Alton O'Connell · ArkhamDB

The wording on this card implies that if you are doing an action, have a lighting bolt window, and the shroud of your location is zero, you can exhaust Alton to gain a clue without spending any evidence.

It seems like the obvious choice for this ally to land would be in a difficulty zero cluever or flex deck. This would be especially effective in a difficulty zero Darrell deck, as you could get some free evidence from it as well. Which seems extremely strong, especially in a level 0 deck and for enabling this archtype.

Ooooh... Good catch. Exactly the same as the classic "Lola Santiago + difficulty reduction" combo. — DrOGM · 25 3/21/25

Now that I think about it, our good mayor Charlie Kane can run both Alton O'Connell AND Lola Santiago, and has access to Survivor up to lvl2 (sadly missing out on Old Keyring(3)). So he could focus on difficulty zero with those two allies and grab 2 clues without spending an actions... — DrOGM · 25 3/21/25

Just had the same realization and came to see if there were any comments confirming. Notably, he is based on the shroud value and not the difficulty of the test being taken. So doesn't combo with Gumption and the like (if this wasn't obvious). — Semiotics · 1 3/27/25

This should go crazy with Ashcan Pete. Use Matchbox to reduce shroud to 0 and double dip on free clues by readying Alton.

This comment is at least 200 characters long. No really, it is. I promise. For real.

How do you get the pass by 3? — MrGoldbee · 1479 4/9/25

you don't. you just use 0 evidence on shroud 0 — Adny · 1 4/9/25

Not particularly hard to get the occasional pass by three in any character, even lacking exact modulation. That said, Pete can pretty easily run Artistic Inspiration, too. — SSW · 215 4/10/25
