Recuperation is a staple in my Wolverine decks. You can attack for 3 (with your upgrade), flip down while exhausted, drop Recuperation to heal for 6, then on your next turn you can flip back up and attack again with no loss of pacing or tempo. It also helps you push through the Death Factor from the Nemesis side deck.
I have Recuperation in Hulk. Down Time + Banner's Lab gives a Recovery of 8, spend 2 (using the Alter-Ego resource generator to help) + exhaust to recover 16, and back to Hulking next turn at usually full health. It's physical, which makes Hulk A̶n̶g̶r̶y̶ Happy. Haven't found a worthwhile hero to use the second set that came with Iceman.
Recuperation is definitely not worth it for all Heroes. It certainly combos well with Down Time, increasing the power of Recuperation. Ultimately, Recuperation is paying 2 for a Ready action, which the designers have put a bit of a premium on. Remember Tenacity?
Agree 100% with Recuperation. It's sad bc we could use more grey healing cards in the game other than First Aid. To pay for this to save the exhaust for an action would only be worth it in some high swing heroes that really need to exhaust to use the attributes. Still, there are plenty of 2-cost events even in Aspects that outperform this making it pointless to save the exhaust to use Hero attributes anyway. Therefore, still cheaper to exhaust to get the 3 heal than the Hero attribute swings..
idk if i'd use it with them but the use cases that came to mind were x-23 who wants to be ready to play those big turns (6 rec too) and she damages herself enough that she really needs the health back. Deadpool was the other because of his massive rec and self inflicted issues not to mention his hero passive.
@@D20Woodworkingshe-hulk has cards in her kit that require her to make a basic attack first. Also this gives the option to boost heal She-Hulk if you wanted to without exhausting her two times in a row for that.
@@D20Woodworking 8 recovery (+ Down Time) is pretty good for 2 resources, also, Split Personality works specifically well in this case. Ms. Marvel likes to flip to alter-ego constantly, so this works for her as well. Nevertheless, I think that this card would be better at 1 cost.
Edit: Disregard this whole post, I literally didn't notice it's an Event. I _always_ mix up what's an Event you play once and be done with and what's a Support that sticks around. Am I insane or does Recuperate not exhaust your hero, the card, have any tokens, or say "once per turn"? I feel like the obvious intent is you get a free heal once per turn but what am I missing that stops you from just doing that over and over back up to full? Is an "action" inherently once per turn or something, because one of the first things I learned expressly about this game is that you only exhaust a card if it tells you to, there's no "assumed" exhaustion.
Recuperation is essentially a 2 cost ready, when they are typically 1 cost. With higher Rec, it goes up in value but so does simply exhausting to rec. You are better off a standard ready, especially for heroes like Hulk and She Hulk who have limitless Stamina.

Paused...
She-Hulk, there you have.
Also combines well with Down Time, and most heroes with 4+ recovery can make a good use of it.
Why not just exhaust though. I would rather do that then spend 3 ER

When I saw Recuperation reprint for X-Men, I thought I was missing something 😂

It's an event, only happens when you pay for it, specifically in alter ego
@DiosNoMames OH MY GOD I'M THE STUPIDEST PERSON ON THE PLANET
2 for 3 is not worth it, I would better off using it to purchase another card.
Love starhwk never use recuperation
I used Recuperation with She Hulk hack when I had limited card pool and the option was First Aid or this...
