In Slay the Spire 2, Hemokinesis is an uncommon attack from the Ironclad card pool. Its effect: Lose 2 HP. Deal 15 damage. The data flags it as a weaker pick, settling at D tier — usually one to pass on unless your deck specifically wants it.

Over 320 tracked runs its win rate sits at 20.6%, 6.7% ahead of the 13.8% all-deck baseline. It sees niche play, included in only 1.5% of eligible runs.

Within Ironclad runs it’s drafted 6.9% of the time, making it a regular part of that class’s decks. Decks that include it run about 1.1 copies on average.

Its standout pairing so far is Mad Science, which lifts its win rate by +31.4% when the two share a deck. On the relic side, Centennial Puzzle is its standout companion, worth a +27.0% win-rate swing alongside it. It costs 1 energy, gets upgraded 24.6% of the time, and tends to be picked up near floor 14.

Its most common run-ender is Kaiser Crab Boss, finishing 6.9% of the runs it shows up in.

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.
