Paper Phrog

Ironclad Uncommon vulnerable
What it does

Enemies with Vulnerable take 75% more damage rather than 50%.

Quick read

Paper Phrog is a situational relic whose value depends on whether your current build can actually convert its effect into fight-winning tempo, scaling, or consistency.

Best for who

Best for players whose current deck already benefits from vulnerable, or who need this relic to make a draft direction feel more coherent.

Common evaluation mistake

Treating Paper Phrog as generic value instead of asking whether your current build can actually convert it into tempo, scaling, survivability, or consistency.

Why this relic matters

In Slay the Spire 2 Early Access, relics are often more important than they look because they do not just add raw stats — they can reinforce a draft direction, fix weak openings, or turn a shaky build into a real plan.

That means the right question is usually not “is this relic strong?” but “does this relic make my current build stronger, smoother, or more reliable?” Pages like this are meant to answer that second question.

How should I judge relics in Early Access?
