Why the classes hub matters
The classes hub is one of the strongest evergreen routes on the whole site. It answers a broad search intent that keeps showing up long after launch-week facts stop dominating, especially for users searching for Slay the Spire 2 classes, characters, or the best class to start with.
That makes the page more than a roster list. It should help users answer three different questions quickly:
- who is playable right now
- which classes are returning or new
- where to click next for rankings, builds, and class detail pages
What this page should confirm first
The safest anchor for this hub is the official Early Access launch roster. At the moment, that gives the page five confirmed classes: Ironclad, Silent, Defect, Regent, and Necrobinder.
That is enough to make the hub useful immediately, even before every deeper guide page exists. A good classes page should then hand users into the right next route: a dedicated Ironclad guide, Silent guide, Defect guide, Regent guide, Necrobinder guide, or the current tier list.
How this cluster should route users
Broad class intent often splits into three nearby needs:
- some users want the class detail page for a specific character
- some want a fast recommendation through the tier list
- some are already looking for starter build ideas
The hub should support all three without collapsing them into one page. That is why this route should stay tightly connected to the builds hub, the mechanics hub, and the first class detail pages instead of trying to answer every comparison on one screen.
What to avoid on this page
The classes hub should not act like deep build coverage and long-term matchup knowledge already exist for every character. It should stay clean: confirm the roster, explain the role of each class at a high level, and route users into the right child pages.
