The Widow
The Widow is a transhuman cyborg from a distant (or perhaps not-so-distant) dystopian future. Half machine and half venomous spider, the Widow debilitates her enemies with a large suite of debuffs while powering herself up with her infinitely upgradeable cards.
The Widow is a fully featured character, with a full set of unique cards, relics, and potions. Her mechanics are meant to be very in-line with the basegame characters, without any game-defining new abilities or complete system overhauls. If you know how to play the base game, you can pick up and understand Widow very quickly; but mastering her unique interplay with basegame mechanics to bring out her full power will prove tricky.
!This mod is still a work in progress! Mechanics and cards are subject to change, and much of the art is placeholder. Please feel free to leave feedback in the comments or in the Slay the Spire Discord!
- Upgrades: The Widow has several cards that can upgrade other cards for that combat, like Armaments. Several of her cards benefit from – or even require! – mid-combat upgrades. Additionally, some Widow cards have the Beta keyword, letting them be upgraded an indefinite number of times!
- Debuffs: Widow can fight not just with raw strength but with powerful debuffs. Like Sapped, which reduces enemies’ damage dealt; or she can catch attackers in her Web to set up her next attack.
- Self-debuffs: Some of the Widow’s cards are extremely strong and cost-efficient, but give her Weak, Vulnerable, or Frail. However, she has the ability to cleanse her own debuffs; or even benefit from having them!
- Potions: In addition to Widow-specific potions in the normal drop table, she can also generate new potions from cards, and synergize with potions and potion slots.
