Evaluate

Evaluate is a Watcher common skill that gains 6 Block and generates 1 extra energy at the start of next turn for 1 energy. Unlike Calm stance which gives energy immediately on exit, Evaluate's energy comes next turn. This delayed energy gain means Evaluate effectively reduces the cost of one card next turn, enabling more plays over multiple turns. Combined with a solid 6 Block, it provides both immediate defense and future turn acceleration.

Evaluate is a strong defensive card in Watcher decks that need consistent Block without relying entirely on stance transitions. The +1 energy next turn can be used for any follow-up card, allowing more ambitious plays on the subsequent turn. It synergizes well with Insight (a skill that gives draw on use) and works in Calm-cycling builds as a source of extra block without requiring a stance exit. Upgraded, Evaluate gains 10 Block instead of 6, significantly improving the defensive return and making it a much stronger blocker for the same energy cost.
