How to play Beacon of Hope

  • Take it only when you are actually playing with other people. In a solo run there is no "other player" to receive the block, so the card does very little.
  • Play it before your big block turns, not after them. The power has to be in play when you gain the block for your team to benefit.
  • Upgrade it if the run is long. The upgrade adds Innate, so it starts in your opening hand and you can set up the support before the first big hit.

Common mistakes

  • Taking it in a single-player run because the text sounds strong. Without teammates it is close to a blank card.
  • Playing it after you have already gained your block. The trigger only works while the power is active.
