward picks are logged, the rankings can shift to reflect current community trends.
