How is your score calculated in a climb?
Solution 1:
When playing slay the spire, at the end of the run you're awarded a score which, when I first played STS appeared to be extremely arbitrary, however, if you have a deeper look into it you'll find they just use an overly complex score system based on what you do during the run.
Looking at the WIKI they do a good job breaking down the scoring system
