Slay the Spire 2 Ironclad Relic Tier List
This Slay the Spire 2 relics tier list places 249 relics for October 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 37 strongest relics right now — features History Course (85.7%), Sai (67.9%), Fiddle (64.3%), Tanx's Whistle (64.0%), and Preserved Fog (64.0%). History Course posts the single highest win rate at 85.7%. For players hunting an edge, Fiddle is the most underrated pick this patch — S-tier results at only a 0.4% pick rate — while Burning Blood looks overrated, popular at 96.9% 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.
