Card text

Playable in Go Solo

(Equip to a friendly Unit or face-up Legend.)
If a Rival controls at least 2 more Gigs than you, this Unit has Adrenaline. (This Unit can attack the turn it's played.)

How this card works

This Gear is meant for the turn you are behind. For 2 Eddies the equipped Unit gets +3 power, and while a Rival controls at least 2 more Gigs than you, it has Adrenaline and can attack the turn it is played. The condition is checked continuously, not once when you equip it.

That matters for the ruling everyone runs into: if you steal a Gig first and the gap drops below 2, the Adrenaline is gone and the equipped Unit cannot attack. Order your attacks with that in mind. Adrenaline also does not let you use Spend effects the turn the Unit is played.

Put it on a heavy Unit that would otherwise sit out a turn. Adam Smasher: Metal Over Meat attacks at 18 power the turn he lands. It is CYBERWARE, so Viktor Vektor: Drop Your Illusions makes your first one each turn cost 3 less, to a minimum of 1 Eddie. It needs 4 Yellow RAM.
