Slay the Spire 2 Relic Tier List
This Slay the Spire 2 relics tier list places 288 relics for September 2026, from S-tier down to F-tier. Placement combines win rate, pick rate and how much match data sits behind each result, so it is not a straight win-rate sort — an entry with a high win rate over few games ranks below a steadier one. The S-tier — the 43 strongest relics right now — features History Course (84.9%), Sword of Jade (72.6%), Crossbow (69.1%), Beautiful Bracelet (68.1%), and Jewelry Box (66.7%). History Course posts the single highest win rate at 84.9%. For players hunting an edge, Vitruvian Minion is the most underrated pick this patch — S-tier results at only a 0.1% pick rate — while Ring of the Snake looks overrated, popular at 24.2% but landing in F-tier. Rankings update daily from real ranked matches, so every placement reflects current performance rather than a one-off result. Use the tiers below to pick the best relics for your games.
