Strategy
Inverter can turn your Shield into Overdrive, allowing you to turn a defensive strategy into a kill quite quickly if timed correctly. One awkward part of this card is that Peri has rather few ways to gain Shield, so she'll need help to use this card well. Dizzy is the obvious candidate, though Warp Mastery or Books can also serve this role. It can be quite hard to use as it takes most of your Energy and defensive reserves this turn, meaning you often don't get to use all your Overdrive immediately, whereas unless you have Evade your enemy will be able to take advantage of your lost Shield quite immediately. So this card definitely needs help to reach its potential, but it's immensely satisfying when it does.
Its A upgrade helps with setup, decreasing the cost by 1. This allows you to either recoup your defense or use your newfound power to smash your opponent this very turn.
Its B upgrade is rather interesting - it functionally adds 2 Shield to the base version, which is great value for the upgrade. It means you can even use this card as a defensive card in a situation where you can't spare Shield - a slightly worse version of Big Shield if played with 0 Shield.
