STS2 Weekly Meta Report: v0.107.0 (June 2 — June 8, 2026)

Welcome to the STS2Guides Weekly Meta Report. This week's headline: v0.107.0 beta dropped on June 4 — a "stability-first" patch with 5 card buffs, an Aeonglass rework, and 20+ bug fixes. Necrobinder got two buffs (Sic 'Em, The Scythe), Regent got a mixed bag (Monarch's Gaze buff, Reflect nerf), and Aeonglass lost Ebb debuff entirely — a major change for Act 3 boss routing. STS2 Speedrun Marathon (June 7) saw sub-8-minute A0 clears. Next up: Mega Crit Developer Stream on June 10.

Character Win Rates (A20, Community Aggregated Data — Week 24)

Biggest Meta Shifts This Week

1. Aeonglass Loses Ebb — Act 3 Just Got Easier

The single biggest v0.107.0 change: Aeonglass no longer applies Ebb (-1 Strength / -1 Temp HP). For Ironclad Strength builds and Silent Shiv spam, this is a huge buff — they no longer lose scaling every turn. Aeonglass now gains Block on its Ebb action instead, which is less punishing. Overall Act 3 boss difficulty dropped ~15%.

Community sentiment: "Aeonglass is now fair" — top Reddit post with 920 upvotes. Crystal Armor still strong, but the Ebb removal makes the fight feel beatable for all builds.

2. Regent Energy Problem Partially Solved

Monarch's Gaze dropping from 3→2 cost is deceptively huge. At 2 energy, it now competes directly with premium Regent picks and slots naturally into early-game curves. Combined with the existing Parry buff from v0.106, Regent is finally breaking out of the 8% WR basement. The Reflect nerf (16→15 block) is negligible.

3. Necrobinder Double-Buffed, Doom Still Untouched

Sic 'Em (2→3 summons) and The Scythe (3→4 dmg) are both nice, but neither changes Necrobinder's core identity. The real story: Doom Execute survived another patch. At 22.8% A20 WR, Necrobinder widens its lead. Community increasingly expects a Doom nerf in v0.108.0.

4. Speedrun Marathon Proves Ironclad Speed

The June 7 community event saw A0 Ironclad clears under 8 minutes — fastest of any character. Exhaust Engine's linear scaling makes it the speedrun king. Necrobinder won the most categories overall (A0, A10, A20) but was consistently slower per-run.

Card Tier List Movers (v0.107.0 Beta)

This Week's Biggest Story: v0.107.0 Drops — Stability Over Balance

On June 4, Mega Crit released v0.107.0 beta — deliberately smaller than previous patches. The stated goal: "lay the groundwork for moving the beta branch to main." Key highlights:

• 5 card changes: Juggernaut (+1 dmg), Monarch's Gaze (-1 cost), Reflect (-1 block), Sic 'Em (+1 summon), The Scythe (+1 dmg). No nerfs to any meta-dominant cards.
• Aeonglass rework: Ebb debuff removed entirely — now gains Block on its Ebb action. This is a net nerf to the boss, making Act 3 easier for all characters.
• The Boot buff: Now applies to Osty attacks — a small but flavorful change for a previously meme-tier relic.
• 20+ bug fixes: Steam Cloud overwrite, Aeonglass Wither exploit, Spectral Knight Ethereal loss, Pantograph+Red Skull interaction, co-op desync, mod corruption — all fixed.
• Art additions: Defect charge animation, Epoch art for Devastation/The 12/The Giant, Soul Nexus VFX.

Devour the Tower Tournament Recap (May 25)

The first major STS2 community tournament concluded on May 25, hosted by FrostPrime and Otzdarva with 34 streamers competing. Key takeaways:

• Winning strategy: Necrobinder Doom Execute took 6 of the top 10 finishes — concrete proof of its A20 dominance.
• Defect resurgence: Frost Wall + Buffer builds placed 2nd and 4th, exploiting Aeonglass's Phase 2 vulnerability.
• Regent upset: One top-8 finish with a Parry + Starfall hybrid — showing the character has untapped potential despite the 8.4% average win rate.
• Silent disappointment: No Silent decks made top 8, confirming that post-Shatter nerf, the character lacks a dominant build.
• Community stats: Tournament had 120K+ concurrent Twitch viewers across all streams — STS2's biggest streaming event since launch week.

Reddit Hot Takes This Week

• "Aeonglass is finally fair" — 920 upvotes. Ebb removal makes the Act 3 boss beatable for all builds, not just Frost Wall Defect.
• "v0.107.0 is a nothingburger — and that's fine" — 780 upvotes. Community accepts stability patches as necessary, even if they want balance changes.
• "Monarch's Gaze at 2-cost is a Regent game-changer" — 650 upvotes. Players testing new Regent curves with the buffed card.
• "Doom survived AGAIN" — 610 upvotes. Necrobinder mains breathe a sigh of relief; everyone else groans.
• "Speedrun Marathon proves Ironclad is king of speed" — 540 upvotes. Sub-8-min A0 clears spark debate about speedrun tiers.
• "Where's the Silent buff?" — 490 upvotes. Two patches in a row with no Silent changes has the community restless.

Official Stats: STS2 by the Numbers (Neowsletter #24)

Mega Crit's June 2026 community update reveals continued Early Access growth:

v0.107.0: What Changed & What Didn't

• Juggernaut buff (5→6): Nice, but not meta-defining. Ironclad Exhaust still needs Block scaling, not 1 extra damage on a niche card.
• Monarch's Gaze buff (3→2 cost): Actually significant — at 2 energy it competes with premium Regent picks. Could push Regent win rate up 1-2%.
• Reflect nerf (16→15 block): Minor. Still S-tier block card for Regent.
• Necrobinder Sic 'Em + The Scythe buffs: Both minor stat bumps. Doom Execute remains the real power build — and it wasn't touched.
• Aeonglass loses Ebb: The biggest change. No more -1 Strength/Temporary HP debuff. Act 3 boss is now noticeably easier, especially for Strength-scaling builds.

Event Calendar

• June 4: ✅ v0.107.0 beta released — stability patch with 5 card changes + Aeonglass rework.
• June 7: ✅ STS2 Speedrun Marathon — community saw sub-8-minute A0 Ironclad clears.

• June 18: Predicted v0.108.0 beta (bi-weekly from v0.107.0 on Jun 4).
• June 11-18: Watch window for v0.107.0 beta→main merge (if stable).
