About STS2 Calculator

Last updated: March 28, 2026

STS2 Calculator is an independent fan-made website for Slay the Spire 2 players who want cleaner planning tools, faster lookups, and practical strategy pages during Early Access.

The Site is operated through shwuhen@gmail.com. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the game's developers, publisher, or Steam.

What the site publishes

  • interactive calculators and planners for combat, deck-building, blessings, routes, and co-op decisions;
  • searchable card, relic, and enemy reference pages with structured filters;
  • supporting strategy notes that explain why a number or recommendation matters.

The goal is simple: help players move from raw game text to an actual decision faster than they could on a flat data dump or a patch-note thread.

How pages are maintained

Calculator logic, filtering behavior, and most site copy are written specifically for this Site. Reference pages combine public game material, manual testing, structured data work, and editorial notes so that lookup pages can hand off cleanly to a deeper decision page when needed.

Because Slay the Spire 2 is still changing, some values and recommendations can go stale after a patch. When that happens, pages are revised, narrowed, or corrected instead of being left to drift quietly.

Who built this and why

I started playing Slay the Spire during early access in 2018 and logged well over a thousand hours before the sequel was announced. When Slay the Spire 2 entered early access, I found myself doing the same mental math on every Doom stack, campfire, and event choice that I had done in the original — except the numbers had changed and no reliable reference existed yet. That gap is why this site exists.

I built STS2 Calculator to solve real mid-run decision problems rather than to produce another data dump. Every tool on the site started from a question I was actually asking during a run: does this Doom line execute before the boss hits me again, does smithing this card change the next elite more than resting does, is this event reward positive given how little gold I have left. The tools are narrow by design because narrow tools answer real questions faster than broad ones that try to model everything and end up honest about nothing.

Monetization and ads

Advertising does not change calculator output, database facts, or strategy recommendations, and it does not imply endorsement of the advertised product or service.
