Maw Bankĭescription: Whenever you climb a floor, gain 12 Gold. Even if you manage to get the Masked Merchant to give you a discount, consider spending your gold elsewhere. Every run starts you off with only three potion slots, so there’s no justification for obtaining the Cauldron anyhow. Unfortunately, in the world of Slay the Spire, flaunting your luxurious relic won’t prevent enemies from tearing your limbs off. Why it’s not worth it: As a shop-exclusive relic, the best comparison for the Cauldron would be a Gucci bag - an expensive item that boasts your wealth to the world. Cauldronĭescription: Upon pickup, brews 5 random potions. However, this refers to “unblocked” damage only, so the Boot renders itself useless against enemies equipped with Block.
If you don’t have any Strength, it can work well with low-damage burst attacks or against enemies who have Malleable and Intangible. The only time it shines is perhaps when you’ve been Weakened. Why it’s not worth it: The Boot is what most players would refer to as the “chocolate teapot.” It provides little to nothing beneficial. ĭescription: Whenever you would deal 4 or less unblocked Attack damage, increase it to 5. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into the six worst relics in Slay the Spire. Contrary to popular belief, what you “do not have” in your inventory can actually become your saving grace. To do so, you’ll need to become stronger by amassing all sorts of abilities and mystical relics to keep your skeletal structure intact from, say, the next boss’ charged beam attack that will fry you in milliseconds. The game’s objective is to simply survive. However, this is not the case for Slay the Spire, the roguelike deckbuilder that has you scrambling up floor after floor only to find out how many ways your body can be smashed to bits by all manner of monstrosities.
When the worlds of procedural generation spawn every kind of crazed, menacing creature eager to send you to your demise, a typical strategy is to hoard as many powerful relics as theoretically conceivable.
