Slay the Spire 2 has five different characters available at launch, and they offer you different ways to enjoy the game.
When you start your adventure, you can only select a single character. However, the list of available options can increase pretty quickly. Let's look at all five characters, their in-game stats, and how you can unlock them.

How to unlock all characters in Slay the Spire 2
As I mentioned earlier, there are five characters. The table below shows their names and how you can unlock them.
| Name | How to Unlock |
|---|---|
| The Ironclad | Available from the start. |
| The Silent | Participate in a single run with Ironclad. |
| The Regent | Participate in a single run with Silent. |
| The Necrobinder | Participate in a single run with Regent |
| The Defect | Participate in a single run with Necrobinder |
You can unlock all five characters in as little as five minutes. The method is pretty simple. You begin a run with a character, and then press the Esc button. Choose to Give Up from the menu. While your run ends prematurely, it counts as participation. Hence, you'll unlock the applicable character from your complete (but terrible) run.
