Drivers

Overview

Drivers provide unique abilities, to use them you have to fill up the driver gauge, each driver has a unique condition which grants driver gauge points.
Drivers add powerful passive and active abilities to the player's options. Drivers add a Module to the train to give a passive buff during every fight, from the very beginning of the run. And drivers offer one of a few powerful cards to play every time their Driver Gauge fills up.
Driver Gauge
Every driver has a different way to fill their gauge through different player actions, and their gauges require a different number of points to fill. For example, Monica's driver gauge fills up one point for every point of damage dealt to other units, up to 20.
When the gauge fills, the Activate button becomes enabled. Clicking this places a randomly selected card in the player's hand from the driver's set. This card then behaves like any other card and will be discarded at the end of the player's turn. To get another driver card, the gauge must be filled again.
Driver Bonuses
When upgrading carriages, a driver bonus frequently appears as an option alongside the carriage's cards. These Instant rewards are neither cards nor modules, but are one-time bonus effects applied to the driver that affects their gauge and driver cards.
