SpireObscur - Lune (WIP)

Spire Obscure brings characters from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 into Slay the Spire 2. Each character comes with their own cards and mechanics, adapted from how they play in Expedition 33.

There are two playable characters so far:

- Gustave, the engineer of Expedition 33. He charges his prosthetic arm with every hit and chooses the moment to release it.

- Lune (early preview), the scholar and mage. She fills the battlefield with elemental Stains and spends them on big spells.

Both defend with timing: when enemies attack, you can parry or dodge in real time, like in the original game.

More Expedition 33 characters are planned.

Installation instructions

1. Download the file and extract it.

2. Put the SpireObscure folder inside your game's mods folder:

...\steamapps\common\Slay the Spire 2\mods\SpireObscure\

The folder should contain SpireObscure.json, SpireObscure.dll, SpireObscure.pck and an art folder. If there is no mods folder yet, create it.

3. Start the game, open the Mods menu, enable Spire Obscure and restart the game.

4. Gustave now shows up on the character select screen.

Main features

- 57 cards, many of them based on Gustave's skills and Pictos from Expedition 33

- His own starting relic, the Arm Core

Lune (early preview)

- 54 cards, based on Lune's skills and weapons from Expedition 33

- Her own starting relic, Stains

Action Points (AP)

A second resource on top of energy. Card costs are based on the AP costs from Expedition 33.

Parry & Dodge

During the enemy's turn you react to each hit in real time:

- Dodge (G): a wider timing window that avoids the hit.

- Parry (F): a tight timing window that avoids the hit and counterattacks. Parry every hit of an attack to land the full counter.

- On a controller: R1/RB parries and Circle/B dodges.

- You can also click the on-screen buttons below Gustave instead of using the keys.

- Only your first press counts, so spamming the keys doesn't work. A miss only costs you that one hit.

Break Gauge

Fill an enemy's Break Gauge to Break them and leave them open.

Unlock everything (optional)

With mods on, the game uses a separate save, so the timeline starts from zero. To skip that, open %APPDATA%\SlayTheSpire2\SpireObscure_settings.cfg (the mod creates it on first launch), set unlock_all_epochs = true and restart. Your real save is not changed.

Languages: English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Other characters play the normal game. Parry, dodge and Break only apply in fights that include Gustave.

▎ The mod is in active development and the balance is still first-pass. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome!
