Strategy
Converter lets you turn your Shield economy into Evade economy. Since Evade, unlike Shield, is not capped by anything, this lets you turn a strong Shield economy into a more well-rounded defense, letting you move when you need to in order to avoid powerful attacks.
Note that it can at times be difficult to use this card effectively, especially in the early game, since it leaves you shieldless right after using it. Perhaps you have a lot of Evade, but against many enemies you'll need to spend quite a bit of it to completely get out of harm's way. As such, you'll want a lot of Shield-gaining cards to pair with this.
Its A upgrade has this in mind, reducing the Energy cost to 0, letting you play other cards alongside it to round out your economy.
Its B upgrade instead lets you keep your Shield at the expense of costing 3 Energy, possibly making it the only thing you play this turn - with a strong Shield, you can then use only some of your Evade to dodge the worst of the attacks while still having plenty left over to use later.
