Mystic

Description

Mystic is the support half of the Centurion & Mystic combo in Act II. It primarily heals both itself and the Centurion, buffs enemy Strength, and occasionally attacks. Healing is triggered when any enemy can still be healed significantly, so opponents must plan to counter that via burst damage or prevent the healing cycle from becoming overwhelming.

Trivia

Mystic cannot heal more than three times in a row; when deciding moves it checks if any enemy can be healed (≥ threshold), else it picks between buff or attack. In Ascension 17+, the heal threshold is higher and certain move repeat constraints are stricter. ([Slay the Spire Wiki]) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
