Nonupeipe is one of the Ancients in Slay the Spire 2. Nonupeipe appears at the start of Act 3 and presents three relics chosen at random from her pool. One relic is conditional, which changes the odds depending on your deck.
The quick read: Act 3 placement, Serendipity Incarnate (Beta content), and a relic choice that rewards players who know which picks scale their deck. Below is every relic in each pool with the real offer rates.

Which picks matter
Without the conditional relic the pool is nine relics at about 33.3% each; with Beautiful Bracelet eligible it is ten at 30% each. Diamond Diadem and Fur Coat are the standouts — front-loaded Block and 1-HP fights respectively — but Looming Fruit is a quiet win for low-HP characters.
The mistake players make
Picking for the moment instead of the run. The strongest Ancient pick is usually the one that thins, upgrades, or fuels your deck for the whole act, not the relic that wins the next fight. Read the offer rates above — a 25% pool relic is rarer than a 33.3% one, so weight your choice toward what you will actually be offered.
A quick checklist
- Know which act Nonupeipe appears in before you plan around it.
- Favour deck-thinning and energy relics over one-fight payoffs.
- Watch the conditional relics — they only appear if your deck qualifies.
- Use the offer rates to judge how often a pick is even on the table.
