What is Calculated Gamble?
Replaces the hand by discarding and drawing, enabling large discard turns.
This reference covers gameplay decisions in the original Slay the Spire. Character-specific options and relic synergy can change how useful an item is, so consider your current deck, health, upcoming enemy and available resources before applying a strategy.
When and how to use it
Use to find lethal or critical defense, especially with discard relics and powers.
What to avoid
Do not recycle a hand that already contains your necessary defense.
