Strategy
Without other sources of Overdrive, Overpower adds 2 to all your attacks this turn, and 1 next turn. Its Energy cost makes it difficult to use alongside attacks, but if you can it's very quick to pay off. On your following turn it will add 1 to all your attacks but this time it won't be in your way, and you'll have more Energy. If you can add more Overdrive with this card, such as with Revenge Drive, the damage potential over the next few cards can be quite staggering, though you may take damage in the process given how much of a commitment to offense this requires to be used well.
The A upgrade makes it 1 cost, making it easier to play more attacks alongside it, increasing its output.
The B upgrade instead makes it not Exhaust, which can perhaps be useful for longer boss fights where you may want to play it multiple times. In a typical enemy fight this won't do that much though, and there are probably better ways to deal with bosses. It's usually quite hard to stack this card with itself due to its enery cost, as powerful as that can be.
