Adroit Slay the Spire 2 — Is Adroit a Card or Relic?
Updated 2026-06-02
Adroit Is a Keyword, Not a Card or Relic
Adroit is a keyword introduced in Slay the Spire 2. It appears on several cards across multiple characters. Cards with Adroit cost 0 energy on the turn you draw them. After that turn, they cost their normal energy. Draw an Adroit card and play it the same turn for free. Let it sit in your hand and the discount expires.
- Adroit cards cost 0 the turn you draw them
- Cost returns to normal next turn
- Adroit stacks with energy reduction effects like Runic Pyramid and Snecko Eye
- Adroit does not carry over between turns — use it or lose it
The Silent has a card called Quickstep (1 energy, deals 6 damage, Adroit). The Necromancer has Ghostly Grasp (2 energy, deals 10 damage, applies 2 Weak, Adroit). A free 6 damage from Quickstep or free 10 damage + Weak from Ghostly Grasp is absurd value.
Adroit cards are weak picks if you have a lot of card draw. You end up with a full hand and the discount expires before you can play everything.
FAQ
- Is Adroit a relic?
- No. Adroit is a keyword that appears on cards. There are no relics with the Adroit keyword.
- Does Adroit stack with energy potions?
- Yes. Adroit cards cost 0 energy anyway. Extra energy from potions just means you can play more non-Adroit cards in the same turn.
- Can you retain an Adroit card for a free play next turn?
- No. The discount only applies the turn you draw the card. Retaining it resets the discount timer.
