-As such, Network Siphon can be strong when you're able to get a lot of utility out of power spent when the [[:alarm level|alarm tracker]] is already very advanced, such as challenge campaigns where the alarm tracker moves at faster-than usual speed, or in an agency making heavy use of an [[:items#econ_chip|econ chip]] (as it motivates staying deep into the alarm tracker, and creates a need for [[:PWR]] since consoles aren't being used for it). However, [[:agents:Archive Internationale]] suffers by comparison to other agents with starting augments that generate [[:PWR]], such as [[:agents:Prism]], in most other agencies.+As such, Network Siphon can be strong when you're able to get a lot of utility out of power spent when the [[:alarm level|alarm tracker]] is already very advanced, such as challenge campaigns where the alarm tracker moves at faster-than usual speed, or in an agency making heavy use of an [[:items#econ_chip|econ chip]] (as it motivates staying deep into the alarm tracker, and creates a need for [[:PWR]] since consoles aren't being used for it).
