Japantown Jonin
Card text
Playable in Go Solo
Play Give a friendly Unit +2 power this turn.
(Units with power 0 don't steal Gigs.)
How this card works
On its own Japantown Jonin does nothing in combat - with 0 power it steals no Gigs. You pay 2 Eddies for the Play effect: give a friendly Unit +2 power this turn. That is exactly what a Unit sitting at 8 or 9 power needs to reach 10 and steal a second Gig.
Heywood Ripperdoc is one candidate, going from 8 to 10. Swordwise Huscle is another: it has 3 power and draws a card on attack at 5+, so play Jonin first - power added after the attack is declared is too late for that check.
The ruling lets Jonin target itself, but it has Lag the turn it's played, so it can't attack anyway. The bonus ends with your turn and won't help you defend on your Rival's turn.
