Slay the Spire tips?

Do you consider it a worthwhile trade for the Blood Vial instead of the max life hit? It would probably give better sustain, although I can certainly see where it would largely lard up your deck with sub-par options, and if you're using bites for healing... well, you probably have more pressing concerns.

I consider blood vial to be pretty garbage so I'd probably make that trade if I hadn't already gotten rid of my strikes on a playthrough. I wouldn't do it if I'd already managed to clear my strikes out though.

Yeah, 2 HP at the start of combat isn't exactly great. It's helpful, but it's one of the weaker relics. The math is pretty easy on whether you do the trade, too. If you have a bunch of your Strikes left, you will almost certainly be getting more than one Strike in per combat and thus you get a better deal than the Blood Vial.

That's because it's not true. Vampirism is an Act 2 specific event.

And I was so sure about it...

I apologise for the misinformation.
