I am with you on not understanding the attraction to this set of cards. The card draw is nice but in most of the classes my investigators are testing high enough that I don't include the L0 version. Yes, it gives you card draw but I would rather have the other better cards in my deck in the first place. — The Lynx · 967 9/15/20

So typically, if I am testing one or two stats very frequently, I usually include the level 0 versions of these skills. All my fighters take Overpower, all my cluevers take Perception, etc. They have always been good cards and I think people have shifted to underplaying them. They just increase your consistency and help you cycle into your best cards faster. These upgrades are just more gas in that tank. — StyxTBeuford · 12987 9/15/20

I also typically focus on boosting 2 skills for each investigator but one I focus on boosting only with static boosts. The other I focus on boosting with wild/skill icons. And I could get L2 skill card but usually I would prefer to add the L2+ card that boosts itself like Rite Of Seeking (2). I could see myself using the Overpower version because I usually always have extra combat icons in my deck since failing a combat test can turn things ugly very quickly. Most of my Mystics decks are testing at an 8WP by mid campaign and I barely include any skill cards in their deck anyway. — The Lynx · 967 9/15/20

I’m not particularly excited about most of the cycle, although I find them interesting. I particularly value Perception (2) and Overpower (2) because they add more powerful gas to Practice Makes Perfect. — Death by Chocolate · 1447 9/15/20

I use Guts in my deck as a support card for other characters. My WP is fine but I often pitch this in to help a teammate when location effects are increasing the difficulty and I need to have another in my location. — Staticalchemist · 1 2/7/23

0 actions -> 2 draw + bonus against harsh tokens — Drostt · 115 10/4/24

Cryptic research 2xp more, 1 draw more, you don't have to test anything (plus any player can take it), I think they are on pair, especially that this can be taken by mystics — Drostt · 115 10/4/24
