This card is amazing and only 1 influence. Obvious way is just stop one important run. Better use is to boost ICE with dangerous effects like force to trash a program with Rototurret. This works very good with Jinteki also and Troubleshooter makes Chum dangerous (Chum + Neural Katana is even better). I can see this card even better with expansions and more dangerous ice. Only bad thing is that this card is practically a 40$ single :P
For that price why would you buy a single? You could get a whole set of Netrunner for ~30?
Hi! Can i use the hability of this card after the runner spend credits to add attack to one of his icebreakers (in order to pass through the buffed ice) or i have to use it before the runner spend credits? Sry for my English! And Thank you

According to the official timing structure of a run (found in the official FAQ), Corporate Troubleshooter must be rezzed in step 2.3, directly after the runner decides not to jack out. This is also when you want to use the card's ability, because the next time it could be used to pump the ICE would be after the runner breaks the ICE (step 3.1). So Corporate Troubleshooter must be used before the runner uses his Icebreakers.

But don't you can activate the Corporate Troubleshooter's ability after the runner add strength to the icebreaker but before he breaks subrutines? Is the runner the only player allowed to activate abilities in step 3.1? Thanks ^^

The corp can use paid abilities in step 3.1, but the runner gets to use all of his first because it is the runner's turn. The abilities on Icebreakers are paid abilities, so at step 3.1, the runner can boost and break before the corp can use his corporate Troubleshooter.

Thanks, that's the rule I forgot. Now, it seems obvious ^^. Enjoy the game :)
Just curious but does the paid abilities trigger have to resolve before non ice cards can be rezzed, or can those triggers happen interchangeably?

Those happen at the same timing priority.
This card is great because it can single-handedly win you games against certain strategies. Mimic is their only sentry breaker? Boost Rototurret to 4 strength (or 4+X where X is the number of datasucker counters they have). Only costs you $4 and you can trash a key program. Same thing goes for Atman decks. You probably don't want to run more than 2 of these because they don't work very well in other matchups, but definitely worth including. If you can force the runner to Femme your 4 strength Rototurret then mission accomplished.
