Impatience Skill

Is Impatience good in Slay the Spire 2?

In Slay the Spire 2, Impatience is an uncommon skill from the Colorless card pool. Its effect: If you have no Attacks in your Hand, draw cards. Performance-wise it’s a solid if unspectacular include, rated C tier overall.

Over 97 tracked runs its win rate sits at 31.6%, 17.8% ahead of the 13.8% all-deck baseline. It sees niche play, included in only 0.4% of eligible runs. When it is actually offered players take it 1.9% of the time, and that looks correct: those runs win 44.0% against 28.6% for runs that passed, a +11.0% pick lift over 25 decided runs. Within Regent runs it’s drafted 0.2% 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 Backflip, which lifts its win rate by +13.4% when the two share a deck. On the relic side, War Paint is its standout companion, worth a +27.6% win-rate swing alongside it. It costs 0 energy, gets upgraded 13.8% of the time, and tends to be picked up near floor 18.

Upgrading the card adds +1 Cards to its stat line. Of the runs that drafted it, 30 ended in victory against 65 deaths and 2 abandons. Its most common run-ender is Queen Boss, finishing 5.2% of the runs it shows up in. See the synergies, class split, and threats below for the full picture of where Impatience fits a Colorless deck.

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.
