What this card contributes
A rules-driven Minion that changes combat through its printed effect: The first time this Shifts, gain 1 Shield.
When to play it
Deploy it when its printed effect can change the current Sector or survive long enough to create repeat value. Its 1-Energy cost makes it a flexible opener and an efficient way to complete a round.
DEX scaling
DEX Minions manipulate cards and Energy so you can act earlier and recover faster.
What to avoid
Its value depends on activating or preserving its printed effect, so do not evaluate it as a plain stat body.
