Slay the Spire: How to Unlock New Cards and Relics

Unlocking New Cards in Slay the Spire

• 💡 New cards in Slay the Spire are unlocked based on a single value: experience (XP).
• ⚡ XP is gained by performing various actions within the game, including climbing floors, slaying enemies, and defeating elites and bosses.

Earning Experience Points (XP)

• 🎯 Floors climbed contribute to your XP total.
• ⚔️ Enemies slain directly award experience.
• 🏆 Killing elites (specifically mentioning Exordium elites) grants a significant amount of XP.
• 👑 Defeating bosses (up to three per run, excluding The Heart) also adds to your XP.

XP Thresholds and Unlocks

• 📈 The game tracks your cumulative score, which is added to your XP amount.
• 🔑 You can unlock different cards by reaching specific XP thresholds, with values ranging from 300 to 2,000 XP for unlocks.

Strategy for Maximizing XP

• 🚀 To unlock cards efficiently, focus on playing the game, engaging as many enemies as possible, and progressing through floors.
• ⚠️ It's important to balance aggression with survival; aim to go higher in the spire to maximize score from floors, enemies, and bosses, rather than being overzealous and ending a run prematurely.
