Slay the Spire 2 Wraith Form Explained

Wraith Form is one of the strongest defensive tools available to the Silent in Slay the Spire 2. The card offers incredible protection for a short time, but it also comes with a serious downside that can punish poor timing.

Understanding exactly how Wraith Form works helps you decide when to play it and how to get the most value from its effect.

How Wraith Form Works In Slay the Spire 2

Wraith Form gives you Intangible for several turns, reducing almost all incoming damage to 1, but you lose 1 Dexterity at the start of each turn.

The card costs 3 Energy and provides the following effect

• Gain 2 Intangible

• At the start of your turn, lose 1 Dexterity

The upgraded version improves the effect

• Gain 3 Intangible

• At the start of your turn, lose 1 Dexterity

Intangible dramatically reduces damage from attacks, traps, and many enemy abilities.

What Intangible Does

Intangible is a powerful defensive status.

When you have Intangible

• any incoming damage is reduced to 1

• large attacks become almost harmless

• multi hit attacks still deal small damage per hit

This makes Wraith Form extremely strong during turns when enemies are preparing heavy attacks.

The Dexterity Penalty

The downside of Wraith Form is the Dexterity loss.

Each turn you lose 1 Dexterity, which reduces how much Block your cards generate. If the fight continues after Intangible ends, your defensive cards will be weaker than normal.

Because of this, Wraith Form works best when used to survive dangerous turns or to finish a fight quickly.

Best Times To Use Wraith Form

Timing is important when playing Wraith Form.

Situations where the card is strongest

• boss turns with extremely high damage

• elite encounters with large burst attacks

• turns where enemies attack multiple times

The goal is to survive the dangerous phase of a fight while setting up your finishing damage.

Why Wraith Form Is So Strong

Even with the Dexterity penalty, Intangible can prevent enormous amounts of damage. Reducing a 40 damage attack to 1 damage can completely change the outcome of a fight.

Because the effect lasts multiple turns, Wraith Form often creates a window where you can attack freely while ignoring enemy damage.

Enemies tend to dislike that strategy quite a bit.

Final Blurb

Wraith Form gives the Silent temporary near immunity to damage through Intangible, but the Dexterity loss means the protection comes at a cost. Used at the right moment, the card can completely shut down dangerous enemy turns.

With proper timing, Wraith Form becomes one of the most powerful defensive options available.
