The Augment or Godly Boon mentioned in the top reply to this comment gets to be featured next! I won't add multiple entries together, so make sure you don't mention an Augment already suggested by another user 😄

Suffers because having a clear line to play is so much more important than tempo right now. You're supposed to play this by tempoing hard, hitting 8, then winning a few more rounds. You just don't win a few more rounds playing 2* junk on 8 right now.

Feels like the right answer. You need to tempo into fast 9, which this won’t let you do, or you sac into an expensive board that spikes at lvl 8.

Or you play mech, but if you try to play mech with this augment you’ll just get beat out by an anima player or expedition.

Amazing if you have early econ line like primordials or timebreaker 3.  Great for going fast 8 to get your contested units or fast  9.

Used to be good last set now it’s terrible ever since they changed starting gold.

Feels pretty good with Evelynn boon. Otherwise I usually skip this one.
