Doors of Light and Dark event art, Slay the Spire 2

Doors of Light and Dark

A doorway existed where none existed moments before...

You enter to find two shimmering doorways and a well-dressed doorman.
“Finally, a visitor! Please please! Choose a door, any door!”

Are we still in the Spire? How is this place so clean?
Into the light...

It's blinding!! But the light strengthens you.

You're back in the Underdocks.
How did you? Huh...?
Into the darkness...

You see nothing.
But this helps you think... You shed pointless thoughts.

Which option to take

Light Door

Upgrade2 random cards
  • Light Door once the deck is lean and most of it is still unupgraded, since then almost any pair is a hit.

Dark Door

Our pick
Card removal1 card
  • Dark Door while any Strike, Defend or curse remains: a chosen removal is worth more than two random upgrades that may land on cards you never play.

How it plays

  • Light Door upgrades 2 random upgradable cards from your deck; you get no say in which.
  • If only one card can still be upgraded, only that one is.
  • Dark Door opens your deck and removes 1 card of your choice.
  • Both are free and end the event.
