Act 1 (Exordium)
The Exordium, the opening act of every climb.
Act 1, also called the Exordium, is the first of Slay the Spire's three default acts and covers floors 1 to 17. Every run starts with a conversation with Neow, and the enemies here are simple, introducing the basic buffs and debuffs. Floor 1 is always a monster fight, floor 9 a Treasure Room, floor 15 a Rest Site, and floors 16 and 17 the boss and its chest.
Background
Card rewards in this act are never upgraded unless you hold one of the Egg relics. Events found only here include Big Fish, Dead Adventurer, Golden Idol, Living Wall and The Cleric, and they mostly cost HP rather than carrying heavy penalties.
