Compare the five launch classes and their roles in the roster.
Patch and Current Status
Check what changed before you trust older Slay the Spire 2 advice.
This hub exists to answer a practical question: which facts, guides, and assumptions still reflect the current early-access build, and which ones belong to an older snapshot.
Start with the current-status pages first. Use the reveal-history page after that when your question is about how the sequel changed between reveal season and launch rather than what the current build looks like right now.
Current Status
Open these first when you need the current answer, not the archive.
Patch tracking and the launch checklist are the pages that tell readers what is still live, current, and worth trusting before they revisit older strategy guidance.

Early Access Launch Checklist
A snapshot of what is live in Slay the Spire 2 right now, what is confirmed by Mega Crit, and what still looks likely to move during early access.
Quick answer
What should you know at the start of Slay the Spire 2 early access?
Change History
Use history pages after the current-state answer is already clear.
Reveal-history content matters when the question is about how the sequel evolved over time, not whether a page still reflects the active early-access build.
Affected Strategy Areas
When a patch lands, these are the pages most worth revisiting next.
Patch notes rarely matter in isolation. These hubs translate change into practical strategy, archetype shifts, and sequel-comparison context.
Tips
Go to Tips when the update changes decision-making, boss prep, route planning, or progression advice.
Builds
Open Builds when the patch affects archetype strength, combo ceilings, or which class paths remain reliable.
Compare
Use Compare when a patch changes how clearly STS2 differs from STS1 in cards, relics, or system structure.
