Slay the Spire 2 Necrobinder Relic Tier List
This Slay the Spire 2 relics tier list places 234 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 35 strongest relics right now — features History Course (88.9%), Iron Club (83.3%), Beautiful Bracelet (80.0%), Sword of Jade (73.1%), and Mystic Lighter (69.2%). History Course posts the single highest win rate at 88.9%. For players hunting an edge, Beautiful Bracelet is the most underrated pick this patch — S-tier results at only a 0.5% pick rate — while Bound Phylactery looks overrated, popular at 95.2% 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.
