Slay the Spire 2 Beta Patch v0.110.0 Reworks Silent, Regent, and More
The beta update adds keyboard-only controls, new character-form visual effects, card portraits, multiplayer fixes, and a broad set of balance changes.
Slay the Spire 2 beta version v0.110.0 brings a large batch of balance changes, card and relic reworks, interface improvements, and bug fixes. Mega Crit also added a keyboard-only control option, a map screenshot button, and visual effects for characters’ unique forms in the official Steam patch announcement.
The update changes several cards across every playable character. Silent receives some of the biggest adjustments, including new versions of Haze, Outbreak, and Scare, while Mirage returns to an earlier design without Exhaust. Regent’s Pillar Of Creation also returns to its former behavior, although its Block values are lower.
There is plenty to see outside combat, too. Players can now use the game entirely with a keyboard, share a screenshot of the complete map, and get clearer feedback when remapping controls. The patch also adds new portrait art, form VFX, localization updates, and fixes for multiplayer softlocks and lost Epoch unlocks.
