Star Build — Regent Guide — Slay the Spire 2

Build around Stars as a banked resource, using generation, conversion, and payoff cards to cover offense, defense, and burst turns without committing to only one payoff pattern.

Points

Prioritize Star generators that also attack, defend, or draw so the deck still functions before the Star bank is large.
Too many pure generators or too many expensive spenders both create clunky turns, so keep the Star economy balanced.
Cards like Alignment and Convergence are often the bridge between a stocked Star turn and a real payoff turn.
Defensive and debuff spenders matter as much as finishers, because the deck loses tempo if every Star is saved only for damage.

Details

Treat Stars as a banked resource rather than a single combo. Some runs will lean toward conversion with Alignment, some toward repeated triggers with Black Hole, and some toward direct finishers, but the core plan is the same: build Star income without falling behind, then spend it where the current fight demands.

Cards

Main Mechanic Cards that generate or store Stars while still letting the deck advance its board.

Synergy Cards that convert saved Stars into Energy, repeated triggers, or larger payoff turns.

Support Defensive, debuff, and finisher cards that give the Star shell practical combat applications.
