Slay the Spire 2 Lasting Candy Guide
Some relics in Slay the Spire 2 change how rewards appear after fights. Lasting Candy is one of those relics, and it can look confusing at first because the effect does not trigger every combat.
What Lasting Candy Does In Slay the Spire 2
Lasting Candy adds an extra Power card to card rewards every other combat.
This means the relic activates on alternating fights. When it triggers, the card reward screen includes an additional Power card option alongside the normal reward cards.
On fights where it does not trigger, rewards appear normally without the extra Power card.
How Lasting Candy Works During Runs
The relic works on a simple alternating pattern.
Combat 1, normal rewards
Combat 2, rewards include an additional Power card
Combat 3, normal rewards
Combat 4, rewards include an additional Power card
This pattern continues for the rest of the run after you pick up the relic.
The effect only changes the card reward screen. It does not affect relic rewards, gold, or other post combat rewards.
Why Lasting Candy Can Seem Bugged
Some players report situations where rewards appear missing after taking Lasting Candy, especially in multiplayer runs.
In those cases the reward screen may fail to display properly, which can make it look like the relic removed rewards entirely. Other players have reported the relic working normally and showing the extra Power card as expected.
Because Slay the Spire 2 is currently in Early Access, occasional issues with reward screens can still happen.
When Lasting Candy Is Worth Taking
Lasting Candy works best in decks that benefit from Power cards.
Extra Power options can make it easier to build scaling decks that rely on long term effects. The relic does not help much for decks focused entirely on direct attacks or quick fights.
It is also worth remembering that the effect only appears every other combat, so the value builds slowly over the course of a run.
Final Blurb
Lasting Candy is a relic that modifies card rewards rather than combat itself. Every other combat it adds an extra Power card to the reward screen, giving you more chances to build a deck around Powers. Some players have reported reward screen issues in multiplayer runs, but the intended effect is simply to provide additional Power card options during a run.
