Use This When

When This Section Should Be Your Next Click

A section page should not feel like a bare list. It should explain what problem this content cluster solves, which page to start with, and where to go next.

Back to Hub Slay the Spire 2

If you are still unsure which content cluster you need, return to the game hub for the full section map and fixed navigation.

Neighbor Hub Starter Route

Clarify the first run, first act, first removals, and first branch choices before the deck snowballs.

Neighbor Hub Character and Class Lab

Break down class identity, opening feel, and co-op roles without assuming first-game habits still transfer cleanly.

Neighbor Hub Deckbuilding Core

Handle draw, energy, defense, and win condition first instead of stuffing early decks with greed.

Keep Going

Do Not Browse Chronologically, Browse By Task

A section page should route readers by task: route, boss, build, map, cleanup, or video, not by a flat chronological list.

Switch Hub Jump To A Neighbor Hub When This Section Is The Wrong Lane

Clarify the first run, first act, first removals, and first branch choices before the deck snowballs.

Back To Hub Return To The Game Hub When You Still Need To Pick The Right Content Lane

The game hub breaks routes, systems, maps, cleanup, and video into separate lanes.

Main Hub Use The Main Hub For Daily Updates Or A Different Game Site

The main hub continues the routing into fresh updates, priority sites, and video entrances.

Section Focus

Returners, difficulty climbs, and consistent wins should not be treated as the same problem.

Recommended Order

Order	Page	Problem It Solves
1	First Difficulty Climb Is Not a Speedrun	stabilize path reading and removals before forcing high-risk lines
2	Returner Ego Pathing	old confidence often causes early elite greed and bad pathing
3	Difficulty Upgrade Checklist	check win line, margin, and live weaknesses before climbing
4	Stuck on One Act During a Climb	do not blame the boss before reviewing how the act shaped the deck
5	High-Risk Map Reset Rule	decide whether to reroute or simply accept a slower pace
6	Co-op Difficulty Mismatch	do not turn co-op into one player practicing while the other carries results
7	When a Patch Shifts Difficulty Feel	review loop and map incentives before assuming only numbers changed

How To Use This Hub

Map the live question to the first two or three pages in this cluster, then keep drilling inside the same topic before jumping elsewhere; use the video page only when motion or timing needs confirmation.

Best Next Clicks

Finish the first two or three pages in this hub before jumping to a different topic cluster.
If movement, timing, or route reading still feels fuzzy, pair this with the matching video page.
