X-23 protecfun

The key is to defend from all attacks you and your comrades would take, then go into alter ego when your comrades all have a tough status card. Angel's Aerie will allow you to recover fully by that point and Ready to Rumble will allow you to recover and then attack 3 times. Take the Defense Specialist upgrade when the Specialist Training Side Scheme is defeated and put the Adamantium Lacing upgrade when the Superpower Training side scheme is defeated if its not yet in play. By the end you should have 4 DEF, 2 retaliate and many ways to protect your piers even after changing to alter-ego.
