Lead Paperweight

Lead Paperweight is a Boss relic in Slay the Spire 2 that causes enemies to drop 10 additional Gold upon defeat. This consistent gold bonus applies to every combat encounter, generating significant extra wealth over the course of an entire run.

The 10 extra Gold per fight adds up quickly. In a typical act with 12-15 combats, Lead Paperweight generates 120-150 additional Gold, which is enough for a card removal, a potion, or a significant contribution toward a Shop relic purchase. Over a full run, the total bonus can exceed 400 Gold, providing substantial purchasing power.

Lead Paperweight is strongest when paired with other Gold-related relics and effects. It synergizes well with Miniature Tent for even more Gold generation, and the extra income makes Membership Card's card-buying strategy more sustainable. The relic loses value in runs with few remaining Shops to spend the Gold, but in most circumstances, the steady income stream provides meaningful strategic flexibility. As a Boss relic, it competes with more combat-focused options, so consider whether your deck needs Gold more than raw power.
