Silent Cards Slay the Spire 2 — Complete Card Pool Guide
Updated 2026-06-02
The Silent's StS2 Card Pool
The Silent has a reworked card pool in StS2. About 30% of her old cards are gone. New cards fill the gaps. The focus shifted from poison stacking to shivs and discard synergy.
- Catalyst — The triple poison card is gone. Poison builds are less viable now.
- Burst — No more double-casting your best skill.
- Corpse Explosion — AOE poison explosion removed.
- Envenom — Poison-on-hit removed.
| Card Name | Cost | Effect | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quickstep | 1 Energy | Deal 6 damage. Adroit. | Common |
| Blade Dance+ | 1 Energy | Add 3 Shivs to hand (up from 2). | Uncommon |
| Shadow Stitch | 1 Energy | Deal 4 damage. Apply 2 Vulnerable. Discard a card. | Common |
| Veil of Knives | 2 Energy | Deal 12 damage to all enemies. Exhaust. | Rare |
The Silent is faster now. Shiv builds are the main path. Poison is still there but as a secondary strategy. Players who loved slow poison stacking will hate this. Players who want fast burst damage will love it.
Look for relics that trigger on discard. Tough Bandages and Tingsha are even stronger now with the discard focus.
