Slay the Spire 2 Silent character guide - strategy, builds, and tier list

How do you play The Silent in Slay the Spire 2? Originally from the Foglands, a region haunted by tormented souls, The Silent hunted down the cursed entity plaguing the land and now wears its skull as a trophy. After ascending the Spire and defeating The Heart, she brought a piece of it to her sisters, but her trophy ended up poisoning her. The Silent heads back to the Spire upon its reopening, searching for a cure.
The Silent brings her assassination talents back to the card game, and like the rest of the returning Slay the Spire 2 characters, she comes packing a refreshed arsenal of tools to murder her targets. If you plan on unlocking all the Ascension levels, the new Sly mechanic makes it easy to cheat out high-cost cards, giving you an easy run to quickly ascend the Spire.
