Being The Optimist helps you to not despair during the Icon Mush apocalypse.

Having this skill reduces the daily morale loss by 1 Morale. Effectively, that means you do not become depressed just from the passage of time as long as Icon Mankind's only hope is alive.

However, since a mere 1 Morale is pretty cheap to come by (between completely free in the presence of a Icon Shrink to 1 Action Point when cooking a ration), this effect can be considered very weak in all but the most "hopless" morale situations.


It is an okay supplementary skill for a Icon Gold Mode Icon Kuan Ti. But once he has access to Icon Leader, the crew as a whole gets more morale from that - which in turn leaves more other morale sources, like fruits, for KT.

Icon Roland, on the other hand, gets four superior skills before even unlocking this one.
