How do you get your breakers back after you Apocalypse the first time?

You don't. So the ideal setup is to not have any installed until mid-late game. Using Feint + Inside job to set up Apocalypse. Usually I'm able to snipe an early 2-3 points, then I do the Apocalypse thing. Then it's legwork and keyhole for the last points I need. It's a high risk high reward situation.

Also if you wait and just install 1 or two of your breakers and just let them set up ice, losing some breakers might not matter. So I wait until I see about 9-11 ice against a glacier style deck and then I do Apocalypse. It's worth not having breakers to snipe the majority of their ice. Then you just keyhole and legwork hard. If you wait too long though, you'll get locked out by a wraparound or something stupid. Gotta be very aggressive.

That being said though, you could drop some stuff for a Deja Vu or a Clone chip if you were worried about that. Film Critic and Shard might be my first choices if I decided I needed recursion.

Critic is really there for the PE match-up. 40 cards and minimal recursion hurts against PE, though the expose effect is nice.

Just saw your match go down on jinteki.net. Apocalypse worked fantastically.

Thanks man! It's risky but generally if I play like I can't find my breakers I'm able to make it go down then use my breakers for later. Thanks for watching!

7-9: Expose a card. 10+: Trash all installed Corp's cards.
