That's not worth taking unless you have at least 2 multi hit cards in your hand. ![]() Trauma takes 10 fugging hits to actually proc. Relies entirely on getting lucky with other cards. He wastes most of his time buffing, and when he actually does attack he hurts himself. Originally posted by Snake awful without healing. Don't forget - we all have to grind a bit to unlock ALL their cards. Methinks you just need to play him some more and experiment. That's just the tip of the ice-berg without unlocking his extra cards - and no doubt he'll be tweaked in the future as well. With my usual choice of perks, he was on the way to 90 health from the word go and a late +10 HP graft nearly put him to triple digits by the end - and he pretty much stayed at a minimum of 70 HP for the entire campaign after every combat - with plenty of healing cards, obscene debuff cards, and a hell of a lot of burst/sustain, with a mechanic that can let you draw cards to your heart's content or unload major damage/defense plays whenever needed. I don't recall a single fight even remotely challenging him. I found Smith infinitely easier during my first ever playthrough compared to all my more experienced runs as Rook and Sal. They've even made it so that debuffing enemies improves the damage of various cards by default, which is a brain-dead trade - not to mention one of them leading to planned double-damage windows. He has a stupidly high amount of ways to ramp up the damage of his combat deck in a near-passive way, along with all kinds of multi-strike abilities and debuffs. "Not much improved damage" is pretty laughable. Inherent healing mechanic, easy access to impair, wound and bleed, the highest base health of all characters AFAIR, various cards that just flat-out heal and don't expend, coupled with Moxie and Alleviate with other bottle-related cards that can ramp up obscene amounts of defense on demand. Hope they buff him a bit, as compared to the other 2 he is quite weak in combat, with weak defense and not much improved damage despite being forced to take self-damage to do it.
