When your opponent/s lay off the attacks is when the real fun begins. If you know that your opponent will attack next turn, switch into the Calm stance and build your Block in preparation. This is why experience pays off when playing as her. You really feel like a ninja-like monk when you play as the Watcher, and it is imperative to know your enemy if you want to progress far. This may, in part, have influenced the decision to place her at the top of this Slay the Spire classes ranked list, but in truth she just really is that good. Her ability to Scry and switch between different stances was a genius addition by MegaCrit when she was added in early Jan 2020, and the Watcher managed to make an already fantastic game even better. It took me a very long time to get to even a decent level playing as the Watcher, but once you master her, she easily becomes the best character in Slay the Spire. Biased Cognition can also be a game changer, but this depends on how long you anticipate a battle to last for (the longer it goes on, the worse it gets).Īll in all, the Defect is easily one of the best characters in Slay the Spire and I have no qualms about putting it second in this Slay the Spire classes ranked list. My strongest runs, though, have actually been when Frost orbs have been the most prominent.ĭefragment is a highly useful card in any build, as are Loop and Dualcast. I tend to opt for an offensive Lightning based approach, loading up on Ball Lightning, Static Discharge, Electrodynamics and Storm. Playing as the Defect requires a fair amount of strategy and thought, as you must try and place your orbs in optimal positions and tactically decide whether your next move/s will be offensive or defensive. The Defect Slay the Spire – The Defectįor the longest time, the Defect would have topped any Slay the Spire classes ranked list of mine, and is still probably my most played class of the 4. But his Strength and Health stats mean that she doesn’t come at the bottom of this Slay the Spire classes ranked list. With all that said, I wouldn’t say that the Ironclad is one of the best classes in Slay the Spire, as I personally think that the runs can get a bit samey with little variation. I also think that Burning Blood is the best starting relic of all of the Slay the Spire classes as the increased health gives you more chances to Smith instead of Rest. There are also some great builds you can form with the Pain curse, too, and when used in combination with Self-Forming Clay and Rupture, the Ironclad becomes almost undefeatable. You may also choose to go the defensive route, using Barricade and high Block cards to consistently keep your Block stat high. For this, you’ll likely want to have Demon Form, Inflame, and Feed. My favorite option is to take an aggressive approach that focuses on Strength and can lead to some devastating attacks. The Ironclad is a very solid character with good health and a number of different approaches you can take to complete a run. The Ironclad Slay the Spire – The Ironclad That being said, I don’t think that the Silent is one of the best characters in Slay the Spire, and usually opt for another class to play as. Having a few Noxious Fumes, Catalyst, and Crippling Cloud cards in combination with the Snecko Skull or The Specimen can lead to a very fun run. Her ability to deal progressive Poison damage is one of my favorite things to do when playing as her. There are some things I love about the Silent, though. TIngsha and Tough Bandages are also very average relics if you don’t have the right deck. The Ring of the Serpent, for example, almost feels like a curse as on turn 1 you draw 1 additional card as opposed to 2 with the Ring of the Snake (please correct me if I have got this wrong!). The Silent has some of the worst relics in the game, too, and I find some of them confusing. Perhaps this is because she has the largest starting deck (12) so there are more possible deck combinations. If you can get your hand on a Wraith Form, then your likelihood of being victorious increases tenfold, but sometimes the cards you are dealt leave you struggling to get halfway through the first floor – this rarely seems to happen with other characters, at least for me. She has a good solid mix of Block, Attack, and Status cards, but is not really that great in any one field. Yet, the more I played, the less progress I felt I could make with her. Don’t get me wrong, the Silent is a strong character and was actually the first class that I completed a run with. This may be a controversial choice for the bottom of rank, as many people love the Silent.
