Slay the Spire features several important card types and keywords that define their behavior. Attacks deal damage, Skills provide utility, and Powers grant permanent buffs. Keywords like Exhaust (removes card from combat), Retain (keeps card in hand), Ethereal (exhausts at end of turn), Scry (look at top cards of draw pile), and Innate (plays automatically) are crucial. Understanding these keywords is essential for effective deck building and combat strategy.
