Clone Enchantment Guide

⚠️ Exponential Scaling Mechanic

Clone is one of the most powerful enchantments in Slay the Spire 2, capable of creating 100+ copies of a single card through exponential duplication.

What is Clone?

Clone is an enchantment in Slay the Spire 2 that allows you to duplicate cards at Rest Sites. Unlike normal card duplication, Clone scales exponentially rather than additively.

When you duplicate a card with Clone at a Rest Site, it creates copies of all existing cards with that enchantment in your deck, not just one copy.

How to Get Clone

🐉

Pael the Melting Dragon

Pael is an Ancient that appears at the beginning of Act 2 in Slay the Spire 2.

Choice: "Pael's Growth"

When you interact with Pael, select "Pael's Growth" to enchant a chosen card with the Clone property.

How Clone Works

Step 1: Enchant a Card

Choose a powerful card from your deck to receive the Clone enchantment from Pael.

Step 2: Visit Rest Sites

At each Rest Site, you can choose to duplicate your Clone-enchanted card.

Exponential Growth Example:

  • • Rest Site 1: 1 card → 2 cards
  • • Rest Site 2: 2 cards → 4 cards
  • • Rest Site 3: 4 cards → 8 cards
  • • Rest Site 4: 8 cards → 16 cards
  • • Rest Site 5: 16 cards → 32 cards
  • • Rest Site 6: 32 cards → 64 cards
  • • Rest Site 7: 64 cards → 128 cards

Step 3: Dominate Combats

With 100+ copies of a powerful card, you can defeat bosses in a single turn.
