Why it matters
The Fool and the two modes land on the beta branch first, so Mega Crit is treating the character and mode design as something to test with players before it goes into the early access build.
Key Facts
- Mega Crit released update v0.113.0 for the Slay the Spire 2 beta branch on November 13.
- The Fool is a musician character whose starter relic Songbow grants 6 Bow Power at the start of combat.
- Blitz is a short deck-building mode with no map, a straight-line climb, and three cards at the start.
- Dread is unlocked by reaching Ascension 10 with all characters and strengthens bosses and other enemies in the same Act.
- Slay the Spire 2 is available in early access for PC via Steam.
It adds The Fool, a musician character who fights with arrows and the Songbow starter relic, plus the Blitz mode (no map, straight-line climb, three starting cards) and Dread, unlocked by reaching Ascension 10 with every character. The patch is beta-only; specs may change before full release.
The Fool arrives with a mechanic built on retrieval. Attacks that fire an arrow combine with Bow Power for heavy damage, but the arrow stays lodged in the enemy as a Stuck Arrow, and you have to recover it with Skills, Attacks, or other means before firing again. Some cards only work on enemies carrying a Stuck Arrow; others only work while you hold one.
Blitz strips the map out and runs the Spire in a straight line with three cards at the start. Dread applies every Ascension condition, strengthens bosses, and lets those bosses buff all enemies in the same Act. The patch also adds events, a new event card, the colorless card My Sparkle!, and Evolution for Byrd's Hatchling.
