Why Wyrm? o_O

It's cheap to install and let's you use stimhack money to get in quickly. It can allow parasite to kill ice on the same turn that the parasite is installed. It has minor synergy with e3. (Originally the parasites were going to be more of a focus but I had no influence for clone chips. Still, you can tutor for them with Djinn).

You know, that you have to pump it up to the Strength of the Ice, before you can lower the Strength?

For example to break an Eli you need to pump it with 3 Credits, then lower it with 4 and then the breaking costs 6. That's 13 Credits.

But with 3 Liberated Accounts you can do that 3 Times, so: Happy running! ;)

Yeah I know about that. But there's so many ways to break Eli in here. I could pay 2 clicks. I could use quetzals ability and 1 click. With e3 I could change a click in either situation to a credit. I could pay $4 with knight. I could real how you say but pay $4 with Stimhack. I could reduce that cost by 2 for each Datasucker token I spend. I could reduce that cost by 2 for each multithreader. I could avoid breaking the subs at all by using Parasite and trashing it with Wyrm when I encounter it. I could use security nexus to bypass it.

Nexus seems pretty rough here. Without the Dysons out, only having a single link per trigger seems non-efficient.
