Slay the Spire 2 3+ energy attacks stat sheet: damage per play

Every 3+ energy attack card with a fixed damage number, across all five characters and the colorless pool, ranked by the total damage one play deals before upgrades, Strength or Vulnerable.

Ranked by damage per play from the game files at build 23811903. Counts the fixed damage a play deals. Does not count block, draw, debuffs, Exhaust, synergies or how the card fits a deck, so it is not a verdict on which card is best.

How this is ranked

Metric: The damage the card text deals, times the number of hits ("twice", "3 times"), added up over every damage line. Area attacks count once, not once per enemy; block, card draw, debuffs and other effects are shown in the card but not counted.
Why there are no tiers: The number is exact, but on its own it can't say which one is best, so this is a sorted sheet with no tier letters. What it leaves out is in the line at the top; your own ranking belongs in the maker.

2 3+ energy attacks whose damage depends on the fight ("for each", "X", "equal to your Block") or on Osty aren't ranked: there's no fixed number to compare.
