The Construct

Adds a new character for Slay The Spire, complete with 75 new cards and 8 new relics.

• On reaching the first unlock level, you'll unlock an alternate starting relic in the "Mods" tab of the game's main menu.
• Right now all cards and relics are unlocked at the start, so subsequent unlocks don't do anything.

The Construct is a mix of the many robotic enemies you'll find in the Spire, and uses familiar abilities like Mode Shift, Stasis, and of course the Hyper Beam. Its main strength is adaptability; the new Cycle keyword gives you some control over the composition of your hand at any given time, and your starter Mode Shift cards allow you to switch between attack and defense on the fly.

This character is meant to feel as close to an official character as possible, with multiple potential deck archetypes and rewarding interactions between cards. Balance is an ongoing process and cards/relics may change over time.

Card List

New Keyword: Cycle

Definition: When drawn, discard this and draw another card if the cycle condition is met. Only works once per card per turn. Examples:

• Flak Barrage: Cycle if your Strength < 1. Deal 0 damage to a random enemy 3 times.
• Isolate: Cycle if there's more than one enemy. Your attacks deal double damage this turn.
• Guard Orb: Cycle. When cycled, gain 2 Block.

6. Move BaseMod.jar into the mods folder you created in step 4
7. Download ConstructMod.jar from the latest release (https://github.com/Moocowsgomoo/StS-ConstructMod/releases)
8. Move ConstructMod.jar into the mods folder you created in step 4
9. Your modded version of Slay The Spire can now be launched by double-clicking on ModTheSpire.jar
10. This will open a mod select menu where you need to make sure that both BaseMod and ConstructMod are checked before clicking play
