Silent in Slay the Spire 2

The Silent is a returning character in Slay the Spire 2, and she relies heavily on her deck to win the battles.

While Silent can do incredible stuff in a battle, you'll need to pay a lot of attention to her deck. She has some painful weaknesses that can be hard to navigate for beginners. However, you can shine with her if you set up your deck correctly.

Let's look at how to get the most out of her by bypassing her weakness.

How to use Silent in Slay the Spire 2

By nature, Silent is a rogue who can do damage in different ways. However, her decks are heavily reliant on synergy. If you fill the deck with wrong cards, chances are that you'll struggle with her. She also lacks damage potential during the starting fights, and she also doesn't have any way to heal herself (aside from resting at the camp).

However, she offers a lot of tempo that suits my playstyle well. Moreover, she can also play a lot of cards every turn, which is also something that I love. Lastly, her Sly mechanic (newly added to Slay the Spire 2) is my favorite.

Best Silent deck in Slay the Spire 2

There are many options available when it comes to Silent. However, this is a guide about the best deck, and there's one frontrunner. The Sly mechanic allows you to play a card for free if it gets discarded from your hand in a turn. This mechanic effectively allows you to build a discard deck, and it works amazingly once the setup is ready.

Early commons and uncommons

Card Reason
Flick-Flack This 1 Energy card does 7 damage to all enemies. If you can't Sly it, the card is still a great value.
Untouchable When you Sly this card, you gain 9 Block. This will be the main defensive card in your deck.
Acrobatics For 1 Energy, it fills your hand with three cards and discards 1 (hence, it triggers Sly).
Dagger Throw This 1 Energy card does 9 damage, draws a card, and discards a card. It's the perfect addition to a Sly deck.
Haze Applies 4 Poison to all enemies, but you must Sly it due to its high Energy cost.
Tactician You can Sly this card to get a bonus Energy.
Calculated Gamble You can use this card in panic situations as it activates all your Sly cards by replacing your hand.
Speedster Since you'll draw a lot of cards, having Speedster active will deal 2 damage for every drawn card.

Best cards

Card Reason
Tools of the Trade Allows you to passively draw a card and discard one each turn, which enables you to trigger any Sly if applicable.
Master Planner Every non-Sly skill becomes Sly.
Serpent Form It costs 3 Energy to set up, but it will do 4 damage every time you play a card, which will be quite a lot in a Sly deck.
Reflex Draws two cards when you Sly it.

Best relics for Silent in Slay the Spire 2

The following relics have been chosen keeping a Sly deck in mind.

  • Tingsha: This relic does 3 damage for every card you discard.
  • Tough Bandages: This relic gains 3 Block every time you discard.
  • The Abacus: This relic will give you 6 Block every time you shuffle your deck, which again, will happen quite a lot.

One important note: A good Sly deck has to be extremely thin. The onus is to remove as many strike cards as possible from your deck.

Marathon runner shells fighting and looting

The Command Wing is a specialized area in the Pinwheel Base on Outpost that you might need to visit in Marathon for various reasons.

For starters, you can find some amazing loot unless a runner has already searched it. You might also need to visit the area as part of certain contracts that will provide you with extra rewards. There's plenty to gain in a nutshell, but for that, you have to unlock the area.

How to unlock the Command Wing in Marathon

When you reach the Command Wing for the first time, you'll find that the area is locked. To unlock the area, you'll need to find two access panels. These panels are located on the other wings of the Pinwheel Base. But before that, you'll need to get into the Pinwheel Base to access the Command Wing.

While you can check out our guide for all the methods, I will recommend the Destroyed Wing route. You need to hit four white boxes to erase the barrier that prevents you from entering the Pinwheel Base in the first place, and you'll find one of the required panels here (right at the entrance).

Once you enter through the base floor, hit the marked spot on the image above. You'll find one of the two hidden access panels to your left (on the base of the floor). This is right next to the entrance, so it's the easier one to spot (assuming you enter from the Destroyed Wing).

For the next panel, you need to head right to the end of the Drone Wing section while keeping close to the left wall (take the door that goes left from the Drone Wing entrance).

Ultimately, you'll reach the room in the image above, and the wall extension hides the panel. Interact with the panel, and you'll now have activated both. Return to the entrance of the Command Wing and interact with the door panel to gain access.

     Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is an immensely frightening and cleverly designed horror game, slightly held back by a couple of clunky aspects. Even so, the ingenuity behind the core concept and the freaky aesthetic go a long way in making this a very worthwhile remake. To my great shame, I've never played any […]
