杀戮尖塔2 (STS2) v0.104.0 补丁说明

Hey Slayers, we're back to updating the beta branch this week! Here's an overview of our goals with this patch.

On Ascensions:

When it comes to general balance, the base difficulty is quite hard right now. We're continuously adjusting this baseline difficulty to make it more accessible for a wide range of players, while also continuing to deliver a challenging game at the highest Ascensions.

Similarly to the first game, completing runs of Slay the Spire 2 at the highest difficulty should feel like a monumental achievement for a fraction of players devoted to understanding the ins and outs of the game's mechanics. Upon beating your first run, we added a message to communicate this intention for the Ascension system.

On Doormaker:

We are currently monitoring the Doormaker and looking at a combination in-game feedback, social media posts, and metrics. We want to give players time to adjust a bit, otherwise we'll be balancing around kneejerk reactions. Currently, from looking at millions of runs, Doormaker's overall difficulty/winrate is in a good place (slightly weaker than the other Act 3 bosses both in kill rate and damage dealt). However, we do want to ensure that its mechanics aren't too abrasive against certain playstyles.

Miscellaneous:

In other news, we've also got a few card reworks, new Badges, and a balance pass (notably, a Neow's Fury buff is here). One oft-requested feature we've added is an error message when in-game feedback is not received (for instance, if a player is offline), so that should make it clearer when your feedback was actually able to be properly submitted. We've also got a ton of fixes for various crashes and bugs as well as cool new art for some cards (and a certain Ancient)!

CONTENT:

General:

• Added three more Badges

• Damage Leader - Dealt the most damage to enemies in multiplayer.
• Debuffer - Applied the most Debuffs in multiplayer.
• C-c-c-Combo - Played 20 cards in a single turn.

Ironclad:

• Reworked Conflagration card:

• Old: Conflagration - Attack - Cost 1 - Rare - Deal 8(9) damage to ALL enemies. Deals 2(3) additional damage for each other Attack you've played this turn.
• New: Conflagration - Attack - Cost 1 - Rare - Deal 2 damage to ALL enemies 4(5) times.

• Reworked Drum of Battle card:

• Old: Drum of Battle - Power - Cost 0 - Uncommon - Draw 2(3) cards. At the start of your turn, Exhaust the top card of your Draw Pile.
• New: Drum of Battle - Skill - Cost 1 - Uncommon - Draw 2 cards. When this card is Exhausted, gain 2(3) Energy.

Anthony's note: Drum of Battle was previously the lowest picked Uncommon Ironclad card, and generally unpopular. This rework attempts to put it into a more interesting spot and adds some synergy to Exhaust decks. Conflagration had low pick rates and middling win rates for a Rare, while also feeling more like an effect that belonged on the Silent (caring about number of card plays). It has been reworked into a simple AOE card that can act as a Strength payout. The numbers will likely need tuning to get into a desired spot, but this should feel like a more appropriate part of the Ironclad's kit.

Regent:

• Reworked Parry card:

• Old: Parry - Uncommon - Power - Cost 1 - Whenever you play Sovereign Blade, gain 10(14) Block.
• New: Parry - Uncommon - Power - Cost 1 - Sovereign Blade now gains 10(14) Block.
• This means Parry's Block is displayed on the Sovereign Blade card and is now also affected by powers like Dexterity and Frail.

Anthony's note: Parry's numbers are looking correct now, but we think it will be more fun showing the effect on the Blade itself. Relics and powers now being able to interact with the Block should open up new fun interactions. As a result of this change, its numbers may need further tweaking in the future, but we will start with it as is.

Enemies:

• Reworked Axebots combat to have just a single, more challenging Axebot

BALANCE:

General:

• Terminal run modifier can no longer bring a player below 1 HP

Silent:

• Changed Nightmare card: if you play it and select a card with an Affliction on it, that Affliction is now removed from the copies added to your hand the following turn
• Buffed Untouchable card: upgraded Block gain increased From +2 -> +3

Regent:

• Changed Tyranny card: now triggers before Bombardment card

• This means that if, for example, Tyranny exhausts Bombardment, Bombardment will be played immediately after

• Nerfed Reflect card: Block decreased from 17(21) -> 16(20)

Ancients:

• Buffed Neow's Booming Conch relic: in addition to drawing extra cards, now gains 1 Energy at the start of Elite combats
• Buffed Neow's Fury card: instead of selecting randomly now allows you to choose which 2 cards will be put into your Hand from your Discard Pile (you may also now choose fewer than 2 cards if you want)
• Buffed Tezcatara's Nutritious Soup relic: in addition to making your Strikes cost 0 and giving them Eternal, now makes all your Strikes deal 3 additional damage

Enemies:

• Nerfed Ruby Raider Assassin: damage decreased from 11(12) -> 10(11)
• Changed Scrolls of Biting: have slightly less HP at low Ascension but slightly higher HP at high Ascension, changed from 31(32) - 38(39) -> 30(33)-37(39)
• Changed Owl Magistrate: now has slightly less HP at low Ascension, but slightly higher HP at high Ascension, changed from 234(243) -> 231(247)
• Changed Slimed Berserker: now has slightly less HP at low Ascension, but slightly higher HP at high Ascension, changed from 266(276) -> 261(281)
• Nerfed Vantom at lower Ascensions:

• Dismember move damage decreased from 27(30) -> 26(30)
• Slippery power goes from 9 -> 8(9)

• Nerfed Waterfall Giant: now heals less at lower Ascension, HP healed changed from 15 -> 10(15)

Anthony's note: We are slowly starting the process of making lower Ascensions a little easier, and high Ascensions slightly harder. We want to do this gradually instead of all at once.

• Changed Slippery Bridge event: will no longer offer to remove the same card multiple times unless it has already offered to remove all other cards in your deck at least once

Multiplayer:

• Nerfed multiplayer scaling for enemy Artifact, Slippery, and Skittish powers
