💡 How to Use
Biased Cognition is a high-impact power that provides a massive immediate boost to Orb effectiveness, perfect for ending fights quickly or stabilizing defense. It is most effective when played mid-fight to secure a win or when paired with ways to negate or outscale the Focus loss.
⚡ Synergies
card
Defragment
Defragment provides a permanent Focus increase that helps counteract the steady decay caused by Biased Cognition. This allows the Defect to maintain a positive Focus balance for a longer duration during extended boss encounters.
relic
Data Disk
Starting the combat with Focus from Data Disk raises the ceiling of your orb power once Biased Cognition is activated. This higher baseline ensures that your orbs remain potent for several additional turns before the Focus penalty becomes a liability.
card
Echo Form
Using Echo Form to play Biased Cognition twice grants a staggering +8 Focus, which is usually enough to overwhelm any enemy immediately. While the Focus loss also doubles, the initial burst of power is typically sufficient to conclude the combat before the downside matters.
card
Capacitor
Increasing your Orb Slots with Capacitor allows the massive Focus gain to be applied to a larger number of orbs at once. This scales the total passive output of your orbs exponentially, maximizing the value of the temporary Focus boost.
