Strategy
Battle Repair is one of the only Peri cards to give you Shield, and one of a very small number of cards that heals. This potentially allowing you to stay alive despite taking some hits every once in a while. This can be used to compensate for Peri's tendency to focus on offense over defense, allowing the occasional hull lost to not take you down. However, it isn't super efficient in the context of a single fight (Big Shield, for example, improves your longevity by 3 for the same cost and is reusable), so it's best used in a situation where you have the fight under control and the extra hull can be saved for next fight. Ironically, this actually prefers a more defensive approach.
Its A upgrade makes it 1 cost, making it easier to use in the context of a battle without losing momentum.
Its B upgrade drastically boosts its ability, but at the cost of making it Single Use! This can be nice to upgrade to near the end of a run, where it will help top off your health before the final boss and then get out of your way forever - you don't want this card getting in your way in the final fight where it is a sub-par card. It can also be abused with Max's Backup Stick, allowing you to make copies of it which you can play freely, which is actually quite easy to do since it Retains.
