Ironclad Cards Ranked

A full sweep of Ironclad's 90 cards in Slay the Spire 2. The top tier is built around three winning plans: Corruption and Feel No Pain turn Exhaust into free Skills and Block, Barricade keeps Block between turns, and Demon Form keeps adding Strength. Fiend Fire, Offering, Impervious and Feed round out the cards that most often decide a run.

Ironclad Attacks Ranked

Ironclad's attacks split between burst and scaling. Fiend Fire turns a full hand into one huge hit, Bludgeon brings raw damage for three energy, Whirlwind scales with X energy, and Uppercut adds Weak and Vulnerable so the rest of the deck stays safe. Basic Strike lands at the bottom for a reason.

Ironclad Skills Ranked

Skills carry Ironclad's defense and card flow. Offering trades HP for energy and cards, Impervious blocks 30, Flame Barrier punishes attackers, and Shrug It Off keeps the deck moving. Corruption changes the math entirely by making Skills cost zero, which is why it sits at the top.

Ironclad Powers Ranked

Powers are where Ironclad's long-game plans live. Demon Form adds Strength every turn, Barricade preserves Block, Feel No Pain turns Exhaust into Block, and Dark Embrace draws off every Exhaust. Juggernaut and Rupture support slower builds that win after the first few turns.
