Glimmer Skill

Is Glimmer good in Slay the Spire 2?

In Slay the Spire 2, Glimmer is an uncommon skill from the Regent card pool. Its effect: Draw cards. Put cards from your Hand on top of your Draw Pile. Performance-wise it’s a solid if unspectacular include, rated C tier overall.

Over 196 tracked runs its win rate sits at 32.1%, 18.3% ahead of the 13.8% all-deck baseline. It sees niche play, included in only 0.9% of eligible runs. When it is actually offered players take it 12.1% of the time, and that looks correct: those runs win 34.3% against 28.3% for runs that passed, a +5.6% pick lift over 146 decided runs. Within Regent runs it’s drafted 5.7% of the time, making it a regular part of that class’s decks. Decks that include it run about 1.2 copies on average.

Its standout pairing so far is The Smith, which lifts its win rate by +31.3% when the two share a deck. On the relic side, Tuning Fork is its standout companion, worth a +29.4% win-rate swing alongside it. It costs 1 energy, gets upgraded 24.8% of the time, and tends to be picked up near floor 15.

Pick or Skip: Glimmer

Players take Glimmer in 12.1% of the 1275 offers it appears in; those runs win 34.3% against 28.3% for runs that passed, a pick lift of +5.6% over 146 decided runs.

Taken 154 times out of 1275 offers.

Pick rate when offered counts offers, not runs: out of every time the game put this in front of a player, how often it was taken. It is not the same number as the share of runs that end up containing it.

Pick lift is the sample-adjusted gap between runs that took the option and runs that passed on it. It is the fair way to rank choices, because raw win rates put the smallest samples on top.
