📜 Card Effect

Gain 4 Focus. At the start of your turn, lose 1 Focus.

🎯 Strategy & Guide

How to Use

Gain 4 Focus for 1 energy — the best rate in the game. This instantly doubles (or more) the effectiveness of all your orbs. In a 5-turn fight, you get 4+3+2+1+0 = 10 total Focus-turns. Use Lightning spam (Tempest, Storm) to convert Focus into immediate damage, or Frost orbs (Glacier, Coolheaded) for massive block before decay sets in.

Drafting Philosophy #4 Pick Priority

Biased Cognition rewards aggressive orb-based builds. Avoid in slow, grindy decks without sufficient orb generation. The Focus decays by 1 each turn, so plan to end fights within 4-5 turns of playing it. Draft multiple orb-generating cards so you always have orbs to benefit from your high Focus.

Key Synergies

Defragment Capacitor Barrage Multi-Cast Echo Form

Defragment adds permanent Focus to offset the decay. Capacitor increases orb slots so Focus affects more orbs simultaneously. Barrage deals damage per orb — more Focus = more damage. Multi-Cast evokes high-Focus orbs for massive burst. Echo Form doubles Biased Cognition for an insane 8 Focus.

💡 Pro Tip: Echo Form + Biased Cognition = 8 Focus on turn 1. That's +8 damage per Lightning orb and +16 block per Frost orb. Most hallway fights end in 2 turns with this setup. For boss fights, pair with Defragment to offset decay and maintain high Focus throughout.
