This reference focuses on ten Ironclad cards listed for Slay the Spire 1: Bash, Clash, Flex, Headbutt, Heavy Blade, Perfected Strike, Shrug It Off, True Grit, Spot Weakness, and Corruption. Their recorded text describes attacks, Block, Strength changes, card retrieval, and Exhaust-related effects. Where the source gives both base and upgraded text, both are included so the listed change is clear. The card list supplies functional descriptions but does not establish comparative effectiveness, acquisition locations, costs, or a recommended deck. Ascension and other progression systems are outside this focused card reference.
If you are looking at Strength interactions, compare Flex’s temporary Strength, Spot Weakness’s intent condition, and Heavy Blade’s stated Strength multiplier.
If you want defensive or hand-management functions, review the Block effects alongside Headbutt’s discard-pile retrieval and Corruption’s Skill and Exhaust text.
A focused reference to ten Ironclad cards and their recorded effects, including listed upgrades and play conditions. Card details come only from the retrieved Slay the Spire 1 card-list passage. This does not attempt a complete card, relic, character-unlock, or Ascension guide.
This is a source-bounded selection of ten Ironclad cards, not a complete card reference or build guide.
The retrieved card-list text does not establish card acquisition locations, costs, comparative effectiveness, or recommended combinations.
The separate retrieved Ascension passage is not used here; Ascension progression details and other progression systems are outside the selected scope.
Explanations prepared with GPT-6 Luna and checked against the linked references. These are source-reviewed guides. They do not establish independently tested optimal builds or exact upgrade budgets. How coverage works.
