This Slay the Spire 2 guide explains why you should NOT skip elites and how elite fights improve your runs. If you're struggling with pathing, relic scaling, or winning runs in STS2, this guide will fix your biggest mistake. Most players skip elites in Slay the Spire 2 and it’s one of the biggest reasons their runs fall apart. In this video, I break down why skipping elites is ruining your runs, when you should be fighting them, and how to approach elite pathing the right way. We even had a full debate about this live on stream, so I’m showing that discussion first before diving deeper into the strategy. If you’ve ever struggled with pathing, scaling, or just feel like your runs never get strong enough, this is probably why. - Why elites are essential for scaling - When you should (and shouldn’t) fight elites - How elite pathing actually wins runs - The biggest mistake players make on the map If this helped, make sure to subscribe for more Slay the Spire 2 guides, tips, and runs.
