Why does this card cost 3 XP when all it does is give you 1 extra fight? Am I missing something?
The level 0 meatcleaver is a perfectly alright 0 weapon for those that want it at 0 XP but spending 3 on this thing seems like a waste of XP
It also costs 1 resource less and has more commit icons. If that is worth the XP is still debatable

That +1 fight is worth more than you think. Compared to the M1911, the M1911(2) upgrade costs only 2 XP for the same bonus, but you have limited uses (ammo). On a melee weapon that does not exhaust, the uses are unlimited, so you benefit from the +1 fight much longer. In chapter 2 the devs seem to be cautious to balance melee vs firearms, so that the players have a reason to run firearms instead of always going for melee. I believe this is a good change, melee weapons have been OP for too long. Also, the 3 XP cost means off-class investigators cannot run this which makes sense as well, for the same reasons.
