I would rather put Scorpio out than this card. Here is why.
1: costs less after three turns.
2: you can play Gear/Armor cards on Scorpio
3: Scorpio can go on Shadowruns if need be, to protect
Here is the info on the trait Guard.
"Guard: The Guard trait allows a Runner to take damage directed at
another Runner that is present. A Runner with Guard may take damage
equal to his Body. Any excess damage must be taken by the original
target. A runner using Guard during a shadowrun need not turn to use
the
trait; at all other times, he is required to turn."
And here is scorpio's text.
Name: Scorpio
Type: Runner
Cost: 6
Text: 5/6, Guard, Stamina, firearms streetwise, leadership.
