Reprogram is an Uncommon Skill for The Defect, which causes it to gain 1 (2) Strength and Dexterity at the cost of losing 1 (2) Focus. Upgrading Reprogram increases the attribute changes (both loss and gain) from 1 to 2.

Reprogram can serve as a powerful, reusable source of Strength and Dexterity if you are not using Orbs affected by Focus.

Interactions

• The focus loss of Reprogram is considered a debuff. As such, Artifacts will negate the focus loss while still providing the strength/dexterity gains. Core Surge and Clockwork Souvenir are reliable sources of Artifacts for The Defect.
• Plasma orbs are not affected by focus, so Meteor Strike and Fusion work well with Reprogram.
• If you are committed to using Reprogram and don't mind the Focus loss, Hyperbeam has no downsides.
• All for One can allow you to play several Claws (or other 0-cost attacks) in one turn, allowing you to benefit from the Strength gain multiple times.
• The Dexterity gained by Reprogram allows Steam Barrier to last longer and yield more Block for free.
• Since Reinforced Body applies Block multiple times, the Dexterity gained from Reprogram applies multiple times as well.
