Ace and Attack Damage

Is it me or augments like Band of Might are scares? I see a lot of Power damage though. With a full run, my Power damage is always higher than my Attack damage.

Plain attack damage bonuses are scarce, sure - but situational attack damage bonuses (like Bounding Blaster, CQC Enthusiast or Top Shelf) seem to be a lot more common.

Plus, Ace actually works really good if you build him for Power damage. Because of how his Style system works, he can keep his energy up easily, letting you spam Techniques to your heart's content. With enough Max Energy, you can basically have 100% Void Double uptime while also throwing out Leviathans and Raijin Calls like they're primary weapons.

That's true. I spam Void Double a lot but it doesn't scale well with Power damage. It's really the playstyle I don't enjoy really. Basic attack as a resource builder, then spend NRG on Power.
