Mimic Skill

Is Mimic good in Slay the Spire 2?

In Slay the Spire 2, Mimic is a rare skill from the Colorless card pool. Its effect: Gain Block equal to the Block on another player. Right now it’s a premium pick that sits at B tier — one of the better cards you can add to a deck this run.

Over 37 tracked runs its win rate sits at 70.3%, 56.4% ahead of the 13.8% all-deck baseline. It sees niche play, included in only 0.2% of eligible runs. When it is actually offered players take it 4.8% of the time, and that looks correct: those runs win 76.2% against 38.2% for runs that passed, a +25.7% pick lift over 21 decided runs. Within Ironclad runs it’s drafted 0.3% of the time, making it a regular part of that class’s decks. Decks that include it run about 1.0 copies on average.

Its standout pairing so far is Ascender's Bane, which lifts its win rate by -2.2% when the two share a deck. It costs 1 energy, gets upgraded 43.2% of the time, and tends to be picked up near floor 27.

Of the runs that drafted it, 26 ended in victory against 11 deaths and 0 abandons. Its most common run-ender is Queen Boss, finishing 10.8% of the runs it shows up in. See the synergies, class split, and threats below for the full picture of where Mimic 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.
