Slay the Spire 2 Nutritious Soup Guide
Some relics in Slay the Spire 2 immediately change cards in your deck when you pick them up. Nutritious Soup is one of those relics. Instead of giving a permanent stat bonus or combat effect, it upgrades a group of cards in a unique way.
What Nutritious Soup Does In Slay the Spire 2
Nutritious Soup enchants all Strike cards in your deck with Tezcatara's Ember when you pick up the relic.
This effect happens instantly. Every Strike currently in your deck receives the enchantment as soon as the relic is obtained.
The relic does not affect cards added later unless they are already enchanted through other effects.
How Tezcatara's Ember Works
Tezcatara's Ember is an enchantment applied directly to the card.
Instead of changing the Strike itself, the enchantment adds an extra effect when that Strike is played. This turns basic Strike cards into slightly stronger attack options during combat.
Because the enchantment is applied to every Strike you already own, the relic becomes stronger the earlier you obtain it.
When Nutritious Soup Is Most Useful
Nutritious Soup works best early in a run.
At the beginning of a run most decks still contain several Strike cards. Enchanting all of them at once can give a noticeable boost to your early damage.
Later in the game many players remove Strike cards from their deck, which reduces the value of the relic.
Things To Keep In Mind
There are a few important details about how the relic works.
The effect only applies when the relic is picked up
Only Strike cards currently in your deck are enchanted
Removing Strikes later removes the benefit from those cards
Because many players remove Strike cards during a run, the relic tends to be strongest in early acts.
Is Nutritious Soup Worth Taking
Nutritious Soup can be a decent early relic, but its value drops later in a run. The relic only improves Strike cards, and most decks eventually remove Strikes as they build stronger synergies.
If you find it early, it can give your basic attacks a small boost and help clear early fights faster. That extra value disappears once your deck replaces Strikes with better cards.
In most runs it is fine to take early, but it is rarely a relic you build around for the entire run.
Final Blurb
Nutritious Soup upgrades every Strike in your deck by enchanting them with Tezcatara's Ember when the relic is picked up. The effect applies immediately and can strengthen early combat damage while your deck still contains multiple Strikes. Its value depends heavily on how many Strike cards remain in your deck during the run.
