Strategy

Whiplash is an efficient card, combining good damage with 1 movement to the left net for just 1 card and 1 energy. The catch is that your shot is fired from 2 spaces to your left. This fact makes this card better on ships with cannons on the right side of them. This card works really well with Strafe in play, as it will activate twice when you play this card.

The A upgrade adds Flippable, making the card more versatile, making it essentially function as 1 Evade in addition to giving you more ways to get your shot to actually connect with the enemy ship.

The B upgrade instead simply adds +1 damage. This upgrade isn't terribly impressive; you can get +1 damage on several card upgrades.
