Slay the Spire 2 Tinker Time Event Guide: Best Choices
Events in Slay the Spire 2 sometimes give relics, gold, or random cards. The Tinker Time event works differently. Instead of a fixed reward, it lets you build a custom card step by step and add it to your deck.
Because the event has multiple stages, the choices can look confusing at first. Once you understand the structure, it becomes one of the more flexible events you can encounter.
What The Tinker Time Event Does
Tinker Time lets you create a custom card by choosing its type and its effect, then adds that card to your deck.
The event starts with a scientist asking you to test a new device. If you accept, the event walks you through several choices to build the card.
Step 1: Accept The Experiment
The first choice simply asks if you want to test the device.
Accepting begins the process of creating a custom card.
Step 2: Choose The Card Type
After accepting, you choose what kind of card will be created.
Options shown in the event include
Gadget, create a Power card
Protector, create a Skill card
This determines the card category that will be generated.
Step 3: Choose What The Card Does
The event then asks what effect the card should have.
Examples shown in the event include
Chaos, add a random card into your hand and it costs 0 this turn
Energized, gain energy
Once you pick the effect, the game generates the finished card and adds it to your deck.
How To Choose The Best Option
Since the event lets you design a card, the best choice depends on your current deck.
Things to consider
if your deck lacks energy, Energized can help smooth turns
if your deck benefits from extra card generation, Chaos may add flexibility
if your deck already has strong scaling, a Power card from Gadget may provide more long term value
if you need utility or stability, a Skill from Protector can be safer
The event is most valuable when you pick options that reinforce what your deck already does well.
Final Blurb
Tinker Time is a unique event because it lets you create a custom card instead of receiving a fixed reward. By choosing both the card type and its effect, you can shape a card that fits your current deck.
Used carefully, this event can add a very useful tool to your run without relying on random card rewards.
