Compare: Engolo × Curupira

  • Like Engolo or Mass-Driver, Lobisomem is a [2mu] Decoder that can also break/‘melt’ Barriers.
  • Like Curupira or Nfr, Lobisomem charges up by fully break-ing (which makes further breaking of Barriers easier/cheaper).
  • Like Penrose, Lobisomem is a Decoder that can immediately break a Barrier.

Synergies:

  • Orca: both complements it (by breaking Sentries) and charges it up (to break Barriers); also, you can Spark of Inspiration out either (as @CallForJudgement mentions in their review).

  • Rigging Up: you ramp it out for [$5] and 2 power counters (it's immediately ‘chargeable’ because it reads When you install this program and …, place 1 power counter on this program.).


Flavor: “lobisomem” is pronounced [lobizˈõmẽj] in Brazilian-Portuguese (like “lo-bee-zO-meng” in English), and means “werewolf” (from Latin “lupus” (“wolf”) +‎ “hominem” (“man”)).


Juli reimburses four clicks.

For example, given a resource with [CLICK]: Run… (like Red Team or her sister Debbie "Downtown" Moreira), she gives you four free runs (across four turns), cf.:

When your turn begins, you may run any server.

In particular, she exactly fully-reimburses the [CLICK][CLICK][CLICK][CLICK] of using up that Red Team; or of using up a Liberated Account, cf. an “eight-credit double–Daily Casts”:

When you install this resource, load [$16] onto it. When it is empty, trash it.

When your turn begins, take [$4] from this resource.

“Juli Moreira” is pronounced [ˈʒuli muˈɾejɾa] in Brazilian-Portuguese (like “JHOO-lee mu-REY-ra” in English).

Notes:

  • It's a “Double-Multiaccess-matters” effect: thus, it needs repeatable double-multiaccess (e.g. WAKE Implant v2A-JRJ after two HQ successes, The Twinning after two turns of “Companion’ing”, etc), or multiple stackable continuous single-multiaccess (e.g Docklands Pass during a Jailbreak run, Nyashia during a Trick Shot run, etc).
  • It's an “Any-Accesses-matter” effect: thus (IIUC), breaching a nonempty HQ with two upgrades installed in HQ's root still counts.
  • It’s a power counter-based count-up (not a countdown): thus, it can be charge’d twice, but only first “self-charging” once.
  • Being unique, you can't charge up two copies off of the same breach.
  • Being a resource with a BoT-trigger, it's vulnerable to tagging.
  • “3 Legworks worth” of breaches can be hard to pull off, but zapping “2.5 Hedge Funds worth” of credits can be hard to come back from! (The Corp does have a turn to spend as much as they can, once it has reached three power counters, but you don't have to sacrifice it if they do ‘invest’ all their credits into rezzes, under the Bird’s “threat of activation”; so “mass–Forged Activation Orders’ing” them seems good.)
  • Being a virtual, it's “Gachapon'able” (and tutorable off Meeting of Minds, FWIW).

Trick Shot pairs a Subsidized Run with both an R&D Multiaccess and a (Clickless) Remote Run.

And it really feels like a trick shot: you're bouncing around all over the place, knocking several billiard balls into different pockets.

IIUC, by moving around a Chisel before each approach, Spree can accrue up to 3 virus counters on it off a single run, while also shrinking all three ice on a server by an average of at least −2 strength each (cf. a local K2CP Turbine), even post-purge. Or, off just one of Spree’s three ‘charges’, you can move a big Chisel onto an brutal piece of ice (like an Anansi or Trebuchet) that's outermost, after having built up several counters on it by running through or bumping off a gentle piece of ice (like an Ablative Barrier or Ping) that's elsewhere, which UAV can't do (even if it could yank back viruses, it would reset their counters anyways).


P.S. Design-wise, my favorite Shaper effects are the “moving stuff around”:

(So I hope Spree will still see some play in Arissana, despite how good Burner and Trick Shot will be in any Shaper.)

An astute observation regarding Chisel. Not sure I follow your logic in saying least -2 strength to each ICE. Assuming a server 3 ICE deep which are not destroyed as a result of hosting Chisel and no virus counters to start, we should see -1, -2, then -3 strength I believe. Of course, interactions with Monkeywrench, which can also be moved, open up a whole range of new possibilities.

@FreqKing I said "at least an average", which was unclear; what I meant "-1, -2, and -3 strength averages out to -2", and starting at "-1 strength was the the minimum, even after a purge or if just installed"
