Recalibrator is an artifact that draws a card every time you attack and miss.

Clarification

This triggers when a Jupiter Drone misses, as they are essentially another cannon for your ship. It does not trigger when an Attack Drone misses.

Strategy

On first glance, it seems very underwhelming, as you generally don't want to miss the enemy ship. Your shot doesn't do anything! And you usually spent Energy for that miss, and 1 Energy for 1 card draw is...not a good trade. If you don't build into it, it is in fact a rather underwhelming artifact.

However, there's also a lot of cool things you can do with it:

1. Multi-shots, like Multi Shot, Barrage, Sear and Buckshot, can become a source of card draw - Peri and Drake don't natively have that.
2. Jupiter Drones positioned far from the enemy will give you card draw whenever you attack, without being vulnerable to the enemy
3. With Basic Shot A, you have a card that if you can miss becomes a cycling card. If you can draw your deck and line up your cannon to miss, Basic Shot A is now a 1-card infinite. If you have any way to capitalize on this, such as Grazer Beam, Crosslink, or even Sharp Edges or Caffeine Rush, you can use this to very powerful effect - Grazer Beam in particular will result in a lethal infinite.
