Fortitude
provides damage prevention and additional actions.
Freak Drive
played in 207 decks,
typically 2-10 copies
By far the most played card, this is a straight-up A&B enhancer. The 1 blood cost is a bargain, although vampires with access to can use the cheaper Forced March.
Daring the Dawn
played in 84 decks,
typically 1-3 copies
An efficient block denial. It is a good tool to deliver a finishing blow when no good stealth discipline is available, even with such a drawback.
Rolling with the Punches
played in 80 decks,
typically 2-8 copies
The best damage prevention of the game: its inferior version is easy to use and the superior version is efficient against high damage, additional strikes and aggravated damage all the same.
Hidden Strength
played in 59 decks,
typically 2-6 copies
An excellent damage prevention at inferior : it is easy to use and will not jam a hand, plus it prevents aggravated and defuses Taste of Vitae as well as Disarm. The optional press at superior can also come in handy.
Unflinching Persistence
played in 33 decks,
typically 2-6 copies
A good damage prevention at no cost, it is mostly included for its optional maneuver, a great way to provide some range control without risking jamming the hand too much.
Indomitability
played in 28 decks,
typically 2-5 copies
A good damage prevention at no cost, easy to use with a useful optional press. Contrary to Hidden Strength, its press can be used even if the opponent inflicts no damage, for example if he uses a maneuver to try to avoid damage.
Soak
played in 24 decks,
typically 2-5 copies
It prevents a large chunk of damage — up to 4 at superior — at no cost, but only non-aggravated. It lacks the extra effects of Rolling with the Punches or Hidden Strength, yet the sheer amount prevented keeps it relevant against heavy hitters.
Superior Mettle
played in 23 decks,
typically 1-3 copies
A bit less impactful than Rolling with the Punches, it is appreciated by vampires who have only access to inferior Fortitude , or those expecting multi-rounds combats.
