My favorite option is to take an aggressive approach that focuses on Strength and can lead to some devastating attacks. The Ironclad is a very solid character with good health and a number of different approaches you can take to complete a run. The Ironclad Slay the Spire – The Ironclad That being said, I don’t think that the Silent is one of the best characters in Slay the Spire, and usually opt for another class to play as. Having a few Noxious Fumes, Catalyst, and Crippling Cloud cards in combination with the Snecko Skull or The Specimen can lead to a very fun run.

Her ability to deal progressive Poison damage is one of my favorite things to do when playing as her. There are some things I love about the Silent, though. TIngsha and Tough Bandages are also very average relics if you don’t have the right deck.

The Ring of the Serpent, for example, almost feels like a curse as on turn 1 you draw 1 additional card as opposed to 2 with the Ring of the Snake (please correct me if I have got this wrong!). The Silent has some of the worst relics in the game, too, and I find some of them confusing. Perhaps this is because she has the largest starting deck (12) so there are more possible deck combinations. If you can get your hand on a Wraith Form, then your likelihood of being victorious increases tenfold, but sometimes the cards you are dealt leave you struggling to get halfway through the first floor – this rarely seems to happen with other characters, at least for me. She has a good solid mix of Block, Attack, and Status cards, but is not really that great in any one field. Yet, the more I played, the less progress I felt I could make with her. Don’t get me wrong, the Silent is a strong character and was actually the first class that I completed a run with. This may be a controversial choice for the bottom of rank, as many people love the Silent.
