Title: Symbiote Suit Analysis
Symbiote Suit in Marvel Champions is a forecost basic upgrade that enhances a hero's hand size, basic powers, and hit points. It benefits certain heroes like Drax and X-23 the most, while others may not need it. However, it provides a universal advantage by boosting hand size and basic powers, which is always beneficial in gameplay. The tempo hit and extra encounter card can be crucial factors in decision-making based on player count and game progress.
Title: Personal Preferences on Symbiote Suit
While some players find Symbiote Suit a vital inclusion in their decks for the boost it offers, others like Lazy Titan have grown bored of it due to its ease of play and forgetting its usage in games. Preferences for including the card depend on how well it aligns with the specific hero's needs and play style. Additionally, the strategic trade-off of adding an extra encounter card must be carefully assessed based on the game situation and player count.

Balancing the advantages of improved stats with the drawbacks of tempo loss and increased encounter cards is key to maximizing the value of Symbiote Suit in Marvel Champions gameplay.
