Hit: it deals 5 damage for 0 Energy, then counts the cards you finished playing this turn before it.
Draw: if that count is below 3, you draw 1 card.
Window: FTL itself is not counted, so it draws as your first, second or third card of the turn, and it glows gold while it still will.
Upgrade: it deals 6 and the limit becomes 4, so it draws as any of your first four plays.
When to take FTL
Grab it freely in Act 1; a free Attack that replaces itself is never dead, and the Defect wants cheap cards to dig for orbs. Lead your turn with it so the draw is guaranteed.
