Lady Jessica

Lady Jessica is Uprising's only two-sided leader. She starts on her Jessica side: her Signet Ring (Spice Agony) pays 1 spice for a Bene Gesserit Influence step and moves a troop from your supply to the Bene Gesserit area as a memory. Her passive, Other Memories, lets you — when sending an Agent to a Bene Gesserit space — return all those memories, drawing a card for each, then flip the leader.

As Reverend Mother Jessica, once per turn at a Bene Gesserit or Fremen space you may spend 1 water to repeat the space's printed effects, and her signet becomes 1 spice → 1 water. She is an investment arc: sow, harvest, transcend.

Play the early game as an accumulator: each Spice Agony is Influence progress (the Bene Gesserit VP and Alliance come almost for free) plus a banked card. Time the Other Memories harvest for a round where a huge hand matters — then spend the rest of the game as the Reverend Mother, whose water-powered double space effects make every Bene Gesserit and Fremen visit nearly two visits.

Her VP mix leans political: Influence thresholds, an Alliance or two, and the purchases a monster draw-turn funds.

• Sow memories steadily — a signet play most rounds builds both the Influence track and the future card harvest; three or four memories is a healthy crop
• Flip on your terms — the draw-for-each harvest is strongest right before a Reveal turn you want to be huge (a key Conflict, a big Persuasion round)
• As Reverend Mother, budget water — Fremen combat spaces repeated twice swing battles; Bene Gesserit spaces repeated twice swing tracks. Keep 1–2 water always in reserve
• Mind the troop cost — memories come from your supply, thinning future garrisons; don't sow so deep that the mid-game army disappears
