Mega Crit has deployed beta patch v0.113.0 for Slay the Spire 2 on Steam, introducing The Fool as the deckbuilder's sixth playable character. Arriving as the game's first new character since entering early access in March, The Fool is accompanied by two experimental game modes named Blitz and Dread, alongside five new events and targeted card reworks. [1][2]
Described as a silly musician armed with a bow, The Fool begins runs with 77 HP, the unique 1-energy attack card Foolish Shot, and the Song Bow starter relic. The relic grants six aims at combat's start, while fired arrows impale foes and require three subsequent hits or an enemy kill to unlock dependent cards. Meanwhile, Blitz mode removes the map and renders gold useless across five shared Ascension tiers, and Dread mode demands Ascension 10 across all roster members to face empowered bosses and mounting curses.

The additions remain confined to Steam's opt-in public-beta branch for testing. [1][2]
