Is Hologram good in Slay the Spire 2?

In Slay the Spire 2, Hologram is a common skill from the Defect card pool. Its effect: Gain 3 Block. Put a card from your Discard Pile into your Hand. The data flags it as a weaker pick, settling at D tier — usually one to pass on unless your deck specifically wants it.

Over 405 tracked runs its win rate sits at 24.2%, 10.0% ahead of the 14.2% all-deck baseline. It sees niche play, included in only 3.9% of eligible runs. When it is actually offered players take it 23.5% of the time, and that looks correct: those runs win 26.0% against 14.5% for runs that passed, a +11.2% pick lift over 338 decided runs. Within Defect runs it’s drafted 26.3% of the time, making it a regular part of that class’s decks. Decks that include it run about 1.3 copies on average.

Its standout pairing so far is Supercritical, which lifts its win rate by +25.7% when the two share a deck. On the relic side, Data Disk is its standout companion, worth a +30.3% win-rate swing alongside it. It costs 1 energy, gets upgraded 34.0% of the time, and tends to be picked up near floor 15.

Upgrading the card adds +2 Block to its stat line. Of the runs that drafted it, 97 ended in victory against 304 deaths and 4 abandons. Its most common run-ender is Queen Boss, finishing 6.9% of the runs it shows up in. See the synergies, class split, and threats below for the full picture of where Hologram fits a Defect deck.

Pick or Skip: Hologram

Players take Hologram in 23.5% of the 1724 offers it appears in; those runs win 26.0% against 14.5% for runs that passed, a pick lift of +11.2% over 338 decided runs.

Taken 405 times out of 1724 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.
