Keep Them Busy

Keep Them Busy

This is one of those cards that is deceptively good. I thought it was just ok up until recently, but then discovered just how great it can be - especially in multiplayer games.

This is really easy to thwart down with high-attack heroes; and you can leave it sitting out as a panic button for if the main scheme gets out of hand. Being able to suddenly clear 15 threat off the main scheme - as I did in a couple of three-player games - is just incredibly helpful. IMHO, a card that has a much better design than is first apparent.

Investigative Journalism

Investigative Journalism

Actually, this is probably the best double alter-ego Team-Up card for the moment and the only one that worths the cost.

It costs 3ER but:

  • Having Peter Parker on Alter-ego means he can generate an extra for two turns and have 1 extra handsize for a turn.

  • Having Cindy Moon on Alter-ego means she can draw 2 extra cards for two turns and have 1 extra handsize for a turn.

(Of course, we are expecting a scenario in which the villain isnt having protection against confusion.)

The effect is great, but it's so hard to set up. You don't know when you're going to draw this unless you hold it in hand (wasting a resource for the previous turn) so it's tricky to coordinate forms. The points you make only reflect on the heroes, not on Investigative Journalism (indeed, every card in the game would look better if you "discounted" it by extra resources produced by the hero). I think it's a rare case of being best used by hero+ally rather than hero+hero — Stretch22 · 2184

La verdad es que podrían haber diseñado una carta mejor y más acorde con los poderes de Kitty pride, es una oportunidad perdida para esta aliada. Hay cartas comunes de cote 3 más especializadas y atractivas, pero eso no deja de hacer que kity sea mala carta, además de ser tremendamente temática por el personaje. La veo muy factible en mazos de agresividad gracias a esos dos puntos de THW que anda faltos de ello, además su habilidad de anular iconos de un plan es un extra para agresividad donde no siempre puedes eliminar los planes rapidamente, permitiéndote disminuir lo eliminar la amenaza de un plan y a la vez ignorar el icono de este o de otro. Si usas x-men con agresividad, es un aliado a considerar, especialmente con Magik donde es muy temática y en el top te puede costar solo dos recursos.

This upgrade combos really well with Shoulder Cannon from War Machines deck. As each exhaust is an (attack) it allows you to unload into one target and double up on damage with the attached minion. Very thematic.

That worths 5 damage per 1ER card. Good call! — matchet · 355

Combat Specialist

Combat Specialist

This is a good card for Aggression builds that boost your basic ATK and want you to attack often. If you're just trying to build tempo by drawing during your attacks, you can pair this with Blood Rage. You could also double-dip if you can ready your hero (maybe with your hero ability, Battle Fury or Spoiling for a Fight if you're minion slaying, Limitless Stamina if you have a 14+ HP hero, or even Tenacity if you have the to spend), then play Spider-Man to ready Combat Specialist.

Adding a link to Specialized Training because I keep needing to search it when I look up the specialist cards.

I'm including the other available specializations below in case you want to hop directly to the other cards:
