Strategy

Despite the Moose Charm increasing the attached card's Counter, it is actually a good damage boost for many Companions. The Moose Charm increases a card's damage output if and only if its attack is less than 3 times its Counter (regardless of Frenzy). This can be found using the equation f * a/c < f * (a+3)/(c+1), where a is attack, c is Counter, and f is Frenzy. This simplifies to a < 3c.

Unsurprisingly, basically every Companion at base will meet this condition. However, this only considers the card's base attack. If the card gains attack or Spice by any means, it may break this threshold, or at least come close enough that the Moose Charm would be better off on a different card. For instance, Yuki has incredible potential for attack gain and has a base Counter of 4. Using this formula, once their attack is 12 or higher, the Moose Charm will start lowering their damage output due to the increased Counter. Additionally, the longer Counter means that the card will use its abilities less often, which can cause problems in other ways.

Snobble is notable for being the only Companion whose effect scales directly with the damage they deal. The Moose Charm allows them to inflict 5 Snow every 5 turns, completely locking down an enemy card as long as they keep attacking it and as long as the card lacks Resist Snow.
