Is Reflect good in Slay the Spire 2?

In Slay the Spire 2, Reflect is an uncommon skill from the Regent card pool. Its effect: Gain 17 Block. Blocked attack damage is reflected to your attacker this turn. The data flags it as a weaker pick, settling at D tier — usually one to pass on unless your deck specifically wants it.

Over 362 tracked runs its win rate sits at 23.8%, 9.8% ahead of the 14.0% all-deck baseline. It sees niche play, included in only 3.1% of eligible runs. Offer data argues the other way: taken 48.2% of the time it is shown, runs that picked it win 23.1% against 32.3% for runs that passed — a -8.9% pick lift across 307 decided runs. Within Regent runs it’s drafted 18.1% 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 +27.2% when the two share a deck. On the relic side, War Paint is its standout companion, worth a +26.1% win-rate swing alongside it. It costs 1 energy, gets upgraded 26.1% of the time, and tends to be picked up near floor 16.

Upgrading the card adds +4 Block to its stat line. Of the runs that drafted it, 86 ended in victory against 276 deaths and 0 abandons. Its most common run-ender is Knowledge Demon Boss, finishing 6.6% of the runs it shows up in. See the synergies, class split, and threats below for the full picture of where Reflect fits a Regent deck.

Pick or Skip: Reflect

Taken 340 times out of 706 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.
