Spire Builds exists for players who want concise, searchable strategy notes without digging through long videos or scattered comment threads. These standards keep the site useful, honest, and easy to correct as Early Access balance changes.

1. Advice Must Be Practical

Guides should explain what to do, why it works, and when it fails. If a strategy depends on a narrow relic, card reward, or patch-specific interaction, we say so instead of presenting it as universal advice.

2. Patch Dates Matter

Slay the Spire 2 is in Early Access. What works today might be nerfed next month. Guides include update dates, and pages that rely on patch-sensitive details are revised or clearly softened when we cannot verify them.

3. Corrections Are Public

When readers find errors, we fix them. For meaningful strategy changes, we update the page date and add clarifying language so readers can see that the advice changed.

4. No Content Scraping

We do not copy content from Steam forums, Reddit, Wiki pages, or other guide sites. If we reference community discoveries, we credit the source and add our own testing or context. Duplicate content helps no one.

5. Affiliate and Ad Transparency

We run ads and may use affiliate links to support the site. This never influences what we recommend. If a build is bad, we say it is bad even if the cards are on sale somewhere. Affiliate relationships are disclosed where required by law.

6. Reader Feedback Shapes Content

We read every email and consider every correction. If enough readers say a guide is confusing or wrong, we rewrite it. The best way to reach us is shane768777@gmail.com.
