Strategy

Feint is a solid defensive card, both moving and giving Temp Shield in the same card. Note that Feint goes left - the opposite of most of Peri's fixed-movement cards, so it's nice in that way against many enemies. Against Crystalline Entity and The Cobalt however, or if you're using Max's Save State, this can be a nuisance as in those situations you generally want to be going in the same direction. Its Temp Shield can be great as Peri's pool doesn't have much of it.

The A upgrade adds 1 more Temp Shield - not a great value for the upgrade, but if you really need defense it's an option.

The B upgrade trades 1 of the left movement for Evade - again not a great value for the upgrade, but if flexible evasion is card to come by it could be worth it. And a little Evade complements Peri's fixed-movements quite well.
