Slay the Spire 2 Knockdown Guide
Knockdown is a rare attack in Slay the Spire 2 that focuses on team damage rather than personal damage. The card itself does not deal huge numbers, but its effect dramatically increases how much damage other players can deal during the same turn. Because of this, the card is strongest in multiplayer runs.
In cooperative games, timing Knockdown correctly can lead to extremely large burst turns. One player sets up the debuff, and the rest of the team unloads their attacks while the damage multiplier is active.
What Knockdown Does
Knockdown causes the enemy to take double damage from other players for the rest of the turn.
The card deals a small amount of damage on its own, but the real power comes from the team wide damage boost.

Why Knockdown Is Powerful In Co Op
Knockdown is designed around multiplayer synergy. When one player applies the effect, every other player attacking that target deals significantly more damage.
This can turn normal attacks into huge burst damage.
Strong team situations include
Turns where teammates have multiple attacks ready
Boss fights where burst damage matters
Coordinated turns with strong damage cards
Used at the right time, the card can help eliminate enemies extremely quickly.
When To Play Knockdown
Timing matters more than raw damage with this card. Playing it too early can waste the damage multiplier if teammates are not ready to attack.
The best moment is when other players still have strong attacks available.
Good moments to play it
Before teammates attack
During coordinated burst turns
Against bosses or elite enemies
The goal is to maximize the amount of damage your team deals while the effect is active.
Why The Upgrade Is Excellent
Upgrading Knockdown increases the damage multiplier from double to triple for other players. This dramatically increases the total damage your team can deal during the turn.
Benefits of upgrading
Much higher team damage
Stronger boss burst turns
Better value in multiplayer runs
Because the effect multiplies other attacks, the upgrade scales extremely well.
Final Blurb
Knockdown is a team focused attack that shines in cooperative runs of Slay the Spire 2. While the card itself deals modest damage, the debuff allows teammates to hit much harder during the same turn.
When used with good timing and strong team coordination, Knockdown can create huge burst damage that quickly ends difficult fights.
