Previously, the sequel to the popular card game "Slay the Spire 2" was announced to be postponed and will be available for early access in March 2026.But fortunately, the first new character has been officially announced: the Undead Contractor. She is a very stylish lich who relies on a huge undead hand, Osti, to fight.The exclusive card for this character has also been announced, let’s take a look!
Undead Contractor, her abilities are designed around necromancy and can affect the balance between life and death.Osti can attack enemies independently of the Undead Contractor and is unaffected by negative effects targeting her.But as a loyal partner, Osti will also give priority to the damage caused by attacks against the Undead Contractor... Of course, he needs to still have health points to provide.If you want to increase Osti's health or bring him back to life, the Undead Contractor can be summoned.In the game, your strategy may be to increase Osty's health as much as possible to provide stable and long-lasting protection, or to sacrifice him and then constantly resurrect him.
Guard: Summon 5.Osti deals 10 damage.
Boneshatter: If Osti survives, he deals 9 damage to all enemies and you gain 9 Block.Osti dies.
Blight Strike: Causes 8 points of damage.Inflicts a calamity equal to the unblocked damage dealt.
Mental Overload: Gain 3 charges.Draw 2 cards.At the beginning of your turn, apply 3 disaster points to yourself.
Another key ability of the Undead Contractor is calamity, which we have also demonstrated in previous Neo communications.Objects whose calamity value exceeds their health points will die - "Calamity" is a negative effect similar to "Poison", but it does not cause damage and decay every turn, and the triggering time is not at the beginning of the enemy's turn, but at the end of his turn.
Soul: Draw 2 cards.consumption.
Gravekeeper: Gain 8 points in block.Add a soul to your draw pile.
She can also use necromancy to draw power from souls, which is one of her card draw sources.
Carved Strike: Deals 8 points of damage.Add nothingness to a card in your hand.
Reframe: Add a replay to a hand card, its cost +1.consumption.
Transformation and transformation are of course a big part of necromancy, so Necromancer has a number of cards that allow her to alter other cards, such as adding different keywords to them and changing the effects they play.
It is worth noting that in the interview and Q&A following the announcement, the official stated that in "Slay the Spire 2", the SL method of the first generation can still be used, and the Silent Hunter will also have poisoning-related mechanisms.
