Slay the Spire's fourth character is playable in beta right now
After teasing it four several months, MegaCrit has finally announced the fourth character to arrive in its roguelike deck builder – The Watcher.
Currently available to play in the beta build of the game on PC (instructions on how to access that here), The Watcher is described as “a blind ascetic who has come to ‘Evaluate’ the Spire. Master of the divine Stances.”
The new character’s abilities revolve around ‘Miracles’ and ‘Stances’. Miracle cards stay in your hand until they’re used, they cost nothing to play and give you one extra point of energy when used.
Some cards will put The Watcher in a Stance – from the starting cards we know there are at least two of these: Calm, which stores energy to be released when leaving the Stance, and Wrath, an offensive state that doubles attack damage dealt and received.
