Pael's Claw

Pael's Claw is a Boss relic in Slay the Spire 2 that grants 2 Strength at the start of each combat. This is a powerful offensive buff that adds 2 damage to every Attack card you play for the entire fight, significantly boosting your damage output from the very first turn.

Two Strength is double what Vajra provides and represents a serious damage increase. Every Attack card in your deck deals 2 extra damage, and on multi-hit cards, the bonus multiplies with each hit. Over the course of a fight where you play 20-30 Attacks, Pael's Claw adds 40-60 extra damage, making it one of the most impactful passive damage boosts available.

Pael's Claw is part of the Pael's relic series and is especially powerful in Attack-heavy builds that play many Attacks per turn. It synergizes with Limit Break, which doubles your Strength, and with multi-hit Attacks like Pummel and Sword Boomerang. The relic pairs well with Vajra for 3 total starting Strength, creating an overwhelming offensive advantage from turn 1. Pael's Claw is one of the strongest offensive Pael's relics and a top-tier pickup for any damage-focused build.
