Slay the Spire 2 Orobas Relic Priority — Best Pick From Each Pool

Published 2026-05-09Updated 2026-09-195 min read

What to take from Orobas in Slay the Spire 2: Glass Eye for missing engines, Driftwood for drafts, Touch of Orobas for starter-relic decks, Radiant Pearl for energy, Alchemical Coffer for potions.

Meeting Orobas with a fully unlocked rotation is a treasure wall: three pools, one pick each, all upside. The right choice depends entirely on what your deck is missing. Here is the priority order that has held up across runs.

Choosing rewards in Slay the Spire 2
Three pools, no drawbacks, one decision each.

Tier one — take on sight

  • Glass Eye — obtain 2 Common, 2 Uncommon and 1 Rare card on pickup. If your deck hasn't found its engine, this is the single fastest fix in the game: five cards of targeted density, no deck slots wasted on maybes.
  • Radiant Pearl — at the start of each combat, add 1 Luminesce (the 0-cost, 2-energy spell) to your hand. Free opening-burst every fight, forever; energy-starved decks — the Silent especially — climb a tier the moment this lands.
  • Driftwood — reroll each card reward once. For decks hunting a specific rare, this converts "maybe" rewards into a search bar, fight after fight.

Tier two — build-dependent

  • Touch of Orobas — replaces your starter relic with its Ancient version. Spectacular on classes whose starter relic IS the build (Ironclad's healing, the Necrobinder's summon engine); merely nice elsewhere.
  • Alchemical Coffer — 4 potion slots, pre-filled. Potion-centric plans and elite-rush routes get real value; passive decks can pass.
  • Sea Glass — view 15 cards from another character and add any number. The patch-a-hole pick: one targeted cross-class card fixes many decks' fatal matchup.

The decision tree

  1. Deck has no engine yet? Glass Eye.
  2. Engine works but the deck runs out of gas? Radiant Pearl.
  3. Deck is one card from done? Driftwood.
  4. Starter relic is central to the plan? Touch of Orobas.
  5. Elite-heavy route planned? Alchemical Coffer.
  6. One specific card would fix everything? Sea Glass.

A note on timing

Orobas appears at the start of Act 2 — the moment your deck's shape is knowable. Spend the last few fights of Act 1 asking the only question that matters for this choice: what exactly is my deck missing? The pool that answers that question is the pool to pick.
