Hi @jonriver,
Thank you for reporting the bug regarding card “17009” (Leader of the Guardians) in version 0.5.9.78.
Could you please double-check if your ally is gaining the “GUARDIAN” trait from “17001a” (Star-Lord)? If they are, it is expected that they would receive the +1 THW bonus.
If they are not gaining the trait, could you please share your save file with us for further investigation?
Thank you for your assistance!
